Around Mt. Rainier.

This mountain is the grandest in the
United states. 1t is more than 5000
feet high, is covered with ice and snow,
has beautiful parks and noble forests
at its base, and is much frequented by
camping parties, tourists and noun
tain climbers.
Some years ago the Northern Pacific
fitted out a party that assembled the
mountain to its highest point. An
article in Wonderland '98 describes
some experiences of the party in camp
life in Paradise Park. This mountain
trip is sure to become increasingly
popular, especially to those who make
Puget Sound u theatre for vacation

The wescerntEIections.

The municipal elections in Ohio
and the election for judges and
local officers in Michigan were
chiefly notable for the overwhelm-
ing defeat of M ayor McKisson, the
Republican candidate in Cleve-
land, through the opposition of
Senator Hanna, and for thetmass-
ing OF the labor vote in many local
ities,
In Toledo Mayor Tones, who
was denied denomination by the
Republicans on account Of his
Socialistic sentiments, vas elected
as an independent candidate by
10000 or $4,000 plurality. He
has favored municipal ownership
of franchises.
In Detroit and the other cities Of
Michigan Chief Judge Grant, Re-
publican, was heavily cut by the
laboring men on account OF an
anti-boYcott decision.
In Chicago, Carter H. Harrison
was reelected Mayor by over 4o,-
900 plurality. Harrison is Dem
ocrat, but his campaign was con-
Quoted on strictly non-partisan
lines. His brilliant victory over a
Doodle council and the street car
barons few months ago brought
him the votes not only Of the
Democrats. but men Of all the
other parties. The Mayor ad-

and the peoples victory. II was

A Rotten Defence of Rotten Beef

A Rotten Defence of Rotten Beef
The defenders OF the rotten army
beef have discovered new con-
spiracy. They see in this expo
sure of Alger, Eagan and the
Chicago beef trust a Democratic
plot to fasten the responsibility
upon Mckinley, and thus give an
impetus to General Miles's alleged
candidacy for the Presidency.
1t would be difficult to conf ure
up poorer defence of the poisoned
beef conspirators. The renomina-
ton OF Mckinley is assured.
Hanna and the office seekers will
attend to that. The person who is
fastening responsibility" upon
the President is Mr.. Mckinley
himself
Being a stanch Republican
General Miles would not accept
a nomination on the Democratic
ticket if he could get it, a possibil-
ity so remote that it is absurd to
consider it.
This disposes Of General Miles's
Presidential chances, and gives a
complete answer to the vicious
charges of his enemies that his
course has been dictated by politi.
cal ambition. His unsullied record
as a soldier and his fearless un-
masking OF Administration black
guards, rascals and incompetents
have endeared him to the people,
and in their confidence and afiec-
tion he finds his highest reward.
Washington sentinel., 1899-04-08
BlInd to AIger,s Ineompeteno Y.

It is again reported from Wash
ington that Secretary Alger must
60, and that if his resignation is
not forthcoming the President will
demand it. Unless this rumor is
followed by an official confirmation
from the White House, it is we'll
not to give it too much credence.
Nothing has happened to change
the confidence Of the President in
his Secretary OF War. Even the
prooi before the court OF inquiry
that he gave instructions to the
Commissary Department as to
what beef contracts were 20 be ac-
cepted will not have any weight
with Mckinley. Ever since the
war began he has had cumulative
evidence of Alger's utter incom-
potency. Not only in the pre-
parations tor, but in the conduct
of the war, his blunders, his ignor-
ance and his favoritism have been
the scandal OF the country.
If the President has by word or
sign shoW Wn his dlsapproval OF the
management of the War Depart
ment, there is no record of it. On
the contrary,he has given repeated
evidence that he was satisfied with
the condition of affairs.
In the face of this blindness to
the mental and moral defects of
Alger, why should the President,
even with the necessities Of a
campaign for reelection urging
him on, be credited with awaken
ing to the enormitY OF the burden
his Administration is carrying in
the man fr ON Michigan.

A Swell Thief Protected.

The friends of Captain o. M.
Carter, encouraged by the consid-
Grafton shown him, are now trying
to have him restored to duty in the
Engineer Corps The power to
disregard the verdict Of the court
martial in this case rests solely
with the President. So far he has
treated Carter most lenientlY. The
appointment OF distinguished
counsel to review the case in the
hope of discovering some flaw in
the findings was made by authority
OF the President.
Captain Carter was found guilty
OF misappropriating over 81, I,ooo,-
900 while in charge OF Government
work at Savannah. The sentence
OF the court martial was dismissal
from the army and FIVE years i'm
prisonment in the : penitentiary.
This verdict was rendered eighteen
months ago, but Carter's social
and political influences were so
powerful that no action has been
taken. Senator I. &. Platt is
among those who have asked for
clemency for him.
The action OF the President is
condemned, says the New York
fonyNal, by all who are acquainted
with the facts. Carter's ofense
was most f1agrant. He robbed the
Government whose uniform he
wore, delayed important public
work, and disgraced his Office. II
he were not society pet, with a
strong political pull, he would be
now wearing a convicts garb, in
stead Of planning to return to an
honorable service which should be
spared his contaminating presence,

where the Married Men SHINE

Where the Married Men shine
There were two candidates for
the Presbyterian pulpit at White
stone, L. Ia married man and a
bachelor. By a vote Of So to I8
the elders chose the married man
because he is a married man, and
rejected the bachelor because he is
a bachelor.
Here is principle of very wide
application. From the standpoint
Of the play-writing or novel writing
romancer the husband is a sorry
figure with his vanished waist line,
his carpet slippers and his unheroIc
Practicality. But from the stand
point OF the employer the married
man is a most attractive figure, and
the unmarried man, with half an
eye for his work and an eye and a
half tor the women, is so undesira-
BILE that he is never taken if a
sober, settled man of family can be
had.
AS long as life is a routine OF
toll, with romance as its rare occa-
sional relaxation, the practical in
stltution OF matrimony will persist
with undiminished favor in spite
OF the derision and scorn OF the
advanced thinkers"

ClamOr for Places.

