The old saying that some people
"rush in where angels lear to tread
is brought wildly to mind by Clown
Cushman who announces with q grand
flourish that he does not intend to
take any part in the State campaign
unless Bryan, Gompers or Lewis invade
what he evidently considers his own
bailiwick. He declares that he is ready
TO tackle either or all those noted cam
paigners, singly or together. Say now,
upon what meat does this, our Cush,
feed that he has developed such mon.
umental gall?

THE Chinese father in law OF U. S.
Admiral Whiting is dead. Along, the
we'll known capitalist, formerly Of
Hawaii, died in China on the 25th ult.
To his white wife were born fifteen
children, two sons and thirteen daugh-
tiers. The latter were regarded as the
most beautiful women on the islands
and one became the vile of Rear Ad.

taxpayers Of King county
have brought an action in the Super.
ior Court at Seattle for the purpose Of
testing the validity of the 100000
Canal bond issue. Thus it would ap.
pear on the surface, but it may be q
mock controversy in which only one
side is to be represented, with the
hope of procuring a favorable judicial
opinion. Amicable suits have en-
barrassed the courts of many OF the
older States. When judges have
learned the true nature OF such suits
they have pretty generally refused to
be bound by the presidents estab-
lished therein. A court might con.
firm the bond issue and subsequently
learn the controversy was not genuine

PANAMA CANAL TO Be BUILT BY
CONTRACT.-President Roosevelt has
been compelled to acknowledge defeat
OF his plans for digging the Panama
Canal under direct governmental d.
rection, and the matter is now being
seriously discussed of submitting the

upon the executive intellect that the
work is too large for management

that il the big ditch is ever built, it

Congress bad already passed an act

its prohibitory value, to open its use for
illumiuant or motive power, or in

produced for twenty cents gallon-.lhe

two dollars gallon-and thus COM

ducer, even with Standard Oil and its
by-products. He would also have
known that any reference to it would
be regarded as dead issue, as the act
already passed provides for its becom-
ing active, 80 far as the abatement of
revenue is concerned, some months

to add such substances to it as to make
it unfit for drinking. In Germany

VOLTA Mr.. Hearst!

Very few Democrats care very much

the stollid, unsympathetic nature of
Mr.. Parker, the last nominee Of the
party for President, for his campaign
showed conclusively that he did not
represent those warmer traits of char
acter 80 essential in leader OF public
opinion. The phenomenal majority
for Mr.. Roosevelt, his competitor,
shows not that the people "Loved
Caesar less, but they loved Rome
MORE" While it amounted to two
and a half millions plurality over
Parker, it was three times that cast
for Mckinley four years before. 1t is
therefore perfectly legitimate to Iepel
the harsh criticisms of the once
speeches. candidate from that ESQ
plan town on the Hudson, with al.
most any kind of invective.
1t is no wonder that the Republican
papers take so much interest in and
manifest SO much sympathy for Mr..
Hearst just now, man they have
so roundly abused in the past. The
fact is, that they are no more now tnan
ever above using any means for causing

Whales and Minnows.

Tacoma has still another bee buzz
ing in her bonnet, besides the capital
removal to Wright's Park. She now
wants 10 be set off into a county by
herself. 1t is claimed that the people
of the other larger cities favor like
action, and will support q bill to be
introduced in the next Legislature ask
ing that cities Of the first-class be al.
lowed to incorporate as counties. 1t
is claimed that they pay from Is to 50
per cent. of the taxes OF the counties
i'll which they are situate, a very small
proportion of which is devoted to main
tensnce OF the cities themselves. The
larger part goes for maintaining roads,
even to the neglect of those leading
directly into the cities. Advocates OF
the project seem to think that the
added expense OF county government
costs very little figure with the amount
to be saved and benefits derived, and
the project, OF course, meets with un.
bounded favor from those who make it
business of keeping their eyes open
to aid in creating fat Offices, and in
casting anchors to the windward"
with the expectation OF being chosen
to fill them.
This opens up the question as to
whether the city can be independent
of the country in which it is situate,
or the country of the city; or rather,
can either act independently Of, or
without the cordial sympathy and
support OF the other? Nothing unites
q people in firmer bond OF Jealous
cooperation than the maintenance OF
common interest; and the converse
is likewise true, that nothing weakens
such effort more than want OF harmony
or a spirit of opposition.
1t has hitherto been pretty generally
conceded that next to the improve
ment of her streets, city can find no
more profitable investment OF her rev.
enue than in opening up and improv-
ing county thoroughiares that consti.
tute the avenues for tributary trade.
If the remote districts are deprived OF
the means for opening up and keeping
in repair these highways for business,
will it not lead to it's diversion to larger
cities farther of, and extending q "a.

ing by" what had hitherto been re.

The project looks just like many
other manifestations of the greed
which seems to be iuseparably con.
nected with modern exploitation OF
wealth. Sel6shness rules, and can
only be held in subordination by q
counterpoise of self.interest, waged in.

New USE FOR THE Muck RAKE
A few days ago, one Socialist met .
comrads on tho streets OF Olympia,
and remarked 10 No. 2 that he had
s1idenly become impressed with the
idea that he mo. y was a philosopher,
% was ehown by bis asserting that
when q gardener who understands his
business wishes to fertilize his ground
in the most satisfactory manner, he
procures the most rotten manure he
can find. So with regard to our com.
mercial system, particularly in the
large combines that are becoming 90
rotten at the core, the debris or offal
will make good fertilization for the
future growth in the social regime.
Thus the strenuous Teddy may have
numerous opportunities of delivering
himself concerning muck.rake prac.
tees. If trust methods did not furn.
ish the muck, the ten.cent magazines,
of which he complains, would have no
occasion to use the rake.
