Hayward'a election to the senatorship
from Nebraska to succeed Allen leaves
four vacancies yet to be filled, namely,
thoae of Utah. California. Delaware
and Pennsylvania The Florida legis
lature adjourned without an election,
and the senate refused to seat Senator
Pasco, whom the governor appointed to
succeed himself Unless the four states
mentioned shake ofT the clutches of
potttlcalisrr. therefore, and soon reach
a conclusion of their protracted war
fare, the Fifty-sixth senate of the
United States will assemble with the
unprecedented number of five members
lacking. The situation will be an elo
quent argument for the election of sen
ators by direct vote of the people.
So great was the triumph of the Re
publican party at the fall elections that
the absence of the senators from the
four stat»-« will not affect the party
control of the upper house. Irrespective
of th«- absent member*, the Republl an
poll on the floor will be 511 against 33 for
the combined opposition. Three of the
states which have not yet elected would
elect Republicans, while only om\
Utah, would elect a Democrat. Omit
ting the Ave, the atanding of the next
senate will be as follows:
Republicans 52
Democrats 24
Populists 4
Silver Repubilcatw 2
Independents 2
Eusioriists 1
It is fortunate that the large number
of new senators entering the chamber
will not disturb the general organiza
tion which obtained during the sessm
which has just closed. Only three com
mittee chairmen have been lost, and
most of the ablest leaders in the sev
eral lines remain The machinery of
legislation need scarcely be Interrupted

of the retired Roger Q. Mills; possibly
Quarb's, who has been heralded as the
"handsomest man of th<? Fifty-sixth,"
and W. A. Clark, of Montana, the man
of the million and a half monthly in

THE SEATTLE POST-INTELUGENCER. FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1899.
prospecting them, until some Spokane
men took of the Republic mine and
risked theSr money Ui development
work, with the result that they soon
uncovered a body of rich ore which
made the mine a dividend payer. From
that moment, the fate of th« district
was settled. Money was readily fur
nished to develop other claims, and as
the result in most cases was more th&n
encouraging. other dividend-paying
properties will be added until one of
the most prosperous mining districts in
the United States will be found right
here in the state of Washington. But
without money and faith enough to de
velop the first property, the Republic
mining district would never have been
heard of.
There are mining areas In King coun
ty just as promising as any in Repub
lic district only awaiting the intelligent
expenditure of money and labor in their
development to make them equal any
in that district
It rests with our citizens whether
these mines shall lie idle until devel
oped by outside capital or sufficient in
terest be taken in them by our own peo
ple to determine their value. If it is dif
ficult to obtain enough money to de
velop a mine, and that is usually an ex
pensive undertaking, a moderate ex
penditure may develop a claim into a
promising prospect sufficiently attract
ive to induce the investor to take a
working bond on the property and risk
his money in its further development.
Posting a notice of location on a claim
and then either sitting down to wait for
a purchaser or endeavoring to float a
stock company will never develop a
mining district. The owner must dis
play sufficient faith in his property to
expend his own money and time In its
development, if he expects to attract at
tention to it.
LAliOlt IX SEATTLE.
City Labor Commissioner Grout's re
port for IWMi reflects the marked suc
cess, us well as the good luck, with
which Seattle has handled the conges
tion of the labor market following the
Klondike excitement. Notwithstand
ing that the influx of men seeking work
in connection with the Alaska rush was
as great as any that has taken place
to American cities under like circum
stances. the amount of personal hard
ship endurcu by those who had nothing
to depend upon when they reached here
but their capacity to work, never be
came such as to carry even a rumor of
distress to the outside world.
The explanation which Mr. Grout
gives of the manner In which conges
tion was avoided is interesting, and
throws much light on the general indus
trial conditions of the »tate. Says his
report; "Fortunately some of the new
arrivals brought capital with them, and
this naturally sought avenues of use
fulness; the money, t o, which had been
.-.pent for outfits and Alaska supplies
sbon found its way into other channels
of trade, and the congestion began to
be relieved. Boats were built for the
Alaska trade, citizens began to repair
and improve their property, miils ran
full time, an«l soon thousands of me
chanics and laborers were employed. To
add to this the railroads centering at
Seattle began a system of repair work
along their various lines, which em
ploys d all the surplus common labor in
the market.'*
The actual number of men and
women given employment during the
i< ar was nearly IS,OOO, an increase of more
l tie number in
I 1" \. The average cost to the city was
about «> cents per Individual, which is
a small enough sum to justify beyond
question the maintenance of the em
ployment bureau. Had the city not
undertaken this means of dealing: with
the floating population incident to the
g' id di.»< , ries. the expense in the res
ulting of crime, the caring f r vagrants
and the relief of the impecunious would
have l». n more nearly l»". per Individual.

