D E Moo RATIO COUNCIL
MEN-ELECT SHOULD CAUCUS.

It viii only be q day or two more
! than q fortnight before the new city
administration viii go into Office. In
the meantime it is desirable that the
Democratic members Of the city coun-
Gil get together in caucus and come to
an understanding as to the organiza-
ton OF that body, as to who shall be
chosen PRESIDENT what shall be the
] composition of the various committees.
and the ike. It would be much bet
ter to have all this work done and an
understanding arrived at some little
time before the time for formal organ
ization comes than to postpone it until
very near the time when the new coun-
ell takes hold OF matters
To such a caucus as is here suggested
every Democratic member-elect of the
council should go; this he owes to his
constituents and his party, and having
gone to the caucus and participated in
it, each member should feel in honor
/ bound TO abide by its decisions, what
ever they may be. This is necessary
that party integrity may be maintain
ed. Doubtless the non-partisan mem
bers of the council Will exert their in
f1uence to persuade Democratic mem
bers to ignore party lines. using the
specious pleas, substantially, that they
urged during the campaign. While they
Will almost certainly do this the Demo-
cratic members may be sure of one
thing, namely. that the non-partisan
members win stick to their party or
ganization like shoemakers' wax TO
sheepskin; they will ask everything,
they Will concede nothing.
When the Democratic members of the,
council meet in caucus TO consult con-
corning the organization Of the council,
the non-partisan members should not
be ignored in the makeup of commit
tees; they are entitled to due recognf-
ton, but not to say what the organiza-
ton shall be.
There should be a caucus of the
Democratic members and all should
abide by its decision. If any member
should go off after strange gods ana
not stand by his party, the tendency
of such action would be, in a measure,
10 demoralize the party. causing voters
to say: I'VE elect men as Democrats
and then they prove false to their
trust and their party" Let no Demo
cratic member of the next city council
do anything that can give rise to any
such remark.

Hayden at Colfax, Wash.
Colfax, Wash, Dec. 1.-THE murder
ers of Orville Hayden are now confined
in the Whitman county jail, and the
murder mystery is solved. One of the
murderers has confessed and given all
the details of the crime, but the other
maintains stolid silence whenever the
subject of the murder Is mentioned.
The man who has confessed to- the
murder is called Blackey, and is known
by no other name. He was arrested at
Rosalia shortly after the murder on a
charge of stealing. Suspicion rested
upon him and Mr.. Hayden, father of
the murdered boy, who was working
to bring the murderers of his son to
justice, employed a detective, who was
placed in the cell with Blackey on a
trivial charge. To the detective and
William Herbert, the alleged horse
thief and desperate, Blackey confessed
his crime. He fell on his knees and
wept like a child, praying to God for
forgiveness for his crime. He entered
into all details, and told how he and
Dakota Slim" the other man arrested
for the crime. had planned to hold UP
and rob the men as they returned to
town from the saloon. and told how he

relations are in possession of some
mysterious information and weighty
secrets that viii all come out when
the annexation treaty is debated in Sc
cret session. It is on account of this
secret information in the possession of
the committee that Senator Davis, a
member of the committee, will oppose
the discussion of the treaty in open
session. And in this opposition, it is
said, he viii be supported by all the
members Of the committee.
The proposition to annex Hawaii is
q very important one, one of the most
important ones that the senate has ever
had to consider, and the American
people would like to know all that may
be said in the senate in favor of and
against it. Who are more intimately
concerned in this matter than they?
VIII discussion of the matter by the
senate behind closed doors alter a sin
gle fact? Not in the least. There
seems to be SO much mystery and Sc
cret information about this annexation
business; it is so necessary that the
people be kept in the dark, that it all
suggests knavery and humbug more
than anything else. The people could
be trusted with full knowledge of all
that transpired, and as it transpired,
in the Venezuelan dispute, and what
is the reason that they must be kept
in ignorance on the Hawaiian annexa-
ton business? If annexation is the
good thing its friends claim. then they
should be anxious to give the people
all possible light and information on it.

GOOD PROMISE OF DIVORCE.
Mismated Marriage In Which Par
ents Are to Blame.

