WATERS FALLING AGAIN.

Special Dispatch TO the Post-Intelligencer
LAKE CUSHMAN, Dec. 1.-THE water
here began to recede Tuesday afternoon.
The rain of Saturday. Sunday night and
all day and night Monday and Tuesday
was the hardest ever experienced here,
and the low temperature OF 81 to 43 de-
erees was all that prevented a most disas-
trous flood, much Of the rain being snow
In the mountains. The water is falling
very slowly. A very high wind accom-
panied he storm AMI Tuesday night there
was very vivid play Of lightning and
some loud thunder.
So far as known. but little damage has
been done by this food, but the country
is stiil impossible from the swollen
streams.
The freshet of November IS did much
damage in cutting out land, changing the
river bed in many places. wrecking barn
on the A. Muller place and floating two
abandoned log houses into the woods.
Slight as the apparent damage has been
from these foods. 1t will cost many hun
dred dollars to protect the bottom lands
near the lake and the improvements stu
ated on them. as the river has opened a
new channel for itself and is liable at any
time to leave its old bed and find a new
course

MUNICIPAL COURT JUDGES OFT OF
A JOE IF THE LAW STANDS.
Constitationality OF the Act OF the
LAST legislature to BE Tested-Ths
Receipts and Disbursements Of

The municipal courts of Seattle. Tacoma
ard Spokane will cease TO exist after jan
nary l. 1885 This comes about by virtue
of an act of the last legislature. The hard
fight that was made by the enemies and
friends of the courts is tooSwel known TO
require further explanation. Interest now
centers in the course 10 be pursued by the
judges who have been iegislated out OF
Office. There is no question about their
intention TO test the constitutionality OF
the law. II is doubtful. however. IL they
have arrived at conclusion as to the
exact course they will pursue. Some Of
Judge Bogue's friends have advised him
to continue holding court and thus force
the state TO make an issue. The judge.
however, has decided not to follow this
course. He will make an official demand
for his salary and If the courts uphold him
In his attack on the law. then he will re-
ceive his salary without having had to 60
through the form of holding court.
With the abolition OF the court, the old
system Of having the city cases handled
by the justice courts viii once more be In
vogue 1t is probable tina, one Of the JUS
sices will move from his present Office 10
the present municipal court room, as It is
much more convenient for the handling
OF the numerous misdemeanor cases that
come up every day.
There is wide diversity Of opinion as to
whether the city will profit or lose by the
abolition of the municipal court. Some
claim that under the system about to be
adopted the revenue will be materially
curtailed. Others say that the abolition
OF the salaries of the Judge, clerk, bailiff
and the expense Of juries and witness fees
will throw the balance in favor of the city
The last annual report of the collections
and disbursements of the municipal court
includes period from August 1896. to
the end of July, 1897. The total collections
were s, 3. disbursements s., se435. Judge
Bogue took office in January. 1897. and IL
anyone will examine the following report
Of collections and disbursements. he will
notice that there has been a decided in
crease in the revenue since he took charge:

marks were i'm the nature ot a legal
argument showing the constitutional
limitations Of the taxing power of con-
gress. He maintained also that IL was
not the laborers and wage earners who
were clamoring for a high tariff. but
the bankers, attorneys and lobbyists,
who made their appeals In the name of
the wage Garner. He assured the sen-
ate that there we're very few labOrers
or producers who believed that wages
were raised substantially by high
tariff. and stlll fewer who desired that
such a tariff should he levied on the
articles of necessary consumption ~ -
