TOLSTOI TO THE CHAR.
From a Translation of letter to the
 Car.

Dear Brother-I think 1t more fit- ting to call you dear brother" be- cause in this letter I am addressing myself less to the Czar than to the man and brother; and, more than that, I am no longer of this world, but standing at the threshold of the tomb. I do not wish to die without telling you what I think of your present activity-telling you what activity Is, and what 1t ought to be for the greater good of millions Of men and for your own good; and also telling you what a source of evil your conduct may be for these and Tor yourself if your activity continues to follow it's present course. It is evident that you are deluding your self as to the peoples attachment to eutocracy, and to its representative, the CZar, because you In all the cities arc greeted by crowds who cry, Hurrah! and run behind your car riage. Such manifestations are far from being an expression of the peo- ples fidelity. The crowds are noth- ing but inquisitive people who follow all uncommon sights with the same eagerness; and, generally, they whom you take for the peoples mes sengers of affection are nothing but needy wretches mustered by the po- lice to make a show In your honor Harper's Weekly.

Mr.. MARSH WOULD

STATES THE CONDITIONS ATTACHED
willing to Serve the City If COndi-
tons Are Such That He Can Serve
the Whole People.

Never in the existence of North Yak
ina was the city election of more i'm
portance than it will be this year. The
present status of the sewer, the
municipal ownership proposition,
which Councilman Armbruster will not
let rest, the amount of public inn
provements that must be done this
year. the greater amount that is
badly needed and should be planned
for, all combine to make it import
ant. The duty of the citizens to make
the best selection for city officials the
town affords is plainly felt. Now that
the November election is over and the
country safe for at least another two
years. the citizens are turning their
attention to another city election to be
mayor, three councilmen, council
man at large, clerk, a treasurer and
attorney are to be elected. So far as
can be learned there has been but one
name mentioned for the mayoralty
Mr.. Marsh. who has served two terms
as councilman at large, has been men,
toned as a likely candidate. When
approached on the matter by the edi-
tor of the Herald. Mr.. Marsh said:
Yes, l have been asked to be a
candidate for the office of mayor of
North Yakima. There is only one con-
dition under which l would accept the
nomination. and that is that all fac
tional issues are dropped. 1 would not
accept the nomination from the So
called wide open town faction, be-
cause l would be under obligations
and would be expected to advise city
legislation to their interests, regard
less. and possibly to the detrment of
the rest of the city.
Il would not accept the nomination
from the so-called church faction,
because 1 would be expected to ad-
wise city legislation according to their
dictation regardless of the rights of
the other faction.
IF l could not be mayor of North
Yakima for the whole people of North
Yakima I would not have the position
at all. l would accept it only this way
that fractional fighting be put aside
and everybody work for the interest
If North Yakima, and not be under
special obligations to any faction, but
be free to advise city legislation to
the best of my judgment, with justice
to all and the city of North Yakima
in particular"
The few who have discussed Mr..
Marsh's attitude as expressed in the
above statement are highly pleased
with it, 1t is looked upon as the most
sensible and busness-like position
that could he taken Coming from Mr.
Marsh it means much; those who have
followed his work in the city council,
in the capacity of councilman at large,
look upon him as one of the safest,
most progressive and business-like
councilmen who ever served the city.
His policies have had the commenda-

ton of the business men and the stand
he has taken in regard to the matter
of public improvements is endorsed by
them. Party politics will be laid aside
in the coming city election and repub-
licans and democrats alike have been
heard to express a favorable sentiment
towards Mr.. Marsh. lie would un-
doubtedly draw from every political
party represented in the city.
The subject of the councilmen to be
elected this year has not been raised.
AS to the offices of city clerk, treas
urer and attorney, no reason has been
advanced why the incumbents should
not succeed themselves, and they will
probably do so. If they desire to serve
the city again they should certainly be
allowed to do SO. for no better, more
competent men will be found.
