The State Herald has an idea that the democratic party will need all it's voters next year without reference to their opin- ions on the currency question. Our gold standard friends have had all the gov ernors for the last ten years, although a large majority of the party have been, and still are, for free coinage, yet they are demanded that this business shall continue indefinitely,

The only paper published on Sunday that had learned of Captain Johnston's candidacy was the Huntsville Argus. It supported Governor Oates in the prima- Ies last year and is a straightout gold standard paper and had this to say:
 At late hour last night the impor- tant special from Birmingham announc- ing that Captain Joseph F. Johnston of Birmingham is an avowed candidate for governor reached us. We only have time here to say that as between Johnston and Oates the Argus cannot for a mo- ment hesitate. We shall urge the nom- ination of Johnston in behalf of our be- loved state. We have no sympathy for him in his silver views. as is well known. But there is a higher issue. Besides, what claim has Oates on account of his shambllng financial attitudes?
 Alabama needs a new order of things. and until a better man than Johnston is announced we shall bend our best ener- gies for his nomination We believe Johnston the very man for our next gov ernor.'

It is understood that Secretary Olney has maintained for some time that the administration ought to manifest a friendship for the struggling Cubans, not only for political reasons, but because their contention is generally recognized as right and just. The rumor is current at Washington that he has finally in- duced the president to take the same view of the matter that he takes.

TIE BLESSED SOUND.

Like a panorama spread before the
happy Puget Saunders passes the series
OF object lessons. But two weeks ago
while here roses bloomed and delicate
vegetables throve. Icy blasts cruelty rip

The next scene was cyclone which tore

night, bringing refreshing sleep. There
the night has it's own terrors People
crawl from their rocking beds to lie prone
on the housetops or hang their heads out

CLAIMS AGAINST THE COUNTY.
Suits for Commission on Foreclosures
and for Excess Fees.

Suits for Commission on FORECLOSURES
and for Excess Fees.
W ". Wiltshire, the deputy prosecut-
ing attorney. is at work investigating the
claim of Walter III. Soderberg, as as
signee of Judgment debtors. MADE against
the county for money collected by the
sheriff as commission on sales In mort
gage foreclosures in cases where the
judgment creditor became the purchaser
OF the land sold. Mr.. Soderbergs claims
rest upon his contention that. inasmuch
as il was not proper for the sheriff 10
charge commissions in such cases. the
moneys received by him on that account
constituted an Soverplus, TO which the
Judgment debtors were entitled. and that
the same having been by the sheriff ac-
counted for ana turned over TO the coun-
ty he, as the assignee, was now entitled
TO collect from the county the aggregate
amount of these commissions, S2,2l3A.
Mr.. Wiltshire has also under considera-
ton claim made against County CLERK
T. w. Gordon ON account OF fees charged
and collected by him in cases of garnish-
ment and attachment proceedings insti-
tuted in connection with suits on money
demands These fees were charged and
collected in addition to fees in the main
suit on the theory that garnishment and
attachment proceedings constituted sep
arate cause. to be docketed separately.
The supreme court, Mr.. Wiltshire says,
has decided, however, that such proceed
ings are branch of the main cause and
the fee prescribed by the statute for
commencing an action is not properly
chargeable on application for writ Of
garnishment or attachment in connection
with the main cause. These claims will
aggregate about s., 500 and have all been
assigned.

NEW SANITARY OFFICER NEEDED.
Board of Health Can't Check Scarlet
Fever Without Ills Assistance.

The meeting OF the board OF health set
for 4:30 yesterday afternoon did not ma
terialize. 1t had been called for the pur-
pose of appointing a sanitary inspector
TO cope with the present scarlet fever
epidemic and to perfect the quarantine,
but as the council failed 10 act on the
petition of the board of health for such
an Inspector, the board did not meet.
Health Officer Palmer thought the mat
ter was exceedingly unfortunate as there
was no question but that the disease was
still spreading and poorly quarantined.
and the failure of the council to act
promptly would now naturally throw the
responsibility upon the board.
One of the greatest dangers OF the
present disease. DR.. Palmer said. lay in
the fact that there was, undoubtedly,
large number of unreported cases where
physicians were not called in and which
would naturally increase the spread of
the disease.
The board of health will hold its regular
monthly meeting next Friday.
Two more cases of scarlet fever were
reported to the board OF health yesterday.
both being in one family, namely Thomas
and Edgar Lane, at 713 Bell street.
The entertainment which was arranged
to be given at Turner hall next Satur-
day by the children of the Lady of
Lourdes college. in South Seattle. has
been postponed indefinitely, owing to or
ders from the board of health forbidding
the assemblage of children.
