PiIing Up Costs ior The County.

Yakima had a spasm Of virtue last Fri
day night, and while a boxing exhibition
was in progress at the opera house, Sher-
if Simmons appeared with q warrant for
the arrest Of the principals, A. A.
Allen and R. P. Carroll. The complaint
was sworn to by the new prosecuting at
torney, Jerry Rockford, who charged that
boxing match or prize fight was in pro-
gress in violation Of the statutes. The
defendants were taken before Judge Hen
ton, where they demanded an immediate
examination. The testimony went to
show that there was q simple exhibition
Of boxing, but the difference between o
match and an exhibition did not seem to
be very clear to the justice, and he
bound the defendants over. City Clerk
F. NJ. Spain appeared for the pris-
oners, and he roundly scored the prose-
cution for bringing such an uncalled-for
suit, which could result in nothing but
pilinR up costs for the county to settle.
Mr.. SPANS remarks were vigorously APP
plauded by the spectators. Bonds were
readily furnished by those who charac-
terized the arrest an outrage.

What q The WatherS

The weather men are more numerous
than hairs on dogs back; but Captain
KingSbury does not pretend TO prognosti-
cate. He simply says that on the Srd Of
February, 1888, there was q terrific storm
and that work Of all kinds was abandoned
for three days on account Of the severity
Of the weather. Judge Stair prophesied
last week, when he saw the lowering
clouds, that winter would set in right away
and that there would be plenty Of snow.
Judge Stair was mistaken, at least as 10
the date. Colonel Cock says that there
have been three such winters In twenty.
four years, and, Is Q rule, when there ID
q hard winter east Of the Rockies, Il is
light here, and viee versa. The Ice men
are getting a. anxious rs the farmers, and
II the glittering, glinting surface Of the
water-beds here abouts are CONCEALED TO
depth Of eight inches, you will see the Ice
saws at work In O manner that will send
q chill through the coming summer.

The INDIANS IN OKAHOGAA.
A Letter From |. 4. Navarro Says There Is 10
Danger.

A letter from l. A. Navarro, known TO
everybody hereabOuts, and who went
from here to Lake Chelan about three
years ago, to Col. Hewlett, says, among
other matters:
So far as Indians are con-
cerned, there has never to my knowledge
been time when the Indians were more
peaceable than they are now. A few hot
heads lynched murderer up about ninety
miles north Of here, but it did not in the
least interest the half-dozen Indians
around here. Neither has there been
occasion for so much "cultus wa-wa" up
on the Okanogan. l rode on horseback
down the Okanogan valley at the very
moment when there was said to be hun
dreds Of Indians arming at the Chisel-
whist camp. l went through the camp
and spoke with the Indians just returned
from burying the fellow that had been
lynched, and there was not an angry man
among them. l carried no arms and felt
no fear, because I knew there was no
danger. You can give this publicity, as
it will help quiet nervous women and
children. This war-cry is the worst Of
rot. l have seen the genuine, but this
is all farce.

YAKMA's Moss AGATE FIELDs.-R. P.
Archibald returned Tuesday from the moss
agate fields, situated on Sulphur creek,
about forty miles southeast Of Yakima.
He brought with a handsome specimen Of
agate that weighed nearly three pounds,
which is to be cut into arrow-heads by .
man living near Wallula who has dis
covered the ancient Indian method Of
chipping and shaping this stone. The
agate beds are between forty and fifty
feet wide, and three hundred yards long
from the creek to where they extend into
the mountains. 1t is extremely difficult
to quarry the agate in very large pieces,
owing to It's turning the point Of steel, but
an effort is to be made 10 mine Il by
blasting, by which method 1t il thought
large slabs can be secured.

Who Did It?

A sudden Republican inspiration is to try
to show that New York was balked OF the
Worlds Fair by the agency OF Southern
Democrats. 1t happens. for Illustration,
that Mr.. MILLS OF Texas voted for Chicago.
Mr.. MCMILLAN Of Tennessee voted for Chi
cago. Mr.. BREcKINRIpaE also voted for
Chicago. and various other Democratic Con-
giessmen voted for Chicago. This fact is
now being urged for the benefit OF the New

A Disgraceful Spectacle.

