the following from the Pcst-inteiligencer

merce yesterday afternoon, M James u.
C,ivens introduced a resolution emoodyihS
the suggestion of the Post-inteiii.ehcer
that Seattle be recognized by the ute OF
the Empress city, because OF the extensive
territory over which she has CONNER
ciai supremacy and which is tributary 10
her. The resolution was referred to the
committee on city and county affairs, Tor
ITS report at the next regular meeting. and.
In the meantime. the Post-Intelligencer
would urge upon the chamber its official
recognition Of this Fobriquet OF the city.
For years, Seattle has been called the
Queen city. but as the Pcst-Intelligencer
has shown her territory has grown from
single country and one people to many
countries and many peoples. thus con-
siituting an imperial domain over which
only an empress can rule. and Seattle be-
comes OF right the Empress CITY," This
has fine large sound, but is there no
incongruity in a republican and demo-
cratic community appropriating these the
CRITICALLY hateful monarchical and imperial
terms-symbols OF former state of bond
age? Alas for the Washingtoaian and
Jeffersonian simplicity OF the past! Those
worthless would surely turn in their graves
