20 speak. lie has made the ppegiiding q
the university part OF his life work. As
a member Of The legislature ne succeeded
in getting the appropriation BY which the
splendid building ia which the university
+ now housed was constructed. No Oaa
IN the state has taken deeper interest IN
university affairs than Mr.. Mesuy. and 10
is contended that the position De hol9s.

yend the reach of mere partisanship.

MIR. Holmes. IL - said that a number OF
the committee are in favor Of cutting down
the state militia from sixteen 10 eight
companies. They also purpose cutting

poses for the next two years TO ss.asa. The
last legislature appropriated $4,000 for two
years. II IN also contemplated TO cut down

governor and the legislators over the rail-
road commission bill. Al hrst Il was
thought II would be wise to frame the bill
so tina; the governor could appoint the
commission. This met with the hearty
appreciation of the fasionists. Then IL was
whispered about that Attorney Hays. Of
Seattle. j. p. Judson, OF Tacoma, and
Ahira Manning, OF New Whatcom, were
slated fer the places OF railroad comnis-
sioners. Then there Was wailing All along
the line. as fer some reason of another tho
selections did not seem 10 meet with tho
approval ~ the rank and Gle of the gov
ernor's party. The mddle-of-the-Foaders
raised their voices in lamentation as David
dta over his proud son Ahsaiom. They
were I'm the deep woods and many OF them
saw no way out. Finally bright member
saw a way out. He proposed that the ap-
pointmeHt OF the railroad commissioners
be left TO the gQvenaF. lieutenant kov-
ernor. secretary % state, attorney general
and state treasurer. IN this way he
thought a better selection could he made
than II the matter was LETT 70 the gov-
ernor.
The voica of Warner Is continually
lifted in the house. and It Is claimed that
ane-half OF the time OF the house is con-
sumed by the flights Of crafory of tho
representative Of Snohonaish county.
Warner Il veritahle jawsmith and never
seems 20 tire of talking although his
auditors are awful tired of hearing him.
One Ingenious member who Is something
or a mathematician, says;
Warner Is costing the state big not of
money. The sum ~ go 90 vas appropriate
ed for tho expenses OF the present lagis-
lature. bat feel satisfied II win cost near

up about hair THE time ~ the legislaturs
with his speeches. A. half the time 10
worth 80 co he viii have fust cost tho
state $4,000 by the time the session Is over.
This shouid be a warning against sending
Sassy members, who seem 70 think it
their duty 20 Gre on words, words. words.
during the daily sessions ~ the IeglRla-
ture The state could nnt AFFORD 80 have
another man like Warner iu the lexlsa-
