ical machine, as has the head of the
Seattle government, then it becomes
worse than nothing, and, if such a
state of affairs is to be continued,
then The Republican believes that
the best thing that could be done
would be to repeal the law, but such
a condition need not be continued.
There are men in this city
who will religiously enforce
the civil service law and such
men should be elected to the
head of this municipal govern

Of political trixters and jugglers, who
have used the various positions to
be filled in the city for the purpose
Of furthering their own political in
terests, instead Of for the purpose Of
advancing the city's financial inter
ests. The Piemaker believes that the
citizens are fully aroused to their
sense Of duty on this matter and will
in the future endeavor to elect
mayor that will look out for the
city's interest and not for his own
political preferment.

There is no doubt but that DR..
McKechnie was turned down at the
political instigation Of Mayor
Humes, but that was no reason for
him to strike a blow at DR.. Carroll,
who has done him no real injury. For
months the two physicians have
worked as principal and assistant in
the health department Of this city
without jar or misunderstanding,
and it seems unkind in DR.. McKech-
ME to strike fatal blow at his as
sistant, simply because the wheel of
fortune did not stop in front Of his

city council declared that the cut
ting down Of the salary Of the health
officer and the doing away with the
assistant was an oversight, still the
Piemaker is credibly informed that
Dr. Carroll will have trouble before
he gets the additional $50 salary that
he has been knocked out of and be-
fore any man that he appoints as his
assistant will get any salary at all.

1t is quite true that the editorials
Of The Seattle Republican are man
ufactured at the P.-I., and we assure
the Sun-Democrat that for once it
has not lied in making such a
charge, and that's strange. For the
past four years or more the P.-I's
machines have set up The Republi-
cans matter, hence we are compelled
to admit that our editorials are man
ufactured at the Pr. The editor Of
this paper, however, feels quite COM
pimented, if the Sun-Democrat
wishes the public to understand that
it believes that the editorials in The
Republican are written by the editor
ial writer of the P.-I., for the Pts
editorial writer is one Of the ablest
writer's in the Northwest, and the ed
itor Of The Republican had no idea
that he could even initiate him
enough to make anyone feel unable
to discriminate between the two.

Taking chances on catching the

the one taking the chances lives

A CIcrryman's Discovery.

Fredericksburg, Ind, Dec. 2.-Ac-
cording to the positive declaration OF
Rev. Z. P. Stevens of this place. that
gentleman has found a remedy for al!
diseases of the kidneys and urinary
organs. For years he suffered severely
with these complaints, incontinence OF
the urine, making life burden to him,
but he never ceased experimenting in
the hope that some day he would dis
cover remedy. After many failures
he has at last succeeded and is today
perfectly cured and a well man, and
explains that his recovery is due to the
use of Dodd's Kidney Pills. This rem
edy has been successfully applied to
many cases OF Lame Back, Rheuma-
tism, Bright's Disease, Diabetes and
other Kidney Diseases and there seems
to be no case of the kind that Dodd's
Kidney Pills will not cure. This is the
only remedy that has ever cured

ON . CATTLE INSPECTION.
Sec. Wilson Says State Inspectors
Interfere With the Wor..
WILL ASK SUPREME COURT.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The annual
report of Secretary of Agriculture VIII
son tells of the vast growth of all
branches of the departments work.
An extension of the weather fore
east to farmers through the free rural
delivery is contemplated. Wireless
telegraphy will soon connect the
Tatoosh Island, Wash. weather station
with the mainland Tho secretary
suggests that it might be well for this
country to follow the example of Great
Britain and exclude livestock from
other countries entirely.
The secretary points ont the serious
evil resulting from the system of state
inspection, which, if it became general,
would effectually prevent the market
i. q of live stock in some sections and
would destroy much of the usefulness
of the federal inspection. lie regards
the political conditions as so menacing
the interests of the cattle industry of
the west and southwest that he has
requested the attorney general to CO.
operate in bringing the matter before
the supreme court as to the constitu-
tionality of these state laws. This
request has been favorably received
and the assistance of the department
of justice promised. The secretary as
serts that much loss has resulted to the
cattle industry in the west in recent
years owing to the injudicious manage
ment of ranges. The departments
experiments show that much could be
done, under proper control, to restore
the ranges to their original condition,
and he recommends action by congress,
giving the president authority to Sc
cure for the experimental needs OF his
department such tracts of public range
| cattle us may be necessary.

Washington, Dec. With the re-
etoration of order and open traffic upon
the Isthmus of Panama it is expected
that the navy department will be able
to withdraw some of the United States
warships now on duty in that quarter
and it is probable that one ship will be
withdrawn on either side of the 18TH
mus There will be no haste, however,
in reducing the naval strength, as the
officials feel that the surrender of the
Liberals on the isthmus may not termi-
nate the entire struggle throughout
Colombia.
The country is so extensive and the
signs of unrest at interior points are so
numerous that it is believed that there
may be recurrence OF trouble on the
isthmus if the insurgents at other
points continue to show strength.

PRESIDENT KRUGER LAUGHS.
Ridicuies British. Figures OF Boer. army
and Captures.


The Hague, Nov. 3o.-President
Kruger laughs at the declaration of
the Duke of Devonshire that the first
requirement of the British government
for cessation of the fighting in South
Africa is the unconditional surrender
of the Beers.
Mr.. Kruger and his friends claim that
the war is only beginning. The sta
tistics given by Secretary of War Brod-
erick are amazing, says the Kruger
party. The British, says Mr.. Brodcr-
icl, have captured $4,000 Beers, when
the original British estimate of the
burghers' strength was 10000!
Again the Krugerites want to know
if 10, 900 men THE British estimate of
the present Boer strength could have
kept Kitchener's immense army on the
go over country 900 by 800 miles in
area?
The Afrikander sympathizers in The
Hague are vastly pleased with what
they claim is confusion and doubt ON
the part of the British government.
They look to the future as big With
promise for Bocr success.
