An Early Convention.

The state central committee should
come together at an early date and
issue its call for convention to name
delegates to the national Republican
convention. In this case there is no
reason for postponement or delay. The
party in the state as in the nation Is
harmonious and united. There is no
division of opinion among Washington
Republicans on national issues or ma
tional candidates. Together we stand
behind the policies represented by the
Republican party at the nations CAPT.
tai. Rarely, indeed, since the war OF
the rebellion fused the patriots Of this
country into one compact and irresisti-
BILE mass has there been such unanim-
ity and enthusiasm.
The maintenance Of the protective
tariff; currency reform on the gold
standard; the encouragement of trade
and the upbuilding of our merchant
marine; the acceptance Of all the results
of our war with Spain; devotion to the
flag wherever it floats and the suppress
sion of Instruction and rebellion, and a
regulation and control of trusts that
will preserve their economic advantages
while depriving them Of their power to
control our markets,--these are items
of a policy to which the Republican
party is devoted and which thrills with
pride and noble purpose the vast ma
jority Of our people today. AS the fore
most representative of that policy. Will
liam Mckinley stands without posi-
BILE rival for the Republican nominal
ton for president.
Were there any conceivable difference
of opinion within the party as to either
measures or men in the coming cam
paign, elaboration and delay would be
in order. There is none. There is only
a friendly and amiable rivalry for
precedence in indorsing the man and
the policy that represent the faith of
Republicans and the patriotic impulse Of
the American people. Let our state be
foremost in this contest. Since moth
ing is to be gained or changed by pro-
crastination, let us raise the standard
and sound the rallying cry for the cam
paign of 1900. The party calls for an
early convention and bugle note from
the Pacific coast 1t is fitting that the
state which was first to declare for the
great principles on which that party
makes it's appeal to the people should
be the first to announce their triumph
and their maintenance as the present
mission of the undying party of the
people. Let US have summons for a
convention without the waste Of an un-
necessary day.

have FIRST place. the issue will turn prin-
cipaily upon the character and records
of the men nominated for city offices.
Republican fortunes will depend upon
wise and public spirited action first in
the local field.
This is q critical time in the history
of Seattle. The city Is fast passing out
Of the crude early stage. It is becom-
ing metropolis. It's needs are many.
It's future must be planned and direct
ed by men Of broad views. men above
the level OF the village politician, men
Of irreproachable character and unap-
proachable integrity. 1t is well known
to every practical politician that the
selection of candidates depends largely
upon the work done in shaping public
opinion before the convention meets.
To that work we summon the intelli-
gence, the pride and the devotion to
party and public interest Of every Re-
publican voter.
It is just as much the duty Of every
voter Of Seattle to interest himself In
the events Of the next two months. act
lively and personally. as 1t is to go to
his office in the morning and open his
business mail. We will have btisi-
ness-fike administration Of public af-
fairs when, and only when business
men realize that It is their duty to
work for it; not only by voting the
ticket, but by attending the primary
and by participating in those confer
ences and movements antecedent to the
primary in which the fortunes and At
ness OF various candidates are can
vassed and passed upon. A little In
terest, q little care. a little work now
may have far-reaching effects upon the
future of Seattle and that Of the Repub-
lican party in state as well as city Re-
publicans should work together and
every man Of them should labor for a
convention and ticket that will COM
mand the hearty approval and the will
ing SURFACES Of our people.

COVER THE PATROL WAGON.

Seattle, Jan. Q, 1900
To the Editor: And then there Is our
patrol wagon, which ought by all means
to be covered. It Is used for three pur-
poses: First, to carry guilty persons to
jail; second, to carry possibly innocent
persons to jail: and thirdly. to carry in
valids to the hospital. For all three Of
these uses It should be covered. In the
first case. because this open. noisy pa
rading of criminals on the public street
Ia unnecessary to the administration Of
Justice, unpleasant to many Observers. and
more because 1t il unfair to the offender
as amounting to a trial by policemen and
as being no part Of his lawful punishment.

The evidence thus far tells strongly
against Clark, of Montana, in the brib-
cry case against him. 1t is difficult to
see how a charge Of this nature could
be more directly established. He must
clear himself by something more con-
vincing than the assertion Of a politi-
cal plot Of his enemies to ruin him.

