ing business in New York he said:
From October until New Years the
clothing business was really good In New
York. fully as good as previous years. OF
course money Is scarce in all lines of
trade. but this is due entirely to a ,ant
OF confidence as to the kind of money we
are gong to have and money owners are
nor gong to part with their dollars until
they know where they stand: whether
gold or silver is to be standard. They
don't care which II Is. and 1t wouit. even
be all right II leather would be selected

Is that when they make a loan they will

THE MEASUREvE
The Side-Entrance Ordinance
Will Not Be Signed,
BECAUSE IT IS DEFECTIVE
Mayer Phelps objects 90 the FERN Of
the Proposed Lava More Strfn-
gent Bnn 80 Re sabmifted.

Mayer Phelps has prepared and signed
his veto OF TIE sside entrance ordinance
rece1-Iv passed by the council The
veto will be read before the council This
evening and viii be accompanied by 3
new ordnance. drafted and approved by
the license and ordinance committees OF
pc;h houses under the supervision Of the
mayor. the compsroiler and the corpora
ton counsel The new ordinance is de-
signed % place even greater restriction
on the lsaucr traffic, and will. in fact. be
revision Of the law regulating the sale
OF iIquor.
The following is Mayor Phelps veto in
full:
TO the honorable the board OF alder
men-Gentlemen:
II return herewith. without my APP
prevail. beard OF aldermen bill No. 1888.
entitled An ordinance regulating saloon
entrances and signs. and providing PEN
aities for the violation OF the provisions
thereof. for the reason that in my judg-
ment 1t is defective and does not clearly
carry cut the intent of fits trainers aud
supporters. while II imposes burdensome
restrictions upon those who, under H.
censes granted by the city. are conduct
Ing legitimate liquor business.
-As I take 1t, the purpose of the franz
ers OF This measure was 10 close the
side entrances commonly known as
ladies entrances and family entrances
to saloons ! am heartily In favor OF
such measure. believe that the license
of any saloon which is frequented by
women. lswd or otherwise, or which furn-
fshes facilities IN the way of side en-
frances. provides rooms ar boxes for the
surreptitious entrance Of women or men,
or for the harboring of abandoned wo-
men. should be revoked by the city coun-
Gil. So long as II Is the policy OF the
city of Seattle 70 license the liquor traffic.
those who are licensed have certain rights
which, should be respected, but I do not
believe that any saloon should be al
lowed to have prostitution or gambling
as side issue.
The bill from which withhold my APP
prevail was prepared IN great haste and
passed through both houses with but
little consideration. The license ordi-
nance committees of both houses. acting
with the law and license departments.
have during the past few days revised
the general ordinance governing the sraf-
fic In Intoxicating liquors. and have In
this new bill incorporated the essential
provisions OF board of alderman bill 1893
In such way that there can be no legal
objection 20 its enforcement. The rev
bill. ! am Informed, covers the desired
point cffectually and places other strin-
gent restrictions upon the liquor traffic.
Yours respectfully.
BYRON PHELPS, Mayor"
The new bill. having met with the
approval of the finance and ordinance
committees of the two houses, will prob
ably be passed without any trouble.

