ing Tor ANNEXATION, there isn't much
probability ol the treaty being ratified.
The loss of the big boss is what
they are calling Senator Joseph Fire
alarm Foraker just now. There isn't
the Sli .htc-t doubt that Boss Hanna
owes his election to the Senate to
Foraker, nor that he would rather
have owed 1t to any other man in the
world. Foraker was in Washington
kinley, to ct down and ask Cor his
help and agree to his terms Hanna
though he could buy his way through
without regard to Foraker. At the
last minute he got ratified and notified
Mr.. Mckinley to got Foraker's help
on the best terms he could, but to get
it. 1t took Mr.. Mckinley and Senator
Foraker two or three hours to come to
terms, bat in the end Foraker had his
way and had sent the telegram to
Columbus that insured Hanna's cleo
ton to the Senate. The terms upon
which Mr.. Mckinley secured Foraker's
assistance for Hanna were, Of course,

The CAUSE OF ANNIE's SpLEEN.-
Mr.. Scobey gives, in the Chicago Tri-
bume, the reason why Annie Besant in
the issue of that paper of Dec. 9Th, be-
rated Olympia as a deserted shell of
o town." when she visited it on a lee
ture tour earlier in the year. Mr.. S.
gives the true reason of the animals
which made everything look sad and
scar through her eyes, and that was
the meagre patronage accorded her
lecture; but he does not tell that she
had, on previous visit, offended many
theosophists by what they considered
unfair criticisms of DR.. Judge, one of
the shining lights of their creed. Miss
Besant, and the titled lady who trav-
eled with her, declared the small audi
ence to be the result Of general boy
colt, felt elsewhere and everywhere
they went, but in a less degree. Her
roast" of Olympia was simply an ex-
hibition of spleen as unusual to those
of exalted nature as it was unexpected
in one who is the exponent of a creed
of such transcendental loneliness.
Such ebulitions of bile 'twere better
to pass by with silent contempt.

The Republican members of the
Senate Committee on Finance went to
pigeon-hole the Stanley Matthews
resolution, declaring that all U. S.
bonds are payable in silver, at the
option of the government, which
was offered by Senator Teller, and
referred to this committee. They
say that the reporting Of the resolu-
ton will cause needless agitation;
that it has been adopted by Congress
and tina. it's readoption now by the
Senate, when it is known that the
House would not be allowed to vote
upon it, would accomplish nothing.
But the Democrats have no idea OF
allowing the resolution to be smoth-
cred. They intend that it shall he
reported and voted upon. 1t will put
the Senators on record, as we'll as
serve as notice to the gold standard
administration that its efforts for gold
bond legislation also belong in the
needless agitation" class.

THE Populists of st. Louis are max
ing trial of the Referendum, to see
how it will work-as it were. The
questions submitted by their late con-
vention we're: "What date is your
choice for holding national conven-
ton for the nomination of Presiden-
tial enthusiastically, July 4, 1898?
Friday, May 26, 1899? Thursday,
February %, 1900? The ballots are
similar to the Australian ticket and
will be polled by the local committees
and the Populist press. The main
difficulty we see is in the feasibility of
the plan. As there are 597 days be-
tween the first date named and the
last, there will probably be just that
number of opinions expressed by the
ballot, for the Referendum is no
respector of Australian ballot, or any
other rule.

MCKENNA Observation-Disclosures of
Congress are unbounded in their criti-
cism of the act of Judge McKenna in
sending congratulations to Boss
Hanna. They declare that no party
fealty can excuse one who has been
elevated to his exalted position to
stoop to congratulate any man upon
a success which, when based upon
principle, involves questions on which,
our best citizens honestly differ; and
when the victor in a contest comes
forth with scorched plumage, any
guardian of Justice should at least
refrain from an expression of the "Old
Boy" which constitutes the basic
stratem of poor human nature.

DURRANT's body was cremated at
Altedena, suburb of Pasadena, last
week, and the ashes fill an ordinary
tin dispatch box nine inches long,
six inches wide and three and a-hali
inches deep. The key is in possession
of Mrs. Durrant, who treats the box OF
ashes with all the reverence she be-
slowed upon the casket of flesh. That
his body be crcmated was the last
wish Durrant expressed to his father,
and it was probably to conceal from
the world the existence of abnormal
passions which would afford an explain
alton of the motive of the crime
charged to him, and affords a ground.
work for the stoicism that is doubtless
the result OF heredity.

OF Mayor Templeton, of British Co.
lumbia, Sunday, from an apoplectic
stroke, that is supposed to have re-
suited from his overwhelming defeat
at the recent municipal election. His
death is the more tragic since two ex-

sudden deaths; ex-Mayor Oppenhei-
mer having died fortnight ago there,
and ex-Mayor Cope few weeks ago
suffered death from drowning on the

son and several other Indians, went to
the farm of William F. belong, with
whom they had had trouble, and Or
dered him to vacate the premises.
They threatened to burn his house
and commit other depredatons. De
Long went into the house, got q gun,
and in order to protect himself and
property, shot and killed Indian Jim's
son and wounded another Indian.
When the other Indians saw their
companions were shot, they hurried
away. The report OF the shooting
soon reached Wallula, and caused
great excitement.

A "Civil Service Scheme.

To show how devoted the Republi-
can party are to the principles of civil
service reform and an award of public
position solely on qualification, We
have only to cite the particulars of
a deal lately made by our vest-pock-
ct" U. S. Senator to promote his
chances for reelection and reward
some of the ring manipulators.
Gen. McMicken's nomination for
the Office of Surveyor General is said
to be the result of deal made by his
son Maurice, lawyer in the Queen
City, whereby it is stipulated in the
bond (these loving brothers, it will be
observed, are always bound by bond,
written or understood) that King
county shall be solid for Wilson, when
needed in the Legislative contest. To
make this combination more effective,
another turn is given to the knob by a
union of interests and forces with that
paragon Of pious profession and old
time Superintendent of Sunday school
services, John B. Allen, to induce him
to lead the moral element of the party
into the corrupt aud sinuous ways
sanctioned by such men as Hanna.
The Judge is of course to have guild
pro quo for this service, and thinks
that the Office of Federal Judge in the
new district will just about fill his am
bition.
So the scheme goes merrily on.
Gen. McMicken has already, the report
goes, been nominated for Surveyor
General; the act creating the new dis
trict is in fair way to become law,
and Son Maurice and Judge Allen are
diligently wiring their community so
as to make the puppets bob up when
they push the button.
1t is said, however, that "The best
laid schemes of mice and men aft gay
aglee." Well see what we shall see.

though such CELEBRITY with which result

remembered that the OrrgoniGn a few

attempted to draw wide distinction
of merit between journal that has
fought its way to the front rank and

simpletons, on inherited wealth. Al

the air seems to be surcharged with
fusion and anything else to advance
the cause of silver and defeat sound
money, there is little doubt but what
these factional forces will join in the
