THE MANY.WIvED SULTAN SEEMS
TO FEEL HIS OATs."-The Sultan of
Bacalod seems entirely oblivious OF
the fact that he is biting off more than
he can chew in deiying our Uncle
Samuel. He calls our soldiers in the
Philippines "Swine who eat swine"
and poses as Bombastes Furioso, with
chip on his shoulder. His latest
pronunciamento is, 1--WE want war If
you do not get out Of here and 60 back
to the sea, for neither the Sultan of
Bacalod or the Panadungan, wants to
be your friend" Now see our Uncle
take these bigamous rascals by the
nape OF the neck and make their
heels beat TATTOO as they perform q
pin.wheel revolution.

MEETING DEATH BRAvELY.-It is in
no spirit of levity that we note as a
sinile the supposed to be fabulous
song of the dying swan, in connection
with late occurrences which show that
the human family can on occasion
rise superior to the terrors Of death.
1t is only a few weeks ago that we
noted an instance of heroism in meet
ing death OF John Durham who was
suffocated in a quagmire, Nov. 3Oth,
on Hoboken Meadows, New York,
singing Dear Old Ireland" Another
instance comes from London, Ontario,
Dec. 9th, when thirty persons were
killed and as many more wounded by
a railroad collision on the Pacific Elk.
press OF the Grand Trunk line. For
three hours the living passengers were
imprisoned in the wrecked cars, along
with the dead and dying, when flames
broke out and slowly consumed the
wreckage. Then came the heroic ex.
hibition OF faith in immortality. While
men and women lay dying, held pris.
oners in the debris, their groans were
drowned by the singing Of NEARER,
My God, to Thee" and Jesus, Lover
OF Ny Soul" by some OF the doomed
women, who realized that death was
very near. 1t is we'll to live so that
Death may be met in this manner.

OLYMPIA HARBoR AS A FRESH
WATER BAsIN.-A Tacoma engineer
has made the discovery that one OF
the best fresh water basins for ship.
ping in the world, may be obtained by
simply dyking ED Inlet, at or near
Priests Point, and retaining the
flow from the Deschutes in the wide
expanse Of tide flats extending from
the falls to the narrow passageway a
few miles below Olympia. This will
be less undertaking than the Lake
Washington canal scheme and nc
locks will be necessary, for entrance
can be made at high tide, which
would involve a delay OF only few
hours at any time. The area would
accommodate the shipping of the
world. The remarkable circumstance
connected with the suggestion is, how
ever, that it is project suggested by
the STANDARD over quarter century
ago, in which about all the points o.
the alleged modern discovery are giver

LIBERTY's TORCH WILL Nor BE Elk.
TINGUIsHED.-A proposition to turn
Bartholdi's statue of Liberty En-.
tightening the World" on Bedlow
Island, New York harbor, over to the
general government, has been received
by Secretary Root, from the commits
sion in charge of the statue. The
statue is colossal figure of a woman
holding aloft torch, and the trouble
has been, even in this land OF Liberty,
to keep the torch burning, although it
served time as harbor-light. For
a while the Treasury Department en-
braced it in the lighthouse service,
but red-tape finally extinguished the
torch. Then it was maintained by
the Quartermaster Generals Depart
ment. for sentimental and patriotic
reasons. This is unsatisfactory from
the fact that it is q voluntary service
that may lapse at any time. So it
has been suggested that the statue be
transferred to the u. s. Government,
and Mr.. Root is requested to secure
the necessary legislation from Con.
gresss for that object. When the
transfer is made, the Commission will
turn over $4,000 to the U. s. Treas
ury, 4 fund provided for maintenance
of the statue as work of art and aid
to navigation. 1t is said that the
Secretary has promised to give the
matter his early attention.

ARBITRARY ACT OF THE POSTAL
DEPARTNENT.-The Indianola post
Office troubles continue. 1t seems
that there was considerable objection
to the negro postmistress, Minnie Cox,
appointed by the Rooseveltian admin
inistration, and protests came in
thick and fast. Roosevelt, in accord
with his avowed policy of forcing
negro equality upon the South, or
dered the postal authorities to dis.
continue the office at Indianola. This
high-handed outrage has by no means
subdued the feeling against the post
mistress, who, with more common
sense than her advocates, says that
she will not accept the Office again
under any circumstances. The citi-
zens of Indianola now have their
mail delivered at Heathman, and en-
ploy their own carrier and maintain n
private postoffice to deliver their let
tiers and papers. If there is any
branch OF the public service that has
always been considered as subject to
the will OF the people it has been the
postal management, in which the
local officers occupy almost conf
Dental relation with the public. The
resolute President will only accomp-
lish result that should have been
avoided, the solidifying of political
sentiment OF the South, by such &C.
ton, without attracting any great
support from negroes white and
black-in the north to advance his
personal ambition for the Presidential
succession.

LET Us HAVE ANOTHER MEECER En-
rEDITIoN.--A Girls Matrimonial Club
has been formed in Troy, New York,
on information afforded by letter of a
Tacoma man that great demand for
wives existed out West. The girls
forming the trust are capable for pio-
neers' wives, being employed in col
lar factory and enured to toll. The
club has over 40 members, and the
number is constantly increasing. The
idea of thus supplying this demand is
by no means new, or Impractical, as
the Mercer importation of 300 Boston
maidens forty years ago, by the good
ship Continental, amply demonstrated.
The girls came ostensibly to teach
school or do Homework in families,
but they very generally taught sim
gle over-grown pupil, or cared for
hcmes OF their own. While the writer
was In Boston In 1884, the Mercer en-
terprise became the subject OF CONVEX
sation in restaurant after the meal
hour, and the two.score or more OF
mattresses, gathered around the belat.
ed diners at the principal table and
listened with intense interest to the
discussion. One of the party, noting
the fact, said, "Girls, how many OF
you would like to 60 to Washington
Territory and grow up with the coun.
try" when a unanimous chorus re-
sponded, "Pll CO." If there was a
single disappointed member of the
Mercer expedition, we never heard OF
it, but we do know of many happy
homes that sprang up from that gen.
tleman's noble business philanthropy.

a SCRAMBLE OF ADVERTISERS
Local Merchants Want Space on the
Tower.

The statement that the wa'ey tower
really was about to be farmed ont By
council for billboard aud fence adver-
Using caused scramble for ''space',
yesterday among people here, who
think they ought to be given a show
ing with outsiders.
And the chances are that the tower
will prove gold mine.
In fact, 1t is estimated tLat few
signs of space to let painted on the
tank will bring in sufficient funds to
keep the fire plugs ''greased" until the
crack of doom.
1t is indeed brilliant idea, and if
worked for all it is worth may
eventually Fay off the city's bonded
Indebtedness and shack hire for de-
cade. In fact, not even the aldermen
favoring this farming out process full
ly realize the grand bonanza.
It will be worth millions in a life
time if properly worked.
Many local dealers said yesterday
that they would pay a great deal more
for .'tower space" than has yet been of
fered, and home people should surely
be given preference.
But if it is to be turned over to pat
ent nostrum ads, let's confer with the
big concerns up north, and get sealed
bids on "space." The 81. J. j." COM
