THE ELECTION LAWS.

An attempt was made in the last con- gress to bring 10 bear the constitutional powers of the general government for the correction of frauds against the suffrage. It is important to know whether the oppo- sition to such measures is really rested in particular features, supposed to be Obiec- tionable or includes any proposition to give the election laws of the United States adequacy to the correction of grave and acknowledged evils. must yet entertain the hope that it is impossible 10 secure a calm, patriotic consideration of such con- stitutionAl and statutory changes as may be necessary to secure the choice of the officers of the government 10 the people by fair appOrtionmenis and free elections. I believe it would be possible that we constitute a commission non-pAr- tisan in its membership and composed of patriotic, wise and impartial men, to whom a consideration of the question of the evils connected with our election sys- tenn and methods might be committed with & good prospect of securing unBnim;ty in some plan for removing or mitigating those evils The constitution would permit the selection of the commission to be vested in the supreme court if that method would give the best guaranty of impar;iality. This commission should be charged with the uu1A OA -AAAb aAAN NA4'#AN SA the law of elections related 10 the choice of officers of the national govern ment with view to giving to every elector free and unnOlcstsd exercise of the suffrag- and as near an approach to sn equality of value in each ballot cast as is attainhble while the policies uf the general government upon the tariff, upon the re- storation of our merchant marine, upon river and harbnr impl Uyrinents and other such matters of grave and general concern are liable to be turned this way or that by tine results of congressional elections, and administrative policies sometimes involv- ing issues that tend Ia peace or war, to be turned this way or that by the results of & presidential election, there is a Tightful in- terest in all the states and in every con gressiOnal district that will not be de- ceived or silenced by the Hudacious pre- | tence that the question of the right of any | body of legal voters in any state or in any congressional district to give their suff- rages freely upon these general questions | is a matter only of local concern or con trol The demand that the Limitations of suffrage shall be found in the law and only there is just demand, and no just man should resent or resist it.

THE FUTURE STATE OF UTAH.

The power of congress over this subject should not be surrendered until We have satisfactory evidence that the people of the state to be created would exercise the eI- elusive power of the state over this subject in the same way. The question is not whether these people now obey the laws of congress against polygamy, but rather would they make, enforce and maintain such laws if absolutely free to regulate the subject We can't afford to experiment
 with these subject, for when a state is once constituted tn. act IS final and any mistake irretrievable. No compact in the enabling act could in my opinion be binding or effective.
 SHORT LIVES OF RAILROAD ENPLoYEs.
 have twice before urgently called the attention of congress to the necessity of Legislation for the protection of the lives of railroad employees. but nothing has yet been done. During the year ending June 30, 1890, 369 brakeInen were killed and 7,S41 maimed while engaged in coupling cars. The total number of railroad sm- ployes killed during the year was 2, 2,45l, and the number injured :,2, 390. This is a cruel and largely a needless sacrifice. The government is spending nearly Sl ,OO0, 900 annually to save the lives of shipwrecked seanen; every steam vessel is Tigidly in spected and required to adopt the most approved safety appliances. All this is good; but how shall We excuse lack of interest and effort in behalf of this army

will circulate. Such an event would
 be st once fatal to the further
 progress of the silver movement Bimet-
 alisn is the desired end, and the true friends of silver will be careful not to out run the goal and bring in silver monomst- alism with its necessary consequences, the loss of our gold to Europe and the neces- sity for @ large currency. I have endeay- ored, by the use of unofficial agencies. to keep close watch of public sentiment in Europe upon this question, and have not found it such as to justify me in proposing an international conference. There is, however, am sure, 6 growing sentiment in Europe in favor of larger use of silver, and l know of no more effectual way of promoting this sentiment than by accommodating gold here. A scare ity of gold in the European re- serves will be the most persuasive argument for the use of silver. The e1- ports of gold to Europe, which began in February last, and continued until the close of July, aggregated over S70, ,000, ,0O0 The net loss of gold during the fiscal year was nearly S6S, ,000, 900. That no serious monetary disturbances resulted was most
 gratifying and gave to Europe fresh evil
 dence of the strength and stability of our financial institutions. With the move ment of crops the outflow of gold was speedily stopped and return set in. Up
 to December l, we had recovered of our gold loss at the port of New York ST. 854. 900 and it is confidently believed that during the winter and spring this sggre-
 gate will be steadily and largely increased. FARMERS AND THE PosroFrcE.

