JUDGE TURNER doesn't seem to have
had any superstitious objections to ac-
cepting an election to the q. 8. senate
on Friday. He secured the caucus
nomination of the fusionists Thursday
evening. the 2sth. and received sixty
eight votes in joint session the follow
ing day, or eleven more than the num-
Der required to elect, the membership
of both houses being 112, of whom
eighty seven are Populists, Silver Re-
publicans and Democrats. Forty-five
members of the house and thirteen
members of the senate were elected as
Populists and forty of them voted for
Judge Turner on the final ballot, four
teen for Geo. III. Wescott, of Blaine,
one for John r. Critics, of Whatcom,
and three were absent. Senator Squire
received one vote and twenty-five
straight Republicans voted for Hon.
A. A. Denny, of Seattle. Judge Tur-
ner has been prominent in the politics
of Washington and he came to the ter
ritory with federal commission as
Judge fourteen years ago. He was
member of the constitutional conven-
ton and has twice been candidate
before the legislature for election to the
United States senate as Republican.
Less than five years ago the writer
served upon committee of which he
was chairman in Republican state
convention at Seattle. The new sena-
tor is man of fine appearance, strong
character and much more than Ordi-
nary ability. He will rank well in the
senate and it is fortunate for the state
that jealousies and factional strife in
the ranks of the so-cal!ed middle-Of-the-
-Populists made his election pos
sible.

Grand Iury's Report.

To The Honorable Judge of The Court of
Quarter Sessions ot The Peace in and
Jor NE county Of Jefferson, February
Sessions 1897:
We, the Grand Jury of said county,
respectfully report: That we have
passed upon all bills Of Indictment that
have been laid before us by the District
Attorney of the county. That after
discharging the duty above mentioned,
in accordance with the directions of the
Court, We beg leave to report that we
have examined the county jail and find
that the condition uf the same Is not
good. The plumbing throughout the
Jail is in poor condition. Levers on
first or lower row Of cells do not work
properly: watcr-closets and cells also
need renovating. On investigating the
escape of Joseph Aiello, the murderer.
We found that the Jail is not as secure
rs it should he. We suggest that the
ceiling b. covered with boiler iron or
other material which will render IT,
more secure. We also find that some
Of the bars are sawed Off aud we sug-
gost th2t they b. examined by AN ex-
pert and if found To bc Of poor quality
that new bars b. procured. We sug-
gost also that the shcriff's rooms IN the
Jail building need some repairing done
to the plasiering. paper and plumbing:
also the shcrifl's office needs some new
furniture. a desk with more room for
filing papers ard more chairs. We also
examined the Court house and recon-
mend the following repairs; q new floor
in lower jury room: the water closet ad-
joining said room needs immediate re-
pairs; we also recommend that water
closet for the use Of ladies attending
Court be put in where most convenient:
that the plaster in several places needs
escape of the prisoner, Joseph Aeillo,
we find nothing tO censure the sheriff
or other county officers, but we recon-
mend that the method for caring for
prisoners suggested by the Court in
your charge to us be followed by the
sheriff. The attention of the jury was
also called by one Of their number to
the attempt on the part of N. U. Bond,
OF Brockwayvillc, to smuggle revolvers
in to Frank and William Dodson, and
from the evidence OF the following per-
sons, namely, Ex-Sheritf Gourley, Mack
Mohney, Charles Chesnutt and Norman
ID. Matson, We believe it was done with
criminal intent, and We recommend
that the Court instruct the District At
torney to bring bill of indictment
against N. U. Bond for said offense be-
fore the next Grand Jury.
We desire to thank the Honorable
the Judge OF the Court, District Attor-
ney, Prothonotary, Sheriff, Register
and Recorder, Commissioners, Tip
stats and Constable Brilliant, who had
charge of the Grand Jury, for courtesies
shown us during our session.

II all the liars had died as soon after
prevaricating as did Ananias and Sap
phira, some. two thousand years ago,
there would not be such vast multitude
meandering this mundane sphere as
there are to-day who handle the truth
carelessly. And some Of this class OF
people to-day will be found making the
christian profession, as did Ananias and
his wife. The sage of the Punxsutaw-
ney Spirit says "One of the greatest
vices of this age is lying. 1t is not con-
fined to business and professional affairs,
but finds its way into politics. Lies
have been told on the stump, right in
the midst OF an exciting political cam
paign. Mirabile dictu 1t is not an
uncommon thing, in fact to resort
to downright deception in order
to secure votes. Legislation is often
promised which the promiser knows
would be not only impracticable but
vicious, because he has not the courage
to tell the truth. Then, when the time
comes for the fulfillment OF these prom
ises, the people to whom they were
made conclude that there are some aw-
ful liars abroad. Lying does not pay In
the long run. 1t is much more expen-
sive in the roundup than the truth. A
lie will never it in properly. 1t is q
troublesome thing to have round, for it
will invariably come home to roost."
