MR. I.iHH AMI Till: CHUT I.AR.
Mr. Lamb's letter is a complete in
dorsement of the Titus circular and all
it contains. He repeats and reaffirm*
Its charges, and stands ready to stand
or (all by its vicious, extravagant and
unwarranted statement and impudent
and immoderate misrepresentations.
The Pout-Intelligencer cannot refrain
from expressing its regret that Mr.
has assumed this attitude. It is
charitable to suppose that the press-ire
behind him was more than he could
resist, and that repudiation of the cir
cular meant withdrawal of that por
tion of his support which has so of
fensively shoved its.-lf into public
vievr, and has, by making it a cam
paign of abus* and personalities, ap
parently wrecked his prospect of elec
tion.
Mr. Lamb announces that he ha*
satisfied himself of the truth of the
charge* in the circular. But he tikes
grutt pains to make no attempt to
satisfy the public. The Pos'-Intelll
gencer does not feel called upon to de
fend Superintendent Barnard, and it
d.x-s not pretend to know all the causes
and influences leading to the nomina
tion of Mr. Bowden. That a l>ody of
teacher*— principals—urged him to
stand for the directorship may be true
enough; but that It was an improper
and unjustiflabb proceeding for in
stiuctors -citixena who have at heart
the uelfare of the schools—to ask a
gentleman qualified by character, ex
perience and attainments to become a
candidate, Is at least open to dispute
It is shameful that their action and
their avow-d Interest in Mr. Bow dens
success bould subject them to the
severe c u.-ure expressed in the mean
and audacious Titus circular.
Mr. Lamb shoulders the responsibil
ity for this circular, lie fathers the
attacks upon Mr. Bowden, the super
intendent and the teachers. He is evi
dently prepared to abide by the conse
quences.
lIIK FAL.L Ot <.OK>|AV
The fall of Gorman means the in
stallation of Maryland !n the halls . £
Republicanism. The state has rebelli 1
a;. .est the most audacious polit I
I .in the country. Qj)ay is a t .
t!;:« u. h his shrewdness in always ri
i < ®.' id of popular sentiment, as in
i • " m of Penrose from PhiU

1 att k* his place as a leader v
»'• '■> ' excellent men for the he * is
of tick which after all a defer
ence to pv -lie opinion. llama is a
boas of *vnoth> - kind. His success is
cue to h.« woii.-Wfui executive ability.
Gorman l* »ngs to the same ela«uj
of boss* *as C r rhey are both
coarse, d terminr i *; rant* utterly sel
fish thems» Ives—* n. toriously cor
rupt and the olhfcr 'en accused of
it—who have overr. 1 4 : p ilar opin
ion and braxenly flaunted t! »*ir power
in the face of public de va y, through
their organisation of the worst de
no -its in the cities. Tht? power is
du to the lethargy of got !, w 11-frd,
fairly comfortable citizens; while Tice
and crime. hungry and grasping, are
alwayi keenly on the alert. banded to
gether by a common cause, standing
together to resist h* and righteous
ness —a rain-'. the common but sleepy
en#>my. This organization is what
put New York city at the m*rcy of
Croker and has k«»pt Maryland under
the thumb of Gorman. If with the
downfall of Gorman, the Democratic
bos*, that of Wellington, the Repub
lican boss, is accomplished, Maryland
ia to be congratulated.
Maryland is a beautiful state, Balti
more an ei*eant city. The people are
g<*n«*rally of a superior character—not
so energetic or so keenly commercial
as thofi- of some other cities, bat in
telligent and abore the average in
culture, ft must bare been mortifying
to them to be led by Gorman to the
polls and dictated to by him in the
selection of officials and the passage
of laws. Reputable citizens In every
part of the Union rejoice at their vic
tory.
there most be, organiza
tion is essential to success. But there
is a wide distinction between ft leader
and a boss; between one who voices
the sentiments of the people and
champions their rights, and one who
their rights at defiance and robs
them through the machinery of office.
