MUST WAIT AWHILE.

The communication from P. B. John
son published in Saturdays States
man makes it plain that Walla Walla
has nothing to gain and much to lose
by an attempt to get a new charter
before the city's population reaches
twenty thousand. 1t is pointed out
that only a city containing a popula-
ton of 10000 inhabitants or more shall
be permitted to frame a charter
for its own government" and that
smaller cities can be organized only
under general laws or continue under
their territorial charters.
The people of Walla Walla DO not
care to run the risk of getting any
sort of a charter that the legislature
may choose to give them. Any CHAR
ter that might be submitted to the
legislature as embOdying the desires
of the people of this city would be
made the football of the railroad lob
by and Of every other trading influ-
ence in the legislature, and when they
got through with it. it is likely that
it would be an agglomeration most
fearfully and wonderfully made, a
kissing. a byword and an abomination
in the eyes of all honest men. Rather
than take a chance in such a grab
bag lottery as that the people Of Wal
la Walla would better content them
selves with the charter they have I'M
til the population of the city shall en-
title them to draft a charter to their
liking. 1t will not be many years I'M
Til the population will reach twenty
thousand. Until that time comes
Mayor Hunt will have to get along
without more authority and more re-
sponsibility on his shoulders" Mean
while the people will continue to
choose their own chief of police AMI
the other principal paid city officials
whether their choice meets with the
approval of the mayor Or not.

farmers of this county received last
session cannot be repeated again.
This would seem to indicate that the
Gazette's work in the last campaign
was so coarse that it despaired OF re-
beating it. We do not know OF any
one who did more double crossing
in the last campaign than the Colfax
Gazette. It supported Mr. Ankeny,
the avowed opponent of commission
bill. and in the same breath shrieked
for a commission in the interest of
the farmer 1t permitted the passage
of a resolution in the Whitman coun-
ty convention instructing the legisla-
tive nominees to vote against any SEN
atorial candidate who did not favor a
commission, after having moved
heaven and earth to secure the nOmi-
nation of candidates favorable to Mr..
Ankeny. And now it speaks up as
innocent as harlot at a christening
and declares that eastern Washington
shall not be double crossed again"
Well, that depends upon what there is
in it for the Gazette. And as for the
voice of Whitman county in the next
campaign the only thing that talks
in that locality is the cold and silent
coin and we know of no greater adept
in that sort of conversation than the
Colfax Gazette"

WANTED SOME OF THE SWAG.

The editor of the Colfax Gazette
had his pants stolen from his Pull
man berth at Umatilla a few nights
ago. The thief found nothing in the
pockets but bunch of keys Per-
haps the man who coveted those edi-
tOrial pantaloons had heard the story
that the Gazette editor last fall got
a bunch of money for turning his pa
per over to the support of Levi An
keny ana the thief hoped-tO find some
of the filthy lucre thus gained. still in
the editors pockets. But it seems
the editor had taken the precaution
on retiring to hide his wad somewhere
else. II is just possible that the high
wayman who fished that pair of pants
through the car window in the dead
of night was in the confidence of
George Stevenson and that he had
read the following from the Seattle
Republican and accepted it as gospel
truth:
The ColfaX Gazette says that "the
issues OF the next campaign will be

WHICH SHALL IT BE?

