The money market failed TO show an
easier tone to-day, and the January
boom in the price OF stocks, which some
people had expected to begin immedi.
ately, failed to arrive on this. the first
business day Of the new year. On the
contrary, there was quite q furry in
the money market before the day pass
ed, and the calling Of loans precIpitated
something very like q squeeze. The
rate for call money ran up 10 G per cent.
and loans were placed at that amount,
though offerings were made later at 2A
per cent. There was no actual loan re-
ported during the day, however. at less
than 2h per cent. 1t is difficult to saw
how far the low rates at he close NAV
have been manipulated. Certainly the
stock market all day did NOT show, cvi-

Medical Autiiori,tes Claim that Failurs 10
Marry Is the Cause OF aine-tsnihs Of tho
Madness Ia the World To-day.
New York World: Cupid has Just
found a strong champion In the person
OF Or. Edw,rrd b. roo,e, OF this city.
DR.. Foote is n weli.rccosntzcd author
ity on physiology. hip wo:ks on that
subject being found III every laigc u
brary in the United States. This ply
siclan gives facts and figures to show
that 90 per cent. OF the inmates OF our
Insane asylums would not be ther@ to-
day II they had been married at all or
II thei, parents had been married at the
proper time.
DR.. Foo,c thinks that q law should be
pissed making 1t compulsory for all
young people to marry between tho ages
OF nineteen and twonty-flv although
lin special coses he would extend the
limit to thirty years OF age.
He thinks that such u law is as much
to the general interest as a law against
murder.
The notion that marriage Is n cure
for insanity or u sutc preventive Is q
! decidedly novel one In America to-day.
i SO many Jokes have been published at
]. the expense OF the married man with q
housetul OF babies and a mo;her.in-law.
and his consequent disposition to be-
como insane, that matrimony has come
to be looked upon rs anything but de-
sirablc among many classes of society.
But DR.. Footc cones forward in the
face OF this belief and announces that
figures, complied with great care, show
that the single nan llao six times as
much prospect OF becoming insane as
the married mar when the natural ON
nitions OF both are alike.
Those are the figures for America.
The facts az noted in other countries
bear out the theory.
Speaking OF his views on the des!ra-
hllity OF every young man being COM
PEELED to marry, DR.. Foote said to a
Sunday World reporter:
I'VE have no means Of getting at the
"su,es On "s""i's ~ cue o't'eu

SPERRY FOR SHERIFF.

Tom Plat Sperry is more than happy
these days. Primaries and convention
all in one week are enough to fill him
with delight. especially as he has the
whip row and is succeeding very nicely
10 shaping matters to suit himself.
None can deny his power in the councils
of the Z. o. p, and directly and indirectly
he manages to lead men who are really
entitled to far more consideration than
himself in the party's councils.
I For instance: A short time ago his
paper announced that H. L. Tucker
would stand for the nomination OF sheriff
Mr.. Tucker declared he would do moth.
Ing of the kind, and was wrathy at
Sperry for his part in the matter. New
ertheless he has finally consented to the
plan, and - Sperry did it. Many q
man who would vote for Tucker gladly
for fuckers sake would vote against him
on the present occasion for Sperry's sake.
We have Mr.. Sperry for postmaster now.
end We don't want him for sheriff, even
with 80 good man as Mr.. Tucker to
represent him.

Comparatively few people are aware
that at the coming election vote will be
taken on the question of woman suffrage
The last legislature decided to submit
such an amendment, to the constitution,
and it will be voted upon at the election
next November. No politics is entering
into this question, and this is emnently
proper 1t is not political issue, but
merely question as to whether the lords
of creation will consent to divide their
power with the hands that are said to
rule the world because they rock the
cradle. II the ladies want The ballot, we
see no good reason why they should not
have it. Why not make arrangements
to have the ladies take a vote to show
concusively how many OF themselves are
for and how many against it.

When Johnnie comes marching home
again, and all OF the other boys in Com
pany f with hiD, the citizens of North
Yakima will turn out to do them honor
to man. They have been denied the
pleasure of taking part in actual combat,
and there might be tendency to belittle
their record on that account, but this
must not be permitted under any circum-
stances. The boys volunteered at time
when everything pointed to service in
Cuba, but they went into the undertak-
ing like men and have behaved like men
through it ell. They have suffered the
tedium Of army life with none of it's ex-
elements to break the monotony, and it
may be truly said they have been placed
in much more trying position than
many who went to the trent. When they
are mustered out they will be veterans
OF the Spanish American war, a fact OF
which they may we'll be proud, and when

THE LEGISLATIVE NOMINEE.

