ing an Irishman. The demonstrations

ences, Ireland is a loyal portion of the
empire. These sentiments are re-
echoed by all the Irish nobility.

CHICAGO GIRL MISSING.

CHICAGO. April A-The Tribune
says:
Police Inspector Headelmeier and
the police Of the East Chicago avenue
police station are investigating what
they assert are peculiar circumstances
surrounding the disappearance Of Mel
lima Kuehn. the 15-year-old daughter
of Otto Kuehn. Is Wells street. Kuehn
is baker and lives with his wife at
the address given. The girl disap-
peared three weeks ago and it is as
serted that her absence from home was
not reported to the police until week
later.
I'VE have found some peculiar evil
dence," said the inspector. "and | am
not sure what the outcome Of our in
vestigatlon will be. It may be that
the girl ran away from home. We VIII

fear that she may have come to harm.

This Is the center Of Dublin, with
Grattan's famous parliament chamber

The queen will pass its colonadss
with their fine architectural lines and
drive by the statue OF Grattan, which
stands on the site once selected for
a memorial to the Prince consort.
Dame street is magnificent blaze
Of color as far as the entrance TO Dub

quays The decorations are quieter dur
ing the remainder Of the route along
the river TO the gate Of Phoenix Park.
but there are fine effects Of color at
Four Courts.
The queen will not drive through
sackyilIe street. which is the pride Of
Dublin. nor will she pass either Of the
two Protestant cathedrals. She Will
not have even distant view Of Kill
mainham. where Parnell once negotiat-
ed peace with the Gladstone govern
ment and she will be conducted 10 the
Viceregal Lodge without passing the
spot where Lord Frederick cavendish
and Mr. Burke were assassinated.
The decorations Of the city are as
general as they are brilliant and taste
full. Red Is the dominant color rather
than green, but there is no lack OF
genuine Irish appreciation Of the
queens character and virtues. The in
scriptions on the house fronts are
hearty and affectionate and the SINGER
ity Of the welcome which the queen will
receive cannot be questioned.

Commissioner General Peck has sug-
gested to Secretary Hay the advisibil-

BRAND THE TRAITORS.

Seattle, Jan. II, 1900.
To the Editor: l have read with UNI
feigned pleasure and feelings whose
depths cannot be gagged or measured py
mere words, your patriotic leader IN TINS
mornings issue, the heading OF which
was, brand the Traitors In this arti-
Gle you so truly express and portray my
owns thoughts, feelings and sentiments,
and believe those Of the entire Ameri-
can people en- masse, that think the en-
tire article should be printed In letters
yard long and two feet wide and spiked
on every public building in the United
States with spikes of solid gold. As you
so well said, the time for mere parleying
and forbearing tolerance of traitors and
their foul utterances and doings should
now cease.
Like you. think what has been charged
against Andrew Carnegie can be proved
true. Then Arnold's guilt indeed shines
out with the pale light Of virtue along
side of the Stygian blackness of this mod
ern candidate for infany, who came to
our shores and. aided, fostered and pro-
tected by the liberty purchased on a hum
dred battlefields by patriots blood ana
sufferings, has reaped harvest OF gold.
I am only a common, plain. everyday
American, one who earns the right to ex-
list by the use of his hands and such poor
brains as he may possess in what deem
an honorable, manly way. But poor as
am and clothed with the obscurfty which
poverty always bestows with such a lib
eral hand, would not trade places with
Andrew Carnegie were his wealth pile
OF solid gold as long, high and wide as
the Rocky mountains. or with any other
traitor to his country's flag and human
liberty. Neither do I write these words
in vainglorious sense or as a seeker
after notoriety, but because they express
the plain truth.
Yes. I, with you, say, brand the traitors
with a blacker, more indelible mark than
that placed on the brow Of Cain; for he
murdered only one man, but these latter,
worse than him, have slain their fellow
citizens and dishonored their country un-
der the guise of broad, philanthropic pur-
pose and intent. Brand the Traitors"

