bringing them to terms Of mutual arrange
ment.
Our sole object now is to so deal with
the Northern Pacific as TO give them the
utmost facilities without jeopardizing the
rights of other roads or putting fresh
shackles on the city's interests.
There is one way open which the city
may have to avail itself of, but that need
not be considered at present. The para
mount necessity is to bind the Northern
Pacific to give up the rams horn. That
can never be done if the city now throws
away the last chance it will ever have OF
bringing the Northern Pacific to terms.
The duty of the house of delegates is
very clear. Most of the members are
about TO retire from Office, and it would be
q fragrant dereliction OF duty on their part
to commit the city to course from which
it can never recede.
The settlement of this question belongs
to the future; all the citizens ask is that
the delegates shall not, as their last act,
cover themselves with everlasting obloquy
by taking an irrevocable step. What IS
done now-bad as it is-can be mended
if the council will only keep its hands of
and give the city fighting chance to
settle forever one of the most ve1atious
problems with which a community has
ever had to deal.

SETTLE. THURSDAY. FER. e5.
FALSE REGISTRATION cERTrrI-
GATES,

correspondent sends the Posr-IyTEI-
LieENcER blank registration certificate
duly stamped with the signature OF CITY
.ierk Miller and bearing the seal of the
city. he is in fear that such certificate
could be used for fraudulent purposes on
election day, and desires that the atten-
lion OF the public be called to the fact that
such blank certificates are in existence.
AS matter of fact, such blanks are
worthless, and could not be used for pur-
poses OF fraud. Nobody is entitled to vote
unless his name appears on the original
registration book at the city clerks office.
AN attempt to vote on the, strength OF a
eertIlcate purloined in blank from
the clerks Office and afterward
filled out would invite detection.
1t would be absolutely impossible
to vote on such a certificate, and al
most as impossible for the one who at
tempted it to escape the punishment which
he would deserve.
Although these certificates are worth
less for purposes of fraud, more care
should be taken at the city clerks Office TO
prevent their getting out The certif-
Gates, first signed and sealed in blank, are
handled by half dozen or more clerks,
and in the hurry of registration it
would probably be easy to purloin
some of them in case anybody
should consider them of sufficient
value to so to that trouble. Indeed, it is
evident that some have thus been stolen,
though it is not clear what could be the
object of the thief, unless it might be to
make political capital in some manner not
readily apparent.

ELLESsBURG, wash, ED. lSJ2.
To THE EDITOR: 1t is only matter of time
when the lands OF the arid belt will have to be
abandoned by their present owners if they do
not receive aid from some quarter. When We
cast our vision across this vast region contain
ing every requisite but water to make it a para
dise, We are astonished at the careless manner
in which the interests of this vast domain are
handled BY the nation. There is no subject
which so vitality affects the settler in this re-
gion irrigation, and congress seems willing
to donate for any other purpose fabulous
amounts of money in places more favored in
this particular, and perhaps not essentially
necessary to the welfare OF the nation. This
subject is OF more consequence to US than the
tariff, free silver, or any other subject now be-
fore congress- and yet 1t seems to be lost sight OF
by that body altogether.
Under the fostering hand of the government
the "arid belt could be made to feed the rest of
the nation, and states which will be bankrupt
after their mines are worked out made to be not
only seli-supportinS, but prosperous in the ex-
treme.
The state of Nevada, for instance, containing
the most productive OF soils, with an irrigation
system established, would become one of the
most prosperous and populous states in the
Union, and Il desirable place in which to live
Its silver mines would then be q secondary con-
sideTation.
Then, the-overnment would be nothing out
as most OF the land is unoccupied, and the in
creased value of the land would repay the gov
eminent for the outlay. In our opinion it
would not be advisable for the government to
build the works-simply locate, survey route
estimate cost, and then the work could be done
cheaper and quicker by contract. In settled dis
tricts that lacked water the government could
lend the settler the money, take his land for
security, which would enable him to irrigate
districts which would cost too much to irrigags
with money borrowed from any other source.

