EHII. 28. AN I'NFORTUNATE ILLUSTRATION. One of the Democratic spell-binders who electrified the meeting on Wednesday de scribed how Samuel J. Tilden overthrew Tammany hall, and dubbed Mr. Kona'.d as tlie local Tilden for the hour. The comparison of Mr. Ronald to Tilden is not happy. Tilden was not a reformer, except when he wanted to get rid of a political combination that interfered with his own personal advancement. So far from being a reformer was Tilden that, m when Hoffman was elected governor by the issue 0f 30,000 fraudulent naturaliza tion tickets by the corrupt Tammany judiciary, Tilden was the engineer of that corrupt campaign, was chairman of the state committee and was personally charged with responsibility for its in famies by Horace Greeley in the New York Tribune. Tilden was not "a reformer'' in the Tweed ring defeat, for he never assailed the ring until it had been fully exposed by the New York Times, disrupted, convicted, and was on the way to execution. Tilden, when Tweed was caught wifti his hanii in the city's pocket, simply joined in the hue and cry that followed Tammany's Might to escape arrest. Tilden was a keen judge of both time and place when he wanted to pose as a reformer. When Tweed was , already wrecked beyond restoration then Tilden hastened to make capital for himself as a reformer. The credit ho won by thus catching the reform tide at its flood was not due to the fact that he was a reformer, but that he was an excellent judge of time and place to shout reform. The work of municipal reform was dono 5n 1871-" by the anti-ring people of both parties. Tilden "caught, on" in tine to got credit for this; he was shrewd '.nough to ride a rising wave of reform and malio tho most of it Iwfore it began to recede. TflE PROPOSED BOSH ISBIE. The proposal to issue bomls is not a party question. It is a wise ami economic measure based upon the very soundest principles of municipal government. So much misapprehension exists as to the rea sons for and the purposes of the proposed issue that it may be well, notwithstanding the frequent public discussion of the sub ject, to review once more the cause of (he past indebtedness and the objects to which the new indebtedness is to be applied. It may bo premised that the wild state ments as to the city's extravagance during the past year are absolutely false. The warrants issued for the year beginning June 1, 1800, and ending May 31, amounted to $<>41,897. There was a break, owing to the chango of the liscal year from June to January, hut, taking the last com plete twelve months, the entire cost of the running of the government waa only about $437,000, and if the pooplo had been taxed at the rate of 10 mills this year, the current expenses would not only have been paid but there would have been n surplus in the treasury, so far as last year's accounts are concerned. The rea son of the deficit is that the taxes as col lected were applied, in accordance with law, to the redemption of warrants issued In ISSO and 1890. The proposed issue of bonds is intended, (irst, to take up all these old warrants, and second, to put money in the treasury •o as to ovoid hereafter the issue of war rants and to insure payment in cash. The following shows to what purposes the proceeds of bonds for the old indebt noss arc to be applied: Warrants on the road fund from Oct . ber 4.1W0. to October 11, IKM Il> Warrants on the street fund from No voinbsr 1, 1599, to February 'JI, 1 -'M 1. ."- •. t Warrants on tl.o Are ""id from August "7 mho, to October 11, 1 W0.... .1.219 .a Warranto on the firo fund from No ▼emhsr t.

