From the Corunna Journal.

From the Corunna Journal.
There was great rejoicing at the home
of Alderman Eveleth over the safe ar
rival of his son Ralph, who has been
serving his country in the Philippine
Islands. Ralph was member of the
First Washington Volunteers, and serv-
ed over year in the islands He en-
joyed good health until within a few
weeks before he left the islands, when
he had an attack of fever, which gave
him hard pull, and although he has
gained twenty-five pounds since, yet he
too plainly shows the effect of the dis
ease. However, with this cold climate
and home care, it is confidently expect
ed that he will soon recover his old.time
vigor.
Ralph participated in twelve engage
ments and fortunately escaped the bull
lets of the Filipinos. Only three of the
company were killed in battle. While
he has no fault to find with his officers
or treatment received, yet he has no
desire to repeat the experience.

THE BOILER EXPLOSION.

TIE coroner's jury in the case of the
boiler explosion on Second avenue could
not have done otherwise than to divide the
responsibility between the proprietor OF
the building. the makers Of the boiler and
the city Of Seattle. 1t was clearly an in
stance where contrinutory mcgee should
be charged. and where blame should be at
municipal regulations
Had the city authorities been fully alive
TO the obligations which no one but a city
can undertake for the protection OF human
life. 1t would have been impossible for the
owner of the boiler or the sellers OF it 10
have dealt in such dangerous material.
Boiler inspection under systematic d.
rect.on. like electric wire, plumbing and
building inspection. are elements OF adj
ministration without which no city can
consider itself well governed. Seattle has
been unduly remiss in these matters. and
it would, perhaps, be a salutary lesson
were the consequences Of the affair OF last
week to be sharply visited upon the authori-
ties
Chief Kellogg, Of the ere department, has
long insisted upon the necessity Of strict
laws with reference to electric wiring. The
building and the Plumbing inspection are
already fairly well managed. although the
usual tendency to subordinate the offices
TO politics IL more or less manifest. But
more thorough and comprehensive plans Of
control in the other directions are very
urgently required Municipal. inspection
occupies the same relation TO public safety
as does quarantine to pubic health. 1t
cannot be neglected without the repetition
Of just such deplorable catastrophes as
that by which the three visiting CONNER
cial travellers lost their lives.

In sparseIy settled districts. where
people made acquaintances and estao-
Iished homes. there has arisen what is
called the common law marriage: but
this recognition arose rather out o. a
desire TO preserve the rights OF children

tendency to encourage iaxity in form
ing connubiai contracts.
Society has done more than the Law
TO preserve the solemnity of marriage,
and although the ceremonial may be
without the sanction Of priestiy hands,
