DINNER TO MINISTER RYAN.


WASHINGTON, May 4.-Hon. Thomas
Ryan, the new minister to Mexico, was
honored with dinner at Welcker's last
night by Congressman Butterworth, of
Ohio, and Cannon, of Illinois, his late as
sociates on the appropriations committee
of the house. Four other Ohioans and one
other Illinoisan were present. They were
Congressman Thompson, Sixth Auditor
Coulter, Chief Postoffice Inspector Rath
bone and ex- Governor Foster. of Ohio, and
Major Powell, of the geological survey.
The dinner wss entirely informal,
but the menu was elaborate and the
speeches eloquent. The three congress
men who had served with MIR. Ryan IN the
house complimented him upon his we'll
deserved promotion, and wished him con-
tinued success in his new field of action.
Mr.. Ryan responded in fitting terms, and
feelingly expressed his regret at leaving
his long and pleasant associations in the
house of representatives. He thanked his
hosts for their manifestations of esteem,
and at the close of the banquet babe them
farewell.
Minister Ryan left today for his home in
Topeka, where he will remain for few
days before departing for his post IN Mexico.
He went to the white house yesterday
and paid his respects to the president In
final interview. AS he came out one OF
his congressional friends and admirers re-
marked confdentiaily and in an under
tone to group of waiting patriots:
There goes Minister Ryan. In Mexico
he will have numerous opportunities for
making comparisons between the Ameri-
can house of representatives in action and
a Spanish bull tight. Mr.. Ryan is a good
judge of cattle, and when he bets on the
bull 1t will be time for the matadors and
toredoS to climb the fence"

The Town of Pullman.

Pullman, IS miles south of Spokane
Falls, is the second town in Importance
in Whitman county; it is situated at
the junction of tbs Spokane & Palouse
branch OF the N. p and the o. r. & N.
railroads, and is situated in the
center of the "garden spot" of
the famous Palouse county, which has
no equal IN the world as an agricultural
district. The peculiar location of Pull
man requires all railroads that wish to
tap this region to pass through it, which
Ill time will make it railroad center.
The town has grown in the past two
years from hamlet to a town of 700
population, and now has a prosperous
and substantial growth. Over half
million of dollars was paid last fall at
Pullman, to farmers of the neighborhood
for their products, which is as much as
is paid in most towns of 1000 people. AS
a business point Pullman has no equal,
and an invitation is extended to every
one seeking new location to come and
investigate our resources and our future.
The average yield of wheat in this vicin-
ity is 40 bushels per acre; of oats, from
70 to 80; of fax, 90; barley, 65, and
hay 81 tons. The climate is all that
could be desired

County Organizations.

The Seattle Post Intelligencer says:
1.-THE county organizations will continue
under the state precisely as under the
territory, not being affected by the
change, and there ought to be no dis
turbance of county officers" 1t does
not "believe there would be in any
event, but it would avoid any sort of I'M
certainty if the constitutional conven-
ton should by express action provide
that all county officers should serve out
the terms for which they were elected"
The Ledger has several times shown
that the people can adopt any form of
government they please, subject to the
provisions of the constitution of the
United States and the laws of congress.
The enabling act is one of these laws.
1t provides (section 81 that "the repre-
sentatives to the ffty-frst congress, to-
gether with the governors and other
officers provided for in said constitutions,
may be elected on the same day of the
election for the ratification of the con-
stitutions, and until said state officers
are elected and qualified under the pro-
visions of each constitution, and the
states, respectively, are admitted into
the Union, the territorial officers shall
continue to discharge the duties of their
respective Offices" This language does
not admit of but one Interpretation. 1t
means that new set of state officers
shall succeed the territorial officers when
the state is admitted into the Union.
The constitution may provide for larg-
er than the present number of county
officers. The Office of county auditor
should be separated from that of recorder,
for example, and many think that there
should be county courts Of record with
limited civil and criminal jurisdiction, as
well as jurisdiction in probate matters.
1t would be great advantage to have a
board of county assessors instead of a
single assessor. The constitution should
also provide that all these officers should
be paid stipulated salaries. This is a
reform which several of the older states,
as Pennsylvania and New York, have
adopted, and the state of Washington
should start free from the fee system.
With all the changes that should be
made in respect to these offices, it would
not be best to undertake to provide that
the territorial county officers should
serve out the terms for which they were
elected. There is no need of keeping
them in Office longer than the enabling
act requires There is no reason why
the state should not be fully organized
under the constitution at the beginning.
1t Is clearly the intention of the enabling
act that the territorial officers shall not
continue to discharge the duties of their
respective offices after the state is adj.
mitted into the Union.-Tacoma Ledger

IT is estimated that the school lands
in this territory, which will be subject to
disposal by the state, will aggregate
more than 100000 acres. The value
of these lands varies great deal, from
20 and So per acre in some localities to
SIS and SIS in others, and in a few of the
counties they are worth as much as
81 600 per acre. The two sections in
Pierce county are almost in the city OF
Tacoma. One school section in Spokane
county is inside the city limits of Spo-
kane Falls, and King county also has
one very valuable section. 1t is doubt
less the intention of the law granting
these lands to the state that the proceeds
of their sale or lease should go into a
common fund, and be apportioned among
the several school corporations In the
different counties, so that all the children
of the state may have, SO far as the state
is concerned, equal facilities of ed
ucation.-Tacoma Ledger.