MK. I. %MH I? SILEST.
Two distinct questions are to be set
tled by the qualified voters today.
They are C) filling the impending va
cancy in the board of school directors:
and (2) the adoption or rejection of
free text books. Mr. I-amb has de
clared himself unqualifiedly in favor
of the proposition, and Mr. Bowden
has not made public his personal atti
tude. He is under no obligation to
make his views known. They do not
enter into the question of his qualifi
cations as director. The people, and
not the directors, are to determine
whether or not free text books shall
be adopted. If they declare in the
affirmative, the board of directors will
have no option but to take measures
looking toward making effective the
expression of their will. There is not
the faintest reason to suppose that the
f-ntire board will not, in thi3 respect,
do its duty, and its whole duty,
promptly, willingly and thoroughly.
Further to emphasize his position,
Mr. Bowden some days since stated in
the Fost-Intelligencer that the deci
sion of the vot« rs he would regard as
final. This declaration was superflu
ous. No one has doubted that he
would.
The Post-Intelligencer has no infor
mation as to whether Mr. Bowden fa
vors the retention of Superintendent
Barnard. The question as to whether
the superintendent has or has not been
unduly active in Mr. Bowden's behalf
does not materially affect the merits
of his candidacy, and will not be dis
< u*aed. Nor does it think that the at
titude of either candidate on the
money question is proper to canvass
in this connection. Bat it has discov
ered behind Mr. Larub interests and
elements that do not represent the
bt'3t and highest sentiment of this
community, and it is forced to regard
his candidacy as on an exact prane
with the character of his support. It
is not be supposed that, as director, he
would be able to defy the influences
that surround and guide him as candi
date. The Fost-Intelligencer thinks
the time has not yet come when the
people of Seattle are ready to place
the public schools in their hands.
JON RS. HE TAI.KS ON< E MORS.
The general public had forgotten all
about it, perhaps, but there is a man
residing in the state by the name of
Jones. His top name is William C.
and he vs rites the word "congress
man" before his name. The Post
intelligencer relocated this interesting
fossil yesterday, and brought him out
;nto the light of day through an in
terview in which Mr. Jones talked
about fusion —a question that was tue
>a*is of some excitement just before
he retired frr»m the public's view. It
id to be regretted that Mr. Jon°s re
ttimed to the public gaze with his old
Populist myths still floating about
him. but there seems to be some hop*
f hi* ultimate recovery, in that dur
ing all of his interview the old delu
sions of 16 to 1, wheat and silver as
:win brothers of adversity, and sev
eral well-remembered charts were not
referred to by him.
Mr. Jones d: 1 say two thing?, how
over, that sounded like" the erratic
Jones who was on the stump last year.
Fir*t. that there were a great many
Republicans who voted with that
party in this state last year who
now anxious to aid in securing the
p-r'.vg defeat in order to change the
money system.
1. he upholds the Rogers state
administration and believes it has
strengthened the fusion party.
Mr. Jones, while attorney general,
l-.id the reputation of giving an opin
ion first and 1 oking up the law after
ward. Tfc*> P -t-Intelllgeneer does not
w -h to accuse Mr Jones of having
.•en his mental faculties a perma
ent vacation. *h! h it w >uld have to
j if it took Y s interview seriously.
I* therefore take* it that Mr. Jon* 1 *
has merely changed his system. Tn
s* -ad of writing opinions and looking
up the law afterward, evidently he
now talks his desires j id defers look
ing f*r his ?. ■ until la- r.

THE SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER. SATURDAY. NOVEMBER fi. «7.
who is fr'er.dly to Tacoma. and who mani
fests his regard ta a proper way. But t2*T
•ake very emphatic exceptions to Mr. Fir
kins' conception of the of loyalty
and to his method of displaying It. They
*«B remember that en a recent occasion
Mr. Perk.rs caused to be published In tha
East an interview w.th himself relative to
Tacoms and the Klondike trade that wn
so directly and notoriously at variance wuh
the facts as to leave no escape from the
conclusion that he deliberately lied. M
ro:lder term is adequate. In view of these
circum« T ances. hia denial as to the weather
bureau matter will be accepted for what It
Is worth.