WHY TRAIToRss

Tacoma, Jan. 16, 1900.
To the Editor: In the discussion of the
Philippine question by the Republican
press it seems to have become the uniform
rule to denounce as traitors all those who
oppose the policy of the administration.
or course, the motive for the application
of this term can be no other than to
frighten the weak into the support of that
which does not meet their. own conscien-
tious approval for the term is utterly
meaningless from the standpoint of the
law of treason. You might as well call
every man q traitor who should see fit
to oppose any other policy of the admins
tration, such as its tariff policy. or it's
financial policy. We have reached dan
gerous crisis in the affairs OF the repub-
lie IL free criticism and free speech re-
garding the policies Of our representatives
must be denominated treason. Is the prin-
ciple that 'error is not dangerous when
reason is left free to combat it." no longer
to prevail?
why should Mr.. Minister Barrett or any
other person. be outraged by the fact that
the speech of Senator Hoar, or any other
statesman who believes that the policy of
the administration is dangerous to our
welfare, should be communicated to the
Filipinos? Is there anything to be
ashamed of in the principles of the Dec
Iaration of Independence? Why should
not the Filipinos know that there are still
Americans of influence who believe in the
principle of home rule, the right of self
government? Was the great William Pitt,
earl Of Chatham, a traitor because he had
the courage to speak in defense of the
American cause in the halls of parlia-
ment?
There is something grand in the posi-
ton that Senator Hoar occupies before the
world today. His age and his opportuni-
ties preclude the possibility of the charge
of demagogy. Unmoved by the abuse
feaped upon him and without fear, or
favor, or hope of reward, he stands like
a rock defending the basic principles Of
free government. His utterances stand
out in bold relief against the fervid and
foolish utterances of Beverage that we
are Gods chosen people" to redeem the
world from barbarism; which remind one
of the crusaders, or of Mahomet COM
manding his followers, on Gods order, to
slay all Christians.

DEPOT LOCATIONS.


Seattle, Jan. IL, 1900
To the Editor: see that several per-
sons have expressed their opinions in re-
gard to the location of the Northern Pa
cific railroad depot through the Post-In-
telligencer. I would say to accommodate
the people it should be near where the
most of the car lines have their terminals.
That would be south of Yesler way and
north of jackson street. But IL railroad
tracks could be crowded nearer to First
avenue, north of Madison street, and
place depot between Madison and Pike
on First avenue. then vacate some and
put a viaduct over the railroad tracks to
the water front on such as are necessary
to be open and carry railway tracks under
the depot. w. S. HUBBELL.

all right. and. according to the rules Of
the order. all that remains for the gang
to do Ii to get in ana drill. 1t is not
for prIvates to discuss principles and
men: they are expected TO obey orders
and refrain from comments.
Mr.. Bryan Is to have full license to
crate on what and as long as he pleases.
The choice OF topics Ia to be left to his
discretion or indiscretion. He is not to
be even cautioned against resurrecting
the free silver corpse. although a slight
hint may be dropped that there are
other issues with which 1t would be
easier to "joily up the boys. He is to
have a free field and for every pinch
OF snuff he takes the tribe promises a
hearty sneeze.
All OF these preparations will afford
little comfort for the old-line Democrat
who has had the idea that his party
had some principles and now sees 1t
drifting away to the support of the mad
man Of the West and the vicious no.
tons set forth in the Chicago platform.

hopes that there was to be relief from
this Nebraska mania and positive re-
generation within party lines those
hopes must be fading. fading. 1t must
be notifying to the. sturdier sons Of

the cross Of Bryan must be borne for
another season: that in their name the
untempered assaults upon national
honor and the flag are to be continued:
that disrespect for the government.

preached; and that the ideal Of state
manship according to modern Demo-
cratic ideas is again to be represented
in the itinerant breeder of discomfort
who for four years has been tramping
up and down the country talking dis
honest policies and belittling his coun-
try and its people.
