THE business OF the city is increas
ny 80 rapidly that meet ting of the
council every week 10 hardly sufficient
to keep up with the accommodating
work. The last meeting Of the coun-
Gil WAS sample Of what is before the
new body Of local Legislators to be
elected this spring, and from the very
importance Of the business that will
devolve upon the council, it is y duty
that the public owes the city to exer-
else a great deal Of care and judgment
in the selection OF an executive officer
and councilmen from the several
wards. There are great many good,
clever men that could be named, but
ths citizen must put aside his personal
preferences and support those ths. are
recommended by their ability and ex-
perience. Under any circumstances
the election Of mayor and common
council is u matter 0f grave import
ance and more especially 1T this par.
ticular time when so many public i'm
provements are to be made, requiring
the expenditure OF large sums of
money. The REVIEW has no candi-
date to offer. There il plenty Of ma
terial to select from, only let care be
taken in that selection. The only in.
terest that this paper has III the spring
election is to zee men chosen who will
reflect credit upon city Of such inn
portance us Spokane Falls has grown
to be.

that on and after Tomorrow our es-

Chronicle, will commence receiving
and publishing the regular daily As
sociated Press report, this being made
possible by the completion Of y new
copper wire between Helena and
Portland. In this connection we take
the oppOrtusdty of according the
Chronicle that measure OF credit that
II deserves under the present manage

vexatious disadvantage of publishing
. daily without telegraph facilities for
receiving even a synopsis of the Asso-

compelled TO depend upon an expen-
sive and unsatisfactory special service.
and even with this disadvantage has
succeeded in giving an excellent tele-
graph report OF the more important
happenings Of the world. With Mr..
Knight in the managerial chair, and
that inimitable wcilder OF a trenchant
quill, Mr.. Dickerson, on the editorial
tripod, the Chronicle ~ once took It's

SPOKANE FALLS. MARCH 1, 1885

A DIsoUsTED and disappointed crowd
Of people hung around the lobby Of
The postoilice yesterday morning,
while Gagged behind the barrier Of
boxes was tho detected, worn.out post
master, all alone, surrounded with the
paraphernalia Of the office, doing all
that u single man could toward dis
tributing and sorting over the mails
The long anticipated trouble in the
Office had come to focus, and as
was announced in the morning paper
the force Of clerks had walked out,
leaving the much abused postmaster
in sole charge of the business. The
delivery windows were not opened, and
the Office to all intents and purposes
was closed. The singular spectacle
was presented OF II second class post.
Office in city Of 10000 inhabitants,
under an administration with the sur
plus in the treasury 80 great as to
cause alarm among the astute leaders
OF the party of economy (O, shut down,
and hundreds of people turned away
unable either to receive or poet mail
matter. And another unprecedented
case goes ON record, where the private
citizen steps to the front. and from
private means employs help to- run an
important public office. 1t becoming
evident that no nope could longer be
entertained of an improvement Of the
situation through the postotfice depart
mept, and the chances looking favora.
BILE for continuation of the present
situation for an indefinite period,
Messrs. AZ II. Clarke and J. b. Holley
held a consultation with other members
Of the board Of trade, and believing that
body would indorse their ac-
tion, on their own respots biliiy
employed four clerks to go at once to
work in the Office. These gentlemen
acted only i'll che capacity of private
citizens, but the board OF trade will
assume the obligation OF meeting the
expenses Of the clerical force, and that
body will run the Office until the post
master general condescends to grant
chat aid &C long withheld. The post
Office will be open as usual to-day,
and will continue open as long as the
means OF the members of the board
Of trade holds out. The public owe
the gentlemen who stepped forward
ut the supreme moment and made it
possible for the business Of the Office
to continue u deep debt of gratitude.
Had they not acted promptly no mails
would have been distributed or sent
cut from here until the government
took cognizance Of the situation ard
granted relief. aud from the AK Experience
that the public have .,ud with the
alacrity OF action on the part of the
administrative departments the Office
would have probably remained closed
until the 4th of July.

WEDNESDAY, Postmaster Peel re-

ceived word from the posloffice de-
partment, by wire, that immediate
action would be taken in his case and
that he should receive relief at nm
early date. On the strength Of this
telegram the clerks decided to remain
at work and the pOstofiice was open
ns usual yesterday. This was the first
intimation that Mr.. Peel had received
from the department that any word
had been received from him. He has
time and again written 70 the post
master general, explaining the condi-
ton of affairs at this oHics, but up to
tho last appeal no attention wss paid
TO the complaiats. 1t 10 strange that
tn e officials even condsscended to ac-
knowledge the receipt OF the last
protest, considering the disregard that
the postohice and land departments
have heretofore paid to communica.
tions and kilograms from this place.
Now that the postoiiice authorities
have been induced to break the long
silence, relief may be expected some
time this summer, and it awakens II
hope among those interested in the
local land Office case, who have
awaited impaliently for over month
for some reply to their repeated de.
,nands, that the vernment will send
out here and have the existing crook.

complete summersault, and says
editorially that it will support the
democratic ticket for reasons that
lie beyond the question of protec-

them because they represent the
democracy, the party which MAIN
tains that the best government Is
that which governs least; that the
final purpose of all free government
is to reduce the amount of govern.
ment and to reduce the number OF

importance to the lowest possible
limit, while the freedom and inn

The PoPK Is FIRM.-Those
friends of the Irish who thought
the Pope's recent letter against the
Plan of Campaign was the result OF
misinformation, and who said that
he would recall the rescript when
he discovered with what ill-favor it
was received, will conclude now that
His Holiness understood what he
was doing, and that he is not likely
to go back on his original declara-
ton, that the methods employed
by the Irish in their fight for self
government are wrong, and inconsis-
tent with their religious professions.
A few Sundays ago an enclycllcal
letter from the Pope was read IN
Catholic churches in Ireland, affirm
ing the commands Of the rescript,
and making it plain that the Irish
must cease their political methods
or cease to be in favor with the
Catholic church. There can be no
doubt as to the meaning of the let
ter, its language being plain and
unmistakable.
The conflict is now between the
Pope as head of the chuch, and the
politicians and agltators, and the
issue is we'll defined. As to who
will triumph there will be little
doubt in the minds Of those famil'
lar with the history of the Catholic
church. 1t is said that during the
reading Of the evangelical letter in
one church, some were so indignant
that they left the building. The
politicians will employ their best
efforts to intensity the anti. papal
feeling and bring about rebellion
against the right and authority OF
the Pope to interfere and direct in
political matters; but it is predicted
that they will fail. The political
opinions of the Irish Catholic are,
as rule, strong, but also, as a rule
his politics is subordinate to his re.
ligion, the Pope being more his
master than the man will permit
any political leader TO be.
1t Is not expected that the action
of lis Holiness will put stop to
the anti-government agitation in
Ireland. Among the agltators are
a good many Professionals who care
nothing, for the Pope. But it lis ex-
pected that among the Catholics
there will be very general compll-
ancc with the Pope's commands.
The plan of campaign may as well
be at once Abandoned. for with the
priests compelled to set their faces
against it, and to refuse religious
recognition to those who will not
obey Rome, there will not be enough
living force behind the plan to sus-
tain it.
The Salisbury government may
be credited with achieving very
great victory. In winning the Pope
to their guile, they have done more
than would have been the CONVEX
sion of Gladstone aud Parnell.
