POLITICAL POT-PIE
eee:Fee Observation-Disclosures

President McKinley's first admins
tration, he will seriously cripple the
Republican party in this state; in
fact, he will assure the reelection Of
that chief demagogue, George Tur-
lner, and this would be a greater dis
grace to the state that the election OF
of Sockless Simpson, should he hap
pen to drift into this state before
that time. A grain Of precaution
along this line, Senator Foster, will
save the Republican party much
chagrin and disgrace in the future,
which chagrin and disgrace, if ii
does come, will be the direct result
of your Ben Grascup policy.

Senator Wilson evidently learned
from sad experience what it is to
handle federal patronage, as that
phase of the political situation has
defeated more candidates for the
United States Senate for reelection
than anything else. No man in the
state of Washington stood fairer be-
fore the people than did John L.
Wilson before he had the sole distri-
button Of the federal patronage of
this state in his hands, and there is
no denying the fact that it defeated
him for reelection. This same DO
lltlcal breaker is already looming up
IN the distance ahead of Senator
Fosters political ambitions, and ii
will 60 to pieces on it, mark these
words. Had the plan which was
proposed some time ago by Senator
Foster been carried out, to allow the
county central committee to recon-
mend the various positions for that
county, it would have relieved Sena-
tor Foster of good many political
embarrassments and added much to
the prospects Of his reelection.

The city council took Judge
George wholly by surprise at the
meeting last Tuesday evening, when
it failed to pass an appropriation
bill which would entitle the Judge to
his usual 800 salary. While the
members Of the city council viii not
disucss the matter to any great ex-
tent, yet from what they do say it
is plain to be seen that they intend

The city council did another
thing that it intimated some time
ago it would do, when it discontin-
+ued the service of the assistant
health officer. When Dr. Carroll
went into the office this position was
not only discontinued, but the sal
ary of the health officer himself was
reduced to $50 per month. This,
lit was claimed at the time, was an
oversight or a mistake which was
caused by the vindictiveness Of Dr.
McKechnie, but it now tranSpires
that it was neither of these, but the
direct intention of the city council
to do away with the assistant health
officer and likewise to cut the salary
Of the health officer himself For
some reason unknown to the general
pbulic the city council has begun a
retrenchment in financial affairs,
and whether it is done from vim
dictive standpoint or from an econ
omical one, the Pie-maker is unable
to say, but it mattres not which one
it is done for, it is quite commenda-
bic on the part of the city council
and quite saving to the taxpayers.
Since this spirit Of retrenchment
has sprung up the Pie-maker sug-
gests that there are still other places
where the pruning knife might be
effectively used to the financial ben
eft of the taxpayers, and he hopes
that the city council will begin at
once to seek out these places.

to go after Judge Georges political
scalp and make him surrender the
office of police judge. What their
object is in this the Pie-maker is I'M
able to say, unless it be for the dr.
rect intention of slapping the Tom
Humes administration in the face
Should Judge Georges salary be re
duced to $25 month from the city
there is no doubt but what he would
resign the police judgeship, and
then those duties would again
be imposed upon Judge Cam. On
the whole Judge George has made
a very efficient official and it is I'M
fortunate that this controversy has
come up, as it will sooner or later
have to be settled in the courts.

RAILROADS WERE AFFECTED

New York January 22-The influences in the stock market resolved themselves to- day into several distinct component parts, who operated In conflict part of the time and never in clearly defined concert There was a palpab1e effort to open prices high. In fact the brokers in a number of stocks admitted the receipt of orders to make first prices as high as possible. This Is familiar device of traders who have gone long of stocks during a rise on one day, to get the greatest possible benefit from the relapse after the opening in prices of the stocks which were most palpably ma nipulated yesterday disclosed the opera tions of this class St. Paul and Northern Pacific were conspicuously affected in this way, the former opening up 1A and the latter rising almost as much and then running off again to near last nights level. The same stocks came into prominence again late in the day, after rumor had been received of the Queens death.
 This event had been so definitely fore seen that there was little reason to ex- pect that its actual announcement would cause any marked depression in the mar ket, but apparently there was a specula- tive element which feared the possibility of selling induced by the Queens death. Alter that event was reported there was a pause in the activity of the market as though awaiting it's effect on prices, and shortly afterward room traders set to work to bid up prices again. They lifted it an extreme K over last night, Northern Pa c1fic 5-S and the Changers, Pacific, trunk knes and more prominent stocks generally from to points.