If the Popußsts and IVmo-rats find evi
dence in Tuesday's elections that the Re
publican party is losing strength and
prestige, they are storing up trouble for
themselves. The Republican party has
abundant reason to feel entirely satisfied
with the situation. It is obvious that it
has lost no ground whatever. Its voting
p*>wer was showr at its lowest, and even
then it lost nothing, with the exception of
New Tork. that it could not well afford to
V«e. If the average Republican vote here
after is found to be midway between the
minimum vote of LS97 and the maximum of
the party cannot lose any national
election. As for New York, no one pre
tends that the issue of free silver lost It to
the Republicans. Tammany, which Is
adroitly and skillfully directed, knew what
It was about when it deliberately failed to
indorse the Chicago platform.
A specious attempt !s being made to
have It appear that the fate of free teat
books is Involved In Mr. Lamb's election.
The school directorship is an absolutely
Independent matter. It has no vital rela
tion' to free text books. The voters of the
district have been a»ked to declare for
or against the policy of free text book*
and their decision is to be made wholly
irrespective of the school board, and its
desires, attitude or influence. Mr. Bowden
has made a candid and proper statement
that he irlll do his best to carry out the
will of the public. His oath as a member
of the board will allow him no alternative.
If the district declares for free text books
free text books we shall have. The elec
tion of either Mr. Bowden or Mr. Lamb
cuts no figure whatever in that question.
It has been urged against Mr. Bowden's
election that he has the support of Supt.
Barnard, and practically every teacher in
the Seattle schools. The Post-Intelligencer
does not know if this declaration is true.
But it does knew that the confidence, re
spect and indorsement of all the teachers
is a high and convincing testimonial of
any candidate's fitness, and if Mr. Bow
den possesses it, he is the man to elect
school director. In any event, it is know n
that his character is excellent, and hl3
business integrity and capacity are not
to be questioned. He has promised that
he will bring to the school directorship all
his known industry and capabilities, and
it is assured that, if elected, he will ren
der the district conscientious and efficient
service.
The howl of "ring" in the school election
is absurd. It is raised to divert public at
tention from the real issue, and to damage
the interest of a respectable and deserving
candidate. The real ring is among the sup
porters of Mr. Lamb. The proof and the
fruit cf their conspiracy is the Titus cir
cular. The petty politicians, the self
seekers, and the noisy demagogic element
are all arrayed behind Mr. Lamb. They
e. *1 not cone- »1 their identity I? they
tried. Their present purposes are obscure,
but their methods are perfectly famili
to the public, which has learned, with
sound reason, to distrust any cause they
advocate.
The Titus circular addressed to the
"registered voters" of Seattle was a wan
ton insult to every teacher and every
school janitor and employe in Seattle. an. 1
to every citizen who chooses to vote for
Mr. Bowden for school director. It vvas
low and contemptible in spirit and un
warranted and false in statement. It has
raised the issue of decency against in
decency in this election, and It become*
every voter who respects himseif and ap
preciates the importance of maintaining
the public school system on a high plane
to go to the polls today and cut a baiiot
for Mr. Bowden.
The retirement os." Senator Gorman to pri
vate life is among the satisfactory certain
ties established by the re ent ele tion. No
member of the senate can be better spared.
His Influence on American politics has been
malign ar.d far-reaching, and It Is likely
that for the future it will be limited. Gor
man has no conviction* that cannot be
amended to suit his opportunities and no
principles that are not founded on his own
personal advantage.
The appointment of Mr. Clay pool as a»-
sistant United State* district will
he gratifying to his many friends. Mr.
Clay pool is an able lawyer, an active and
influential Republican, and a good fellow.
