A REAcTIoNARy swINpLE.

The Democrats of the Michigan Senate.
by their late feat of stealing two seats in
that body. despite a previous agreement
that no political advantage should be
taken of temporary absence on either SIDE
have not only failed of their uurnose
thereby TO obtain control of that BODY and
. gerrymander of congressional and legis-
lative districts, but have drawn down
upon themselves the public odium which
those advantages would have barely suf.
6ced to Offset.
Before they took this action the Senate
had stood fifteen Democrats, fourteen Re.
puhlicans and three Patrons of Husbandry
who had acted with the Democrats in the
matter of organization and on general
legislation, but were not liable 10 act with
them on extreme party measures. The
new deal was designed to give the
Democrats seventeen votes, clear major
hy Of the whole body. and make them in
dependent of the Patrons. But one of
their number, a clear-headed. honest and
manly fellow, who is also Patron, repu-
dated the base transaction, expressed re-
gret that such questionable covyses were
deemed necessary 10 assure the supremacy
Of his party in that state in iSa2, and gave
notice that If such ascendsncy was not TO
be retained by strictly honorable means
he would have none of it,
The result is that as to gcrrymanders or
rther dishonest practices the Senate is a

THE vEvoEs.
The Tacoma Papers - Usual with the
Corporations.
Tacoma Ledger.


The Seattle papers are going for Governor
Laughton with some unanimity for what they
call "a sacrifice of the interests Of the state" by
his recent vetoes. The fact f. the governor
simply wiped out . few demagogic measures
that would have been imperative If allowed to
stand; and would have neither helped nor hurt
the interests OF the state or the people of the
state II allowed to stand. The governor has
acted with some courage, but probably ct q
sacrifice of his political prospects, Il would un-
doubtedly have been more polite on his
part to allow these measures to 60 to the
statute books and be erased by the courts, as
they surely would be when occasion afforded
opportunity. He has seen fit, however, to act
where he might have remained passive and
drifted with the current, and 10 doubtless pre-
pared to take the consequences, whatever they
may be.
There has been no sacrifice OF the interests of
the state or people in the veto of either the anti
Pinkerton bill or the WATSON freight bill The
first was designed to prevent Q property owner
from defending his property In case of trouble
with his employees, by any other force
than such al might be furnished by the
state. It was really 20 drawn e. to make
1t Q penal ofiense for q man to hire two
armed watchmen to defend mis- house or his
store against incendiaries or burglars. To for
bid such precautions for the defense of property
would not be likely to enlarge its accumulation
or to induce capital to come here and furnish
employment for our labor It u of the very first
consequences that work shall be provided for
those who come here In search of it, and this
bill would discourage rather than encourage
capital in providing it. The bill was impolitic
and unwfse It was defeated at first and finally
reconsidered and passed by one vote. It il well
1t IL now killed.

Port Townsend Leader: "By his disappFoval Of

thorough study OF the necessities which APP

The exceptional reception which has
been extended the production of sou
Boarding House" at Cordray's throughout
the week bespeaks the general satisfaction
which the performance has given Seattle

has occupied the boards of Cordray's
