COURAGE DEMANDED.

The Fifty-ffst congress will commence
Its closing session today. The brave and
true men Of the Republican party will wait
with absorbing interest TO see h5w the Re-
publican majority in that body will meet
the crisis by which they are confronted;
whether with . courage worthy of their
best traditions, or in the craven manner
which some of the hme-serving organs
have recommended.
II they are wise and have the courage of
their convictions, they will at once and
peremptorily make il manifest that the
tariff Is not to be tinkered with in any
manner, shape or form. 1t is preposterous
TO claim that the country has passed any
judgment upon that measure. Ii only went
into general effect on the 9th of October
Some Of It's most meritorous features have
not yet gone into effect. The election took
place less than month after its passage.
1t Was impossible for the people to form an
intelligent Judgment on its merits and
workings. The party win demand that as
passed il shall have fair and full trial

master its provisions. It embodies prin-
ciple Of justice to which the party by unan-
imous vote Of its national convention stands
unsquivocally pledged. With = Republi-
can majority Of IA in the Senate there
should Be no question Of its passage, nor
needless loss Of time In effecting that re-
suit. Nor should there be any doubt or
waste OF time in preparing and passing a
just and fair apportionment bill. 1t is .
mere matter of fixing basis and OF max
ing calculations of which any schoolboy
should be capable.
These and the appropriation bills, If
taken hold of promptly and determinately,
Congress should be able to dispose OF with
out difficulty within the three months al
lowed for the session. With this much the
party viii be satisfied even II nothing fur
Their is accomplished. But unless the cleo
tons bill is passed by this Congress the
country may well despair OF seeing that
great measure of plain and imperative JUS
tice enacted into law for a long time to
come. Method and nerve are required
and no yielding to Democratic bulldozing
or obstructive tactics. The country waits !

GOVERNOR FERRY's VACATION.

Gov. Z. p. Ferry will today turn over the
executive Office to Lieutenant-Governo
Laughton and, accompanied by his
family. will start for Southern Cali
fornia, seeking restoration to health in
rest and change of scene and eli
mate. For several months past the gov
ernor's physical condition has been precar-
ious, and he has remained at his laborious
post OF duty contrary TO the wishes of his
friends and in direct disobedience to his
physicians. At last he finds that he must
go; that his strength is not equal to the
continuance of his labor during the winter
and especially through the legislative ses-
sion. which will begin next month. He
leaves in time to allow Governor Laughton
to get firmly seated in the executive chair
before the legislature convenes and to pre-
pare the biennial message of the executive
to the legislative department
Governor Ferry's plan is to remain in
California till next spring or early summer,
and If his health shall by that time be
restored, to return to Washington and
resume his official duties. But If he fails
OF the benefits he is seeking, he will resign
his Office and go abroad.
The sympathies and good wishes of the
whole people of Washington will go with
our honored chief magistrate in the Jour-
ney he Is about to undertake.
More than any other man among
Us he holds the affections OF
our people - holds them because he
has earned them by his able and devoted
labors. The value Of his public services
during the past year and half has been
beyond estimate. In the great work of
starting the new state he has been the CEN
trail and heroic figure Wherever expe-
rience or wisdom was lacking he h as sup
piled it. He has labored prodigiously and
with the single motive of serving the public
interest HIS position as the chief magis-
trate of Washington during the formative
period of the state government seems al
most to have been providential, so fortu-
nate has it been for the public welfare,
present and future.
Governor Ferry's disability is nothing
more or less than nervous exhaustion
which it is hoped season OF complete rest
will fully cure. There is small cause for
apprehension that he will not return to us
fully restored with many years of use-
fulness before him. And when he returns
he will be met with such welcome as is
reserved fer those whom states delight to

any such use of bis wealth, which has in
creased by several multiples beyond the
sum above named. it is probable that
within the recent past other Americans
have done so, but whether the result will
be widespread ruin or public benefit re-
mains to be seen. In the long run the
American people are repositories of all
power, however. and in the last emergency
can be depended on to use it.

