Smoothness," says the New York In
dependent, sis the leading characteristic
Of the rev republican platform" The
Independent, which has been a staunch
defender Of every radical departure from
American ideals and traditions taken by
the republican party, and most suppliant
in its genuhectons at the feet OF the
golden calf, makes an unexpected &C.
acknowledgement when.it says "smooth-
ness is the leading characteristic OF the
new republican PLATFORM" According
to accepted definition, Smooth" means
sleek, cute, plausible, deceptive, az ga
smooth scheme" ga smooth confidence
game" "a smooth trick" We often
hear Of the "smooth prevaricator, or
the smooth confidence man." But we
hardly expected the New York 1nde-
pendent to admit edtorially that the re-
publican platform was to be classed in
that category. Has a new light dawned
j. the Independent sanctum?

THE FIRE LIMITS
Are Altogether Too Large
For a City the Size of
Aberdeen.

EDITOR HERALD:
I desire to express my approval of the
pc ;ition taken exclusively by the HERALD
on the subject Of fire limits, and trust it's
agitation through your columns will
have the effect Of having those limits so
modified that the small tradesmen of
Aberdeen will rot suffer business stran-
gulation, and the growth of our fair city
retarded in the interests of very small
per cent Of our population.
That the majority of people in bust
ness in this city cannot afford TO pay the
rents demanded by brick block owners
is too evident to require repetition. and
to strictly enforce the present law must
drive them out Ct business and. most
likely, out OF the city. A glance over
that part OF the fire limits lying outside
of + and l, Hume and Wishkah streets.
will reveal the fact that four-fifths OF the
lots embraced are vacant, and with the
present law, they will remain vacant for
many years, while if removed from the
limits year or two would see them
covered with substantial frame buildings,
mostly dwellings.
l do not pen this in spirit OF criticism
OF the city council, as l believe MAORI
ty of that body is anxious to do what is
best for the city, but, regard their posi-.
ton as the usual swinging of the pendu-
lum, from the one extreme to the other.
Previous 10 the fires of last year the city
was very lax in these matters. no build
ing regulations whatever being in force.
After the severe experience Of October
last it was but natural for the other ex-
IRENE to be adopted, but, now a suffi-
"ient period OF time has elapsed for the
city authorities to have recovered their
equilibrium, go as to look at actual con.
ditions as they exist, and to legislate for
the best interests of the WHOLE city, not
for the benefit of few at the expense OF
the material interests OF all.
Yours for Greater Aberdeen,
CITIZEN.

STANDING OF THE TEAMS

The Pippins were ratified yesterday
and couldn't play ball little bit. The
team went to Centralia on the early train
accompanied by bunch OF fans, satisfied
that on their return victory would be
comfortably seated upon their banner,
but they came home defeated by reason
of that overconfidence. In fact, they
proved an easy game for the farmer boys
up the river, who managed to cross the
home plate five times while Aberdeen
scored twice.

HOQUIAM-OLYMPIA.

The prettiest game OF ball SO far this
season was that between the Hoquiam
and Olympia teams at Hoquiam, yeste. .
day afternoon and evening. The game
began shortly after o'clock, and at : 80
they had to cease on account OF darkness
coming on, without deciding which was
the better nine. Twelve innings of fine
basss ball were played, and at the end
each had five innings to it's credit, and
the game will have to be played over to
obtain decision.