THE Tacoma Ledger says that the
most intelligent opinion Of the country
is agreed that exempting property from
taxation, on account of indebtedness, is
the worst feature of our tax laws, and
than the principle involved is wrong.
With all due respect to the most intel
ligent opinion" we fail to see why a
poor man should be taxed more than a
rich man on the same net worth. If A.
owns a horse worth 800, and B. has
$50 in cash, the state receives tax on
$50. If B. buys the horse for 800,
and pays $50 in cash and gives his note
for $50, B. is worth no more than he
was before, and A. pays tax on the $50
cash and BIS note, and B. pays on the
amount he has invested in the horse, as
they are each presumed to do, the state
receives the same amount of taxes as it
did, or would have done, had the trade
not been made. IF, again, A. owns a
farm worth $4,000, and mortgages it for
81, 1000, he is no richer than he was be-
fore (if anything he is poorer). Now
what difference does it make to the
state whether it receives tax on the I'M
encountered farm worth $4,000, or on
the same farm mortgaged to the differ
ence between the value thereof and the
mortgage, and also the tax on other
property purchased with the proceeds Of
the mortgage? Why should the rich be
benefited by having the poor man pay
taxes on property which in reality he
does not own? Is not this unjust
taxation?

THAT peculiar trait of human nature
that makes men anxious to do that
which is forbidden, is well illustrated In
the wild excitement at the opening of
the Oklahoma territory, and the pro-
posed opening of the Sioux reservation.
If the constitutional convention should
prohibit any one from settling in Wash
ington until after a certain time, we
would have more people here than we
could accommodate.

EVERY farmer should commence now
to keep correct accounts and statistics of
his farms, stock, crops, ETC., so as to be
able to give the census taker, who will
visit him next year, intelligent informa-
ton. Unless this is generally done the
statistics of agriculture will be of but
little value. The farmers of the Palouse
country should take especial pride in
this matter.

SOME of the leading prohibitionists OF
New Jersey, including Clinton B. Fiske,
have determined to help enact laws to
restrict the sale of liquor, without insist
ing on the adoption of their personal
ideas. This is a sensible move as pro-
hibition cannot be enforced until public
opinion is educated up to it, and every
law that is passed, aiming at the re-
striction of the sale of liquors, is an ed
ucator of the masses.

THIS is great nation. The next
census will tell a story of development
that will sound like tale of fairyland
Congressman Cox, who took the last
census, and has succeeded in engineering
the bill through for the census of 1890,
thinks it will show the population of the
United States at that time to be not less
than 64,000,000. Few people realize
what an enormous task the taking of a
national census is. No less than $4,000
enumerators will be employed, besides a
hundred state and district supervisors,
thousands of special agents, experts,
chiefs of divisions and clerks, all work
ing under the supervision of the census
commissioner On the first Monday in
June of next year about $4,000 men will
start out in quest of information. They
will knock at the door of every habitation
in the Uuited States during the month";
the enumerators in cities being required
to complete their labor in half that time
Mr. Cox estimates that when all these
reports on population come in they will
exceed in bulk 1900 merchants ledgers,
and that the reports on other subjects
such as taxation, schools, ETC., would
make stack, if piled one above the
other, twice as high as Washington's
monument. The cost will be about
$6,000,000, or little less than ten cents
for each inhabitant, big and little of the
country. The greatest gains will be in
the West, but the South will show to
better advantage in point of per cent. of
increase in both wealth and population

Infanrry and ARTILLERY.

Infantry and Artillery.
John Austin Stevens, who met General
Sheridan when he was in Europe during the
Franco-G German war, said: " l met General
Sheridan at breakfast given by DR.. Be-

Prussian side of the war. He replied: Mr.
Stevens, l came abroad for one purpose-to
ascertain the value of artillery as against
trained infantry. 1 went over the battle
fields where the dead were hastily buried
and turned over their bodies to discover the
nature of their wounds, and the experience
confirmed my judgment that artillery was
useless. l do not believe in artillery as an
auxiliary of war; General Gibbs, who
was with General Sheridan in the Shenan-
doah valley in his advance against Early,
once said to me: "No cannon was ever fired

Disgraceful Outrage.

Some miscreants last Wednesday night
besmeared the front of the Reformed
church in the Second ward with tar and
put coating of the same kind OH the
parsonage building, the sidewalk and the
lamp post, forming one of the most dis
graceful and dastardly outrages ever per-
petrated in our city. Having finished
their wsrk they proceeded to ring the
bell at the parsonage, which alarmed the
minister, and as he appeared at the door
be saw four men running away from the
building. There is thus far no clue to
the persons who committed this piece OF
vandalism, but it is to be hoped tina. they
may be discovered and properly punished
for their crime. No motive whatever is
assigned for the outrage.
