The senate committee now visiting the
Sound had q session at the Tacoma hotel
the other evening. and G. u. Prescott, the
efficient and scholarly Official OF the North
ern Pacific Railroad Company, appeared
before the senators and INDUCED in some
interesting remarks concerning the COM
petition between American transcon'
tinental roads and the Canadian Pacific
His remarks we're such as to appeal to the
patriotic pride of every American. and
this is the strongest side of the American
nature that can bs enlisted in any just
cause.
Mr.. Prescott referred to the fact that
the Canadian Pacific had been heavily
subsidized by the British government In
order that that country might have the
line for military protection, and yet 1t
could not be operated but for the support
II receives from American shippers. He
thought it unfair that the American gov
eminent should hamper her own trans
continental lines with legal restrictions
such as the long and short haul clause in
the interstate com merce act unless our
govern ment was ready to protect American
roads against this foreign competitor by
doing rs much for domestic roads as the
British government does for the Canadian
Pacific.
These remarks Of Mr.. Prescott contain
a strong appeal to our home sentiments
and pride. and take vigorous hold upon
our strong, native sense eff justice and
fair play. But viewed from a Spokane
Falls standpoint this patriotism Is a trihe
labored and uphill in it's tendency. In
the makeup of traffic rates by the great
American road that passes through here
this city is not given due credit for its
geographical position. In passenger and
freight trsffics Spokane Falls pays an as
tonishing proportion of the yearly earn.
ings or the Northern Pacific road
and yet other towns west
and east Of here receive
better schedule rates than this city. Our
people would much rather patronise the
Northern than to ever receive goods
brought across the continent by q foreign
corporation, but self.protection is one of
the FIRST laws of nature, and this city de.
mands no more and will feel content with
no less than its just rights. As long as
Spokane Falls is Disseminated against
and is not given rates to and from the
East in proportion to the distance the
people here will look " ith favor upon any
promised relief. whether by the Canadian
Pacific or any other competing line.

kept az large stock of goods and as we'll
assorted, az NAV be found In any
store in Spokane Falls. There is u aues--
ton, perhaps, whether the town proposed
for this northern mining section will be
located finally at Looms Store or at
Wanacut Lake. Certain II is that its
name will be Golden, 10 respect to the
character OF the metal that has been found
there 10 abundance, "All that nlitters ia
not god--often you have heard that told !;
many a man in his life hath sold-but my
outside to behold" But the Bard Of
Avon little did he dream Of the famons
Wanacut Lake region. where the
faUled CDsus might SIT en-
throned in regal spiendor, and call
his votaries to behold the vastness OF his
store. One year from the present time
will witness in that vicinity a wonderful
RrOwth--the growth Of town larger than
that of Murray and Wardner copjoiued.
The prospect for the output Of gold alone
jus'ifes this statement. All interest ia
centered there, and a determination is
evinced to have things moving toward
such consumation at an early day--a
day within the present summer.

TENURE OF oFFIoK PROBLEM.

One of the most interesting propositions
now occupying the attention of the people
is whether the county officers elected last
fall. under the territorial organization,
shall hold over under the state organiza-
ton, or whether their offices shall be de-
clared vacant and reilled at the general
election for state officers. Strong argu-
ments might be advanced in opposition To
a sweeping change in all state and county
offices at the same time, and yet any
other course would involve another election
next fall, ut great expense to the people.
As a rule 1t is desirable to con-
solidate elections as much as pos
sible, to avoid expense and the
disturbing agitation incident TO frequent
campaigns, which certainly has de-
moralizing effect on commerce and the in
dustries of the country. The argument
that the judiciary and questions affecting
the schools should be segregated from ac-
tual politics Is usually advanced In the
interest of demaoogues and political
quacks who belong to no party and who
are afraid to entrust their candidacy with
the people at time when
full vote is anticipated. Such
men are unworthy to hold any Office, and
it is an injustice to the people to so ar
range the elections as to permit them to
sneak in upon minority vote. Whatev.
er may be determined upon with refer
ence to the tenure of the present county
officers, provision should be made for the
consolidation OF the state and county slec.
tions in the future.

About pronounciat,on--the owner OF the
Derby winner named his horse Spokane
and pronouuces 1t spok'n, like the word
spoke Old Oregonians Of the vintage OF
lS49 and the Indians before them called 1t
Spo .KAN.e. The later settlers call 1t
Spo-KANN, and Eastern people usually say
SPo kane. The right way to pronounce
II is the way which peases you best. An
other instance--New Hampshire emf

aud named one county Coos after Coos, Of
the Granite state. The original Goose is
pronounced Coo.os. but everyone In Ore.

A SENATE COMMITTEE.

The senate committee investigating
Canadian matters has arrived at Tacoma
and will be in that region for while
picking up information and enjoying rides
and scenery. They will perhaps not have
time to visit ALASKA but will make inquiry
into Alaskan fishery matters. They will
also look into the Canadian Pacific carry
ing trade and other business relative be-.
tween the two countries. They will also
ook after Notifications, boundary lines
and sites for navy yards and will have
their observations ready for report by next
winter. After finishing their observations
on the Sound the committee will 20 East
and make further investigations at De-
troit, Buffalo and other points. As they
pass east they might perhaps be- induced
to stop day or 30 in Spokane Falls and
visit lake C9ur d'Alene and other places
of interest. At any rate the MORNING
REVIEW extends them hearty invitation
to 40 80 and it might be we'll for the may.
or and city council and board of trade TO
do the same. The committee is composed
OF Senator Dolph. Senator Hoar, Senator
Allison, Senator Hale and Senator Pugh.

