Spokane Alwavs a Hustler.

Everybody in Spokane, says the Spokesman
knows Maj. Stout, the genial young attorney,
VINO is as mild hammered as fawn and as polite
as college boy. And yet everybody does moi
know mat the major was once fierce warrior
with the vigilantes when Spokane was baby.
IL was when Maj. Stout first shook the dust OF
Draved the wild northwest along in 1882. Spo
zane was then infested with a crowd of despera
does, and Bob Knox was the fiercest of the lot
lie had some trouble with James Glover on &C
count OF being ordered out of town, and rumor
reached the Spokanites that Bob was up in
WeStwoods ana had announced his intention OF
coming to Spokane and sending a streak of lead
through Mr. Glover aud some other good citi-
zens SO vigilantes were organized and Maj
Stout addressed them.
Ii Bob comes" said the major, 'he will kill
one or more good citizens, and then we would
take him out and hang him up. In my opinion
that would only be waste of good citizens.
we know what Bob will do. and if we just meet
Bob and string him up before he kills the citi-
zens they can be on hand to attend as pall-bear
ers."
This was novel plan. It was digested with
the same ease as if it had been spring chicken,
and the plan was formulated. There was to be
committee to wait for Knox, and when he en-
tered the saloon to fill up with oiled lightning
he was to be surrounded and arrested. Thai
night the church bell was to be rung as sig
nal, and before the mothers had repeated the
prayers to the children Bob Knox was to have
been floating with the angels. OF course BOZ
didn't swing. Some one gave him the tip and
ne went through the town on fast freight and
never returned. But it shows what earnest, en-
ergetic and enterprising citizens Spokane had
in her early days.

The Senate and the Tariff Bill.

1t seems to be the understanding in Wash
ington that the Senate finance committee
will not consider the Mckinley bill at all.
but will frame an entirely new bill. If
that course is adopted it is quite certain
that no tariff bill will be reported to the
Senate before the middle of next month.
II that should be the case it is doubtful if
any tariff bill would be passed at this ses-
sion. Unless the rules of the Senate should
be changed it would not be possible to pass
tariff bill until each senator had discussed
1t as long as he wanted to and offered as
many amendments as he desired. Under
such circumstances it would be an easy
matter to keep the bill in the Senate a
month or more.
If the Senate should throw aside the
Mckinley bill altogether the time spent in
framing and passing that bill would be vIrtu-
ally wasted. Its said that the leading repub-
licans on the fina1 nee com nlttee are of the
opinion that they could frame a new bill
much sooner than they could amend the
Mckinley bill SO that it would satisfy the
republican senator's.
There are several republican senator's
who do not like the Mckinley bill, and
would not vote for it unless it should be
greatly changed. They know that it is not
popular with their constituents, and that
they would be committing political suicide
by supporting it. 1t is well understoo |
that quite a number of the republican
members Of the House would not have
voted for it if they had thought that it
would meet with the approval of the
Senate.
If the Senate undertakes to frame another
bill it will have good deal of hard work to
do during the waTm weather. AS many as
1000 persons have requested the Senate
finance committee to give them hearing. If
the committeeshoul bear all who want to b e
heard, no bill wolld bs reported to the SEN
ate before next winter. 1t will probably
grant hearing only to those who can flu
nish some special inform ,tion and to those
the committee can't afford to ignore

Ingalls, Big Ideas.

Recently, in an interview, Senator In
gals said that it was not improbable that
men now living would see steamships from
European ports ascending the Mississippi
river and discharging their cargoes at ST.
Louis. The senator was talking for effect
when he made this statement, or else he
knows very little about the Missis ippi river.
1t is highly probable that the engineers who
now have charge of the. Mississippi riv +
improvements would be entirely satisfied if.
by the expenditure of 100000, 900, they
could make the river navigable, at low
stage of water, for the light-draught steam
ers which now run upon it.
The distance from New Orleans to St
Louis by the Mississippi is about
1900 miles. while the distance be-
tween those two cities by rail is not
much more than 500. Freight rates on rail-
roads are steadily declining, and long
before the river could be made navigable
for ocean steamers, even if it were possible
to make it so. it would be cheaper to trans
port freights from New Orleans to st.
Louis by rail than by ocean steamers.
There is nothing to be gained, therefore, by
making a channel twenty or twenty-five
feet deep from the jetties to st. Louis.
In many places the channel is not more
than four or five feet deep when the river
is low, and bars are being formed all the
time. The channel changes frequently.
One week it is on one side of the river and
the next week it is on the other side. The
improvement for deepening the low water
channel has been quite effective, but it has
not given more than a couple of feet more
of water in the shallow places
When Senator Ingalls, talks about chan
mel from the gulf to st. Louis that will &C
commodate ocean going vessels. he is simply
trying to advertise himself. He ought to
abandon such sensational methods if he
does not want to be classed as a crank.

