the design, and ii ~ safe to say that
In no Eastern city can there be

that the stone of which IL Is COM

slab of marble which will bear The
legend "WashingtOn Bank" 1t
would be impossible to give a des-

much less of the building itself, but

OF knowing that the new structure

The President was unfortunate in
the selection OF the subject matter of
his last message. It has made sn
excuse to turn congress into debat-

parties seize every opportunity OF
expressing at leugth their views on
tariff, mach to the obstruction of the
regular order Of business. 1t Is all
we'll enough to circulate few point
ers upon the main issue upon which
the coming presidential campaign
promises to hinge, but exhaustive
analysis and wholesale lying should

have been frequently compared with

spirit OF push has manifested itself
among our residents and II PERSISTED
In will result In the same good ie-
suits as have awarded the hard work
OF Denverites. There is no good rea-
son why city equally as large as
Denver should not spring up here.

the increase In growth will be even
more rapid In the future than In the
past. II the same ratio Of progress
sion that marked the growth OF 1887
can be kept up. within very few
years Spokane Falls will even lead
Denver. It is not impossible. A
few years ago II 1t had been predict
ed that Denver would grow to its
present proportions the man bold
enough to have advanced the idea

ELSEWHERE is pu uhlished an article
on the woman suffrage act taken
from the Murray Sun. 1t Is given
space not SO much for the purpose Of
recalling attention to II very unpleas-
ant subject, IA to show the views OF
the people Of NOither" Idaho, and
to draw attention to the special legis
lative feature of the bill The Sun
Is informed that the bill Is correct IN
published and that women are ex.
cused from doing Jury duty. II Is
believed In many quarters that the
Suns position on the question OF the
cOnstitutionality OF the law Is well
taken. The reference made to the
prohlbitory act OF congress bears
upon the act approved July 80, 1886,
entitled IAN act 10 prohibit the pas
sage Of local or special laws in the
territories Of the United States, to
limit territorial Indebtedness, and
for other purposes" In which this
prov vIsion appears, after enumerating
a number OF cases: 'In all all other
cases where general law can be
made applicable no special law shall
be enacted In any OF the territories
Of the United States by the territor-
ial legislatures thereof" The woman
suffrage bill may not be so construed
~ to bring II under the head of "spe.
cial legislation," although IL il not
impossible that the courts may take
thut view Of II.

As soon rs spring opens there will be
such demand for mill products that

inadequate TO supply material. The
experience Of last summer will be
repeated II the factories do not
greatly increase their capacity.
