ENGLISH POLITICS.

The latest contest for a parliamentary
seat in England presented many features
that appear peculiar to people on this side
OF the Atlantic. It was the first contest
incident to the return of certain Liberals
who in the last general election detected
from Gladstone and who have recently dis
scented from the Salisbury license purchase
bill and returned TO their first love. This
was the case with Game, originally Glad
stonian, who was elected from Q new Lam
cashire district in 1885 on the anti-home
rule platform. polling 1922 votes against
1852 for his Gladstonian competitor.
But latterly Mr.. Game has felt con-
strained to take sides against his new al
lies on the publicans' bill, and having done
SO resigned his seat in order to test the
sense of his constituents on the course be
had pursued. This was the first feature
which seems peculiar to an American. The
question had never been raised prior to his
election, and of course he cannot be con-
sidered to have been pledged in respect to
q member on the ministerial side is consid-
cred bound to follow his party leaders on
new measures that may originate while in
control of the government, which only in a
remote degree holds good in this country.
But Game having resigned and appealed
to the people against the government,
Gladstone eagerly welcomed him back and
urged the Liberals to support him, in
which he was backed by Cardinal Man.
ming. But the Gladstonians turned deaf
ear to their chief and his reverend coad-
jutor. and insisted on running one of their
own number who had never apostatized as
Caine had done. So that there was tri-
angular contest out of which all of the
quidnuncs predicted q walk-oyer for the
straight Conservative.
But to the surprise of everybody, and
the glory of the plucky Gladstonians who
had insisted on straight-out fight for a
straight-up candidate on principle. their
man came out away ahead of the poll, and
the mugwumpish Mr.. Game, the victor of
four years ago, had but beggarly / 200
votes. This feature OF the case shows that
the rank and file of his party were mole
Gladsionian than even Gladstone himself.
and that the Britons are not as ready as
are some classes of our people to be led by
their party leaders into compromises Of
principle on what appear to be the de-
mands of policy.
To give the matter q home application,
it is as though Mr.. Butterworth, of Ohio.
after his late famous speech on the tariff
bill, had voted with the Democrats against
the bill; had then resigned for the purpose
of appealing to his constituents; that then
Mr.. Cleveland. or Carlisle, or Mills, or all
OF them, had urged the Democrats to sup
port Butterworth; that they had refused
and insisted on running straight Demo-
crat with an almost certainty of thereby
eIecting the straight Republican, and in
doing SO had triumphantly elected their
man. From first to last the whole thing is
wildly indispensable, but especially in re-
spect to the manful refusal to make lion
of the Mugwump.

Native Cranberries the Best.
Gihra,far Earv,ar


Talking about cranberry farms in Western
Washington we note the IA that there il a ute
large natural cranberry patch bordering the
fresh water lake which is on the military reser-
walton at the north end of WILDLY island. 1t is
very PR life in its yield of berries, which are
gathered by the neighboring settlers We re-
peat here that the native cranberry OF Western
washington is much superior to the cranberries
in the Eastern States in favor, inasmuch as
there is an absence Of bitterness, and that there
is freshness not to be found In the stale. half.
decayed things that are brought out here By
rail from the East Another advantage il that
the native berry contains almost no seeds. The
Indians in British Columbia gather the berries
aud sell them to white people at rs cents for a
common wooden pail full. We are anxious to
see these native berries more extensively propa-
gated.

SUGGESTIONS FOR WATER SUPPLY.

Il remains stu to be determined
whsthsr Seattle shall continue to
draw her wstsr supply for some years to
come from Lake Washington or whether
she shall draw it from Cedar River. Rock
Creek or soms other remote source. In
common with the general public We have
supposed tor some months past that the
former plan had been adopted, but the
dotnss, or. rather, the delays of the
council, prove this notion to be an error.
Every oct Of the council toward carrying
ont it, professed Lake Washington plan,
hes been performed in such tardy
method and In such reluctant spirit that
the purpose back Of It all cannot longer be
concealed. The council and its engineer
do not intend to carry out the Lake Wash
inston plan ip good faith and will not do
Il So much il plain.
And now II it be desired that this plan
be carried out We must either have Q new
engineer and new council or we must put
the whole water question into new hands.
It would, In the judgment of this journal,
be well to do both. The council has proved
itself ineficient TO the last degree. 1t is
not TO b trusted. because 1t lacks both
capacity and honesty. The water question
shosld be taken from its hands and turned
over to commission of men who can I'm.
dsrstand the public necessity and who have
sufficient skill and sufficient honesty of
purpose to do at once what this necessity
demands.
The public ought to decide ct once to
adopt the Lake Washington plan. There
is no other way to get an immediate sup
ply Of water or any supply at all at q cost
proportionate to the resources of the city.
1t would take not less than three or four
years to bring in water from Cedar River,
and the cost would not fall far short of
four millions Of dollars. The job is too
big for Seattle at this time. What We
ought to do is to make . thorough and
permanent system of distributing works
. system adapted TO q large development
Of the city-and for the next few years sup
ply this system from Lake Washington.
Such system would not be wasted in any
event, for should it be determined at some
future time 10 bring in Cedar River water,
there would be merely the change in the
source of supply. The distribution system
should Be - well adapted for one source as
for another. 1t ought not to take six
months to put this plan into execution.
In the meantime the city is utterly ex.
posed 20 the dangers of FIRE. and the dry
season b upon us. Tomeet this emergency
not less than six stationary engines-similar
10 the Colman engine which did such effect.
i've work In last weeks fire-should be
secured. and placed at intervals along the
city 'front.' They should be connected as
ell times with the waters Of the harbor, and
at eli times should Be ready for instant
service. This win cost some mcney--pos-
sibly Fifty thousand dollars-but II i,
Is not done We are likely to again lose our
city. Fifty thousand dollars for de.
fsnsive preparation would at this time be
we'll spent
And oil this should BE- done AT ONCE.
There 10 hazard In every hours delay.
