HUMANE LAWS.

The Seattle Humane Society has been
greatly retarded in its work by the lack of
adequate laws for the protection of animals
against the inhumanity of men. The
state law on this subject isv very inadequate
and loosely drawn. The society has sue
ceeded in obtaining one conviction under
it, but it is exceedingly difficult to make
out a successful case. There is no city
ordinance whatever on the subject, and
all the cases that have been taken into
court have been brought under the state
law, inadequate as it is.
Prosecuting Attorney Miller and his as
sistants and Chief of Police Rogers have
always been willing and ready to cooper
ate with the society in its work, but they
have been greatly embarrassed in their
efforts by the lack of satisfactory laws. The
city council, however, will soon be asked to
pass stringent ordinance to govern the
treatment of dumb brutes. 1t is hoped
that such an ordinance will be passed
without opposition, and that the officers
of the law will soon be in position to
deal more effectively with the meanest of
all offenders, the cruel master.

TIME TO STOP.

II IL time to stop steamboat racing on
the Sound. This practice has little to
commend it. 1t is highly dangerous and
1t interferes sadly with regular traffic and
with the arrangements of the travelling
public.
From time to time in the past steamboat
racing has become epidemic on Puget
sound. Sometimes these epidemics start
without apparent cause. Usually, how
ever, they follow closely the arrival of
some new vessel. For time there are
loud claims on the part of the friends of the
various steamers supposed to be fast There
are numerous trials of speed, and then
the excitement subsidies, leaving nobody
satisfied that his favorite steamer has been
fairly beaten or that the tavorite steamer
of anybody else has developed extraordin-
airy speed. All the time that the series of
contests is in progress the interests of the
travelling public are treated as of minor
Importance and not to be taken into &C.
count.
attended with danger nobody doubts.
Every part OF boats machinery is
strained to secure for her as much speed
as possible, and the pressure of steam car
ried is often much greater than either the
law or the dictates of prudence allow. 1t
is not right that life and property should
thus be jeopardized in foolish contests
which seldom have satisfactory end or a
definite result.
1t is time for steamboat racing to stop.

present is to permit him deliberately to
obstruct public business. The attorney
general of the United States asserts the
constitutionality OF Mr.. Reeds ruling on
these grounds.
The provision in the constitution authorizing
4 less number than quorum OF the House to
enforce the attendance OF members enough TO
make quorum is only inselligible on the sup
position that the mere presence OF the suineiens
number in the chamber was enough TO make q
quorum, whether these members answered to
their names on roll call or not; otherwise the
refusal OF members to answer would make the
power OF the House over its own members nuga-
tory. A further argument Is based upon the
common law, which ii is asserted provides that
in legislative body "the presence OF q quorum
validates the act OF its majority as the act OF the
entire body" How the House shall ascertain
the presence OF quorum is for II to determine.
and any way il may determine Is, in the absence
OF constitutional stipulation, legal.

DECAY OF THE AMERICAN MARINE.

The United States commissioner of nav
igation recommends abrogation of the
treaty'with Great Britain which prevents
the building of armed vessels on the lakes,
and the repeal of the act of 1852, author
izIng the naturalization of foreign vessels.
While the decay of our American marine

the Canadian government has increased
the 100000 annual subsidy it offered for
the purpose of establishing fast line of
steamships TO cross the Atlantic 10 run in
connection with the Canadian Pacific rail-
way. The subsidized line on the Pacific
ocean has cut deeply into the trade of San
Francisco, and our own Pacific railroads
and the Halifax line may do the same
thing with the trade between the Atlantic
ports and Chicago.
On the other hand orr naval and mail
subsidies are so small that the Interna-
tional Navigation Company, the only

A nation that is paying sl5o,oOo,ooo a
year to British steamships for doing its
carrying trade might well afford to spend
few millions in liberal subsidies and res
cue half of this carrying trade for our own
steam marine. The secretary Of the navy
recently said:

hardly steamship flying our flag has left the

SEATTLE, SATURDAY, DEC. Ie.

The commercial policy of Germany as
laid out by Chancellor Won Caprivi Is in
tended as, in manner, an offset to the
Mckinley law. Won Caprivi declares:
We wish the countries OF Europe to preserve
their Independence against America. For this
purpose they must unite together. The treaties
Just concluded will give sure guarantee for
the future.
The scheme of the German chancellor is
bold one, but it will not succeed.
Europe cannot unite to escape paying
tribute to America. America has bread

Europe less dependent on America than
It Is TODAY.

tlldt tnc point OF departure IS
so 0e'y marked between our
house and all others.
You will find lots of goods
at other places that you may be
dead sure you a00nt find here.
No, indeed we keep a long
ways from the inhnity Of com
mon stuffs that have only the
seeming of goodness to COM
mend them.
You are not likely to find
everywhere beautiful Plush Art
Squares, 24-inch, in the va
riety of delicate tintings and
rare designs that we now show
you at $3.50.
True, you mayfnd the hashy,
gaudy, Plush Art Squares some
where else for 75c or SI.oo,
and, like as not, the claim may
be made that they are owned
exclusive, SO they are for all
Of us.
You are not likely to find a
wool Cheviot, As inches wide,
in the same choice patterns that
we show you for 25c a yard.
You'll likely find lots of stuff
at 25c yard, but you'll see the
difference between goods Sc
lected with skill, by those who
have the skill to do it, and the
goods chosen for their flash
characteristics only.
1t is doubtful, Oe1y, if you
can find elsewhere such beau
tiful Plush borders, in the soft
est of color tones, so lovely in
figured designs.
The cost here is SI.35 a yard.
You may get something
called by the same name
held exclusive by somebody
for ever so much less than our
price.
You won't find that kind here,
but you will find all that is
good all that is in correct
taste at the fairest prices that
can be made.
Oh yes, its all true. You
won't find the same things here
that you'll see elsewhere.
What we have is altogether
different.
