SUPPRESS THE ANARCHISTS.

The Chicago police have taken tn e
right course to check anarchists and
crime. The Sunday meetings have been
stopped, and if the authorities will
continue to hold these murderers in
check they will have to propagate their
treason in holes and corners in this
country as well as elsewhere.
The progress of anarchism in Chi
cago was really getting alarming.
The anarchists not only proclaimed
their doctrine from the house tops,
but established schools where it is
diligently "instilled" into the minds
of youth. They issued circulars call
ing . meeting for the purpose of de-
vising means to found such schools,
and this is what led to the prompt
action of the authorities on Sunday
last. One of the schools already or
gauized is conducted in the back room
OF liquor saloon and is attended by
12O children undergoing instructions
in the principles OF Johann Most-the
bomb throwers of the future.
The belief that public enemy il
less dangerous when permitted to
make proselytes and pursue the even
tenor Of his way to insurrection than
when compelled to keep still tongue
in his head is pretty strongly in
trenched in our habits OF thought in this
country, for despite the awful example
OF Chicago with its bloody record our
people are yet not altogether able to.
understand that men protesting the
most monstrous and destructive doc
trines may be entirely sincere and
terribly intent upon their practical ap-
plication.
To give them the right to speak, to
teach, to organize, to parade and arm
is to ignore the obvious truth that
rascal unrestrained is more dangerous
than rascal restrained. 1t is to
neglect the plainest practical precau-
tions. AS Fitz-James Stephen said
liberty is good thing or a bad, ac-
cording to the use that is made of it.
When used for the destruction of lib
erty, liberty is bad thing.

RIVALRY IN TAX PAVING.

The Oregonian complains because
the assessed value OF property in Ore.
gon is $S5, 5,S96,429, only 81 ,254, ,SS1
more than in Washington territory.
It says 1t ought to be $3.50, 600 600 or
$30O,OO0,O00. The whole assessment
Of the state does not equal the actual
value OF property in Multnomah coun-
ty alone. The cause of this, the Ore
gonian thinks, is because each county
does its utmost to keep down valua-
tions, in order that 1t may pay as little
state tax as possible, while in this ter
ritory there is fine spirit OF rivalry
between different localities to appear
to good advantage on the assessment
rolls.
The showing is a good one as COM
pared with Oregon, but we beg leave to
differ with the Oregonian in one le-
spect,. 1t can't really be in earnest
when It says that there is a struggle
between counties as to which can pay
the most taxes for the philanthropic
purpose of swelling the assessment
roll! Every tax collector in the terri
tory will hold up his right hand and
swear to the contrary. We have made
steady. healthy progress, and the as
sessment roll, like all others, we rather
suspect, does not really represent the
full value of property, although it may
come nearer to it than in Oregon.
We deny the soft impeachment. Our
assessment roll is no conscience fund.

LYNCH LAW VIOLENCE.

The killing and wounding OF so
many men who attempted to take the
murderer Halves from the Birming-
ham, Alabama, Jail will probably serve
as wholesale lesson to lynchers.
When men organize to take the law
into their own hands they must suffer
the consequences. The sheriff at Bir-
mingham did his duty. He did not
fire on the mob until he was forced to
do 80. He is the right man in the
right place. Too often in such cases
sheriffs yield up their keys without q
struggle and by their action prove
that they are either towards or in
sympathy with the law breakers.
Lynchings in community where
we have established tribunals to deal
with criminals are blot on civiliza-
ton. The men who composed that
mob in Birmingham were bad citizens
and the sheriff gained great victory
for law and justice.

Mr.. Chamberlain also says that the South

country have been bonded, and in almost
every case where the bond has expired the

ID. II. q ilnAan In the City-A Trip over tho
Road to the Terminus.
ID. IA. Gilman. vice president of tie
Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railroad,
arrived at the Grand yesterday from New
York. He was met here by Paul f. Mohr,
the chief engineer of the company, and to-
gether they made tour of inspection OF
road to the end of the track. returning
last evening. In an interview with RE-
VIEW reporter Mr.. Gilman said he was
greatly pleased with the thoroughness
with which the road has been built and
the progress made. There remains but
Ave miles more of track to be laid to rerch
the end of the grade, which will end con-
struction operation this year. BY the
time the tracklaying is finished the road
will have been ballasted and will make.
Mr.. Gilman believes, one of tho best and
smoothest roadbeds in the country.
Next season the construction will begin
inMarch on the eastern division, and before
fall it is expected the road will have
reached the Columbia at or near the We
hawney river. a distance Of about 125
miles from the present end Of the track.
In the meantime construction work will be
pushed from the Mission, forty-two miles
east from Vancouver and the present west
ern terminus to the British line, q distance
of eighty.ive miles. The Canadian Paci.
fic will build to the boundary line, dis
tance of fifteen miles, where the two roads
will connect.
Mr.. Gilman leaves for Seattle to-day and
will return to the East in n few weeks.