The proposed civil service order
OF the President, which will exempt
from the operations of the law at
least $500 places, may lead to a
serious disagreement between the
Executive and certain members Of
the Cabinet.
For more than a year he Presi
dent has been promising the party
workers that they should be given
this choice bit of patronage. yet
every time the order has been made
ready for promulgation an unex-
pected hitch has developed.
1t is said that Secretary Gage, OF
the Treasury, and Secretary Hitch
cock, of the Interior. favor civil
service and are opposed to exempt
ing so many places from the oper-
alton Of the law. They also op-
pose the proposition that party
spoilsmen shall load down depart
ments for whose operation they
are responsible with men whose
chief qualities for place is that they
carried ward primaries for their
leaders or were delegates at con-
ventions where they were useful
to their bosses.

Something 60 Think About.

It is estimated that in 1890 there
were I2,5oo,ooo families in the
United States, owning, all; prop
erty worth sos ,ooo, 900, 900. OF
these Ias 900 families, or Just
per cent of the whole, owned $751;
900, ,ooo, 900, or more than all the
rest of the people combined. Of
the remaining $50, ,ooo, 900, 900,
S23, 900, 900, 900, or more thar two
thirds. were held by I,37s,ooo
families. That lett II ,ooo, 900 fam
lilies, OF whom half owned SS, aoo,-
900 900 and the other half only
$500, 900, 900.
The 125, 900 families at the top
Of the scale owned over forty one
times as much property as the
$500, 900 families at the bottom,
and nearly four times as much as
II, 900, 900 families, constituting
seven-eighths of the population Of
the nation.
That was nine years ago. The
concentration Of wealth has gone
on at an enormously accelerated
rate since then, and it / going on
now faster than ever before.

No Boss Rules this Governor.

Governor Pingree, oi Michigan,
is unique character in public life.
He is eccentric enough to find out
what is good for the people and
then to strive to get it for them.
The allied forces of monop oly
have no terrors for him. He actu-
ally takes delight in winning his
political battles without their
assistance.
When he became Mayor OF De-
troit he turned over the vacant
lots OF the city to the poor that
they might raise vegetables to help
support themselves. His enemies
denounced him as a demagoque.
He forced the street railway
companies to reduce their fares to
three cents, cut gas rates in half,
and made the tax lodging wealthy
concerns OF Detroit pay twice as
much as formerly. His capitalistic
opponents proclaimed him an
Anarchist.
But Pin gree kept right on. He
was elected Mayor four times,
when the voters OF the State as
serted claim upon him and made
him Governor.
Through his influence the Leg
islature recently passed a bill
authorizing the city of Detroit to
buy and operate the street rail
ways. Ga last Saturday the City
Council approved the law, and
appointed a commission, with Gov
ernor Pingree at the head, to pur-
chase and operate the roads.
Although a Republican, he has
condemned his party for its sup
port OF trusts. He is a hearty
hater ofshams. He lives up to tine
pledges OF his platform. He re-
deems his ante-election promises.
Governor Pingree is in every re-
spect a great executive, and if pub
lie officials generally had his hon
esty, courage and ability, the coun-
try would be fortunate indeed.

tory adjoining the strip desired by
France. France has no desire to
have Germany for a neighbor on
the coast of the Mediterranean,
but she probably would not object
to GermanY's acquisition OF Sue
and block OF territory in southern
Morocco. There is no doubt that
if a French railway were con-
stTucted to Fee, the Algerian
towns Oran and Nemours would
become the outlets for the produce
of a fertile and extensive section
OF Morocco, and Tangier would
cease to be a place of commercial
importance, although its strategi-
cal value would remain. Definitely
thwarted in Egypt and in the
valley oi the Upper Nile. the pres
ent chief aim of France is to make
Morocco an annex Of Algeria.
The fact that, although there are
scarcely any Russian subjects
sojourning in the Sultanate, a
Russian Minister PlenipotentiarY
has been lately accredited to its
ruler, indicates a determination on
the part Of the Gar to support the
French policy OF expansion in
Northwestern Africa.
1t is we'll known that Spain has
historical claims to the possession
of Morocco, and these were indi-
rectlY recognized at the conference
which arranged the partition OF the
major part OF the Dark Continent,
when TO Spain was awarded a sec
ton Of the Atlantic coast living
Immediately south ofthe Sultanate.
1t is also true that Spain, alone OF
European powers, already has
foOtholds on the northern coast OF
Morocco at Ceuta, Melilla and
other fortified posts. There is
some reason to believe, however,
that France has acquired lien on
these places. According to Cadiz
paper, which is usually we'll in
formed, there was an agreement
between M. Hanotaux and Senior
Leon v Castillo, that, in return for
the material and moral support OF
France during the recent war,
Spain should give to her friend
Melilla, and authorize her to re-
model the Notifications Of Ceuta,
which was to pass under French
control " thin designated period.
1t is certain that the compact was
performed on the part of France,
so far as moral support was con-
cerned, but whether enough was
done to earn Ceuta and Melilla
may be considered doubtful. We
may be sure that the surrender OF
those places by Spain to France
would provoke vehement protests
from Great Britain.
All the disputes that have
hitherto arisen among European
powers in connection with the par
tition Of Africa are trivial, com
pared with those which are likely
to be witnessed when an attempt
is made to solve the Morocco
problem.
