THE VALIDITY OF THE POLICE
COURT.

The decision of the Supreme Court that
the power vested in cities of the first class
to frame their own charters does not in
clude the right TO create judicial tribunal
will not surprise lawyers. The question
has frequently been discussed in the Seat
tie newspapers. and doubts expressed as to
the legality of the police court. Even
while the charter was in preparation the
question was raised as TO the constitution
atty of the article providing for such
court. 1t was thought best by the charter
commissioners to complete the scheme of
municipal government, and appeal to the
legislature TO concurrently create the court
by general law.
The opportunity afforded by the special
session was lost, and an appeal to the Su-
preme Court was then determined upon:
but the city council. busy with the many
demands forced upon its attention by the
new order of things, failed to make provi-
sion for the expenses of an appeal, and
another opportunity slipped by.

with still fewer people than Greece, has IN
army 80 per cent larger than ours. And
Canada, win less than i've millions Of
population mot equal to New York or
Pennsylvania, has . regular army about
90 per cent. greater than that Of the
United States
Even with the enrolled militia Of the
states added orr forces scarce equal the
regular army Of Spain and but little ex-
coed that Of little Switzerland, with her
population not equal to that Of Ohio or
Illinois. and but little greater than that Of
Missouri or Texas. But, a. Mr.. Kipling
says, "it would be madness for any power
The might have made it any coalition Of
powers] to throw men into America; they
would die" His quick eye perceived that
in an emergency, for the defense Of their
country against invasion or foreign aggres-
sion, every man Of the more than seven
million citizens available for military duty
Is soldier in all but name and drill, and
Of these more than a million have seen
service and are Injured to war.
Behind this is the fact, we'll established
by four years Of bitter American expert
ence, that the inspiration which leads to
volunteering affords higher guarantee Of
the safety to the cause that bcgets the in
SEPARATION than is afforded by the training
of q regular army or by any other means.
The establishments at West Point and
Annapolis, together with the army, navy
and militia organizations, are but nuclei
for the inspired force upon which must
ever be this country's chief dependence in
q great emergency.
It has been questioned whether men
who, without the Indictment Of an emer-
gency, enlist for term of years, and thus
make killing at command the business OF
their lives for those years, regardless OF
their own judgment as to the rightfulness
of the cause in which the killing is to be
done, are of that high standard which is
required for truly courageous and devoted
soldiery. The present administration of
our war department seems to have been
impressed with this idea, in that it has,
under the plea Of discouraging desertions,
greatly facilitated the withdrawal of en-
listed men from the service at will, thus to
great extent making the regular army
practically . volunteer force.
In this view, and it is the correct one,
this country's apparent weakness is the
source of its greatest and most reliable
strength. Instead of taxing patriotism
out of the breasts of its people by onerous
burdens to support . standing army, it
leaves them to pursue their avocations as
citizens; to produce, create, build homes
and imbibe lofty love of country which.
when soldiers are needed, will provide it
with citizen soldiery Of whom every man
will be hero and an enthusiast, rather
than mere drilled machine.

IMPORTATION WANTED.

