HYDE's INDIsCRETIoN.
The Little Dispatch That He Sent to
WnshIngtOn.

There is one incident that will tend to
help Turner and that Is this: Ii has
leaked out that Samuel G.. Hyde of Spo-
kane, who Is making a hard fight for the
United States circuit judgeship, has sent
kilograms to the East, saying he would
have the support of Allen and Squire if
they are elected senator's All concerned
are trying to hush the matter up, and
Hyde has not been seen around to-day.
1T was reported tonight that Brents
had Withdrawn in favor of Turner.
Brents, when seen, refused to confirm ii.
He said the other day he was encourag-
ing his men TO go to Turner, and since
then he has been regarded as being out
of the fight.
Aliens friends are as confident as
ever. "Nothing but Mr.. Aliens death, "
they say will prevent him going to the
senate" They pronounce all reports of
dissensions in their ranks groundless,
and deny the claim of the Turner men
that they have lost seven votes.
Walter j. Thompson come over from
Tacoma this morning and returned by
the afternoon boat.
General Sprague is still in Tacoma.
1t was whispered here this afternoon
that both would withdraw in favor of
y elson Bennett or Allen C. Mason of
Tacoma. Their friends here discredit IL.
1t is understood that the Pierce county
delegation is holding a meeting
in Tacoma tonight to come to some
understanding in the senatorial muddle.
1t was also said that one conference has
been held since the legislature adjourned,
which both Thompson and Sprague at
tended when it was proposed for one to
withdraw in favor of the other 1t is
said General Sprague told the meeting
he could deliver hut six votes to Thomp-
son, and Thompson in return said he
could deliver but five to Sprague.
Thompson claims between thirty and
thirty-six, and Sprague twenty-thrce
votes. Benefits candidacy is being
urged by the Whatcon and Jefferson

Tho Clouds Were All Blown Away
and the Mountains Came Out.
1t was feared that the inaugural cere.
monies would take place in storm.
When the morning broke the sky was
heavy with fog, and q north wind was
the only assurance that there would be
no rain.
Between 8 and 10 rift showed in the
leaden sky at the northern horizon, and
long, narrow strip of blue appeared.
Slowly the sky cleared, and at 10 A. NJ.
cession reached the state house all was
clear in the north and the rugged out
lines of the famed Olympia range stood
out in all their grandeur and majesty,
and the shore lines of the bay were clear
and distinct. Before the ceremonies
were half over there was not
cloud to be seen, and proud
old Mount Rainier held hcr,,snow.capped
head aloft and changed the compliments
of the day with the Olympics.
A crisp wind blew in from the bay and
made overcoats and muffiers comfort
able.
The legislature did not OK pect the pro-
cession to arrive until noon, and both
houses took RECESS at 1880 until ii 100,
SO as to have time to reaasemble and
march to the places on the platform In
front of the house. They were huIriedly
called together at IL 80 and after ad.
journing until 10 A. NJ. Tomorrow were
ready for the exercises.
Governorferry and the retiring governor
and territorial officers and the new state
officers met I'm the library and formed in
line and marched to the platform, which
they reached at IL 80. Governors Ferry
and Moore were at the head of the col.
umn. Governoo Ferry wore black diago.
nal suit, black oyercoat and a glossy silk
tile. A bright diamond beamed from
his white tie, which encircled standing
coAar Governor Moore wore dark suit,
with light overcoat and a derby.
Following the governor came Secre-
tary of State Allen Weir; o. c. White,
the retirin n&territorial.se Justices
Hoyt, Scott and Stiles OF the sugreme
court; State Auditor-elect L. NJ. Reed,
and John Miller Murphy, the retiring

Lieutenant Colonel c. Z. Ciaypool and
Colonel kittinger of the national guard,
and Mayor John +. Convey of Olympia.
Lieutenant Governor Laughton and
President pro tenn Parkinson headed the
senators, and Speaker pro tenn Herren
the representatives.
Among the others on the platform
were ex- United States Senator T. W.
Ferry of Michigan, who became vice
president of the United States upon the
death of Wilson, and his brother, Il. z.
Ferry, who lives in Tacoma. Senator
Ferry is not related TO the new governor,
but he came all the way from Michigan
TO see namesake become governor oil