That is all the diil'erence there can be between acceptance and rejection. THE IMPRKSSIVE PERSOSAIITV. George William Curtis supported Cleve land for reuomination as "by far the most impressive personality in the Democratic party." This "impressive I>eniocratic per sonality" would seem to be vanishing like a mist before the rising sun of David B. Hill's victory in New York state. Cleve land has been formally abandoned by Mills, Vest and Watterson, and now an other old time admirer of Cleveland, Springer of lllin lis, has abandoned all hope of his nomination. Outside of the New York and New England Mugwumps "the impressive personality" is rapidly losing its power to "impress." A great politics! party would be in bad straits if Grover Cleveland was "by far its most impressive personality," for Mr. Cleveland's "impressiveness" is rather more apparent when you place him upon a platform scales than when you weigh him in a mental balance. "Impressive per sonality" is an ambiguous expression. Kaistnff', Ananias, Alva, Guy Kawkes, Heliogabalus and Washington were all "impressive personalities," but for very different reasons. A man may be im pressive for obesity, mendacity, voracity, or for moral dignity, austerity and veracity. Before Cleveland became governor of New York iie was nothing but a coarse grained manipulator of Democratic ward politics in Bullalo; a heavy feeder, a most valiant and enduring trencherman, washing down his daily barbecue with an Amazonian tlood of beer. Ho was a local statesman of such marked intellectual apathy and physical inertia in the green and salad days of bachelorhood that he became known to fame as tho "Sitting Bull" of the saloon and the Daniel Lambert of the whist table. When he was made governor of New York he had grown so absolutely fat-witted with drinking of old sack and unbuttoning him after supper and sleep ing on benches after noon that "the Fat Boy'' in Pickwick was his peer in mental spriglitliness and bis superior in affability of manners and temper. The official drudgery of his office roused him from his trance: he lived more cleanly and grew more aiert in body and mind. The drudgery of the presidential office and his vain expectation of rc-election served to keep him comparatively agile and ani mated until his defeat, when he returned, like a sulky, sleepy Saxon, tired of war and tho chase, to the indolence and ani malism of private life. Since his defeat in November, 1888, Cleveland has done nothing but pose as an involuntary exile from the White House; he has taken off his hat to a great many people; he has written a great many magniloquent letters in response to Dem ocratic gatherings, large aad small; he has delivered a number of oracular, plati tudinous speeches. The great "reform war" in the Democratic party is over with the discarding of Cleveland. He came up to hattle with screaming fife and thunder ing drum, and today the Mugwump string bands are playing dirges for their dead soldier. The voice of the "political reform" pelican is hushed and his insa tiate bill must fish in other than Mug wump wafers for food, for they do not afford enough to sustain life. Cleveland's soldiership and generalship arc no longer a matter of uncertainty. If Cleveland had from the day of his inaug uration in 1885 correctly measured him self as apolitical accident and taken coun sel generally with the legitimate leaders of his party, like Thurman, Hendricks and Randall, he quite possibly might have been re-elected in 1888, but acted as if he was an intellectual autocrat with the pow ers of an autocrat. His messages were written in the dogmatic tone of a Russian ukase; he behaved in Office consistent with his past record as an uncured, incurable copperhead; a relentless Bourbon, who had neither learned anything nor forgotten anything since the tocsin of < i rant's guns at Appomattox tolled the last alarm of the great war for the Union. His egotism, his obstinacy, his contempt for patriotic pub lic opinion, his stolidity, his contempt for the opinions and advice of the ablest and highest-toned men of his party while president were all the incidental marks of a narrow and purely provincial life and experience. Before a happy accident made him the compromise candidate of a discordant Democracy for the governor ship of New York, Cleveland, at !."» years Of age, was rated as nothing more than a healthy, athletic, phlegmatic, mediocre man; a common-place office lawyer, some what notorious as a cold-blooded, selfish creature, who preferred the animal pleas ures of this world unmixed b. any associ ation with the moral responsibilities and anxieties of domestic life. Beyond a considerable capacity for ox like drudgery that is common to all in dustrious office lawyers, and the limited political astuteness acquired as a ward politician in Buffalo, Mr. Cleveland does not seem to have ;vny ability in particular to justify his further impressment into public service, lie is not a scholar, not a diplomatist; not a jurist, not an orator; not a relined gentleman; he is without the business knowledge and versatile aptitude that makes an able man of affairs; he is a commonplace, cheap, utterly uninterest ing person in the estimation of the Ameri can people, and it is this measure of him, quite as much as the sjiecitic blunders of his administration, that is at the bottom of the steadily growing disgust i >r him in the Democratic party of