horse railroads will be obliged to increase thu

the Third Avenue line starts one every half

The objection to the legislation proposed
In Albany In regard to compelling street railroad
companies to provide seat for every passenger,
Is not that 1t would not be a good thing to have
each passenger thus accomm dated but that
the means proposed to attain that end, " carried
into effect, would not only fail OF attaining the
desired result, but would entail great inconve.
nience and hardship to the people who depend
upon street cars for conveyance to and from
their homes. The LEGISLATURE may pass a law
prohibiting railroad companies from collecting
any fare from passengers who are not provided
with seats, but they cannot compel those COM
panies TO run more cars for the accommodat
Of the public than will accommodate the aver
age traffic Of the day. Everybody who knows
anything about the business of street railroads
knows that at certain hours in the morning and
In the evening the traffic is greatly in excess OF
that during the remainder Of the day. II the
railroad companies should put on nough cars
to give every person seat who IL DESTROYS of
using them in the busy hours a large portion of
them would necessarily run empty during the
other hours, else the cars and the
horses required to draw them would lie idle a
great portion Of the time. The result would be
disastrous to the companies. but they are not
likely TO enter upon so foolish an expert nent.
The practical result Of the proposed legislation,
surprising II 10 be enforced. would be that In the
morning aud evening, when the great m jority
OF business men are going to and from their
homes, the cars would not accommodate one
third Of those who would wish to ride, and who
would gladly submit to the discomfort Of stand
ing up rather than plod two or three miles on
foot. perhaps In a drenchlng rain, with the alter
native OF hiring a coach at a cost OF two or three
dollars. In the course OF time the Introduction
Of a rapid transit route will relieve the pressure

have in most thoroughfares superseded the
omnibus. In the mean time those who are COM
PEELED to submit to the Inconvenience COM
planned Of had better possess their souls in
patience, instead OF urging a legislative inter
ference which can only result in failure.

WM. MCKEE, proprietor of The GlsJs- Deno-

defrauiing the, government by partieipa-
tion in the profits of the whiskey steal. He
will be sentenced to keep company with joyce

opportunity in confinement to repent of his
misdeeds. Such result must have . saIu-

ExTRAvAGANT RATES OF INTEREST
The outstanding city indebtedness some $4,000
Is IN the shape of money borrowed, for which
the authorities are paying at the rate of l :
per cent o month. We need not say that
'his Is an extrayagant rate of interest. and
one that is not justified by even the present
low condition of the city finances. brought
about by gross mismanagement. We doubt
whether the authorities had the right to bor.
row money at rate exceeding 10 Der cent.
Per annum bat conceding that all was right
and regular, we contend that measures should
al once be taken to obtain the money at a
more reasonable rate. On good security.
money IN any amount can be had in this
valley at the rate of one per cent, and where
the loan Is to run for 4 considerable period,
at lower figure. We know of cases where
loans stood against brick buildings being taken
up and the money replaced at lesa than one
per cent month. There can be no better
security than the good faith Of the city, and
on this credit the authorities, if they have
any financial ability whatever, will 90 to
work and replace the present loans at rate
OF interest not in excess of 10 per cent. per
annum. The money can be borrowed at the
figure we name, and the present credi,5ir
paid the amounts they advanced This is
simply matter of business, and should be
adjusted in business way. The holders of
city scrip are only paid at the rate of 10 per
cent, and there is no good reason why the
holders Of ether obligations should be paid
greater percentage. In the length and
breadth of the land not another city is TO be
found that is paying anything like one-end-
a-halt per cent. month on borrowed money,
and there Is 10 good reason why Walla Walla
should pay this eXtravagant rate of interest.
In the name Of all that is honest, let this
leak be stopped

SENslBLE.-A cynic says that a wise man
provides himself with the necessaries of life
before he looks after The Injuries One who
should 20 about with a handsome diamond
pin IN his bosom, while he had not a whole
pair Of shoes to his feet, wonld be regarded
as luuatic. The citiz= II who should set up
an elegant carriage with liveried footmeu,
while he could not supply his family With
food or clothing, would be pronounced pre-
tentious fool. What is true of an indiyidu-
al is alSU true Of community? Is 1t not
absurd for a city to provide itself with lu1u-
ries before it provides itself with common
conveniencesI 1t would be very nice NJ
doubt, for Walla Walla to have grand cd
tennial celebration upon the Fourth OF u
next; but when We come to look at the dirS
streets, the dilapidated sidewalks and the sad
lack OF a number Of other necessities, We are
constrained to ask, would il not be- better to
provide for our wa'.ts than to appropriate for
our luxury?

THE DELEGATE.-This year Washington

TO this time there is little or no discussion as
to the merits of possible candidates. As nSual,
we presume the Sound will claim the candi-

most likely will be allowed. So far as the
question of usefulness is concerned, it matters
little who the candidate is, or where he comes
fro,, After his election he will do little
more than attend to dividing the Offices and
drawing his pay, and this is a service that
can be rendered by the most Indifferent