In the fare of the necessity of meeting
German increases !>y corresponding addi
tions. It was also admitted that the ef
fective force of France is Inferior to that
of Germany, and must remain so by rea
son of lack of population; therefore
France must meet quantity with quality.
The attitude of France is not hopeful for
the peace conference. Her people are be
ing taxed for more rapid-fire cannon and
improved rifles to offset Germany's in
creased military force. The demand for a
change of policy must <*<*»•<• from the peo
ple; but the national spirit is strong, and
so long as Alsare and Lorraine are re
tained by Germany. France has a rally
ing cry that will hush the complaints of
the overburdened taxpeyers. The time
will come when armaments must be re
duced and armies disbanded, or more than
one nation fall into hopeletai bankruptcy,
but that time is not here yet. and it may
require the universal war so often pro
phesied in order that universal peace may
be possible.
The report that the Monte Cristo rail
road is to be speedily rebuilt and active
work resumed in the Monte Oristu mining
district will be good news to Snohomish
county, as well as to all Western Wash
ington. This will enable work to be re
sumed oti the Silverton mines, a number
of which were just being developed into
paying properties when the destruction of
the road by floods cut ofT all outlet for the
ores of the district and necessitated the
abandonment of all development wjrk.
The action of the house in striking out
the senate amendment to the delinquent
tax bill, which provided for a commission
with power to compromise with delinquent
property-owners when the valuation of
the property ;issessed is manifestly exces
sive. is to be regretted- This provision is
a fair one, and if allowed to stand will
result in the payment of a large amount of
delinquent taxes which will otherwise he
uncollectible. As the bill now stands it
will be but partially effective.
Ex-Senator William V. Allen of Nebras
ka did not remain long out of a joi*.
Gov. Poynter, of Nebraska, has just ap
pointed him a district court judge to till
the vacancy caused by the election of
Judge John S. RoWnson as congressman
from tho Third district. This will let
William down easy and give him an op
portunity to ascertain where he is at.
The disgraceful behavior of tho Tenth
immunes, colored, who were mustered out
at Macon. Ga.. Wednesday, is inexcusable,
but should not be allowed to unjustly pre
judice the public mind against colored
troops. It will be remembered that somo
white troops upon being mustered out in
dulged in fully as reprehensible conduct
as did the colored immune*.
Dr. Ca'bell Whitehead, assayer of the
United States mint, who will be remem
bered by the people of Seattle as the
treasury expert sent here to open the gov
ernment assay office, and who spant sev
eral weeks in this city last summer, has
been offered and has accepted an import
ant position under the. Turkish govern
ment. He will leave Washington for Con
stantinople in a short time.
Gov. Roger* has again demonstrated
that he possesses both backbone and fcood
sense, two very desirable qualities in an
executive officer, by vetoing the capitol
commission bill. There Is no need for such
a measure, and it might easily prove both
mischievous and expensive to th« tax
payers, The legislature has properly sus
tained the veto.

DEWEY A*D THE PRESIDENCY.
Dictates m Statement Deellaisß l»r
Political Smiutlss.
Brooklyn--Eagle <lr.d. D ni >
The New York Journal publishes the
following statement, made to one of its
editors in person, by Admiral Dewey, at
Manila:
i would not accept a nomination for the
presidency of the United State*.
I have no dee-ire for any political office.
I am unfitted for it. either in education
or training.
I am deeply grateful for many expres
sions of kindly sentiment from Amer
ican people, but I desire to retire in peace
to the enjoyment of my old age.
The navy is one profession, polities is
another. I am too old to learn a new pro
fesseion.
1 have no political associations, and my
health would never stand the strain of a
canvnaa
I have been approached by politicians,
repeatedly, in one way or another, but I
have refused absolutely to consider any
proposition whatsoever.
This is final!
The foregoing is of the first importance
pnd cf the highest interest. It retires
from consideration by any party as a
presidential candidate the greatest person
ality in American citizenship. It secures
to the navy the preservation of the il
lustrious admiral to the end of his days.
It should bring relief to William MoK'n
ley and it ought to bring apprehension to
William J. Bryan. It removes from the
path of the former a very formidable citi
zen and it may require the latter to run
again, under circumstances of more diffi
culty than thoee under which he ran be
fore. It reduces and it intensities the
problem of thj? next presidency by the
elimination of the persona! equation of
the one man of the greatest popularity
and of the nwtt attractive or dangerous
possibilities, aceordtng as his popularity
bo looked at by the people, on the ono
hand, and by the politicians, on the other.
The statement is a great credit to Ad
miral I>ewey. The argument in it is con
clusive and is against himself! How clear
it is! How few men could make it at all
—against themselves. Fewer still could
make it so well.
The statement is fair to both parties.
It disembarrasses b:>th. It leaves both
free—and bound— to let him alone. There
is MII honorableness in it that Is exquisite.
The statement is as inoffensive as it is
explicit. It offends neither party, it de
fines neither. It treat* them as equal fac
tors. it sides with neither. Of this ft.a
turo the refinement, the justice, the honor
and the patriotism are complete.
The statement puts fitnes* before ambi
tion, duty before all things. Its superb
self-poise and self-measurement are
unique. The better thing than the presi
dency—the declination of it from a sense
of right—shines in the letter, like a star.
George Dew* y measures up t» greatness,
at every point. He prefers a national po
sition in which he can servo hi* country
without rivalry and without any doubt
of his superlative efficiency for usefulness
to one tliat would make him an object
of contention, under conditions that would
qualify his service and impair his fame.

"I have been on the public pay rolls
for sixteen years." said Senator Wilson
of the state of Washington today, "and
1 really begin to feel that I am glad to he
turned out. I think it It* time for me to
be hustling: for myself on the outside. I
was a number of the Indiana it glslatnre
for two year*, then had four years In the
land office, four years in the lower branch
of congress &nd six years in the senate.
1 can come back to the senate probably
before I am ns old us Senator Pettus, if
I want to. The way T feel now, I have
had enough of public life. I tee mv way
i bar to acquiring a fortune by attending
strictly to my own private business. The
best thing that ever happened to me was
my failure to b re-elected. I am 49
years old and 1 think I have done fairly
well."
