Where is the Hon. j. NJ. Frink OF
King county. and why does he not show
HE face in Yakima. Is he purpoeely
keeping away? Mr.. Frink came to the
east side of the mountains in September
with the avowed intention Of attending
the state fair. He spent whole day in
Ellensburg, although be did not make q
public speech, and stated there that he
was going to visit Yakima Suddenly
his plans were changed and he skipped
Yakima by. What was the occasion
Was he then and there notified of the in

commissioners, and was he instructed TO

proposed attempt to create scandslf

The republicans in Minnesota are
showing marked apathy regarding the
coming election and many, 1t is said, alb.
solutely refuse to vote. In st. Paul the
registration has only been 2S.593 against
30,95S in 1896, and this falling off is as
cribed to discomfort with the republican
administration of affairs. Bryan's
chances appear to be improving daily
throughout the eastern and middle states.

Editor Robertson's Estimate Of Himself.

Editor W. w. Robertson is gifted
writer and 1t might be even said that at
times he rises to state of b-illiancy, but
his talent runs more to fiction than fact,
although occasionally he stumbles upon
the latter. This was pointedly illustrat-
ed in the issue OF the Republic of Octo.
Der 20. when poem appeared under the
caption Of "a Democratic Campaign
Song" It is seldom that Mr.. Robertson
rises to the fight Of posy but the muse
evidently took possession of him on this
occasion, for the work is certainly his
own as no other author or credit is given
for this little gem. So meritorious is it
that THE HERALD takes pleasure in its
reproduction and in order that the true
sentiment can be more readily perceived

'Rah for Bryan" cried noisy pop,
Oh all you debtors come and have a drop;
Billy is the boy who will level matters up,
Everybody fill up his horn and his cup
Rah, rah rah, is the only argument
To pile up votes for the next president;
So holler all you can no need to think,
Only holler enough, just stopping to drink;
Never mind the pay we can pay for it soon
To the tune of something like is to 1.
Here's to free money, free noise, free whisky
Even to think of it makes me feel frisky;
Go call the hungry, the thirsty and lazy,
Round up the party, unwashed and hazy;
All of you yell till they say you are crazy.

Tune up the tomtoms for the great walk over

INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT Will
LIAMs.
He Explains in Details the propositions OF
the Seaboard Air Line.

President John Shelton Williams, Of
the Seaboard Airline. when asked
Tuesday night by Dispatch reporter
whether his company would be likely
to accept certain amendments which 1t
was reported might be added to the Dill
in the Finance Committee. one amend
ment involving the price to be paid to
the State for her r f. q P. stock, and
another providing that bond for sew
eral hundred thousand dollars should be
given instead of the present $50, 600
cash forfeiture provided for in the bill,
said
1--WE feel that in agreeing TO give
5000 per share to the State We have
been more than liberal. and are practi-
cllly paying what is equivalent to
from $3.50. coo to $500 900 for our char
ter. Ia other words; we are paying
that much more for the States stock
than it is worth or than it would bring
in the market at the present time. and
that much more than it has ever been
sold at in the history Of the road.
IF any one else can do better for the
State they are welcome to the charter,
so far as we are concerned. We have
agreed not Only to take the States in
terest in the R, f. e. p road, but we
have gone further and agreed to do what
no other applicant for charter has
ever been required to do before, so far
as my knowledge goes. either in this
State or in any other State in the Union
we have agreed to forfeit $50 900 if
we do not build the road which the
charter would authorize US to build.
1.-The only possible value that this
charter could be TO us would be for the
purpose of constructing the road, since
we have shown we have had no inten.
ton of coercing the K. +. 81 p. into
agreeing to an amendment which will
absolutely prevent US from making with
that company any traffic arrangements
more favorable than that we now have.
In buying the r., f. 81 p. stock at
$500 per share We are paying for that
road on a basis Of about $40, 900 per
mile. or about three times what 1t
would cost us to build an entirely new
road from Richmond to Washington.
la other words, we are paying for this
piece of property at a higher rate than
any other piece of railroad in the South
ern States is now selling for, based
upon the market value of It's securities.
We are unwilling to go any further.
1--WE are fully aware Of the schemes
which are being contrived by the ene-
mics of the Richmond and Washington
road to kill the charter by delay or by
lacking on amendments which no rea'
sonable man, or set Of men, would be
likely to consent to. We shall know
very soon whether these plans to throttle
an enterprise for which the psople OF
Virginia, indeed Of the whole South,
are now crying aloud, will succeed. "
