ENFORCE LAW

The laundry ordinance passed by
our Board of Trustees some weeks
since, has been the subject OF much
criticism, and after all it is or seems to
be dead letter. This ordinance we
are informed was prepared by lawyer
of this city who it is understood will
guarantee its sufficiency, However
there arises much objection to it, and
there is entire failure of enforcement.
In passing We can suggest that
law enacted, then neglected, is rejected
Why SOB The Chinese may be affected.
How sol Why so2 Is a Chinaman
necessarily laundry house. Because
he has the art of splitting on our shirts
whilst ironing them, we marvel il that
is to be deemed market, distinguished
and Disseminated and discriminative
distinction. If so, the city law is
really discriminative and hence Illegal

| folks 90 away. How absurd it is 10
pass our leisure hours away in talking
of, about aud concerning our heathen
friend hen should occasion occur we
gently caress him and throw the arms
of protection around him. Who
would have thought it, the word Chi
naplan is not men toned III the law.
It is only the lessons of laundry houses
that have in their inscrutible wisdom
divined it. To begin with, wash
qousas are a nuisance, injurious to
health and offensive 30 vision. We
have right to abate u nuisance and
IL would follow right to anticipate
and prevent one. So thought the
Board of Trustees and so we think
one of our most excellent enterprisine
citizens was arrested on account of the

building and because, well we guess
| because he was not Chinaman
Why is not the law enforced2 We
cannot blame the lessons for they have
property to rent and want to rent it.
This law should be strictly enforced.
We do not seek to persecute any class
of people, but wish and demand that
all laws should be vindicated We
hear of stern old gentlemen circulating
petitions prohibiting the sale OF. liquor,
but never a word do they say against
opium dens We hear Of much ccm
plaint against lewd houses and bad
white women are driven hence, but
never a word is entered against the
vile feindish females of tie Chinese
race who are maintained in Roseburg
TIE gambling law is sometimes read te
white folks, but never word to Chi
namen. We repeat we do not dis
criminate, and therefore ask that al
laws be indiscriminately enforced.

witnessed strange sight on last Wednesday

in the east, just before the sun was up, of

sumed by rainbows. The question now is,
what caused it? Thus far no one has an
sweIed the question satisfactorily Let me
say the phenomenon is susceptible of philo-
sopbical explanation. 1t was an imperfect
rainbow. True, it was circular in form, as
all rainbows are, and must of necessity be.
But it exhibited only one Of the colors of the

seen in direction opposite to the sun exhibit

Distressing Double Tragedy Wife.Murder
and Suicide.

NV TACOMA, May 28th.-This morning.
at about 1880, our neighbor Tacoma was
shocked by double tragedy of the most dis
tressing character. Thomas Rectar shot his
wife in the head with single pistol,
left her for dead in a bedroom up stairs, then
descended to the dining room, deliberately
reloaded the pistol and shot himself through
spot He evidently placed his right
arm, with the pistol in hand, against the
door casing, and leaning his head against the
muzzle of the pistol, fred the fatal shot, the
bail passing directly through his head and
falling on the other side of the room. Mrs.
Rectar was in an upstairs room just inside
the door, with her side toward the entrance.
Her husband placed the pistol against her
head just back Of the ear, the ball passing
between the two tables of the occipital bone
at base of the brain, and there lodged. The
inches. She fell forward, but was able
afterwards to go down the stairs.
When reaching the door she fell outward
upon the porch, her grosns soon after at
tracing the attention Of neighbors. She
still lives, with but slight chance of recov-
cry. After lying senseless for about two
hours, she said to her father. " Tom did it.
He shot me-" The Coroner's jury are
still in session. The family is most highly
of DIR. A. Walters, the well-known
Postmaster of Tacoma, and the family
have the heartiest sympathy of a
large circle of friends. Three bright
interesting children are orphaned by the sad
affair. On Thursday week they buried their
your gest child Mona, little girl of years,
since which time Mr.. Rectar has been very
respondent at times, taking large doses Of
chloral, and numbers attribute the act to