That he will (ischarge his duties with en
tire satisfaction to the public and credit
to the administration
The victory in Maryland Is the most im
port3nt ever achieved by Republicans in
that st*te. It Insures not only The retire
ment Of Gorman, which In itself Is highly
satisfying, but the return of another Re
publican senator from that state.
SS IPSIIOTS BY THE WAY. *
They hare pried Mr. Gorman loose at
last.
Speaking cf Maryland. Mr. Gorman's
impending vacancy will be somebody's
oyster.
The reaam of it ail doubtless lies in
the fact that the lianna balloon ha* been
carrying the Perkins de.id weight.
Gov. Rogers' hesitation as to that proc
lamation perhaps arises from his doubts
as to what the fusion party has to be
thankful for.
Because a Ooiville husband attempted
to assist Ms Wife in her kitchen work
*he hit h.m with a r ve L k and fe!lod
him to the floor. No husband is justified
in taking such chances.

turned from the East. where he ar.d Her-.

the enterprise. He will leave this mom

shortly to make the plans and construct
two dredgers specially designed to handle

•We have secured ail the money we
needed and more too." said Mr. Saleno at
the Butler !a«t night, "and shall be«in con
struction here within thirty days. Our men
are jiow making locations, for the pros
pect-in* is practically done, and we know
where we are going" to work, so that the
dredgers can bee n operations soon as
they strike the Yukon.
"The first thing I was -isked when I went
East was about Alaska: the next was
about Seattle as an outfitting point and a
place for starting in business. From that
on, the conversation was about Seattle,
much to my chagrin as a San Franciscan
The question in my mind is where they are
going to get men to man the railroads
street cars, etc.. In the East, for everybody
seeing to be getting ready to come West to
go into some business tributary to Alaska,
or to go to Alaska himself. I met dozens
of men In the dubs and hotels who say
positively that they are coming. It seems
to me that Seattle is roing to reap the
harvest. In Washington. New York. Buf
falo. Philadelphia Chicaro and Sr. Paul I
found the same intense interest in every
thing relating to Seattle, and I found as
keen an interest in Alaska even among the
conservative moneyed men of Philadelphia
"The Post-Intelligencer is devoured in the
East about as greedily as any of the for
eign papers. You see it in the New Y.-rk
clubs and you see the edges decidedly
raeeed, an evidence of how much It is
read."
John B. King, of Chicago, a former
newspaper man, wio has been connected
with many of the metropolitan newspapers
of the country, has been at the Rainier-
Grand for several days. It is understood
that Mr. King Is here in the interest of a
syndicate of Eastern capitalists and !s
making a close investigation of matters
connected with the enterprise in view.
"No. I am not a victim of the Klondike
fever." said Mr. K.ne, laughingly, "al
though unless quarantined I soon will be
So far T am an immune. I think one safer
here from Infection than in the East,
where nearly every other man you meet,
and new woman, too. for that matter, is
eagerly interested in the Alaskan gold
fields. The newspaper readers consider the
news from the Klondike as the m?>?t fas
cinating items in the papers, and that the'.r
interest is not idle is shown by the reports
of the vast numbers who are starting, are
getting ready to start soon, or who will
start in the early spring for the gold fields.
Why. there will be an army of them.
I.ike the Hurs who swept Europe .and in
vaded Italy, they will swoop down on Se
attle like their prototpve of old did on
ancient Rome, and there will be no heading
them off. either.
"Rivals of this town won't be In it. for
it is universally known that Seattle is the
proper place to start and outfit from. Yes.
I guess you are alive to your opportunity,
but you will have to hustle to take care of
the thousands who will be nere. and don't
let your merchants forget that every
mother's son of them will be here with a
good, fat roll to spend, for the Eastern
prf s is filled with warnings not to start
without sufficient money to purchase a
complete outfit, including a year's supply
of provisions."
