AN UNFORTUNATE STATEMENT.-An
Oxford professor was giving his pupils
a lecture on Scotland and the Scots. y
"These hardy men," he said, think
nothing about swimming across the
Tay three times every morning before
breakfast"
Suddenly a loud burst of laughter
came from the centre of the hall, and
the professor, amazed at the idea OF
any one daring to interrupt him in the
middle of his lecture, angrily asked tile
offender what he meant by such con-
duct.
IT was just thinking, sir" replied
that Individual, that the poor Scotch
chaps would find themselves on the
wrong side for their clothes when they
landedr"-London Answers.

A PIoUs FRAUD.-A clergyman, taking
occasional duty for a friend in one of
the moorland churches of a remote
part of England, was greatly scandal
lied on observing the old verger, who
had been collecting the offertory, quiet
ly abstract a half crown before pre-
senting the plate at the altar rails.
After service he called the old man
into the vestry and told him, with
emotion, that his crime had been dis
covered.
The verger looked puzzled. Then
sudden light dawned on him.
"Why. sir, you doan't mean that oulo
half crown of mine. Why, Ofve leo
off with he this last Is years!"-Ex.

Ledger, May 1: Major Miller says
that about fifty acres had been planted
in cotton on his places prior to the re-
cent rain, and that 1t will all have to be
planted again. Also about 20 acres
planted in corn will have to be replant-
ed. He is one of the many farmers who
are in this fix, the difference being that
he has plenty Of seed to plant over
with, while many others haven't any.
A good many farmers have already be-
gun planting over and others are try
ing to get seed. Bill Massey, COL

day, and brought to Jail by Sheriff
Hunter for shooting scrape in which

POLITICAL P0T-PIE


Public opinion, as has been said
N another column of this paper, de-
mands the resignation Of Thomas
Humes as mayor of this coty.
Whether the developments and mis-
haps Of the past week can be charg-
ed up personally to Mr.. Humes or
not is question that only the fu-
ture can decide, but they are of such
a nature that it seems to the Pie
maker to warrant the resignation Of
Mr.. Humes, for there is no doubt
that public confidence in the man
has been badly shaken on account
of these developments. It is claim
ed by some who talked personally to
the late W. L. Meredith on the day
that he met his fate that he made no
bones IN saying Mr.. Humes had
made a scapegrace Of him and had
deserted him when he needed him
the worst. 1t is also said that Mere
dith declared that he had stood by
each and every ambition of Mr..
Humes, and now when he needed
his aid he (Humes) had deliberately
thrown him overheard, and the by
stander is Of the opinion that had
Mr.. Meredith been able to see Tom
Humes on that day he would
have used the same violence
against him that he tried to
use against Considine. Whether
there be any truth in this
or not the Pie-maker is not prepared
to say, but he does know that there
are rumors enough flying about the
streets concerning Mr.. Humes' inf
deity to Mr. Meredith and concern
ing Mr.. Humes and the conclusions
Of the LeXow committee to say to

In a nutshell.
The recent bill passed by the leg
islature, which was intended to
patch up the Rands bill was not
signed by Gov. Rogers, but was al
lowed to become a law of itself.
There seems to have been no cause
for the governor remaining silent on
this bill, for it was certainly passed
on his own suggestion, and in his
refusing to sign it he showed that he
was sulking in his tent because the
legislature passed some Of the bills
over his veto. The governor should
not be guilty Of doing spite work.
He is the highest official in the state
and should be free from doing
things hastily and from a get-even
standpoint.

Flaws in the Rand bill were found
before the law took effect and the
flaws were Of such nature that it
was necessary for the governor to call
an extra session Of the legislature to
remedy the law, which thing it was
thought had been done in the repeal
ing of the law, but now some of the
leading and most able lawyers of
the state are declaring that the law
is in worse condition now than it
was before the legislature assembled,
and in its present status it is utterly
impossible for the courts to hang any
one. Even many of the lawmakers
who voted for the repeal Of the Rand
bill are now admitting in public in
terviews in the daily papers, that no

one convicted OF murder IN this
state can be hanged for the crime
under the present law. If this be
true, then the Pie-maker wishes to
say that such legislative carelessness
is most abominable and should be
heartily condemned by every voter Of
this state, regardless Of the party that
is responsible for the blunder. mas
much as but few criminals are ever
hung in this state, it perhaps, after
all, is just as well that there be no
law which says that criminals shall
be hung for murder. Had the legis-
-lature passed law placing men
found guilty of murder in the first
degree in the penitentiary for their
natural lifetime and making it i'm
possible for the governor to pardon
them out, the state would have been
better off than with a law saying
such persons shall be hanged, when
SO few, if any, are ever hung for
murder in its most henious form.
Judging from the final paragraph
of the committees report, the com
mittee still has something up its
sleeve, and though it has made its
report it may take up other work
and before another month will have
past more startling developments
may be brought to light The make
up Of the Lexow committee is from
that class of business men that
probes to the very bottom Of every
thing that savors Of wrong-doing,
and the Pie-Maker fully believes that
the investigation will not be stopped
where it is, but will continue and
lind others connected with the city's
affairs equally as guilty as those re-
ported upon.
The report Of the Lexow commit
tee came as a surprise to the entire
administration. None Of them bel
lieved when it begun its work that
it was anything more than a bluff,
and they never changed their minds
on that point until the committee de-
cided to hold secret sessions and to
protect those testifying before it
from being injured in any way
through any influence that the ad-
might have with their
Men could testify before
the committee, and what they testi-
fed to was kept a secret, and evident
ly there was plenty of men in this
city who knew more about the ad
than they wish publish
ed in the newspapers over their sig
nature.

Seattle is soon to be visited by a
number of the leading members Of
congress who are members of the
river and harbOr committee, with
the view Of looking over the situa-
ton in this state, which will cut
quite figure in the coming appro-
priation for Washington which con-
gress will pass at its next regular ses-
sion. These gentlemen will care
fully look over the Lake Washington
canal and the other water ways that
need government aid, and will make
their reports accordingly to con
gress. Seattle should do all in her
power to make a favorable i'm
preston upon the members Of this
committee, for the rivers and har-
bors in and about the city are sadly
in need of liberal appropriations,
which they will get if putin the
proper light to the members of the
committee while they are visiting
this city.

The politicians Of Ohio got to-
gether last Tuesday and nominated
a state ticket which seems to meet
public approval in every nook and
corner in that state. The opposition
papers declare that it is a Hanna
ticket simply because Mr.. Hanna
did not oppose it; but be it a Hanna
ticket or not, from what can be
learned concerning the ticket of
the Associated Press dispatches, it
promises to be the winning ticket.
