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 many years had an administration so free from kerlng i; i! *'h> miuir f .r place. and it would shskti public confidence tf now it should Ins dis< «*« red that even this coun- c, canno remain true to the course It has pursued of putting public interests before al' others. Tbe council aas elected on a civil servto* put form. the plan is being tried. it should have a fair trial. If it proves thf success Its advocates hope \u25a0-and its 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 Iwen so 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 under the hypocritical cloak of the civil service system. We appreciate the position In which tn> mN rs are placed, but they will hold a hlgner plar-e and oc< upy a broader flHd In pubilo esteatn If they derl*? that the city has now a council which, knowing the right, has the courage to do It; and lays down the stern doctrine that If an ofTl<-er is competent he shall be supported and If he Is not he shall be removed, but It 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. The members 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, and there is scarcely a man In the council who, when he says "I vote for this meas- ure bfi auae i believe It to be Just." does not 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 If that 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 the measure now pas* the company whl h is S'-ehing congressional assist im » will fl: d Itseif without a concession. Senor J. D. Rodrlgues, minister of the Greater Republic of Central America, h la communicated to the state department that his government will not extend the concessions 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 with Nicaragua called for the completion of the canal within three years; that the time is leg expired and that the company has made no pretense of meeting ita con- tract. The m »st *«rto'»* objection urged by the minister Is that by the terms of the con- tract it was provided that the concession should 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 attitude ef his government, and there Is little question that it does, it may fairly be In- ferred that the question of tha building o' the Ni aragua canal will be postponed for a long *>"rtod.

A i>ig 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 commercial development 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 the cheap 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 hs speaks particularly of "Washington as a state 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 are now utilised to full capacity, and no great development can h« expected. But st Great Falls, Mont., along the Yellow- stone and the Shoshone, at Spokane Faljs Snoqualmle falls and «long the smaller moun! tin streams of the Rockies and the Cascades are millions of horse power which 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 those excluded by the present law: "All per- sons physically capable, and over M year* of ase, who csnnot read and write the English or the lang.iage of their native country, but a person not so able to read and write, who is over sft years of age. and Is the parent or grandparent of the quaLfled immigrant over 21 years of age and capable of supporting such parents, may accompany the immigrant, or such parents may be sent for and come to 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 on tfna side of the line, and the same pro- visions are extended to Include a.iens seeking 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 or railroad trains, whose duties require them to pase over the frontier to rsach the ter- minus of their runs. The section of the senate bill exempting refugees from Cuba from the operation of the law, during the continuance of the present trouble on the island, is retained; anu a new section is added, providing that every immigrant who secures entry in violation of the act may be pumshed by tine and Imprisonment, and in addition, be deported to the country from which he came. The probabilities are that the proposed substitute btil wfti be acceptable to the conferees, 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 close the doors of this country to that class of immigrants recognxed as most undesira- ble, who have been flooding the country for some years past, while still leaving the way open to the people who have proven most desiraole. Few from the countries of Northern Europe, except those from Rus- sia, will be excluded by its iworislons, and few of the class which has been seeking our ghores from the countries bordering the Mediterranean and from the Balkan peninsula will be admitted. The bill cer- tainly is a step in the right direction, and it may prove to be fully as restrictive as it Is either necessary or desirable that our immigration 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 and power 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 aa does 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, with great 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 the process 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 the facts thus adduced wiU be instructive in determining where to seek profitable prop- erty. and adda: Gov. Powers, of Maiae, in his inaugural address finds cause for congratulation in the fact that the young men are no longer leaving the state to seek homes In the West. Washington would probably have been better off had a certain mui from Maine, who came here by the way of Kansas, remained in his native state. The determination of tha government to foreclose Its lten upon the Union Pacific railroad is probably the best way to settle the whole proposition. The government will not probably realize as m«ch as the debt due It, but it will get out of the railroad business. The mayors of five Canadian cities are to be knighted on the ocvasion of the queen's Jubilee. We suggest to her majesty that no more appropriate or graceful act could be performed tnan to knight the mayor otf her namesake city, Victoria, B. C. NEtt lE\R'S EDITION. "Nor wiU the latter fall to take account of the rise of the new shipping ports- Newport News, Galveston, Port Arthur, Ti omt and Seattle, Memphis, Duluth and others." In the article In question, there is one omission. No account is made of the prospective development of mines of the precious metals, which will be one of the most important features of the industrial year, especially in the state of Washing- ton. The other facts which he joints out are all calculated to excite the attention of capitalist* and Intending investors to the states of the w> it and to none more than Washington. In this state there is not only the magnificent water powers l>Sng ready for utilization, but there ar» ni»o Iron ore* in übundanco, a* well as the ores containing the more precious met- al*. all of which can probably be cheaply reduced by tome adaptation of the DeLav- al electric smelting process. Here also can be produced sugar beets of an unrlv*'\u25a0»* purity and sugar content, and with a greater product per a re than 1s had else- where in the United States. And. by no means the smUl«*t Item, here the com- mencement haa been made of a commerce with Asia, which In Its dev#W>pment alone Is sufficient to Insure for Seattle a future as one of the treat shipping ports of the world.

The state senate has commenced to legislate In the Interests of debtors by extending the time during which a judg- ment is a lien on real property one year longer than it is under present laws. Famine seems to be aiding the British ia Rhodesia in crushing out the native races. The massacres, plagues and famines of the past two years form a satirical comment on the advance of civilisation.

It is to be hoped for Jumbo Cantwell's saJt* that he is Innocent of the charge against him of robbing a farmer.

Sidney Independent: The publication of such a paper as the Post-lntelligcn- cer's New Year's «dirton, the largest and most 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 the production of 4 robust commonwealth. Puget Sound Mail: Inside of six hours' time after the legislature of this state had convened, they went on record as favoring increasing the number of office- holders £or the benefit of the hungry office-seekers, whose strict adh«reno« to the tenets of the Populist party made them eligible for reward at the public crib at the expense of the people, and in oomplete violation of their specific pledges made to use all legitimate means to cut down the number of offV-e holders and ex- penses all along the line without endan- gering or crippling the public service.

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 of all deaths are from consumption, pneu- monia. or grip. When we <top to calmtv think over this fact it seems really awful. And yet every case, without exception, started from small beginnings. A cough in the morning: tickling in the throat; a thick, phlegmy discharge: a chilliness at night; difficult breathing; a tightness across the chest; these and many more symptoms indicate the presence of that terrible disease, which, unless checked, means certain death, with long, painful suffering. In view of such serious and ever-present fai :s. the suggestions and advice of the most 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 benefits derived from the use of pure whiskey." t>r. D H. Barker says: "I have used and 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 may come. We do not hesitate to assert that any man or woman who will use Duffy's pure mait whiskey according to directions can defy consumption and prolong life with all its blessings. Special Prices ?ON?