AN IRKEPREssIBLE CONFLICT.

The telegraph brings two items of news
that are twins by natuye. The one relates
to the formation of an American and
English salt trust and the other chronicles
the depredations committed by striking
coal miners in Illinois and the explosion
of bombs aimed at the destruction of
property belonging to the company. Until
some satisfactory adjustment by law is
provided, the unjust combinations of
capitalists upon the one hand and the un-
lawful conduct of striking lnborers upon
the other will continue to uusette the
markets and business affairs Of the world,
greatly to the disadvantage of all classes
of citizens. Both the laborer and the
capitalist should be resolutely and ju-
iiciously restrained and prevented from
the indulgence in extremes. Labor is ex-
acting and dictatorial in these days and
capital is thereby rendered timid as to in
vestment but at the same time agRres-
sive and unfair in its relations
to the general public. 1t is
the province of wise states m anship TO pro-
vide the essential checks and balances and
incorporate them into the laws of the
land. Labor trusts and capitalistic trusts
should both be supplanted by some system
Of legal,zed arbitration or mutual protec.
ton. The longer this problem is delayed
in Its solution and left IN the hands of
capitalized corruptionists upon the one
hand ard labor demagogues upon the
other the greater the difficulty in its ad-
justment upon a reasonable and fair
basis.
1t is understood that the new salt trust
will represent capital TO tho extent of $685.
600, 900. The object Of this trust. as in
ali others of its kind, il in the nature OF a
conspiracy against the people at large.
The resolve is to 80 operate as to prevent
the public from securing the natur
al advantages that flow from com.
petitive market The futile combira cations
of labor upon the other side represent a
sort Of clumsy, unintelli9ent and only
partially successful resistance to the greed
and ayarice of moneyed sharks. Thus we
seem to be slowly but surely progressing
towai d that crisis foreseen by the lamented
Lincoln when he said: II see in the near
future crisis approaching which un-
nerves me, and causes me to tremble for
the safety of my country. As result of
the war, corporations have been enthroned
and an era Of corruption in high places
will follow, the money power Of the couu-
try will endeavor to prolong its reign BY
working upon the prejudices Of the people
until all wealth IL aggregated in few
hands and the republic is destroyed"
This picture by Lincoln 10 perhaps over
drawn; and yet Lincoln was not given TO
the expressions peculiar to An alarmist.
1t is at least q warning voice from =
revered source, which the reasoning peo-
pie who prize the peace, the happiness
and prosperity of this country, will do
we'll TO consider. II is crisis that may
be averted by judioious legislation II

The expressions of opinions by promi-
nent shippers of Spokane Falls, with ref.
erepcs to the subject OF inquiry by the
United States senatorial commission who
are coming to the city this week, will un-
doubtedly be read with n great deal of
interest. The boundary line between com.
merciaI union or International reciprocity
and absolute free trade IL not conspicuous
and hence the difficulty Of pre-
serving that distinction which must
necessarily exist IN q country whose
favorits policy il protection to American
interests. Special and clearly defined re-
ciprocity between this country and favored
nations or countries is not, however, in
conflict with the American policy of pro.
lection and such relations might possibly
be entered into with British Columbia on
the north a. with Mexico on the south,
should such relations be deemed desirable
BY our people and conducive to their in
tsrssts. But the better solution would be
for the British 2ossessions on the north to
become part Of the American republic

THE retiring fourth auditor, c. M.
Shelly. will perhaps return to Alabama.
from which state he went TO congress sew
eral years without being elected, as every
body we'll knew. The selection Of such
uen TO important places in the national
treasury gave peculiar emphasis to the
declaration Of the democratic party of q
belief in fair elections aud an honest
counting If the votes. He was a rebel

been gallant leader in the shotgun

Of fine quality granite from here to dis

fact, that the new state house or capitol

A LESSON FOK GONG KEssMEN.

Thousands OF those who went to Okla
homa in the hope Of securing land for
homes had to 90 away in disappointment.
The lands were too limited to supply oil.
This incident ought TO serve good pur'
pose. It ought to call the atten--
ton of the eastern public to the fact
that millions of acres OF val
liable lands are tied up IN useless--worse
than useless--Indian reservations. 1t
ought to suggest that these lands would
afford thousands of happy homes and
greatly enhance the wealth of the country
and at the same time benefit the Indians
by bringing them into closer relations
with civilization.
This is matter of great interest TO
Spokane Falls. Lying north OF here is
tract Of land as large as an ordinary state.
all of which woald be tributary to this
city it opened to settlement Much OF this
Colvile and Spokane reservation land is
valuable tor farming while great deal OF
it is known to be rich in mineral.
There are not Indians enough connected
with these reservations to occupy tiftieth
part of the land, even If they had the in
dustry or means to make use Of it. Avig'
orous movement shou ID be made to have
these lands and all other lands held in
reservation for Indians in this territory
opened to white settlers. The Indians
should OF course be protected in their
homes and in their right to sufficient lands
for their use. but this should be all. This
is one of the frat vigorous demands the
new state of Washington must make.