TWO OBJECTIONABLE AMEND
MESTS.

Democrats and Republicans alike have
expressed themselves in favor Of all pro-
posed amendments to the chartef except
those which deal with the constitution of
the city council. These proposed changes
are embodied in amendment No. 81 in
the published notices.
At present the board of aldermen is
every elector may vote for every alderman.
The intention was that the house of dele
gates should represent the several wards,
but that the aldermen should be free
from local interests and regard all measures
from the standpoint of the general welfare.
There is not sufficient strength in the OBJ
jections to overcome the merits of this
system. The only sound objection is that
one ward might not be represented d.
rectly. The party conventions have, I'M
fortunately, defeated the purpose by
selecting nominee from each ward. The
cellent man is barred from selection. The
city would be benefited by voting down
this amendment.
The same course should be taken with
the amendment reducing the number of
delegates from two for each ward to one
for each ward. The larger the legislative
body, within reasonable limits, the better
security the people have of an honest and
conservative government.
The experiment of dual council, con-
sisting of a board of aldermen with nine
members and house of delegates with
eighteen members, possesses too much
promise of good to be discarded until a
further trial has demonstrated by expert
ence that, on the whole, it is disadvan-
tageous.
With these exceptions all the proposed
amendments may safely be adopted with
no fear but that they will be to the city,
interest.

eyangeiists who vexed the air with their
howlings and tore "the azure robe of night"
with their sky-splitting screams on Tues
day evening. The particular voice apper-
tanning unto Horatio \. Pike, formerly
Of The Dalles, Oregon, must have origin
ally been put on hot and run all over him.
This profane historian of his party re-
joices in the name OF Pike, but his antics
and his oratory impressed his audience
with the conviction that he belonged to an
entirely inferior order of fishes; for call
ing himself Pike did not blind anybody
who heard him to the fact that he was
nothing but wretched old sucker who
had eaten more rum than he could digest.

NOT A MATTER OF DELIBERA.
TION.

The marriage and divorce reform pun
dts saw there would be fewer divorces if
neonle took counsel of prudence, deliber-
alton and caution in the matter Of mar
rage. Granted; but the trouble IS that
Dame Nature never meant that young peo-
ME should take counsel of prudence, de-
liberation, caution. in the matter of mar
riare for if they did there would be COM
naratiyely few marriages, however much
HAMMER they might be. Nature made the
instinct of marriage take counse! Of senI-
ment rather than of reason In order that
marriage might take place early and otton
,,d tho end of nature be attained in the
coordination of the race. Cool delibeca-
.;oa ard nrndence would not make many
early marriages, and nature needs early
marriages, for few persons marry after
tbev PASS thirty years of age. Passion
and sentiment precipitate marriages, and
II is lust this precipitate tumbling into
n,lrimony that nature wants, and II is TO
rrou,ote this precipitation that young peo-
nile are persons of passion and sentiment
rather than reason and reflection in the
matter of matrimony.
Fewer marriages take place in thrifty,
industrious Puritan Massachusetts and
Connecticut than even in those Euro
mean countries where the law puts i'm
,,ediments in the way OF ma,rmony.
Probably the old-time New England
marriages were less marriages OF bust
mass convenience and morbid senti-
mental caprice than at present and
were negotiated more in religious
thought of duty and mistaken fidelity.
There was less general wealth aud
INJURY. and it was more a partnership
where everyday economy. exhaus'ies'
ENERGY and unfagsins industry were
,ad;sneusabls to decent existence,
prohably the decrease of marriages IN
Naw England is due less to departing
reverence for marriage and growing
restlessness under its restraints than 1t
- is 70 the fact that the vigorous young
MON who would naturally marry go
carly TO the West and marry where they

found guilty of murder in the first degree. In
view of the violence he had suffered, the judge
would not infiet the extreme penalty, but gave
him q life sentence. Some months later the
