STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
The Result of Two Trials Before Differ
emit Magistrates.

A funny case is reported from the
Twenty first district. Several days
ago six men became involved in a
fight, three on a side, aud many
blows were passed. The fight was
witnessed by perhaps forty people.
Each side swore out warrants for the
arrest OF the other side. They were
cited to trial, aud by some hook or
crook one of the cases was heard by
Squire Pugh Haynes, in the Twen-
ty. first district, and the other by
Squire John Haynes, in the Eighth
district. The trials were held at the
same hour, and on the same day, end
both sides were acquitted.

A NEGATIVE PARTY.

The New York World of June IS says,
the Democracy Of the United States has
Endorsed the utterance Of the New York

Don't" no." and s.wait," are the only
words known in the Democratic vocabu-
larry. Not to act themselves and to prevent
Others from acting, is the chief aim of the
kIfty-second congress. To always OBJ
struct, hinder and check every measure
intended to advance the welfare of the
American masses 10 the highest ambition
Of the Democracy.
But when it comes to tearing down, to
destroying industries, to putting every
laboring man down to the level OF the
haif-starved laborers of Europe, then the
Democracy is in full glee. No ''don't"
then. No stopping for anything
Any measure that can in any way be
advantageous to our competitors in trade
the Democratic party would gladly enact,
providing always that II had the power to
do 30. But as long as the American peo-
pie are in possession of that common
sense which Is characteristic of them, 20
long there il no danger of our Democratic
friends getting chance to ruin che coun.
try and themselves into the bargain.

WILD CAT BANKING.

The Chicago platform recommends that

recommendation should ever be enacted

other states of the West, South aud South.
west, would be at once restored. If con-
gress should enact this recommendation
each state bank could issue its own cur
rency without any national backing to
give its notes credit, 2nd the value Of
each note would depend on the solvency
OF the bank which issued it. These notes
would circulate at the risk of the taker,
but often at a discount, and. 100 miles
from home, often would not pass at all.
The country passed through that exper-
fence thirty-five years ago and does not
want to repeat the disaster.

rHs FEDERAL ELECTIONS BrLr.

The Chicago convention declared against
the federal elections bill rs q matter OF
course. for party that was largely res
sponsible for tho rebellion and whose
strength today lies chiefly in the Solid
South, that organized and prosecuted the
rebellion in behalf ofthe doctrine of state
supremacy and its consequent, secession,
Is always hostile to the federal
control of federal elections. The
Southern Democracy under Calhoun
in 1882 attempted to nullify tho revenue
laws of the United States; the political
heirs and assigns of Calhoun seeded and
waged war on the government in 1S6l-65,
and today the political heirs and assigns
Of JEFF Davis are of course opposed to
federal control wherever it manifests itself.
and contend for the doctrine of supremacy
Of the state over the federal authority.
The Republican party ON the other hand
holds that the national government should
be Independent of state interference, neg
lect or hostility. Federal laws are ems
forceable not through state. but federal
courts. The excise and customs arc COLI
lected not by state, but federal officers
the state legislatures by the national con.
stitution, is regulated in all its details by
federal law, and logically tho Republican
party holds that the election of congress
men and presidential electors should b.
under the protection of federal law, and
are therefore in favor of passing a federal
elections bill for that purpose.
There is no force bill about it. The chief
objection to it is i'll our Judgment that boz
canse it is not = genuine force bill 1t would
be inadequate aud inefficient for its pur-
pose. Those who call it force bill are
either grossly ignorant of its provisions or
fear that fraudulent elections may be less
safe and easy under federal supervision.
The federal election bill, falsely called
force bill, was nothing but an attempt to
extend the existing operation of federal
supervisors law over the whole country
North and South.
There is nothing in it that any honest
man who wants to vote but one honest
ballot on election day, and who Is willing
that every other lawful voter shall cast his
ballot, cast it but once and have It fairly
counted, need fear; the opposition to the
federal elections bill is composed largely Of
honest ignorance that is fooled to the top
OF Its bent by the intelligent and cunning
political scoundrels tho lead the popular
Democracy by the nose today; always
nave led II, and are likely to lead it, We
suppose, Tor many years to come.

l SOUTHERN BORN AND BRED

The Democratic party was correctly de-

Today Mr.. Watterson has his wish,

form, but i. is quite probable that in this
instance. too. defeat will follow. It 10

THE LAKE WASHINGTON CANAL.

The appropriation asked for beginning
work on the Lake Washington canal has
been denied by congress. though the de-
NAL Is coupled with . provision for the
appointment of new commission to ex-
anime and report upon the proposed work.
The delay in beginning this important
undertaking which the defeat of the an
preparation will render necessary II
to be regretted, but It should be
understood that it is only delay. Tho
eventual undertaking Of this work by the
government is certain. An improvement 90
necessary to the commercial development
of this state cannot be long delayed. The
commission which will re-examine the
subject will certainly report. as the for
mer commission reported, in favor Of the
immediate building of the canal.
1t is to be regretted that public Inn
provement which would be of so great
benefit to tho entire state of Washington
has met with opposition from portions Of
the state. The fact that this opposition
has in every instance been based
on purely personal grounds does not
lessen the injury that it has done. Jeal-
ousy Of the senators who supported the
canal project, and jealousy Of Seattle,
which in the nature of things would DO
benefited by the building of the canal, has
caused all the opposition to the measure
that has been urged. This opposition II
less justifiable from the fact that tho
people Of Seattle and King county have
always been ready and willing to sup
port and encourage every project looking
TO the development Of any other section Of
the state. The friends Of the canal, how
ever, have reason to feel gratified at the
earnest manner in which our two United
States senators have supported the pro-
posed improvement and at the efforts
which they have put forth in its behalf.
The supporters Of the Lake Washington
improvement need not be disheartened or
dismayed. The beginning Of work has
been postponed, but that work on this
important waterway will not only be be.
gun by the government but will be pushed
to completion, Is a. certain a. anything IN
the future can be.
