THE RMSTTRiriAR RILL

Th* city rooMfl will probably tonight

take up the mayor's veto of the electrician

bill. It Is no doubt a difficult matter for

member* to resist the importunities of

those who wish to see it passed, but we

*1 peal to the council, which has manifest-

ed su<>h an honorable regard for principle,

wo far, and such a courageous disregard

for mere political considerations, to take

the higher ground.

The city of Seattle has not In manyyears had an administration so free from

kerlng i; i! *'h> miuir f .r place. and itwould shskti public confidence tf now itshould Ins dis< «*« red that even this coun-c, canno remain true to the course It haspursued of putting public interests beforeal' others. Tbe council aas elected on acivil servto* put form. the plan is being

tried. it should have a fair trial. If itproves thf success Its advocates hope \u25a0-andits advocates are the people who selected

the present council It means an end to all

the jot>bli>g and trafficking, the political

Jugging and chicanery, which hye Iwenso mi: \u25a0 n;« voos In city affairs. If it is not? success, let us abandon it. But nothing

eouid be worse than to permit the bcgln-

rln* of a return to the old methods underthe hypocritical cloak of the civil service

system.

We appreciate the position In whichtn> mN rs are placed, but they will holda hlgner plar-e and oc< upy a broader flHdIn pubilo esteatn If they derl*? that thecity has now a council which, knowing

the right, has the courage to do It; andlays down the stern doctrine that If anofTl<-er is competent he shall be supported

and If he Is not he shall be removed, butIt will be done fairly and honorably in

accordance with the platform on which

its members wers elected.There |» a great prhiclpl* Involved, that

of good and upright government. Themembers of the council were extolled as

men singularly free from political collars.>s men who would bring into public

administration a new order of things.

They have deserved that confidence, andthere is scarcely a man In the councilwho, when he says "I vote for this meas-

ure bfi auae i believe It to be Just." doesnot command respect even when hi* opin-

ion I* differed from by others.It U an honorable position for a council

to occupy, the city has benefited by It;

It would be & great disappointment Ifthat high standard should be abandoned*j soon as temptation comes.

thh xi« *M *«.t a <-%* ti-

lt Is to be feared that congress has de-layed consideration cf the Nicaragua

canal bill too lung, and that should themeasure now pas* the company whl h isS'-ehing congressional assist im » will fl: dItseif without a concession.

Senor J. D. Rodrlgues, minister of theGreater Republic of Central America, h la

communicated to the state department

that his government will not extend theconcessions made to the canal a mpany,a >d win demand that the company re-

nounce them. The minister points out

that the contract of th# company withNicaragua called for the completion of thecanal within three years; that the time

is leg expired and that the companyhas made no pretense of meeting ita con-tract.

The m »st *«rto'»* objection urged by theminister Is that by the terms of the con-tract it was provided that the concessionshould net be transferred to the govern-ment of any foreign power, and that th#biß before congress practically contem-plates a tmns'er the eaocessiun of tli#company to the United States.

If th# oommunfr atton of Minister R>driguet correctlj represents the attitudeef his government, and there Is littlequestion that it does, it may fairly be In-ferred that the question of tha buildingo' the Ni aragua canal will be postponed

FORECAST OF TITE YE Alt.

A writer in & recent number of the New

Tork Eventnir Sun attempts to make a

forecast of the industrial and commercialdevelopment which may be looked for

during tne present year, and his conclu-

sions are Interesting and may prove pro-phetioal. He jr.v«s first place to thecheap production of electricity from

water falls and Its long distance trans-

mission. It is in the west that he antici-pates this utilisation of water power wiil

we the «rreate.~: development and hsspeaks particularly of "Washington as astate wlii' h presents the greatest field for

the utilization of water power In this di-

rection. lie says:"W ih the single exception of Niagara,

and perhaps a portion of the St. Law-rence, the water powers of the east arenow utilised to full capacity, and nogreat development can h« expected. Butst Great Falls, Mont., along the Yellow-stone and the Shoshone, at Spokane FaljsSnoqualmle falls and «long the smallermoun! tin streams of the Rockies and theCascades are millions of horse powerwhich may be had almost for the harness-ing. These must play an important role

in the industrial development of the next

ten years."

Several meetings of the conferees have

been held. and ft ha# been practically de-

cided to report a subetftnte for both bills.

