know just exactly what kind OF a mule
would be. A bay mule. One Of those
sad-eyed old fellows that lean back in
the breeching and think. With striped
legs like zebra. And a dark-broWn
streak down my back, and paint-brush
tail. And my name cut short, and my
foretop banged, and a head as long as a
flour barrel, and I'd be worth two hum
dred and q half in any market, and I'd
wear flat harness and no blinders, and
some day when some man hitched me
up to dray, and piled on ton and

barrels of flour, and q steamboat boiler,
1 would start off with it patiently and
haul it steadily until got to the top OF

Hill, and right about there and then q
falling maple leaf, futtering down in 9

me all but to death, and the authorities

W II prove acceptable if elected; on the
other hand it is urged that he is a late
acquisition from Island county where
he let go long hold upon official taatS
or residence here and chance OF
something better. For auditor, Harry
TibOals certainly has excellent qualit-
ca inns as to clerical ability; but to
dismiss such an officer as Mr., Seavey
merely for the sake of rotation may
not be wise. Mr.. Sheehan is in the
field for sheriff, and we understand has
some expectations of election; just how
he proposes to accomplish that little
job, however, with such a candidate as
Littletieid to run against, depone1t
saith not. Very likely he would make
good sheriff. but the people kHoW that
Dave is what they want in that capacity,
and 50 are not likely to take any chances.
For superintendent Of schools,
Mr. L. A. Collins, of Port Discovery, is
nominated. H. has taught school some,
and is said to be a man OF fair ability in
the qualifications at would be requir-
Ell in a good superintendent. No DOUBT
his best efforts could be counted on if
elected, ID. w. Smith, the PRESENT re-
publican incumbent, has been nominal
ed for probate Judge; it is not known
whether the democracy bought him in
consideration of the nomination, or
Whether he bought the democracy for re-
publican use hereafter, in consideration
of his afiiliation. His qualifications are
doubtless well known to the public. Un
der the circumstances he will be likely
TO need about 70 votes on election day
and med 'em bad, too" For rDg1 +,
j. G.. Ginger, the man who was elected
two years ago, is put up for a second
race He has been faith u Office
prompt in discharging his du es, and
whether he or Capt. Hoxie is elected we
will have the Office in good hands. Mr..
James, the nominee for commissioner for
this district, is an old citizen, a heavy
property holder, and would be fearless
oiiicer-but he has generally lacked votes
30 elect him heretofore. Mr.. Bishop, of
Chimacum, has served before, and
quite acceptably. He is republican,
nominated doubtless to strengthen the
democratic ticket. Mr.. Payne is com
paratively a new conner from Clalam; lie
is man of good Judgment, 10 y, rnear
Port Discovery Bay, and would do good
service as a commissioner. Mr.. Blake3-
lee, the nominee for surveyor, has ex-
cellent abilities for the position and,
aside from being newcomer, is for
midable opponent for Mr.. Fortnan.
Capt. Hastings is sure to be wrecimas-
ter, as he is on both tickets Mr.. Finn
is nominated for constable and will pro-
badly have no opposition; he is q ood
officer. Judge Swan and Mr.. Ginger
are also out for justices of the peace IN
this precinct; they are old and vel
known citizens and no comment is
necessary.

yreckmaster-ge getting a little mixed be-
cause it was the Independents, not the
democrats who endorsed Capt Hastings,
Capt. Dalgardno is an old resident of

oifce or could properly attend to it if
elected
CApr. TIBBALs is announced in our
colunns toiay as q candidate for re-
election as county commissioner. He
has served two years, and so accepetably
that the republican county convention
came within two votes of nominating
him on the ticket, while the independ-
emf convention lacked only about as
much of nominating him also. He is
well known throughout the county as
nm old resident, heavy property owner,
and vigorous, prompt and thorough ms an
officer.
A LARGE concourse Of sorrowing
friends attended the funeral OF the late
Mrs Norris yesterday. Mr. Parrish,
father Of the deceased, arrived from New
Tacoma just in time to witness the last
sad rites over the mortal remains of his
beloved daughter. Mrs, Norris was
born and raised in this place, and her
many pleasant qualities had endeared
her to large circle of friends. Here
she was married to n prominent and
promising young business man who,
with his infant daughter, is left to mourn
domestic hearthstone desolated and
bereft of its chief attraction. The dear
one who walked so trustingly by his side
through the short period Of their mar
ried life has been caught up into
the misty beyond, to meet mother, broth
or and sisters gone before, May the
sad affliction be sa Gifted to the best
otuses in leading bereaved ones to high

afternoon, Trevelysn, chief secretary for
Ireland, said since August last, all copies
of the Irish World and Irish Nation
which arrived in Ireland bad been seized,
but the stopping OF the circulation Of
those papers in Finland was unnecessary.
Y0rke moved en- adjournment OF the
House ia order to discuss the conduct of

affair. The opposition, conservative and
Irish members rose in support Of the mo-
ton. their action was greeted with
in support Of his motion. Gladstone re-
piled to YorKe. BE said the uDdeserved
praise ofhis friends, was counteracted by
the continual accusations Of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill and Mr.. Yorke. but it
required much sharper wespons and
heavier blows than Yorke could WELD TO
arouse his anger. He complained that
those who made the accusations about
the "Kilmainham treaty" had not
brought them to the test st the proper
time. He repudiated at large
that his viii was law to the liberal party.
Gladstone had declared that nothing had
passed from government to Parnell who
nett er asked n9r knew anything from
the government N regard to his com ing
release, or any measure intended by the
government, except what he might have
gathered from the newspapers. There
was no negotiations. promise or agree
ment.
Lord Randolph Churchill declared
that the house was not whit wiser after
