The Spokesman Review has been
il t9rviewlng the various state Of
ficlals on the railroad pass ques-
ton. and all along the row they
have gwen their views on the sub
i ct, and there was great unity OF
opinion against the acceptance OF
par ses till Congressman elect Jones,
the present attorney general, was
reached, and he believes he has a
perfect right to accept passes. 1t
might possibly have made great
difference in the vote recorded for
Jones in the late election had he
made this statement before Nov. Sd.
The constitution says that the leg
islature shall make law prohibit
ing public officials from accepting
free passes, but the Washington
legislature has thus far failed to do
this. Jones says that when the
people say they don't want him to
travel on free pass, then, and not
till then, will he quit. Didn't the
people say it, Jones, when they
adopted that constitution? What
he means is that he will stop using
free passes when he is forced to.

THE COMPANION CALENDAR.

1t is said that the expense OF making
the Companion Art Calendar for 1897
was so great that had it been published
in the usual quantity it could not be sold
for less than one dollar. Four beautiful
female figures are reproduced on four
folding pages. Each figure is litho-
graphed in twelve colOrs, being a true
reproduction of the original water color
painting, which was selected because OF
its excellence of design and charm OF
color and tone. The size of each of the
four folding pages is 101a by 6 inches.
1t is by far the best piece OF color work
the COMPANION has ever offered. Both
as calendar and as gem of the lltho-
graphers art, it is so attractive that 1t
becomes valuable addition to the man
tel or comfortable of any rsom. 1t is
given free to all new subscribers sending
$1.75 to the COMPANION for the year 1897,

A FEW FIGURES.

The heelers for the so-called Flaw
and order" ticket have been circu-
lating a type written document this
week which is supposed to show
that the warrants drawn by the
present council for expenses during
1896 are as total considerable less
than the total for 1895 under the
administration of Mayor Squires
and the old council. The docu-
ment in question gives the total for
1895 as %3O5O.7O, and for 1896 as
$3OO4O5. This would indicate a
balance of $46.65 in favor of The
economical" methods of the pres
ent council. But does it?
The items given for 1896 do not
include the fuel account for the last
two months of the year, matter
Of ut least $l25.OO, nor does it in
clude any other expense for the bal
ance of the year except the officers
salaries. The total for the year,
therefore, will be at least $3.50 more
that the statement shows at pres
ent.
In the list for 1895 the document
shows a warrant drawn for $3.50,
burial expenses, but the county re-
funded this $3.50, therefore it did
not become a charge against the
CITY. Other warrants included in
the statement" as being drawn in
1895, and becoming charge
against the city for that year, were
not signed were Mayor jSquires,
and 80 were never legally drawn.
The true figures for the two years
will show that the balance is in
favor of 1895, Notwithstanding the
great cry of economy" that was
raised in the last city election.
But matter of even greater inn
portance than this is found in the
comparative condition of the water
fund for the two years. When
Mayor Squires and the council I'M
der him were seated the water fund
was 800 in arrears, but in the year
this was reduced to $500. The
present council, therefore, took
charge of the affairs of the city
when the water fund was but $500
behind, but according to the semi
annual statement of Treasurer
miller this fund. on July 9Th, 1896,
was 1868 in arrears, or was run
ming behind at the rate of $3.50 per
year, instead of running ahead $500
per year as under the old council.
At this ratio the water fund will
be 1882 in arrears on Jan. list,
1897 If this is economy" then
economy will be the ruin of the
city.

John GRANT SENDS OUT A CIR
CULAR BEARING ON THE
COMING ELECTION.
URGED 70 SUPPORT THE POPUuST
State Ticket and Work for Mckinley
and Hobart ElectOrs-Says Repub-
lican Prospects Were Never
SO Bright in Texas.

Dallas, Tex, Oct. 22.-(Special)-Ilon.
John Grant chairman of the bureau OF
organization, sent out a circular today to
leading party workers and prominent re-
publicans in all sections of the state.
Mr.. Grant urges the republicans to sup
port the populist state ticket, get out
every voter possible on the day of cleo
ton, and put forth every effort to get
as many votes as possible for the Nc
Kinley and Hobart electors. Republi-
cans are urged to cooperate with pOpu-
list and sound money democrats and all
voters to secure the election of the re-
publican national ticket. The closing
paragraph is as follows:
Every one should take local pride in
seeing that their precinct or county
shows up us strong as possible in the
returns, and every man will get the
credit he is entitled to for it"
A second circular letter containing in
structions was sent to the chairmen of
each county executive committee. At
tention is directed to the fact that the
republican outlook in Texas was never
brighter and the work already accom-
plished will eliminate in the election of
Mckinley and Hobart electors. 1t is
stated that reports from all parts of the
state are of the most encouraging nature
and that if the many thousands of good
republicans in Texas who have refrained
from voting in the past will attend the
polls this year, victory is assured. 1t
polled at once in order that all rcpubli-
cans and doubtful voters may be induced
to 90 to the polls this year. Proper rep
resentation at each voting boX is recon-
mendcd, and the bright and active

vised, should be pressed into service.

victory in Texas would reflect credit and

The local chairmen are advised to CO.

