LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON.

On the strength of certain rumors in
connection with the pending senatorial
contest in California the Sacramento
Record Union says: "The corruption of a
member of the legislature under demo-
cratic institutions is conspiracy against
the perpetuation of civil liberty and an
obstacle to progress in that direction worse
than any treason ever attempted, and
more insidious and dangerous in its effects
than all the opposition which imperialism
has brought to bear"
And it gives warning that if the office of
United States senator is in this instance
put up at auction or obtained by purchase
there is an organized movement TO ascer-
tain the fact and prevent the successful
bidder from enjoying the fruits of his
crime. This from that quarter is refresh
ing and enjoyable. 1t is hoped that this is
not merely a spasm of virtue, but that it
will endure and spread until it fills the
whole land and until the election OF sena-
tors is vested directly in the people.
Let the legislatures legislate, and let
that be their exclusive duty. And lead
them no; into any unnecessary tempta-
tons Divest them of all connections
with elections or appointments, even
to the extent of making the seat
bers appealable to the courts. The
fountain of law should be not only pure,
but above suspicion.

Use OF THE rIKEsoAr.

The proposition to use the freboat Eno-
qualmie to tow garbage scows to the
dumping place in the Sound is one that
requires careful consideration, and the
conclusion arrived at should be only upon
Aprecise knowledge of facts.
Those who oppose the use of the fireboat
for that purpose claim that she might be
absent, With the ill-luck usually attending
such inisbaps, just at the very moment
when the sole object of her being required
her presence. IL a fire broke out on the
water front and gained such Roadway as
TO destroy a large amount of property
while the $4,000 firehoat was off on . gar
bage-dumping expedition, the indignation
it would arouse is not pleasant to con-
template.
On the other hand, it is urged that she
would seldom be at such distance that
she could not as quickly reach point on
the water front as from her dock, and that
even little longer delay would be Offset
by her being already under full head of
steam. 1t is also urged that the exercise
of her machinery would be an advantage
and the saving effected in the hiring OF
tugs would pay her daily coal bill at least.
As her cost for wages alone is 81, 100
month. there is temptation to econo-
mize
The theory Of averages is appealed to as
an assurance that the chances are very
largely in favor of the fireboat being not
more than fifteen minutes distance from
the dock line in an emergency; and Major
Rinchart, of the Board of Public Works,
expresses the conviction that by placing
connections at several points the fireboat
would, in the open harbor and with steam
up. be more advantageously placed than if
docked with her fires banked in case of an
alarm.
twill not do to depend upon theories,
however. There may be advantages in the
proposed utilization Of the Snoqualmie,
but they must be subordinated to the first
purpose of fire protection. The city can
better afford, as the matter now stands, to
pay the additional tax incurred by an ex-
penditure of 500 or $500 a month to hire
ting than to be subjected 10 general in
crease of premiums for insurance. 1t may
be that each can be avoided, but the ex-
pertinent should be made cautiously, and
the project abandoned if it involves undue
risk.

THE IDAHO SENATORS.

The Salt Lake Tribune, in taking Sena-
tors Shoup and Dubois to task for oppos-
ing the nomination of Judge Beatty and
procuring its rejection by the Senate,
makes statements which place the presi-
dent in false light, and fairly considered
are not as respectful as they are professedly
friendly. The Tribune claims that in op-
posing Beatty after his nomination, they
were rejecting not so much upon him as
the president
This is hardly consistent with the indie
pendent powers conferred by the constitu-
tion-nominations on the one hand, con-
firmation on the other-but even if the
Tribune were correct on that point, it is
not justified in assuming that because of
non-agreement in respect to Judge Beatty,
lit will be useless for either of those gen.
tlemen to prefer any request" to the Presi-
dent hereafter.
1t is not possible, nor is it consistent
with his records that because of this or
any similar slight difference President
Harrison viii treat with indignity or dis
respect the representatives of Idaho in the
Senate, whether they be these or others.
And the Tribune is surely not warranted
in saying that in the performance of
official duty the President is "spiteful,"
and as consequence that these Senators
"have taken rom themselves the possible
power to dc their constituents service in
very many ways"
On the contrary, the fair and respectful
view is to assume that the President,
though he may regret that they could not
agree with him, will give them credit for
conscientious motives, and that they will
be alike liberal as to his. This is more
like the President than is the picture
drawn by the Tribune, of Chief Executive
swayed by spite, and Furnishing state
through its Senators for one single disa-
greement in respect TO an appointment.

paratively poor quality, il is claimed by
the home press that they are abundantly
capable Of yielding comfortable and indie
pendent livelihood.
But the eyes Of the ambitious and enter
prising are turned toward the prolific and
inviting West, and others are focking to
the cities and manufacturing districts, al
lured by higher wages and . wider range
Of social enjoyments. But it Is sad to con-
template the decsdence Of the old Bay
State, in which has been craddled 50 much
of the independence and progressive spirit
Of the American people.

The Navy Yard ON Puget sound.


1t has been in the air for some days that
syndicate of Eastern capitalists would attempt
to head off the construction of federal dry dock
on Puget sound. 1t had become apparent that
private dry dock would be a paying investment
ii there was no competition. The government
only takes advantage of private facilities when
it has none available of its own.
The dry dock in this city is the result of pri.
waite enterprise. II there were no other on the
Coast government ships would be compelled to
use ii. But when the dock was so far CON-
pleted at Mare island that United States ships
could use it, there was no reason thereafter why
the government should depend upon facilities
that had been furnished by private enterprise.
There was not the least opposition to the con-
struction OF the federal dry dock at Mare island
1t properly belonged to the equipment OF a CON-
plete navy yard.
What has been accomplished at Mare island
will be done on Puget sound. The government
has undertaken to establish a navy yard-not a
mere naval station. 1t cannot take account of
private enterprise. The attempt, therefore, to
head off the governments plan because a syndi-
cate OF capitalists believe that monopoly might
be secured OF the dry dock business will not be
likely to succeed. The Dominion has already
established dry dock at Esquimalt, near Vic
toria, capable of taking in the largest govern
ment ships In short the naval establishment
at that point has been made very complete
At present there is not q dry dock on Puget
sound that has been established through private
enterprise. Prospectively such an establish
ment is probably good thing. Commerce is
rapidly increasing on the Sound. In this re-
specf there is the beginning of new era. The
more merchant ships, the more need OF facilities
for repairs II has just dawned on the minds of
Eastern capitalists that dry dock on Puget
sound might be made a paying Investment A
large shipbuilding interest has already been
concentrated there. The merchant fleet is to be
greatly augmented. Eastern shipbuilders have
frequently declared that one OF the best places
in the United states for the construction of
wooden ships is the shore of Puget sound Il
may yet appear that the advantages for the con-
struc.ion OF metal ships in that region will be
equally prominent The suggestion to head of
the federal government in its plans for the es.
Enlistment OF complete navy yard on Puget
sound is certainly bold one. II il probable
that merchants dry dock will grow out OF the
very necessities of commerce at no distant day.
and that without any successful interference
with the plans OF the federal government
