wHIrEFl,H IN THE LAKE.
The Fish Commission Will See How
Many There are.

The United States fish commission.
through the aid OF George i. Myers, the
canneryman, and deputy representing
the department, will begin SEEMING Tor
whitefsh in Lake Washington during the
coming week That the lake contains the
fish of that variety in immense quantities
the department is confident. for While the
whitefisn is not a fish that bites al a hook
once in thousand times. a great many OF
them have been caught lately in one way
or another. The attention of the officials
having been directed TO this fact, the ex-
perimenting viii begin al an early date. as
stated.
The full history of the planting and ex-
perimenting with whitefesh in Lake
Washington is long one. Briefly. how
ever, the first steps Of consequence were
taken in 1889. when George t. Myers fur
nished the government commission with
So. 600 fry. They were shipped here by
rail and Fred E. Sander. at that time in
charge OF the Yesler way cable line. taking
great interest in the matter. gave the free
use OF his road for the representatives.
The fry were deposited with great care in
suitable places. but since that time the
statements have been frequent that moth
ing had or would ever come of them. In
the meantime some experiments have been
made, but with Indifferent and sometimes
unsatisfactory results.
When the two car loads OF black bass
were put in by the direction OF Senator
Squire. in 1890, 1t was feared that the lat
ter would entirely exterminate the former.
This apprehension seems 10 have been
sroundless, from the fact that the fry of
the whitefish must have grown and been
sprightly enough TO look out for them
selves before the black bass had hardly
Matched.

rection of the commission viii use drag

POSTAL PRIMARIES.

Editor Herald: In the literature sen.
out by the League for Better City Gov
ernment it appears that a system of pos
tai card voting is adopted, which, in
my judgment, is fatally defective. 1t Is
explained that thorough democracy is
permitted to all the members by this
new way of voting, but goes on to say
that in case no candidate gets a major
ity vote, the nominating will then be
done in convention in the usual way.
Now in order to reach the largest pos
sible number of league members, offer
them, through the pages of The Herald,
an amendment to their plan. 1t is known
as the Hare Preferential system of vot-
ing. 1t insures an election on the first
ballot, and also gives as great variety
of choice of candidates as is possible by
repeated balloting. Suppose there are
ten candidates for office. Each voter
simply indicates his degree of prefer
ence by numbering each name on the
ballot sheet, 1. 8. I, 2, 10, etc.
BY so numbering he is but stating
how he would have voted on the second.
he became convinced that his first choice
could not be elected.
In counting the ballots, first ascertain
If any candidate has a majority of first
choice votes. If not then A, say, who
got the largest number of first choice,
relinquishes them to the one who gets
the largest number of second choice
votes. 1t may be that the same man
would get the largest number of first and
also the largest number of second choice
votes, but go always by the number of
votes and the degree of choice. If the
addition of first and second choice votes
were still insufficient, proceed to third,
fourth, ETC., until majority is obtain
ed. In practice this method is much
simpler than it appears in explanation.
Numerous organizations are now using
1t with unqualified success. By it, an
election by postal is secured. By the
other plan, if five or six are to be voted
for, an election is all but impossible, pop
ular choice is defeated and the effort is
wasted. w. c. B. RANDOLPH.

A Willy SCHEME.

Editor Herald: I have noticed on your
streets lately number of men who pose
as workingmen, talking in favor of the
gold standard. I have watched them,
and tell you they are men sent here for
the business by the Hanna Co." They
find a crowd of honest men talking on
the silver question and they worm them
selves in and take up the argument for
gold. They do it to stop the free silver
sentiment. These men are going to be
sent all over this country in thousands
before election to talk up the gold stand
ard. Warn the people against these peo-
pie who are hired by money to strangle
honest sentiment and sympathy for the
peoples cause.
