MONKEYING.

If the statement Of Councilman John
Miller Murphy, made in the city council
last evening, was correct, and we see no
reason to doubt it, there is an evident in
tention on the part of George Marvin Saw
age, president Of the Olympia Street Rail-
way company, to wear out the patience of
the people of Olympia for longer period
than was expected, with the miserable
street car service on Main and Fourth
streets. The councilman said Mr.. Savage
had Informed him that he could ''keep the
matter in the courts for two years.n Tt is
quite certain that the two red pneumonia
boxes on wheels, number and number
will last buta few months longer, and if Mr..
Savage is going to keep us in suspense for
two years, by the laws delay, it will be nee
essary to purchase two more bobtail boxes
and additional hat rack horses to pull
them. One of the counoilmen last night
IN the debate on the proposed purchase Of
the line by Mr.. Russell, of Seattle. ex-
pressed the opinion that Mr.. Savage chad
nothing to SELL" He is mistaken. in that.
Ihe two streaks of iron rust, the two red
boxes with the windows knocked out and
one pair of ofspavined horses ought to bring
one or two hundred dollars. There ought
to be subscription started to raise epono1,
money for that purpose, but then it is ex-
pected that Savage would want several
thousand dollars for the "plant." seri-
ously, it looks as if the expiring council
will do nothing toward rapid transit in
Olympia. The first thing the new CITY
council ought to do is to forfeit Mr.. Saw
ages franchise. The state capital ought
not to be disgraced with such an apology
for street railway.

IT was "job" last year with the prima-
ries and it is a sob" this year without
primaries. Morning Iser.
The CALLED jade winces, but tells the
truth for once. Last year the printed
tickets of names for the primaries were
kept out Of sight until within an hour of
the opening Of the polls, and one Of the cit
izens of the Second ward who had hand
in it, was the instigator Of the printed
ticket dodge at the Second ward meeting
Monday night. THE TRIBUNE will always
be found opposing any attempts at unfair
ness at the ballot box. The republican
party has been striving for years to purify
the ballot. -- .a

WHILE the "gold cure" is being used
with varying success in cases Of alcoholism
conservative people down South, says the
New York Advertiser, still cling to the lead

mania. Never yet has there been found a

the leaden treatment.

RELWIG'S ATTORNEY,
Litigation Over an Assignment
Under Duress.

As appears from complaint filed yester-
day W. E. Helwig, an ex-coDvlct, had an
interest in the estate of his father, Charles
Helwig, and in order to secure the same re-
tanned the services of A. NJ. Armstrong as
his attorney. During the tendency of the
litigation that ensued he was laboring under
great distress and agony of mind, brought
on by financial difficulties, of which facts
his said attorney took advantage to induce
him to transfer all his interest in the said
decedentS interest to him, and to constitute
him attorney of fact. without power of rev.

1t was also agreed that npon the loans be-
ing returned Armstrong would reasSign the
said interests and reiinquish his power of
attorney. Although the money borrowed
did not exceed in amour: the stated sum.
Armstrong induced his client to execute re-
ceipts expressing on their face that mur h
greater sum was due.
Subsequently Helwig. as he alleges, ten
dered to Armstrong 500, but he refused to
accept the same or 10 comply with the terms
oil their agreement. Judgment is, therefore,
prayed declaring that the said assignment
was made TO secure a debt, and that the de-
fendant be compelled to relinquish his
power OF attorney.