That the fusion party had plenty Of
first-class legislative timber was shown
clearly at the joint convention Of last
Saturday evening. A glance at the
names Of those nominated brings out the
fact that good men we're available. The
nomination Of Mr.. F. H. Colby for rep
resentatiye will be received with pleasure
by the larger portion Of the voters OF
Yakima county.
Mr.. Colby was born in Hopkintown,
New Hampshire. His early education
was received 10 the public schools Of that
place, after which he entered the New
Hampshire college Of agriculture and
arts, graduating from the latter at the
head Of his class 10 '89. In 1890 Mr..
Colby came to Washington, entering the
employ OF the Northern Pacific Rail way
company as member OF the survey and
construction department Of the line from
Olympia to Ocosts. In 1892 he came to
Yakima county, where he located on
land now under the Sunnyside canal and
where he has lived the greater portion oil
his time since. At present he is the head
attendant on one OF the wards Of the
western Washington insane asylum.
Mr.. Colby, while young man, is new.
ertheless one Of mature judgment, logical
and unassuming, and possessed with the
rivht notifications IN mako an ideal rom
resentstive. Upto-date in the work OF
reform, thorough in what he undertakes
to do, q speaker of considerable ability,
he cannot fail to convince those who will
doubtless hear him during the coming
campaign that no mistake will be made
in sending him to Olympia to continue
in the good work 80 substantially COM
menced there two years ago.

will be not only the demand for the re-
monetization of silver, but other reforms
that long suffering and patient people
are requiring. That fusion will be &C.
complished is a conceded fact. That
James Hamilton Lewis and w. G. Jones
will receive denomination for congress is
also evidenced by the grand and COM
phmentarv way in which they have been
received by the different bodies upon
their appearance in the convention. That
the whole proceedings will be a success
is foregone conclusion that has been
reached by every member of the three
great parties there assembled.

THE TICKET.

A iull report OF the doings of the con-
yentions 10 given elsewhere In this issue.
The gathering was an eye-opener to our
friends, the enemv. who saw in it's splen-
did harmony the failure OF their last and
only hope that discord among the fusion
lists would give them some slight chance
of partial success. This slight chance is
totally destroyed by the cordial union OF
all the reform forces in the present county
fight.
The ticket put forward is strong. 1t
WAS made up not to suit any boss or ma
chine, but to serve the interests of the
people, and is composed OF men whose
characters and official records are I'M
assailable.
Jack Shaw has made the best sheriff
Yakima county ever had. He was strong
two years ago, when he beat the best man
the enemy had, and he is stronger to-
day than ever. He has been tried and
proved true. Western born and bred,
one OF the pioneers of Yakima county,
though still young man, a man of
honor, grit and good horse sense is Jack
Shaw, and the people know it. He will
be our next sheriff.
We wish it were possible to hold up
the county treasurer's books and show
them to every man in Yakima county for
inspection. Their silent witness would
be loud in praise for Charles Donovan,
the present deputy treasurer, and our
candidate for that Office for the next term.
He is we'll known by every taxpayer in
the county. He has proved himself not
only efficient, but psinstaking and de-
voted to his work, which has made for
him hundreds OF friends who are staying
right by him ON the present occasion
He will be our next treasurer.
A. b. Flint quit farming two years ago
and went to keeping the county's books
as auditor, and any person who has done
business in his office will say he has
made an ideal official. He opens his
office an hour or so ahead of time in the
morning, keeps it open all through the
noon hour, and is often there after quit
tingstime in the evening, thus giving good
measure pressed down and running over.
The economical management OF his Office
has saved to the county the amount of
bis salary. He VIII be our next auditor.
Jimmy Coe nee0s no word of praise at
our hand. The people know him as web
As we do. He served three terms as city
clerk, each successive election giving him
IN increased vote over the former and |
showing the strong sentimens in his
avor. His friends increased in number
when he ran for county clerk two years
ago and placed him in that position with
a magnificent majority, and they have
been increasing ever since. Jim Coe is y /
winner. He will be our next clerk.
F. II. Plumb has proved himself the
right man in the right place. and friend
and foe alike admit his peculiar fitness
for the office of superintendent which he
has filled during the past two years.
Educators throughout the county know
and appreciate his service and realize
that the interests Of the boys and girls
are safe in his hands. He will be our
next county superintendent.
Vestal Snyder's conduct OF his office
for the past two years is his best recon-
mendation. He has managed spch
