(ee The voters of Seattle have a very well defined idea that the Seattle ey figure that If ¥ lc Company is not in business for ite health T resaid monopoly waa not making gilt-edge profits, tt would not # money In a new million-dollar power plant im this elty When therefore the evening organ of the company comes out with es to the voters that they will make @ great mistake in favoring dilshment of a municipal plant which would k money, the em round the cirele Today the Repubtican city convention Incorporates into tte platform @ plank favoring the immediate construction of a municipal electri plant Cedar Falls Tomorrow the De mooratic convention will do likewtee. Every ndidate for the mayoralty has declared in favor of the Cedar Falls plant The chamber of commerce has apoken 2 to 1 in favor of it it is an Interesting situation for the two corporation dailies in this aity which are prot * against a municipal plant, The people understand es An evening paper of this city, which ts laboring tn the tnteresta of the Seattie Electric Company against the proposition to establish a municipal electric plant at Cedar Falls, prints frequent statements te the effect that muntelpal plants do not pay, Yesterday it continued its assertions along this tine and in a weak attempt to bolster ap the same quoted from a report made by a committee of a Massachusetts town to the effget that auch plants are generally unprofitable. it would probably be found, upon investigation, that. the Massachusetts committee making th remarkable report which t* #o completely at Variance with the reports coming from sceres of other cities, was animated by an enthusiastic friendship fer monopolies, It te quite frequentiy the case that monopolies have friends In official piace They have them im thin city The Sctentifie American, an acknowledged authority upon all mattere relating to electrical progress, telegraphed the Star a few days ago that successful municipal electric plants exist In hundreds of! cities In the United States, Possibly the opinion of the reputable sctentifie journal in question is not as reliable as that of the hostile Masaachusetta com mittee quoted by the Seattle organ of monopolies, but the fact remains that THE PEOPLE will take the word of the Scientific American, oO A DANGEROUS PROPOSITION The Seattle chamber of commerce could make NO GREATER MIS. TAKE than to endorse the proposition to amend the Chinese exclusion law #0 as to admit “house servants.” Such @ loop-hole would be large enough to allow a Monxotian horde to enter the Pacific ports and over run the whole comet, ruining wages for Inboring men, driving them away, and, as a direct rewult, inflicting irreparable injury upon mereh sand hers who depend for their profits upon the wages paid to the men who toil It utter tment tO assert that Chine wer once ad tted, would not kly invade ali branches of industry for which they have any aptitude, By accepting low wages they would make abor impomelble, ‘The fact that there ts a lack of house servants the const does not supply a reason for sitting the Chinese ec e country Nothing bet a spirit of selfishness and utter disregard fe este of the gteat masse of the people could prompt « ont in thie lireetion ‘There are people in thie world, aad to relate, who case noth the inter ny mov na for thelr nélghbors’ welfare, juet as long ax THEY are nfort The “servant question ould be easily ilies In Seattle, Portian ywn the bars, but where one would be benefitted, ten would be Injur 1. The United States happens to conduct its affaires upon the theory SATEST GOOD TO THE GREATEST NUMBER ts the thing to be obtained in every instance tled for we fan Francisco and eteewhere, by lett that the G The Seattle chamber of commerce has @ eset of resolutions pending before it to endorse the admission of Chinese Lat the proposition be shelved politely, but firmly. It ts anfortunate that some of the good women of this city should have brought the matter before the chamber at all, It ts also unfortunate that they are troubled by lack of servants in their houses, owing to the prevailing scarcity, but they must not ex- pect the general public to pay the ruinous bill which the free admission of plenty of Chinese servants would ental! Just at this time there # great need for presenting a united front im opposition to the Chinese. IF CONGRESS 18 GIVEN TO UNDER STAND THAT THE PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC STATES ARE NOT A UNIT IN OPPOSING THE ADMISSION OF THE CHINESE, GRAVE RESULTS MAY FOLLOW. The people of the Eastern states and their congressmen know little of the Mongolians from direct association and competition, and naturally take but a languid interest in a matter which, if thoroughly understood by them in all of ite menacing aapecth, would stir the vast majority to action No chamber of commerce In Washington can afford to endorse the preposition to admit Chinese. _ ALL HONOR TO THIS MAN Tt was & wonderful tribute that was paid yesterday to the memory of Charles L. Grant, city Jaller It seemed as thought the populace, actu ated by one common Impulse, turned out en manse to do honor to the memory of a plain, good man of the people whom all esteemed and ad mired. Hundreds gave up their business for the afternoon, regardless of pecuniary sacrific #, and joined in the solemn funeral proce: Thousands of others, men, women and child n, lined the streeta dov town and watched the Imposing cortege pase, with hearts overflowing with sorrow that Death should have ed THIS one in the full Mush of his strength and manhood Many a man rich and prosperous, many @ leader in political and social life, has been carried to the grave with scanty following, and passers-by on the sidewalks, casting fleeting glances at the mourners tn carriages, have hurried on and turned their thoughts speedily to other things. The world has no time to mourn for the many, Charlies I. Grant was not a rich man, nor was he powerful in the councils of the city, state or nation. He had been an army sergeant once upon @ time, and had performed his duties faithfully and well, but he had never risen to rank of captain or nel. He was simply fergeant Grant. And when he took the position of city jailer he had naught but his personality to command attention. Thousands of jal ere have lived and died like other men tn ordinary occupations, and the world has recked naught of their coming and going. k “Charley” Grant was different By the sheer force of his winsome personality and his upright character, he had won the hearts of thousands, No man in Seattle was more widely known No man was more highly respected. And when the dread summona came eo sud Aenty, the great public heart waa stirred ad the spontaneous impulse of as to do homage to the man who had the people w world to the better one All honor to the memory of Jailer Grant! He lived acceptably, did eased from this g004 in this world, and when hin days were finished, he left behind that pricelens legacy—a good name enshrined In the hearts of the people WASHINGTON, D.
