what a "wink" means. He bears the title of
judge, and naturally Metcalfe presumed be had

DEATH OF SECRETARY WINDOW.

The telegraphic report of the sudden
death of Secretary Window. which wiz be
found in another column, will be shock
tn the whole country, regardless of party
differences, or differences on the silver
question. Not recently has any public
man passed away whose death has been
more generally and sincerely monrned than
will be that Of the late head of the treas
ury department.
Neither his patriotism. his integrity nor
his high capacity for public affairs has
been at any stage of his career brought
into question He was a man OF clear head
and strong convictions, and was remark
ably well-baianeed. In the Senate and the
Cabinet he has been tower of strength TO
the friends of good government and sound
economy. On the silver question his ex-
cess OF caution has been at variance with
the prevailing sentiment in this section of
the country, but none have doubted that
he was swayed by conscientious conyic-
ton.
President Harrison viii be indeed fortu-
nate if he can find successor for Window
who will be his equal in financial ability
and in unyielding honesty, as free as he
has been from favoritism and as unswery-
ing in performance of duty.

THE CRY OF THE BooDLEEs.

The whole Doodle gang, in and out OF
public life, are earnestly and persistently
endeavoring to work up public sentiment
against Representative Metcalfe. They
assail him through the columns of their
papers and attack him through their
many-mouthed lobby at Olympia. They
are making every effort to prejudice him
in the eyes of his brother members of the
legislature. They are determined to crush
him and they will succeed unless the
honest public sentiment of Washington
makes itself felt.
II is needless to say that the rage of the
boodlers and corruptionists is directed
against Metcalfe, not because he accepted
a bride, but because he accepted it with
the purpose of exposing the briber, be-
cause he made the nefarious transaction
known. When he arose in the House of
Representatives and declared before his
colleagues and before the people of this
state the manner in which his vote had
been sought, he occupied an honorable
and manly position. 1t is not strange
that he should arouse the resentment of
the boodler and the briber, for his ex-
Ii will be passing strange, however, if the
people of this state permit those whom he
had thus braved to wreak their vengeance
upon him.

Legislative Investigations.
Olympia Capital.

Olympla capital
Our legislature has fallen into the practice of
the times in appointing investigating commit
tees upon the bribery charge. We understand
the position OF the average legislator when an
investigation proposition is made by some men,
Der, he votes for the measure when his best
business judgment and sense tell him it is use
less expense upon the taxpayers of the state, at
the same time he cannot very well afford to vote
against the scheme, for his enemies would then
say that he favored, or was indirectly connected
with the matter charged. Thus it is that these
legislative investigating committee schemes OBJ
tain such warm support. 1t is well known
fact in the history of country that but little
good has been accomplished by legislative in
yestigating committees where partisan politics
are interested. This 10 true of both the great
parties, and such investigations have
merely resulted in pilng up expense
accounts for the people to hquidate,
while they were brought into existence with a
great flourish OF trumpets by some would-be
reformer who is, according to custom, made
chairman of the iunketing committee proposed.
Now the Capital does not wish TO be understood
as being opposed 10 investigations where fraud,
bribery or corruption is charged, but IL does
claim that such matters should be placed in the
hands of the courts instead Of politicians, where
there will be at least showing IN expense
incurred
Now as to the Metcalfe-Clars alton.
the matter will doubtless prove d &c., For
after mourning the expense OF sending the
committee to Spokane to look into the character
OF the parties named, this committee will return
and have 10 consider the matter as a question of
yeracity between the two gentlemen, for both
can get hundreds of prominent men to endorse
their past character.
The result OF these investigating committees
is easily forctold: the committees viii have a
good time, draw their pay with expenses and
the state will probably get report

The Chronic omce-seeker.

Portland Oregonian.
The 0rsgoaion long ago predicted all that took
place during the week. When senator Squire
refused to indorse Judge Calkins for the United
Strtes judgeship nearly year ago. this paper
said the Judge would remove from Spokane Falls
to Tacoma and be Pierce county's candidate for
the Senate this year. In less than week thereaf-
ter he moved. Previously he had left Tacoma for
Spokane Falls to fight for the United States
judgeship, and his flop back to Tacoma earned
for him the name of chronic ofhce-seeker, and
he entered the field with that stigma upon him.
In battle he found himself face TO face with
man who had lived in Washington Tor
nearly twelve years, and he had been here
five years before he sought the Office of
territorial governor. Senator Squire came to
Washington when ii was in territorial vassal-
age TO make il his home, and what money he
had he invested, and not only that, but he was
thoroughly identified with the movement
which has populated Washington with live, en-
ergetic, enterprising people. and elevated it TO
its high position in the sisterhood of states.
For these efforts the people came 70 regard him
as Washingtonian, aud that is why he was
sent TO the United States Senate fourteen
months ago. Even then he found obstruction
in his path, but he wound about until he topped
the hill Pierce county had two candidates
against him, but the campaigns OF both were
mismanaged, and Senator Squire had no great
amount of trouble in winning.

