Mr.. Roosevelt, the Republican mem

who is thoroughly IN sympathy with

of Pesident Harrison:

the commission in their action at In.

compelled the postmaster to dismiss
three republican clerks, who had been

three democrats who were on the eligi.

of President Cleveland, who sustained
Aquila Jones in his partisan use of the

we compelled the discrimination Of

dressed violation of the law. The

The work Of the Sioux commissioners
in opening the Indian Reservations has
at length been successfully concluded.
Patience and hard work have overcome
the most obstinate Of the Indians and,
though at times the result appeared
doubtful, the enduring energy Of the
commission always gave them the as
cendancy. Only Sitting Bullrefuses to
yield, but even this stubborn old chief
was forsaken by those, of his own clan
and the bill received the signatures of
all his tribe. The work of the commits
sion in accomplishing their difficult
task under the most trying disadvan-
8tages speaks well for the men who COM
pose it and to them the people of the
Northwest are most deeply indebted.

Democrats, who sought to make poll
tical capital out Of Corp. Tanner, must
feel awfully disguised with themselves.
Their attempts to ruin the gallant COM
missioner have fallen plumb through
and have turned out as fruitless as all
their other efforts to help sinking
party by originating lies in the papers
about the administration Of our public
offices. The investigation Of the pension
office, which they hoWled for so long
and hard, has been concluded and
enough is known of the report Of the
committee to say that it will completely
exonerate Tanner. No gross violations
Of the law have come to light and no
discoveries were made to prove Tanner
other than dutiful and honest official.
Thus another Democratic scheme is
,ked in the head, and thus they will sill,
aue to be.

There is no let up to the way the
Mortified News deals out its blows up
Oh the distributors of public patronage
in this state and to good majority Of
the republicans papers his continued
howl is getting oppressiYely stale,
sounding SO much as it does like the
wall of one who is disappointed. It is
well enough to raise a voice against
unfair distribution but to make that
the burden Of your song and make it
appear that the party to which you be-
long is going to ruin and wreck just be-
cause the men who are giving out the
plums don't happen to be the ones you
worked for and just because they are not
toadyingg to your every taste and wish,
is neither wise nor called for. The
men, who have double the reason to
complain that Heatwole has, are
not making half the buster, and the
party is the better for it. This business
of giving all the patronage to one place
cant last forever and amounts to little
while it does last A couple of years
will suffice to do away with it. Then
what's the use in such unremitting
bowls. as those Of the disgruntled News
editor.

character, appeared to better advan-

curtain the first time until it was
rung down during the good old reel
amidst the hilarious shouts of the
audience, there was loud and long
applause. The characters were all
well taken and finely sustained.
Tonight that genuine old comedy
