NOTE AND COMMENT.

Inefe was great excitement IN SPOKANE
the other day. Some one dreampt that
some poor laboring man was going to
blow up the Spokane river, ruin the falls
and run riot generally. A law and order
meeting was called, onsisting chiefly oil
Judge George Turner and his Law partner,
Frank Ora ses. Harry Wilson, brother
Of the congressman by that name from
this state. strolled in and inquired the
object OF the meeting. The Hon. George,
who was making speech, thereupon
called him i'd little demagoyue" and
several other such awful names. He re-
torted and called the Hon. George q
"nigger herder," and was saying SOME
thing about Alabama, when the law and
order part OF the audience, presumably
led by the Hon. George, showed their
very great esteem for law and order by
tumbling the dynamiters out Of the meet
ing. The Hon. George was recent can
didate for the United States senate, and
Wilson is the brother Of a man who ex-
poets to be a Republican United States
senator very soon.

The one published in the last issue portrayed q
dismal state OF municipal financial Affairs that
left no room for silver lining to the dark, drear
cloud OF dismalness that teemed to blot all hope

Puyallup Citizen
Here is another evidence OF the benef-
cence OF the grand state charter OF which
we have heard so many good things
lately. And Puyallup is not the only
town in the state that is disguised with
the many numerous advantages" of that
great enactment. Experience is dear
teacher.
Thursday was the annual Thanksgiv.
ing, but pennoyer can't give thanks.
His own people even declared they would
sooner eat crow with Cleveland than tur-
key with him. Were the governor a
Democrat there would no blame attach to
him for not wanting to give thanks with
the Republicans Of this country mas
much us this is not year when Demo-
cfat can feel thankful, especially If he
has heard the result oil tie election in
Ohio.
Billie Mcdonnell, John l.. Wilson, Sem
ator Van Houten and severeai other
choice spirits took dinner with Senator
Van De Vanter, at Kent, on Tuesda,
What feast OF reason and flow Of soul
there must have been. 1t is already
whispered that Col. Billie is a candidate
for Watson Q. Squire's place. States
manship Ms well as good breeding always
wins in this western country.

Since the ultimatum, as it may be
called, of the committee on tariff revis-
fon, it is not met with ia the spirit OF
frankness that the organs OF the manu-
facturers said it would. Although it is
admitted by all to be more conserva-
tive document than was expected, still
there is an uproarous kick from different
quarters because special interests are no.
concerned. Twas ever thus.
So
The cruiser Olympia, the latest OF
Uncle Sans war vessels, is q credit to
the town in our state after which she il
named and the nation generally. Tire,
trials OF her speed have already been mad,
and, although under disadvantageous
circumstances, she has proven hersel
queen OF the fleet. All hail olympia"
She bids fair to beat the world.

The Democrats who had in charge the
framing OF tariff bill to present to tile
next congress have made dismal TAIL
uie. The bill they have reported does
not meet the approval Of Reed and Nc
kinley.
Spokane appears to have usurped the
distinction formerly conceded to Chicago.
as the hotbed OF anarchy. From recent
reports her people seem ripe for strata
gems, treason and spoils.

The tariff bill, just promulgated, while
1t may not spproxima 9 tie ideas of the
ultra freetraders, is long step in the di-
rection OF tariff reform.