Saved by the ProofReader.

In certain western newspaper Office the
gentleman whose business it is to report the
fluctuations of the live stock market sits across
from the young man to whose lot it falls to report
wedding ceremonies. Both are graphic writer's
and enjoy that latitude of expression character.
istic of western journalism, says the New York
Times. Both use the same kind of paper and
their penmanshipis not unlike.
Not long ago the wedding reporter was sud

middle of the table several sheets of paper on
which was description of a fashionable we'd

A Wrecked Syndicate.

1t is probable that Mr.. Blaine, the score
tary of state, gets some satisfaction out of
the fact that he had put an end to the
scheme of a lot of San Diego adventures to
capture Lower California and annex it the
United States before the newspapers heard
of it. However, it doesn't appeal that the
scheme would have been carried out even if
the government at Washington had not
caused its sudden collapse.
If the accounts of the affair are to be re-
lied upon, a number of San Diego canitaI-
lists formed syndicate to capture Lower
California. They are supposed to have
been acting for the Mexican Land Coloni-
cation Company, which is composed of
wealthy Englishmen, and which has an i'm
mense amount of land in the territory that
was to be captured. These wealthy En-
glishmen concluded that thsir lands would
never be worth anything as long as
the territory remained part of Mex
leo. They therefore offered the San Diego
syndicate S100,0)0 to bring the territory
under the jurisdiction of the American flag.
The syndicate, it seems, had two plans for
getting possession of the territory, but had
decided upon neither. One was to capture
Ensenada, the chief town of the territory.
together with the Mexican officials sta
toned there, and the other was to invits
the Mexican officials to a big frolic on board
of a steamer, get them drunk, and then i'm
prison them until possession of the territory
had been taken and revolution ary govern
ment establis ned.
The impression in San Francisco appears
to be that, notwithstanding the improba-
biiity of the scheme being successful, an
attempt would have bsen m Ade by the syn
dictate to earn the money promised it. There
are men ready for almost any undertaking
which offers big rewards, however impossible
it seems to be- Had the San Diego syndi-
cate attempted to carry out its scheme it
would have failed, of course, because the
United States would not have accepted the
territory from lot of adventures. The
Mexican government would have captured
the bold land robbers, in all prob ability,
aud there would have been a dead syndicate
instead of wrecked one.

The Fair Theosophist.
From the Pail Mall Gazette,

She cares not for the worldly things
That tertain the rest of us;
She scars on spiritual wings
Far, far above the best of us.
She smiles, but yet declines to mix,
With difffdent apology,
In mothers meetings, politics,
Lawn tennis, or theology.
Complacent, self possessed, and cool,
Though curates come soliciting,
She will not teach the Sunday school,
Nor venture district visiting.
On church bazars she sets no store,
Nor ticSles our hilarity
By singing ASK a policeman"
For the sacred cause of charity.
So elevated is her mind,
This life is far too rough for her,
And orthodoxy cannot find
heaven good enough for her.
She asks, and we forgive the sin
In charming feminiuity,
She asks to be Cheia in
Thibet, or the vicinity.
Severe the task, Yet she has found
The proper means of learning it;
She sits beside table round
And tries her hand az turning it.
Severe the task! Bat VINO shall mock
The skill she soon will get in it,
Who sees her take cuckoo clock,
And find a cigarette in it?
How fair the vision when she plies
Her search by hook or crook for it,
VIVA depth of meanin in those eyes,
That wander round to LOOK for it!
Such quests. well ca understand,
May rob the time of tedium;
So let her hold me by the hand.
And l will be her medium,

Is the transfer of the professor of Journalism
