The anti-option bill in effect outlaws the
selling of grain, cotton and pork for future
delivery when the seller has not the prop
erty at the time in his possession. In
order to suppress such sales as are made
with no intention of etfecting an actual
transfer Of property the bill brings under
its ban all future selling, whether delivery
be intended or not. where the seller does
not possess the property at the time. 1t
thus strikes at the great bulk of dealings
on the cotton and produce exchanges of
The country, and would. if enforced, wipe
these bodies out Of existence. This alb
surd bill proceeds on the assumption that
these exchanges are exclusively, or at
least chiefly. employed in ef!ecting trans
actions of purely gambling character,
and in the effort to attain its purpose it
strikes at the most common and inaliena-
bic rights Of citizens of the states.
In the course of the senate debate upon
the bill John Sherman confessed that he
only voted for it "in Difference to the opin-
ions of the great body of farmers of Ohio"
He had received letters and petitions from
leading agricultural organizations of the
state and from leading farmers in favor of
the bill. and he should yield his opinions
to their wishes. Senator Plat of Connec-
ticut refused TO regard the request of a
convention OF the farmers of his state that
he would vote for the bill. and gave his
reasons for his refusal as 70 lows:
belsve that the principle which is commended
for by the advocates of this bill the most dam
gsrous princi pie to the republic and to the states
which within my expet fence In the senate has
ever been announced. l respect them C.he farm
ers Of Connecricutl too much to believe that they
expect me To vote Tor measure which believe
10 De in violation OF the constitution OF the
United States, in subversiou OF the rights oi the
states, AMI for ii Principle which, If carried out
90 its logical conclusion, VIII Leave lis without
self-governing states.
Senator Hoar. of Massachusetts,. made
an exceedingly able argument against the
bill, holding that the question it raised In
wolves the right of congress 10 20 within
the jurisdiction of the states and to regu-
late and suppress business transactions
OF any character and thus TO control every
action of the citizens of the several states;
/, involves the right of congress 10 do all
this under perversion of the Federal tax
power--to employ this power 10 an I'M
limited degree not 10 raise revenue, but
10 destroy industries and regulate the
manners and morals of the people.
II. declared Mr. Hoar. it had been sup
posed the tax power given TO congress in
the constitution could ever be stretched to
this extent, that instrument would not
have received the votes of nine citizens of
the old confederation, to say nothing OF
nine states.
II is not likely that the amended bill
will ever be enacted by congress: but if it
ever reaches the president it is sure TO be
vetoed: he is too sound and strong law
yer 10 approve such frantic legislation.

THE HOME RULE BILL.

The discussion of Gladstone's new home
rule bill for Ireland began yesterday. 1t
is admitted on all sides that this bill
makes larger concessions to the Irish
Home Rulers than the bill of 1886, which
Mr.. Parnell was willing to accept. The
home rule offered by this bill stands. how
ever, for a more limited authority than is
possessed by the state Of Washington, tor
under it the Irish government can exer-
else no control over the Irish militia; can
make no laws affecting naturalization or
quarantine: can authorize no banks of
issue. Legislation in regard to land,
which may be exercised by our state gov
ernments. is withheld for five years
from the proposed Dublin parliament.
The legislative power in the upper house
for the present is to consist of 1913 men,
bers: that is, seventy-tive elective men,
bers with the twenty-eight peers who now
represent the Irish peerage in the British
house Of lords: but after the expiration OF
thirty years the places of the twenty-eight
peers are to be vacated and filled with
elective members. To be eligible TO cleo
tion 10 the upper house a candidate mus,
have an income of 81, coo year from rents
or from personal property. of the value of
$40. 600 or upward. Electors who have the
right to vote for members of the upper
house must own or occupy land or tene-
ment within the district Of an annual
value of $I25 or upward. The lower house
Is to consist of 3oi members The two
chambers will SIT separately, and III the
case of q disagreement which cannot be
settled by reference to n joint committee,
the specific question at issue may be re-
ferred to the people.
The Irish representation in the imperial
parliament remains at its present figure,
los. The same men can hold seats in both
parliaments. and the twenty-eight repre-
sentative Irish peers may sit in the upper
house NJ Dublin and also at Westminster
These Irish members in The imperial par
lament may vote on all questions which
are reserved from the Irish parliament
They can vote On English, Welsh and
Scotch measures, as well as those more
distinctly imperial, while these other
members are debarred from voting on
Irish matters. The Irish government is

THE ENEMIES HE HAS MADE.

