The Code Commission.

As there has been manifested in Ger
tain quarter disposition to disparage
the work of the Code Commission
without even casual examination OF
its merits, we deem that some reference
to the gentlemen composing the com
mission and their adaptation to the
task, may not be inappropriate at this
time.
Hon. W. II. Doolittle, Chairman OF
the Commission was decade ago a
prominent member OF the Nebraska
Legislature. He came to the Terrific
nv in 1850, and located Colfax, Whit
man county, where he soon became
one OF the leading attorneys in that
part of the country. He and his part
ner, Mr.. Prichard, opened a law office
at Tacoma, in the Spring OF 1889.
Soon afterwards he was appointed on
the Code Commission, and he Is now
the senior member OF the firm OF Doc
little, Prichard 4 Stevens Ga former
partner of Judge Stiles and they now
have the leading practice in that city.
Hon. II. J. Snively resides at Yaki-
ma, where he has the most extensive
practice in the profession. He was
twice elected Prosecuting Attorney OF
that judicial District, on majorities
ranging from 600 to 700, in strong Re
publican counties, which is safe in
dication that something more than
personal popularity influenced the YER
dict of the people.
Hon. A. E. Isham has been practic-
ing law in the Territory the past TWEEN
ty years, during which time he has
tried many.of the leading cases here.
and in Oregon and Idaho. He has
had many prominent cases before the
Supreme Court of our Territory and
has obtained two writs of mandamus
from the Supreme Court of the United
States on the Supreme Court OF this
(then) Territory. That high tribunal
has issued but six of these writs and
Mr.. Isham has obtained two OF them.
He now has large number of import
ant cases in the Supreme Court. He
was educated at Oberlin College, Ohio,
and was law partner in that State OF
Hon. ]. NJ. Langston, the leading
colored advocate next to Fred Doug
lass. He was appointed on the Code
Commission on the solicitation of
such lawyers as Hon. ]. B. Allen, I.
J. Anders, Thos. H. Brents, B. L.
Sharpstein and many others. The
first knowledge of his appointment, he
informs us, was the unexpected receipt
of Ills Commission.
Surely the careful work of such men
is worthy of the calm and deliberate
consideration of the Legislature.

HE Post-Intelhgencer each day con-
talns an exceedingly well.written re-
sumo of Legislative news, and its COM
ments seem to be made from an indie
pendent standpoint that is influenced
by neither fear nor favor. In abiding
to the extravaganza of the present As
sembly, it says: "Both Houses have
attached to themselves a small army
OF employees and clerks. many of whom
are entirely useless and might better
have never been named. For instance,
there are in the Senate sergeant at
arms and assistant, and doorkeeper
and assistant. Neither assistant was
necessary. Then the President is cum
bered by private secretary and a mes
senger, and there are watchmen.
clerks and pages almost without num-
Der. In the House it is almost as bad.
There are now half dozen clerks and
assistants who are not and will not be
needed, at least for some time. The
Speaker has both page and private
secretary. What he does with them
no one knows, except that he occa-
siOnally might have use for the latter.
1t looks good to have force of good
looking and highly salaried clerks, you
know, and as the dear people have to
pay for it, no one but they have the
right to kick. They will be heard
from later"

pompously declared that "The debt
of the United States has reached the
enormous sum of ten thousand dollars,
and the interest is running on all the

however, of putting ten-cent men into

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. Especial
Telegram to THE BEE. Flights to finish
under the guise of "boxing contests" may
again take place in this city. For some time
dast the moral element, especially the pas
tors, have harrangued against the privileges
which have been given the California and
other athletic clubs. Their protests had an
effect on the supervisors, and they passed an
ordinance q couple OF weeks ago, which was
thought would somewhat check the nightly
slugging Tor So called. purses and gate re-
ceipts. The order required any association
which allowed boxing contests to be given
IN its hall to pay So 900 year, and the sale
of liquors where contests were given should
be stopped. Five ounce gloves were also to
be used. The passage of this order had the
effect of closing up The mushroom organiza-
tions, and only the California and Occdent,
both wealthy clubs, were left To-day, how
ever, the mayor vetoed the order on the
ground thai such contests did not violate the
penal CODE, ana therefore the city could
license them. There is little chance that the
veto will be overruled, and every corner sa-
loon and dive will as heretofore, announce 4
"grand display of scientific skill" in which
some poor wretch will be knocked senseless.

The Washtub ExpIoied.

William Bailey is an attentive hus-
band and looks after his wife's washing
with commendable regularity, says "a
Baltimore dispatch. This morning he,
as usual, corralled the washtubs in the
kitchen aud prepared the water. Mrs.
Bailey belieVesH that a little benzine
mixed with the aqua pura will assist in
restoring theSplIed garments to their
pristine whiteaess and generally acts
in accordance with this conviction. She
had placed about half teacupiul at
Mr.. Bailey's disposal, and when that
gentleman had everything ready he
tossed the benzine into the boiling water.
The effect was magical. Within Two sec
onds the water aud tub had disappeared
and with themltlie wall protecting one
side of the kitchen. The explosion was
simply terrific, Tt was heard all over
the neighborhood. The kitchen was
completely wrecked, the bricks and
plastering being scattered all over the
yard. The tub was discovered unbroken
standing on end ia the corner. but dry
as hone. Mr.. Bailey was not SO for
tunate. The scalding water had dis
tributed itself over his person and he
was snockingly burned. The explosion
resulted from the fact that the vapor
given off by the benziue was much
lighter than the vapor of the hot water
aud the quick expansion of the benzine
vapor caused the trouble.

different morale of Partisan and pro-
vincial life in France.
