THE CHARTER CASE.

While It seems incumbent on oar citi-
zens to exercise patience and moderation
in regard TO the adjustment If the vexa-
tious muddle into which or city affairs
appear 10 have fallen. II would doubt
less also lie expedieucy and good policy
on the part Of our prcsent city admin
istra'ioa To exercise all due prudence
in the mstter Of incurring obligations
on the part of the city ~ long as its
Affairs Gre ovsrhupS ~ this cloud OF
uncertainty and doubt. A rigid econ
omy OF administration 1t the present
time 10 the duty Of the hour. and tho
safest way out Of the dilemma. By this
course il can DO brought abont that re-
pudiation will not become an object 70
any one. even il there should be any in
this community 90 hare, Drained as to de-
sire reputation. We are confident
though. that there could not be found
in this city . majority. nor even no.
ticeable minority Of voters so lost to
all sense Of decency. let alone of honor.
who could be found willing to vote for
such measure OF shame rs the repaid
ation of the citys debts. or for any
measure that would involve it directly
or indirectly, There happens to exist
IN inveterate popular prejudice, that is
perhaps tho stronger and more set in
people the more humble that their cir
eumstsnoes may happen to be, in favor
OF honesty and square dealing. We
seriously doubt. therefore. whether
there could DO found in Seattle . bakers
dozen of men mean enough to vote de-
liberately for reputation.
1t would unquestionably be better for
our city organization to rest on tho
bedrock foundation Of unshal len gsable
legality AZ soon as it possibly can.
Therefore q strenuous pressure ought to
sbe brought to bear on Congress for the
immediate passage Of the bill for our
relief. at least We do not want any
long-wiuded and expensive lawsuits
run up upon the city on this score, if it
can DO avoided.
But whatever courss il taken, the
issue Of reputation is one that ought
never to be taised. Such a step. il We
could imagine Of its prevailing. would
be municipal suicide. L. would be On
issue on which none could gain. while
some would lose heavily a. once and all
heavily in the outcome. /. would be q
blot on our city's name and credit. that
could never DO edaced. and blight on
its prosperity that would neye; be sur
vived.
