An Extravagant Administration.

There is one thing that must be
apparent to every citizen OF this State
who uses his brains for solution OF
economic problems, and that Is that
the so called Fusionists left the State
in much better financial condition
than il nov is with only one-half the
record made.
Notwithstanding the more than
liberal appropriation Of the last Legis.
lature. DEFICIENCIES are in evidence now
with more than year to provide for,
and as the law forbids mourning State
debts, there is the profoundest anxiety
existing in the State offices as to
means for bridging over the time till
another grasp may be made for the
strings. Few of these smart
men vested with a "little brief AL.
thority" will admit that they have
been burning the candle at both ends.
The result of the extravaganza OF
the present State administration is al
ready apparent in the largely in.
creased estimates for the revenue to
meet expenditures Of the next year.
This has led to an increase OF the tax.
ratio levied to meet them, and the
aggregate in nearly all the counties
has caused the eyes of tho taxpayer
to fairly burn with horror. The az.

cred by success, demand. with AFRO.

levy which had already been collected
of the farmer, the tradesman, and the
mechanic.
Tho alacrity with which the Com
mlssioners refuse and the courts de-
cline to reduce exorbitant assessments,
ofcommon people, and the cheerful.
ness with which the Treasurer and
Sheriff set in motion the machinery
by which the property owner may be
Invested OF title to his worldly posses
sions, is about as notable contrast
with the preference accorded to cor.
porations, as it is possible to present.
It is . grievous misfortune that
taxes should increase with high tariff
and trust prices on everything the
poor man eats, drinks, or wears, and
the signal failure of organized labor to
secure a corresponding advance in the
wage-rate. When will labor learn that
the only remedy is in the selection Of
honest men at the ballot.box to purify
the stream of politics from the foun-
tain-head?
The remedy will never come in any
other way. The power Of organized
capital has become too firmly en-
throned to be deposed by the ephe-
neral organizations that are not
backed by money. Capital can simply
put his hands in his pockets and
loiter about while Labor starves. But

The man with sure sign concerning
the winter is with us once more, and
numerously. The goosebone, the corn.
shuck, tho squirrel, the chipmunk and
other signs and wonders are cited to
prove that it il going to be q severe
winter, and the same signs and wonders
are cited to prove that it will be a mild
winter. Every man has sure method
of predicting what the winter will
be, and no matter how often or how far
he may miss it. he comes up smiling
every year with his faith in his signs
mistaken. Last summer was . record
breaker in point of prolonged heat, and
some wiseacres pretend to see in this a
sure sign that the winter will be I'M
usually mild. Other wiseacres insist
that 1t p0rtends q severe winter. But
the wind bl0weth where it listeth. No
man knows what kind of q winter we
are to have. But it is safe to act on the
superstition that it will be cold and get
the heating stoves and furnaces into
working order. The man who puts his
dependence in goosebones and corn.
shucks is. not wise.-Lincoln C0mmoner.
And these wiseacres can all give
reason for their faith in signs, al.
though Faith has ever maintained 9
sublime independence of Reason,
when their paths divide. The writer

TO show his own army as well as the

Death Of Postmaster Sperry.

Loren Eldridge Sperry died at Spo-
kane Wednesday, January %, of tuber-
culosis of the throat, complicated with
diabetes. The body will be brought to
this city and the funeral services will
probably be held from St. Michael :
Episcopal church Friday afternoon.
Mr.. Sperry went to Spokane few
months ago to be under the care Of a
noted specialist in throat diseases. His
condition seemed to improve for time,
but recently he has been failing rapidly
and died at 6 o'clock on Wednesday,
The deceased was born at Knoxville,
Iowa, where he learned the printers
trade, and came to North Yakima at an
early day and became foreman on the
Republic, then published by the late G.
NJ. IIolton. He conducted the Republic
during Mr.. Holton's absence abroad,
and later on, in connection with W. II.
James, purchased the paper, which he
continued to run until appointed post
master of this city, when it was sold to
w. w. Robertson About five years ago
Mr.. Sperry was married to Miss Mamie
Thompson, most accomplished young
lady and social favorite. Two children
were the result of this marriage, the
second one, Il boy OF six months, sur
wing
Mr.. Sperry had many friends and ad-
mirers, and his death is a source Of ex-
IRENE regret and sorrow in this COM
munity.
