A Memorable Day for Seattle.

The battle.ship Nebraska was sue.
cessfully launched from the Moran
yards, at Seattle, last Friday. The
magnificent ship, as il "eager for the
Fray" slipped off the ways ten minutes
in advance Of the announced time, but
it was owing to a mistake of the work

however, in all other details, and it is
hoped the circumstance will te an
omen of her career, should she unhap.
PLY have to engage in the task of kill
ing off enemies Of our government.
This launch marks an important epoch
in the history OF the Northwest, where
only half a century ago no homemade
craft existed except the Indians cedar
canoe, and the city where the launch
took place was known by the proph-
etic name OF "Alki," which means, in
English By.and-bye." Many noted
people were present. among whom were
the Executive of the State whose name
the ship bears-Gov. John II. Mickey.
accompanied by party OF Nebraskans.
A speech of welcome was made by
Sam. II. Nichols, Acting Governor, to
which q fitting response was made by
Gov. Mickey. a feature of the day
was the presentation of a check for
100000 to the Moran Bros. by the
President of the Chamber OF Com
merce, the subsidy subscribed by the
citizens of Seattle, to enable the con-
tractors to make a bid against close
competition. The christening of the
warship was by Miss Mary Main Mick
ey, of Nebraska.

With Hearts Bowed Down.

The apathy manifested in the East
over attempts OF Republican leaders TO
INSPIRE >Intthin. like enthusiasm in
the present contest, and which is
attributed by ;h,ir leaders to conf
dec and satisfaction, is due to an
alt nEcthcr different state of feeling, a.
may Toe discovered hv close observation
of the occasional straws which show
the direction Of the current Of public
opinion.
\ feeling OF utter Indifference as to
results is manifested at every public
meeting OF the party in power, and
such statesmen presumably as Fair
banks and such orators (acknowl-
edgedly) as Deliver fail to arouse even
the scmhl, nee Of desire for success.
With many, this implies ii condi-
ton of feeling which keeps votes from
the polls with others, a disposition to
try almost anything for a change, and
with still others, it is a latent mani.
festation OF an intent to reek revenge
for some real or fancied slight; but
each and all tending to the same re.
suit, II weakening of the hosts who
have hitherto been taught to Stand
Pat" 10y the master-mind of all party
organizers, whose wonderful power in
controlling the masses was lost to his
party by the hand of death.
This Indifference is particularly
noticeable in Indiana and New York,
and is said to exist everywhere, and,
like the unanimity OF the Chicago
Convention, is claimed to be an
evidence of complete satisfaction with
the Rooseveltian administration and
the nomination OF its chief.
No greater mistake can be made by
that party than to hug that delusion
to its soul. The daze is not due to
any feeling of satisfaction or security,
but to one of awe over the unexpected
happenings OF the past four years. Loss
OF the President by foul murder, death
OF the great organizer and chicftain,
and retiracy from public life and
death OF other leaders of the party,
leaves them UNNECESSARILY without
the support OF spellbnders they had
been so persistently taught to rely
upon for party guidance.
That the leaders have discovered
this condition. is shown by the send
ing of go many Of their prominent
men to the West, where everything is
claimed AS safe for the Republican
nominees. and placing of scores OF
workers in Western Virginia, where
it was claimed that the influence OF
Henry q. Davis amounted practically
to nothing. 1t is shown by the fever.
ish inactivity OF Mr.. Roosevelt while
in leadingstrings. to keep him within
bounds while he is icing brought to a
realization of the possibilities, if not
probabilities, of defeat.
The inactivity is by no means in.
difference to results, but indication of
an undercurrent none the less vigor-
Gus from concealment, and which but
awaits the proper time to manifest its
irresistible power.

The CALM WHICH PRECEDES THE
STORM.-It is indeed wonderful, with
what complacency Republican papers
sum up the results of the National
political contest now on. They pro-
TESS to believe that tho present Demo
cratic leaders, recognizing that defeat
is inevitable, are engaged in task of
swelling the vote so as to equal Bryan's
figures in the last electoral college, or
surpass it, merely to prevent the Ne
braskan from again attaining suprem-
acy il the party. They profess to be.
lieve that the Belmont. Hill. Sheehan
leading will devote all energy towards
securing, not election of Parker, but
to maintain supremacy in the Demo.
cretic organization. How WOODY"
the giant intellects OF Republican
leaders do become under q little ex.
citement! The fact is, conditions are
about as they we're in 1884, when the
nation awakened one fine morning to
find that the Democrats had swept the
whole country by election Of the ex.
ecutive and legislative tickets. Its
thoroughness was q surprise to both
parties, and especially to the defeated,
for up to the very hour Of election
and until the polls had closed, they
made the most arrogant claims for
supremacy. The people are silent.
They say nothing, but are evidently
deeply thinking. 1t is the silence
which has eliminated in resolve; the
calm which precedes the storm, and
we are prepared to state wonders when
the poll of November 9Th is recorded.

80 lar. the auto has not proven "a
hcncfaction TO the poor man. nor a
means of profit To those who keep
them for hire. The fact Is, that aside
from the novelty, which soon wears
off, there is but little to commend the
horselcss wagon aside from the fact
that it is radical departure from all
former methods OF locomotion that are
not confined to rails, and which are of
private ownership and individual util-
ity.
The matter was lately the subject OF
considerable investigation in San Fran
cisco, when the subject Of providing q
maximum charge for hack hire was
under consideration by the Board OF
Supervisors. The rate OF - per hour
was fixed for automobiles, with 81 for
each succeeding hall hour or fraction
This brought forth many protests from
automobile men, and the Pioneer Com
pany figured out the actual cost of
running an ordinary motor-wagon at
$3.IG an hour, and that the company
had lost during the year $4,000 by
their operation. Their representative
declared. likewise, that Winton ma
chine, costing $3.50. would be wofth
half that or less from years use. In
New York, he claimed, $3.50 per hour
is the maximum rate and in Chicago,
81.
Only one firm in San Francisco has
made report OF a profit, and it had
operated ten machines year with a
"clean up" of -, 122, but, be it noted,
without taking into account loss from
wear and tear OF machines, which as
stated above is about one-half the cost
These facts are noted as OF some in
terest here, where an Olds machine,
costing over 81 900 has been subject to
command of the public at S3 per hour,
several weeks, with a very small pa.
tronsge. People think the rate high,
when a span and carriage, or sulky.
can be hired all day for about the cost
of a couple Of hours in the auto. And
then the cost of operating an automo-
bile, with chauffeur to pay, and cogs
to occasionally replace, and benzine to
burn, would much more than overbal-
ance horse hire for the same amount
of service.
Like the bicycle, on its introduction,
or the sewing machine, or any other
novelty of enough general use to make
them popular at once, the cost was so
large as to restrict ownership to the
few opulent riders or users who could
afford to expend from 800 to 5000 for
machines that now cost, in a better
form, from $40 to $40. The time will
come when autos will be within reach
OF the ordinary purchaser. Already
the cost Of serviceable autos has fallen
more than one.half from the original
cost, and a really reliable machine
may be bought at from 1925 to $500,
if its owner is willing to pay for iron
and steel without its nickel.plating,
and that is by no means the limit OF

day.
The chief was walking on Cuff

iron-knobbed stick.
