what is called the dull season be-
cause the farmers are busy. 1t is
these months and the work that
is done in them which brings
forth the bulk of the business OF
the year. They may be dull months
for the tradesmen, but they are
even to that class the most profit
able. Though the merchant must
be idle, or nearly so, during these
two months, he does not repine,
for he knows that the money for
his future trade is being made
then. Those who do business and
dwell in town should welcome
what is termed the dull season of

many shameful and barharous alliances.
But Sir Chunder. who is doubtless A re.

THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.

Each day strengthens the position of Sem
ator Squire before the legislature at Olym-
pia. Returns are beginning to come in
from the people all over the state, and this,
of course, is a powerful aid to the Squire
canvass. A notable accession to Mr..
Squire's strength was made yesterday by
an open declaration on the part of Senator
Parkinson, of Whatcom county, that it
was his intention to vote for Senator
Squire. He takes this stand in
obedience to what he believes to
be the controlling sentiment in his
county and in accordance with his
own ideas of the best interests of the state.
1t is not doubted by those who have the
best knowledge of the situation that SEN
ator Squire will be triumphantly elected.
The manifest purpose of the Calkins
managers to make deadlock and run in a
new candidate, in the interest of Tacoma,
will not succeed. A sufficient number to
elect Senator Squire have already rendered
to him assurances of their favor.

BAD FOR THE GOLDEN STATE.

In the California legislature the other
day a member objected to the election of a
lady candidate for legislative position on
the ground that This capitol is no place
for decent woman" The member who
made this remark was one who had seen
previous service in the same capacity If
it was not SANDER demanding the expul-
sion or reprimand of him who uttered it,
there is plain implication that there are
no gentlemen in that assemblage, or that
they are too few or too timid to exert an
influence.
If this be true, how about the constitu-
encies7 An infectious or a turbid stream
does not flow from a pure source. There
may be haphazard exceptions, but as a
not, elect blackguards to make laws for
themselves and their state. If in legisla-
ture of i20 members there are not enough
of true and brave gentlemen to guarantee
decent woman against insult or shock
to her modesty while within their halls,
then indeed California has reached a low
estate.
but the AHd IS right. The coarse declar-
alton cast an unmerited stigma upon the
state officers, the legislature and the state.
1t is not TO be believed that there is state
Of the Union. and surely there is not a
state of the chivalrous Pacific coast, whose
capitol is unfit to be freely visited, early or
late. by the most virtuous and refined of
the gentler sex. The legislature of Califor-
MIA owes it to its own good name, and to
the good fame of the state and of the
Coast, to make the maligner eat his
words as publicly as they were uttered.
Such remarks from such sources have
much to do with Eastern misapprehension
as to social conditions in this section.

British Columbia Trappers.


Two trappers arrived here ON Friday night
from hunting expedition on which they had
been absent ffty-five days. One OF them named
Tompkins has been a trapper pretty well all his
life, and knows most of the best spots to hunt on
this coast. They left here in q small boat, and
went up as far as knights inlet, which Is about
225 miles north of here, and then proceeded up
the inlet about fifty miles They were very sue
cessful and secured some beautiful skins They
caught seyenty-fiye beaver, twelve martin, six
otter, and bear. The bear is splendid spec1-
men OF grizzly, and is of enormous size. The
value of the skins and furs is between 500 and
$500, They left Knights inlet for Vancouver on
Christmas day. The weather they experienced
was very stormy, over six inches OF snow being
on the ground at Knights inlet. On Tuesday
next they will leave here for Comax, and viii
shortly start on their spring trapping expedition
on Vancouver island. where they expect 10 prob
ably catch about I75 beaver.

LANGsToN'S AMENDMENT.

Langston, the colored congressman from
Virginia, a few days ago introduced pro-
posed amendment TO the Constitution, pro-
viding for the election of United States
Senators by direct vote OF the people, I'M
der such regulations as congress might
prescribe. Ii would be interesting and
significant if an amendment of such i'm
portance should originate with a member
OF the lately prescribed race. This, how
ever, is not likely, owing to the congested
state of business in congress, and To the
further fact that, thanks TO Malone,
Langston has not been reelected.
But his bill has been made the subject
Of much notice and discussion in the press
of al parts of the country. The idea upon
which ii is based has taken a strong hold
upon the public mind and for years has
been constantly growing in favor. II is
generally agreed that the present method
Is ST variance with existing ideas of re-
publican government, but there are MANY
shades Of opinion as to the extent 10 which
the reform should be carried and the man
ner in which il should be effected.
Some contend that the election OF Sena-
tors directly by the people would give con
troll in selection 10 the great eenters OF
population in theSeveral states, and that
the people of rural or sparsely settled dis
tricts would enjoy but formal privilege of
voting for those thus selected Ii is not
clear how or why this should be
true as 10 the choice Of Senators to any
greater extent than in choosing Governors,
and in the latter case VIGOROUSLY, the rule
does not apply. Ii is seldom that any of
the chief cities of the Union furnish the
