EDITORIAL NOTES.

-
The fight for United States senator
in the Washington Legislature is not
waging in good earnest yet. When it
does there will be hard work done by
politicians, who are now preparing for
the contest.
We have heard nothing about Will
lis' "anti-female" bill for several days.
Perhaps the member from Multnomah
is maturing an amendment forbiddlng
the hiring of any lady as typewriter,
book-keeper, ETC., within the state of
Oregon. This would be as sensible as
the original bill.
The bill for Cascade county has been
presented to the legislature, and we
presume this will be folio we'd by one
for Tygh county and another one for
Antelope county. If old Wasco de-
sires to be carved into small pieces she
must keep perfectly quiet and present
no remonstrances.
John B. Allen still "hoids the fort"
at Olympia; but the forces of Judge
Turner are increasing in strength. 1t
appears to. he contest in which the
one who the irmest friends will event.
ually succeed, and indications are that
Aliens supporters will remain faith
full to him.
The trouble in Kansas will be de-
cided by the supreme court, end this
will settle whether the Popullst or Re-
publican house is legally organised.
Such questions should always be def
nltely determined by the. judiciary,
and this prevents all disputes on
such matters in the future.
The silver men in congress appear to
be determined to have more dollars
coined than the amount provided for
in the Sherman bill. Financlers have
demanded the repesl of this measure
to restrict the coinage of the metal;
but these extreme hi metallists are de-
termined to food the country with q
currency which will soon depreciate.
It appears that Hon. Binger Her
mann is aspiring to occupy seat in
the higher branch of the national con-
gress, and, perhaps, may be a can
didate before the next legislature for
senatorial honors. Hon. j. N. Dolph
has made very able representative Of
the people of Oregon and stands high
in the councils of the nation. He will
very probably succeed himself when
his present term expires.
An effort will be made at the prss-
ent session Of the legislature to change
the plan Of payment of certain county
officials from fees to salaries, and we
hope that a bill to that effect will be
passed. Under the present system
some officials make princely salaries,
and Taxpayers cannot afford to sup
port those whose only peculiar ability
is to manipulate politics in such
manner 90 as to secure position. Pub
lie officers should receive liberal pay

wa,,a Wa LAS mystery.

WALLA WALLA, WASH, Jan. 1.-THE
mystery of the body discovered IA miles
west OF his city Monday was unraveled
today, the body beng found to be that
of Edward ]. Seator, who disappeared
from this cify IN June, 1891. Seaton
was bookkeeper for Dodd s. Co. for six
years. He was high Mason. beng
master of Walla Walla lodge at the time
of his disappearance. Seaton came to
Walla Walla many years ago from
Chicago, which place he left under the
impression that he had killed police
man. After coming West, he was con-.
stantly AFRAID of arrest and probably
became insane from breeding.

Tn. French Crisis.

PARIS, Jan. 1S-Republicans are jgnor
ing personal differences and rallyiug to
the can g of the government. Goblet
states that he wall not associate himsei {
with a campaign designed to provoke a
preslden ial Crisis. This sentiment Is
generally expressed by other prominent
men, whom the reactlonlsts had hoped to
attract 10 their side through motives of
personal ambition. The detection OF Roy
aists plotting at home and the increasing
interest of affairs abroad, have served to
weaken the hold ut the Panama canal
scandal ON the public mind, and the en-
emles of the government also find the
public more incredulous.

