How discriminasive and capable of
delicate distinctions some of our Sena
tors In Congress are when any measure
referring to railroad corporations comes
up.> Yesterday, for instance, when SEN
ator Van Wyck Of Nebraska called mp
his resolution instructing the Secretary
of the Interior not to issue patents to
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company
for lands claimed 10 have been earned
by constructing the Puyallup coal road.
MP jumped Senator Coneer Of Michigan
and objected to Its passage upon the
ground that the Senate had no right to
dictate 10 Che Executive how II shosld
execute the laws. Probably Mr.. Con-
Ger IL right. Il takes two thirds ma
iority of both Houses of Congress to
dictate" to the President, unless by
approving joint resolution or bill he
acquiesce in their dictation. But in
this case the dictation was made many
years ago. II directed the President To
issue patents to land earned In compli-
ance with Law. II gave him no pcrmis-
sion TO nullify that law or extend its
provisions TO cover period OF ave ad
disional years. II he persists in vio-
latins law OF Congress IL In In order.
we think, to remind him Of itty reso-
buttons from both the Senate and House
of Representatives, In which latter
body resolution sin liar 10 that Of
Senator Van wyck has been introduced
by Mr.. Henly Of California.

Town CLooK.-NothinR definite has
yet been done in the matter of the town
clock-but talk. A suitable clock would
cost about $3.50. Its dial would be
qnadrupled, having face on each side
OF the lofty tower TO surmouut the Opera
House. The clock would not represent
the whole expense by airy means, as the
bell 10 accompany il would cost fully a
thousand dollars, or more than twice
as much as the clock. The proposition
hsre Ia TO put the slock SO high that the
face could be- seen over the greatest part
of the townsite, while the big bell could
be heard over the whole town. Ii Is
proposed to have the tower lit at night,
so that the hands car be seen distinctly
at any time. A clock like this properly
attended TO would not cost more than
twenty dollars n month, and would give
our CITY striking distinction over its
sister towns, for whom it would set the
time as we'll AS for our own people Une
man has offered to give one hundred
dollars towards this worthy object, but
the talk has not yet developed into a
tangible movement.
