Old Settlers Unreliable.

What the cold settler" tells YOU in
the way of prognosticating the coming
weather, is nearly as apt to come true
as one the famous Wiggin's prophe-
cies, or the guesses of the tender-foot
and there is a lot of truth in the fol-
Ing from the Olympian-Tribune:
Professor Snow of Kansas, who has
kept record of Kansas weather for
over 70 years, has never yet found any
one month similar to any other month
of its name in the entire term. Every
month is either the hottest, the cold
est, the wettest, the dryest, the calm
est or the windest of them all 1t is
this fickleness of climate that i'm
presses itself upon the people and
makes them always ready to take up
something new and give it trial.
There is fearful similarity between
Professor Hull's honeysuckle and the
career of any of a dozen "isms" that
have rose, fourished and perished in a
timely Kansas FROST"

Stop Running i'm Debt.

How would it do for the state legis-
lature at its next session to pass a law
to come in force in one year after its
adoption, absolutely forbidding every
county or municipal corporation from
incurring single dollar of indebted
ness without vote of the people to
authorize it? There is not single
valid reason why such corporations
should go in debt for current expendi-
lures. Let them assess for what
money they n eed and keep expenses
absolutely within the income. OF
course few of them would be in po-
sition to do business on a cash basis
without previous notice, and that is
why we suggest that years notice
should be given before the law comes
in force. For certain class of per-
manent improvements it is good
policy to go in debt; but it is as fool
ish for municipality to go in debt
for current expenses as it is for an
dividual. If corporation cannot
paw it's bills out of its income this
year, it has no guarantee that it can
do so next year. Each year brings its
own liabilities. No public obligation
ought to be incurred, which cannot
be met with money when it natures.
Not only would the practice OF keep
ing strictly within the annual income
have a tendency to prevent extrava-
gance, but it would lead to great
saving in interest, and prevent con-
slant additions to the permanent
debt Telegraph.

SHELTON COUNTY, WASHINGTON FRIDAY FEBRUARY % 1o
Delays of Justice.

In Snohomish County, it is tn,
Commissioners who are doing alleged
crooked" work, and the Snohomisl
Democrat has the following to sa,
about the progress of the cases brought
against them:
"The case of the state against the
county commissioners is blockaded
and has been for two weeks, to the
evident satisfaction of the commits.
sioners themselves. Those of our
citizens who have kept posted ON the
status OF the case understand the rea-
sons of the present blockade. On the
9th of last month Judge Denney
took under advisement the question of
sustaining or dismissing the demurrer
of the defendants, and this is where
the case rests today. The Judge has
ninety days in which to render his
decision. In the mean time the terms
OF office of the commissioners is draw
ing to close. Judge Denny has init
mated that he would not call a grand
jury until after the "experts" had
completed the examination of the
county books and records. Its esti-
mated that this will take six months.
During all this :ime public interest
will relax, attention will be attracted
to other directions. The officers
charged with misappropriating the
public funds and abusing their public
trust will have time to partly cover
their tracks. The commissioners will
take very good care of their .'experts"
and we need not expect any great ex-
posures of their own records. The
prosecuting attorney has done all that
is in his power to perform the duties
of his office and bring to trial these
public officers. But he has not been
able even to submit his evidence be-
fore the court or a jury. Justice is
surely travelling slowly.
"Judge Denny may be perfectly JUS
titled in delaying the case. We will
not presume to criticise the court, but
it begins to look as if the commission
ers are goiug to slip out of Office with
out an investigation of their official
acts. But then the public has seen
SO much of this. We have seen how
Krug has escaped punishment. and a
dozen others that might be mentioned
in this state. Men with power, money
and influence generally escape punish
ment. The Democrat, as often men
toned before, does not wish to mis-
represent our public officers or wrong
fully accuse them of illegal acts, but
what is the public to think of these
officers who have neglected the oppor-
tunity of proving the charges against
them to be groundless."

The Chinook.

There is no mistaking the chinook
1t goes about its work like an Indiar
runner on the trail-strong, keen
steady and tireless. All through the
wlntry night it sends the clouds sour
rying across the face of the wan moon
and the peeping stars, and when the
day is far advanced its noisy voicings
are still heard upon the hills and far
down in the valleys.
Welcome as angel visits was its
coming in pioneer times. Long time
the snow had lain deep upon the
ranges. The gaunt stock shivered by
frozen pastures, and the rancher had
fed out his last precious store of fod-
der and carried heavy heart within
his bosom. Perchance he had gone
to his bed with the stars shining cold
and chrystalline in the zero weather,
and was awakened before morning by
the unmistakable pipings of the long
desired west wind. Sweeter music
never fell upon the ear of the stock
man. For in its shrill treble and
moaning cadence he heard song and
poem. of tho returning spring time.
To him it brought hope, and to his
cattle life and fatness. Ten hours
later the brown earth came out of the
snow banks, the famished stock was
grazing on the uncovered bunch grass,
and everywhere were rejoicing.
To the Indian mind it assumed the
Importance of spirit. He named it
the chinook because it came to him
from the land of the Chinooks, who
dwelt upon the shores of the great
salt water. When the winter was
long and frozen, and his children and
ponies were dying around him, he had
recourse to his rude religion. The
Mighty Spirit was asked to send quick
ly the mild spirit of the west wind,
and around the faring campfire the
priest wrought their incantations, and
the warriors danced the mysterious
ghost dance. Review.

GLORY SURPRISING SOLOMON'S
LOndOn's Lord Mayor Is Gorgeous Crea-
ture WhiIe Arrayed n His Robes.

LOndOn's Lord Mayor Is a Gorgeous Crea-
ture While Arrayed N His Robes.
The fountain of municipal honor in
England, says the London Telegraph,
undoubtedly springs from the Guild
hall, London, which justly claims to be
accounted the most ancient of our
municipal halls, seeing that the lord
mayors of the last eight centuries are
with justice assumed to have proto-
types in the Roman prefect and the
Saxon fortreye or portgrave. For
considerable number of years the robes
of the lord mayor, the court of alder
men and the common councillors have
been settled with a precision that none,
save the most reckless of innovators,
would presume to disturb. The lord
mayor himself has his ''gold" robe for
the annual Guildhall banquet and for
the times when he proceeds in state
either to the new law courts or to
the houses of parliament. The alder
men have their scarlet gowns, the
sheriffs their distinctive and very
common councillors rejoice in gowns
called 'mazarines," it being generally
understood that mazarine is a term for
a dark blue color, although, according
to some photographers, mazarine also
means a drinking vessel and an old
way of dressing fowls Then, again,
when the sovereign comes into the city
the lord mayor is bound to don robe
of crimson or purple velvet, trimmed
with errnine. At the time of his in
vestiture, he wears a massive gold
chain, but when he is honored by re-
election at the expiration of his term
of office he wears two chains. The
mace Of silver gilt, surmounted by a
royal crown and the imperial arms, is
carried before the mayor by the au-
thority of the charter of Edward ILL.,;
while the city possesses no less than
four swords, one called the ''Pearl,"
presented by Queen Bess when she
opened the first royal exchange, and
so called from its being richly set with
pearls. This sword precedes the chief
magistrate on all occasions of rejoic-
ing and festivity. The sword of state
is carried before the lord mayor as an
emblem of his sovereignty within the
city proper; the s'black'' sword is used
on fast days in Lent and at the death
OF any member of the royal family;
while the fourth sword is that placed
close to the lord mayors chair at the
central criminal court.
