nance of the State government for the
current year is $S35,l75. This amount

1t is a matter of profound regret, how

properly belongs in some leading re-

Sensational reports are being sent
out from Colfax about the growth oil
disorder there since the gambling
legislation has been declared void. II
is said that there are 200 gamblers in
town and that long after midnight the
streets are hideous with drunken
revilings, and it is no uncommon
thing for women to reel in open day
up and down the principal thorough
fares. Sheriff Lathrum makes no
move to suppress the vice. A law and
order league will be organized this
week and a vigorous campaign oil
reform instituted.

The UNEXPECTED WHICH ALWAYS

The UNEXPECTED WHICH ALWAYS
HAPPENs.-Quite sensation has been
kicked up at Port Townsend by the
appointment of NJ. A. Sawtelle, of that
city, as receiver of the Port Townsend
National Bank, position for which
several prominent Democrats were
applicants. 1t seems that Sawtelle is
a dyed-in-the.wool Republican, and
was President OF the Lincoln Club,
which did so much to defeat the pres
ent Administration in the last cam
paign. If, however, that is the only
objection that can be brought to bear,
it will probably be ignored by the
powers that be. Party service counts
for but little, as a recommendation for
political preferment under modern
party usage.

The Commissioners of Arkansas at

duced a big apple grown in that State
and exultantly challenged Oregon to
equal it. The Arkansas apple meas

Well, it was not long after that fact

Sunday evening four apples started
on their journey each of which meas.

Frank H. Reid is the owner of a
ranch on Lake Whatcom. The ranch
is well-timbered and watered, and
there is besides a good coal prospect
A shaft IS feet deep was sunk some
time ago, and just at the vein Of coal
had been uncovered water rushed in
with such rapidity. that the work oil
development was suspended. But
enough work was done TO show that a
good vein OF coal exists, and it is more
than probable that machinery will
soon be put in and the mine opened.

HE RATIO OF GOLD AND SILVER
An inquiry is frequently made as t.
the meaning of the" l6 to l" ratio, sc
often referred to in discussing thu
coinage OF silver. 1t means simply to
coin gold dollars and silver dollars Of
such size that the pure silver in the
silver dollar shall weigh sixteen times
as much as the gold in the gold
dollar. Parity of value" is anothe,
phrase frequently used in the same
connection. 1t means keeping gold
and silver coins in circulation at an
equal value for purchase of commodi.
ties.

found the charge sustained. The rank
injustice OF thus disposing of grain sacks

A CALL FOR INVESTIGATION
seems that there is some evidence Of
crookedness in awarding the contrac,
fol, the erection of the administration
building by the Regents of the Agri
cultural College, at Pullman, a few
days ago. an appropriation for which
was made by the last Legislature. A
special to the Spokane Review saws
that the award was made to Sol
Cameron, of Spokane, for $4,000 &C.
cording to amended plans and
specifications" notwithstanding the
bid oil Goss, of Tacoma, was several
thousand dollars lower. The oppor.
tunity for manipulating the little
joker, in this case, seems to have been
by amended plans" Jobbery was
openly charged by a member of the
board, who left their meeting declar
ing that he would have nothing more
to do with the matter. Now that Gov
McGraw is in trim for exposing cor
ruption, would it not be well for hin
to ascertain whether there is not some
indications of the use of the machine
method, addition, division and
silence" in this deal. The Republican
party can find no better means for re.
instatement with the people, than by
exposure of methods by which public
expenditures are increased and the
burden of taxation is made heavier.

WANTS A SESSION AT ONcE.-Attor.
ney General Jones, who is now at
Washington, d. c., informs press re.
porter that the Republicans of this
State should insist upon session of
the Legislature to elect a United
States Senator, to succeed Allen, while
the Legislature is still Republican ;
that if a popular election should take
place now, it would result in victory
for the Populists. 1t is quite evident
that Mr.. Jones, for some reason, has a
strong personal interest in the cleo.
ton OF a Senator, and is willing to
admit almost anything that may
brighten his party into action. His
most promising plan, just now, is to
hold up the Populists party as a scare
crow. Its propriety is about as ap.
parent as the use made by the English
man OF George Washingcon's portrait.

ToADYIsM REBUKED. - The Arch
duke of Austria treated the Spokane
people to a lesson in Republican
etiquette, a few days ago. when he
passed through that city, with the evi.
dent intention OF travelling incognito.
A band of twenty-four pieces tried
their best by the "sweet concord OF
sounds" to awaken some responsive
measure in his obdurate breast. They
"speeled" in vain; there was no re.
Spouse; not bow, not smile, not
even head at the car-window, was
accorded in acknowledgement of the
courtesy, and the feelings of the 1000
people who had assembled in drench-
ing rain to do him honor can better
be imagined than described. An in.
vitation from the Colonel to inspect
the troops met with no more respect
full consideration. "His Imperial
Highness," through his head cham
lain, only sent thanks and regrets.
Let us hope that this treatment will
ever be accorded to such Americans as
would bow the knee to monarchy.
