The TILLicuxs KIcK.--The Tillicums
have taken the bull by the horns and
have come out fiat.footed against the re.
tention Of Republicans in Office or the
appointment Of the party's enemies to
Office. The following resolution was
adopted at the meeting last night: The
Tillicum club, having the welfare Of the
Democratic party and the success Of the
present administration at heart, views
with profound sorrow and alarm the
action OF the comptroller OF the currency
In appointing Republican attorneys and
receivers for failed national banks in this
state, ignoring thereby the Democracy Of
Washington, and building up the Repub-
lican party; that, in the opinion Of this
club, in every instance where Republi-
cans were appointed to such positions,
honest. deserving available Democrats
could have been selected by the comp.
troller without detriment to the failed
banks, the government, or any person
interested, and that such action by the
comptroller served no purpose save to
injure, dishesrten and disrupt the Demo-
cratic party in this state; that, owing to
the far'reaching effects OF such un- Demo
cratic action in this state, the matter has
become Of general public concern to the
whole party, and that we hereby vote our
solemn protest and denounce this action
OF the comptroller, and that copy Of this
resolution be sent to the congressional
campaign committee, the national com
mittee, the secretary OF the treasury and
the comptroller Of the currency.

NKw MILITIA OFFICERS. Captain bud.
ley Eshelman, company E, North Yaki-
ma, has been detailed to preside at the
election Of officers for company A, this
city, on the 18th instant, the term oil
enlistment of the present incumbeuts
having expired. So far as heard from
there will be no opposition to the re-
election of Captain Frost. Sergeant ]. B.
Armstrong is talked OF for first lieutenant
while the second lieutenancy will be be-
tween Sargeants A. G. Steinman and F.
N. McCandless. All three candidates
have been faithful and efficient in the Der
Torrance Of their duties as non-commis-
stoned officers; choice between them will
be no mistake. A great number OF the
old members will re.enlist, while quite a
number have some time yet to serve.
With reorganization and the infusion Of
new recruits the prospects are good for
awakening an interest that is greatly
needed in fitting the company for useful
ness. '-Ellensburgh Register.

A TYPICAL Boon TowS.--A Seattle Tel.
egraph representative was detained not
long ago in one OF those 'cities" IN this
state which consist OF house or two and
a lot OF stakes driven in the ground over
an area of dozen square miles. He met
one of the inhabitants, lady, and, think.
ing to be complimentary, said to her that
it must be delightfully."- quiet place to
live in. She replied: "Yee, IL 10 Just
now, but then all the cities are quiet
now" 1t struck The Telegraph that the
idea which this good lady had In her
mind was very common and was doing q
lot of harm in the country. She repre-
sented the class which is waiting for
people to come and build cities in locali-
ties where there is no more reason to be-
lieve there ever will be such things than
that the moon will grow tail.

ALL IN One LuMP.-The largest lump
Of coal, says the Chicago Times, ever
handled is in the Washington state build
ing. II is of gigantic proportions, being
26 feet in length, 5 feet inches in width.
and feet 4 inches In height. 1t weighs
90, $50 pounds-about 25 tons--is semi
bituminous in character, and was dug
from slope 1900 feet in length, with q
dip Of Is degrees, OF the Roslyn mines Of
Washington. This lump is % ,250 pounds
heavier than the lump from the New
Abrsm mine Of Lancashire, England, and
26,s50 pounds heavier than the lump
from the Hooking Valley mine of Congo,
Ohio. Washington is a state, Of great
possibilities. 1t has coal area Of / ,0o0.-
900 acres, and it is therefore fitting that
the largest piece OF coal should comes
from its mines.
BRAVE SoJER BoYs.-The ten days viii
be up and troop ID will break camp Mon
day morning. Rain, wind and cold
weather has not been able to force the
young troopers under cover, nor check
the ardor or dsmpen the enthusiasm Of
Captain Downing's men. On the other
hand, the taste of soldiers life, straw
beds and sauce from tin pans and pewter
cups has brought the bronzed, ruddy glow
Of health to their faces and built up appe-
tites of colossal proportions. Messing in
an October downpour. on board tables
and rustic seats may not be poetical, but
it is eminently practical and that's the
way the boys look at it. Whatever may
happen they propose TO prove their 10y.
atty and to stay the time out. Spokane
