The following communication from
Mr.. d. II. Harrison, President of the
Bryan Silver Club and secretary OF the
Democratic County Central Commit
tee speaks for ITSELF
editor News:ss-l see by the Spa-
kane Chronicle that number of the
friends of Geo. Belt, Il member of the
law firm of Quinn, Belt & Jones,
held Star Chamber proceedings the
other evening to advance Belts claims
as democrat and lawyer to a position
upon the supreme bench.
81 am of the opinion that Spokane
has the lesson to learn that the Demo-
Gratis in convention assembled taught
King county, so effectively four years
ago at North Yakima. Previous to,
and at that convention Seattle propos-
ed to dictate the slate of the entire
state. She had IL candidate for each
and every Office within the gift of the
people and she came nearly accomp-
fishing all of he, purpose of 'hogging'
everything in sight. The result was,
the outside delegates revolted. There
was nothing Seattle wanted that she
got, and the proceedings of the entire
convention were had with special ref
erence to setting down good and hard
upon the Seattle delegation.
Spokane politicians may well learn
lesson from this. She has now two
senators, one congressman the attorney
general and tic chairman of the state
executive committee, and now, with
consummate gall, they are advocating
for place on the supreme bench a
lawyer entirely unknown outside of
his own town, and unknown there ex-
cept as a member of the. legal firm
above mentioned. They call him
Judge He never was Judge. He
did fill the Office of district attorney
in Oregon one term, but was beaten at
the polls for the second.
"N0w, Mr.. Editor, if fusion means
anything it means fair play along the
entire line. Spokane has all, and
more than all, that she is entitled to
i'll the shape of the state offices, but il
we must have another Spokanite tc
fill the honorable position of supreme
justice, for goodness sake give us some
lawyer like Richardson or Prathel
that the people know. But this
position belongs west of the noun
tains, and ii we are to have fusion and
are to keep the offices from our friends
the enemy-we must be fair in
their distribution. We must select
men for their worth, not for the pur.
pose of providing a soft billet fol
some unknown political hack keeping
in view our motto, The Office seeks
the 'man,'
personally, I am opposed to Spo
kane hogging any more offices for the
present. ID. HI. HARRISON,

sEsErsEFFs CORNER.

1t is possible that we are the only
editor in the state who is also ut the
same time sheriff of his county. But
whether it is fact or not makes no
particular diff e in regard to what
we are going to We have IA very
warm spot undes If vest for our
brethren of the h. cuff fraternity.
We have met severaI he sheriffs of
eastern Washington, l. had more
or less correspondence those of
the west side, and believe-them all to
be a set of jolly good fellows, and we
claim to be pretty decent sort of
person ourself. Therefore we propose
to devote, convey, give and set over IL
column OF two in this paper to the ex-
cluseive use and benefit of the several
sheriffs of the state, if they have any
use for them. We invite you to use
these columns, gentlemen. If any
sheriff or deputy sheriff in all the
state of Washington has anything to
offer for publication over his own sig
nature whether it be simply to express
his opinion on some matter that he
considers important, or to make in
quiry of some one of the fraternity in
Guiding ourself in in regard to people
or property lost, strayed, stolen, or
wanted, whether in the form of notice
description, letter or communication
send it along and we VIZ take pleas
ure in giving it place in this paper.
We shall send the paper to every
sheriff's Office in Washington while we
remain in Office, which, will he about
one year, unless circumstances over
which we will have no control should
get us out before that time.
Come right along. The paper and
the space are as free as-as-C. C.Demp-
sey's cigars and any of you who have
been to Spokane know how it is.
Help yourselves.

LET US HEAR FROM YOU.

