OLYMPIA. Nov. 26--If Lieutenant-Gov-
ernog Lzughton and Senator Parkinson
were targets Of causfic criticism when the
INST Of committees Of the senate were an
nounced yesterday. their position was
made infinitely more unhsppy By the ex-
pose Of their offensive alliance made In this

Justice and pr0priety OF the statements
therein made pass unquesfioned, and the
unincky vain are unable &c attempt any
sort OF answer. A great many senators
have personal knowledge OF the fact tnat
LAughton smothered opposition 70 his APP
pointmenf Of the committees by promising
chAiTaanships to certain members and they
know also that he did it in such
oily and delicate language that he inspired
In the breasts Of each Of the aattered sena-
tors feeling that the lieutenant governor
possessed rare good judgmen! and most
excellent discrimination, and that he was,
after ell. entirely and undeniably competent
to make up the personnel Of the different
committees Thus by industrious use OF
uEetions and jndicious speech did Lieu
tenant-Governor Langhton reserve to him
self power that is not granted to one-third
Of the lieutenant governors Of the United
States

Senate invariably appoints committees
through certain senators delegated for that
purpose. and thereby takes power from the
hands Of the vice president, who IL not .
senator, but who presides over their de-
liberations only by virtue of his vice presi-
dental ofhce. and who may or may not oe
in sympathy with the dominant party in
the senate. In the case of the speaker OF
the House il is different. He's ore OF the
members. and when elected is representa-
tivs OF the majority in the House, and his
power and right to appoint committees is
rarely questioned.

Lieutenant-Governo Laughton did not
preside over the Senate today with that
dignity of department that usually graces
al his motions while in the chair He was
desply disturbed, and he had good reason.
Lieutenant-Goyernor Laughton may be
still more deeply disturbed when he knows
that there is well-deEined movement on
foot to abolish entirely the Office of lieu
tenant governor. Warrant for such action
Is found In the following provision In sec
ton Is Of the legislative article of the con-
stitution:
The legislature mar. in its discretion, abolish
the of1lces OF lieutenant governor. auditor and
commissioners Of public iand&
IL this intention is carried into effect IL Is
not probable that the term OF Office ef
Lisutenant-6oyernor Laugfsson car be af-
feeted, because of the wel-established prif-
ciple against legislation OF any public sery-
ant, however obnoxious, out Of Office, bnt
Lieutenant.6oyernor Langhton is not am
bilious 70 have his name 90 laundering
down the ages as the only man who ever
held the office Of iieufenans-govefno IN
the state OF Washington. when posterity
viii surely know that the Office was wiped
out on account OF certain actions of bis
own, discreditahle 10 himself and odious
to the public But unless he IA
very circumspect in his future conduct he
Is likely 10 acquire that very unenyiahle
fame. Indeed. it would not be surprising
II the legislature decided upon this action in
any event. for there is q growing feeling
that the Office is strictly ornamental and
useless, and that future Senates should be
saved the embarrassment OF the presidency
OF lieutenant eouernor imposed upon
them by the chance Of politics without
their sanction or consent.

This Is not the only cause for disturbance
that rests uneasiiy in Lieutenant G Governor
Laughton's bosom. IL is certain that within

FreDeI, Affairs.

In the French Chamber of Deputies yes
terday NJ Jouvencel interpollsted the gov
ernmcnt regarding the measures it intend
ed to take to arrest the progress of Boulang
ism. The speaker attributed the change In
public opinion chiefly to the insults that
have been heaped upon the government and
to the Indifference of the ministers toward
their revilers. Premier Floqnet asked leave
to introduce a bill reestablishing the scrutin
d'arrondissement system of election and, af
ter general explanation of the govern
ment's policy, concluded his speech by say
ing that if q majority of the members of the
Chamber of Deputies we're Disconnected the
Chamber must seek other ministers, In
the meantime he asked the House for vote
OF confidence. After long and spirited de-
bate NJ. Montaut presented this motion !:
THAT the HOUSE, confident in the frnness
of the government, passes to the order oftbe
day." The motion was adopted by a vol 9
of 800 to 24O Gen. Boulanger did not sp.
pear in the Chambe during the debate.

The Strike About Ended.

New YORK, Feb l -Uuess the strikers
assume more organized opposition than
they have thus far developed it is not i'm
probable that all the lines will run cars to.
day. Cars have been running on nearly all
the lines to-day, meeting with no obstruc-
lion All the roads have notified their old
employees that they must return to work to-
day or consider themselves discharged.
Judging from the applications for work
made by old hands yesterday, there are a
great many of the strikers who feel very
weak kneed, and the opinion is hazarded by
we'll informed people this morning that the
strike will not be of long duration. The
Sixth ayenus company claim they have
beaten the strikers completely. The road
has employed full force of drivers, con-
ductors and stablemen. Applicants were
being turned away, the company said, all
the time. A full complement ofCanal street
cars will be run to-day on schedule time.
