 Again the alarm has sounded at the outer door, and d summons from the Grand Master of the Universe has removed from our mystic circle our beloved Brother.
 He will long he heldin fond remember ance by his brethren of our order for his fine social qualities, his genial disposition his wise counsel and good advice upon questions associated with our order, and also foEhis advocacy, at all times, of gen erous and Masonic application of the tenets of our institution.
 He was faithful in his life to the prin- ciples inculcated by Free Masonary. The lamp of brotherly love burned brightly in his heart His actions squared by the eternal rule of equity and just proportions, and his designs measured by that rate which the Supreme Grand Master has made known to us all
 THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED: That we place his name, with so many others, on our long roll of loved and honored dead. We fondly cherish his memory because by the lives of such as his the good reputation of our fraternity is enhanced and this world in which we live is brighter, sweeter and better because they have lived in it; and be it 1. FURTHER RESOLVED: That these reso- lutions be entered on the records of this Lodge, and copy be transmitted to the family of our deceased Brother.
 Respectfully submitted.

| nwiSe Pardon

The pardon OF White, the Sailors
Boarding House man, 10y Gov.
Chamberlain Is everywhere looked
upon as a terrible mistake. The
governor does not often hlunder,
but this act OF his is the mos, un-
parlonahlc one in his whole career.
Jus, why the notorious rascal
should be allowed to go free to
prowl again on society, is a ques-
ton that cannot he answered 1t
is true that Judge Fraser wrote the
governor sympathetic kind ot
letter, but even he did not recon-
mend a pardon, But ten of the
trial jurors petltioned the governor
Ia pardon this notorious outlaw,
aud that is the very reason why
the governor should have refused
TO pardon White, Why did these
ten sworn men vote To convict him
II he didn't deserve the peualty of
the law Until Gov. Chamberlain
learns TO iguore the petitions for the
pardoning OF criminals when signed
by any number OF the trial jurors,
he will be open to the charge of
mjudicious leniency, Men who
act upon a jury and vote to find a
person guilty of a criminal offence
and atterward ask a governor to
pardon him are either towards or
peuurers and probably both. BY
the act of signing a petition asking
the executive 10 do what they did
not do they show that they perjured f.
themselves by their verdict, aud no
sensible man should attach the /
smallest Importance to anything /
they would sign, The very act /
stamps them as fools, towards or
perJurerS-perhaps all three.

Let's PLAY Fair.

The present city council was
elected to protect the city's interests
along every line.
The present public dock is not
large enough for the city's needs
and each succeeding year will find
the dock more aud more ovcrtaxed.
The Marine Iron people desire
the city To give it-abSolutcly as u
free giit-siNty feet of water front
Whether il is to he used for some
industry or held for speculative
purposes no one can forctcll.
There is "A bare possibility that
the present public dock over-rcaches
itself that by some blunder in the
driving of piles the dock is over
the line OF the Marine property
some ten or twelve feet For argu-
mcnt allow this ~ true.
II the council desires to bc fair
with all concerned II might make
this proposition:
Let the Marine company rclin-
quish q strip IS feet alongside the
dock to the city, and put il Ia legal
shape and in writing,
Let the Marine company then
allow the city Ia extend It's dock
down the river some 90 feet in
front ot lots I and 2-in addition
Ia the IS feet relinquishcd-and
put It in legal form and IN writing,
This would give the city a pub
lie dock at least I2S feet long on
the water lront-and the increase
could IN no wise inllict injury upon
anyone.
Then let the city vacate Ia the
Marine Co, the foot OF Charleston
street-and put Il in writing
This would be a fair deal all
round, All would be benefited
none would be injured
And the Marine company would
stand in a mighty sight better light
with every fair-minded citizen.

WEST ST. JOHNS LAND co.
Richard Shepard & Co. and IL Aemhss
In Disgraceiul Shape.

There is a crying, even howl
ing, need of the improvement OF
Tacoma street from Jersey to Hayes
street, For the past two years the
place has been a disgrace as II lies
where every visitor must, perforce,
see il from the car before he dis
mounts.
Some OF the property owners
along the two blocks are kicking
very hard over the condition of the
street, aud are making frantic eff
forts to have conditions bettered,
Just now there are pools of stag
nant water covering some 1000
square feet, and only the Lord
knows how deep, in the street,
These are floating with green scum
and are SO vile and uuattractive
that self-respeeting hog would
break the get away record in seek
ing his annual bath elsewhere.
Something should be done-must
be done-at once To benefit the
property along these two blocks,
The accruing benefits by improving
this street through to Hayes would
be by 200 per cent greater than the
cost. As both lvanhoe and Hayes
streets are at grade there need Se
no surveys taken, provided all
owners will enter the deal
and subscribe TO the agreement,
Get busy, gentlemen; get busy,