BAD FIRE At WAlTnAM.
South Side Fire Station Burned With Seven
Horses--lO Men Injured.

Waltham, Mass, Oct 5.-This city Is
without proper facilities for announc-
ing alarms of fire. today, as the result
Of the destruction of the south side IRE
station at an early hour, this morning.
The fire resulted in the loss of seven
trained horses, q piece of apparatus
and injuries to 10 members of the com
panies which occupied the building,
and a financial loss of $4,000 on the
building itself.
From evidences which were foGn1.
this morning, 1t is believed that the
fire started at the foot OF night OF
stairs leading from the basement 10
the ground floor and the cause is Sc
down on the books as spontaneous
combustion.
When first seen the flames had en-
veloped the entire first floor and il was
because of this fact that the tiremen,
who were asleep at the time in the up
per stories, received their injuries.
They started to come down TO the pole
as usual, but ii was 50 hot that they
were forced to loosen their hold ana
drop in some cases IL to 20 feet, into
the mass of flames below.
The injured were: Frank Whelpley.

Six of the valuable trained horses
belonging to the department Were
burned to death, while one other, Which
succeeded in liberating himself, ran VI

his head terribly burned, and he was
shot by a policeman.
Despite their injuries. the hremen
made a gallant attempt to rescue the
apparatus, and with the aid of citizens
succeeded in saving most of it. The
chiefs wagon and a fire wagon We're
nearly destroyed, however. and hose
was badly burned. The aerial truck
was also badly scorched.
The central station of the fire sigma
system was located in this building
and was rendered entirely useless SC
that the station was out of communl-
cation with all the others. This rae
caused great delay in securing assist
ance. Arrangements have been made
today. in the case of fire, to have the
alarm rung from the various churci
bells There is nothing remaining o.
the handsome building but the walls
the floors having fallen through to tht
basement.

THEORIES ABOUT CATaRRH.
Peculiar Ideas Regarding Common disease

Mark TWain's cure for a cold in the
head was simple. but he claims very
effective in his own case; his plan was
to eat nothing whatever for twenty
four hours or presumably until the
trouble had disappeared
Although not able to speak from per-
sonal experience as to the effectiveness
Of this treatment, it certainly has the
merit of extreme economy, but it oc-
ours to us that the application of it to
a case of nasal catarrh might be at
tended with difficulties.
Catarrh, as everyone knows, is a
chronic cold in the head and Mr.
Twain's treatment if it should become
fad, would make of US a nation Of
fasters; an army, emulating the eX-
ample of the immortal Tanner who
achieved world wide fame by fasting
forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a
national disease and there is little
doubt that errors in diet. particularly
over eating is a very common cause.
Most people however are more in
terested in the cure of the trouble than
in the cause, and modern medical
science has produced more effective
and less heroic remedies than Mr..
Twain's.
Guaiacol is new remedy, very
effective in some forms of Catarrh.
Eucalyptol is another which on &C
count of its antiseptic properties is
very valuable. while many severe cases
of Chronic Catarrh have been entirely
cured by the sanguinaria or extract of
Blood root alone.
Within year an enterprising chem
list has combined all Of these rene
dies in tablet form, palatable and con-
venient and the superiority of this tab
let over other catarrh remedies is so
apparent that all druggists now carry
them in stock to supply the popular
demand.
They are called Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and it is doubtful if any medi-
cine has achieved national popu-
larity in so short a time as this.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets are used by
thousands of travelling men because
they can be carried in the pocket and
used any time and in any quantity
being free from Cocaine, opiate or any
poisonous drug.
They clear the head and throat from
the disgusting secretions of catarrh,
very often in a few hours time.
For nasal Catarrh they are far
superior to any wash. lotion or ONT
ment the use of which is often as in
convenient and annoying as the dis
ease itself.
For coughs, colds. bronchial catarrh
and catarrh of the stomach these tab
lets give immediate relief and a ner-
manent cure where lotions. douches
and inhalers make no impression
whatever.
This preparation is boon to catarrh
sufferers and any druggist will tell you
that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets is a
remedy that has come to stay.

ON INSTALlMENT PLAN.
Turkey Reported as Paying Indemnify But No
Money Received at Washington.

