The Sachs Dimculty-work ON the Dry
Dock-A Girls Gymnasium.
PoRr TOWNSEND, March N.-[Special. +
The petit jurors were yesterday discharged
by Judge Sachs until the regular May
term of the superior court. There are q
number of jury cases that should have
been heard, but there seems to be a DISPOSE
ton on the part Of the attorneys who tried
to bring about the removal Of Judge Sachs
to delay bringing their cases before him.
Robert Biles, deputy county clerk. was re-
moved few days ago by the county COM
missioners for his discourtesy toward some
of the anti-Sachs attorneys
Redmond, the 'longshoreman. who was
stabbed few days ago by Harry Landes,
the bootblack, will likely recover.
The first payment is now being made on
the dry dock bonus of $4,000. Captain
De Lion, the protector Of the dock, is quite
sick, but work is progressing nicely, and
the big floater will be completed by the LIST
of September, according to contract.
The uniforms for Company 1, at this
place, arrived few days ago, and were
dealt out to the boys this afternoon. The
company is now in pretty good shape, and
renewed interest is being taken in it.
A Delsarte club has been organized by
the young ladies of this place, and on the
evening of April the operetta of Scene
We've" will be given by them, the receipts
therefor to be applied to the purchase of
gymnastic appliances for the use of the
club.
The actual cost Of repairing the ship
McNear, which put back to this port a
week ago in leaking condition, viii not
exceed $3.50. When the expense of return
to port and discharge of cargo, ETC., are
considered, the total will foot up in the
neighborhood of 5000.
It il learned that Morgan ]. Carkeek. of
Seattle, last Monday bonded 200 acres of
longs to Samuel Hadlock, and Is located
along the water front at Port Hadlock.
The bond was taken for ten days and there
is considerable speculation here about the
matter, as the land lies directly across the
bay from this city.

The fact that only recently has fashion
able society in England become at all SEN
sitve to British public opinion, as mani
tested in the social ostracism of Gordon
Cunning for cheating at cards, the New
York Commercial Advertiser attributes to
the rise Of the common people to
supremacy, and the admission of low-born
but wealthy families into the ranks Of
fashion. Prior to that infusion the old
aristocracy held themselves above public
opinion and criticism. and would have
resented most bitterly any presumptuous
attempt to hold them to account for any
such little pranks as cheating at cards or
licentious behavior. The parvenus may
have degraded the blood, but they have
advanced the moral tone of British society.

proaches when the decree nisi is to become
divorce absolute in the O'Shea case, thus
making it competent for Parnell to make
the fair Kitty legally his wife, the proba-

away, not because of the great ex-leader's

In the general appropriation bill passed
At the close Of the legislative session, there
appear the following items:
For salary OF state gcoogist at 81 40 per year,
sc,4oo
For thcniicnIs, at $40 per rear. 500.
For contingent snd travelling expenses ct
II GOO per year, $s.0n.
For rent OF Office At $500 per year, 800.
For rent of cabinet room for mining bureau,
500: for travelling and incidental expenses, $50:
for making geological and meteorological survey
reports OF ssme, <Gsp0e.
This means that the state geologist, with
nominal salary of one hundred dollars
per month, is during the next two years
TO draw down" the sum of $57. 100
OF course, this enormous appropriation
is an outrage upon the taxpayers Of the
state. 1t is inconeeivable that the legisla-
ture fully understood what it was about in
making such = disposition Of public
money.
It now appears that the provision was
worked into the bill by the urgency and
influence Of the acting governor, and that
this official has secured the appointment
rs state gcologist Of personal friend Of
his own.
The custodian Of this fund is an ex-officio
commission composed of the Governor.
the Lieutenant Governor and the State
Treasurer. It now devolves upon Governor
Ferry and Treasurer Lindsey to protect
the interest Of the state and to prevent the
waste or misappropriation Of this fund.
Already the so-called state geologist has
shown his unfitness for further service
BY the Booming" Of special and doubtful
mining interests in an official report. A
man thus disqualified for public usefulness
should not be permitted 70 throw the
money Of the taxpayer to the dogs.
The pretended survey" will be merely
steal. If the money is permitted to be
spent It will 80 not for any legitimate and
lawful purpose, but for the private advan-
tage Of little ring. This must not be per-
mitted. Governor Ferry will soon be
home, and happily in time to put practi-
cal veto to this robber scheme.
In the nature of things mineral sur
vey" is always fraud. No such survey
ever yet resulted in the finding of min
eral region or Of good mine. The salaried
geologist with fine Office provided by the
state, with . cabinet room attached, also
provided by the state, with one allowance
for contingent" expenses. another for
incidental expenses, another for chemi-
calls, and two allowances for travelling ex-
penses, all ct the cost Of the state, is not
the man who makes discoveries.
