THE ISSUE or BONDs.

There IL no doubt that the question of
issuing bonds for the funding of the Goat
Ing Indebtedness Of the city and for the
completion Of the Lake Union sewer tun-
mel Will be submitted to the people. There
10 moreover little doubt but that the peo-
pie will be practically unanimous in favor
OF Issuing bonds for the purpose named
At the public meeting of the city coua.
ell. held on Friday night, there seemed to
be no difference of opinion as to the neces.
sity OF taking care Of the present floating
Indebtedness and of securing the money 20
complete the sewer tunnel. Some OF the
eitioens who addressed the council, how
ever, favored the raising Of money bv
direct and immediate taxation rather than
the issuing OF bonds THIS seemed 10 be
ths attitude OF the speakers who professed
20 represent the views Of the Peoples
party.
IL il difficult to understand how such a
proposition can BE- seriously entertained.
The floating debt Of the city amounting
90 something over $500, 900 Was largely
incurred by reason of the improve
nents rendered absolutely necessary
BY the great FIRE. These improve.
nents were for the most part permanent
"a their character. All future generations
gill share the henee.s 49, oa.y of these
Improvements b.: 4.aJ "a aas improve
nenis made by individuals in the shape Of
magnificent business blocks, which will
stand - enduring monuments Of the pluck
and energy Of the present generation Of
the business men and property owners OF
Seattle.
10 Jas . result Of these Improvements. both
public and private, that have been made
since the ere Seattle today enjoys the
proud distinction of being the largest. best
buils and handsornes; city in the state Of
Washington. It's supremacy has been es-
tahlished for al time All OF this has not
been accomplished without individual
sacFifoes ,aat have been eheeriusiy made
BY eli citizens in proportion to their means
and ability.
To &sk nov that az additional burden
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1893-04-02

should b laid upon ell property holders
from the owner of the handsomest and
most costly business blocks in the city to
the owner Of the humblest home 10 to
ask something that is at once unwise and
unjust.
Let the generations that are to follow
bear their fair share of the cost of the ex-
penss that has been incurred in the up
building of the city. The burden will not
be heavy one to them. The bonded i'm
debtedness of Seattle is not large COM
pared with its resources. It is safe to say
that in five years the water plant can be
sold for more than enough to pay of the
entire debt Of the city.
If the money that is admitted to be
necessary Is raised by immediate taxation
il will take from the available resources Of
the city at this time money that will 9TH
erwise be used in industrial development
and in the employment OF labor. The
money that is raised by the issuing of
bonds will be money that will be brought
to the city from abroad and 80 much of it
- IL expended in new work and in taking
up outstanding warrants held in Seattle
will BE- 30 much added to the resources OF
the city.
The interests Of the workingmen Of the
city and Of the taxpayers are identical in
this matter. Both will be best subserved
BY the issuing Of bonds. Any other plan
10 not deserving Of serious consideration.

THE APPOINTED SENATOR'S.

The argument that Il being made against
sdmitting the senators appointed by the
governors of the states of Washington.
Wyoming and Montana II that it will tend
70 frequent failures Of legislatures to elect.
The Portland Oregonian says:
II IL certain that the admission OF these three
senators will encourage factional conspiracy in
eli the states and incrsass the number OF simi.
lar cases. to the dangerous lowering Of the
standard Of senatorial worth aud fitness.
This argument 10 entitled TO no weight
In fact the converse Of the proposition il
probably true. Fit II generally under
stood thst in tho event Of the failure Of the
Legislature 70 elect . senator the governor
has the power to appoint it will have but
one result. Every political convention
will in the interests OF party discipline
and good government pass stringent and
binding resolutions instructing candidates
for the legislature to 60 into caucus and
abide by the will OF the majority. In
other words, political parties will appre-
ciate the necessity Of promulgating and
enforcing the principle of majority rule -
safeguard against individual dishonesty
and treachery. Many men might have
the hardihood to ignore an implied pledge
to their party. but few would be found
who would venture to disregard explicit
instructions. A man who accepts Q nomi-
nation under certain expressed conditions
would hesitate to ignore them after cleo
ton. The infamy would then BE- too sp-

DistrIiug Rose IRerfanes-

We stopped before u hahn to look at a
,distillery and rose field and were well
coined by the proprietor, who was also
landlord of the inn. Seats were put for
us behind the brazier, where it was not
a little warm, and soon miniature cups
of coffee were presented to us by his rosy
checked wife.
In front of a long shed six large chal-
drons stood over the brazier, and into
these vessels about a el00 worth of
roses were .ut with warm water. The
iron tubes through which the vapor es-
capes passed through long tin recep-
tacle SNAPPED like trough, which was
filled with cold water, and below which
large glass bottles stood to receive the
first distillation. Three Installations are

pears.
We were shown a small bottle into
which the essence just distilled had been
poured The color is a rich, deep gold,
and the smell is strong, subtle and pene-
trating-Dleasant for the first instant,
but soon producing a sense of giddiness
and oppression in the head. 1t affects
everything near it, and the perfume
clings tenaciously even in the open air.
The proprietors are secured from be-
ing cheated, as the peasants cannot EN-
dure the perfume they themselves manu-
facture and make no use of it what

Rats in an English School.

In the summer holidays of 1858 the
floor of Long chamber in Elton school
was removed, and two large carloads OF
bones, chiefly of necks of mutton, were
taken from between the floor and the
ceiling of the rooms below. How they
came there was explained by Mr.. Car
ter, then vice provost. He told the pres
ent writer that when the sixth form
boys took their supper in chamber" the
rats were wont to come out of holes III
the floor and wainscot to feed on the
bones which were flung to them. When
these animals from time to time became
a nuisance by their numbers, a flag was
sent round while the rats were feeding
to insert long stockings in their holes
with the apertures carefully opened.
The modern sock was then unknown.
When this was done an alarm was
given. The rats on rushing to their holes
We're trapped in the stockings, which
were then drawn out, and the rats were
banged to death against the beds. And
YOU went into school next morning in
the same stockings, sir?" "Of course, OF
course" was the reply; 1--WE could not
get clean stockings when we pleased

From the Romans,

put your right foot foremost" is a
piece of advice that has been offered to
most folk, young and old, in the course
of their lives. 1t is generally equiva-
lent to saying, "Now's your chance; do
your very best and show what you are
capable Of" Like a great many COM
mon phrases this expression has an old
origin. In the days of ancient Rome,
when people were usually the slaves Of
some superstition or other, it was
thought to be unlucky to cross the
threshold of a house with the left foot
first. Consequently a boy was placed at
the door of the mansion to remind Wis
itors that they were to put their right
foot foremost. The use of the phrase in
the wider sense soon became Obvious
