DOSTON, Tie HuD vi AtkluSOudl-
doism has elected a Republican
mayor.
AN honest count goes in Kentucky.
The election certificate has been is
sued to Taylor, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, and Goebel is out.
If straws are any indication of the
prevailing winds, then the fact that
even the municipal elections held IN
the towns of the state, elected the
republican ticket very generally,
premises what the result of the 1900
election is likely to be.
THE Washington State Teachers
Association holds its 18th annual
meeting at Seattle, Dec. 27-29th, with
a program of much interest to the
teachers of the state. The railroad
companies will return teachers at one
fifth fare, if they take a receipt fer first
fare and have it countersigned.
TACOMA hopes to be in the swim,
and its representative in Congress
have already introduced bill provid-
ing for a $75O,O0O public building and
100000 U. S. mint in that city.
Washington is certainly entitled to a
larger share of the government appro-
priations, and the town with the pull
is entitled to the plums.
The British have suffered several
severe reverses in their campaign
against the Beers, the last being the
loss Of over 700 soldiers, besides NUM-

now realizes the serious proposition
with which it is dealing, for the Dutch
men are making stronger fight than
most people thought possible.
SUBSCRIPTIONS are being taken up in
Seattle, Tacoma and most of the towns
of the Sound to aid the families strick-
en- by the recent disaster at the Car
bonado coal mines. While we are a

might add little to swell the fnnd
for the good of suffering humanity,
and it is suggested that subscription
list be opened.
The Tacoma Ledger is reported to
have been sold to Banker Lord, OF
Olympia, who is looking after good
thing in the newspaper line. The
new owner has always been demo.
crat, but claims to have voted for Nc
Kinley at the last election, and expects
to do it again, IS we presume his
money is good enough for republican
payer. The Tacoma News has also
been struck with the march OF pros.
perity, having recently moved into
new quarters and added a frst-class
perfectlng press.
SUPERINTENDENT d. B. Shelter, o.
the State Forestry Reserves, thinks
the state should enact some special
legislation to protect the remaining
herds Of elk still found in the Olympic
mountains. He spent two months on
the Olympic reserve this fall and has
several stories TO tell illustrating The
manner in which this noble game hal
been wantonly destroyed there IN til,
recent past. Farmers, he says, hav,
finally awakened to the fact that thu
game is rapidly disappearing and ar,
using more care, IN pro Getting it. Th,
herds of elk have stopped ranging ii
the valley land, grazing in the highe
foothills, where hunters meet man,
hardships in reaching them. Elk an
found in but few places in the Unite,
States and without doubt they win e
main longer IN the Olympic noun
tains in their wild state than any
where else IN the country Seattl
