the following resolutions with re-
quest that they be pubished:
Whereas, An article under title
"Nezperc, Endorses Tamblin, Mass
Meeting of Republicans Called for that
Purpose,' and condemns certain ac-
tions of Col. w. W. Hammell as I'M
just and against the wishes of the re-
pnblicAns of Nezperce: Therefore be
it
Resolved, That we the undersigned
rrpresen tative republicans of the town
OF Nezperce and vicinity deny the as
sertions rs published under said title
in The Spokane Review as false in
every particular and meets with our
unqualified and decided condemnation
Knowing as we do that no such mass
meeting of the republicans of Nez-
perce was ever held for any such pur-
pose, nor was there one called; that u
certain go-as-yOu-please meeting was
held, made up mainly of populists,
democrats an silver republicans and
from which eminated-the article as
aforesaid-and signed 10y so-called
republican committee
We, therefore most enIphatically
condemn such As an unjust assault up
on the good name OF our esteemed fell
low citizen, Col. w. w. Hammell,
believing as we do that Col. w. w.
Hammell is (and by his actions do so
AFFIRM a true, loyal and energetic

The Court and Politics.

Judge of Columbia, Garfield and
Asotin counties, Washington, has ad'
dressed the following letter to the
Asotin Sentinel, in answer to the re.
quest that he take the stump and make
apolltical canvass in that state:
That there may be no misunder.
standing between myself and friends
take this method of of stating to all
why [ cannot comply with the re-
quest.
"rhe position Of judge should be re-
moved so far AS possible from all politi'
cal prejudices, bias and obligations
do not state this rs my opinion alone
it has been the opinion of people in
general tor so long time that the
mind of man ruhneth not to the con-
trary thereof; and that opinion has re-
suited in custom of such antiquity as
to have almost the binding fleet of q
law that judge or a candidate fol
that position, can not, with propriety
take active part in politics.

siven to the press an elaborate docu-
s.n, in support of Mckinley for the

,f"a,uage the Chicago platform, which,
hs saws, can have but an anar,hist'c
na destructive intlunce. In his in

natriotic announcement:

that there are occasions when u pOliti-
cal platform means disaster to the
country, when politics are closely con.

that on those occasions the churchman
must be the patriot without allowing
a moments thought to considerations
of expediency, and must take in hand
the moral or religious issue, even it it
be vested in the garment OF politics.
"But in the present instance, ] seek
no excuse of this kind. l speak en-
tirely as a citizen, without warrant

Woman and Citizenship.

Experience has shown that new re-

termination to fit ones self for the new

come learned In the professions, they
nave embraced them. Their minds
anu characters have responded to their
enlarged opportunities and they have
SHOWN themselves IA capable of indie
