There is little doubt that there
will be a fight in the next senate to
exclude senators elected by the four
Southern states in which Negro suf-
trage is restricted. There will be
none, however, to exclude senator's
from Northern states where unedu-
Gated and ignorant foreigners are
not allowed to vote-Olvmnia
Standard.
The cases referred to are altogether
dlsSlmilar. In the South an intelli-
gent colored man stands lust as
much show and no more than the
most Ignorant man in the commun-
lty- A voter when challenged must
give an acceptable analysis of the

who never read the document OF

satisfactory unless the expounder is

Richard ?. Burkman, one Of the
best known citizens of this city, has
had an interesting time with the
sports below the dead line. To
begin with some Of the fraternity
undertook to blacken his character
by accusing him Of stealing poker
chips and selling them at Nome for
profit. Dick never claimed to be
an angel, so when he heard of the
slanderous stories he promptly took
measures to clear his good name
from the insinuations which the
gamblers, or rather some of them,
had put IN circulation. He en-
ployed counsel and tried to get war

is but just to Mr.. Burkman to say
that he is not now, nor has he ever
been, a gambler, and has always Op-
posed the nefarious business.
The Cedar street car line is now
one Of the best in the city, and while
the service is a ten minute one, it is
exceptionally good.
If any one doubts the prosperous
condition of Seattle, they should
take day off and patronize the sew
eral street car lines in the city, where
they will see hundreds Of houses 60
ing up in every direction. Lands
are being continually plated and
good comfortable homes are going
up. Besides this, manufacturing
plants, many of them, it is true, are
small, are being built and working
people find no trouble in obtaining
employment at fair wages.
John II. McGraw as receiver of a
packing company, has been author
lied to employ Chinese. This is an
other instance Of what a great friend
McGraw and his associates are of
white labor. And still this man
hopes to succeed again in politics in
this state.-Freeman's Labor Jour
nal.
This is about as fair as any chronic
CRATER ever gets. The editor knew,
or if he did not know has no business
trying to be an apostle Of labor, that
it was either to employ Chinese or
close the shop. A little truthfulness
occasionally would command some
respect from the members of the
press at least.
We are always glad when wages
go up, but we do not think that be-
cause man is petty official he
should be paid more than others in
like conditions. 1t used to be the
that they could not exist
without larger salaries, because of
their contributions to their party
which kept them in power, but this
IS all changed, since the civil service
law prevents grating.
1t is singular circumstance, but
every one knows it to be true, that
public employees are always dissatis-
fed with their remuneration. 1t is
also true that they may be receiving
more than employees in other lines of
business conducted by private inter
ests, and very often receive more
-han the men who pay them, yet they
are always clamoring for raise.
Another storm has broken out
the gamblers of the city.
This time stud poker seems to be the
bone of contention. The Clancy's
and Pincus brothers have been given
special privileges in conducting
these games, on account Of their
activity in behalf of the powers that
be. But periodically some upstart
who believes that all men are created
equal and have the same privileges
before the law infringes upon the in
alienable rights guaranteed the two
houses above mentioned. Then in
dignation follows, and Meredith and
Wappenstein hurriedly repair to J.
W. Considine for advice, and to do
the latter justice he is the best quail
lfed gambler in this city for that
business. John does not have to lie
awake nights fearing a police visit,
nor does he have to opjen his pocket
book every time he sees the grafters
approaching, because he knows he is
nearer the throne than any or all of
the sports, and when he wants one
of the dens blotted out phone call
will accomplish his wishes.

CITY VANDALS IN COUNTRY
HOMES.

Much fun has been made of the
country shark who seeks to add to his
resources by letting his rural home to
some unsuspecting and innocent
dweller in the city ignorant of the low
cunning of the avaricious rustic rob-
Der. There are, however, two sides to
the question, and the under dog in the
argument is entitled to hearing.
The time is approaching when the
rush from the city to the country will
begin. Housekeepers with limited
means and large families are racking
their brains, puZzling over the prob
lem where to spend the summer. or
course the rural retreat Of last year is
barred to them because of the havoc
played indoors and out by the horde OF
young savages who swooped upon the
place like q swarm of avid locuSts,
leaving destruction in their wake. The

have to be explored.
A woman who had some notable ex-
pericnccs last year in an attempt to
rent her house for the summer for the
sake Of a change of air and scene had
reason to wax indignant over the trials
she passed through. She has artistic
ideas which have prevailed in the
decoration of her home and grounds.
Her house was well kept. but, like
many others, she did not know when
she was we'll on. She painted for q
