The war against the horde Of gamblers
Of Colfax is furiously On The green vel
vet devotees who were indicted have con-
fessed. The cases grew out Of the dis
honorable and defiant methods employed
by the gamblers and saloon men to run
the politics Of the town and the county In
the interest OF the lawless element in
business and the outcast class in society.
The silver men have practically given
up the fight In the senate. They are on
the ground and 1t must DO conceded that
their action is taken in the true light Of
the situation. Whether or not the triumph
Of the goldites will bring upon the coun-
try the desaster predicted We can't see
from here; but the country should have
patience until early developments prove
the truth or falsity Of grave charges made.

III r. b. johnson lie guilty Of the offense
with which he Is charged by the governor
and for which he was removed, the fact
that the other commissioners are also
guilty does not lessen Mr.. Johnson's
crime one iota, nor is he entitled to
modicum OF commisseration on that nc
count. But II Mr.. Johnson's statement
concerning his fellow commissioners be
true the governor will fail TO do his duty
II he refuse to depose them also.

Attorney General Jones says that Gov
ernor McGraw has given ample assurance
that be will convene the Legislature In
extraordinary session this year-which
means sometime during the next two
months. We don't believe 1t. The re-
port that the farmers east of the noun
tains want 1t is not true. The Spokane
Review misrepresents the general senti-
ment on this side OF the range when IL
says 50. And we believe It knows it.
Knowing it, it is, therefore, false to the
common interests Of Its clientelage. There
is no excuse for It at this time, but there
is good reason why ii should not be
called 1t Is purely q partisan movement,
the expense OF which will have to be paid
by an already unnecessarily burdened
class OF taxpayers. Who wants 1t, any
way. and what is 1t wanted for2
Some one who has already perfected his
plans to get rich out OF the mid-winter
iair at San Francisco has sent US printed
pictures Of scenes which will probably be
arranged for the deIectation Of visitors
and he offers TO sell them to US ct 30
much cut, so We can use them by way
of advertising his business. The chief
element in this fellows proposition is his
gall; but, to convince him that we're all
right, we hereby agree TO run his cuts for
80 cents an insertion per singIe-column
inch, he to furnish the cuts free to us. II
this is not acceptable, then he and We
can't do business. We are perfectly
willing to advertise CALIFORNIA; grand re-
sources in reasonably legitimate way,
and invite comparison with those OF
th magnificent state, but We respectfully
decline to join the fakirs in their unholy
quest for wealth.
