see just wherein there has been any
thing that was exceedingly humil-
iating to the State" in Senator Tur-
ncr's action in securing delay to
ascertain just how much "personal
pique" was at the bottom of the re-
quest OF our Whipper Snapper Senator
for removal OF the Register. 1t will
be remembered that at the beginning
OF the late campaign, Senator Wilson
engaged in street broil with Register
Murphy, and then and there served
notice on him that his scalp would
be raised if the tin-god was elevated
upon the Presidential pedestal. Every
body knows that if there is any one
trait of character that hobs up over
another in the Wilsonian nature it is
hatred OF men who cannot be used,
and it was just this spleen that nerved
and sustained the doubied-up fist of
application.
Nobody will see anything improper
in the effort OF Senator Turner to
place the administration on record for
removal of officers simply on party
grounds, or of ascertaining how far
personal spleen may be employed to
instigate such removals.

ONE OF SEATTLE'S ATTRACTIONS ON
THE FOURTH. - The Carnival of
Madrid" is announced as one of the
attractions at the Seattle celebration
of the Fourth, to supply the place of
that war vessel which Mark Hanna
denies to the Queen City for a play
thing, while giving to the rival city,
Tacoma, one, and the Webfoot me-
tropolis, Portland, two of these pom.
derous but fragile engines of war,
as aids to patriotic ferver. The writer
has seen the Carnival of Madrid" in
all its glory, in city where dollar-a-
line write-ups had aroused public
expectation to the highest pitch as
we'll as finally absorbing the profits to
an extent to make the enterprising
management ago broke" in paying for
the extravagant laudation. The Gar
nival" consists of very fair speciality
work OF the circus, without the horses.
That is all there is of it, except the
fireworks, and as Seattle gives better
display three nights of the celebration,
this does not constitute very promi-
nent attraction in itself. The only
feature of the Carnival of Madrid"
that is deserving OF special commenda-
ton is the march of the Spanish
Amazons, which is a very fair exempli-
flcation of the poetry of motion adapted
to musical rythm.

THE Olympian disapproves of the
N. Y. Heralds proposition of starting
charity subscription for mark
TWAIN" who is reported to be in an
embarrassing financial straight. 1t
says: "Let the Herald do anything
but proclaim him an object of charity
to its readers" This magnanimous
sentiment would have been quite as
appropriate a couple of years ago,
when the leading goldbugs openly
"passed the hat" to relieve Mckinley

THE absurdity of maintaining a
poet laureate, to grind out verse on all
memorable occasions, is apparent
every time the muse is ravished as a
perfunctory duty. Tennyson's reputa-

better. The divine affiatus is not to
be drawn like beer from bung-hole.

Inianitous Lumber Tariff.

s.The proposed tariff on lumber, the Boston Transcript (Rep says, is sim ply measure to pick tie pockets and crush the industry of large, useful and influential class of American citizens. It is uneconomic, unscientifc, suicidal The statements upon which this schedule was made up are shown to have been insidious and misleading. The result will be to strip the country not of all annually recurring income, but of its white pine principal, which at present rates is within ten years of exhaustion, and also to ruin large class of business men i'll this country who deserve better things. It does not seem possible that men claiming to represent the people will permit such measure to have the foIee of law. If they do, it will cease to be folly and become iniquity. 7