HISTORY REPEATED.

General John M. Palmer seems doomed
to disappointment in his aspirations for
seat in the United States Senate. Yester-
day, the dispatches say. there was break
in the Democratic ranks One of their
number voted with the Republicans and
Alliance men and against his fellows on
motion 10 adjourn. This is ominous. In
the memorable contest between Logan
and Morrison in the same state, the latter
would have been elected but that one re-
calcitrant Democrat kicked over the traces,
the next day a newly elected Republican
member was seated, and Logan nomi-
mated.
Illinois has been memorable for close
senatorial contests. One of these almost
exactly paralleled that now pending.
There was a Republican, a Democrat and
an Independent candidate Between the
two former there was difference of but
one vote. The Independent had four
votes, and his supporters were intractable.
This becoming apparent. the Republican
candidate exerted his influence upon his
followers, withdrew, and they cast their
votes for and elected the independent,
Lyman Trumbull
But that Republican candidate was
great and good man, more devoted to the
cause than to self and was ready and will
ing to sacrifice his own aspirations rather
to run any further risk of seeing the Dem
ocratie candidate elected. This great and
good MANTLE greatest and best this land
ever produeed-was Abraham Lincoln.
Unfortunately for himself and his partv.
but luckily for the country, John NJ. Pal
mer is not that manner Of man. If he had
been he might have brought about a repe-
tition of that rather than of the latter
chapter in the history of Illinois senatorial
contests.
Streeter, to be sure, comes not much
nearer to measuring up TO Trumhull's
standard than does Palmer to I.incoln's.
bat il cannot he doubted that the General
could have selected better and stronger
than Streeter whom the Alliance men
would accept. But his case additionally
demonstrates that Democracy is a scramble
for office rather than devotion To any prin-
ciple or cause. From the very outset
Governor ogleshy the Republican candi-
date. has been in the hands OF his party
caucus, ready to withdraw at any moment
in favor of whomsoever they and the Ali
ance men could unite upon. In this re-
Spect Uncle Dick" has been abreast of
his party's best traditions. But with Pal
mer and his followers the was almighty.
There is difference between men and be-
tween parties

AN IMPOSSIBLE ARRANGEMENT.

Representative Dysart, of Lewis county.
must be an ass. Or, To speak more strictly.
he must be an ass If the telegraphed out
line of his proposed distrieting bill is
correct.
Representative Dysart's idea, il is said.
n 10 divide the State into districts on the
line of the Cascade mountains, with the
exception that King county shall be
placed i'm the eastern and Kittitas in the
western district Ii is urged in defense of
this arrangement that Ii MAKES the ponu-
lation of the two districts so nearly equal
rs TO make the districting absolutely fair.
Representative Dysart, however. over
looks one very important point Under
his proposed arrangement the eastern and
King county district would not be COM
posed of contiguous territory. Kittitas
county would separate King county from
the other counties of the district. This
would render the distrieting Illegal, as il
would be in direct defiance of the federal
law requiring the districts to be composed
Of contiguous territory.
II may be well to repeat the language Of
the law bearing upon this subject for the
benefit. not of Representative DySart
alone. but Of other Legislators who may
undertake to district the State without
paying attention to the rules by which
they must go. The law is as follows:

my album in the summer OF 1876. had letter
To him from the Prince of Wales. Sitting Bull
was personally very gentle and courteous to his
friends, but most disagrecable person To invite
10 your house to meet mixed company.
friend OF mine asked Mr.. Bull TO come to
dinner and meet the pastor at his house at one
time, and ne said he would never do so again.
The great chief was not in good form. He was
ni-natured and swore at the table because his
luXuriant hair got in the msyonnsise dressing.
sitting Bull was married three times, two of
his wives surviving him. He was liberal in his
religious views, and bitterly opposed TO silk
underwear among his people. He scofied at the
teachings of Delsarte, and did not go 10 hear the
Rev. Joseph Cook lecture, though at one time he
could have done so by walking less than nine
miles
Sitting Bull, with better supplies and more
encouragement from the war department, would
have made a very successful commander, but
socially he had no standing at Washington City
and so military leaders with less ability but
more pull were promoted, while he was kept in
the background like q poor boy at frolic.
