GHOSTS OF CASTOR AND POLLUX.

"Hark, from the tombs a doleful
sound" Senators Morgan and Pettus
of Alabama voted against the rate bill
because the confederate legislature
proclaimed the doctrine of states
rights" and they thought the bill was
not 'in consonance with that doc
trine."
Morgan and Pettus. fifty years after
Webster drew his argument from the
words of the preamble of the consti-
tuition that it was the people and not
the state which established the govern
ment. rise like twittering ghosts Of
buried past to controvert by their
votes the conclusions of the master of
constitutional lore
These twin relics of the confederacv
evidently have not read the handbook
or southern wisdom recently or they
would know that section Z, paragraph
3. of the confederate constitution pro-
vlded that 1.-The congress shall have
power to regulate commerce with for
eign nations and among the several
states and with the Indian tribes" If
they could not conscientiously follow
the constitution of the United States
they might have followed the constitu-
ton of the confederacy. which they
helped to frame. They would have
found that the provisions for the con-
troll of interstate commerce were iden-

congress opposed to the plain terms of
the confederate constitution. whv
should Messrs. Morgan and Pettus set

confederate constitution itself? And
why should they after the battle be-

ALL MUST SHARE THE BLAME.

The report of Councilman Mexican
on his conference with the general
manager of the National Wood Pipe
company at Olympia regarding the
$4,000 that the city is said to have
been jobbed out of by change in the
specifications for the water pipe line
shows that his mission was a failure
The woodpipe company claims in eff
feet that it was fair bunko and that
the city has no right to complain since
the game was played in full view of
the mayor and council and nobody
claimed at the time that there was any
crooked dealing of the cards.
Manager Dierker of the National
Wood Pipe company says that if the
city will extend the time for COM
pletion of the line till November 1, his
company will furnish first-class lum-
Der hereafter, about one third of the
amount required having already been
delivered. OF course it is out of the
question for the city to accept this
proposition, as the city is facing a
threatened water famine and must
complete its water system this sum-
mer at any cost.
The simple truth is that the city
council was remiss in it's duty when It
ordered the contract with the National
Wood Pipe company signed by the
mayor and city clerk without first
thoroughly considering the changes
made by Engineer Thomson to which
attention was called by Councilman
Mexican in open council Every mem
Der of the council present at that
meeting must share in the responsible
ity for overlooking the importance Of
those changes from the original spe-
cifications, allowing second and thru
class lumber to be substituted for
first class lumber, and it is silly now
for any member of the council to at
tempt to shift the responsibility upon
other members or upon the mayor and
clerk. All who were present and had
hand in the making or approval of
that contract must share the blame
No one member of the council or
other city officer should be made
scapegoat for the negligence of all.
Nicarious atonement will not go in
this case. For any member of the
council to say that he did not know
what he was doing when he voted to
have the mayor and council sign the
contract after the changes had been
spoken of by Mr.. Mexican and admit
ted by Engineer Thomson is to adver-
tise his own stupidity and neglect of
the public interests To attempt to Law
the blame on some one else is to play
the baby act
1t is a costly lesson that the CITY
fathers have learned in the school of
experience. the only one in which
some people can learn. and it should
teach them that eternal vigilance is
the price of honest and economical
city government

The Chicago Journal says that the

GET TOGETHER, GENTLEMEN

Why not merge the Commercial club

AN APPEAL TO THE TRUSTS.

The Washington dispatches do no,
properly state the proposition to sub
NIT the tariff on structural steel and
other building material for the bene-
fit of San Francisco; or at least they
leave wrong inference from the state
ment by saying that. the steel mills OF
this country are already so congested
that they could not fill the San Fran
cisco demand. This may be the fact
and yet not touch the reason for the
remission of the tariff for San Fran
cisco. This reason is that for once,
under this dire calamity, the stricken
city may get steel at the price at which
foreigners buy our American product
The rest Of us will have to pay the
tarff-enhanced prices. But in her
hour of need the proposition is that
San Francisco should be relieved of
this tax and SHOULD be able to buy
this necessary material as cheap as
foreigners. can buy it. AS it is we
Americans cannot do this. We must
pay an increased price for such things,
while a foreigner can buy our Ameri-
can goods for much less. This is the
case from steel rails to watches.

istence on the bounty Of the public
Even one commercial club has not
been properly supported by Waila
walla.s business men until quite re-
Gently. Even now both the CONNER
cial club and the Fifty Thousand CLUB
are entirely dependent upon initiation
and membership fees for maintenance
In other cities where such organiza-
lions are placed on a permanent basis
each business man belonging, pledges
himself to pay a certain respectable
sum each year in order that all the
business interests of the city may be
promoted and protected.
The Statesman believes that 1t
would be the part Of wisdom Tor the
two commercial organizations in this
civ to get together on some fair and
equitable basis. The man who causes
two blades Of grass to grow where one
grew before is a public benefactor, but
the man who causes two commercial
organizations to exist where one had
a hard struggle for existence before,
can hardly be placed in the same cate
CORY as the grass or alfalfa grower.
In the other case it is more like the
case of the house divided against it
self which must fall. Get together,
gentlemen, and unite your energies and
your resources for the building up of
Walla Walla.

financial situation lies in the fact that
there is not the slightest evidence Of
money panic, every bank in the city

the official date for the formal opening
OF the savings banks is next Monday,
