With the election just five weeks off
from next Tuesday, indications point strong
" to a sweeping Democratic victory in
Virginia this year. eta
Never before has a. canvass in the State
been directed with more dexterity and fore
sight on the Democratic side than the
present one up ito this point, and never
have the Republicans seemed more mac
tive and careless as to the result tCi-
lowing the mandates Of their State Com
mittee, they have made congressional nom
nations in all the districts OF the state,
but in all save three or four it has only
been in obedience to the behests or the
Ibis, bosses and without the barest nope
of success at the polls.
If the Democrats keep up their sp!enulu
fight for the next thirty days (and every
assurance is given that they wild, the
opposition will draw no prizes from the
ballot box in Virginia on the 9Th OF No

praises of Senator Hill ever since his mag
niiicent discussion of the issue of the
canvass at the Casino, in this city last
Tuesday night.
He not only made votes for Bryan by
his visit to Virginia. but he made many
strong friends for himself. He was met
on every hand by letters and personal
assurances of friendship and support
should he at any time again become an
aspirant for the presidency. Many of the
cabinet builders have already named him
for. the position of Secretary CT State in
Mr. Rrvan's official family, should that
gentleman meet the expectations of many
good political judges and win out in the
coming election.

James L. Clancy Jr., who was a
member OF one Of the best known
families in Seattle and perhaps
the Northwest, died last Sunday at
the Providence hospital. The
name Clancy of the Seattle family

average citizen of this section saw.

pened to him and doubly SO in the
case of death.

1t could give me no more pleasure
than were it a part of my own
family that | hear spoken off so
complimentary. Seattleites when
away from home can truly sing,
Home sweet home, there is no
place like home"
Many persons in Seattle will
have reasons to remember last
Sunday for years to come should
they be SO fortunate to live that
long, for, it was day of sadness
in good many places. First of
all the death of J.. W. Van Brock
lin should be mentioned. In fit
OF temporary insanity superin-
duced by continued sickness Of
the most agonizing nature, he cut
his throat with his razor last
Saturday and died from the effects
Sunday. "Van," as he was COM
monty called by his hundreds of
friends, was familiar figure in
Seattle and universally liked. He
made many friends and few ene-
mics. Even as politician he had
very few enemies, if any. He
leaves two sons in this city each of
whom is well and favorable known
in the city as well as prominent
business men.
A turnpike road to Tacoma from
Seattle passing through two of the
most fertile valleys in the state
the White River and the Stuck
does not sound bad on white paper
nor would it 60 bad on your wheel,
but it is so distantly clad in the
uncertain future that only those
who live on hope can ever expect
to see such turnpike. However,
the county commissioners Of King
have appointed viewers in the per-
sons of City Engineer Thompson
of Seattle and Mayor A. I'll. Meade
Of Auburn to make report of
the advisability as we'll as feasa-
bility of attempting to construct
such road with intersecting cross
roads to the principal settlements
in both of the valleys. With one
regular railroad through the val
leys, an electric road also spanning
the distance between Seattle and
Tacoma and a turnpike doing like
wise it begins to look as the rival
ry between the two cities will soon

will be practically one great city

into one is now the spirit of the

It is learned from the White
River Journal that the late Seattle
election is already having it's
effect on the shaping of Republi-
can politics in this state to the
detriment of some of the political
Iaspirants.
Fusion versus Confusion is
the heading Of an editorial in the
Aberdeen Herald. 1t wants the
'three ringed circus" which
showed through the state with
such great success in 1896, to
come together as one show and do
the state even more successfully
than it did four years ago. That
would be alright, if it would work,
but it will not work, even though
advocated by editor John J.
| Carney.
The citizens in and about Port
Orchard must be a most thrifty
lot and have their eyes on many
things and improvements that will
bring greatness to their little town
within the near future. The In
dependent calls for the establish
ing of three caneries there and for
the placing of fast steamers on the
run between Port Orchard and
Seattle that the business men in
Seattle can buy homes at Port
Orchard and yet get to the city in
good seasonable business hours.
When the Pomeroy Independ-
ent calls the city fathers attention
to the fact that the city cowherd-
ers are herding on the streets of
the city, it overlooks an import
ant item, namely, it is the cheapest
way to keep the weeds and grass
down that would otherwise grow
promiscously and in great profu-
sion on the streets.
Before a letter can be sent out
from Chehalis the corner has to be

10000 persons in the Grays Har-
Dor country, who furnish the
Northern Pacific the vast amount
of business that they do, should be

that such a state of affairs come to

University of Washington.
The first basket ball team of the
girls was all that could be expect
ed. The individual training Of
the team has been good, besides,
this team was selected from three
others, that have often contested
with it In training. The team was
organized in 1895 and since then
has been defeated only once-the
Everett in 1899. In 1896 it won
the championship, likewise won
that of Washington and in 1899
that Of British Columbia. 1t ia
made up Of the very best young
lady athletes in the institution.
Miss Jessie Barlow is the CAP
tain and besides being an excel
lent athlete, she has a splendid
record as a student, having gone
further in mathematics and
natural science than any other
"coed" at the university and even
further than many OF the men.
She is a senior and so will be gra-
duated this year, and when she
leaves it is doubtful if another
will be readily found to take her
place.
The intercollegiate debate in
which team from the University
OF Washington will meet any from
the Washington Agricultural
College, will be held this year at
Pullman about the beginning of
May. The university team is
working very hard upon the
chosen subject and has strong
hopes Of success. It is also report
ed that the team which will re-
present the Washington Agricul-
tural college is likewise putting
forth great efforts in their prepa-
rations and so, an excellent debate
may be looked for, one in which
the vanquished will receive about
as much benefit therefrom as the
vlctOrs.
A base ball team was organized
last week with Edward Duffy as
captain. 1t is expected that
another team will be organized at
once SO that the practicing may be
continued weekly. There is some
fine base ball material in the
student body and it is hoped that
some of it will appear upon the
campus in the near future. There
is nothing much now to attract
the attention since the foot ball
season is over.
Thomas G.. Mitchell resigned
the editorship of the Pacific Wave
one day last week. Mr.. Mitchell
expects to be one of the contest
ants in the Oregon debate and the
necessary work required for the
preparation for such an occasion
together with other pressing
duties forced him to surrender his
position as editor-in-chief Of the
university organ. Mr.. Mitchell
was not brilliant or sensational
writer. His greatest strength was
to be found in his excellent reason
ing power and steadiness of pur-
pose. He is an energetic hard
worker and, had the students
given him the support to which he
was justly entitled, there can be
no doubt but that the Wave would
have been greatly improved.
