TACOMA, WASH, April 5.-W. W.
Heffelfnger, the famous rusher OF the Yale
foot ball team. is q hero to-day in the eyes
of the people Of Skykomish, one of the

Skykomish Is in Snohomish county, in the
Cascade mountains, about $50 miles north
east from Tacoma on the line If the Great
Northern railway. A camp was originally
located there by the railroad employees, and
thew soon made it profitable for a man to
open q saloon. Now it has population Of
about 400, and half Of this number are men
and women of the worst class, who have no
fear Of God or man, who live by their wits
and consider it a crime to miss an oppor-
tunity to steal, and who have been follow
ing the railroad across the continent.
A big brutal fellow, known as big Kid,
has been the terror Of the town. The Kid
always had his guns with him, and he was
never slow to bring them into play II occa-

WASHINGTON.

The memory of Washington was pledged
at Democratic banquets yesterday as 1.-The
foremost exponent in his time of good,
sound Democratic doctrines" This DEM
ocratic Worship Of Washington is absurd,
for Washington was not the champion of
state supremacy, Of notification or seces-
sion. So far as the Democratic party to-
day, by its record. stands for any distinct
i've political doctrine that separates it
from the Republican theory and practice
under the constitution. Washington was
always its foe. He dreaded Jefferson; he
trusted Hamilton. These great men were
the founders and leaders of the two war.
ring schools of American statesmen who
construed the constitution, one as be-
lever in the doctrine of state supremacy.
the other as the defender and disseminator
of the doctrine of Federal supremacy.
Yesterday how many intelligent men
had any remembrance of the tremendous
constitutional fight that has been waged
since 1889 to our own day to keep the
nation faced as Washington planted it?
Washington had not been more than a
year in Office when a contest began over
the powers of congress. Pennsylvania.
Maryland. Virginia and North Carolina
denounced the assumption of state debts
by the Federal government as unconstitu-
tional: the people Of Western Pennsyl-
vania rebelled against the whisky tax; the
tax on carriages was denounced a. direct;
even Washington himself had grave doubts
as to the right of congress to charter
q national bank. Hamilton approved Of
tho bank, Of the excise act, of all
these measures as covered by what he
called the express, the implied and tho
resultant powers of congress, while Jeffer-
son disapproved Of the bank and recog-
nized only those powers expressly granted
to congress and those absolutely necessary
to carry out the powers expressly given.
Hamilton won, but the opposition that be-
gan then between the schools of constitu-
tional construction, headed respectively by
Hamilton and Jefferson. continued the
struggle so iiercely that little more than
sixty years after the death Of Washington
it eliminated in our great civil war.
When Washington in 1888 declared for
neutrality in the war between France
and Great Britain the opposition de-
nounced his action as unconstitu-
tional, as usurpation Of powers expressly
delegated 10 congress. Hamilton de-
Tended him against Madison. The ratifi-
cation Of the Jay treaty with Great Brit
ain produced another storm. the house
ella ming the right to share in making
treaties and refusing to vote money to put
II in force.
Washington WAS not Democrat in his
day: he was with Hamilton, not with
Jefferson, and the quarrels between these
statesmen became so bitter that the cabi-
net had not room for them both and JEFF
ferson stepped down and out, and to the
day Of Washington's death was the leader
Of the opposition to his views. Washing
tons picture does not fairly belong in the
gallery of Democratic saints. for Wash
ington was Hamiltonian not Jeffersonisn
in all his political views.

RAILROAD LEGISLATION.

The Republican party Of the state il
pledged to pass salutary laws for the regu-
lation of freight charges by railroads. This
Is matter in which the people are vitality
interested, and it should receive careful
and conscientious treatment ct the hands
of the legislature. There Is no demand
made for law that is not entirely just to
all the interests affected. The people of
this state are too enlightened to ask that
the railroads Be hampered by unnecessary
or unwise restrictions. They do ask, how
ever, and they have right to ask that tho
railroads shall be compelled BY law to
make fair and just charges and no more
for the service performed.
One of the most important bills intro
duced at this session 10 that of Mr.. Andsr-
son. of Whitman. regulating and fixing
railroad freight rates in tho state Of WASH
ington." This bill has passed the house
and is now pending in the senate. The
important provisions Of the bill are as fol-
lows:
No individual, company or corporation own
ing. operating. managing or leasing any rail-
road. or any part Of a railroad. In this state,
shall charge Tor or receive . greater or higher
rate for carrying wheat. barley, -four or other
Wilstufs, oats, potatoes or hay, than IS per
centum OF the rates actually charged for carry
ting said articles or commodities on the Sd day
OF January. 1898: provided. that no greater rate
han sAS0 per ton shall be charged for carrying
the articles or commodities hereinbefoge enum.
Grated for haul Of 500 miles or less
The maximum rates OF freight on all rail-
roads In this state other than on those articles
Or commodities enumerated In section OF this
act shall DO the rates that were in existence on
the 30 day OF January, 1893
The WATSON bill. which was passed over
the veto Of Acting Gov. Laughton, pro-
vides for rate Of IS per centum of the
rates actually charged on the first day of
December, 1890. and for maximum rate
OF IS per ton. There is a possibility that a
question may b raised al to the legality
Of the WATSON bill by reason Of the way in
which it was passed. It 10 therefore es-
sential that another bill be passed of a
similar nature. II the reductions called
for In the Anderson bill seem excessive
the senate has the power to amend. The
bill. however. should receive prompt con-
sidsration and should b. passed In one
form or another. A comparison of the
rates charged December l, 1890, and those
charged January 8. 1893. would afford q
basis upon which to build . Just conclu.

The Roscoe bill, which prohibits the
manufacture or sale Of cigarettes or ciga-
rette paper, has passed the senate with an
amendment which makes it unlawful to
have cigarettes in ones possession. The
bill. which is extremely stringent in its
provisions, will, if it becomes law. GER
tainly have the effect intended. It will, at
least, prevent the open sale Of cigarettes
and remove all temptation to become adj
dicted to the pernicious habit of cigarette
smoking. While legislation of this kind
may in some cases be Objectionable, in this
particular instance few will be found who
will object to it.