Tie first of the promised swarm of In
vestors in the Klondike district have be
gun to arrive from Eng'and. and thev pre
dict that others will follow them. Robert
Smith, chairman of the Klondike. Stew
art and Yukon Pioneers' Company, lim
ited. of I„ondon. has been at the Rainier-
Grand for two days, and left yesterday for
the E.ist. having m-de preparations to
send several expeditions Into the Yukon
basin in the sprintr. "We have not ac
quired any properties." said he. "for we
1 tend to send m*-n to locate some for us.
We shall first KO into British territory*, but
may afterwards go over Into Alaska. I
have been awav London for two
months, but at the time I left some people
took the Klondike discoveries seriously,
but many were inclined to laugh at them.
I think by this time they must all take
the m itter serlnu-ly. The people in Lon
don are not as ready to put money in
American as in Canadian investments, for
we prefer our own colonies to a foreign
country- The Americans have shown no
desire to ene>ourage business with Eng
land. and the Canadians are moving in
that direction.
"As far as I have been able to judge,
this city seems to have all the eb ments of
great prosperity You seem to be an en
terprismg people."
"Yes, I have some interests In Seattle,"
said Ge-orge M. Forster, the well-known
Spokane lawyer, at the Butler last night.
"I am Interest I in the Centennial mill
here, and, in connection with our mill at
Spokane, it is a good business investment
Business has got to go to the tide flats, if
Seattle continues to grow as 1 believe it
will, and other things will soon follow
our mill.
"I was one of the original Le Rol stock
holders. but I sold out two years ago. Do
I regret it? No. I got more for my stock
than it was worth at that time, and what
his been discovered in the mine since
then is none of my business. Yes, we

Washington. October 30, ISST,
To the Edi- >r This letter is neither
private nor confidential, and is written
simply to give the facts concerning ;..e
articles thai recently have appeared in
your paper relative to the alleged removal
of the weather uureau service from Seat
tle to Tacoma.
My first and only information on the
subject was the articles printed in the
Post-Intelligencer. These aniv "s were
based upon a rumor which had absolut iy
no foundation in fact, as I never have had
any com muni cat lon upon the subject ft >m
any source, nor have I ever had any idea
of making such a request.
When I arrived in Washington last De
cember I asked for and secured a weather
bureau service for Tacoma, as her com
mercial and shipping interests demanded
that she have a service second to none on
Puget sound. The same interests at Se
attle demand a like service, and I should
work against Its removal or discontinu
ance with every influence that I could
bring to bear. As a citizen of the *tate of
Washington, I shall at ait times work for
her Interests without fear or or
hope of reward; and as a citizen of Ta
cuma, whose interests and people are
dear to me. I shall at all times work for
her welfare, where it Is within my power
to do so, and where no injustice is don©
to the rest of our state.
I have not wruten the above for the pur
pose of vindicating myself, but simply to
deny through the medium of your paper
the erroneous statements that have ap
peared therein. If the press of Seattle
wishes to try me on the charge of loyalty
to Tacoma, well and good. 1 plead guilty.
When an important issue arist-s that ia
of interest to any part of our state I shall
be only too glad to give It the support of
what little influence I may possess.

Loomis Prospector: It is not plws.int to
look forward to three more years of this
monkey and parrot state administration.
It has got so bad that even the Spokane
Spokesman cannot muster up courage to
defend the creation its assisted to create.
Skagit News-Herald: Gov. ROK< rs is
entitled to the thanks of every citizen of
the state for firing the regents of the
State University, who were bringing that
institution into disrepute. He would have
Improved matters greatly by firing the
whole outfit-
Port Townsend Leader: The action of
the law of supply and demand is exem{-li
ed ia the Klondike district. There, where
there is plenty of gold, which is good of
course tho world over, the prices of sup
plies are abnorm.tlly high. That is not
because the number of primary units of
money Is numerous, but suppli# s are
scarce. As a "theory" the idea of the in
crease of primary units in money works
beautifully, but practically it fails. Klon
dike has a superabundance of primary
gold units, but they cannot buy bread.
