HARRiSON'S RECORD.
The Legacy Of Unsound Republican Doc
triues.

triues.
What is likely TO be the verdict Of
history upon Mr. Ha-rison's admins
tration of national affairs? Politi-
clans of his own party--his most biting
critics-have become accustomed To
refer TO his regime as one which makes
the administration Of Hayes seem bril-
liant. Put to their reasons. however,
these detractors must confess that the
b]unders at which they point tire fin.
ger of scorn have been Of sort that
initiate rather against their party's
strength and coherency than the good
of the country. As politician the
retiring president has been indeed a
luminous failurc-not because he
scorned TO employ the politicians art,
but because ne bunclcd ii. lie never
knew when to cease pressing van
iage. never mastered the art OF max ing
friends of enemies His cohorts at
Minneapolis were in the main bought
with Offices. a coldly selfish leader
surrounded by coldly mercenary sup
rorters. his candidacy evoked no en-
thusiasm in his own party. and its re-
suit was disastrous, as might have been
forctold.
But it is not with the ex-president $
relations to his party that the nation
is concerned As chief executive of
the union il may be said that his great
faults were his party's faults. his vir-
tines were his own. Committed by
party dicta;ion to an exaggerated tariff
system. swollen and cvcr-swelling
pension list, and hectoring policy in
international questions. he did the ma
tion a notable service by carrying each
10 so extreme a point that the people
successfully rcbelied The scandals of
his administration were mainly abuses
OF the appointing power dictated by
more or less unwise conceptions of
party expcdiency. Over the foreign
policy of the Harrison regime there
must always hang a fog OF uncertainty
What were his relations with his first
brilliant secretary OF state and how
much truth lurked in the rumors Of
serious clash Of authority must be
purely matter of con jccture. Through
ort. however the president bore him
self with admirable dignity.
Gen. Harrison deserves to carry with
him into private life the honest respect
and sincere esteem of the people Hon
orablc. digniticd and patriotic his part
in the administration of public affairs
has ever been. None can question the
sincerity of the convictions which have
made him most answering defender
OF republican economic doctrines But
how mistaken those doctrines ale is
shown by his leaving with his cnvi-
able personal fame at Washington an
empty treasury. a pressing de b. and .
swollen tax list.-Chica<o Times

If the bill proposed had been the law Two
years ago, twelve counties in the state would
have had $780, 56 taken from their school funds
and the money would have been added to the
school funds of the other twenty-five counties.
These twelve counties, 1t may be stated, occupy
different positions in the statistical column of
wealth and population. Franklin, in popula-
tion. il the smallest county in the state, aud
franklin and Skamania are The only two coun.
ties smaller in this Eespeet than Islsnd. Spo-
kane, Pierce and King are the big counties, and
the others are between. franklin, the smallest,
would sustain the greatest proportionate loss.
Owing to official ineficiencies and inaccura.
cies, to booms, to depressions to frauds, there 10
a constant change in the positions of counties
in the figures of the state. The enactment of
house bill No. 141 would undoubtedly cause un.
favorable changes at once. We all know the
efforts that are made to keep down assessments
on account OF state taxation. With the state
tax increased from ~ mills to 6. these efforts
would be doubled and trebled. With such pal.
pable gain depending upon large census the
temptation to wrong-doing there would b
greater than at present. The law proposed
would b . workable premium upon fraud, and
fraud would thrive and become bold in conse-
Quenca.
1t 10 impossible to believe that 20 great mis-
take and 20 grisvous . wrong a. IL contemplated
in this bill will be deliberately perpstrated BY
the Legislature. THOMAS w. PRosCH.

In view of tho fact that the opponents
Il Senator Allen have sought to strengthen
their position by denying that the gov
ssnor has the power to appoint senator in
case the legislature fails to elect, the fol-
towing telegram from Senator Watson G.

netts, who is a member of the committee

This confirms the opinion repeatedly ex-
pressed by the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES that if
John i. Alien is appointed by the governor
he will undoubtedly be seated. 1t would,
however. be lasting disgrace to the Re-
publican party of this state If. with clear
majority of 80 in joint session and with 81
Republicans out of IS united in their
choice. they should fail to elect the ma
Jointly candidate. 1t is certainly to be
hoped that the twenty-four members who
are now supporting Judge Turner will not
be so careless of the grave duty devolving
upon them a. to force the governor to
make the appointment.

be too small for computation. The Taco
ma Ledger and the Seattle Telegraph are
assured of that fact. This il the reason for
trying to bring him out. Judge Humes.
however. doubtless knows just how much
importance to attach to the utterances OF
the two papers named, one Of which is an
enemy OF his county and the other an en-
envy of his party. He has a perfect right
to aspire to the position Of senator if he
chooses to do so. But we very much
doubt whether he will consent to be used
as catspaw by the Turner faction to pull
their chestnuts out of the fire.

If the Republican minority persist in
their present policy and succeed in pre-