A11smated marriage In which Far
ents Are to Blame.
Kansas City, Dec. 17.-Jesse Wall, a
young man we'll known in Independ-
ence, killed himself year ago because
he could not marry Miss Leona Corder,
the daughter of Jackson Corder one
of the old settlers of the town. Miss
Corder loved young Wall, and they
were engaged, but because they were
first cousins her parents would not con-
sent to the marriage. Her parents had
always favored j. Harland Webb, a
wealthy young man of Lafayette coun-
ty. They insisted upon the marriage
when Mr.. Webb asked for Miss Cor
der's hand. and finally she consented,
and the wedding was set for last night.
Both families are largely connected,
and a house full of guests and rela-
tiyes came to the wedding. It was to
have been an elaborate affair. AS the
hour for the ceremony approached, Miss
Corder became hysterical. She de
clared that she could not forget Wall
Ten o'clock came and the wedding
supper was served, without the pres
ence of the bride or groom, and it
was finally announced that Miss Cor
der could not leave her room, and the
marriage ceremony would be performed
there. So, in the presence of only her
parents and the most immediate rela-
tives of both, MIR. Webb and Miss Cor
der were married in her room.

The Hawaiian annexationists can
conjure up more bugaboos about the
designs of different nations on Hawaii
than a frightened child, in a semi
dark room, can conjure up over a coat
hanging in corner. The latest of
these bugaboos is that if the annexa-
ton treaty fails of ratification, the
consequence win be the downfall of
the republic and the restoration Of
monarchy, with Princess Kaiulani

Democracy everywhere will be
pleased with the announcement that
ex-senator Eustis has risen to promi-
nence in the reorganization of the Tam
many society, says the St Louis Re
public. The chief criticisms of Tam
many by the enemies of Democracy
have been based upon the character of
many of the men potent in the organ
ization's official composition. Western
and southern Democrats particularly
have regretted the propensity of Tam
many to bestow its official honors upon
men whom they could not admire But
with a Democrat of Senator Eustis
high standing at the head of Tam
many's principal committee, criticism
of the party's enemies is disarmed on
one vitality important score and Dem
ocratic pride as well as confidence in
the society is increased. AS United
States senator and as minister to
France Mr.. Eustis showed himself a
statesman of a high order of attain
ment and a Democrat worthy of the
trust reposed in him. BY casting his
fortunes with Tammany when he
transferred his citizenship to New
York he demonstrated that regard for
party regularity which is one of the
main sources of strength of Democ-
racy in the west and south.

FOR THE GOLD STANDARD.

Secretary Gage has appeared before
| the house committee on banking and
currency to present a bill embodying
his views for a revision of the cur
rency.
He said he had four objects in view.
The first, and by far the most import
ant, of these we to commit the coun-
ny thoroughly TO the gold standard;
-emove, so far as possible, doubts and
sears on that point; and thus
strengthen the credit of the United
states, both at home and abroad. All
his other objects were very largely sup
Elementary to this great one.
The secretary's plan must be consid-
red as the presidents plan. It is by
ar the frankest Gt could be no frank
2r) declaration we have yet seen, from
2 Republican source, in favor of the
old standard. MI. Gage has been
1nown to favor that standard right
along. but the president has never beer
decisive and positive on the question.
The administration may now be re-
sarded as definitely and irrevocably
committed to the gold standard. This
aas really been the common under
standing from the first, but there has
been a constant dilly- dallying with in
eernational bimetallism that had a ten
1ency to make some doubt whether,
after all, the administration was not
really friendly to silver and was not
honestly endeavoring to do something
for it through international bimetal-
ism. 1t would be difficult for anyone
now to contend that the mask has not
been thrown aside at last. 1t is time
that silver papers with Republican
leanings ceased to talk about what the
administration is trying to do for sill
yer. Republican gold bug papers have
long since realized that international
bimetallism is nothing but will-o'-
the-wisp and deride as folly any at
tempt to chase it.
Secretary Gage has really done the
people a service in declaring in such
unequivocal terms for the gold stand
ard. He takes away all middle ground
between the silver men and the gold
men, and by so doing makes it impos-
sible for waverers on either side to
find any compromise ground upon
which to stand. Free silver men
should be silver men, and not silver
men with an international bimetallic
attachment as governor.