It is stated that over 54, 900 neighborhoods are, under the present system. receiving mail at post offices where money orders and postal notes are not issued. The extension of this system to these communities is espec- ially desirable, as the patrons of such offices are not possessed of the facilities offered in more populous communities for the transportation of small sums of money l have, in @ message to the preceding con gress, expressed my views as to a modified use of the telegraph connection with the postal service.

Canada and Reciprocity.
From the Review.

From the Review.
Politics in Canada are fast assuming
lively and interesting form. The
Canadians want reciprocity with this
country, and want it bad. 1t is for
this reason that Sir John Macdonald
dissolved parliament. 1t is for the
same reason that Sir Charles Upper
left England for consultation with the
dominion authorities. The time is
ripe, in the judg ,llent of the governor
general, for the question of reciprocity
to be presented to the people, and an
election held on issue. The World,
the ministerial organ, states that COM
missioners from England and Canada
will start for Washington March to
negotiate for a treaty of reciprocity,
arriving in that city March 6, on which
date the result of the Canadian election
will be known. 1t is "in order that
this commission may have no uncer-
tain sound" says the World, "that
Sir John Macdonald has decided to
appeal to the country and ask for
judgment on these proposals of his to
the Washington authorities" There
can scarcely be doubt that McDon-
AIDS policy in the matter will be sus-
tanned.
1t takes two parties, however, to
enter into reciprocity with each other.
1t is not altogether certain that our
people desire it with our northern
neighbor. Mr.. Blaine is believed to
favor it, but is keeping quiet on the
subject. If he does fay or it and has the
handling of the treaty it may be safely
assumed that the United States will
not he loser by the bargain. Mr.
Blaine's long experience in statecraft
and shrewd practical sense, can be
trusted to attend to all that.
Moreover, the coming congress, with
its great majority pledged to tariff re-
duction and extension of commercial
treaties, is very likely to ratify any
such reciprocity agreement as may be
drawn up by Mr.. Blaine and the Can
adian commissioners.

It would be needless to spend time in
enumerating the advantages of an open
river. Almost every citizen of eastern
Oregon and Washington can see and
appreciate the great changes that
would be produced by opening up the
Columbia and Snake rivers. So i'm
portant is it to increase our water
transportation that there are private
companies engaged in the work of
clearing out rapids and blasting out
reefs of rocks in both the Upper Col
umbia and Snake rivers, in order to
use these waterways on their private
enterprise. OF course the great OBJ
stacle to successful navigation of these
rivers Is on the Columbia at The Dalles
and Cascades, and when those obstac-
les are overcome sthe smaller ones will
soon be removed. Senator Dolph is
working on the plan that will prob
ably be finally adopted, but our people
are not willing to wait for twenty or
thirty years for steamboat railway.
Let the portage railway be built, and
it can be used while the other Is being
built. At the Cascades the portage
railway will do service while the canal
and locks are being completed. But
let the work on the locks be pushed
with all possible speed.-Weiser
Leader.

The Waterway convention, which
met at Walla Walla last week, showed
how extended and determined the eff
fort to open the river has become.
Cheaper transportation is the keynote
Of the increased prosperity of the In
land Empire. 1t is question that all
sections can act upon with unity and
harmony. The effort of the convention
will add greatly to the influence now
being exerted in State and National
legislation to effect the end in view.
The Dolph Bill, the Senate bill for a
Portage railway around the Dalles,
and Senator McConnells bill for an
appropriation to open Snake river,
were each and all commended and a
memorial drafted and sent to Congress,
setting forth as grievances the excess
sive transportation charges and the
dilatory manner in which the work
now in course of construction at the
Cascades is being done.