How the Mighty Throng Marched TO
the Capitol.
At 10:30 sharp Grand Marshal Van
Epps and aides began forming in line
on Fifth street, and soon the column
began to assume shape. Marshal Van
Epps and staff led the parade. Then
came Mayor Convey and city officials in
carriage, followed by the gubernatorial
equipage, a barouche driven double, and
containing Governor Moore, Governor
elect Ferry, Lieutenant Governor Laugh
.ten and Supreme Judge Hoyt. In tho
Following carriages were the rest of the
state officers-elect and prominent citi-
zens from home and abroad.
Then came the First regiment band of
twenty pieces, and they wero followed
by the pioneers of Washington, about
sixty strong.
The gaudy uniforms and white plumes
of the general staff with Generals o. Brien
and Curry in advance, and tho Seattle
drum corps, twelve strong filled in the
gap here, and then came Colonel J. G.
Haines and his staff of the First regiment,
and the companies in the following order:
Company B, Company e, Company ID
and Company +.
Behind these were three companies of
cavalry commanded by Colonel Ashton.
The cavalry was followed by the local
lodge OF the Knights of Pythias, acting
us a guard of honor, and behind them
the Tacoma band kept the enthusiastic
crowd following in marching time by
martial airs. They were in advance of
the Mason Rifles, q Tacoma organization.
lThen came the rear guard of citizens
snd visitors in carriages, on horseback
I'd afoot, tramping through the mud
and slush in their enthusiasm and ex-
element, as unconcerned as If they were
on gravel walk.
From the corner OF Fifth street and
Main to the capitol grounds, over the
route taken. is fully one mile, and every
foot OF 1t was covered by the length Of
the procession. The head of 1t reached
the grounds before the rear end got
started.
The course of the parade was up Fifth
street to Ninteenth street, up Thirteenth
to Capitol avenue, and thence to the
grounds prepared for the ceremonies
The crowds of people in attendance fol-
lowed the parade on each side, and it
WINS simply three living streams Of hu-
manity, one rs long as the othe-, march

HIGH LICENSE.

We find that leading men throughout
the State are giving expression to their
opinions in the matter OF liquor license
and it is more than probable that the
coming legislature will be called upon
to consider the liquor question from the
standpoint Of High License as against
Prohibition, as reformatory legislation
in the interests of Temperance and good
government.
Since the great State Of Pennsylvania
has spoken concerning Prohibition. a
movement to that end will be looked
upon for some years as an impossibility,
if not an absurdity and as Local Option
has lost caste and character everywhere,
through its absurditles and weaknesses,
there is apparently but one avenue Of
escape from the myriads Of low grog'
geries that curse the towns and cities
and that lies in the direction of pro-
hibitiye tariff license so high that
only such as have large interests at
stake in preserving respectable char
acter can afford to pay for the license.
Assuming that practical and complete
Prohibition is an impossible conception.
we unhesitatingl y condemn the present
license (and Local Option) law of this
State and are unequlvocally favorable
to the repeal of every excise statute in
the State and in their stead the enact
ment of stringent High License law,
not one of absurd and impossible condi-
tons and penalties, not one-half of the
latter of which could be enforced by
the courts az has been the case in
many States, but list of penalties that
while severe cannot be construed as
deprivlng one of natural rights; license
ices not extravagantly high, but beyond
the reach of the profits of the army Of
saloon keepers and high enough to de-
ter any from violating the conditions
under which the license is held, thus
risking its revokal. Dlserderly houses,
sales to minors and those necessitous,
Sunday selling and numberless other
evils incident to the traffic would be
thus reduced to minimum throug ii the
large money interest that every license
holder would have in obeying the law.
We read that Jud &c McSherry, Hon.
M. G. Urner and States Attorney
Eichelberger are in favor of High
License law; it will be pleasure to
The CLARION to second every effort
that men of like eminence and charac-
ter make IN this direction. THE CLAIR
ION is no trimmer when it makes
. mistake 1t has the courage to acknowl-
edge it, but 40 long as it knows that it
is right, it's coarse is an open and in
flexible one snd ia the matter of High
License, it has no question as to the
wisdom and righteousness thereof.