New York, Oct. 5.-Rumors have
reached diplomatic circles in London
according to dispatch from there 10
the Herald, to the effect that the Turk
ish government is gradually discharg-
ing its Indebtedness to the United
States.
An attache of one of the chief en-
bassies in London said:
We are informed from reliable
source that the Sultan has given orders
that the American claims against the
imperial exchequer shall be satisfied on
the installment plan and that already
few thousand dollars of the amount
involved has been paid.
According to our information, strict
secrecy has been maintained in regard
to the matter, with the object OF avoid
ing general clamor for similar treat
ment on the part of Turkeys creditors.
Faid Ibrahim Bey. secretary OF the
Turkish embassy in London, discussed
the question in a reserved manner.
A special to the Herald from Wash
ington says:
A high official Of the state depart
ment said that Turkey has not settled
any portion of the missionary claims,
but her promises to pay continue to be
made.
Though Mr.. Hay. secretary of state
invited the Turkish government to re-
move its minister from Washington.
the sublime Porte has answered the in
vitation by designating Il successor to
Ali Ferrouh Bey. now in Washington.
1t is believed in diplomatic circles in
Washington that had the Chinese
trouble not occurred, this government
would have proceeded to the extent of
making a naval demonstration in the
Mediterranean to compel the payment
of the indemnity. Turkey, however,
took advantage of the pre-occupation
of the United States in the Far East,
and although she went SO far as to fix
a date. when she would pay the indem-
nifty, the $780, 900 demanded has never
been paid The authorities have de-
termined not to send minister to
Turkey until the claims are settled and
they propose to continue to insist that
the demand Of this government be COM
piled with.

sidered the great game of the year.
Last year, Bowdoin won the game with
great ease by the score of 16 to 6. This
year. Bates is unreasonable about the
| terms, wanting to keep the larger part
of the gate receipts herself, instead of
IGividing them equally as was decided,
last year. AS Bowdoin defeated Bates
SO easily, last year. and so is under no
real necessity OF playing, this year,
) Manager Berry is to hold out to the
terms Of last year. 1t is hoped that
Bates will see the situation in its true
light and come to terms.
b The men who will line up against
Harvard, tomorrow, are in perfect ply
steal condition. Bodwel, 1901, Bow
d,in's standby, will be in the center of
! the Une. This is his fourth year that
he has played against Harvard. He is
stronger than ever before and is sure
to keep the Harvard center busy. He
weighs 240. leighton, 1901. and PhippS.
1904, will play, the guards. Leighton
Played last year, and has had con
siderable experience. He ought to play
a strong game when against such men
as Harvard has in her line. Phipps is
Il Zig freshman from Chelsea, Mass.
He played center on 'Hoppy in Bos-
ton. last year He weighs 225 pounds
and is very fast for SO large man.
This will be his first appearance
against Harvard.
AT the tackle positions will be found
F. Marshall. 1901, Ava Dunlap, 1903.
Marshal is playing his usual strong
game, Dunlap played on last years
team against Bates and did great work
in that game.
Kelley, 1902, who has been playing
end, was injured. last night during the
practice and cannot play, tomorrow.
His place will be filled by Hamilton
1902, who is heavy man for end. He
is a good tackle, but rather slow and
can be pulled in rather too easily for
a first-class end. Laferriere, 1901, Will
play the other end. He was the star
tackle, last year; he Is playing as
strongly at end as he did at tackle.
ard If Harvard expects 10 make gains
around his end, it will be sadly mis-
taken.
Pratt. 1901, captain of the Varsity
base ball team, will play quarter back.
! He is new at foot ball, but has 4 re
markable cool head for quarter back
and will be strong player before the
season is over.
Captain Gregson and "Buntei" Hunt
will play the half back positions
Nothing need be said of their playing
they are putting up the same grade of
foot bail that they have for the two
past years. 1t is safe to say that II
Bowdoin holds Harvard, these two men
will do a lions share of the work.
At full back there is a question as
TO who shall play. Upton, 1907. and
Wilson 1908. are the two candidates.
Upton played last year but is not put
ting up the game he is capable of at
present. He is over-confideat. Wilson
o played on last years freshman team.
He is putting far more dash and spirit
into his play than Upton and it would
not be surprising if he ousted Upton
from his place at full back before man.!
weeks.
