SENATOR Hills speeches in the south
were not Of a very high grade, but it
was a good thing for him to take the
trip. The trouble with Mr.. Hill has
been that he has looked at the United
States from an Elmira point Of view,
and has been too busy within the con.
fines Of New York to keep up with ma
tional questions. His southern expert
ence will widen his horizon, and if he
will spend the next two or three years
in discussing public questions in the
senate, and take vacation journeys in
the northwest and on the Pacific coast,
he may be a very available candidate in

The WiIlapa Repabiican, which is in
tensely Democratic in politics, says: ''The
Washington canal will help Seattle only.
Then Why should Squire and Allen spend
20 much time IN booming Seattle and op-
posing the rest Of the slater"
In the same issue the Republican declares
that the tenacity displayed by United
States Senator Allen is commendable. The
river and harbor bin which was reported
from the House omitted any expenditure
for Willapa river. The senator is propos-
ing an amendment TO the original bill,
ssking that $50 900 be appropriated for the
river and 8. 600 for the purpose of closing
up MaiIboat slough at South Bend"
There seems TO be contradiction here.
According to the Republican Senator Allen
is blooming Seattle and opposing the rest
of the state, though be is showing "com-
mendabie tenacity" in insisting on an ap-
preparation for the improvement of the
Wiilapa river.
working ably and loyalty for the entire
state and all its interests. and the Repub-
Hean virtually Acknowledges as much IN
its contradictory paragraphs.
And, by the way, would not the Repubi-
can think it very mean indeed if the Seat
tie papers should begin TO abuse Senators
Squire and Alien because they are work
ing to secure an appropriation for the VII
lapa river?

INVESTIGATIONS GALORE.

Delegate Lyon. the Old Sleuth of the
Democratic municipal government, has
Set another investigation in motion. This
time il is the library commission that is TO
be investigated. and Mr.. Lyon seems to
assume the responsibility for the I'M
named charges against its members, as he
has assumed that for almost all the
charges that have thus far been made.
The work of investigating the city gov
eminent is pretty well advanced now. and
it will not be out Of place to inquire how
much corruption has thus far been brought
TO light. Those who Needed the cry of
fraud shouted so vociferously hy the
Democrats before election, must have sup
posed that long before this no end of
wrong-doing would have been brought to
light The investigations thus far, how
ever, have been fsrcical in the extreme.
The investigation OF the affairs OF the
police commission resulted in the repri.
mand of a pstrolman for s trivial neglect
of duty No official charges have been
filed against any commissioner or any en-
ploye excepting only such petty charges
against patrolmen as are inseparable from
police service. This was the board which
the Democrats set upon with the most
fcrocity and determination, but if they
have discovered snything wrong, the
records of the city do not show il.
Next comes the board of fire commits
sioners. The Democrats undertook to
show that the fire department had been
conducted as = partisan machine. Mayor
Ronald seemed especially eager TO
demonstrate this. The investigation.
however. brought to light the fact that
large majority of the members of the de-
partment under the Republican admins
tra.ion were Democrats, and that politics
had not entered into the management of
the department at all. Thereupon the in
vestigation came 10 an end. and the public
is left to wonder whether under Demo
cratic administration the department will
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1892-04-29

be as mon partisan ss it was under Repu5-
lican
Then came the board Of park commits
sionerz Charges serious and various had
been made against this department, and
our Democratic friends went for it with all
the zeal 81 o hunter when .he game is in
sight An elaborate and protracted inves-
tigzt.on brought 70 light the fact that an
empIoye of the board had taken home
from one Of the park. and busned as fuel
some sood which would otherwise have
been burned as waste. Il was further
shown that 3 lsbore- had been allowed TO
stop work without loss of pay for two days
in order that he might bury his dead child.
Here the corruption" in the park depart
ment ended.
The investigation of the books Of
the municipal court has been abandoned
after considerable time and labor had been
expended upon IT, The same IS true ofthe
books Of the treasurer's and the comp
trolter's Office. In each case the inyesti-
CATION, 50 TAR as it had progressed, showed
the books 10 be SO straight and well kept
that even the Democratic council saw the
folly Of pursuing the matter further.
And now Old Sleuth Lyon wants TO put
upon the city the expense of one more in
Vestigation. The library commissioners
must explain all the corruption Of which
they have not been guilty, and viii prob
ably be called upon to tell why they have
not been guilty of IL.
The management Of the various city de-
partments stands splsndidly the assaults
that have been made upon it by the Dem
ocrats, most of whom had solemnly
pledged their words that the city was
being plundered right and left. After
the cry of corruption and fraud that was
SO loudly raised two months ago, the ex-
eellent condition in which the affairs Of
the city are found must be revelation
to many of those who needed the wall Of
Democrats hungry for office.
The recent Democratic municipal cam
paign was fraud itself, and the fact that
itcaptured great many Republican votes
does not render it any the less fraud

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.

Our friend. the Telegraph. is as enthusi-
astic in the work of circulating falsehoods
regarding the Republican state administra-
ton as 1t vas 4 few weeks ago in circulat-
ing falsehoods regarding the recent Repub-
lican city ADMINISTRATION. In its issue of
April % it says:
TIE Spokane Epokesnaaa directs attention 10
the fact that the legislature OF Washington has
failed 10 comply with the provision Of section !,
Article IL, OF the national constitution, which
provides that leach stale shall sppoinf, in such
manner as the legislature thereof naay elect,
number of electors equal 70 the whole number
Of senators and representatives TO which the
state may be entitled In congress-"
Our contemporary cites Attorney General
Jones "a authority for the proposition that sps-
cial session Of the legislature VIII have TO be
called 20 make the necessary provisions. Major
Routho 10 quoted Is saying that Lieutensnt-G Gov
eruor Langhton's attention was drawn 70 the
matter, but IL was overlooked The Spotesnsda
says the word ''shslp' is mandatory. That cuts
no figure. The point is thnt there Is no way uu-
der the constitution by which a state can APP
point presidential electors without legislation
by the siste legislature. This omission is an
other Item in the state adrninistratIon's uoetui
record.
II the editor of the Telegraph, or the edi-
tor Of the Spokane Spokesman, or Attorney
General Jones, or Major Routhe had turned
10 page 364 Of the Session Laws of 1891, he
would have found law entitled. "An Act
providing for the election and prescribing
the duties Of electors of president and vice
president Of the United States"
This act. which was introduced by Rep
resentatlve Meany as House bill 1s5 and
was approved March 0, 1891. provides how,
when, and by whom the electors shall be
chosen, prescribes their duties, fixes their
compensation, and declares how many
Of them there shall be. 1t is precisely
similar TO the laws under which electors
are chosen in many other states. and it
conforms in all respects with the provis.
ions of the state and federal constitutions.

The number Of establishments reported In
$50 as engaged in the manufacture of "woolen

Der reported for 1850, shows decrease of 67s.
The number reported in 1850 for this branch OF
the industry showed decrease of 90l establish
ments from the number reported in $50. Il is
explained that this continued decrease in num-
Der OF establishments is principally due to the

cardiDg mills. which formerly carded wool TO be
spun in families. The number OF fully 60 tipped
WOODEN and worsted mills in the United States

that great reduction has taken place in the