His Patriotism Against That
of Any Republican.

Terre Haute Ind, Oct. 22.-The trip
of w. j. Bryan through hoosierdom to-
day was of interest, not only because of
the enthusiastic crowds encountered at
nearly every stop, but because of the
aggressive nature of his speeches.
At Delphi he refuted the charge of eX-
president Harrison that when he spoke
of those who had been saving the coun-
try for thirty years at so much per save
that he alluded to the old veterans. On
a platform erected within Il few yards
of the home of Gen. Lew Wallace, he
replied in vigorous language to the au-
thor of Ben Hur," who, in Il speech
made some time ago, alluded to Mr.. Bry-
an rs an anarchist.
At Lafayette he denied the statement
of ex-Presidcnt Harrison made yester-
day at Salem that with the present con-
dition we are a bimetallic country.
There was greater absence of yell
low badges in all crowds today and
everywhere the candidate spoke he mad
large and enthusiastic audiences. The
same trouble was experienced as was
encountered yesterday in regard to the
delaying of the train ut different places.
and the result was that when Tere
Haute was reached the train was nearly
two hours behind schedule time.

SWEPT OFF THE MAP.
A Ships Crew Find One of Their Reg.
ular Ports Missing.

San Francisco. Oct. 1S.-On the last
trip of the Pacific coast steamship Oriz-
aba up the Gulf of California, the Off
GERS and crew of the vessel were sur
prised to find one of the ports they make
regularly, wiped off the earth. When
the ship reached the mouth of the river
Culiacah, in the state of Sinaloa, the
little mining town of Alfalfa, which had
stood there on the Orizaba's last trip,
standing. This was one of the results
of the terrible storm which played havoc
on the mainland coast of the gulf, Sep
TENDER II and Is. The Orizaba has
just given the first details. which give
a comprehensive idea of the extent of
the damage done. The storm was a
sort of composite affair, taking on the
nature of tidal wave and cloudburst
Torrents rushed down the hills back of
Alfalfa and met the, tidal wave, CARRYING
the town away. Many of the mines To-
Gated inland from the coast were flooded
by the cloudburst. Fortunately. the loss
of life was slight and the Altatans are
now camping in tents or rudely con-
structed huts. Viewing the former site
of Alfalfa from the gulf the most striking
objects that meet the view are the spars
of the schooners Cometa and Rebecca
and the German barkentine Helena,
which were bcached by the great wave.
At Mazatan. further up the gulf, the
most remarkable results of the storm is
observed. In the middle of the main
street of NIazatlan sits Il schooner on
her keel She rode the wave and when
it receded she was left high and dry.
-Four German banks that were so fortu-
nate as to be well off land. weathered
the storm in the gulf outside. They
made port two days after the storm,
minus all their canvass. The San Vim
cent mine. situated mile to the rear of
Mazatlan. was flooded to the top by the
cloudburst.
So far as Alfalfa is concerned. it is no
new thing for it to find itself off the map.
This is the third time that the town has
hccn Swallowed lid by the sea.

NEWS FROM CJTBA.

Havana, Oct. 23.-The insurgents dur
ing the past two weeks have been con-
tinuing the work of devastation, partic-
ularly in the province of MatanZas,
where they have reduced to ashes the
tobacco and sugar plantations of Ceibon,
Compressor, Segundo Pilla, Ayal Puchea,
Petrona and San Juan, together with
many farm houses, the whole valued at
about 100000. In addition, the in
surgents have destroyed numberless palm
leaf and other huts, thus rendering
hundreds of families homeless.
The prolonged rainy season is retard-
ing the active campaign and is undoubt-
eddy favorable to the insurgents.
The movement of the insurgent forces
from the eastern part of Santiago de
Cuba and from the province of Puerto
Principe to the central part of the island
commenced over three weeks ago and
was signalled by the defeat of the in
surgents under Juan Bus from Manzan-
lilo in the province of Havana.
Mai. Rodriguez commanded the Span
ish troops and Bus was obliged to re-
treat, thus upsetting his plans to assist
Maceo. Pancho Garlic, an insurgent
leader. invaded the province of Matan-
zas about the same time, but he had to
retreat, as his force was not strong
enough to cope with 10000 Spanish sol
ders stationed in the province of Ma
IullZaS. luully Jutu tHe
surgent leader, who approached Havana
was defeated three times with loss and
was compelled to retreat towards the
province of MatanZas and seek refuge
in the mountains, being unable to cope
with the forces which the government
sent in pursuit of him.
Capt Gen. Weyler has not decided TO
go into the province of Pinar del Rio
personally. In the first place, he thinks
he is better able to direct the movements
of troops from Havana, where he has all
resources and is able to communicate
more easily with the rest of the island.
| In the second place, by remaining here
the captain general is able to avoid the
| fate which befel his predecessor, Mar
| tinez de Campos, who, on account of the
| attack which the insurgents made on his
| rear. was obliged to return with his stan
| to Havana in sudden and entirely UNI
| expected manner.
Antonio Maceo, after the engagement
| fought with Gen. Echuagu, succeeded. u
| is said, in gaining the mountains. but
