A FAMILY QUARREL.-Ever since the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
took possession of the Tacoma water
front, nearly score Of years ago, the
city has been commercially tributary
to that octopodian corporation. Now,
since through the grace of the consti.
tuition and the privileges Of Statehood,
the city logically and legally comes in
possession OF large area of the bay
and mud-aats, it is suddenly discovered
that millions Of dollars are involved
in the ultimate ownership of the
property. The city has commenced
legal proceedings to recover possession
of the property included within it.
harbor lines as lately surveyed and
plated. But, corporation-like, the
railroad company refuses to bulge an
inch. Moreover, the railroad officials
declare that the wharves lately ruined
by the landslide shall not be rebuilt, te
the commercial advantage of the city
until the suit for the recovery of thu
water front fats shall have been with
drawn from the courts. This is .
thrust with q vengeance and riva
Sound towns are watching with goot
deal of interest the outcome of tn,
affair.

Oysterville property-owners have sub.
scribed q subsidy OF so acres of land

Mr.. Gellerman because it is free from
saloons and other evil influences. The
large and commodious building occu'
pied by the county officers previous to
the removal of the county seat to
South Bend has been donated for the
college and the Oysterville hotel, now
closed, will be converted into dormi

Queer Economy.

1t will be noted that the Olympian
omits to publish the City Council
proceedings this week, and the only
inference that can be drawn from it is
desire to shield that body from the
blame, if any should attach, from their
award of the city advertising to the
highest bidder, the Olympidn, at rates
more than three times greater than
the lowest bid submitted for the ser
vice.
Let us consider for moment the
possible arguments, pro and con for
such action. There may be some adj
vantage, occasionally, in reaching the
public sooner than the publication day
OF weekly newspaper may come
but this is in those active times when
contracts are to be let and money to
pay for public improvements is plenti'
full, and affairs are conducted in a
hip, hurrah" style as in times gone
by. There is very little city advertis
ing to be done now, and either OF the
weekly papers would have served a:
we'll, if not better, than the daily
Olympian, inasmuch IS they have q
more general circulation. 1t is a fact
that is very easily verified, that nc
country daily has a circulation out
side of tho little community in which
it is published, except copies sent tc
exchanges or possibly few stray
copies sent gratuitously to serve a.
anchors to the windward." The
weekly made up from such a daily
may have q fair circulation. in tha
county surrounding, but absolutely
| none in the town where published
The Olympian is no exception to this
rule, while all its contemporaries cir.
culate in both town and county. Now
it may be possible that somebody liv'
ing in the country owns city property
and pays municipal taxes. Would moi
service which would reach him be
the preferable. There may be man,
people who do not "take" q daily
paper who are as vitality interested
in the city announcements as those
who do, and who may not be able
to pay ten dollars . year for the in
formation.
Then again, if the Council intended
to ignore the bids of weekly papers
why did it spend the peoples money
in advertising for bids? Why &C
through the farce of formally opening
the proposals, if the Olynepian was to
have the contract" at its own fig
ures! If daily newspaper is prefer
able for the service, why was it that
previous Councils, composed partly Of
the same members, have postponed
the award from meeting to meeting
when there was no competition, on
the ground that q combine" had
been formed. while the most urgent
endsavqrs we're being made to induce
some one of the weekly publishers to
break The alleged trust?
Has our city become better able to
pay high prices than it was a couple
Of years ago? Has the Olympian's
service improved so wonderfully that il
now overshadows its contemporaries
so.completely that they are no longer
worthy of consideration? Has the
| time for retrenchment passed by, and
are we again entering upon the hal
cyon days of yore?

ANNUAL SUFFRAGE CONVENTION
In accordance with resolution passed
at the last meeting of the Association
in Washington, the Twenty-seventh
Annual Convention of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
will be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in De
Gives Opera House, January 81 to
February 5. The object of these con-
ventions is to educate women into .
knowledge of their rights and duties
as citizens of q republic. and through
them to arouse the nation to . sense
Of the national wrong perpetrated by
the disfranchisement of half the peo-
pie OF the United States, in opposition
to the principles OF government de-
clared by our laws and constitutions.
While Colorado's full enfranchise-
ment of women, in 1893, is encourag-
ing, the defeat of the suffrage amend
ments in New York and Kansas, in
1894. shows how largely men still fail
when called upon to put in practice
the principles they enunciate. Though
twenty-six States have granted some
slight concessions to women citizens,
in no States of the Union, save Wyo-
ming and Colorado, are women yet
admitted to the dignity Of equal rights
in citizenship. In only six States of
the Union are mothers conceded to be
legal owners of their own children.
