Broadway.

The week just closed has been busy one
for the Davis Broadway addition. The
people are very weary of the circus fakir
method of selling real estate, and are
growing more and more in favor of the
straight-out. matter-of-fact ways of the
Davis Broadway addition management.
This is shown in the numerous pur-
chases of lots made during the week.
Another fact deserving mention is that
while the lots are offered on very easy
terms, many of the buyers are paying spot
cash, and in nearly all cases more money
is paid down than the sellers call for.
Very few lots have been sold to specula-
tors, while the home-seekers come eagerly
to the front, and pay their money with q
promptitude and energy that show how
thoroughly they appreciate the opportu-
nifty of securing very choice and con-
venient home site for a small amount of
money.
The principal cause of the weeks great
activity is due to the doubling of prices in
the additions contiguous to Davis Broad
way addition. Also, because of the
knowledge that prices of Davis Broadway
addition lots will advance after May1.
Those who buy during April are there
fore certain of liberal profits.
+. j. Monroe & Co., lis James street.
and +. NJ. Davis, 6 Colonial block, have
the property in charge. The Davis Broad
way addition is probably the finest addi-
ton ever made to Seattle, and it is en-
phatically an addition" as the city limit
is the southern boundary of the property.

SAMOA.

The scheme of the Powers to secure
peace in Samoa is not working well. 1t
is given to the Chief Justice sent out to
the islands to declare by official recogni-
ton who is the rightful King, or over
chief. He recognized Malietoa, and the
consular representatives of America,
England and Germany set up a munich
pal government at Apia, with recognition
of Malietoa.
But it appears that Mataafee, who made
such successful resistance to the thick
headed savage, Tamasesse, who was the
dummy for German pretensions, has not
remained true to his pledge to abide by
the authority that restored his uncle to
the throne. His friends have managed to
convince him that he should have been
made King, and small-sized revolution
has in consequence been kindled, in
which. to date, some lives have been lost
and several villages burned. United
States marines captured some of the re-
bellious leaders, and they have been sent
to Jail for six months.
Malietoa is reluctant to proceed against
his nephew, because he is conscious that
any hot assault upon him viii but aug
ment the number and spirit of the in
surgents, who are, as yet, but few.
Throughout the conflict two years ago
Mataafee declared that his sole ambition
was to have his uncle returned, whom
the Germans, upon fimsy pretext, had
deposed, seized and carried to foreign
parts. If now he has himself followed
the example of the rebel Tamasesse,
whose scheme received the condemnation
of the civilized world and reflected dis
credit upon the German Government
which sustained it, the Powers, under the
joint treaty re-establishing the old King
in the seat of authority, ought to seize
the lusty rebel and administer to him
such sharp punishment as will effectually
deter any other of the chiefs or sub-chiefs
from attempting to interfere with the ex-
listing form of government

WAS THE REVOLUTION IN CHILE
JUSTIFIABLEf

There have been advanced so many di-
verse theories and statements concerning
the recent revolution in Chile that the
views of Captain Jose Ma. Santa Cruz, an
intelligent Chilean, late commander of
that remarkably effective monitor, the
Huascar, will be received with interest
and will obtain much credit.
He says that Chile had for more than
half century enjoyed peace and tran
quillity within her borders, and her citi-
Zens, realizing that the uninterrupted
progress and prosperity of their country
were owing to this fact, were determined
to maintain peace at any cost. They had
before their eyes the example of their less
fortunate sister republic in South
America, whose slow development has
been due to the instability caused by her
frequent revolutions. Balmaceda, who
knew the Chilean citizens Unborn abhor-
renee of revolution, took advantage of it
TO abuse the powers conferred on him.
and attacked the most cherished rights of
the people, such as their right of public
meeting, the liberty of the press, and
their electoral right. All the administra-
tions under the rule of honest Presidents
had been so free from corruption that the
people believed implicitly in the honesty
and good faith of the magistrates; and il
was not till convinced that Balmaceds
was determined to name his own success
The record-union., 1891-10-10

