mKrsLEY on THE GEKEYMASpEE.

Governor Mckinley. of Ohio, in his in
augural address protests against the grow
ing evil of the gerrymander. In state
which has been so outrage0usiy gerry
manded by the Democrats that, VIII
popular majority OF 1000, the Repuo-
cans are able 70 elect only seven out OF
swenty-one members of the House OF Rep
resentatiyes, he appeals 10 the triumph2ns
Republicans in the legislature to exercise
fairness and moderation. Realizing that
the state legally must be, and morally
should be, redistricted, he says:
Make the districts 80 fair In their relation 10
the political divisions Of our people that they
will stand until new census shall be taken.
Make them so impartial that no future iegisla-
ture viii dare to disturb them until new cen
sus and q new congressional superintendent viii
make the change imperative. Psrtlsansnip
should not be discouraged. but encouraged IN
all things where principle is at stake, but paff-
sanship which would take from the people their
just representation, Is in the case OF the con-
gressional redissricting by the last legislature,
is an abuse OF power which the people are swift
10 rebuke. Il viii be your duty 70 &c enfran-
cbise the citizens of Ohio who vera disfran-
chised by the last legislatures gerrymander,
and restore 70 the people their rightfui voice in
the national House OF Representatives. Inc
districts should be made so as 10 give the party
IN the majority In the state majority OF repre-
sentatiTes, and so arranged that If the party in
majority should change, the representative
majority shall also change.
Mckinley speaks wisely. One of the
greatest evils that the American people
have 10 fear is that OF the notification of
the popular will by such methods as those
of Hill in New York, or those of the Demo-
cratic legislatures of Michigan and Wis
consin. When laws are enacted with the
avowed intention of preventing the proper
expression OF the wishes of the people, the
very existence of republican institutions
il menaced.
The contrast between the attitude Of
Governor Mckinley on this question and
the attitude of Senator Hill on a similar
one is marked. The difference, however,
is not difficult to understand. Mckinley
is a patriotic and far-seeing statesman.
Hill is a selfish and cunning politician.

The verdict in the Barnaby murder trial

Press points out that the prosecution
failed to trace the poison directly to DR..
Graves or to show that he prepared or sent
Il. The handwriting of the inscription on
the bottle shows no remarkable similarity

travelled 1900 miles; it was opened before
1t reached Mrs. Barnaby; it was left in the
carriage and carried to the stable, and was
in the hands of several people before Mrs.
Barnaby tasted it. During all this time it
could have easily been tempered with, and
as no proof was offered that this was not
done, 1t ought 10 have had an effect on the
minds of the jury.
The chain of testimony was not direct
and unimpeachable as 1t ought to be when
circumstantisl evidence is alone relied
upon to prove guilt. The Press concludes
its searching review of the trial as follows:
The jury seems 70 have been influenced by the
belief that DR.. Graves was willing 10 commit
murder 10 get possession OF the property Mrs
Barnkby bad surrendered 10 his control. and II
be IL hung it viii De due N ore 10 the evidence

The present chances are that Graves

seems 70 be any sound judicial grounds
for believing that Graves guilt was not

United States Senator Kyle's bill appro-
s.. 900. 900 for the purpose of sinking arse-
sian wells in arid districts of the several
states, has no more constitutional defense
than federal appropriation to apply ma
nure and other fertilizers to the bosom Of
exhausted lands in New England, vir-
ginia, Pennsylvania or South Carolina
Senator Kyle is also the advocate of a
uniform marriage and divorce law amend
ment to the federal constitution. Senator
kylei is about fit to drive tandem with Sem

lend the people millions of money on the
security of land mortgages. The state of
Rhode Island tried this experiment in

THE crKcUIr JUDeKsHIp.

