NOT UNREASONABLE.
Commercial Herald.l

Those who have been assailing the
Franchise Article of our Constitution,
on the grounds that II would be OBJ
jected to by the Northern press, are
greatly in error. The best portion OF
the press of the whole country is
watching with great interest the result
of the attempt to solve tho race ques-
tion, and the unfair criticisms have
been very few. On the other hand
some of the ablest aud best papers In
the country think we have acted WISE
ly and patrictically. Harper's Weekly
refers to 1t as follows:
"In Mississippi the new Constitution,
which went into effect on the lst oi
November, requires as a qualification
for voting that the voter must pay all
taxes which have been legally de-
mand of him for the two preceding
years, and poll tax of two dollars fol
the support of schools, and that Dc
must sbe able to read any section IL
the Constitution Of this State, or h'
shall be able to understand the SAINT
when read to him, or give a reasonable
Interpretation thereof These are mo-
unreasonable requirements, and they
are described as the first effort OF
deliberative body to solve the rac'
question.

many white voters as well, aud 1t un

He Is Marched From Pillar to Post by
"A Nervous Depufy


Robert Morrison. of Bothell, was brought TO
the sheriffs Office yesterday by BotheIl deputy.
Morrison, who is a heavy, husky fellow was
Nas bound over 10 the superior court by the
Bothell justice of the peace for sinsulting

the prisoner, and although he wore a big revolver
on the outside of his belt and was otherwise
armed 10 the teeth, he seemed twice as frightened
as Morrison.
The deputy had no commitment from the
justice and the sheriff referred him to the prose-
cutting attorney. The sheriff would not leave
his prisoner behind, and ordering 10 20 ahead he
followed, and the pair finally found themselves
In Mr.. fishback law Office on the third floor OF
the Butler block.
"open the door," commanded the DEPUTY. who
was nervously marking time about three Yards
behind the prisoner, while he had both hands
ON the handle of his revolver.
Morrison opened the door.

Good News From Financial Centers-A
Bankers Opinion.


l. w. Enfz, of this city, agent OF the Jarvis
Conklin Mortgage Trust Company, yesterday re-
ceived sdyiees that will be hailed with joy by
those who are watching for signs of promise in
these dark days of financial stringency in the
East For ST., months the company has refused
TO make an time loans whatever. Yesterday,
however, Mr. Entz received from the companys
headquarters orders to recommence making
loans. This is the most hopeful indication of
an improvement in the financial market that
has been received. Mr.. Entz also states that he
has advicos from other clients, stating that they
expect money to be plentiful after February /.
Money seems to be somewhat easier" said
Major J. X. Hayden, manager of the Peoples
Savings bank, yesterday. .'sinee Christmas peo-
pie have evidently been taking the coin out of
their stockings and putting 1t in circulation. 1

East Is really going to be benefit to the North
west, that 1t viii bring money here
at may as well be taken for granted that men
where they will stand chance of getting ex-
traordinarily large returns. You cannot wholly
check the buying OF stocks and bonds on specu-
lntion; but at such time as this men are little
bit afraid 70 go into Wall street. They don't
know exactly how things are going to turn out.
There is a feeling in the East, however, that
money put into the state of Washington is pretty
sure to have large returns. Consequently, the
men who are afraid of Wall street are looking
this way for which is SAFE but upon which at
the same time they can realize heavily.
sit is a curious fact that within the last month
have had several letters from Eastern friends
men who are accustomed to so into Wall street,
but they have been frightened out, and must
put their money somewhere

A PORT TOWNSEND ENTHUSIAST.
Mr.. T. j. Notion Is Eloquent in Praise
of the Key City.

Mr.. T. J. Notion, OF Port Townsend, was in
the city yesterday. He is one of the leading
merchants aud bankers of his city, and one of
the principal owners of the recently constructed
gasworks there. In speaking OF affairs in Port
Townsend to a reporter Of the PosT-INTELLI-
GEScER, Mr.. Notion said: 81 think the citizens
OF Port Townsend will refuse 10 grant to the
Oregon improvement Company an extension of
time for the completion of the Port Townsend
d Southern railroad. The most of the sub
scribers, including those who made the heaviest
donations to the cash and land subsidy, are de-
cidedly opposed TO the extension. We expect
very busy time in Port Townsend next year.
The contractors are now actively pushing the
construction of the walls of the new
custom house, for which congress has appropri-
ated $4,000. The county has sold it's issue Of
$4,000 worth of per cent. bonds at par, and the
school district has negotiated 100000 worth of
bonds at sc, which insurcs the construction of
our 100000 courthouse and our splendid new
school building The dry dock company has ac-
cepted the bonus raised by the citizens and will
soon begin the construction OF floating dry
dock at cost of $4,000. The Puget Sound Iron
Company, owned principally by the Uuion Iron
Works, will in all probability resume work at
their furnace ut Irondale in the spring."

AS TO A SUGAR REFINERY.
Hon. ii. 4. L. Carter, the Hawaiian
Minister, talks ON the Project.