Those who have followed the fluctuations
of Mr.. FAssErr's mendacity on the stump
have observed that there is method in his
misstatements concerning the cost OF mu-
nicipal government In New York city. When
Mr.. FAssETr is addressing the citizens Of
this town lie avoids figures nnd definite
charges, and confines his attacks on Tam
mauy Hall to rhetorical CONGRATULATIONS.
When hc gets into the country he ventures
to put forth alleged statistics. rs exhibiting
tho extravaganza and corruption III tho
management OF this city's affairs.
In Hampstead on Monday evening. Mr..
FAssErT told his audience that all the rob-
berry. all the iobbery. all the knavery in the
government OF New York city can be laid
at the door of Tammauy." and he went on
to assert that "while In fourteen cities OF
tho first class in tho United States the cost
Of government is S159s per capita. in New
York under Tammany it is S25."
This is as wilful. as conscious. and as
shameful q falsehood as Mr.. FAssETT's as
sertion in the western counties that 1t cost
$54, 100000 to govern tho Democratic me-
tropolis as against l3,OOO,O 900 for all the rest
of the State.
His figures. like all the Republican
statistics OF this campaign OF falsehood. are
derived from no other source than tho now
notorious Bulletin No. s2 OF PoRTER's
census. The purpose for which that mon
strous compilation OF falsified statistics was
originally intended is now apparent. The
bulletin was prepared by PORTER with q
view to the present canvass. According to
PORTER the average per capita of munic-
inal exDendit,lre in 1899 in the fOl rteen citiea
Of 100000 inhabitants or more was $l5.9s.
while the per capita In New York was $3.50.
Even PoRrER's lie about New York is not
big enough for FAssETT's use in tho rural
districts; that accomplished young gentle
man boldly stretches it from $3.50 to $25.
AS we have shown over and over again.
and as Mr.. FAssErT knows as well as we do.
the entire tax levy in 1889 in New York for
municipal and county expenses was only
$27.044.547. This included about Sc. ZOO. 900
for interest on and redemption OF the city
debt The per capita in New York city that
year was not $25. but $3.50.
The main point OF interest to citizens who
abhor deliberate and systematic policy OF
Justification is that the Republican candl-
date for Governor OF the Empire State
should be willing to disgrace himself per-
sonally for the sake Of the few votes he
hopes to obtain in this way. His method
has been exposed, but he sticks to it with
out needing the consequences to his own
reputation. His measure has been taken.
and he is now affording to honorable and
truth-respecting persons Of all parties
spectacle unlike anything in the recent his
tory Of political warfare.

A Sclf-refuting Circular.

Three or four Republican real estate
agents have issued circular inviting the
taxpayers OF this city to vote for FAssETT
and VRooMAN. We find in the circular the
following assertions:
1T is noticeable fact that in all sections OF the
city there are vacant buildings than formerly.
Notwithstanding the fact that the putting up of new
structures has been considerably diminished. Mer.
chants and business generally are complaining Of
dull business and loss Of trade"
II business is dull. IL real estate is not in
active demand in this city. the FAssErr
gang are responsible. They gave the
Worlds Fair to Chicago. In Chicago to-day
real estate is booming. trade is booming.
labor is booming. Chicago is sure of ac-
tivity and prosperity in all branches Of
business for the next two years. She is be-
ginning already to earn and enjoy the five
hundred millions that should have been
New York's. and that would have been New
York's II Mr.. PLArr had been a patriotic

cooling gcntleness appropriate to the civil

u letter OF praise for Mr.. FAssErr seems a
strange thing to do. Perhaps Mr.. RoosE-
WELT thought that Mr.. WHITE needed en-.
couragcmont. At any rate. he has prepared
a certificate OF appreciation Of the Shirt
sleeves Statesman.
"The admirable canvass Mr.. FAssETT ts
carrying on" writes tho young ACHILLES OF

assertion. Mr.. FAssEI-r's speeches have
shown that he is made OF pretty cheap stuff.
And. speaking Of stuff. what shall be said OF

gotten during his residence at Wash

sionury OF Mongolian reform what New

Has he heard Mr.. FAssErr pledge himself to

WELT aware that Mr.. FAssETr is pledged to
Mr.. PLATr, the known enemy Of oil the
