The Davis Capitol Bill.

Senator Davis of Snohumish, in
PRODUCED bill in the upper branch OF
our State Legislature, Monday, which
contcmplates the renewal OF work on
the capitol building at an early date,
by providing for the only hitch in
disposing of the warrants drawn upon
the Land grant Of 1872 900 acres, by a
guaranty OF four per cent. of the
interest to be paid annually, which
amount will be repaid to the State out
of the sale of the granted lands. 1t is
undoubtedly true that this aid would
secure the desired result, and the
State would not ultimately be out a
dollar for the aid extended. 1t is be-
yond reason to expect that financial
depression will continue forever and it
invariably happens that prolonged
season of stagnation is followed by a
corresponding period of business ac-
tivity in which property values, espec-
tally OF desirable realty, always
bound to exceptionally good figures.
1t is just as certain that when the re-
vival begins the granted lands will be
amply worth the whole debt contemp-
lated, which is not a charge against
the State, as well as the small annual
stipend that the State has paid, with a
balance left for the State to use in
any other way that may properly
come under the terms of the Congress
siOnal grant.
These facts being undisputable, it is
difficult to find any honest motive for
a refusal to loan the credit of the
State for an object of such great i'm
portance. 1t is the only public i'm
provement in which the State lags be-
hind. She is we'll provided with insane
asylums, normal schools, a costly uni
vcrsity, an agricultural college, a sol
diers' home, and other public build
ings, every one of which has been
built out of the peoples pockets and
all are now maintained from the same
source.
If the University at Seattle may
hypothecate one-half of the 100000
acres of land granted by the enabling
act for State, charitable, educational,
penal and reformatory institutions"
as security for a loan of 1925, 900,
principal and interest, it cannot be
very far from just for the Legislature
to guaranty the paltry sum of $4,000
to pay the annual interest on an ex-
penditure equally we'll secured by the
best of all titles, an interest in the
soil of a growing commonwealth.
Legislators should bear in mind
that Olympia has never received one
dollar for construction of a public
building that has come from the
pockets of the people. She has never
been party to division of the prov
inder that has been dispensed the past
half century with such a generous
hand from the Territorial and State
Treasures. 1t was tacit understand
ing all along that her benefits were to
be derived from permanent location
of the capitol, at Stateho God. This was
done by an overwhelming vote of the
people, and it now seems unfair that
any obstruction should be placed in
the way of realization of those bene-
fits, especially when it can be shown
that it will not cost the people one
cent, for temporary use of the strong
arm of the State to float warrants that
will now command the highest excel
lence of service at the least actual
cost.

He Runs AGAINST A SNUBBING-
Posi-" MARK Hanna is not having
everything quite his own way, of late.
1t is we'll known that while he has no
desire for a cabinet position under his
henchman, Mckinley, he is quite anx-
ious to enter the U. S. Senate, and the
selection of John Sherman for one OF
the Presidential advisers was supposed
to have opened the door for Mark to
represent Ohio in the upper branch OF
Congress. 1t was very generally taken
for granted that Mark could have any.
thing which pleased his fancy, and
that the Governor would readily ap.
point him to the unexpired term. 1t
seems, however, that Gov. Bushnell
has a mind and ambition of his own
and has concluded to appoint Lieuten-
ant Governor Asa w. Jones to the
Office, with the understanding that he
will not be a candidate for reelection
to the full term, affording clear field
for Bushnells aspirations in that d.
rection. This action is said to receive
the approval of the Foraker leaders.

MUST HAVE THEIR ToD."-The
nerves of Congress were rudely shaken,
a few days ago, by an effort of that
crank Morrill,, of Vermont, to pass a
bill prohibiting the use of intoxicants
in the capitol building. The danger
was averted through the diplomacy
and skill of Dave Hill, who moved to
commit the bill to the rules commit
tee, and when this motion failed to
pass entered upon a speech against
time, in which he denounced the busy
bodies who were maligning Congress
by asserting that saloons were MAIN
tanned in the capitol. He passed the
danger point by talking until the hour
arrived for taking up the Nicaragua
canal bill.

A Smart Con*ortionist.

About six weeks ago George A. Ray
mond. who said he was a member OF
the secret service, fell at the Union de-
not. in Roanoke, and it was believed
broke the bones of his hip joint. He
was carried to the Hotel Roanoke ana
cared for at the railroad company's ex-
nense. The mans actions on the day
previous having excited suspicion, the
case was put in the hands of Detective
Baldwin, who got photograph OF the
man and started for Indiana, where ne
soon learned that his real nmae was
Geo. A. Rippey and that he had nap
naned to a similar accident on the
Rig Four road and afterward obtained
AZ. 200 damages. He proved to be a
contortionist who could at will dis
locate his hip joint and make it appear
| as If broken. When confronted WIFE
the evidence against him the man aa
mitted his guilt. He was threatened
with arrest, but the officials comprom
ised with him and he was allowed e
leave the city. This is believed to o.
| the same man who appeared at the In
firmary in this city recently and snow
! ed his skill as contortionlst.