II 10 fairly evident that none Of the gen.
tlemen who have been discussed as candi-
dates for the vacant circuit judgeship will
be able 20 secure the position. The long
delay Of the president in submitting
nomination to the Senate indicates that
he does not expect 10 choose any one Of
those who have been actively in the race.
Il has been suggested, therefore. that
District Judge G. H. Hanford be urged
for the place. Judge Hanford has shown
himself TO be more than worthy of this
high position. The bar of the state is a
unit In praise of the fairness and sound
ness of his rulings as district judge. His
integrity. bis ability IS lawyer and as
a judge, his natural qualification for
judicial position, are above question. His
appointment would not only be an honor
20 the state. but would be source Of pro-
found satisfaction TO the people and the
bar of Washington.
II Is not understood that Judge Hanford
Is in any sense a candidate for this posi-
ton, but if the president should see fit to
offer it TO him, the choice would be uni
versaily commended as most happy one.

THE CoLONELCY OF THE FIRST
REGIMENT.

The officers and men OF the First regi-
ment of the National Guard are beginning
TO canvass the situation with view to the
selection Of a successor TO the lamented
Colonel Haines. Among the officers
whose names are most frequently men,

lieutenant-Colonel Green, of Seattle, and
Major 6aus and Captain Fife, of Tacoma
Northumberland Joseph Green is a
veteran in the National Guard of Wash
ington. He was one Of the charter men,
hers of the Seattle Rifles, now Company B,
the first military company formed in
Seattle. He was chosen Erst lieutenant of
this company on its organization in 1883,
and few weeks later became its captain.
lie held the latter position until about six
months ago, when he was promoted TO the
lieutenant colonelcy of the regiment.
Colonel Green has long been re-
garded as one Of the sblest and
most thorough officers on the Pacific
coast, and there Is no doubt that he would
command the regiment successfully and
credi;ably.
Captain W. ]. Fife, OF Company c, is
also considered one of the best officers Of
the National Guard. He has commanded
Company C since its organization. and he
has always succeeded in maintaining
in it degree of efficiency and
discipline that has excited extended re-
marx. He has enjoyed the sympathy and
support Of the men Of his command, and
is confessedly popular throughout the
regiment, In addition TO his high stand
ing as an officer. Captain Fife is a gentle
man who Is in every respect worthy of any
honor that the First regiment could
bestow upon him. II is understood. how
ever. that he is not s candidate for the
colonelcy and is DESTROYS of retiring from
the service. The discussion Of his name.
therefore, IS prompted by the wishes

but in this his party feeling is SO strong
that the wish is father to the thought,
and that is about all the reason he has
for making such prediction.
Mr.. Bartine's remarks were strong
and right to the point. Will get a
synopsis and send it in my next letter.
Mr.. Newlands also handled the
question in an able and fearless man
ner and such forcible language when
he said he would put principle above
party provided no relief was given at
Minneapolis or Chicago, that the Ga
zette man would have turned pale if
he had been there.
Senator Jones spoke for about half
an hour and gave some most conclu-
sive reasons why silver should be re-
monetized.
The free lance speech, however, of
the convention was made by the Hon.
T. M. Patterson of the Rocky Noun
tain News of Denver. He is an ear
nest and eloquent orator, of splendid
appearance and gifted with a musicale
voice that makes it a pleasure to listen
to him. He has tried since coming
out here, SO it is rumored, to get an
expression from Senator Hill favor
able to free coinage, and failing to get
any satisfaction he threw up all hope
of his party recognizing the question,
and publicly declared himself before
the convention that he was in favor of
any man who was for silver, be he
Republican, Peoples party, or straight
free coinage.
A very strong organization, namely,
the American Bimetallic League, was
formed with headquarters here and
with Vice President in every State
and territory in the Union. Senator
Stewart was elected for Nevada. The
principal object of the league is to dis
tribute silver literature throughout the
United States and organize silver clubs
everywhere Admission fee is one
dollar which is to pay for printing,
postage, room rent, etc., of the league.
Will send copy of the bylaws later
SO they can be published.
