THE FLOOD CONTINUES.

Situation In Oregon and Warrington Has
Not Improved.
PORTLAND, Or, Nov. 1.-THE storm,
which abated for time during the
night, began again in the morning and
during most of the day heavy, wet
snow has been falling over the entire
Northwest. In some localities two or
three inches Of snow cover the ground,
hut at most points in the valleys Of
Western Oregon and Washington it
has melted rapidly and caused ak
streams to overflow their banks. DAM
age has been done to railroads and tele.
graph wires. In the Willamette valley
the Southern Pacific has encountered
many washouts and at points south Of
Salem, and between Salem and Albany
a bridge has been carried away, and as
a result no mails have been received
from the South during the day.

THE ARIZONA KICKER
POLICY OF THE EDITOR AND SAM
Piles OF HIS ADVERTISING.

Not Alarmed About the Future of Amer
lea or Arizona Under Certain Condi-
lions the Editor Could Be Prevailed
Upon to Bolt Any Csnd idate on Earth.
In reply to many letters and verbal
queries we would say that The Kicker Is
not a redhot party organ. Nominally we
are Democrat. Nominally number two,
we are Republican. We hold the post
mastership under Democratic admins
tration, and we desire to hang on to 1t.
To most readers it may seem that our pol
icy is a selfish one. We grant 1t. We are
taking care of number ono in politics as
we'll as in business The Arizona editor
who blows his horn for the sake Of party
will carry more deadheads on his subscrip-
tion books than dollars in his pocket. We
want some of the spoils. We do not pro-
pose to help watt a lot of ambitious, self
ish and half dishonest critters into office
snd then take off our hat and be thankful
for what loose change they may toss lis.
We haven't said anything about boiling,
but it may be inferred that we'd throw
candidate down quicker than jack rabbit
can jump seven feet if he attempted to
work us for flat.
We arc not alarmed about the future Of
America or Arizona but we have no blood
to shed. We simply propose to take care
of ourselves during this scramble and the
galoot that picks us up for free bowler
will put in the next ten years wondering
how fur he fell aid what he struck on.
Touching the effect of our policy, we
would invite tho attention of people out

HANNA MIGHT TAKE IT

Said He IL, Being Urged to Accept the
Treasury Portfolio.
CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE Posts WASH
ington special says: It is the general
belief here that Mark Hanna will suffer
himself to be prevailed upon to accept
the portfolio of the secretary Of the
treasury. The week he spent in New
York was a pleasureable revelation to-
him. He was overwhelmed with de-
mands from all quarters that he assume
the direction of the national finances.
Mr.. Hanua has impressed himself on
the East, as upon the whole country, as
q Napoleonic character. The need Of
strong man in the treasury department.
is now felt, as, it has been since the re-
sumption of specie payments. For
some reason the strong financial condi-
ton and commercial interests Of the
East are looking toward Mr.. Hanna as
the man to meet the emergency.
When Major Mckinley was noutn-
ated at St. Louis, Mr. Hanna contem-
plated retiring into the backgrouhd'and
allowing the campaign to be run by
some one else, but he was induced to
reconsider his determination and take
personal charge. He is now being
urged in way that few men would
have the power to resist, to lend his
personal assistance to the next admin.
istration by taking charge Of the most
important department. It remains to
be seen what decision will be reached.

Athletic club played another tramp
card last night when its managers an
nounced 20-round go at catch weights
between Peter Maher, the Irish heavy.

the prices of admission were s. and s.,
the ticket Office was besieged with q
continuous string of boxing enthusiasts,
and when the fights began it was said
that every seat had been sold.
In the first bout, Patsey Haley of
Buffalo, N. Y, and young Sisro of
Providence, R. L., were antagonists at
JIG pounds. The police stopped the
fight in the seventh round and Haley
was awarded the fight. In the Maher-
Choynski fight the former was a favor
tie among the betting fraternity. Their
Judgment proved correct as Maher won
in the seventh round.

an -! EXTRA III! SESSION 5 }!
Indications Said to Favor One
After Mr.. McKinIey's In
auguration.
Should tho Dingley Bill Pass
This Whit tor 1t Might
De f.vcic.ed.
Believed President Cleveland
Will Veto the Measure
If Passed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. l7.-While the
proprietors of hotels and boarding
houses are busy preparing for the reas-
sembling of the national lawmakers,
the politicians are discussing the rumor
that congress is to be convened in ex-
traordinary session soon after McKin-
ley's Inauguration as president for the
purpose OF passing a new tariff law.
1t seems to be settled that there will
be an extra session Of congress early
NJ xt spring unless the present congress
passes the Dingley tariff bill. The
probability that the Dingley bill will
become law at the approaching ses-
sion is very remote, because of the OBJ
stacles it is likely to encounter if a Sc
rious effort is made to press it's passage.
In the first place it is by no means GER
tain that all the Republican silver SEN
ators, who blocked its way last winter,
have
Abandoned Their Opposition
to the measure. It is true that Walcott
of Colorado, Carter of Montana and
possibly one or two others, have ex-
pressed willingness to vote for it
without the free coinage rider, but the
Republican managers are not certain
that they can secure enough votes to
pass the bill if the Democrats are
unanimous in opposition. So far az
known 40 Democrat will support it.
1t is not certain, however, that thu
bill will become law even though il
may receive the approval of both houses
of congress. President Cleveland may
consider it his duty to veto the measure
1t is hardly to be expected that he
would regard it with favor, inasmuch
IS it restores the
Tariff on Wool and Lumber.
These two items alone would make it
practically impossible for him to APP
prove the bill. He might let it become
a law without his signature, but he is
much more likely to veto it if the op-
portunity is presented. 1t is said by
those who know the presidents mind
that he believes the Wilson bill will
supply sufficient revenue to support the
government as soon as the revival OF
business becomes general.
On the whole, it is REGARDED as most
improbable that the Dingley bill will
become a law during President Cleve-
lands incumbency. AS the chances Of
its success diminish the chances of an
extra session of congress next spring
increase in corresponding ratio.
