THE POPULIsTs WIN.
Edwards, With Steve Judson's Assist
ance. Likely to Retain His Seat.

OLYMPIA, Jan. 3L.-ISpecial. THE Pop.
ulists profess to abhor snap judgment
methods in politics. but the third party
members of the house today made every
effort to prevent full investigation Of the
right of one Of their number, Edwards, to
a seat, and Edwards himself attempted to
vote to lay on the table the report of the
elections committee asking for authority
to procure the attendance of witnesses,
though the parties to the case had agreed
to abide by the result of an investigat i on of
the first election in the Thirtv-third
district. Judson aided the Populists
and opposed the application OF the COM
mittee with proposition that the con-
testant Gaskell, he compelled to pay the
expenses of witnesses. ''lf ne is not pre-
pared To pay the fees of witnesses" the
peppery Steve declared, 'he is not entitled
10 them"
Chairman Bush said the committee had
no intention 10 make the investigation
expensive. The purpose was simply 20
render it compulsory for witnesses to
attend when subpenaed. Baker, Populist,
sly claimed that the trial should
not proceed further, as the contestant bad
forfeited his right. Saiiee favored the pay
ment OF the expenses by the state.
NAYS insisted that the case had no merits.
Bush OF Chehalls called him to order and
Mentzer, who vas called TO the char by
the speaker this morning. sustained the
point of order. Nash expressed the hope
that nothing would be done TO prevent a
far investigation. The adoption of the
Judson amendment would, ia his opinion,
prevent II. Nash, continuing, in quired:
"Shall We proceed to give this man a lair
trial, or shall we take stand that will
deny him his rights?" Gilman said that
the statutes should have been fol-
lowed by Gaskell and that to over
look his failure TO comply with il
would be to establish bad precedent
Nash and Leo argued that the statutes had
been abrogaied by the constitution. Leo

The committee on elections and privi-

case of Gaskell vs.. Edwards. and that the
case was now ready for trial The COM
mittee therefore asked that the speaker be
authorized to issue subp1nas tor persons
and papers so that the trial might proceed.
Judson moved an amendment that the
costs be betrayed by Gaskell.
After debate Meany moved o recommit-
tai of the matter TO the elections commit
tee, with instructions to report upon the
legality of the special election held in the
Thirty-third district by order Of Gov.

Mcmillan thought the governor ought to
be sustained. He moved to lay the re.
port of the committee on the table. The
motion was lost by the following votes

further step until the power asked for was
granted. Mcmillan contended that the
question was whether or not Gov. Ferry's
action IN calling special election should
be sustained. and he moved to Law the
matter on the table. Neergaard rose to
speak. and Ludden repeatedly called him

THE PUYALLUP LANDS.
A Commission to Supervise tho Sale OF
the Surplus Amount.

WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 31.-fSpecial. T.
Washington state will secure about 800, 900
from the Indian appropriation bill, which
will be reported to the house tomorrow.
The greater portion of this was to the In
dians in Eastern Washington and but
$27, 500 to the Spokane tribe to carry out
the treaty made short time ago.
An amendment is to be added to the
bill providing for the sale of the Puyallup
reservation. This amendment was pre-
pared by Secretary Noble, Indian Com
missioner Morgan and the chairman of
the senate and house Indian committees.
In substance it provides that a commission
be appointed to take charge of the sale,
deed and conveyance of the land in the
reservation. This commission is to be au-
thorized to ascertain who are the
owners of all the allotted lands
and to provide guardians for those
who are not OF age. The portion
of the lands selected for sale are to
be plated as an addition to the city of Ia
coma. The allottees shall not have the
power of alienation for the allotted lands
for a period of ten years. The funds Sc
cured from the sale of the allotted lands
are to be placed in the treasury
to the credit of the representa-
tives of the allottees with 4 per
cent interest. One-tenth of the principal
may in one year be expended tor the In
dians under the direction of the proper
officials. Representative Wilson was
seen about this amendment. He says he
does not know whether itswill be success
full or not but he is of the opinion that 1t
is the only measure that can he put

Dispensaries q Failure.

The latest court decision bearing
upon the dispensary liquor law in
South Carolina is that handed down
by Judge Hudson, of the District
bench, refusing to grant an order of
search and seizure in the case of State
VS.. j. M. James, the Darlington Is. CO.
saloon keeper, who had been reported
for selling liquor. This decision, to
all appearances, strikes the final death
blow to the State liquor law and pro-
vokes the administrations local organ
to declare that the judge ought to be
impeached for his decision and char
acterizes him as the liquor mans best
friend.
In discussing the section of the dis
pensary act authorizing aG officer to
search a mans premises and contis-
cate his personal property, Judge
Hudson says; "If the construction of
the act contended for by the plaintiff
be correct, or if the act be enforced as
the terms demand, then no citizen of
the land, high or low, in city town or
country, of whatever calling, trade or
business, is safe from unreasonable
searches and seizures, and fperchance
he should keep wines or liquors in
his place of business for the private
use of himself, family and friends, the
liquor and all personal property are
liable to seizure, 10 abide the result Of
an indictment or an action for abat-
ing nuisance. Each and every citi-
zen is thus placed at the mercy of the
envy, malice and revenge of q secret
spy or hostile neighbor. The danger
GUS consequences of such license and
immunity given to malicious prose-
cutor are too apparent to call for COM
ment.n

THE MILLS CLOSED.