FONDLY INFATUATED.

The local Democratic organ persists
in Its contention that the government
should at once abolish the moderate protec-
ton to all American smeiters because of a
temporary scarcity and high price OF pig
iron in the Seattle market 1t was hoped
that q former demonstration Of the i'm
mense interest Of Seattle, King county and
Western Washington in this matter would
have weaned that paper from its wild
delusion on the subject, but proof of its alb
surdity seems only to make il hug the in
fatuation so much the more fondly.

METAPHoR1cALLY SPEAKING.
A Coroner's Jury Sits on the Body of
Yam Foo.

Coroner's Jury Sits on the Body of
Yam Foo.
An inquest was held last evening by
Coroner Clark on the remains of Yam Eco,
the Chinaman who committed suicide at
the City Prison on Friday morning. The
deceased murdered Chinaman at Court
land three years ago and then fed.
Sheriff w. r. Mcfarland of San Diego
testified before the jury that he arrested
the deceased and one All Dock about one
month ago on account of an sltercation
which occurred between the two, and in
which Yam Foo was injured. Ah Dock
had told him (McFarland) that Yam Foo
murdered Gum Bac Lee at Courtland three
years ago. After the murder Foo escaped
and went to his (Ah Dock's) house at
Stockton and told HIM that he had killed a
Chinaman.
All DOCK said he concealed the murderer
for some time, until he had an opportunity
to get out of that section of the country
without being detected.
After hearing this statement from All
Dock, the witness sent telegram to Chief
of Police Drew of Sacramento, asking If
Yam Foo was wanted. Chief Drew re-
pleo py wire, requesting that Foo be
brought here. During the trip up the
prisoner was continually watching for a
chance to escape. but made no direct at
tempt. He denied having committed the
murder
Chief of Police Drew testified to having
taken photograph of the deceased to
Courtland. 1t was identified there by the
Cinnamon as being that of Yam Foo. the
man who murdered Gum B &C Lee.
Officer Rider testified to the fact of his
finding the deceased dead in a cell at the
City Prison on Friday morning, where he
had hung himself with silk sash.
The jury returned a verdict to the effect
that the deceased was the murderer of
Gnm Bac Lee, and that he committed
suicide by hanging himself.

A Lady's Idea of What Constitutes Dis.
turbiug the Peace

Lady's Idea of What Constitutes Dis
turbing the Peace.
DR.. f. L. Atkinson was in the Police Court
yesterday charged with disturbing the
peace of Mrs. Adams. The testimony
went to show that the doctor rented a
house near the corner of Seventh and l
streets to Mrs. Adams and her husband.
She paid him $40 advance money, and he
had the house renovated for her.
After everything was in readiness for the
tenants to move in, Mrs. Adams went to
the office of the landlord and told him she
would not take the house. She had re-
ceived letter from Montana which called
her thither, and asked for the advance
money which she had given the doctor.
The latter explained to her that he had
spent considerable cash in preparing the
house for her, and did not feel obliged to
return any OF the money. He gave her $5,
however. But this did not satisfy Mrs.
Adams, and in the conversation that fol.
lowed Atkinson remarked: "D-nit I
won't pay you another cent"
The prosecuting witness claimed that he
afterwards met herself and husband on the
street and used similar language again.
She therefore considered her peace dis
turbed.
Judge Buckley reviewed the case and dis
missed the charge. He said he did not be.
lieve Mrs Adams peace was disturbed on
account of the language used. He recalled
part of the husbands testimony, in which
the latter said that when his wife came
downstairs after talking with DIR. Atkin.
son. she made the remark that ''the doctor
had raised hell" about it.
The Court did not think the expression
used by the defendant amounted to dis
turbance OF Mrs. Adams peace under those
circumstances, and dismissed the case.
