few years, will be the only kind
that people with stomachs will dare
TO eat. We commend Mr.. Ireson

whom they are to cast their lot,
and bespeak for them patronage
and cOnsidera ton.

The tinkering with the civil service
system has begun in congress and ii is
plainly to be seen that the object is to
evade the restrictions thrown about
fees Probably the concession will
have to be made TO the illogical but
firmly intrenched notion that to the
victor belongs the spoils. The Repub-
iican party has been trying for years to
educate the people UP to higher con-
ception of citizenship and of self gov
eminent. but selfish interests have al
ways blocked the way. Whatever the
theory may be. there is no doubt that

Whether true or untrue that Governor
Black viii make the subject OF general
tax revision the principal feature II his
forthcoming message. there are few cues-
tons IN this state more worthy OF execu-
tive or public attention. The subject.
however. IS a large one, which cannot be
settled oY-hand. The tax laws OF New
fork are formed upon no sort OF scien-
tif'c principle. and are little better than
tumble OF conflicting attempts, made from
time 10 time. At securing equality OF tax
alton, with this result almost as far away
as ever. These laws represent efforts OF
one class OF taxpayers 10 shift their just
share Of public burdens upon some other
class. We tax inherisances, corporations
and the like 10 relieve owners OF real es-
tate. and then the latter fight among
themselves to escape real estate taxation
by the process called equalization Per-
sonal property in some counties escapes
taxation almost entirely. while in other
counties endeavor is made to tax II to the
last ascertainable dollar All this cannot
TAIL to work gross injustice. How TO cor
rect this wrong and bring something like
system out of chaos IS a difficult problem.
The only practical way would seem TO De
the appointment OF & commission OF ex-
perts TO study the subject patiently and
exhaustively and report It's conclusions TO
the legislature. This would. AZ least re-
duce the matter TO shape for intelligent
general discussion.

The proposition for the United States
government 20 obtain possession OF the
Danish West Indies comes naturally now.
In view OF the projects for annexation of
islands In another quarter. Tt Is not new
enterprise. Secretary Seward attempted
1t thirty years ago. and the project was
then so riddled In a speech Of Charles Sum.
ner In the senate that II had few supporters
in that body. The considerations that Mr..
Summer then presented against 1t were
very strong. and It is not at all probable
that their weight has been lessened by the
lapse of time. The late Edward l.. Pierce
had occasion to investigate the subject In
preparing his biography of Charles SUM-
ner. and he subsequently published
pamphlet In which he abundantly vindi-
Gated both the views of Mr.. Summer and
his manner Of enforcing them.

SEATTLE. FRIDAY. JAN. Z.
psTERcEssieN IN SOUTH AMERICA.

The prornptness of the government IN
sending a warship to watch American
interests In Uruguay may have more
than a passing effect II IL. perhaps
vgtse for this government not to inter
fsre actively In the affairs OF the South
American republics. but II Is very GER
tain that If there was show Of de-
termination 10 interpose whenever
revolution was threatened. there would
bf greater stability in those countries
The conflict now waging in Uruguay
is one in which the congress Is oppos-
ing the candidacy of president VINO
has become exceedingly popular. The
gress or chambers, as the legislative
l.ady Of that country is called, but there
has been popular uprising in behalf
Of the present president and there are
Indications that IL Is the purpose of at
least one of the factions to have him
dissolve the chambers and declare him
self dictator.
The United States government is SUI
ilcleutly Interested 10 protect the peo-
pie against the violation of their laws.
II Is we'll known that the bulk of the
people do not favor these revolutions
and they are as helpless as the Cubans
" hen the politicians set aside the laws
and stir up strife. There may not be
the same excuse for interfering in
civil war "a there IL where the war is
waecd hy foreign power like Spain,
bat so far az the interests Of this hemi-
sphere are concerned the principle is the
same
1t is 10 be hoped that some untoward
incident will happen compelling the
United States commander of the naval
forces in the Rio Platte Ia land some
marines and give the Iruguayans a
taste u? our strength and authority. II
that shall have good effect our inter-
cession viii he invited whenever an
other outbreak should occur
