on account Of the Central Traffic assOcid-

that pursuit by reason of the condition Of

There can be no doubt, at least &C tho
situation IS viewed from outside If tho

Mayor Ames has certainly entitled him

faithful Republican executive. His ad-
mihistration has been characterized bv

Republican local administrations in the
community, for instance He has baen
just to his party associates in bis a..
tIibution of the patronage of his Office
ana he has had the support Of those marty,
associates in his efforts to bring up the
administration of local affairs to the
standards of official uprightness which
we are all familiar with on the part of
Republican local executives who set them
selves to show clearly the results wbicl,
follow on Republican methods Of reform.
Mayor Ames points out with that
1houghtfulness and that intimate lnowl-
edge Of the philosophy of public admins
tration which his long experience in polfti-
cal life enables him to exhibit, that during
his administration business has always
been good, labor has found steady en-

A MASTERFUL CHARACTER.

The late Cecil Rhodes was one of the
He was one of the very first to realize the
great possibilities of empire building in
South Africa. A natural leader of men,
he forged his way to the front by merit.
His Intellectual endowment was as great
as his physical energy, and both were
ceaselessly employed in the work of de-
veloping South Africa In this develop
ment Of a wilderness he made a fortune
for himself and fortunes for thousands of
others. In addition to making fortunes for
others, he made homes and prosperity for
a nation of people.
In his career he made enemies, as every
man does who accomplshes wonders
And among his enemies were many who
had prcfited greatly through his work.
They tried to mangle the hand that fed
them.
Rhodes was consistent. He had a def
mite object to acccn pIish He had studied
it over thoroughly before beginning the
work. and he decided that no price was
too great to pay for its accomplishment
If war came in the course of the execu-
ton of his plan, let it come 1t was a
circumstance to be depIored, but TO be
endured if the worst came.
War came, and it has been a disastrous
and bloody war. But the purpose of the
war is relentless ana doubtless it will
be waged to a bloodier conclusion, IN
less the present peace negotiations result
in the acceptance by the Beers of such
terms as the English may offer.
The triumph of right is a beautiful
theory; the triumph of might is a more
frequent condition. Rhodes was the in
carnation of all qualities the Beers hate.
They will pray for mercy on his soul
and at the same time rejoice that he is
dead.
Great movements in nature and among
men demand sacrifices. Since the first
nations went to ewar with one another
there has been an urceasing stream Of
human blood; it will be so until the end
CT time. Rhodes caused this stream to
become raging river. Whether he will
be justified by history is not for a con-
temporary to say; whether he will be
justified before the bar of final Judgment
is not for man to say.

PRAISE FOR WASHINGTON
STEPHEN e. BARRON GLOWINCLY
DESCRIBES STATES RESOURCES.

Stephen E. Barron, a mining nan Of
pro nnence in Washington, was at the
Merchants yesterday on his way back
fron a visit in Vermont of which he is a
native. Mr.. Barron is enthusiastic con
corning the prospects Of the Pacific
coats state and thinks there is no place
like it in the world for labor and capt.
tai. He likewise predicts that When once
the mining properties are thoroughly
worked, it will prove to contain tie
richest mineral deposits in tho World
In speaking to a G l o b representa-
tive yesterday Mr. Barron said:
The state of Washington mas in the
last three years produced more zeal
wealth per capita of population than any
other state. Her forests Of balsam. fir
pine tamarack and cedar are well-nigh
incXhaustible, and her products n this
line are now shipped as far East as
Michigan. Her fisheries produced in the
worth in canned salmon alone
The road for American products TO the
Orient lies through our state and the
fine harbors of Seattle and Tacoma af-
ford the best facilities for shipping. In
agriculture no state in the country can
make a better showing per acre under
cultivation In the wheat belt known as
the Big Bend there are 1900
square miles of territory which last sea-
son produced an average of sixty bushels
of the finest wheat per acre. much of
the lands in the lower attitudes reaching
as high as seventy bushels. In fruits
every variety grown anywhere in the
United States, excepting tropical fruits
alone, is raised in abundance. The flavor
size and yield cannot be surpassed any
where, and equaled in but few Ioca-
items. Fruit grows in abundance and
there is not a state in the country which
could afford better than Washington to
wall Itself in and stand alone. But the
greatest wealth of Washington is to be
found in her wonderful mineral resources.
Gold, silver lead, zinc, coal and iron
are found in great quantities, while her
copper mines viii astOnish the world

Ames will probably be renominated. 1t
would be the BLACKLIST kind of party in
gratitude if he were not But he will be;
he has the organization, and his oppo-
nents within the party can howl to their
hearts content. The result so far as
outsiders can judge, is already deter
mined. The Republican electors, intent
on maintaining the progress in municipal
reform which has been realized under
Mayor Ames, will declare by their votes
at the primary ir the words of the scrip
lures: "Wel dcne, thou good and faith
full servant"
Democrats will rejoice at Mayor Ames'
success at the forthcoming primaries 1t
must be confessed that they do not appre-
ciate reform as it has been practiced for
fifteen months by the good doctor. Re
form, even as practiced by Mayor Ames,
is not always appreciated by others as
highly as it is by those who practice it.
So there is possibility that our political
brethren may convince the Minneapolis
electorate that they have had, if not too
much, at least quite enough, of the COM
modify to last them for a few years after
Mayor Ames- coming retirement from the
cares Of office.
