about the chinook have positive
proof Of its reality and it, cutting

The wind that blew so gaily all day

secms to have had an exist
ence from time immemorial,
since in the days OF King Solomon
the ''hewers Of wood" were classed
with the drawers of water" and
ranked below the mason. These
conditions, while they may work u
hardship upon many an humble
home, owe their existence TO the re-
lentiess law Of supply and demand,
and to the further fact that the car
penter is enabled to obtain steadier
employment than is afforded other
mechanics in the building trades.
The danger pointed out by the
REVIEW few days ago was in n dis
position on the part Of certain agi-
tators to demand general advance
In wages, regardless Of the fact that
In a majority Of the building trades
higher wages are being received In
Spokane Falls than elsewhere. The
people OF Spokane Falls, the men
who are rebuilding the city, are
struggling under IA heavy burden.
They have formed their plans and
incurred liabilities upon a
basis of the payment of
fair wages to the army of
mechanics now given employment
here, and they naturally object to
the exaction Of more than il right
They are willing to pay as much, In

further demands not based on rea-

In the case of the mechanic whose
misfortunes have been 40 clearly
outlined by "a Carpenters Wife"
II is seen that the husband was

Idle for nearly one-fourth Of the year,
not from lack of employment, but

South Carolina Election Laws De
clared Unconstitutional

The majority report in Miller against
Elliott in the seventh South Corolina dis
trict was submitted to the House committee
on elections this morning. The report de-
clarcs the entire South Carolina registra-
tion and election laws as unconstitutional.
The State law imposes restrictions upon
the exercise of right of suffrage which
are in conflict with the State constitution.
The constitution deprivcs a person of
the right of suffrage only upon conviction
for murder, felony. duelliny, treason, and
the State law prohibits the exercise of the
right OF suffrage by persons entitled to
register in 1871 and neglected to do 40 by
those who moved into the State and neg
lec.ed TO register at the frs. ensuing regis.
tration. and by those who have sold their
registration certificates for valuable con-
sidera'ion. A number Of negroes are COM
pelled by poverty to negotiate their certifi-
Gates to traders. who Immediately send
them to political headquarters, with the re.
the result that the negroes are disfranchised.
The report recites the fact that in certain
