mcnts against the government print

arguments which are but Il repetition
Of those brought forward when the
people begun to discuss the question
OF the government printing its own
money 10y the agents OF the various
bank note companies which had
grown rich by printing government

and If there are no legal obstacles it is
probable that Gen. Bissell will accept

The peremptory removal Of Mr.. Geo.

Democratic member OF the Civil Ser

land was surprising and has been the
basis OF no end of gossip. No official
reason has been given out for the re-
moval and it is not at all probable that
any will be given out, but it comes
from good authority that the cause OF
Mr.. Johnson's removal was not dis
creditable to him, As a man or as a
Democrat. He will he succeeded ty
Prof. J. r. Proctor, of Kentucky, AMI
Commissioner Lyman whose removal
has been, | am told, fully determined
upon by a Democrat. There is ample
cause for Lyman's removal, in the re-
port Of a congressional committee to
President Harrison, and he probably
owes his retention in office this long,
as many other Republicans do, to the
fact that President Cleveland has been
constantly overwhelmed with more
important duties than the selection Of
successors to minor officials, but I'M
less all signs are misleading, the most
of the Republicans will go before the
flowers bloom again. Dem.

We>t>idc for nearly Il years, a man OF
commanding intellect who gave the
best wears OF his life to advocacy 0i re-
ioIm movements, has passed away,
leaving an impress OF his work and
example upon his time and age.
He was born at South Orange, y.
Y, ami when I. hoy his parents re-
moved to Iowa, settling where the
town OF Pclly now stands. There he
remained till manhood where he en-
gagged in farming and i'll 1889 was
married to Mary Olney. In lS1l he
crossed the plains to Portland. and
the succeeding year came to Olympia,
where he resided the remainder OF his
life. The family took up a donation
claim near tins city, which now con-
stitutes valuable addition to the
municipality.
Deceased in slavery times was a
iree-soiler and prominent member OF
the Wing party, during the bret ex-
istence of that organization. He was
one of the founders OF the Republican
party in the west, and occupied ad-
vanced grounds on human equality,
health reform and free thought in
every branch of modern progress.
His wife, who died several years ago,
possessed like vigorous intellect, and
for many years practiced medicine,
combining her restoratives mainly to
close application OF Natures laws for
securing healthy exercise OF the
physical functions. Eleven children
were born, five of whom survive their
parents. They are Mrs. f. n. Axtell
and Mrs. NJ. A. Lott, of Tacoma, Mrs.

OF this city, and Oscar S. Brown OF

STILL SUING FOR HIS SALARY
The old case of Mitchell vs.. Linn, for
possession of the Office OF City Attor-
ney, or rather for recovery of the SAL
airy which attached to that office in
1892, has had second hearing, this
time before Judge Parker, and printed
arguments will be submitted after the
Judge returns to Tacoma. This is a
veritable Jarndyce" case, and was
ruled out once on the ground that the
tenure of office had expired while it
was crawling its slow, vexatious course
along. 1t will be remembered that
the new city council of 1892 entered
into office with somewhat of a" wire
edge" so to speak, and in one night
succeeded in electing not only all the
officers provided by law. but in two
instances actually elected two men to
fill the same Office-two attorneys and
two health officers. 1t was only the
former, however, that led to conten-
ton, with the result that, after two
years of fruitless litigation and costs,
the case is still unsettled, with fair
prospect that the city will have to pay,
a second time, the salary of the Office,
and for services not performed. Still,
many people seem to believe that it
does not require much ability nor any
experience to fill properly the position
OF either mayor or councilman.
