nrRS, WISE CONCLUSION.

Debs is credited with having said that
strikes would be abandoned and that rem
edy for evils will hereafter be sought at
the ballot box. To this every American
viii respond Amen" There are millions
OF people IN this country who. in spite OF
many grievances, have an unbounded
faith in the genius OF republican Insti-u-
tons and in the main principles underlying
our system OF government
IL Is those people 70 whose antipathy
to strikes-peaeeable or otherwise-riots,
boycotts and every other form of resis-
lance except by legislation and adjudica-
ton by lawfully constituted tribunals.
that Debs and such as he have owed most
OF their impoteney. 1t is not that people
lack In sympathy for their fellow sufferers
but they dread the consequences of oeyia-
ton from well settled methods OF govern
ment.
Debs' political aspirations may have
suggested the new policy, as asserted. but
that has no bearing upon the subject. II
his object is a commendable one and his
methods OF reaching ii wise, II need not
concern US that ne exercises his right OF
American citizenship and seeks to further
his ends in en- Office Of distinction. he IS,
however, but new convert TO doctrine
the advocacy OF which by others has
brought down upon them his sarcasm and
his animadverslon.
with his clearer views all may agree.
The enactment Of laws which shall bear
h. = ia ,.rr n
them upon all without discrimination are
the ultima thule OF the best and wisest
system OF government. II may not always
be attained but II should always be sought.
II IS not to be reached by laws which rec
ogn.ze classes or impose unequal burdens,
which relieve from responsibility one class
Of property 20 tho disadvantage Of another.
one OF the most vicious defects in our
present system Is the application OF tax
laws. No law VIA long be left on the stat
ute books which bears harshly upon all
alike, but there are laws now retained be-
cause OF the advantage they afford TO
some to the injury Of others. The chief
fault. however, is the partially shown in
their application, and this can only be rem
edied by a clear and decidedly strong pub
lie opinion. It is impossible to devise a
means by which officials shall always be
efficient and conscientious, but their duty
will always be performed with reasonable
integrity II they are sustained and CO.
creed by a powerful moral force in politics
Strikes are Objectionable because their re-
suit is uncertain. loss is inevitable and falls
alike upon the innocent and the guilty, and
because they find no place in our institu-
tons. They have been forced at times be-
cause there was no other adequate remedy
provided by law. and the absence OF a
means Of redress must always provoke
self-enorts. They are. at best. however,
but a barbarous resort in a land where the
ballot should afford an efiicaclous weapon
In the hands of the oppressed. Debs has
been awakened TO a great truth; and If he
acts as wisely as he talks he Will find no
lack OF support.

SEATTLE, SATURDAY, OCT. Ie.
CONVENTION REPRESENTATIONS.

The periodical discussion of the Re
publican method OF apportioning dele
gates 20 the national convention has
broken out again. The present method.
also adopted by the Democrats. Is TO ac-
cord each state two delegates for every
congressional representative. This has.
for several years, been declared unfair,
because II gives the South such an un-
due influence in proportion TO the num-
Der OF party votes cast. This question
does not trouble the Democrats much of
course. but Il has ranked for several
years In the Republican organization.
The disproporton is very marked. For
instance. In the national election of iS92
there were 9i97 Republican votes .eturn-
ed from Alabama. which state has twenty
two representatives in the coming conven-
tion. In Pennsylvania there were 4ig3iS
Republican votes. which state has sixty
four representatives, according TO tie
present arrangement. In other words. Al
ALBANIA has delegate for every as Repub-
lican votes. while Pennsylvania has one
delegate for every 500 votes. The result
of this is that each Alabama Republican
has sixteen times as much influence and
power in determining the nomination and
policy OF the Republican party as the
Pennsylvania voter. Extreme cases are
taken. but there IS on the face of the ar
Management an injustice which has lei TO
the proposition 10 base the number Of
delegates upon the party vote in each
state.
II would seem unwise. however. 20 at
tempt any change just now when tAe Old
party lines are being obliteratcd and now
ones are being formed. The prospect OF
increased Republican strength ia the
South was never SO good as now. and Il
would be injudicious To check that dispo-
siton. The party las not materially SUI
ferea IN the past by the results, and the
objection will probably lessen each Year
az the Republican vote grows.
While the South could not defend the
present system. a sentiment has grown up.
and any onrort to beli,tle its Importance il
national councils or 10 wound partcu-
larry sensitive section would DE exceed
inely bad politics.

THE SMITHS COVE TIDE LANDS.

Seattle, Oct. II, 1885.
To the Editor: In your issue OF the Nth
inst. appears an article from the pen or
Morgan J. Carkeek in reference TO the

its interference with the government
canal, which we need and should have.
The people Of this city have time and
again said that they wanted the north
canal and | am with them on that propo-
sition and viii do my utmost to hasten its
construction. BY making the cut in ques-
ton, in connection with the filing in of
these tide lands. we save TO the govern
ment the sum of $s4S, coo, the estimated
cost, without one cents cost on our part.
II lies in our power TO secure the cen
struction OF the canal into Smiths cove.
where IL should go, and free of cost, al
though the other route costs the govern
nlent $500, 900 less, IL the government
makes the cut from Smiths cove TO
Salmon BAY. This government canal has
been sIumbering long enough and il is
high time the citizens of this city wake
up to a realizing sense OF the situation.
Very respectfully, J. E. CREIGHTON.