During the7zss couple OF years Wash

chants ~ this city are. shipping In but
little from outside markets, whereas
formerly about four -fifths OF the goods
CONSUMED hers. were shipped IN. Tass
was during the time that peoples at
tentlon was absorbed IN real estate
speculations and other schemes. and 1t
was not until the hard times SET IN
that proper attention was paid 10 the
cultivation IF the soil OF the state.
which has proved itself as fertile AZ
any In the Union. Farmers In the east
sarn part OF the state are paying more
attention TO irrigation problems, ana
have united In an endeayor 90 secure
favorable Legislation in the present ses-
sion on that question.
1t has been shown during the past
season that enough eggs can be Sc
cured in the state to supply all de-
nsands, and the receipts of Eastern
stock are gradually growing less. 1t is
well known that at certain seasons OF
the year hens stop laying, and a sys-
tsn of storage is being studied which.
when perfected. will be the means of
supplying the state entirely. The rails
ing OF poultry for the market is also
receiving more attention by the farm
ers, and with the exception OF turkeys,
is all being supplied by this state.
About one-tfaird Of the turkeys con-
summed In this market during the last
season were shipped In from neighbo--
ing states and the East. It is the
opinion of all produce men In this city
that this can be remedied. and not
only enough grown for this market.
bu. also for export purposes.
The soil OF the state Il particularly
adapted 10 the raising Of vegetables of
all descriptions. and sufficient Is raiSed
to satisfy the demands Of trade. with
the exception of few months In the
winter season. when we are compelled
10 import from California. The quail
superior. to that received from Cali
fornia. and In season Is In great de-
mand In outside markets. Yakima po-
fatoes are now being shipped to the
California market and bringing top
figures.
Everything considered. II is fair to
predict that next year Washington will
take her place among the states ex-
porting farm. produce. Her farmers
are Thoroughly asive to the situation.
and are convinced that they are pcs
SCISSORS OF as fine soil for such purposes
as can be found anywhere on earth.

EvrEcr OF CLIMATE OK HEALrn.

The Weather Bureau to Collect Inform
alton Sanitary Climatniogy.
A new departure has been made by
Mark w. Harrington, chief OF the wealth
er bureau. In the direction Of ascertain
ing the effect Of the climate in different
sections OF the country on health and
disease. Under instructions from the
secretary of agriculture, he has under
taken the systematic investigation Of the
subject. which will naturally be of in
terest TO residents In the Puget Sound
country. where the death rate is lower in
the cities than In any other section of
the country. In circular on the subject
Mr.. Harrington says:
1T Is hoped TO maks the proposed inves-
tigaticn of interest and value TO ALL hut
especially to the medical and sanitary
professions, and 10 the large number
OF persons who seek. by visitation OF
health resorts and change OF climate,
either to restore health or prolong lives
incurably affected or 10 ward of threat
enei disease.
The study OF the climates of the coun-
try in connection with the Indigenous DIS
eases should be OF material service to
every community. In showing to what
degree local climatic pecuiiarities nay
favor or combat the development of the
different diseases. and by suggesting. in
many instances. supplementary sanitary
precautions. also by indicating to what
parts of the country invaIids and health.
seekers may be sent to find climatic sur
roundings best adapted to the allevia-
ton or cure of their particular cases.
The hearty cooperation of the various
boards Of health, pabiic sanitary author
tiles. sanitary associations ana societies.
and OF physicians who may feel an in
terest in the wssk. Is asked to achieve
and perfect the aims OF this inves.iga-
ton.
No compensation can be offered for
this cooperation other than 10 send, free
or cost, the publications of the bureau
bearing upon ciimatology and its rela-
ton to health and disease to all those
who assist in the work.
Cooperation will consist In sending to
this office reports of vital statistics from
the various localities. That these reports
may be OF value. 1t Is eviden. to all that
they should be accurate ana completes.
and be rendered promptly. and regularly.
Blank forms OF reports have been pre-
pared so as to occasion as little trouble
and labor as possible ON the part of the
reporter, and will be furnished by the
bureau on application.
AT the very beginning OF the investi-
CATION II is not possible to outline precisely
the channels through which the results
obtained will be. made public, but il is
hoped to publish soon a periodical devoted
to eiimatology and It's relations TO health
and disease The publication will prob
ably resemble in size and general appear

view. the subject matter being. of course.

More detailed information will be furn-
ished on ap2iication.''

Tho Broken Pledge

A recent Washington letter informs us
that the Treasury officials will now oc-
cupy themselves in formulating some plan
for raising the much needed revenue that
was expected from the income tax. An in
crease Of internal revenue duty on whs-
key and beer seems to be the favorite
scheme of She Treasury officials, and even
tea and coffee, they think, can be taxed"
Apparently these members of the Demo
cratic party who have got into office on the
solemn pledge of the party to levy customs
duties for revenue only, and who have
turned their backs upon that pledge, and
branded their party as u fraud and liar, have
now no intention Of going back to that
noble programme and raising the necessary
revenue by the means they promised before
the election of 1892
