CORONATION
SCENES ARE
IMPRESSIVE

The members of the Kings house
hold witnessed the coronation ceremony
from Marlborough House On the bal
cony overlooking the friary court.
whence the proclamation was read
We're the Duke of Norfolk and other of
f1cers of state. The King was not pres
ent. There was a large assemblage Of
officials and college heralds. Among
those in attendance were General Rob-
,erts and members of his headquarters
staff and other army officers, besides a
great concourse of people from the
commencement to the close, the proc
lamation being greeted by fanfare of
trumpets.
The officials then marched in process
sion from the balcony. through the pal
ace to the Ambassadors Court, where
a number of royal carriages had been
placed by the direction of the King at
the disposal of the Earl Marshal These
took the officials who read the procla-
nation to the city, escorted by de-
tachment of Horse Guards, forming a
picturesque and gorgeous procession.
The contingent from the College of
Arms was composed of three Kings at
arms, four heralds and eight pursuit.
wants. The costumes of the two latter
were gorgeous beyond compare. They
wore tabards, a garment resembling
the costume of Kings depicted on play
ing cards. These tabards were beau
tifully and heavily embroidered with
silk lions, the royal coat of arms and
flowers in bewildering confusion There
was the rouge dragon, the blue man
tie and the maltravers, with all the
armorial bearings of that quaint old
body, the College of Arms, in full and
solemn array.
A blast Of trumpets announced the
progress of the cavalcade as it proceed

But the fellows who were trying to
get out Of the rut Of hard times and

taken seriously on the question.
That was the best ammunition they
had, and they used it for all it was

A genius over in the legislature
has introduced a bill prohibiting the
DETACHMENT of scenery. He probably
imagines that it is vandalism, bar

From reading the editorials and

made at the Loyal Legion banquet
had nothing to do with the insular
cases before the court.
''It is quite apparent that Levi An
keny has reached high-water mark in
his senatorial aspirations" said a
shrewd observer to the Pie-maker a
few days ago. The gentleman re-
ferred to has been with the Ankeny
crowd for four or five years past, and
is was little surprising to hear him
talk as he did. "Ankeny will make
a hard fight for election at the next
senatorial contest" continued the
gentleman referred to, "but he is as
near the goal today as he will ever
get. Ankeny is perfectly helpless
when it comes to politics. He has
always been the victim of misman-
agement. As banker and business
man he is shrewd and capable, but
he seems to lack that quality neces-
sary to judge men in politics. His
first senatorial fight was in the hands
OF George Hebron, B. G. Van Hou-
ten and Frank Musseter, and there
could be but one result. Two years
Eago 1t was even worse, for the had the
cards in his hand with which he
could have won out, but his manager,
Tom Fisk, through his laziness and
stupidity, refused to play them.
Fisk also has another defect, fatal in
politics, of being too smart to be told
anything that he doesn't already
know. No matter how important
piece Of news was taken to Fisk two
years ago in regard to Ankeny's cam
paign, he would stare his informant
in the face almost insolently until he
finished his story, and then pretend
that he had heard the same thing
several days before. His insulting
manner alone cost Mr.. Ankeny'
much valuable assistance and helped
defeat him"
George Piper is Ankeny's best
friend in one respect" continued this
man, 'and that is in the fact that he
is true to his chief. No matter what
the motive, Piper has allied his pol
itical fortunes with those of Mr.. An
keny, and he will stay with him to
the end of time. He is something
more than hired man, for it is con-
coded that he thinks Mr.. Ankeny one
Of the best and ablest men in the
state, and seeks to impress every one
with his earnestness in supporting
the man from Walla Walla. The
chief criticism to make of Piper is
that he is a kid in manner and
method, and impresses most eveary
one who meets him with the that he
is boy instead Of man. But there
is no doubt whatever Of his hearty
and sincere admiration for Levi An
keny, and that fact impresses one SO
forcibly as to almost efface the other.
In this fact lies George Piper's value
to Ankeny, and it is a good asset
when a man is so short on that kind
Of securities as Mr.. Ankeny is in his
political combinations. | have per-
sonal knowledge Of the fact that An
keny is ungrateful, but l can never
be made to believe that he will dis
card George Piper for new friends
that are trying to foist themselves on
him."

