UNJUST TO WoMEN.-It is q matter
of regret that the present assembly, in
its immaculate wisdom, put a bar
upon the Employment of women as
enrolling and engrossing clerks, and
in other positions for which they have
shown special adaptation. The result
had in no instance justified an aban-
donment of the system, except that
women were debarred by law from
rendering an equivalent for the favor
by . vote in convention and at the
general poll. Thus, one by one, the
rights that were grudgingly accorded
by politicians under the suffrage act
are passing back to the selfish party
hacks from whom they had been
wrested by superiority OF personal and
clerical qualifications. The time will
come, however, when our ancestry will
blush with shame over such a pervi.
sion of personal privilege by political
mandate.

In a Terrible Turmoil.

Seattle, a city that has hitherto been
so united, now seems torn by internal
discord and rended by bitterest strife.
A petition of one faction has been sent
up, which the local Ankeny organ says
was signed "by nine banking institu-
tions, one hundred and four business
firms, and one hundred and twenty
four capitalists representing the mon
ey, enterprise and backbone of the
commercial supremacy Of that city,"
addressed to the King county delega-
ton, demanding that they vote against
the railroad commission bill. 1t seems
a little strange that the usually wide
awake people OF the Queen City had
not injected little OF this feeling into
one, or the other, or both, the plat
forms of the State Conventions. 1t is
unfair to require the people to vote on
a given policy, and then, by petition
from a small proportion OF the constit-
ueEcy, endeavor to defeat the stated
object of the ballot. 1t is more than
probable that the Senatorial question
cuts the main figure in the petition
thus presented. Especially is this ap.
parent when it is taken into considera-
ton that, at large mass meeting held
subsequently in Seattle Theater, for
endorsement of Preston's candidacy,
the aforesaid combination of bankers
and capitalists appeared as disturbing
element, and Thos. Burke, who figures
as Republican from the chrysa1is Of
a '96 Goldbug, was handed over the
foOtlights to create disorder and break
up the meeting. 1t is idle to assert
that these people, because their wallets
were not we'll filled, had no right to
send up petition to representatives,
nominally at least, of the whole peo-
pie, and to hold meeting to formulate
it into popular expression. The
right of petition has never been denied
the common people, and il it is now
done, is it progress? If so, is it up
wards, or down towards the hot fires OF
Hades?

THE oYsrERMEN MEET.

THE OYSTERMEN MEET.
They Take Steps for Securing Adequate Legs.
lation for Protection Of Their Industry.
The Puget Sound Oystermen's As
ISOLATION held meeting in this city
Monday, adjourned from last month,
to perfect recommendations for legis.
lation to protect the interests of those
engaged in actual cultivation. The
discrimination to oppose the recon.
mendations of Fish Commissioner
Kershaw, providing by bill for sale Of q
part of the oyster reserves, was re-
affirmed At the meeting this week.
A plan of taxation was submitted by
the committee, and adopted as the
recommendation of the association,
which provides for graduation and
valuation as follows:
All natural or artificial oyster land un-
der cultivation, producing good, met.
charitable oysters, without transplantidr
, and that re-seeds itself without replanf.
ing:
acre-All natural or artificial oyster land
under cultivation that will seed itself
without planting, but which will not
grow, fatten and mature oysters without
changing them to other localities.
Third grade, valuation $50 per acre
All oyster lands under cultivation which
will grow. fatten and mature q good
merchantable oyster, but will not re-
seed without repeated replanting.
Fourth grade, valuation las per acre
All lands scquired under the Bush act
for the cultivation OF oysters, but upon
wnich no oysters have yet been planted.
The committee substituted two bills
for that prepared by the Commissioners,
embodying amendments to existing
law. One creates an Oyster Reserve
Commission, consisting of the State
Land Commissioner, the Fish Com.
missioner and three oystermen, to be
appointed by The Governor on recon-.
mendation of the Oystermen's Associa.
ton, and the other provides for the
government protection of the oyster
industry and rules for government of
the oyster reserve commission.
The association placed their bills in
possession OF committee which shall
employ an attorney for framing a bill
covering the objects OF both bills and
embracing such portions of the Fish
Commissioners bill not in conflict
Herewith.
The meeting was we'll attended, and
there seemed to be much unanimity
OF thought and firmness of purpose in
their deliberations.
DR.. Beach. of Shelton, was chairman
OF tho meeting, and George Draham
Secretary.

THAT is brave, honest fellow. He
is talking to you. "-Er.
1t is by such generally conceded
truisms passing unchallenged, which
frequently establish the drift of cur
rent comment. 1t is not true, how
ever, that the square in the eye"
pose infallibly indicates either honesty
or candor. 1t has been noted that the
most hardened criminals sometimes
possess the steely eye which flinches
at nothing. 1t sometimes happens
that the square in the eye" business
is carried to such an extent as to be-
come an observable personal character
istic. An instance of this kind was
afforded when Senator Colfax visited
the Territory Of Washington in the
early days. a young man who pos
sessed a reputation for the looking-in-
the-eye pose, stood in front of the
great statesman, and greeted him
with the prolonged stare for which he
had become noted, when Mr.. Colfax
suddenly turned upon him with
"Well, young man, you will know me
the next time you see me, won't your"
and the gaze fell, report says, never
to rise again in an obtrusive way.
Observation leads US to believe that
the most honest and loyal people are
so shrinkingly sensitive that their
gaze frequently waivers, and it is time
to relegate to the background that
stony stare which indicates mainly
superabundance of cheek.

A MERE QUESTION OF ExPED1ENCY.
While the mileage Of the legislators
ten cents-is liberal enough to pay
fare on twice the number of miles
travelled, even when based upon the
most direct route, the Senate commit.
tee discussed all sorts OF plans for in.
creasing the amount 90 AZ to cover the
alleged increase Of expense incident to
coming ria Portland. The final opin.
ion was that it would not do to disturb
the precedent Of former allowances as
to the distance travelled, but to recon-.
mend an additional allowance for "ex.
psnses" Of the longer trip. 1t did not
seem to be matter Of justice at all,
but simply question Of expediency
and success.

this instance it WAS explosion OF q

and intelligent action, further loss Of

THE New SECRETARY OF COMMERCE.
1t is said that the President has
settled upon his Private Secretary,
George B. Cortelyou, for the new Cab
met Office, Secretary Of Commerce, and
upon the possibility depends in some
degree the fate of the bill, for it has
been held up in the Senate after pass
age, for some reason. Mr.. Roosevelt
wants him in the office for he can be
depended upon for recognizing the ex-
ecutive's mind in all matters. This does
not suit those who are making such
strenuous effort not to appear opposed
to the Presidential will although by no
means favoring the Presidential policy.
They nibble around the cheese with
such suggestions a. that man should
be selected who possesses more ex-
tended acquaintance with business
matters, and who possesses the conf.
dence of business men, and there are
some members of the Cabinet who
think that the jump is too great from
Private Secretary to Cabinet position.
Cortelyou is legacy left to the Re.
publican administrations that have
succeeded him by President Cleveland.
