Let Us Have Peace.

Whether the Olympia hotel could
or could not hove been saved from
destruction in the late fire, involves So
many considerations that it is folly to
discuss it further. Often a very small
thing turns the tide OF battle or fixes
the course OF events. Better appli-
ances for fighting fire and cooler
heads might have saved the building
and they might not have done so.
The question to be considered is, was
everything done that could be done,
under all the circumstances, and we
believe that can be decided in the
affirmative with every assurance Of
being the truth. Human incentive
errs at best, and nobody can reason
ably expect the wisest councils will
prevail or the best efforts be made
under great excitement.
1t is not advisable to go into lasting
lamentation over spilled milk, al
though its loss may involve much
trouble and effort TO meet the emery
cncy, nor is is wise TO listen to personal
opinions of men who are no letter
qualified than the general public for
iorming an opinion OF results that
might have happened, but which did
not happen. Visiting firemen we're
likely to express exaggerated opinions
in the presence OF their brethren here,
just as Foxy Grandpa is in the habit
of stuffing his nephews to exalt his
own importance. So it matters little
what the Chief OF Tacoma or the
First Assistant OF Seattle may have
said about q possible fire in the Olym-
pia hotel, although the late disaster
may have fully corroberated their
opinions. Common sense teaches
that as long as the fire was a smudge
and could be located, and was accessi-
ole, it could be extinguished with
proper appliances, but after it bad
broken from bounds, the burning OF
Aberdeen, OF Seattle, of Baltimore and
OF Chicago, show that very little hu-
man effort can do will stay the raging
flames.
The discussion, therefore, OF posi-
hilities chat we're improbable, At least,
and the censure OF men who had every
incentive for rendering good service, is
unwarranted and seems to be prompted
by some hidden motive rs has been
charged by their defenders.

A FIRM in the produce business at
Wilbur, in this State, have discovered
process whereby eggs may be kept
fresh, any length of time apparently,
as has been demonstrated by a test OF
eight months OF their first 10000 dozen
subjected to that treatment. They
we're found to he as fresh as the newly
laid prodnct. Samples of them were
cooked in all different ways and could
not be detected from those just taken
from the oest, and even when eaten
raw the test WAS the same. 1t is
though. that probably years might

1t seems that George Stevenson, the

for that reason, diminished his prestige

appears as manager Of Chas. Sweeney's

he has already 80 scalps OF legislators

IT Is Nor A PERMANENT GRowTH.-
The Socialists have increased their vote
from 97,73O votes in 1900 to half a
million this year. Every State, ex-
cept Massachusetts and possibly Col.
orado, report an increase. In Illinois
the vote will probably aggregate lO0,-
600 In the Middle West. Ohio, In
diana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota.
Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, and in
Maine, California, Florida, Nevada
and Washington, Socialistic votes
were cast this year by Democrats. as a
protest against their party wandering
after strange gods, while the aggregate
vote shows that many refrained from
voting at all, to emphasize that pro-
test. 1t is time for the autocrats in
the Democratic party to have learned
that they cannot cram their imperial
edicts down the throats of ireemen.
While the rank and file may not-in

endorse the vagaries Of Socialism, they,
in some instances voted the ticket sim.
ply to be counted in opposition to a
party they still more heartily condemn
the party that boosted Of Hanna's
boss leadership and Roosevelt's auto.
cratic rule. Many Populists likewise
voted the Social ticket, on account of
admiration for the individuality Of
Debs more than any support OF the
principles Of his party.