Last night Alderman Korn moved to re-
consider the vote by which the Board
somewhat cavalierly threw out an ordi-
nance passed by the coordinate branch of
the Council after long, earnest and pains
taking consideration.
The action of the House of Delegates
alone entitled the bill to more deliberate
examination. II is the only measure yet
offered which promised to afford the Coun-
Gil the necessary information as to the de-
linqucnt grade taxes upon which intelli-
gent action could be based All others
have proposed to shovel the whole matter
off into somebody else's care. That should
not be done again. at least until the status
of each Of the two hundred districts has
conscientiously carried ont his contract
with the city, hut that is not the point of
primary Importance.
There are questions to be answered
which should be answered by the city's
account books, and made permanent
record.-How many of the delinquent dis
tricts belong to each year since 1888? How
much of the money is barred from collec-
ton by the statute of limitations, or out
lawed by the city's negligence? How
many of the districts are in the position of
South Second and Commercial streets,
where the Improvements are on tide lands?
How many and which are awaiting prom
Used re-assessment like West and Dexter?
How many and which are like Yesler
avenue-so glaringly unjust that no court
OF equity could sustain the assessments?
1t would be ridiculous to order q whole
sale onslaught upon all delinquents in the
law courts until the plaintiff city knows
how it stands in relation to the defendant
taxpayers. An effort has been made to
speak only in whispers the acknowledge
ment that the city's claim in some cases
is insecure; but that is entirely unavailing.
There is scarcely district in which some
lawyer has not been engaged to fight off
payment. and most of them are quite ia
miliar with those in which any essential
formality is lacking.
Judge Strive, in his message as mayor
in 1854, protested against any mere infor-
mality as q plea for evading payment. The
councillors of the territory foresaw the ir-
regularities and omissions likely to be made
by amateur lawmakers in a changing
council, and passed wise law, afterward
incorporated in the charter of the city, de-
claring that where the improvement of
private property was made in good faith
and at reasonable prices, no technical or
vexatious evasions should be accepted by
the courts. The language may not have
been strictly conventional since it seemed
to dictate TO the courts what should be and
should not be evidence, and some of the
courts have so ruled, but public policy
would seem to require that all municipal
proceedings should be based upon . prin-
ciple of such sound common sense.

August q, being q clear day, John Hemp
hill and the writer took another trip
to South Toutle, hunted mountain goats
and took observations. The first IT.
tractive object is . black basaltic ridge
about three miles south of the source Of the
North Toutle and ID about three miles long BY
half q mile wide and is almost perfect in SYM
metry. The rock has been burned to . crisp and
would ring like steel when walking over it In
some places ashes were found on the rock. To
look down on the ridge from the mountain
above 1t resembles . snow slide that has slid
down the mountain for miles and spread out at
the bottom all over the valley. There is the sp-
pcarance of an old crater near the top Of Mount ST.
Helens where the rock has been thrown at some
former period. We found ripe strawberries
above the snow line; also huckleberries differ
ent from any we had found before. They grew
on vines not over three inches high and were
very rich and sweet. We returned to camp de-
cidedly out Of luck. We brought no game a. q
trophy. In the morning those at camp sighted

nine and C. W. Slime each brought one down
with Winchesters. These goats or ibex, 90 some
call them, are somewhat peculiar-they are
neither the Rocky mountain btg-horned sheep,
nor do they exactly resemble the chsmois Of
Italy, aud still they have the resemblance of
both. They have separate horns about eight
inches long, jet black, curving at the points and
very sharp. Their wool 10 white as snow, finer

The figures Of the Secretary Of War, pub
lished yesterday, as to the number of men
available for military duty in the United
States and the number enrolled in the
militia organizations Of the several states,
taken in conjunction with the criticisms
of Rudyard Kipling on the military ca
pacity of the country. the weakness of our
navy and our lack of adequate coast de-
lenses. which was published in the same
issue. make good companion reading and
apply to the same line of reflection.
Compared-as to numbers-with the
equipment of other first-class powers, the
regular land and naval forces of the
United States cut but an insignificant
figure. Germany, with but little more
than two-thirds of our population, has an
army (peace establishment more than
eighteen times greater than ours and the
men in her navy exceed ours by one-third.
Russia lin Europe and Asia) exceeds us
but about 80 per cent. in population. but
her standing army is twenty-six times
greater than ours. her navy more than
treble in number of vessels and with two
and halt times the number Of men. Great
Britain, with about 60 per cent. of our pop
ulation, numbers nearly six times as many
men in the land force of her peace estab-
lishment and about seven and half times
as many in her naval force.
In fact the third and fourth-rate powers
of Europe far outstrip the United States in
these respects. Turkey. with but little
more than one-third our population. has
an army more than seven times the size of
ours and more than three times our num-
her of men enrolled in her navy. Even
Greece, with population about equal to
Massachusetts,, has an army greater than
that Of the United States. and Denmark.
