THE DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.

lis to be hoped that there will be no
further delay in settling the senatorial
question. No good reason now exists why
any member of the legislature who is
Republican and has the interest Of his
party at hear. should not vote for John B.
Alien. It is conceded that the election of
Judge Turner is no longer within the
range Of possibilities. He himself has adj
mitted as much. The people OF Spokane
county even are now satisfied that the re-
election of Senator Allen is inevitable,
and that their representatives who were
favorable to Judge Turner have done all
that honorable men could do to secure his
election. Why then should there be any
further delay7 How can any conscienti-
Gus Republican justify himselfin refrain
ing longer from voting for Senator Allen ?
By all the laws of party usage. by all the
traditions of our government, and by all
the laws of expediencv, Senator Alien is
entitled 10 and should now receive the
vote OF every Republican member of the
legislature. No true Republican in the
state who is not actuated by improper
motives can ask that an election be
longer DELAYED.

Yakima County Wants Allen.
Yakima Rapuhlic

For the hall hundred loyal Republicans, who
have been SO long steadfast in their hearty sup
port OF the candidacy Of Hon. Joha b. Allen,
the state at large has only words of praise. For
the minority-the Observation-Disclosures should
be aud is only censure. John B. Allen is as
surely the hearty, popular choice OF the people
OF Arlington as George Turner is an object of
antipathy. because OF his dog-iu-the- manger
tactics. Who is Turner. anyway, that he should
presume TO dictate TO the people of Washington
as to whom they shall have for senator? Who
made him so proIpinent-or what Constitutes

Justice TO the great mass of Republican voters
in the state. The last general election, in many
counties, was solely a fight on the senatorial
succession question; and the victory won by
Republicans then, all over the state, was due
to the loyal. persistent work OF men who
desired John B. Allen to be his own sue

-Full Programme in the House.

A Lively Time in Prospect in the senate
Full Programme in the House.
WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 5.-Tomorrow
will mark the beginning of the last four
weeks of the Fifty-second congress, and
the clash of interests demanding attention
which must inevitably arise from the an
nouncements already made, promises an
exceedingly lively legislative week. The
subjects include such important measures
as the bill for the repeal of the silver pur-
chase act. for the establishment of ma
tional quarantine, for an anti-option bill,
and for the establishment of general
bankrupt law. The probabilities favor the
conclusion that legislation upon matters of
general public moment accomplished by
the senate will be almost entirely confined
to such bills as the appropriation commit
tee may call up.
The programme of the house for the
week Is fairly we'll outlined except as re-
spects the anti-option bill. Hatch, for rea-
sons of his own. declines to say what move
he intends to make with regard to it. Hatch
asked for recognition in order to call up
the Paddock pure food bill on Monday,
and the speaker will give him an oppor-
tunity to decide. Other measures most
likely to be considered under a suspension
of the rules are the bill for the admission
of Utah, the TORY bankruptcy bill and
the New York bridge bill. Wednesday is
the day named in the constitution for the
electoral vote. and Thursday and Friday
will be devoted to the discussion of clot-
ture and the silver question. 1t cannot
be told at this time whether or not the
efforts to force the silver question to a
vote will be successful. The appropria-
ton bills will monopolize most of the
time that the house is not occupied by sill
yer, the electoral count and the suspension
of rules

Places That Will he Disposed OF By the
Cleveland Administra tion.

WASHINGTON CRY, Feb. 5.-AIready 3
considerable number of Office seekers have
arrived In Washington City, and are look
ing over the ground, using congressional
influence and otherwise making every ef-
fort TO secure an advantage IN coming in
for offices that will be at the disposal of
the incoming administration. Many of
them were here eight years ago. but when
Cleveland assumes direction of govern
mental affairs four weeks hence they will
realize that the CLASSIFIED civil service, even
during the present administration, has alb
sorbed many places thought to be de-
sirable.
The general landoffice will still have
few places at its disposal, among the num-
Der seventeen surveyors general, one each
in Arizona, Alaska, California. Colorado,
Florida. Idaho, louisiana, Minnesota.
Montana, Nevada. New Mexico, North
Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah,
Washington and Wyoming. The salaries
attached to these Offices range from Sl,sO
to 81 900.
There are also 1913 land offices with
register and receiver at each, with salaries
ranging from $50 to $1,000. Two of these
Offices are in Alabama and one in Alaska;

Colorado Is, Florida 1, Idaho 5, Iowa l,

tana s. Nebras ka II, Nevada 2. New
Mexico 4, North Dakota 5. Oklahoma 4,
Oregon and South Dakota 8, Utah L,
Washington z, Wisconsin 4 and Wyo-
ming 6.
Then there are eleven chiefs Of division
in the general land Office who receive
salary of s., 500 apiece; one chief clerk at
$1,000; ten principal examiners at $1,000;
two law clerks at $3.50; two law exam
liners at $1,000; one receiving clerk at
81. $40; q confidential clerk TO the commits
sioner who receives 81 600 and a number
OF me ~sengers and laborers whose COM
pensation ranges from $500 to $40.
In the bureau of patents there are only
few important places outside of the
classified service and this also is the case
in the Indian bureau. The pension Office
has less than fifty places in the lowest
grade. The richest field for Office seekers
will be the postoffice department, which
has the appointing of about IS 600 post
masters.
