THE SEATTLE BooDLERs.

The Democratic leaders In Seattle are
having = hard time just now.
Other arrests of Democratic reformers are
promised at an early day. So far ii does
not appear that Krug himself got any of
the city money. His friends. laid on
him.--fort angeles Tribune.
Our idea is that Krug is to blame for his
weakness. while his aecomplices in crime
are the more TO blame. nom the fact that
they have robbed the fair city under the
hypocritical guise Of superior goodness.
And the parties TO the great offense are
the embodiment of the Democratic RE-
form" administration. How, then, can
the party in Seattle escape responsibility
for the public outragef Perhaps by tele-
graphing hourly to the st. Paul police to
.hoid krug at all hazards" but If we
mistake not public intelligence, even that
anxiety to punish Krug viii hardly cleanse
the blackencd record of SeattIe's reform
administration. Hamilton Herald.

versation Miss Richards claims that Peer
sworc at her, told her he would raid the
house If he was on the beat another day.
Miss Richards introduced several wit.
nesses, but with the exception of the sister
not one testified positively to what took
place.
Officer Peer, on the other hand, brough,
out the most damaging evidence against
the two women from reputable witnesses
of both sexes. The evidence was of such
vile nature that Commissioner Wailing-
ford arose and moved to dismiss the
charges before half ofthe witnesses for the
defense were introduced. The motion was
carried unanimously.
A complaint from Patrick o'Brien, pro-
