"REFoRM" THE FAT SALARIES.

SEATTLE, Sept. 2S, 1893
To THE EpIToR: The present reform"
administration of this city seems to be
having hard time OF 1t. The party now
in charge of the city went 20 the polls a
year and half ago shouting reform, /"
and won. AS soon as they were firmly
seated in power they began looking around
10 see what they could find to reform"
The first thing that attracted their atten-
ton was the city treasury. and they went
at 1t so vigorously that ii they had not
been called TO halt by you there would
have soon been nothing lett but the safe
and office fixtures.
Well, after their first attempt at "re-
forming they seem to feet encouraged. and
are wiling to try again, so one Of these
wise soions gives notice TO the board of
aldermen that he will introduce an o-di-
nance providing for Is per cent. reduc-
ton OF salaries of all city employees. That
scheme looks very nice Mt first glance.
But let US see; does 1t affect the high-sal-
aried city officials whose duty IL is to see
that the city's money is properly taken
care of. but who instead stood calmly by
and saw the treasury iooted2 No. a bit
of il. Their salaries are protected By the
city charter and cannot be changed. The
only ones affected by the proposed reduc-
ton are the poorly paid laborers, clerks,
policemen. iiremen, etc. The officials who
are responsible for the loss of the city's
money continue TO draw their fat salaries
while the city employees who were not at
the bali have 10 chip in TO pay for the
music. Truly 1t is great scheme.

THE oovEHsxEsr SHOULD GOVERN

The silver purchase repeal bill passed
the house, the popular body, by hand
some majority: 10 expressed the will OF the
people. II goes TO the senate and it Is
smothered because under the rules of that
body cloture is impossible. and so a bill
that expressed the will of the people can
be tilihustered TO death by fsctious
minority.
The rcpealers in tho senate have a ma
jority in the senate of three-ffths, but
under the present rules of the senate the
silver minority can indefinitely prolong
the fight and postpone the vote, and can
defeat the measure or force a compromise.
And this Is the government that pretends
10 govern and does not govern. Look at
the ahsardity OF this: the will of the peo-
pie as expressed by a handsome majority
Of the popular body. the house, Is deferred.
demoralized and defeated by the enforce.
ment OF rules which seem to be devised
for the very purpose of ihwarting the
majority.
When Parnell commenced his home rule
crusade he took advantage OF the absurd
parliamentary usages Of the British house
of commons, and he was most brilliant
hlihuster until the government succeeded
in enaeting ctoture. But the friends of
Parneil have no cause 10 complain. be-
cause IL is under this very clo,ure that
Gladstone has forced the passage of his
home rule bill.
The situation today in the United
States senate is a spectacle OF govern
ment that does not govern. Congress
met on the Eth Of August; the Wilson hill
passed tho house the 2s,h Of August and
was at once sent TO the senate. The dc.
bate on the repeal bill had begun in the
senate as early as August ~ Tho
silver debate has lasted in the san
ate FOR more than thirty DAYS.
United States Senator Faulkner ha.
contributed TO this delay by his so-ea.led
compromise bill. aud nothing could he
more fatal to the passage of the silver pur.
chase repeal bin than the introduction of
the Tucker election bin in the house.
This is no time for nonsense; business has
bean bettervd because 1t has discounted,
the passage Of the repeal bin, and II should
be passed,
VOORHEES,. who is the leader Of the rspeal
forces, should have enforced a eoutianou.
session from the beginning, since he could
not carry clo'are. The opposition TO the
repeal bin in the United States senate i.
certainly unfortunate and az variance
with the " SO of the neople.

TACOMA, Sept. Especial. THE min
isteriai alliance has decided that IL takes
too much time to accompany bodies to the
grave and there conclude the burial SER
vice. At its weekly meeting today the
alliance adopted resolution providing
that the service at the grave is only q
formality OF q moment that can with
equal propriety be rendered at the home.
The cemetery Is long distance from the
city, and as rule much time is lost in go
ing there to perform ministerial service at
the grave. During the summer months
the roads outside the city in the direction
of the cemetery are very dusty.
