BUT THEY HAVE, SEEMINGLY.

One of the Seattle newspapers in speaking Of the situation brought on by the longshoremen in that city, asks, Have we fallen to the day when every man must defend his door with shot gun? Are we to drop below the level of the aborigine? ?" and adds, Not yeti" The citizen of that enter prsing city may not think so, but from where we stand, it looks as though they had really.
 It is only short time ago that the people of that state curtailed the privileges of it's citizens This was followed by the wanton destruction of property as revenge against persons who had committed a misdemeanor. The holies of holies have carried this destruction of property to the extent that they have become criminals them selves Murder has been the result of this cur tailment of privileges. Now, the thugs" of that city, as the papers call them have been dictating the affairs of the city under the protection of the police according to charges made by the same papers. What do they call that kind of govern ment, if not "mob rule?" And what is mob rule if not the act of savages?
 With all their boasted civilization, the holy of holies who were in the majority year ago, must either have become the thugs or have consented to be ruled by thugs. In either case, they have fallen below the level of the aborigines.' In a community, when man becomes unruly, he is soon put in his proper place. because he is the minority. The mob that is ruling Seattle must constitute the majority. Hence, the deduction that the holy of holies-the majority have be- come thugs and fallen below the level of the aborigines-seemingly
