POLITICAL sENTiMENr IN wALLA
wALLA.
Yakima slRnal.l

Yakima Signal.
Last week the Signal sent out several
letterso of inquiry to different parts of the
Territory respecting the political situa-
ton. In response to one of these came
a letter from Walla Walla from which
the following Is an extract:
so far as outward appearances indl-
cate, the political atmosphere is little
quiet Bnt a good deal of talk ION the
side" il INDUCED in both by Democrats
and Republicans and it is noticed that
citizens are putting their heads together
regardless of party more than ever
before. Il Is we'll knswn that the rep
resentatives Of the big corporations are
doing all they can to control politics AZ
they have in the past; and, strange to
say, they seem to hnd few active assist
ants in every county. IL looks now as
though this will be the basis of the con
test this fall, unless the Republicans
nominate for Delegate 10 Congress as
well as for members OF the Legislature
men Who will try TO represent the pub
lie instead Of the corporations. There
IL no very prominent aspirant for Del
esate here, although several names are
occasionally mentioned in that CON-
nectiou. The daily Joayaai last week
copied what your paper had to say
about Hon. Edward Watson of Yakima.
aud the statement that the whole OF
Central Washington would likely sup
port him at the convention occasioaed
considerable comment, none OF which
80 far as | heard, Vas unfavorable TO
him. The fact that the West side Is
not united and that Eastern Washing
ton Is not pulling ssrone for any par
ticular man makes II look quite prob
able that Central Washington may slip
bet ween by mutual consent. Mr.. Brests
IL talked Of for reelection more than
any new man here and strange TO say
the Hnfsn and some others who used
rather to oppose Brents are now disposed
TO be friendly toward him. But after
all hs is not getting any enthusiastic sup
port aud there are great many sid
members of the party who would not
like 10 vote Tor any man Who q NOT
known 20 be sound on the railroad
Question. They think that the action OF
shs Legislature last fall In regard
TO railroad taxes and other thtngs
has shown the necessity OF having a
check placed upon this disposition 90
control In politics. But there are others
who have been strong Republicans IN
the past who have bot little hope OF
wrestling the party from corporation
infiaence and will vote this time with
shs Democrats II things go oS as they
have. understand that the same feeling
exists throughout the upper coantry.

Sir Salar JHng's Eldest Son.
From the London Tines

the LOnOOu 1lnes.J
The Nizam has appointed the late Sir
Salar Jung's eldest son to be his dewan,
or chief minister. His own proper name
is the Nawab Mir Laik Ali, but he lately
assumed the title of Salar Jung, to which
it viii be hoped that he may add fresh
lustre by continuing the policy of his
predecessor. He possesses some special
advantages for the task owing to the
careful education he has received ut the
hands of different English tutors. He
possesses q creditable knowledge of our
history, institutions, and literature, and
speaks English with a fUency and even
refinement seldom attained by Orientals.
This last requirement ought to prove of
inestimable value In conducting the deli
cate personal relations existing between
his court and the British residency.
From very early age he was largely
taken into the confidence Of his father,
initiated into state intrigues, and other
wise prepared for the mportantspositio
which he was destined to occupy by
what has become, from the precedent Of
a century, almost right of Inheritance
in his family. The chief lessons, how
ever, impressed upon him by his wise
mentor were to cherish and promote
friendship with this country, and to in
troduce as much administrative and
social reform as possible into the Nizam's
dominions. In fact, to employ the Ian
guage of English politics, he has been
brought up in the principle Of const1tu-
| tionahsm as opposed to those of despOt-
ism. His policy is simple and clearly
defined. He has only to follow in his
81 W
to the condition of unrest prevalent a
generation ago will, have no doubt, be
the earnest wish and effort of the new
minister, melted as he will be both by
the laudable desire not to see his fathers
work undone, his policy reversed, and
the reins of power transferred to the
hands OF a rival house. To aid him in
his difficult task he will probably for
some time to come, for he is barely 81
years of age, and thus, perhaps the
youngest prime minister on record, re-
quire the advice of older and more ex-
perienced men. Such counselors he will
| always find among his fathers former
friends at the English residency, through
out India, as we'll as in this country.
Both father and son have been our visit
ors, and went back wildly impressed
with the unlimited power and resources
of the people which had replaced their
own 10 the supremacy Of India. But
they also carried back with them what is
of equal Notwithstanding of friend
ship and esteem for the many distin-
| guished personages with whom they
came into hospitable contact during their
stay in this country. The colossal pro-
portions and pleasing manners of Salar
Jung, the younger, attracted attention
at court and in society generally, during
the season of 1882, and it was difficult
to believe from his appearance, CONVEX
sation and department. that ne was then
only, according to our IDEAS, boy
under 19 years of age.

ST find that in addition to the pure spiritR
contained in their composition, they contain
the extracts Of hops and other well known and
highly approved medicinal roots, leaves and
tinctures in quantities sufficient to render the
article what the makers claim it to be, to wit,
a medicinal preparation and not a beverage
unfit and unsafe to be used except as a medi-
cine.
From o careful analysis of their formula
which was tested under oath--I find that in
medicinal properties aside from the distilled
spirits are equal to full dose for an adult,
which fact in my opinion, subjects it to an IN
ternal revenue tax as a medicinal bitters."
