dation has been let to John Rookl
and Dick Combs, and they are now
busy getting out the rock, which is
being quarried on the farm of DR.,
Boulware, south of town about i
miles. This quarry furnishes the
finest building stone in this section
of the county, and as Messrs. Rocks

look for good and substantial Job.
County Surveyor March has been
ordered by the court to look after
the construction of tie building and
he will give it his personal supervi

the lot now occupied by the old one,
except the new building will from,
south on Ft. Scott street. The ex-

gun Monday, and the contractors
expect to complete the building
ready for occupancy by December
or sooner.

1t is officially announced that Peter
Jackson, the Australian heavy weight,
is to go starring as leading man in
"Uncle Toms Cabin" In almost every
state in the Union prize fighting is de-
nounced by the laws as crime, and
those who are engaged in the business
are, by the common consent of civilized
man, criminals, and yet the crime is
tolerated in almost every state and the
professional slugger is the most famous
man in the country. Sullivan and
Corbett have PLAYED to crowded houses,
and jackson will draw as well. Not
that either Of them possess the slightest
qualifications for the stage, or know
anything whatever concerning dra-
matte art. Success in the ring brings
success upon the stage, that is that fea-
ture of success which consists of large
audiences, profuse applause and abund-
ance of coin. The moral sense of the
people of this country ought to be de-
Tense against the public appearance Of
such men. The damage is great and is
two fold in that it demOralizes the
stage and demoralizes the people.

Again the wires report "no change
in the senatorial vote at Olympia"
Things are evidently warming up
somewhat, If one may judge by the
long list of names of prominent poll
ticians announced among the arrivals
at the capitol. Prominent Republic
cans, Democrats and Populists are now
on the ground, and such influences as
can be brought to bear on the members
are being piled with all the arts and
skill known to the professional, and
before the session is over there will be
a senator elected; Ibut his name, that is
quite another matter. 1t is painfully
noticeable to the friends of Senator
Allen that the P.-I. has not assured its
readers of Aliens election in its edi-
torial columns for several days now,
and it is thought that it is not so en-
thusiastic or confident as formerly.
Altogether it begins to look as though
Aliens term might expire for good
and all on the 4th of March,

The senatorial struggle in North Da-
kota has been ended by the election of
w. n. Roach, a Democratic wheat
grower, by combination of Democrats
and Populists, aided by few Republi-
cans. 1t may now be fairly assumed
that Mr.. Cleveland's administration
will have the advantage of receiving
the support of both houses of congress.
The Pr. says "the election of Demo-
cratic senator in North Dakota is in our
judgment good news. 1t makes the
United States senate Democratic" If
this thought had come to the P.-I.
earlier, 1t would doubtless have dropped
the name Of Allen and supported
Griggs, as much the same conditions
exist here as in Dakota, and the same
result as to the politics of the senate
could have been brought about by the
election Of a Democrat in Washington.

British Party Organization.


Mr.. James Bryce contributes to The
North American Review an elaborate
comparison between political party or
ganization in Great Britain and the
United States. 1t is in the United States
among all the nations, he says, that
party organization has reached its great
est strength and completeness. Other
nations who want to have well drilled
and marshaled political parties, organ
lied ON regular system, must look to
the United States and learn of us.
The American politician will feel to
pity with all his soul the poor Briton
who has no primaries or even a nomi-
mating convention. The only elections
there which elicit any great interest are
the parliamentary ones, and these do
not come oftener than on an average Of
four years. The Briton has no state
election, for there are no states, and the
only legislature is the parliament of the
nation. How much fun the poor Briton
misses, to be sure! Suffrage has been so
limited in England that only since 1870
have school boards been elected, and the
governing boards called county councils
only since 1888, in which year the night
of suffrage was still further distributed
among British freemen. Members Of
municipal councils, county councils,
school boards and parliament are all the
officers voted for at popular election in
Great Britain.
The parliamentary constituencies are
small. In some cases less than 5000
voters elect the member Of parliament.
Moreover, the member does not even
have to live in the district which he rep
resents in parliament, which, from the
American point of view, is certainly un-
fortunate. Often the candidate is sent
to district from the party headquarters
in London; again he simply announces
that he will be candidate, hires room
for his headquarters and gets a commit
tee to work for him-no nominating con-
vention, no shrewd dickering and barter
ing, no fuss and feathers, no nothing.
Only recently have the local political
organizations in district had much IN
fuence in the choosing of a parliamen-
tary candidate, Moreover, the American
politician will consider most lamentable
of all Mr.. Bryce's statement that even
when there is complete political revo-
luton, as when Salisbury went out and
Gladstone went in, there are not more
than thirty or forty places which change
hands with the ministry of the day."
This is quite too bad, really.

The pending proposition to exempt
the property Of the street railway COM
pany from municipal taxation for q
number Of years is one in which the
public is interested, and which Is being
discussed with some vigor on both
sides. Those who are against the prop
osition say that TO exempt so large a
property from taxation will increase
the burden to be borne by the remain
ing taxpayers. In the narrowest DOS
sible sense there may or may not be
some truth in this contention. but In
its broader sense the argument il a fall
acy, and is unworthy Of consideration.
The street railway company undertook
the construction Of this work at time
when no other persons or Company
could be found to do 1t, at a time
when 1t was believed that a good street
railway line would do more TO facilitate
business, induce the purchase Of prop
erty, enhance values and increase pop
ulation than any other work whicl
seemed practicable. The work wa

produce the results anticipated, and on
this tax exemption question it is
enough to say that every property
owner in the community has been ben
Gifted by it to an extent that would
make his increased burden of taxation
a trife. Again, the road has never
paid, although almost 100000 have
been expended upon it. Its charter re-
auires the construction of certain addl-
tons each year, and it is understood
that the company desires to float its
bonds in the market. 1t is BELOVED that
to exempt it from taxation will greatly
aid I'm the matter. If this be true then
the advantage of having so large an
amount of money to be expended here
at this time would easily more than
compensate in every way for the loss OF
taxes to the city by reason Of the ex-
emption. There are those who say
that the ordinance should fail because
the owners of the road are rich and can
afford to pay. No argument need be
addressed to such, for it will not be un-
derstood or appreciated. Let it be re-
membered that the street railway is in
the nature of a public institution, that
although the stock is owned by private
parties they have derived no benefit
from their ownership up to the present
time and probably will not up to the
expiration of the time for which ex-
emption is asked. To grant the prayer
of the company would be public bene-
fit and graceful acknowledgment of
the obligations which the two cities
owe to the company for substantial
benefits conferred.

With scarcely a single exception
every newspaper in the United States
will today have something to say of the
birth, life, character and death of
George Washington, and this has come
to be about the extent to which the
I'D of February is distinguished from
other days Of the year. Respect to
that great name has caused the day to
be designated by state and nation as
one of the legal holidays, but the grand
parades and professions, the public
meetings, the patriotic speech and
song, the blare of trumpet and boom OF
gun are well nigh things of the past,
and Washington's birthday, because OF
the legal suspension of business, has
come to put on the quiet ola Sabbath
and the luxury of rest, The change in
the mode of celebrating this national
day has not been brought about by any
lack of patriotism, nor by failure to
appreciate the character and eminent
services of the illustrious father of his
country, nor yet by any want of rever.
ence for that great name. The time
will never come when the name Of
Washington will not be the first men.
