The Election Law.

Everyone was delighted with the machin-
cry of the new election law. The Occupa-
ton of the heeler is mostly thing of the
past. Quiet and order prevailed at the polls
and the amount of idling done around the
polling places was comparatively small.
All parties agree that the law should be
amended and prevent the distribution of
tickets outside the booths. In Owosso
township all tickets were kept in the booths
by mutual agreement of the political parties.
An amendment to the law so as to facilitate
the counting is also imperatively demanded.
If the straight tickets could have been
counted the result in Owosso city could
have been known by D. IN.

The TINES is disappointed. We have
nothing to conceal In admitting sweeping
democratic victory. In studying the reasons
for the defeat In national matters, the natu-
raj disappointments resulting from the dis
tribution of patronage, from the highest fed
eral Office to that of census enumeration, has
been a most potent factor. Since the time
Of John Quincy Adams no change of admin
istratiOn has been able to maintain its ma
iority in the house of representatives during
the second year of that administration.
The passage of the Mckinley tariff bill
and the Silver bill were wise measures
whose effects have scarcely yet begun to be
appreciated. When these measures have
been laws fol. two years, even their enemies
now will then concede their blessings.
On state issues the Republicans dis
regarded the maxim of the party, ''That we
expect no help from the saloon element
The majOrities of the Republican party nat
urally comes from the quiet homes of the
intelligent farmers, mechanics and trades
men and from the professions. When the
hope was held out that the Republicans
would cut into the saloon element of Wayne
county and the large cities would swell the
Republican vote, it was an idle hope. Burt
ran ahead of his ticket i'm Wayne county in
1888, and Winans in 1890. When the Re-
publicans discard the best elements and seek
companionship with the worst, they are
doomed to defeat. In county matters the
partial democratic victory was achieved by
an alliance that can succeed but once. The
manipulation of the patrons movement
brought some agitatOrs to the front who have
not the ability to maintain the organization
whose purposes they have prostituted; and
having made the canvass on misrepresenta-
ton is sure to react. The sudden elevation
of some county officers and Legislators will
be marked by their sudden decline. There
is nothing about political freaks to excite
but curiosity, and there is nothing sooner
satisfied than this same curiosity. The cam
paign for 1892 must be begun at once. Re
publieanism is matter of education, dem
ocracy of indifference.

SOLUTION OF THE HARBOR PROB.
LEN.

For several DAYS past q committee of the
Chamber of Commerce. with Mr.. Jacob
Furth at its head, has been studying the
harbor line question; and the results of its
labors were presented last night at full
meeting of the chamber and we're accepted
and heartily Endorsed. The recommends
tion which thus bears the approval of the
Chamber of Commerce of Seattle is an i'm
portant modification of the scheme pro-
posed by the harbor line commission. Be-
ginning one mile north from the northern
boundary of the city it follows almost ex.
actly the line laid down by the commission
until Union street is reached. From this
point it is drawn southwark along the CITY
front, cutting off the ends of few of the
longer docks. but for the most part leaving
the present Improvements untouched. In
stead of swinging in o semi-circular line
around the haroor towards West Seattle il
turns sharply to the south on the east side
of the main Duwamish channel, running
thence to the shore. Starting again from
the shore line on the west side of the
Duwamish channel it proceeds north to
deep water, thence veering to the west
toward Yves, Seattle.
This is a fair solution of the harbor line
controversy, and it. or something like II.
ought to be accepted by the harbor line
commission. 1t fully meets the letter as
well as the spirit of the state law, and it
preserves in absolute integrity the author.

city. Furthermore it protects the channel of

MAGIC MONEY MAKING.

The secret OF making money in specula-
ton has been very succinctly impaired to
the public by the Wizard OF Wall street,
who says It consists merely of "buylng
stocks when they are cheap and selling
them when they are dear" He has been
applying that simple method during the
past two weeks. When prices were down
to point which appalled, most men, Jay
Gould was buying them. 1t is said that he
invested 100000 in securities at time
when panic-stricken public was flinging
them upon the market. Now that
the furry is over. Mr.. Gould says, with q
wisdom based upon matchless truth,
that prices are bound to RISE" Following
this indication, thousands of spectators
will begin to buy. and by their own act the
value Of securities will gradually rise to a
point which will induce Mr.. Gould to let
them trickle through his fingers into the
eager palms Of buyers.
The probability is that the purchasers will
make profits. Mr.. Gould certainly will,
and those who do as he does can never
fail. 1t is part of the creed of Wall street
that Mr.. Gould never tells q lie. He is
often silent, but when he makes pre-
diction it never fails to be realized.
His enormous wealth gives him such COM
mand of the stock market that he can al
most always succeed in what he under
takes. although he is compelled sometimes
to exercise patience.
His example may not be such as men
should follow, nor his commercial course
such as many can emulate. but the man
and his methods are an interesting study
to those who do not dabble in speculation.