The gentleman who spoke this is
not an admirer Of George Piper, and
gives it out flat that he believes the
Republican party in this state would
be better off without having such
men as Piper attempting to control
it. But he does not think that even
such bulldozing politicians as Ben
Grosscup and George Stevenson can
persuade Ankeny to throw Piper
overheard in exchange for the gilt
tering promises they are willing to
hold out to him for the overthrow.
He thinks there is no sincerity in the
/ nthe proposition made by Grosscup
to Ankeny Grosscup, he says, had
become SO self-important and egotis-
teal over his success in the Foster
campaign, and in the railroad fights
OF the last two sessions Of the state
legislature, that he now has an idea
he can dictate to the whole Republi-
can party and everybody in it. Gross
cup does not want Ankeny elected
senator, and is only trying to impose
impossible conditions on him as an
Reuse for not assisting him two years
Ankeny and his friends are begin
ming to see through Grosscup's game,
and indications are that they will be
just as 'Ffoxy" over the negotiation:
as Mr.. Grosscup is.

State Senator Stanton Warburton
has been enrolled as one of Ankeny's
prospective managers for the next
senatorial fight, but this is no sur
prise to those who know him. War
burton is mercurial politician. He
has been somewhat dazed by An

ent state senate, and being political
trimmer of the simon-pure variety,

But how changed was the attitude
Of Mr.. Warburton when Foster land
ed the senatorship! He had led the
Foster people to think all the time
that he was their most devoted fol-
lower and adherent, and certainly no
cringing creature could have better
or more forcibly have illustrated his
desires to be properly understood.
From the moment of his election
every intimation of a desire on the
part of Senator Foster was law and
gospel with Warburton, and he is
constantly trying to curry favor in
that direction. With Warburton it is
a case Of ''The king is dead! Long
live the kingp' but fortunately his
in politics is so well known
that he is no longer Of much force as
a factor in Republican politics in this
state. While he is known today as an
man, he will be sleeping
with one eye open and one ear to the
ground during the next two years,
looking out for signs Of other sena-
torial ambitions.

They figure Warburton at exactly his
true worth. Two years ago Warbur-
ton held himself in readiness to de-
sert Foster at any time, in spite Of
the fact that that he was tied up to
him by positive convention instruc-
tons by the Republicans of Pierce
county. Warburto nwas constantly
running to the Ankeny managers,
and even gave them valuable inside
information during the critical pc
Rod Of the struggle two years ago.
He daily gave assurances that at the
very first opportunity he would leave
Foster and go to Ankeny. He pre-
tended to regret the election Of Eos
ter-that is, when talking to the
Ankeny men, to whom he had given
such elegant encouragement. He
constantly assured the Ankeny peo-
pie that the Foster campaign was on
the point of breaking up. He said
he hoped it would, or something to
that effect. 1t was known about the
headquarters, it is said, that
Warburton stood ready to "come
over" to Ankeny.

One of the interesting characters
of the city council is Tommy NaYin,
of the First. He can make more
speeches in behalf of single tax than
any. other man in the council. He
has some latent ability, but spreads
out so much that his energies are
sometimes wasted. But Tommy is a
much more conservative member
now than when he first entered upon
his duties. He manages to keep in
touch with the saloon and at the
same time he keeps step with the

government. Among the most in
dustrious, interchangeable and effici-
ent workers for Humes was Steve
Meek, of the Sixth ward. Well,
Steve was on the ground early and
late, spending his money and time
for the slate, and when enough votes
were secured to secure the election Of
Humes, the ''boys" began looking for
the interests of their friends. Some
of those who have been on the
ground and knew the intelligent
work got in by Steve went to to
Humes and asked that he be given
the position Of street commissioner.
Judge HumeS then and there gave
his full assent and assured the
friends Of Meek that he should be
given the position at the earliest mo-
ment after his election. Well, he
was elected, and instead Of doing as
he promised he, Of course, gave it to
some new friend who he thought he
could use in the future and then be-

POLITICAL P0T-PIE

Dr. Crichton has been so long in
the council that he is regarded as a
permanent fixture. The doctor is an
earnest worker and the working peo-
pie have absolute confidence in his
loyalty to their just interests. Some
years ago he was regarded with sus-
picion by some Of the business men
on account Of his ''isms," but at pres
ent ne is regarded as a man who can
be depended upon to use his whole
influence for good government and
enforcement of law.

We are opposed to the passage Of

it another scheme to fleece taxpayers
