TOO MANY oRDINAScEs.

The decision of the superior court that
one of the ordinances il invalid should be
sufficient to FIX the attention Of the city
council upon the necessity of revision of
city laws. Many of thorn are observed
by common consent rather than by war
rant of law, and every time the city suf-
fers from such defeat fresh encourage
ment is held out to offenders to take adj
vantage of the loopholes.
The powers given cities Of the sixe of
Seattle by the constitution are ample; any
attempt to carry preferences or prejudices
beyond such limits as are established only
serves to bring the city's authority into
contempt. 1t is no defense to be ignorant
Of the statutes, but the higher law of COM
mon sense dictates that they should be
80 formulated that they may be readily
known and comprehended. Municipal
regulations are not necessarily mere
distinction between right and wrong.
They are often imposed in the interests of
. part Of the community strong enough
temporarily to prescribe them. Their
breach may be literal offense without in
volving constitutional turpitude.
Many ordinances have been rendered
nugatory by changed conditions and by
the new charter. They should be carefully
revised, harmonized and codihed. The
city could prosper as well for q few months
if no new laws were passed and the coun-
Gil devoted all its spare time to making
effective those laws which are necessary in
some shape.

The Springfield, Mass. Republican advo-
Gates the repeal of that section of the
revised statutes which excludes from ser.
vice in the United Steies army. in any
capacity. any person who voluntarily
served in the late Confederacy. either in a
military or civil capacity. And it would
even so further and include those who
resigned from the army and went into the
Confederate service. The Republicans pre-
diets that the next congress "will see to
this repeal" 1t forgess that there will
still be Republican majority in the
upper branch of that congress.

{ VIII be a splendid success.

The residence of James K. Polk, Presi-
dent of the United States from iS45 to ls49,
was sold at auction last Saturday to re-
cover tax bill amounting to $500. 1t
was situated at Nashville, Tenn, and BY
his will was decided in trust to the state
after the death of his wife. As Mrs. Polk
is still living this bequest to the state has
not yet gone into effect, but there should
have been enough of local pride and
regard for justice in Tennessee to have
induced . remission of the tax or the
bidding in of the property by public
spirited citizens 1t is safe to say that if
President is ever chosen from this state
his home will never be sold for taxes. at
least not while his widow survives.

THE PRESIDENTS RECEPTION.

There is every indication that the visit Of
President Harrison will be q notable Incl
dent, not only in the presidential tour, but
in the history of Seattle. The committee
on arrangements has started out with a
very cieverly designed arrangement. The
tour of Lake Washington is happy idea.
That beautiful sheet of water is one of the
greatest of Seattle's attractions, and as at
tention to its commercial importance is
desired, the visit wonld be very incom.
plete without an opportunity to see it. AS
to the reception, the heartiness with
which the people of this city cooperate in
any general movement is certain promise
that 1t will be splendid success.

How to Choose Your Newspapers.

The Rutland Weekly Herald which is
just now claiming the special attention of
readers in all parts of the state, as appears
by the advertisement in another column,
says: The Herald believes that every man
in the state should take his local paper In
take more than one printed in his immedi-
ate neighborhood. But with these are need
ed other papers for general or special news,
apart from purely local matters, and the
Herald is entering some new fields TO sup
ply this want. In regard to general news
1t invites comparison with any city weekly,
and it also asks consideration for its more
general Vermont news. Readers will find
that :" ii is the best" in these respects, as in
many others.

WATERLOO, s. c., Especial News has
just reached here that in addition to the
effort to form Tilman county out of Col
Teton and Berkeley, making St. Georges
the county seat, another effort is on foot
to form second new county from other
portions of Coleton and Berkeley, MAX
ing Summervlle the county seat; and
still another effort to hitch the two up
per townships of Colleton, Braxton and
Warren on to Hampton. At the Same
time we hear that many portions of Col
Teton sought to be detached are violently
opposed to this division.
A meeting was held here Thursday and
Capt. G. 9. Tracy sent as delegate to
Columbia to protest against this dis
mcmbcrment of "Old co!lcton." Petitions
are being rapidly circulated, and on
Monday, salcsday, large meeting was
held and large delegation sent to the
Capital. 1t generally understood that our
entire delegation from Collcton, in both
the Senate and the House, stands pledged
against any Division Of the county,
and we will be greatly surprised if these
pledges are not fulfilled

In spite cf the wonderful commercial
aud industrial progress of the United
States, we are still to large extent, says
the Forum using the same soft, dusty,
muddy country roads that served for our
remote ancestors. No organization has
done more to remedy this surprisiD g
state of things than the League of
American Wheclmen; aud it, Secretary,
Mr.. Isaac B. Potter, Of New York, has q
word to say in the FJrum about the evil
and its cure. He considers that the cost
to the farmer, of carting his produce
over the "roughened streak Of soil' that
serves us for +; ,hway, Is No small FAC.
tor in the existing agricultural deprc ssion,
and points ont that the cost of maintain
ing proper public wagon roads, though
great, is more than repaid to the con-
munity in the enhanced value of adjacent
property alone. This position he sup,
ports by statistics. 1t is to be hoped,
adds the magazine editor, that Mr. Potter
and his co.workcrs will succeed in rous-
ing our rural communities to the disgrace
OF condition OF things which makes us
