AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSITION.

The proposition to repeal the ordinance
which limits the district within which
drinking saloons may he maintained in
this city. is a very improper one, and that
il should have passed the Board of Alder
mem is very surprising fact. There is no
objection on the part of reasonable people
to extension of the saloon limits from time
70 time to keep pace with the widening
business district OF the city. But to per-
Eit saloons 10 be established here. there
and everywhere all over town would be an
outrageous thing. Not only will the
public disapprove of ii, but it viii not sub
nit oft. The scheme is job devised in
the interests of those who make profit by
the promotion of vice, and it is most
Aldermen should, by a vote almost
unanimous, permit it to go through.
Since the Aldermen have thus permit
ted themselves TO be successfully managed
by the whisky interest the public will now
look to the House of Delegates TO
block the game. 1t is the duty
of this body 10 reject this
proposition and 70 do 1t with an emphisls
that will show the whisky interest of Seat
tie that under this new administration It
will be subject TO limitation and control.
Here is an instance of the practical adj
vantage of dual council. Under the old
system, assuming that the Board of Alder
men were the city council, the whisky
scheme would have gone through at one
sitting and it would have been TOO late for
the public to protest

opening his discourse felt called upon to

that his intended compliments were open

said, Tin spite of his modesty, cannot be

have smiled at this association of modesty
with the chairman's name, especially IN
the sense of efforts to hide himself from

Disgraceful Calkins Organs.
olympia Capital,


Of ali the filth that has ever been brought into
a campaign is now being made use by the Ia
coma Globe and its echo on Main street in their
misguided zeal TO boom Judge Calkins for the
Senate. Every paper in the state that publishes
ii preference for Senator Squire is branded as
bought: all Republicans who support Squire
according to these disgusting sheets, are ban
dts, robbers sud boodlers: in fact from the
reading OF their columns, a stranger 10 their
methods could come TO no other conclusion
than that the Republican party was a mass OF
vile corruption. SO violent and bitter have
these Two hirelings OF the Tacoma railroad ring
become in the effort 70 earn their subsidy that
they are willing 10 ieopardize the future success
Of the Republican party that they may attain
some temporary advantage for their senatorial
candidate. II IS q surprise 70 every intelligent
man that reads their low frothings that Judge
Calkins, the man OF brains, does not call a
halt on such groveling support, that can but
lessen the respect TO which he is entitled SIS

olympia Capital: at is ridiculous position
that some OF the papers occupy in opposing SEN

and at another time they hold him responsible
for some appointment that has been made that

Is the Tacoma candidate for United States

thinking that one office ought 10 be sufficient for
a Democrat to hold at one time, asked Judge
Calkins to appoint Republican clerk OF the
court. He refused to do so and retained Steiner,
who is from Indiana. At that time June 1881
the clerkship OF the court was the best paying
Office in the county as all final proofs and final
entries on public land were made before the
clerk OF the court. Mr.. Steiner had TO employ
several assistants in order to do the work OF both
Offices. The case was strongly presented to
Judge Calkins, who told me he had promised TO
retain Steiner. Just few DAYS before the recent
election Steiner circulated letter from promi-
nent msn in Washington, stating that if Berry.
the Republican candidate. was elected to the
legislature, il would retard the railroad from,
building into Wateryille In other words, he
was working in the interest OF the Northern Pa

II ex-Governor Warmoth, OF Louisiana, is cor
rect in his statements about the sugar industry
OF the Southwest, there is likely TO be poten-
tial demand for repeal OF the sugar bounty when
the department reports come in after the first
payments. He says that the trouble is that the
industry is not spread over broad area and
distributed among a multitude of small pro-
ducers, as has been supposed, but for years it
has been gradually concentrating in the hands
OF a few who have grown rich on it and are
gradually growing richer. He estimates that
there is one man in Texas and another in
louisiana who will probably pocket 100000
each from the bounty fund, and there are sew
eral Others who viii get $4,000, $4,000, $4,000
and so on. Probably fifty men will get fully
one-half of the s3,5Oo,o0O which it is estimated
viii be paid in bouuties 10 Southwestern sugar
growers. If so that bounty is certainly doomed.

The Railroad Commissioners of Illinois in
their last report show that there in that state
200 places where one railroad crosses another at
grade, and recommend that interlocking plants
be placed at each of these crossings. II is esti-
mated that such plants viii cost $500 each,
which would make it cost ss,50o,0oo to carry out
this recommendation. They also urge the use
of couplers and air-brakes for all freight cars.
These, it is estimated, would cost SIS 200. 600
These recommendations are generally regarded
as reasonable and just, and yet the cost-eight-
teen and a bali millioas-of complying with
both recommendations would exceed the diyi-
dends paid by all of the Illinois roads, and be-
sides nearly as much as one-hslf the annual in
terest on their bonded debt.

The Helena, Mont, Independent says that the
breeding herd OF buffalo in Missoula county, of
that state, is success. 1t now numbers some
thing over eighty fine buffalo Sales have been
made at 500 head TO Manitoba purchasers, who
are engaged in efforts to establish buffalo farms
in that region. The owners of the Missoula herd
kill one animal each year. selling the mounted
heads at $50 each, and the robes, meat and other
parts at fancy prices. With proper management
even few herds may be made 10 restore to some
extent this fine sample OF native animal life,
but it would take long time to recover from the
reckless slaughter of the past forty years. The
buffalo is well worth preserving, and the exist
ing herds should at least be well cared for until
they may number at least few thousand.

THE SOUTH CAROLINA PLEBEIANs,

In the South, in slavery days. the white
proletariat was regarded by the ruling class
with even more contempt and less tolera-
ton than were the negro slaves. So pro-
nounoed was this feeling that even these
latter turned up their noses in derision and
referred TO the whites who were without
property rs ''poor white trash"
Among the heretofore ruling classes this
feeling has survived the war and its conse-
sequences. To the aristoeratic "old fami-
lies" that have ruled the state from 1876 TO
$50 the chief objection to Tillman and his
following was their alleged plebeianism
and consequent unfitness to control affairs.
And in that state the Alliance strength
and struggle was no less a revolt against
the old aristocracy and their bombastic
pretensions than attachment 70 any new
political principles.
From this point Of view the success of
the revolt seems to be fraught with a salu-
tary lesson. In many respects Tillman
and his followers are treating the country
to an agreeable surprise by reason of their
aptness for governmental affairs, and es-
pecially in an exhibition of conservative
and reformatory tendencies. And in one
recent case they have PCT their arrogant
predecessors 20 shame in connection with
matter involving comparative good faith
and honesty.
