A statesman in the truest and
broadcast sense Of the word has the
United States government lost i
the death of Hon. Cushman X Da
Wis, of Minnesota. His wise and able
counsel in our national legislative
halls will be most aggravatingly
missed during the coming five years
through which period he so piteous-
Nv PRAYED to live. In America we
have learned to say, ''the services Of
no man are indispensable" which,
for the most part, is quite correct;
and while there are others that will
take Senator Davis place, still the
nation in its present international
troubles needs men of long public
experience and men who have prov
en- themselves capable and qualified
to cope with the diplomats of any
nation or land. Cushman K. Davis
was one of the men equal to such ar
emergency, hence he will be sorely
missed, though another with equa
qualifications take his place.

his chief deputy the Hon. J. L. Muir
ray, Of Island county, No man il

Murray in state land business. HI,

1897, and since that time has been
respectively county auditor and
county treasurer of Island county
and filled both offices with ability
and credit to himself and his constit-
uents. He refused a denomination

Endorsed for the place in Mr.. Cal

Speaking of Humes' partisan inf
deity, a gentleman who heard him
speak at Colfax during the late cam
paign, said it was painful to hea1
how Mr.. Humes struggled to keer
from saying one word in defense OF
the Republican party while making
his speech. The time was divided
between Charles G. Heifner and
Humes, as a joint discussion was ar
ranged for, and although Heifner
scored the Republican party, and
especially the state nominees with
all the venom that is in the man, and
that is saying a good deal, Humes
followed him, with an hour and a
half speech, and during the entire
time, he did not make one single de-
Tense or utter one single word in be-
half of the state Republican candi-
dates. Upon being questioned al
the time as to why he did not cham
pion the Republican nominees
cause, it is said that he gruffiy re-
marked, because | was done up in
the last Republican convention, and
should have been the nominee for
governor instead Of Frink. I, there
fore, have nothing for which to
thank or praise the Republican
party" Not only at Colfax was this
true, but, it is claimed, that at no
point where Humes used the cam
paingn committees money to 90 out
and speak did he champion the local
ticket or defend the attacks madr
upon the Republican candidates
while making such speeches. This
IN itself is sufficient to Justify the
assertion that he had determined on
leaving the party, bag and breeches,
at an early date, and now that he
has taken the Democratic organ as a
mouthpiece, the fact can no longer
be denied by either him or his
friends.

The Republican state oficers-elect
are now looking over their respective
fields Of labor for the next four
years, and are acquainting them
selves with the methods of conduct
ing the various offices to which they
have been elected. Hon. W. B.
Stratton, attorney general-elect, has
named G. c. Dalton, the noted Pa
cifc county attorney, as his chief
deputy, and Mr.. Dalton is now in
Seattle preparatory to making it his
headquarters after January 18th
next. Mr.. Dalton was for four years
prosecuting attorney Of Pacific coun-
ty, and in that capacity made a most
enviable record. He is said to be
one Of Washington's brightest
brainiest, as well as most profound
lawyers, and he will be quite an ac-
QUESTION to the legal fraternity Of
this city.

With that daredevil braggadocio
so characteristic of Tom Humes he
rises to remark in the Demo-Pop
evening paper that he has been elect
ed mayor of this city, and elected by
the Republicans, and he made no
bones in stating that he was going to
run the city on a wide-open policy
when he was a candidate. The chief
argument of Tom Humes from time
to time has always been vituperative
sarcasm, and believing this an OPP
perfume time to make another such
a ruse as that, he Kisses at the Re
publican party, "You knew | was
going to do it; why did you elect
me-? If there be one thing for
which Tom Humes is famous more
than all others it is base political in
gratitude. No man who has ever ar
IDENTIFY supported Humes for office
but who was subsequently dOwned
by Humes, and always as soon as he
succeeded in getting the office which
he sought. The Republican party
has given Humes an office ever since
be has been in the county, which has
been fifteen or more years, and now
that he has grown fat in Republican
offices, like the political migrate that
he is, turns. on the party that has
given him all these good things and
de ounces it for having given them
- him. In last weeks Republican,
the Pie-maker said that there was a
probability that Humes would be a
candidate on the fusion ticket for
re-elee ion to the mayoralty for this
city the next municipal election,
an is letter in the Times last Fri
day would seem to verify that very
statement, and he can, therefore.
from now on be classed as a fusion
protege rather than a Republican Of
ficeholder.

HAS NO POLITICAL PULL.

The Seattle Republican is trying
to. read this paper out of the Repub-
lican party. To The Republican we
will say this paper does not rely on
its ''political pulp for an existence.
Can The Republican truthfully say
as much? It is a well-known fact
that The Republican is the mouth
piece Of Wilson and his henchmen,
and in its columns they vent their
spleen against every one who is for
clean politics and true Republican
principles. No respectable paper
would permit its columns to be used
for such despicable purposes. Re-
form, Cayton, reform! and don't
sow any more discord in the Repub-
lican ranks-Auburn Argus.

A FAKE INVENTION,
An Absurd ContrIvance Which Made Two
WORTHLESS Rich.

An Absurd Contrivance Which Made Two
WORTHLESS Rich.
There are a great many worthless
inventions out of which money has
been made, but it will usually be
found that it was not the invention,
but the shrewd business ability and
advertising back Of it which made the
money. y group of business men
were discussing this subject in a cigar
store in Washington one day and one
of them insisted that no invention,
without absolute merit of some kind.
would ever pay. Another, noted for
his skill in advertising, contended
that the most absurd thing, il properly
pushed, would be n money maker and
he offered to bet that if he had $40. 900
capital he could take an absolutely
worthless invention and make a for
tune out of it if it was a thing tina.
could be advertised in q catchy way.
The business man agreed to find the
capital If the other could produce tho
invention that would fit the PROPOSE.
ton. In q few days he got out a
model and applied for q patent. 1t
was simply small cylinder with a
string tied 10 1t and he proposed TO
pretend that if the cylinder were
soaked IN basin OF water and the
string tied round a persons wrist or
ankle that some mysterious electrical
currents would lmpart new life and
energy and cure all manner OF dis
eases.
The absuriity OF the whole thing,
especially the preteuce that string,
and not q wire would convey electrical
currents, compelled the mau OF capt.
tai to withdraw bis offer, even Mt the
expense OF losing his bet, but the al
yertlser insisted that it was part oil
the bargain that the invention was to
be unquestionably worthless and after
talking it over for two or three days
he finally prevailed on the capitalist
TO 90 into it. The $4,000 was i'm
mediatc!y drawn upon for advertising
and testimonials were Obtained in the
usual way from people whose credullty
was even greater than their promi.
hence aud long before the capital was
used up the profits began TO pour in.
These two worthless made 50 much
money ont OF their alleged invention
that they quarreIlel about it and sep
arated, although both made enough
to be Independent for life.

We think, but the former are mortal

There is q kind Of knowledge from

which involves certain duties and re-

Courteousness, courage and conf

Love is the wondrous angel Of life
that rolls away all the stones of sor-
row and suffering from the pathway

peace but the triumph OF principle
