Kitsap Comfy Conditions.

The republican party will put a
clean ticket in the field and it is safe
to predict that it will sweep everything
before it. Many prominent democrats
have expressed their intention of SIM
porting straight republican ticket
for the reason they desire a chance in
the administration of the affairs Of
the county and know it can be broucbt
about only through the republican
party. Likewise ticket, composed
OF honorable men, will receive hearty
support from many populists who
believe in good government and have
been sadly disappointed by the tnrn
things have taken under the present
regime.
The republican party is STRONGER
today in this county than it has ever
been before and each day adds to its
strength. The fact that # is tho o,,,v
party capable of governing wisely and
honestly Is very apparent and has
been demonstrated to the entire satis-
faction OF the voters and taxpayers of
this county.

The Burlington System.

The extension of the Burling ton &
Missouri River r. r. to connection
with the Northern Pacific at Billings,
| Mont, will revOlutionfze the railroad
situation of the Northwest. A new
route to Chicago and the East is only
one-and perhaps the least important
of the results it will bring about.
Direct communication with Omaha,
st. Joseph, Kansas City, st. Louis and
the rich territory south and southeast
of those cities will be established. An
enormous saving in time and distance
will be effected. AS an instance, note
that between Helena and Omaha the
new line will be nearly 400 miles
shorter and 80 hours quicker than any
other route.
1t is authoritively given out that a
close traffic agreement with the North
ern Pacific will be entered into and
that through train service between
Portland and Chicago is among the
possibilities.
The interests of this and adjoining
states and those of an immense por-
ton of the territory tributary to the
Burlington system are mutual. We
produce what they need; they, what
we must have. And the Burlington's
new line will be the natural avenue of
exchange. Nebraska, Kansas and
Missouri, for example, are heavy pur-
chasers of Washington lumber. Last
year over 5000 carloads were shipped
to Omaha alone.
The construction of the extension
is being pushed with the utmost vigor
and there is every reason to believe
that it will be completed and in run
ming order long before snow flies this
fall

A Serious Problem.

Among the many serious and diff
cult problems confronting the Ameri-
can people at this time, one of the
most important is that of immigra-
ton. 1t is fact patent to all that a
large proportion of the immigration
now daily landing upon our shores is
not such as will make desirable citi-
zens. Every honest, intelligent, in
dustrious, law abiding man, come
from whence he may, should be well
coined to our shores. He will add to
our civilization and prosperity. But
we cannot hope to assimilate the mass
OF ignorance, crime, filth and pauper-
ism daily dumped upon our soil from
southern Europe. Their presence is a
danger, which grows as the number
increases.
The problem is so complicated that
no one can hope for perfect solution
all at once, Any step that direction
should receive our hearty indorse-
ment. The Stone bill providing fol
consular inspection on the other side
is such a step. There is no reason why
the immigrant should come 1000
miles to determine whether he is adj
Missile or not. It is much better fo1
him to know that before he starts
and that fact can certainly be more
accurately ascertained where he lives
than on the other side of the globe
1t is to be hoped that this measure
will become law, and to that end
every citizen should lend his in
fuence.-Olympian.

Tests of the Reckless Boat

MOrrison's rockies boat has been
taken out to Cape Flattery. It is caus-
ing considerable interest along the
waterfront. For several days before
leaving for the cape Mr.. Morrison
cruised around in the harbor. The
waves were small, but the rocking of
the boat was scarcely perceptable.
Tuesday as the steamer Flyer was on
her way from Seattle to this city, the
reckless boat sailed very close to her
course, but Notwithstanding the
steamers heavy swell, sufficient to
rock the large ocean steamships, it is
said by those on the steamer that the
reckless boat did not rock. Captain
w. Alexander Thompson, who was
aboard the Flyer at the time, said that
the boat, though it rose and fell with
the large waves, did not roll at all. cit
went over the waves with a peculiar
gliding motion that had mover before
seen" said he. The boat is now being
tested out in the straits, where large
waves come in from the ocean.

A Selfish Proposition.

Charles Seymour, formerly of this
city, writing from Ohio on the letter
head of the Defiance Machine Works.
says the trade of his company is every
much hampered by the Mckinley en-
bargo," admitting, however, that his
company has a rapidly increasing
English and continental trade. We
suppose, however, says the Olympian,
that he would insist that their trade
was in spite of the Mckinley tariff,
and not the result of it. Therefore, it
is still an embargo.
just what their trade is, we are not
informed, but it is evident that Mr..
Seymour would be willing to open our
markets without limitation that his
particular line might flourish. 1t is
probable his people can more than
compete with the foreign article OF
like manufac ture but it is our guess
that it was protection that made il
possible for them to invade the foreign
markets. They have reached a point
where they can successfully export
and in their short-sighted selfishnes.
they would repeal protective duties
wherever the foreigner demanded it
They would destroy hundred Others

They would jeopardize others home

England and on the continent. While

they would invite the Saracens of mo

J 1t is a very common hallucination
and only experience-a demonstra
tion-can convince some manufactur
ers that they cannot flourish in the
midst of distress.
1t is enough if Mr.. Seymour's com
pany can increase it's trade "rapidly'
as he says, without asking specia
favors for the foreign producer. The
foreign buyer does not patronize the
Defiance works because he wants to
He gets better article, and therefore
he has to buy it. In the commercial
lexicon there is such word as MUST

Trouble with the People.

"A pam iAOOJ VII hSSN>A 40
issued by a joint committee OF Far
mers Alliance, Trades Unions and
Knights of Labor of Oregon, gives the
following definitions of the much
talked of principles.
"The initiative means that any citl-
zen may write proposed law, and II a
number of voters to be fixed by the
constitution, shall petition in its
favor, the secretary of state must sub
NIT it to a vote of the citizens at the
next election. The legislature has no
power over the initiative method OF
making laws. The law is prepared by
some of the people, filed with the sec
rotary of state and by him sent direct
to the people at the ballot box.
"The referendum means that the leg
islature must refer all its bills to the
voters at the ballot box, and before any
act can become a law it must receive
a majority of the votes cast. All pro-
posed laws are published by the state,
city, county, or district accord
ing as to whether it is state, city,
county or district measure. With
each law is printed a short statement
of the reasons for and against its
enactment"
| The Telegraph, in discussing the
subject, gives, in our opinion, the key
note of the trouble:
THE pamphlet gives a number OF
reasons why the adoption of the initia-
tive and referendum would be desira-
BILE, and to a certain degree we endorse
much that is said On the subject, but
something more than a constitutional
amendment to provide for these things
is needed to ensure honest legislation.
We now have the spirit of the refer
endum in the laws which provide for
popular vote upon questions involv-
ing an addition to the bonded indeb-
tedness of counties and municipali-
ties, but experience has shown that the
popular vote is not always an adequate
protection against recklessness. AT
the same time we are not without
proof that they frequently serve as a
safeguard against extravaganza. But
we must get deeper down tnan any
thing which can be put on paper if we
are to insure that only those laws will
be passed which are needed in the
best interests of the people. We need
to have the public conscience educat-
ed so that citizenship:will be recognized
by all men who enjoy it as imposing
gravest responsibilities"
The trouble lies with the people.
Popular votes will not necessarily be
on the right side, unless the people
themselves are educated to reason for
themselves, to look out for the public
interests, and to avoid the influence
of scheming politicians. However
the voters are fast becoming educated
| in the schools of experience.