This substitute bill, which ha* been pre-

rsred by Chandler, who is one c?

the conferee*. a ,J ds the followtnf classes

of w~*i!d-be immigrants to the list of thoseexcluded by the present law: "All per-

sons physically capable, and over M year*

of ase, who csnnot read and write theEnglish or the lang.iage of their

native country, but a person not so able to

read and write, who is over sft years ofage. and Is the parent or grandparent ofthe quaLfled immigrant over 21 years of

age and capable of supporting suchparents, may accompany the immigrant,

or such parents may be sent for and cometo join the famiiy of a child or grand-

child over 21 years of age, similarly quail*

Ced and capable,"

The provisions of the senate bill pre-scribing the metnods of making the educa-

tional testa were retained, as are the pro-

visions of the house bill excluding Cana-dians. who are simply seeking work ontfna side of the line, and the same pro-visions are extended to Include a.iensseeking admission from the countries south

of the United States. These provisions

are not. however, to apply to sailors, deck-hands or persons employed on vessels orrailroad trains, whose duties require themto pase over the frontier to rsach the ter-minus of their runs. The section of thesenate bill exempting refugees from Cubafrom the operation of the law, during thecontinuance of the present trouble on theisland, is retained; anu a new section isadded, providing that every immigrant whosecures entry in violation of the act maybe pumshed by tine and Imprisonment, andin addition, be deported to the country

from which he came.The probabilities are that the proposed

substitute btil wfti be acceptable to theconferees, and will be reported back to

both houses next week. It is quite likely

to pass without any further lengthy de-bate. Should it become a law, It will closethe doors of this country to that class ofimmigrants recognxed as most undesira-ble, who have been flooding the country forsome years past, while still leaving theway open to the people who have provenmost desiraole. Few from the countries ofNorthern Europe, except those from Rus-sia, will be excluded by its iworislons, andfew of the class which has been seeking

our ghores from the countries bordering

the Mediterranean and from the Balkanpeninsula will be admitted. The bill cer-tainly is a step in the right direction, andit may prove to be fully as restrictive asit Is either necessary or desirable that ourimmigration laws should be.

The low cost of powe* is to be the domi-nating influence in shifting the centers of

Industrial enterprises 14 this country. The

location of the sources of product andpower will be the determining factors

of industrial growth. No nation in the

world carries its freight such long dis-

tances or pays so coioasal freight bills aadoes this country. Much of this is need-

less and is a heavy drain upon the pro-

ducing classes, the farmer and manufac-

turer as well as upon the consumer.The same writer looks upon the produc-

tion of beeet sugar as offering larger pos-sibilities than any other Industrial enter-prise, und anticipates a great development

of that Industry the present year, withgreat profit to the agricultural Interest

and an enormous saving to *he country.

Btectrlc smelting of Iron and steel mak-ing with a current generated from water

power, now achieved under theprocess in Sweden, promises with its in-

troduction into this country, i.ot only a

still further cheapening of steel, which ia

even now selling at about one-fifth what

It did thirty years ago, but the prospective

extension of this Industry Into the states

of the west which have the water power

at present unutilized.

The writer further suggests that thefacts thus adduced wiU be instructive indetermining where to seek profitable prop-erty. and adda:

Gov. Powers, of Maiae, in his inauguraladdress finds cause for congratulation inthe fact that the young men are no longerleaving the state to seek homes In theWest. Washington would probably havebeen better off had a certain mui fromMaine, who came here by the way ofKansas, remained in his native state.

The determination of tha government toforeclose Its lten upon the Union Pacificrailroad is probably the best way to settlethe whole proposition. The government

will not probably realize as m«ch as thedebt due It, but it will get out of therailroad business.

to be knighted on the ocvasion of thequeen's Jubilee. We suggest to her majesty

that no more appropriate or graceful act

could be performed tnan to knight themayor otf her namesake city, Victoria,B. C.

Sidney Independent: The publicationof such a paper as the Post-lntelligcn-cer's New Year's «dirton, the largest andmost complete ever issued on the North-west coast, is the most substantial evi-dence that the state of Washington pos-eisses all the elements necessary to theproduction of 4 robust commonwealth.

IT IS A VAST ARMY.Tke l>«f« Who Are Marching Toward

Death Do Xot Realise It.The official returns of the city of New

York show that more than one-third ofall deaths are from consumption, pneu-monia. or grip. When we <top to calmtvthink over this fact it seems really awful.And yet every case, without exception,started from small beginnings. A coughin the morning: tickling in the throat; athick, phlegmy discharge: a chilliness atnight; difficult breathing; a tightness

across the chest; these and many moresymptoms indicate the presence of thatterrible disease, which, unless checked,means certain death, with long, painfulsuffering.

In view of such serious and ever-presentfai :s. the suggestions and advice of themost eminent physicians are of the great-

est value.I>r. John Gardner, one of the most em-

inent physicians in London. says:"Science, eomtnor sense. Holy Scriptures,and all experience testify to the benefitsderived from the use of pure whiskey."

t>r. D H. Barker says: "I have usedand examined Duffy's pure malt whiskey,and find it the best I ever tried."

These truths should serve as a guide

for ail who feel the approach of consump-tion, no matter by what path it maycome. We do not hesitate to assert thatany man or woman who will use Duffy'spure mait whiskey according to directionscan defy consumption and prolong lifewith all its blessings.