1t is an instructive fact that the Spokane
Reuie,o, which is owned in Portland, the
Tacoma Ledger and all of the Democratic
newspapers of the state have joined hands
in their opposition to the reelection Of
Senator Allen. All of these newspapers
pretend to find great deal of satisfaction
and encouragement in the failure of the
Republican members of the legisla-
ture to break the deadlock. If any
thing was needed to soidify the support
ers of Senator Allen and nerve them
for fight to the finish it would be found
in this singular combination that is now
opposing him. His friends admire and
love him for the enemies he has made.
The Republican minority in the legisla-
ture cannot fail to see that Democratic in
dorsement of their conduct is an insult
to their intelligence. They cannot fail to
appreciate that the Spokane Reriew voices
not the sentiment of the people of Spokane,
but of its owners in Portland. As far
as the Tacoma Ledger is concerned the
to require comment. Senator Allen re-
fused to recognize "the Tacoma idea" and
had the hardihood to represent in the sem
ate of the United States not the city of
Tacoma alone, but the state of Washing.
ton. Hence the opposition of the Ledger.
Judge Turner will find when the present
contest is ended and Senator Allen is re-
elected that his worst enemies have been
his pretended friends, and his best friends
have been and will continue to be the men
who have advised against a course that
meets with the warm commentator of
the Democratic party and the Democratic
press,

A VALENTINE.

Accept, dear wife, this little token,
And, If between the lines you seek,
You'll find the love I've often spoken
The love I'll always love to speak.
Our little ones are making merry
With uuco ditties rhymed in Jest,
But in these lines, though awkward very,
The genuine articles expressed
You are so fair and sweet and tender,
Dear, brown-eyed little sweetheart mine,
AZ when, callow youth and slender,
asked to be your valentine.
What tho ugh these years Of ours be heetingf
What tnoug h the years of youth be flown?
Ill mock old Kronos with repeating:
Il love my love, and her alOneg'
And when fall before Hia reapiug,
And when my suffering speech is done,
Think not my love is dead or sleeping,
But that 1t waits for you to come.
So take, dear love, this little token,
And il there speaks in any line
The sentiment I'll lain have spoken,
Say, will you kiss your valentine?

GEATTLE. TCESDAY. FEB. II.


John B. Allen will succeed himself a.
United States senator for the state OF
Washington. That much is certain. Sem
ator Allen is in the fight to stay and any
talk of his withdrawal is the veriest nom
sense. He owes it to himself and he owes
it to his party to vindicate the principle
that is involved in the contest. That prin-
ciple is the right of the majority to rule.
His supporters enter upon another week
of the struggle as firm. as enthusiastic and
as united as ever. They will. if necessary,
be found voting for their candidate on the
last day Of the session. They know that
all talk Of q compromise candidate
is absolutely out Of the question.
Either it is right for the minor.
ity to yield to the majority and not
the majority to the minority, or it is
wrong. If it is right. then the minority
should acquiesce in the will OF the major
ity. Any other course would be wrong, and
nothing is ever gained by compromising
on the basis Of sacrifice of right and JUS
tice.
There is no question about the right of
the governor to appoint in case the legis-
lature fails to elect. 1t will probably
never come to this, as Senator Allen will
doubtless be reelected in due form, but il
by any chance he should not be. he will be
appointed by the governor. and he can
then seek his vindication at the hands of
the people two years hence. Under any
circumstances he will succeed himself
Nothing but . union of the Democrats,
the Populists and the men who are
now voting for Judge Turner can
prevent it. Such union is not
within the bounds of possibility. The fol-
lowers of Judge Turner are laboring under
serious mistake in thinking that they
should any longer oppose the will of the
majority Of their party. But they are
still Republicans, and will never permit
any one but Republican to be elected.
1t is to be hoped. and there is good rea-
son to believe. that Senator Allen will be
elected this week. If he is not, however,
his friends need have no fear Of the ultl-
mate result. He is in the fight to stay.
His supporters will remain loyal to him to
the end, and he will be the next senator
from the state of Washington.