A Minnesota Lumbsrman who Says the
Falls Are the Greatest waterpower.
ID. S. Burns is at the Pacific hotel. He
is an old Minnesota iumberman, and is
visiting this country with view of in
vestine in pine lands, if he can find some
to suit him. He hao had a number of
years experience in hydraulic engineering
and spent q great part of yesterday in ex-
amining the falls and estimating their
capacity as q water power.
He said to q REVIEW reporter last even
ing that he had seen most of the great
water powers in this country, but that the
Spokane Falls exceeded them all in access
sibility. and that it was only matter of
time until every foot of available space
about the falls was occupied by mills and
factories. OF the city Itself Mr. Burns is
full OF praise, and he says the thrift and
enterprise of the people remind him fore
ibly Of the early days in Minneapolis. He
will visit the timber lands In this vicinity
during the next few days.

GIVE US COMPETITION.

1t has repeatedly been demonstrated
that communities are benefited by
railroad competition. We have dis
covered that through competition
freights may be carried profitably at
rates not before dreamed of, II every
economical expedient is used, and
competition will force the roads to
adopt all kinds of economical expe-
dients. This is point the Occur
d'Alene Sun lost sight of when it pub
lshed the following:
1t is now, we believe, settled matter
that the Northern Pacific Railroad Com

most thought the Northern Pacific Com
pany asleep to allow q rival to come with
in stone's throw of it's own line and take
away one of the greatest factors in its
revenue; but the result shows that the
company was wide awake all the time,
and that every movement of the enterpris-
ing enemy was watched and checkmated.
The Northern Pacific has now got the
Ceur d'Alene country all to itself. 1t
sires to push the camp forward, to develop
the mines rapidly. TO swell the population
and increase the business it must give our
miners the very best terms 1t can afford in
the transportation OF ores and freiRhts.
II must build the connecting link between
the Mission and L9ur d'Alene City. and
the present narrow-gauge system must

duct is low grade. Large quantities must
be transported to make the mines pay on
the large investment for their develop
ment. The company undoubtedly sees and
understands this, and we believe the COM
ing spring will prove that it fully appre-
ciates the situation. The survery now be-
ing made through Fourth of July canyon
augur we'll for a direct broad.gauRe road
from Mullan to Spokane Falls next year.
The Washington x Idaho grade from
the Mission to Wallace will in all likeli-
Navigation Company will most certainly
be reimbursed for its construction by the
Northern Pacific.
The REVIEW, as we stated before
when discussing the same subject, has
no fight against the Northern Pacific
railroad. In fact, the company has
done the lions share in developing
this region by building branches
through wild and uninhabited sections
the dividends from which, for the
present, repose where the woodbine
twineth. But it was q business in
vestment, and good one at that, as the
future will tell. We want 10 see more
railroads built. 1t is an evidence of
prosperity, and the more lines there
are the livelier competition will be.
Rates are fixed and unfixed by COM
petition, and the service will be better
and less costly. If the Sun really
wants the country developed it should
encourage the building of competing
lines and friendly spirit OF rivalry
between them.

THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.


Boston held its city election yester--
day. 1t was the last under the old
system which is in vogue throughout
the United States. All future elect
ions will be conducted under the
Australian ballot system. Under that
system the occupations OF the ward
heeler and the briber and corruptionist
is gone. There is no way to reach the
voter save by conviction.
The lessons OF every campaign have
shown us that . change is necessary
in some portions of the country in
the manner Of conducting elections.
Voters are brought up like 30 many
cattle. The Australian system, OF
which We have spoken before, will
come nearer giving us an honest bal
lot than any system or law now in
force, and congress and the states
could not accomplish greater reform
in purifying election laws than by
adopting it.

REASONS WHY.

There is everything to be urged IN
favor OF the admission Of this territory
as a state, and nothing against it.
In population, wealth and progress
we are fully up to the standard. Our
population exceeds by many thous-
ands that of some states which have
been top heavy ever since they have
been organized, having two senators
and one representative, and while our
progress has been steady and sure,
hose states, Nevada for instance, lost
in population and wealth, and cannot
make half the showing we can.
The government throughout has
been carefully administered until we
have established law and justice on a
solid basis, showing that we are per-
fectly able to manage our affairs. 1t
would be worse than injustice to de-
prive people so well equipped and
qualified for self.government OF the
right to have voice in the councils
of the nation. The duty of the repub-
lican party is plain, but we have no
fear that it will not carry out its
promises. 1t has pledged itself to do
justice to the territories, but we urge
that the claims Of Washington are as
important as those of Dakota, and we
should not be asked to wait for any
other.
The reports of the governors of the
various territories just made to the in.
