must not be forgotten that the fact that

ceesisng was the sfrics alignment OF
parties. The Republicans. Populisss and
Democrats all accepted II as a party
measure, and placed themselves on rec
ord accordingly In the senate every vote
cast against the mischievous resolution
was Republican. with ore exception. and
that was Caffery. VINO Is both a
protectionist and against free silver.
ard may therefore be said TO be
more nearly Republican than
Democrat In the house there was
only one Republican desertion and
two Democratic accessions- This resoiu-

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SEATTLE, WEDNESDAY, FEB.
A LICENSE FOR ALIENS.

The Post-Inteliigencer calls pubic at
teslt;oa TO the fact that there are now
in operation In Seattle several so-calied
bureaus of information representing
alien cities In efforts to divert Alaska
and klondike traffic from this city to
their own. There could and would or
dinarily be no objection to location here
of Victoria and Vancouver bureaus;
but under the presen. circumstances
their Intrusion is impudent. uneailed for
and wholly undesired.
What are they doing? 1t Is their mis-
sion to take from Seattle a traffic
brought here AT the expense OF great.
continued and united effort. and the
employment Of no little money in legiti-
cate channels. In other words. they
are sent here for the purpose Of stealing
the fruits of the enterprise of our bust
ness men and citizens generally. II is
not necessary TO discuss at length the
damage TO the general welfare these for
eign agents are seeking to intiict. II is
perfectly obvious.
There IL a remedy. and 1t lies in the
hands of the city council The Post
Inteliigeneer urges upon that body to
get together at once and enact an ordi-
nance imposing a license upon all PER
sons, agencies or corporations In Seat
tie engaged in soliciting business or
traffic for foreign cities as a whole or
for transportation lines operating ex-
eiusiveiy from those cities. The ordi-
nance could easily be SO framed that 1t
would reach only the class at which It
Is aimed. and not interfere with ether
established interests. The license
should be high. II IL Is paid. the city
Will be in some measure compensated
for possible loss of business. if it is not.
its object cannot b. said to have been
defeated.
This matter has been made the sub
1ect of Investigation, and that such an
ordinance would be held 10 be valid
there Is no doubt. II should be distinct
~ understood that It's purpose Is TO inn
pose a license on the agents OF alien
cities. and not upon our neighhors In
the United States or Alaska
We trust that tho mayer and council
wlll give this important matter theii
Immediate attention.

The fight between David b. Hill and
Richard Croker is assuming very in
teres,ing phase The boss OF the state
and the boss OF the city have never
been on very good terms. but self-inter-
est has kept them from an open breach.
When Mr.. Croker. in the hour OF his
eiation over his success in capturing
the municipality, served notice on Hill
that he regarded Senator Murphy as
the leader OF the Democratic party in
the state, Mr.. Hill said nothing. He
took occasion a little later to remark
to a friend conveniently for publication
thar he had observed the size of
Cookers new hat. but that he saw no
particular cause for juhilation in hav-
ing carried New York with a minority.
To which Mr.. Croker duly replied that
he intended re-electing his friend Mr..
Murphy to the United States senate
Now the war Is on. Cookers first
move was to form a Democratic club.
membership In which was extended to
the leading Democrats of the state in
order that they may have chance to
put themselves on record as being in ac-
cord with Mr.. Cookers policy to relegate
Mr.. Hill to oblivion. AT first IL was in
timated that absence would be con-
strued as a mark OF enmity TO Croker.
to be resented in the usual manner, but
so many remained away that Mr.
Croker had to hide his CLUB" and re-
sort TO persuasion. Seekers after Office
were told that they must join the DEM
ocratic club in order to be in good
standing and those who had no favors
10 ask were urged 70 join for the sake
of the party. AS there was an initia-
ton fee the number of those who hur-
ried to join was limited to those who
expected to reap some pecuniary bene-
fit. The result is that Hills friends are
very much amused.
Whether Hill is justified in smiling in
derision of Croker depends very much
upon the attitude to be taken by Hugh
Mclaughlin. the boss of Brooklyn. He
has announced his intention to retire
from politics. but he will in the nature
| OF things have considerable influence.
| He can control nearly all of the dele
| gates from Kings county to the state
| convention. There are $50 assembly dis
| tricts in the state. of which 81 are in
/ Greater New York. Each assembly dis
/ trict is entitled to three delegates. Hugh
| McLaughlins sixty-three men, com
bined with the upstate leaders, will

Rensselaer, county, with its nine dele
gates. will. of course. be with Tam
home. and one thing TO be considered
is that Murphy controls the state COM

The supposed political programme is
that Murphy shall be elected senator;
that Carter Harrison shall have the
nomination for president, with Mayor
Van Wyck for vice president. and