New York which is expressed by his easy and complete rout by David li. Hill. "You make me tired,'' fairly expresses the feel ing of the Mahvait Democracy of New York for t levelaiid. His future is a curious question. The New England Mugwumps that lie will vet be nominated by "the people'' at the Democratic national convention; tlio man has no sincere friends or admirers west of She Hudson, unless we except Senator Yilas, of Wisconsin. lie cannot got *.O . ngrc?s from New York city, tor Tammuny despises him most cordially, ..nd even if elected to congress he would not sustain himself; he has not the intellect or equipment of a debater. Scut to either house of congress Cleveland would be a mere dummy alongside of such able ex temporaneous talkers as Sherman, Haw ley. Hoar, Reed, Lodge, Henderson and Burrows. His political career may be re garded as finally dosed. At tifty-tive years of age he is not rated as more than a respectable lawyer; his future is uot bright; he is no longer the rose of ei ve.taney in the fair Democratic state. Ex- Prcsident Hayes lias pre-empted tha do main o; phiiaathrc-iy paltry, but THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 26, 1802. Cleveland might buy a tarin on Long Island and occupy himself with truck farming and angling for sea bass. A Southern congressman, after hearing lien liutler declaim against personal and political corruption, said: "Those nre your sentiments, Mr. Butler?" "They are." "Then let us pray." When the Demo cratic reformer cries out ajjainst the spoils system, pleads for higher tone in American politics and closes by pointing out Grover Cleveland to the American youth "as by far the most impressive personality in his party,'" we (eel as if the party needed the intercession of prayer in its behalf. Commenting upon the action of the hoard of aldermen in granting the fran chise asked by the Northern Pacific in yesterday's I'ost-Intelllgescee, it was inadvertently stated that those who op posed it were Aldermen Pontius, Ingra ham and Snyder. It should have been Pontius, Ingrabam and Sweeney, A pessimistic writer on Russia saya: "One of the most remarkable arraignments of the Rus sian government ever permitted is that, pub lished last week in a leading St. Petersburg journal. It pointed out the fact that the gov ernment had pra' ticallj* nullified the good work of Alexander 11., aud had brought the country to bankruptcy an'l the verge of ruin. It cited instances of serious disaffection in even the most loyal provinces, and predicted a civil war of great magnitude. The proposition to again reduce the mujito to serfdom, in order that they might share the harvests of the large landed proprietors, has roused the most intense feeling throughout the length aud breadth of the empire. Coupled with the gov ernment's indifference and apparent lack of In clination to assist the suffering districts, this proposition to restore serfdom is regarded as the end at which thecsar has all along aimed, and nihilism has revived everywhere In the large cities of Russia iu its most dangerous form. Tho prisons are full of suspects, and the roads to Siberia crowded with the condemned. Altogether there is almost a reign of terror throughout the country." The Canadian government has just published the totals of imports and exports for 1891. Com pared with 1899 the total of tho trade for 1891 shows a decrease of $222,436; as compared with 1882 it shows a loss of 111,954.892. Compared with the totals for 1871 the gain in twenty years is but half a million dollars, but in proportion to population this trade was greater in IS7I than in 1891. At this time, however, two things have been increasing in Canada, the pub lic debt and taxes, and thoughtful Cadadians are asking how are they to bo paid, with a low rate of increase in population and a lower rate of increase in trade? Rumor recently had it that William T. Wal ters, of Baltimore, was to offer his art collec tion to the city, on condition that an edifice costing SIOO,OOO should he erected to receive it; and another story was current in the Monument City to the effect that if Baltimore did not avail herself of this chance the collection would go to >ew York. Mr. Walters pronounces tho stories preposterous. Thomas Smith, a millionaire lund owner of Detroit, kept a dairy most of his life and laid up wealth, lie was already three score aud ten when he decided to marry again. His bride, who is a little over a fourth of his age, now lives in a luxurious separate establishment, while the nonagenarian Is a paralytic and lives at the old dairy. Professor William I- Knapp, of Vale, who Is soon to take the chair of romauce, languages and literature in the University of Chicago, is master of eighteen languages, including Ice landic, Swedish, Welsh, Spanish, Arabic, He brew, Russian. Portuguese and Bohemian. The only chikl ol the late Crown I'rince Ru dolph ol Austria, the Archduchess Elizabeth, now 9 years old, is particularly fond of horses, in which her father also took great delight. If sho lives she will some day reign as queen of Hungary, but not as empress of Austria. At the time of his death the late Sir Morell Mackenzie hud just completed a series of arti cles showing people how to livelong. Sir Morell was in the early fifties. He was also the most noted specialist in the world in throat diseases, yet he died of bronchitis. IN THE FIRELIGHT* £he tire upon the hearth is low.