Hon. II. 4. 2. Carter, the Hawaiian minister,
who has been at the Rainier for several DAYS,
Left yesterday for Washington City. In speak
ing OF the financial situation, he said he did not
believe money would be much easier until
spring.
Mr.. Carter was favorably impressed with Seat
tie, and he thinks sugar refinery and beet fac
tory combined would be good thing for the
Sound. The Hawaiian trade with san Fran
cisco, he says, amounts to over $4,000 600 a year
Although the Mckinley hii affects this trade
somewhat by admitting Tree sugar from other
countries, yet Mr.. Carter believes the people of
Hawaii would be pleased to enter into trade re.
lations with Seattle-relations which would be
profitable TO both
Mr. Fred Ward, of the Seattle National bank,
when asked concerning the sugar refinery prn-
Ject, said that the matter would be taken up and
pushed as soon as the stringeney in the money
market is ahated. Mr.. Ward holds that in this
connection paying line of steamers can be run
between Honolulu aud the Sound Tor there *
already talk OF a line between Vancouver and
the Islands.
Mr.. Ward added, touching the sugar question.
that bounty of two cents d pound is offered by
the government on beet sugar manufactured IN
the United states.

THE CUSTOMS BUSINESS.
Collector c. M. Bradshaw Says 1t Hai
Decreased This Month.

Collector c. NJ bradshaw, of Port Townsend,
is at the Arlington hotel. In the course of
conversation last night he said: 1.-The customs
collections during the last month have fallen
very considerably, and they viii be smaller than
of the. fort, in April, 1889. The dwindling is
due to the fact that no ships with general mer-
chandise have come from any foreign port DUR
ing the month. Usually there are two or three
"1he smuggling OF Cinnamon has decreased,
We think, during the last few weeks. Perhaps
the shooting of Chinaman December Is had
something to do with it, though he was shot by
one OF his own race, not by the customs officers.
1.-THE officers under Inspector Fem were
giving chase when the highlander in charge of
the party OF Cinnamon fired twice. The first
shot had no effect. At the second a Chinaman
staggered, and then turned into the bushes
The inspectors discharged one or two shots, but,
as they all testified before the United states
Cinnamon. When they came to the bushes
they found the fellow who had gone into them
dead.
at is my opinion that the new law making
Seattle, Tacoma and Whatcom ports of entry
viii greatly facilitate smuggling. Before that
we could stop any vessels, and put our inspec-
tors aboard at the entrance TO the Sound but
Then when once he is in the Sound he can land
slnuggled goods at points along the shore, or
drop them overheard and have them picked up
by boats previously arranged for.
II have received letters from steamship conn.,
panies asking if, under the law for SUPPORTS of
entry, passenger vessels can run from Van
couver or Victoria direct to Seattle without
have answered that so far as know they
can

DOWN GO THE RATES.
Sweeping Reduction Ordered
i'm Insurance Premiums
ON DWELLING HOUSES FIRST.
A Cut OF 20 to IS Per Cent. on Resi-
dence Property-Business Blocks
Will Follow Suit.

The ong-promised reduction in fire insurance
rates has at last come into effect and it Is gen.
erai and sweeping. The Seattle members OF the
Pacific Insurance Union yesterday re-
ceived from headquarters at San Fran
cisco a circular dated December &c,
announcing that from that date the
tariff rates for all property within certain limits
viii be those in book of rates No. s. instead OF
book OF rates No. A. as hitherto. The district az
fected is almost the whole residence portion OF
the city. The change, translated into plain
AngloSaxon, is a reduction in rates ranging
from % to IS per cent IL win amount to about
20 per cent on detached dwellings and about 20
per cent on ranges of dwellings The district
within which this reduction applies is as fol-
lows:
"From the intersection OF center line OF Powell
street to and along the center line OF Ellsworth
street, continued through Lake Union to and
along the center line of Amy street, to and
along the center line OF Hailnm street To the in
fersection and along the center line OF Willie
street, thence southeriy along the center line OF
Willie street to and along the center line OF Kin
ney street, to and along the center line of South
Fourteenth street to the intersection of the CEN
Ger line OF Jackson street, thence westerly along
the center line of Jackson street to the inter
section by the bay
The circular continues: "Book of rates No. 4,
with the exception of the ten feet break OF range,
tnhli DC laIiH tOF III fiSkS lptdtIu bNtsluc Tue
limits Of the above described district not
specially rated and within the present city
limits" Book No. contains the rates which
now rule.
The other clauses OF the circular renew rules
which already exist.
This reduction does not apply to the business
section OF the city, within the fire limits. W.
NJ Calhoun thus explains this omission:
within the fire limits the buildings are princi-
paliy of brick aud stone and each one has a
special rate. The arrangement of reduction
for this section necessarily takes time, for 1t can
not be done on percentage basis. Some build
jngs will probably have greater reduction than
Others on account of their general construction,
accessibility BY the fire engines and fireboat
and occupancy. The reduction will probably be
about 10 per cent. on the general run OF build
1ugs In the business section
The calculation OF these reductions and their
Endorsement on the policies will involve large
amount OF work in the insurance Offices during
the next few weeks. The reduction viii also
prompt large amount of additional insurance,
so that there Is plenty of work ahead for insur-
men.
