A Sure Thing

Nobody is losing much sleep over the
threatened doings of the Democratic
house of representatives next winter.
The people of the country are waiting
patiently, with faith that has never
proved frultless, for the democratic ma
Jority In the next congress to seize the
first opportunity to make an ass of it.

ointed.-Chicago Tribune.

There is abundant reason for graft
fication in the election of Mr.. Alex
ander Mckenzie as school trustee by a
majority which, under the circum-
stances, cannot be regarded in any
other light than as severe rebuke to
methods which ought no longer to be
countenanced in the administration of
our local affairs. 1t is mistake to as
sumo that Mr.. Mckenzie was the can
didate of any faction or interest inimical
to the greatest interests here. He did
not seek the place, and there is not the
slightest reason to believe that he will
attempt to use it unduly to advance
his personal interests or the interests of
anyone with whom he is associated in
a business way. If he does do that a
great many people.will be disappointed
in their estimate Of the man.

ated in the name of the state the full
width of 600 feet from the -SehOme
boundary to the little cove between
Deadman's and Jones's points, includ-
| ing within the reserved area the big
ocean dock and warehouse, the Hea-
cock, Woodin and Hill-Welbon docks,
half of the big Bellingham mill and all
of the mill wharf The sage servants
of the state exhibited some considera-
ton for the interests of the Great
Northern and magnanimously re-
Trained from confiscating its roadbed
around the bay. They did, however,
so far Overstep the bounds of any pos
sible authority as to run the inner line
across Deadman's point inside the
patent line.
The reserve strip should not have
been more than about 100 feet in width
and its inner line should have been the
outer limit of the present wharf inn
provements. The action of the COM
mission is arbitrary in the extreme, a
severe blow to established institutions,
a check upon future enterprise and an
unwarranted interference with private
rights as well as public interests.
There ought to be and let us hope there
is some remedy in the courts against
such an high-handed outrage. The
upland owners for themselves and the
chamber of commerce for the city
should promptly record a vigorous
protest.

President Harrison has passed
through the South and has gone
on his way rejoicing, although,
unhapily, just now in distress be-
cause Of the accident to his sister
Mrs. Eaton. We are glad that
his tour through the South was
devoid of a single unpleasant in
cident. AS President of the Uni.
ted States he met with a recep-
tion that illustrates the good
manners Of the Southern people.
There was no exuberance ofjoy,
but there was a kindly welcome
and such hospitality az the rap
id progress ofhis train permitted.
No one mentioned to him that in
his message to Congress he had
urged fiercely and vigorously,and
repeatedly the adoption Of legis-
lation unfriendly to the South.
No one recalled to his mind how
he had brought the whole force
of his administration to be.lr on
Congress to secure the passage of
the abominable and unconstitu-
tional election law. No one sug-
gested to him that the lightning
speed Of his special train was g.
qualled only by therapidity with
which Mr.. Wanamakers'sdepart-
ment had decaprtated competent
mail agents on the southern
routes, replacing them with in
competent persons.
No hint was given that any one
bore in remembrance the orderof
Wanamaker that if the people
could not get along withhis post
masters he would shut up their
Offices and deprive thu people Of
their mail facilities. These sub

Commission, while it had
been discussed among his
friends as Il possibility evel
since the Commission was
created was nevertheless a
genuine surprise to the pub
lie, and the naming of Mr..
Horace Chiffon as his success
sor was a still greater sur
prise. Texans now here speak
in the highest terms of Mr..
Chiffon, but they do not dis
guise their disappointment
at his selection. They think,
and say, that the national
reputation OF Mr.. Mills is
such as should have entitled
him to a refusal of the posi-

dacy for the Speakership his
friends express a doubt as to
whether he would have ac-

does not deny that in GER

lined by one of his friends is
something like this: Senator
Palmer l,1ving denied the

circumstances. it has been
determined by some of the
leading democrats of the
State, with the concurrence
OF Senator Palmer. that in
case it becomes evident that

to the West they will present
and urge the claim 8 of Gener-
al Black for the nomination,