ANOTHER CHANGE IN FRANCE

Another French ministry has fallen,
says the Inter Ocean, and the Panama
list of discredited statesmen daily
grows longer. The latest additions
are the names of Floquet, De Frey
, cinet, Burdeau and Loubet. Charles
de Lesseps has in open court acknowl-
edged himself briber, and the muddy
waves Of the scandal daily reach high
er and threaten even the name Of the
illustrious De Lesseps, the grand old
Frenchman and FIRST citizen of the re-
public. NJ. Floquet attempted to face
the members in the chambers Tuesday
for reelection as president, but despite
the fact that he has made an able pre-
siding officer, he was afraid to stand
the test of roll call after the hostile
demonstrations of the right, and with
drew his candidacy.
The fall of the first Ribot cabinet
is, however, the significant event of
the week, and indicates the gravity of
the situation. The resignation of the
ministry is said to have been due
chiefly to cabinet dissensions over the
arrest of M. Baihut, ex-minister of
public works; but the confessions of
Charles de Lesseps and M. Fontane
and the clearer light thrown on the
Panama corruption we're undou btedly
the chief causes. In the light of re-
cent developments reorganization OF
the ministry was rendered imperative,
and in the new ministry named by nj.
Ribot at the request of President Car
not, two well-known names were
dropped from the previous cabinet
those of De 'Freycinet and M. Loubet.
M. Ribot, in accepting the commission
to form new ministry, made the dec
laration that De Freycinet was COM
promised by public rumor, M. Bur-
deau by former articles, while NJ. Lou
bet lacked the requisite energy in the
present crisis. M. Ribot himself
seems to be acting with energy and
audacity, and if, as stated, the reor-
ganization was necessary, it could not
be effected too promptly.
Both nj. Ribot and the chamber
seem to be acting on the determination
that no one in any way implicated IN
the great scandal shall remain in the |
ministry or in position to thwsrt or
delay the action of the chamber in the !
matter of paramount interest at pres
ent in France. Still such action as
the resignation of the ministry for the |
causes assigned seems panicky and
adds to the general feeling of insecurity
as to the duration Of the government
itself. It is not to be supposed, how
ever, that Premier Ribot would dare
to drop De Freycinet from the minis
try unless convinced that there was
more than rumor in the charges against |
the minister Of war. A minister who
has been premier four times and head
ed the war department under 30 many |
successive ministries would not be
dropped upon mere rumor at time
when his eminent abilities may at any
moment be in demand. The passing
of De Freycinet, whom Bismarck re-
CARDS as one of the strongest men of
France, must, therefore, be set down
to the account of Panama. The strong
triumvirate, Carnot. Ribot and De
Freycinet. to which France looked
hopefully for the past few weeks, has
been broken. Should Ribot be the
next to fall there is scarcely doubt
that presidential crisis would be at
hand.

To say that the conduct OF the
Maguigan- Griffin contest in City Coun-
nil "Wednesday was grossly partisan and
unfair is to put it mildly. No wonder
shat Councilman McNulty said that he
would be surprised if Mr.. Maguigan
took the seat on such a flimsy pretext.
The proceedings read like an extract
from the journal OF the Reed Congress
while that body was occupied in steal
ing the seats of Democratic members at
the rate Of so many seats in so many
minutes. There was no pretence that
the voters of the ward had Intentionally
elected Mr.. Maguigan. There was no
attempt to deny that Mr.. Griffin
was their choice to represent them in
Council. The will of the voters was
contemptuously disregarded and their
choice for Councilman was thrown out
upon a mere technicality, and even that
technicality was backed up by very weak
testimony hardly deserving the name OF
evidence. The contest hinged upon
about 80 ballots; there was some uncer-
iainty as to the exact number, since the
ballots themselves had been destroyed
and the Republican inspector had only
kept the account Sin his head" and that
simply through curiosity" as the in
tent of the voters of these ballots was
so plain that he had not objected to their
being counted and had even signed thu
return. About 81 of these ballot
were stamped in the square con
tanning Mr.. Norton's name ant
the other three were stamped in tn
square containing Mr.. Shortlidge's name
They were cassidy legal voters and thos
legal voters thought they were castinI
properly marked straight tickets. S
manifest was this that, as testified b
the Republican election officer himsel
and corroborated by the Democratic in
spector and others in attendance, ther
was no objection to their being counte
as straight tickets. In fact this wa
unanimously agreed to after talking th
matter over. To unseat Mr.. Griffin an
to seat Mr.. Maguigan is, under the eli
cumstances, to defraud the voters of IL
Third ward and to involve in reproac
the members of Council who consentt
to this reprehensible resort to Reed Co
gress tactics.