The recent temporary shutting
down of the mills that make ginghams
and cotton goods in Maine, New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts, has been
thoroughly discussed by the COM
mission men who handle these goods.
An almost unanimous opinion was
found among members of the trade
ON that point that the stop, for time,
was a good one. 1t was held that
this action was taken by certain mills
because, while there had been an in
crease in the demand for cotton goods
for general wear, there had been a
corresponding decrease in the demand
for ginghams. In other words, cot
ton goods are more popular with wo-
men this season than are ginghams.
Some mills had been making ginghams
in large quantities, and had accumula-
ted heavy stocks which they could not
get rid of at once. By stopping their
mills the market would be eased and
when the fall trade begins the mills on
resuming will not find them over
stocked. Other reasons for closing
were the lack of confidence In busi-
ness circles and the uncertainty as to
what congress will do with the tariff
and Sherman law. 1t was agreed that
no better time than The present could
have bAen chosen for the shutting
down of the mills because 1t is at this
season that the men take their vaca-
ton and they are not likely to feel
the effect Of the loss of work. Near
ly all the mill operatives have money
in the banks and will be able to stand
the layoff without suffering.

Lynching Aftermath.

The aftermath of the lynching of
the alleged rapist, Walker, in the city
Of Memphis, Tenn, promises more
than was expected.
In the criminal court yesterday At
torney General George Is. Peters
filed an affidavit, reciting the history
of the lynching, including this: The
affiant is informed that any resistance
or threats of resistance by said sheriff
would have saved the life of said
Walker; that said sheriff wholly failed
to do his duty and permitted unknown
persons to take away and lynch said
Walker, and refused to permit his
deputies, policemen or Others, to offer
resistance by directing his men not to
hurt anybody.
The criminal court judge suspend
ed the sheriff and the coroner has
charge of the county. The grand
Jury has been called to investigate the
case and public sentiment loudly con-
demns the inexplicable conduct Of
the sheriff and police captain, who
would not permit their men to offer
resistance.

the way, is kinsman Of our fellow
townsman, Dr. W. G.. Spesrman, has
done moro to develop the industry in
Florida than any other man in that
state, and to his efforts is due the de-
velopment of great, and heretofore
latent, resource. In view of the
splendid results attained in this field
in another state we are prompted to
inquire why Arkansas should not
reap an equal benefit from her practi-
cally inexhaustible beds of virgin clay.
Scientific investigation has shown the
soil of our state to be rich in this
product and it requires only the magic
wand of the capitalist to convert the
raw material into marketable wares.
This, however, is only one more of
Arkansas lights that remains hidden
under the bushel of sloth and inactivl
ty. One man like Samuel W. league
would, under existing circumstances,
prove veritable bonanza to Arkan-
sas, adding by his individual efforts
great source of wealth, industry and
profit to the slim resources of the
state.

ENFORCE THE LAWS.

One of the greatest evils which
menaces the present peace and future
prosperity of this nation is that of un-
restricted pauper immigration into
our country. For years the United
States has been made dumping
ground for European refuse and even
to this day, despite our recent prohib-
itory laws, the tramp steamers of the
Atlantic line our shores, packed to
the guards with wretched human
freight which they seek to unload up
on American soil. AS a striking IL
lustration of this truth it appears that
out of the 800 immigrants arriving at
New York in one single day, Friday
of last week, 427 are absolutely penni-
less. Upwards of $50 have less than
$5, and there are but eleven with $50.
Most of these people came from Rus
sia, and it remains to be seen what
the government will do about it. A
certain number, of course, will be
looked after by friends and relatives,
but this shipload of helpless humanity
strikingly illustrates the monstrous
evil of indiscriminate immigration. If
these people should be allowed to land
large number of them would imme-
diately become public charge. They
would have to be supported by the
authorities or through some charita-
BILE means. The immigration bureau
of the federal government, is hoped,
will exert itself to put stop to this
sort of thing. There is no use in con-
gress making laws to protect the
country If the ocean tramps are allow
ed to dump upon our shores vast
mass of ignorance and extreme pow
erty.

War Imminent.

In commenting upon the position
Of affairs in Siam and the probable
complication between France and
England growing out of same, the st.
James london Gazette, says:
Gone thought conveyed by Slams
reply to the French ultimatum is that
she has suffered enough humiliation
for small power that has been un-
fortunate enough to get in the way of

to grab and to extort her desires at
the cannon's mouth. We can endure
the pillage of Siam to the 18th paral-
lei .ot latitude, but the pillage OF
Siam, China and Burmah, to the 23rd
parallel is a different matter. We are

Possibilities of Texas.

There are only the fewest people
who realize what is really meant by
the six ciphers, 252,s14, representing
in miles the vast area of the state of
Texas. To the casual reader these
figures may seem very little; they
show, however, that the Lone Star
state is more than fifty-four times as
large as the state of Connecticut.
If it were possible to run railroad
train from Connecticut to Texas and
back in day, and il the train could
take the entire population OF the Nut
meg state, as given ili the last census,
at every trip, and upon its return TO
Connecticut there should be as many
persons in the state as there were be-
fore the train left with its cargo, and
if each were placed upon an acre of
ground upon its arrival in Texas, the
train would be obliged to make 224
trips, or to depopulate Connecticut
224 times before accomplishing its
mission, and then there would remain
in Texas 709,s0S empty acres.
If the entire state of Texas, remarks
the Memphis Appeal-Avalanche, were
planted with corn and the hills were
two feet apart and the rows were
three feet apart, and if every man,
woman and child IN the state Of Con-
necticut were set to work in the field
to hoe the corn, and each person were
able to and did hoe two hills in five
minutes, it would take this army of
laborers 7 years, 200 days and seven
hours to hoe every hill of corn in the
state, laboring continuously day and
night, 365 days in the year.
The man who fears that he could
not elbow his way around in the
crowded west without chatting the
nap off his coat sleeves, may gather
some solace from the statement that
the entire population of the globe
fourteen hundred million souls--di-
vided into families of five persons
each, could be located in Texas, each
family with house on a half acre lot
and there would still remain 50,000,'
900 vacant family lots,
