Local Option for Washington

Although the temperance fight in
the District of Columbia has not act
ually opened, it is promised that it
shall be inaugurated the first week IN
January. at the latest.
Several organizations will have
charge of the fight before Congress.
1t is claimed that if the Committee ON
the District of Colum bia. of the House
of Representatives, is constituted as
expected, majority of it's members
will vote to prohibit the sale Of liquor
10 the capital. or to allow the citizens
of the District to vote upon the ques-
tion, in accordance With the provisions
of bill introduced by Representative
John Lamb, of the Third Virginia
District. The spectacle of residents of
the national capital casting ballots on
election day would be novel In the ex-
treme, since few Of them, comparative
", have ever witnessed such q thing.
1t has been nearly forty years since
the right of suffrage was taken from
the District of Columbia, the national
government disfranchising many
thousands of white citizens In order to
prevent practical domination of the
negro in the government of the capital
of the nation.
The local option idea is thought to be
popular in the District of Columbia.

y. What does it mean

We have not heard that u Guitteau
or Czolgos is among the Japanese i'm
migrants, but such and many other
equally as bad are among immigrant
from other countries. We have not %
far met with the .sBlack hand" or
Malta" among Japanese. and there
are no Herr Mosts or Emma GoldmaDs
among them known to us. The Jap
anese seem to lack such valuable citi-
zens. such welcome immigrants. and as
compared with our negro citizens, they
are, as individuals. and as nation. as
far above them in honesty, virtue and
patriotism, as the mountain above the
plain. II has not been thought neces-
sary to burn any Japanese for I'M
speakable crimes, as is the case with
our colored citizens. They are indus
trious, thrifty and sober, and their
conduct as class is lrreproachable.
But they work. A horrible crime to
be sure, and since they do this they
must not come in here lest they spoil a
good thing. lest they break up a mo-
nopOly emigrants from other cOun-
tries hope to establish. or rather have
ablished. Some day these Sand
Letters of California will force Uncle
Sam into trouble with Japan on &C
count of this Dennis Kearney idea. and
Uncle Sam will get his whiskers and
hair both trimmed, if not bis eye teeth
cut. So lung as negroes can roll in
mere from Africa. and Dagos from
Italy, and Europes Uffscourings can
swarm to our shores uuhindered and
unlimited, there is no principal upon
which We can exclude Japanese. But
if we undertake it We should have more
reason to do SO than the vaporings of
Sand Letters, California politicians
and some labor unions on the Pacific
coast. Certainly it seems ironical
when we know that Mayor Schmitz
and Solicitor Reuf of San Francisco,
both foreigners and both now In the
penitentiary, were foremost at one
time in advocating Japanese exclusion
because it is claimed they are "a dis
honest people,

the BANKS HAVE THE MONEY.

Where is the money? Strange we
are told how money hides away. We
are further told that the people on &C.
count of a lack of confidence In the
banks have Withdrawn their money
and now have it hid away in any old
place, and this accounts for it's scarci
W. This liz absolutely absurd. as well
as absolutely untrue. SlDce the scaIt
the people generally have been unable
to get their money out OF the banks
no matter how much they had in them
But the banks have been getting the
peoples money just the same. They
have been calling in loans ref using to
discount paper, refusing often in some
localities to pay money on checks on
themselves, when the money stood to
the depOsitor's credit. Every bank
which could do so has been increasing
its cash reserve until all the money of
the country is now in the bank vaults.
Why should the people have confidence
when the banks have none. The banks
have lost confidence in each other and
the railroad companies have lost conf
deDce in the banks, the banks 10 them
and so on through The list. Every
thing has lost confidence in every
o,her thing, until nobody will trust
anybody else.
The railroads of this town, we are
told, require their agents to send their
money to them at Richmond and else
where. and will not so much as trust
our banks With it, and are thus drain
Ing this county of its Cash.
With what reason, therefore, can
they ask anybody to have more conf
dence than they themselves have? 1t
Ia the large handlers of money who
have SO materially aided this panic,
not the people. They are afraid of
everything else and every thing else is
afraid of them. They are the scared
ones. Possibly they have been guilty
of SO many wrongs they have no con-
tidence in themselves, and it is not
surprising others have no confidence
in them.
