A special dispatch to the Post-Intel-
ligencer from Washington throws new
light upon the insane Jealousy OF Ia

can be learned, complaints OF irregu-
larry have no other ground than the
allegation that passengers on steam
ships leaving Sound ports at the date
Of enumeration were counted. II these
people were not enumerated elsewhere.

mt bv the discussion. 1t is not
case of exhaustion of immediate sup
piv. but the more important question
whether. with the increased cost. Brit
ish coal can hold its own marker
against the cheaper mined American
product: with the still more important
coroilary, whether British manufac-
turers can compete successfully in the
worlds markets with the American
manufacturer who has the cheaper fuel
supply.
That this is not question for the
remote future, but OF Immediately
pressing interest, is shown by the fact
that coal has advanced five shillings
a ton in England recently There are
many places in the United States today
where manufacturers can obtain coal
for their uses at price no greater
than five shillings a ton. The fuel cost
is one of the large items In many class
es OF manufactures. The increase in
the price to the British manufacturer
imposes on him an additional handicap
in the competition for the worlds mar
kets, in which the American is already
giving him close race.

Senator Stewart. OF Nevada. is the
latest to announce that he will vote
for Mckinley. The Silver Republicans
are coming over faster than one can

party left to make up ticket When
the Silver Republicans demand recog-
milton from the Populists and Demo-
Gratis 1t might be good idea for the
latter to demand a showing OF the
real Silver Republican strength. The
disclosure would probably result in
the Populists and Democrats dividing
everything between themselves.

The latest development in the scan
dial created by Land Commissioner
Bridges when he extended the contract
of the Seattle & Lake Washington
charge that was made by the Post-In-
telllgencer at the time, and adds, new
and IL possible more offensive features.
Not content with extending a contract
grossly unfair to the public. without
notice to the parties interested and
without any show Of due diligence.
Bridges proceeded to make the COM
pany the recipient OF further favors.
He granted to It permission to change
the style OF bulkhead called for by
the contract to one which IL said to
be cheap. inferior and certain to be-
come worthless within short time.
The extension. with this added con-
dition. was presented to Gov. Rogers
for his approval. But whatever may
be the faults OF Gov. Rogers. he Is not
the man to lend himself to this style Of
jobbery. The indication il that the
Waterway company not only wished
now concessions. but did not feel ne.
cure OF the validity OF the acts OF
Bridges unless they had executive con-
firmation. This the governor says that
he will not give without a complete
investigation and hearing Of all the
parties interested.
The impudence OF Bridges in this
matter passes all bounds. His extern
sion OF the contract was surreptitious
and unwarranted by any consideration
that should move public official in the
discharge OF his duty. His attempt to
grant new favors is as bold defiance
Of public opinion and public right. For
II is notorious that. were the extern
sion valid. the company has forfeited
IL by It's failure to commence work
within ninety days from the date Of
the famous, OF Infamous, agreement
In those three months II did nothing
the other its showing Of good faitt
consisted In driving a few piles ant
mooring dredge in the vicinity. Thi,
has since been removed. and the scene
OF the supposed work is as undisturbed
by any activity on the part Of the
company as II has been for some years
past
The present status OF the case IL a
confession Of the character Of the
whole transaction. The only wonder
is that Bridges ala no, make deed OF
gift ot all the tide lands whose title
is In the state. or in private parties

Fairly Treated.

Certain Democratic newspapers, In
tent upon fomenting discord IL possible
in the Republican ranks. are asserting
that Eastern Washington was unfairly
treated by the recent Republican con-
vention. 1t has. they say. compare
lively slight representation on the tick
ct, and they back this with the assump-
ton that there is discomfort In the par
ty ranks because of inadequate recog-
milton.
There is not the slightest foundation
in fact for either charge. Eastern
washington was not unfairly treated,
and the Republicans OF that section
are not in any degree disgruntled or
complaining No~county and no portion
OF a state expects to get from conven-
ton anything that it does not ask for.
Candidates appear and make their APP
peal for party support weeks or months
in advance There are always more OF
them than there are offices; and ex-
cept in case Of deadlock and the
bringing out of dark horse, no man,
no matter where he may hail from, IL
named for Office unless his friends have
made an effort to secure II during the
campaign.
In all the discussion and political ac-
ton prior to the meeting of the last
convention. but five men from Eastern
Washington appeared as candidates for
recognition by the party. One OF these
was named in connection with the gov
ernorship. The unanimous selection OF
Mr. Frink made this out OF the ques-
ton from the outset: but this gentle
man was chosen as one OF the presiden-
tial electors. There was an Eastern
Washington candidate for state treas
urer. In the alignment of forces at the
convention he identified his candidacy
with that OF those who proved to be a
minority OF the convention. No one
biames him for that: but. since an OPP
posing candidate from another county
threw his votes to the winning combi-
nation. II was the fortune OF war that
he should be successful. A third East
ern Washington candidate was named
for the attorney generaiship, and was
nominated for supreme Judge; posi-
ton certainly not inferior In dignity
or honor. The fourth honor asked by
Eastern Washington was a representa-
tive in congress, which was granted.
The important Office of state auditor
was given to the same section.
II thus appears that Eastern WASH
ington secured four places on the tick
ct that she had made mention OF but
Ave candidates altogether. and that
the other might have been equally sue
cessfui had his supporters used their
strength In the convention TO that end.
Candidates and voters are. we believe.
thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
for II IL rather the exception than the
rule In politics that any section should
succeeded in nominating eighty
per cent OF all the candidates whom Il
presents 70 a party convention. Mo-
body was ostracised, no part OF the
state was ignored. and the Republi-
cans In all portions OF Washington feel
that they have been treated fairly and
courteousiy. Moreover they are delight
ed with ticket whose strength
throughout has compelled cordial rec
ognition from political friend and foe
alike.