Tie columns of this paper are, open
to any reasonable degree for the use
of the people. We shall however dis
courage lengthy political or religious
controversies. Although we will be
pleased at any time to accord space
for brief discussion even of these
questions, yet, generally speaking
we should prefer something of more
importance. Understand us, by the
above we mean that when a subject
political or religious is in controversy,
it is then generally partisan or sectar-
ian, and while we believe that there
is nothing of more Importance than
religion and politics we believe there
is nothing of less benefit to the peo-
pie than craftsmanship or sectarianism.
There are many subjects however that
may be used with profit. Questions
may he asked and answered by the
people or statements or views given.
Matters relating to the farm, the
household, the mechanic, the teacher,
the scholar, the preacher, the congre-
CATION, the doctor, the patient, the
lawyer, the client, the editor, the devil,
etc, etc, and while we shall always
be glad to give space in any reason
able amount for any proper question,
answer or statement, we reserve, at
all times the right" ''ess MON the
fitness of the matter a.. TOY. >; or
quantity, for publication. We do not
mean by this that it is essential that
every line must be Il paragon of liter
AIRY excellence entirely exempt from
the possibility of criticism by the
learned literary critics who might
chance to read it, oh, no, it don't mat
ter much to us about that kind of
style. If you are Il wonderful gram
marian, and wayup on spelling it is all
right, but if you are not these things it is
no difference so that horse sense and
morality pervade your writings.
What we mean is that you will not
be permitted to use the paper to work
off large cusswords and inuendo and
Mt your spleen, and make fool of
,arself generally even though you
an do so il good language, aad that

THAT COLFAX LYNCHING.

We beg pardon if we appear to be
digging up an old matter but we feel
like we have little to say on the sub
ject, and as we could not very well
talk before we were born we hasten to
improve the first opportunity we have
to unburtlen our mind on this lynch
ing business. .... 20. ..
1t seemed at first that the press in
this part of the state was inclined to
divide the blame, for the killing of
Marshall, about equal between the 81
masked men and the sheriff. office, but
lately it seems that the latter is to
come in for the lions share of the
blame. We do not, however, wish to
become popular by embracing the pop
ular idea when our better judgment
tells us it is a mistaken one. Our opin-
ion is that the sheriff did the best
he could under the circumstances, to
say what in our opinion those circum-
stances were, and to endeavor to say
something that might prevent re-
currence of the same is the principal
object of this article.
1t is no use to fume about what the
sheriff or his deputies did or did not
do at that time. The thing is over.
All the talk and all the writing in the
world cannot bring the victim to life
and will not bring the perpetrators to
even trial. We do not even know
that we care that either should hap
pen. We are not particularly in favor
of mob violence, but we believe the
best time to try a mob is just before
the violence happens; but in order to
do this successfully the officers must
have the sympathy and support OF the
lawabiding element of his county.
What were the conditions at Colfax?
We can distinctly remember of being
in that city but a few days prior to
the lynching of Chadwick Marshall
and we can also very well remember
some of the conversation heard while
there in reference to a probable lynch
ing, and we gathered from what We
heard that the people of Colfax ex-
pected that something OF the kind was
more then likely to occur, And when
we suggested that the Sheriff might
make serious objection 10 the scheme
the answer was, "Siins i

RITZvILLE, FEBRUARY, 2, 1898.
SALUTNRY,

We do not care to use much space
In telling what we expect to do. We
believe the better way is toNo II; hut
people have a right to know, and it is
our duty at the very start to outline to
come extent the policy we expect to
pursue in the management of this
paper. We shall endeavor to make
the News truthful chronicler of all
the news of any Importance, which has
Its foundation on fact, that it is posi-
HE for us to gather. Il will be our
ambition to inspire in our readers, con-
fidence in what we write as purported
facts, and it is our most sincere desire
to conduct this paper in manner so
that whatever criticisms may be made,
unreliability will not be one of them.
In matters of opinion we are as liable
to be mistaken as anyone else. We
will, however, write our own editorials,
which will be intended for the good
of the community in general, but will
only be our opinions after all, and may
be wrong as often as they are right.
1t is not our intention to make this
partisan paper, and it is not owned
or controlled by any political party,
and any illusions made to the doings
of any party will be made simply and
purely as a matter of news. We shall
never, while we pretend to run an
independent newspaper in this county,
print anything for the purpose
of slurring any political party, for we
expect to number among our patrons
scores of honest, conscientious and
patriotic american citizens of every
political faith, and we would hate to
think we could he mean enough to
take advantage of our position to in
suit anyone by casting any reflection
on the party they belong to for the
purpose of helping another party. We
shall not permit any correspondence
rejecting on political party to APP
pear in the News unless signed by the
writer. We believe that there are
many other matters of general interest
which we can all profit by, to be
discussed in county paper; and we
further believe that the time has
arrived when the county needs more
newspaper service than it has had in
the past. We think we can supply
this need. We invite your patronage
and will try our best to satisfy you.