To THE EDITOR: There should be a more pro nounced and general expression in regard to our state flower before the subject is final.v settled. As it stands, no particular sound has been made, aud if some universal preference were widely expressed, it would render the com mittee who have the final choice to cast better able to decide with more intelligence and jus tice. One has suggested the white clover as etate flower, but it ftooms alike from the Atlantic to the PaciUc, and has no peculiar rights here. Another has mentioned the dogwood Its flower is beautiful, its name ugly: the latter alone is against it Another has mentioned a flower that thrives iu hothouses. Washington must have the wide field's blossom. The writer's preference is for the rhododen dron, aud herewith its claims are presented, and may it be the "winning candidate." First—lt grows in natural and wide profusion in our own state. j Second—lts flower is beautiful and its growth j nio*>t graceful, rendering its blooming in the , tender green of the spring a wilderness of har monious coloring, its delicacy of color and ; trracefuluess of growth fit it beautifully for bc'Jj olore-i an I black illustration. Third aid last—lts leaf is evergreen, and al most thi?- alone should decide its preferance. since the state of Washington is now universally know u and uccepted as tfco Evergreen state, and what fl >wer could be more apropos than one whose leaf is evergreen? To conclude, the wild and natural profusion of the rhododendron, its great beauty and its evergreen le.if, render it pre-eminently the state flower.

Hop Culture In British Columbia. Victoria Colonist, Feb. 19. On the City of Kingston yesterday there ar rived trom the Sound Mr. T. Thrale .Sich, for merly of Vancouver, but who now registers as from Agassiz, B. C., where he has just con cluded arrangements to start hop growing on an extensive scale. The capabilities of the valley for hop growing are already well known, and it is no experiment Mr. Sich is about to try. He has been for years engaged in the business of handling hops, knows exactly what he is doing, and aiter looking at all phases of the plan is fully persuaded that there is some money to be made out of it. Mr. Sich has just returned from a visit to Puyallup, the center of the great hop growing industry of Washington state, where he went to examine the uppliances used there for dying and curing. While there he procured plans for a treble dryer, which he proposes putting up at Agassiz, and this he believes will have a capacity for curing the product of 100 acres. At Agassis Mr. Sich has secured 100 acres of land, some of it directly adjoining the Dominion governmen experimental farm. The laud is the very thing required for the purpose, aud there is first-class shelter all round from the mountains which surround the valley. In April (about the sec ond week) the first batch of hoo plants will be set out, and these, it is expected, will give a fair yield this year. The idea Mr. Sich has in view is to grow only lirst-C:a*s varieties, and ne is convinced he can produce an article that will bring a good price in the English markets. The cost of raising, curing, baling, etc., making full allowance for all expenses, including lat or, etc., is estimated at about 9 cents per pound for the season's growth, and, as a price of from 25 to 35 cents per pound can be had for a first-class arti cle iu the British markets, a very good return is immediately promised. ✓Tv Help yourself if you re a suffer | \\Jf A ing woman, with Iffll / the medicine ■P'tif that's been pre " "yCVWgisSI pared especially "1 n vVy' J to help you —Dr. 11l Qt Y , Pierce's Favorite 1 I I f\ W Prescription.