Cheap Goods and Cheap Men.
From the spokesman.

From the spokesman.
There is moral lurking in the
method with which newspapers will
treat the story of yesterdays shocking
and peculiar fatality in Pennsyl-
vania coal mine. Seventeen men lost
their lives. OF these men the names
of only eight are worthy of being dis
played in large type. They are men
who have families and homes, and
they probably have friends or acquaint-
ances even in the remote state of
Washington. Hence their names are
made conspicuous in the newspaper
story of the accident.
Who are the remaining nine unfortu-
mates? why should the printer set
their names in small type, where he
who runs perchance may not read?
The press dispatches say they are
Hungarians. 1t is not said that they
have families, homes or children.
There is, then, but one inference.
These nine Hungarians, who were
drowned in that dark flood underneath
the ground, are not American citizens,
but belong to that large and growing
class Of pauper labor with which Penn
sylvania is cursed. 1t is doubtful
If single reader of news
paper west Of the Alleghenies will
recognize any of their names or lament
their fate except on broad humanitar-
ian grounds. They are unknown
pauper laborers and there is nobody to
weep over the sudden call that death
made upon them.
This inference may be far from the
truth. Unhappy Hungary has noble
people, and it may be that the people
who died yesterday came to this
country as does the average German,
or Irishman, or Swede-to seek new
home and to swear allegiance to new
flag, resolved to be Americans among
Americans. But the presumption,
funded on the wellknown condition of
labor in the Pennsylvania mines, Is
that these men were imported from
Hungary by their employers because
they were cheap. They did not come
here; they were brought here. And,
between the active and passive verb,
the distinction is fraught with grave
significance for American labor.
How long will America shut out
Europe's cheap shirts, coats, and shoes,
and go on admitting free Of duty the
cheap men who wear them?

If the state and pays one-third the

of the state and pays one-third the
taxes, and presents a just claim for
some proper recognition. 1t has been
ascertained by careful calculation that
fOur-fifths of the taxes levied and col
lected for state purposes are distributed
in the south. The north bears one
third the burden of state expense and
retains the privilege of voting institu-
tons upon the south. One contempt
rary claims that the place is inacces-
sible, that the locality is cut off by i'm
passible mountain ranges. This is all
bosh. Idaho, within the next few
years, will he covered with a net work
of highways and railroads. The north
will be joined to the south by a half
dozen highways, open to commerce
and trade. Any point inithe State will
be easy of access. Public institutions
such as this are for the benefit of the
people of the whole State, and that
point should be chosen most eminently
fitted to develop the object and aims OF
such an institution. Laying aside
local prejudice and preference, no one
can justly claim but that Lewiston is
the proper site.

Captain Charles King has written

Lewiston is supremacy fitted to be
the site for the State Agricultural Col
lege. This fact is not gainsaid by any
Of her opponents. The main points
now being urged by the directors is
the fact that two of the public institu-
tons will be located In the north.
Strange argument when you consider
the facts. Where are the public insti-
buttons of the state, those already per-
manently located? Where is the
Penitentiary? Where the Insane Asy-
lum? Where the State Capital? All
in the south. North Idaho has only
one State institution, the State Uni
versity. South Idaho claims three
fifths of the population and wealth
of the State, and has now three-fifths
of the public institutions. That is a
fair and proportionate share, and on
that basis the Agricultural College
should come to the north. North
Idaho now has one-third the wealth

Vim. Loetfler, his brother-in-law, and
was for 100000. This was filed in the
afternoon, but this evening the following
other judgments were entered: f. ID.
Qulmby, S5S,24S; W. G. Taylor. S3O.4S0.
and Emilia A. Somert. S54.390. Quimby
is also a brother-in-law and Emilia Som

and the liabilities could not be ascertain

and could not be seen. He was rated at
from 100000 to 100000.
