Civil service reform doctrines, it
said, " experienced officials are be-
ing Displaced by inexperienced .tt}-
lo'rS, who, with few exceptions, can
hardly distinguish smallpox sig
nal from Il payroll" fully justified
our conclusion that the party was
drifting upon treacherous shoals. If
such language Is not calculated TO Dis
rupt a party, we do not understand
its meaning. Lot us see: The
word " fellow" means first, COM
panion; second, one of the same
kind; third, an equal; fourth, one of
a pair; fifth; like another; sixth, it is
an appellation of contempt, man
without worth, etc. Now it is obvi-
GUS from the context as well as the
tone of the article that the latter
meaning was fully expressed and in
tended by the -AIyus. Even were it
not followed by the explicit asser-
ton that some of these "fellows"
do not possess sufficient qualifica-
tons for the offices in which high
Republican official has placed them
to distinguish any difference between
a yellow flag and an object of SO
much immediate personal interest
as payroll, the spirit in which the
article was written indicates ANYTHING
but harmony, if the argus possesses
the influence we have always accred-
lted to 1t IN moulding popular opln-
ion.
The Standard is not disposed to
be captiOus about small matters,
but when it draws what it CON
ceives to be logical deductions from
positions assumed by its political ap-
ponents, it does not propose to al
low either flat denials or sophistical
apologies to place it in false posi-
ton. If Mr. Basche, the Collector, is
to exert any political influence, the

The way they fling titles about at
Walla Walla is exceedingly amusing
to people at q distance. Nearly
everybody is a Colonel" and,
strange as it may appear, the title is
hereditary. Children wear the titles
of their fathers, and appear about as
graceful under them as they would
under their progenitor's sIove-pipe
hat. The wonder is that the Judges
and Colonels and Captains and
Squires, fail to discover that these
handles are useless appendages and
subject them to the merciless ridi-
cule of oil sensible people.
