POLITICAL AND GENERAL

1t is said MOsby, now Consul at Hong
Kong, Is to be given the Federal Judge
ship for life by President Arthur.
At a special election held Tuesday,
the Democrats carried the Senator Ola.
gan district, and Republicans the Con
gresham Updegraff district, by the usu-
al majOrities. Midwinter elections do
not bring out big vote nor excite much
interest.
BROTHER DEMOCRATS: Those of you
who object to Civil service Reform 80
vigorously, for the reason that ito the
yictOTs belong the spOils," don't you
think that you are a little previous
in refusing to divide something, you
do not happen to have in your possess
ion? Don't you think on reflection
that is, if you refiect-that the best way
to get spoils to divide, is to offer in
dueements to the pOssessOrs of the gems
the peOple-tO entrust the same to
Democratic custody? 1t strikes us that
promises are in order Just now, and
promises accompanied with guarantees
that ''spOiP donations must and will
be given to worthy recipients, The pol
icy of taking away $500 elerkshiI
from Republican ward hummer, and
handing it over to a Democratic ward
hummer, is scarcely the American plaI
of politics at this writing. The road tC
success Is on the Reform line. The par
ty that takes any other route will be lef
at an Out-Of-the.way station YOungs

A Good Word For Judge Smell.

Considerable comment is being made upon
the action OF Judge Smell in releasing persons
ing these cases is very explicit and allows no
discretion. II says: "Every person so offend
ing shall forfeit and pay fine OF not less than
50 nor more than $50 for each offense and the
supply of water shall be stopped from such
premises until satisfactory assurance is given
The Water Registrar that the like case Will not
occur agaln."-P0St, this morning.
Judge Smell has enforced the ordinance
on this subject in the most effective man
ner. He has never failed to impose fine
where an intention to violate the law was
shown, and has only excused parties where
the waste was stopped before the case was
brought to his attention. The object of this
ordinance is to stop the waste and not to
exact IS from every unfortunate citizen
who is Internationally or individually
guilty of technical offense.