scr, in case he coald not, even against
constitutional provisions, perpetuate
himself in Office. that they came to sus-
pect that the determination was prompted
by his anxiety to screen himself from the
exposure which would result in case his
successor was freely elected by the peo-
pie. This insistence on the part of the
President that he should name his sue
cessor was what led the different parties
to unite against Balmaceda, in order to
insure to the people the free choice of
their candidates.
This corresponds with the most intelli-
gent views entertained in the United
States during the recent conflict, and
which beliefs gave form and force to the
sympathy the great mass of our people
felt for the insurgent cause.
Captain Santa Cruz says that so far as
boast that the officers had kept them
selves free from ardent political conflicts.
But when the time came when the citizen
loving his land could not remain passive,
these men felt it to be duty to contend
against domestic enemies as great as to
defend against foreign foes-the Consti-
tuition had been trampled under foot, and
they held it to be their duty to defend it.
Congress was bound to provide annu-
ally for the strength of the navy; Balma-
ceda disbanded that deliberative body
before it could perform it's duty, and
without such a law the navy had no legal
existence. The Attorney General had
so decided and the Supreme Court
affirmed the decision and released officers
Balmaceda had imprisoned for refusing
to pledge themselves to do his bidding
unquestioned.
When affairs reached this stage Balma-
ceda drove out the Supreme Court and
issued a decree that he would maintain
the army and navy without authorize
ton, and would spend the public moneys
as he pleased. The navy refused to
accord obedience to this policy, sent for
the officers of the Senate and House to
come on board, which they did, and q
provisional junta was established.
Thereupon Balmaceda announced him
self Dictator and the contest began. The
world is well informed as to what fol-
lowed. The only question at all open to
dispute is whether the resort to revolt
was justiiable, whether the loss of life
and property that followed might not
have been prevented and Balmaceda's
schemes have been thwarted by peaceful
means.
Captain Santa Cruz, we think. success
fully replies by the tenor of his article to
these suggestions. Peaceful means are
ineffective against tyrannical usurpation
of power where the army is under the
domination of the chief who seizes upon
the liberties of the people.

THE CITY ELECTION AND THE
BALLOT LAW.

The election for School Directors in
Sacramento is to be held the first week in
December. It must be had under the
new or reform election law. To the end
that there may be no misunderstanding
among candidates, officials or voters, the
RECoRD-UNIoN presents this morning all
such parts of the law, with omission of
legal verbiage only, as apply to muni-
cipal elections, to the registration of can
didates, the nominations by political par
ties, the giving OF notices, the prepara-
ton of ballots, the printing of sample
ballots and cards of instruction, the form
for the erection of polling booths, the
method of using the official or blanket
ticket, the detail to be observed in receipt
ing for ballots, preserving the secrecy of
their contents, the counting of the votes,
ETC.
The article is followed by a sample
ballot in miniature, as the RECORD UNION
reads the law, which is clear and unmis-
taxable. Since the enemies of the reform
ballot system have not wearied of their
opposition, nor abandoned their inten-
ton to break down the new law, it is to
be expected that they will do their utmost
to confuse matters at the coming election
with the hope to create dissatisfaction
among the people regarding the law. 1t
is, therefore, of the highest importance
that the city officials bearing any relation
to the new law should study it carefully,
that they may make no mistakes in exc
cutting it.
The article in another column NAV
assist them and all voters in obtain
ing an accurate knowledge of the new
methods of nominating and of voting.
The friends of the system do not intend
to relax their vigilance in promoting the
law; they labored for it's enactment for
years, and will jealously watch over its
faithful execution. For some unex-
planned reason, test of the law had in
Oakland last spring was so badly man
aged as 10 be shameful. The chances are
that the ill-doing was purposeful, as for
instance, the wide separation of the bal
lot booths from the ballot-boxes. We
do not anticipate any such attempt to
discredit the law here, on the part of
officials, but they may fall innocently
into errors if they have not studied the
Ballot Act and inquired somewhat into
the methods of preparation observed
elsewhere where similar laws are in
force.
There is economy to be conserved, also,
by early preparation. The pollinglbooths
