Several wells in town have been I'M
fit for use the past winter ON account
of the surface water; so that it is not
merely matter of looks, but one in
which the health Of the citizens. is
concerned, and is matter that should
receive attention at once.
There is plenty of material at the
south end of Main or First street that
could be spared to grade the lower
end of Main street and the three prin-
cipal cross streets, and right here we
would suggest that street grade
should be struck on the hill, on both
First and Main, and the dirt taken
off. 1t will be done some day, why
not at at once, so that those who have
recently bought lots up there, and in
tend to build, can grade their lots ac-
cording to some system. There will
never be more favorable time than
the present.

STRIKE A GRADE.

We intimated last week something
about the condition of the streets of
our city, as regards mud holes and low
places where water always accumu-
lates and stands for days. We thought
then, and still think that a lot of dirt
and gravel thrown into those places
you'd be of great benefit. 1t will be
impossible to have the town look at
trsctiye as long as the streets are in
the condition they are at present.
Every citizen knows that water can
be found standing in the streets of
Ritzyille after rain storm or chinook
longer than almost anywhere else in the
county, and there can be no question
but what it is unhealthy to have such

THE DELOME INCIDENT.

1t may be perfectly proper for any
American citizen to think anything
about any official of our country, and
it may be perfectly proper for him to
write it, if it is true. But it is not
perfectly proper for an American citi-
zen or any one else to write or say
what is not true. And when charges
are made against an official of any
kind, the first question should be
Are they true? not is the charging
party II proper person? If they
are not true no one has the right to
say they are. If they are true, every
one has the right, and it is perfectly
proper for everyone to say they are.
Such expressions particularly are
not confined to Americans at all, but
every one who loves the truth and
loves to tell it. That the king can do
no wrong is an accepted and universal
law. The state can do no wrong,
the Office can do no wrong, but the
officer can. If DeLome had written
The office of the president of the
United States is weak and caterin G
to the rabbie" or "a low politician
who desires to stand well with his
party" his words would have been false
upon their face and citizens of the
United States would have had some-
thing to tear their hair about. But
DeLome wrote his friend just what
hundreds of Americans who disagree
with the administration have written
their friends, that president McKin-
ley is low politician, etc. which
proves nothing on its face. 1t might
have been true, or it might not. 1t is
an open question, and one party had
as good a right to say so as the other,
and no better.
We contend that it is funny; yes, it is
silly for papers who have had nothing
but abuse and inuendo and revilings
for Mckinley and his party and have
said worse things about him than
DeLome ever thought of, to all at
once work up so much wrath, and
spirit. and sense of dignity, that they
want to tear their shirt because a
Spaniard said amen to what they
have been preaching to their readers
for years.

RITZVILLE, FEBRUARY, %, 1898
IN REGARD TO THE "rIAINE"

The latest advices in regard to the
destruction of the battleship, Maine,
seems to indicate that the undercur-
rent of official opinion is to the effect
that it is more than likely that the
explosion was by design, not accident.
The heads of the department seem to
be 10th to give out any information
they are possessed of, preferring to
wait until a full and complete investi-
CATION has been made.
1t seems from the reports, as given
by the daily papers the last two days,
that strong suspicion of treachery is
being aroused as the investigation goes
on; and while the chief officers of the
navy sturdily disclaim that there is
any apparent danger of rupture in the
peaceful relations existing between
the United States and the Spanish
nation, it is fact that unusual and
extraordinary vigilance is the order
in every American port today, and
in the case of the harbor of San Fran
cisco that though the necessity for
putting the batteries there in better
shape to resist possible foe was rec
commended six months ago, the COM
mandant was not officially notified
till the day after the Maine blew up,
and that the order came by telegraph
and that nothing slower than telegraph
was used by that official in commune
eating with his subordinates. 1t may
be that nothing will come of all this
half concealed preparation for hostili-
ties, but great deal depends on the
verdict of the committee of investiga-
ton. The American people have been
half aroused for some time, their SYM
pathies have been with Cuba all
through the islands trouble. They
have longed for an opportunity to
take up Cuba's fight and if the suspic-
ions indicated the last few days are
confirmed, Spain will have to do some
OF the prettiest apoligizing she ever
heard of, or be one of the worst whip.
ped nations Of which history makes
any record.
Adams County news. [volume] (Ritzville, Wash.) 1898-1906, 1898-02-23

One of the results Of the destruction
of the Maine will probably be Cuba g
independence. 1t is to be hoped so at
any rate. But it would have suited
us better If Sigsbee had taken some
old thing that would have held to-
gether long enough for him to have
shown the Spanish Tyee that he
wasn't bluffing; and if it was necessary
to kill anybody to have put in the
time killing Spaniards.

HOW CANDIDATES ARE PATCHED

When the spring days come and the
south side of the grocery store and
livery stable and such like are just
about warm enough for the men who
have nothing else to do but sit and
chew tobacco and white, it is then
that the candidates for the various
county and precinct Offices begin to
hatch 1t is done in this way:
John Jones and Tom Smith have
been talking for some time. They
have traded jack knives and came near
swapping horses that day. They have
talked over every subject they know
anything about, and some that they
knew nothing about. They have be-
come fidgety. Its coming!
Tom says: 81 wonder who will be the
next county auditor ?"
John says: "Couldn't say; haven't
heard a word about it,"
Tom says: "Jones, you ought to
run; you'd make bully auditor"
John says: "O' thunder; couldn't
think of it,"
Tom says: "Why?''
John says: "Oh, don't know, but
l don't want any Office. OF course, if
l was going to run for anything, why,
l would of course-well l; but don't
want anything this time, maybe next"
Tom says: "You might just as
we'll run as not. You can be elected.
1 would be willing to bet $3.50; and
you have been talked of too
John says: "That so p
Tom says: eyes"
John says: "Who?'
Tom says: Several"
John says: "Dog my cats. Say,
Tom, why don't you run for auditor
yourself ?"
Tom says: "Great Caesar me ?"
John says: "Why, you would be all
right, and your part of the county
ought to be represented this year.
You're entitled to it,"
Tom says: "No, don't want the
office; wouldn't have an Office; don't
want to mix up with politics at all.
There is only one Office in the world l
would have, and l wouldn't have that"
John says: "What's that, treas
urer ?"
Tom says: "No, but I've thought a
few times l would just like to be
sheriff of this county about fifteen
minutes, I'd show"
John says: "By gosh, Tom, that's
it; why didn't l think of that before.
Tom, you're natural born sheriff.
You've got to rum
Tom says: "Oh, was just saying"
John says: ayes, know you're
not looking for no Office no more than
l am, but, say, there has been some
talk about your running already"
Tom says: "Who was talking about
itP
John says: ~ don't just remember
now, but-well it don't matter-you'll
run. Say Tom, who spoke about me
for auditor ?"
Tom says: "Oh, some fellows up
town."
John says: swell, Tom, there has
been several of our leading citizens
talking to me about it, and darn my
buttons if / don't have notion to try
it. You'll try it for sheriff ~
Tom says: "Well, Jones, the fact
is have stood the boys off on this
proposition as long as l can, guess.
They seem to be bound that I make
the race, so guess will. will do
everything can for you for auditor,
Jones'"
John says: "And I'll use all the
influence I've got to fix the primaries
for you, Tom"
And that was how they Matched.
