WEATHER.

Tonight showers and thunderstorms,

The Tacoma school board has just

disposed Of a $200, I issue of School

bonds at 1 1 1 per cent interest, getting

a premium of $6 a thousand. Rudolph

Kelybolte & Co.. of Cincinnati; take

the I Is. It might be well for the

cits- council to bear this firm in mind

in disposing of the street improve-

ment bonds soon to be issued. It was

first proposed to pay not more than

7 per cent interest, then the maximum

was reduced to 6 per cent. It is evi-

dent that the maximum might easily

be reduced to 5 per cent and that with

competitive bids the rate of interest

might be made as law as that which

Tacoma school bonds are to pay.

COMBINED «'ITY HALL AND

COURT HOUSE.

lii view of the fact that a new city

hall is to be !>uilt and thai a new court

huns, w ill soon be badly needed, it has

been sugg< sted ihat it would be an

economical plan for the city and county

to combine in the erection of one large

building to ae< ommodate all the city

and county officers. This plan has

boon followed in many cities of the

country and has worked admirably. If

the city council and the county com-

tion of their financial resources they

could erect a public building that

would prove more convenient, service-able, eleganl and imposing than any

two buildings that could be erected by

the citj and the county acting inde-

pendently.

According t" the report of Architect

Osterman. the county court house can

be made to last four or five years long-

er by patching it up. but it is doubtfulwhether it is worth the cist. The c : ty

hall has aiready been condemned to

demolition, but just bow a new one

is to be built has not yet been deter-

mined. The statesman believes that

it would be a wise thing for the com-

missioners and the council to hold a

combined city hall and court house.

There is no good reason why the of-

fices of city treasurer and county

likewise the two assessors' offices and

the jails. Both the city and the county j

would not go, as th< tacts about Boss

Far red's absolute control of the con-vention had been published in every

pap. r of the state. For example, theTacoma Ledger, which was never anadmirer of Governor Mcßride and hisproposed railroad commission, said the

day after the convention adjourned:

"The eon\<'ution which masquerad-

ed as republican has met, conquered

and adjourned. It was a railroad con-

vention from start to finish. The slate

went through as directed by the man-agers. The lines have been closely

drawn, and as far aa the convention

was concerned the railroads were the

republican party. The Ledger stands

by the ticket and admires the genius

of iis manipulators, but it docs not

hesitate to say tint it damns their

Thousands of Independent, self-re-

epecting republicans on both sides of

the Cascades will not stand by the

ticket and they damn not only the con-

ception of tii" railroad lobbyists, but

their handiwark. They will not give

their approval to such a travesty upon

popular government as was exhibitedin the manipulation of the Tacoma

convention. They are eager to rebuke

the insolence and arrogance of ? loss

Farrell and his tools and they will do

it next .November by electing deorge

Turner governor and choosing a leg-

islature that will provide for the just

regulation and equitable taxation of

railroads and all Other corporations

through effective commissions.

TEACHERS AND GOOD BREEDING.

An exchange says that In the selec-

tion of teachers more attention is paidto their qualifications from a technicalstandpoint than to their natural gifts

of head and heart. Many of theni.

like their pupils, have Inherited evil

propensities that it is hard for theni to

overcome. Some are nervous and im-

patient: some are selfish and ill-tem-

pered, and follow the vocation of

teacher only because they are obliged

to do something for a living and are

probably unable to secure more con-

genial employment. They do their

work grudgingly and no more of it

than they are obliged to do in order to

retain their situations. They never

try to gain, the affections of the chil-

dren confided ti their care for six or

seven hours out of the twenty-four.

Their manners are sometimes rude and

impatient, thereby intimidating the

timid and irritating the proud-spirited.

Such teachers have been known to fly

Into a passion and to say harsh and

cruel things to children of sensitive

natures. For example, one teacher is

in the habit of telling pupils of even

the best families who incur her dis-

pleasure that if they had good breed-

ing at home they would not do so and

so. This is an unwarranted insult not

only to the pupils but to their parents,

and teachers guilty of such abuse oftheir authority are themselves in need

of better breeding and of severe dis-

cipline.

HOW VERY CONSISTENT.

The guests of republican Governor

Ferguson's special train out of Guthrie.

(Ok.), for St. bonis, last week, refused

to ride with John Capers, a negro

m<-mb> r of the ( ity council, and he was

compelled to leave the train aud ride

in a "Jim Crow" the next day, says

an exchange. The governor's train

bore a majority of the territorial offi-

cers, the governor's military staff and

Troop A band. Oklahoma nationalguards. It was. therefore, an eminent-ly representative gathering of repub-lican officials and their henchmen who

were thus tried and found wanting in

their professions of "justice" for the

negro. Capers is a college graduate,

formerly a newspaperman, is secre-

tary of the Logan county republicancommittee, a member of the Guthrie

city council and represents his ward

on several important committees. In

1898 he was the republican nomineefor ' ity clerk. It was nothing but

flesh crawl at the bare thought of rid-

ing with him a f< w hours in a convey-

ance which was in the broadest sense,

a common carrier.

gestion of free ships and free mate-rials will not be indorsed by the com-mission in this standpat era. Freeships and free materials for the con-struction of shipping might rejuvenate

<>ur merchant marine, but it would bea little hard on the steel trust and theshipyards. They would object vehe-mently to being called upon to conrtib-ute to the welfare of our merchant ma-

rine. They fully believe that otherpeople ought to be willing to contrib-ute through the protective tariff to

their prosperity, but they are decided-ly opposed to contributing to the pros-perity of others through the imposi-

tion of taxes upon themselves. At the

same time the steel trust insists uponfixing prices on steel plates sold to

American builders that are very muchhigher than those quoted to foreign

builders.

The result will doubtless be that

for fear of taxing such infant indus-

tries as the steel trust and the ship-

building plants, the commission willeventually report favorably upon somemethod of encouraging the building

up of a large merchant marine by

making the people at large pay for it.

The strange thing about this outcome

will be, too. that tlie people at large

are getting on very well without a large

mere bant marine and are not worry-

ing themselves about the lack of one.

though sentimentally they would beglad enough to see the American flag

floating over splendid ships in all the

seas.

IT HURT HANNA.

Case and Comment says:

"All can remember the cartoons of

a few years ago which depicted Sena-

tor Hanr/h as a huge, heartless mon-ster, dressed in a suit covered with

dollar marks, as he stood tramplingon ami crushing the prostrate forms

of women and children, heedless of

their agony if it might add to his

wealth. In the whole history of

shameless political abuse it is doubt-

ful if anything had ever before been

seen so cruel and brutal. To many

of his political opponents, and even

to many of his own party. Mark Han-

na was known chiefly by these car-

toons, and no doubt millions of peo-

ple at the time believed him to be

something like the fiend which they

depicted. In the years since that the

whole nation has come to know him

as a large hearted man. full of human

sympathies, and the especial friend of

laboring men. ( nit of the indescribable

storm of malignity he finally

emerged, and all men learned at last

haw false and infamous these cartoons

had been. While he seemed unmov-

ed by these vicious and persistent

misrepresentations, Senator Scott tells

that in private Senator Hanna, look-ing at one of these cartoons, said, with

tears coursing down his cheeks:? That hurts. When I have tried al!

my life to put myself in the other

fellow's place; when I have tried to

help those in need and to lighten the

burdens of those less fortunate than

myself, to be pictured as 1 am here:

to be held up to the gaze of the world

as a murderer of women and children;

I tell you it hurts.'"