To learn the true inwardness of the
local political situation and it's bearing
on the politics of the state, one must
sometimes go away from home for
information. The people of Walla
Walla have known for some time that
Mayor Hunt was a candidate for the
republican nomination for governor
before the result of the late municipal
election clipped his wings, but it is
not generally known that Representa-
tive KEGS, late machine candidate for
chief of police. is also being talked
Of as the railroad candidate for gov
ernOr. Perhaps this explains why
George Stevenson, Link Davis. Madge
and Scobey came over from the Sound
to aid in his campaign. The Seattle
Mail and Herald says:
One development Of the defeat of
KEGS for the marshalship has been the
suggestion of his name as a possible
candidate for the gubernatOrial nOmi-
nation. 1t does not seem possible that
the followers of Mr.. Ankeny can be
SO lacking in political wisdom that
they will bring out a man Of the po-
litical record of KEGS seriously for
the office which has been filled by a
man so noble in character as John r.
Rogers, and is now occupied by so
able and courageous a fighter as Hen
~ G. Mcbride. Or has the victory of
his money bags and SJevenson's Chi
canery at Olympia last winter so in
tOXicated the senator that he thinks
anything is possible in the politics of
Washington? The record of KEGS in
state politics is entirely against him.
AS member of the late unlamented
legislature he tied up from start to
finish with the railroad bunch. he
voted and worked against the proposed
railroad commission, he voted against
the gambling felony law, he voted for
the Ubiquitous libel law which would
have been fOisted upon the newspa-
pers of the state had it not been for
the courageous stand of Governor Nc
Bride and a few of the incorruptible
pro-railroad, though honest, members
of the state senate. He even voted
against the nickel-in-the-slot machine
law, than which no law passed by the
last legislature was more generally
demanded by the people of the state.
With such record as this behind him
| it is inconceivable that political
| manager so shrewd as George Steven
son will permit KEGS to even attempt
to make the race for the gubernatorial
nomination."

PREFERENCES AND EMBARGOES

Great Britain's noted economist
Sir Robert Giffen, has formed some
especially interesting conclusions up
on the subject of preferential tariffs
which have definite bearing upor
the tariff question not only from Eng
lands viewpoint but universally.
He observes that England cannot
| afford to tax raw materials, and that
the only preferences which she can
grant her colonies must be on food
imported from them. England i'm
ported last year about 100000 900
hundredeweight of wheat and flour
one-fifth of which came from British
colonies and possessions. From
these figures Sir Robert Giffen draws
an illustration.
Suppose" says he, I'VE impose 5
shillings and a quarter upon imports
of wheat and -four from foreign coun-
tries-and it would take such a duty
at least to produce sensible effects
We should burden the country to the
extent of the charge on foreign wheat.
or sum of 5,094,000 pounds sterling.
plus further sum Of $4,000 by
which the price of colonial wheat
would be raised in our markets. and
further sum of probably about g.
100000 as the enhanced price of
wheat produced at home-total S.
$4,000 pounds. This seems rather a
large price for consumers at home to
pay in order to give the colonies a
bonus of no more than 1,219,0OO."
In a word the people of the mother
country would have to pay something
over six to one for their kindness.
Nothing furnishes a better concrete
illustration of one sort of tariff op-
preston than this.
England has already discovered
that preferential treatment of it's
colonies means damage in another
way, Germany's retaliation on ac-
count of Canada's privileged treat
ment affording the proof; and it will
be strange surely if England can be
Induced to abandon the interested
policy through which she has at
tanned and held commercitl greatness.

DEPARTURE IN PRACTICAL POL
ITICS.

In putting itself against the people
upon the issue Of tariff revision the re
publican machine violates the old pol
itical precept, Stick close to the
voter"
Practical politicians usually follow
an opportunist policy. They sound the
people and dispose themselves &C
cordingly. The prime object is to win
and win by the surest method, which
IS the peoples votes. The voting
strength Of the country has PRACTICAL
ly declared in favor of revis-
ion. The republican voters are a unit
for practical revision, and, as far as
they go, are as firmly opposed to the
Dingley schedules as are the demo-
Gratis.
1t would not be surprising should
the machine set itself squarely in op-
position to the voter upon some minor
issue, but to ignore the voters wishes
upon the tariff trust question. the
main issue, seems like reckless def
ance that promises disaster. It does
not look like an attempt to do the
winning thing, especially when the
democratic party represents a ready
vehicle for the popular expression
which the machine denies.
An easier and commoner method
would have been to deceive the peo-
pie; embOdy their pet wishes in plat
forms and then, in the interests of
protected monopolies proceed to break
| the platform promises. Or, stand
boldly for the people, even though it
costs a break with the trusts. The
trusts may be rounded in" at any
time by a process resembling black
mail but which is a part of the ma
chine methods. With the people sup
porting the machine the trusts will
| readily knuckle under. Without the
people the machine is of no value to
| the trusts
To SO openly espouse the trusts ap-
| pears fOolhardy. The machine NAV
be misjudging the extent of the peo-
| pies Willingness to be led-may be
making the mistake of assuming that
the people are bigger fools than they
really are. The people may suddenly
manifest wonderful wisdom. To all
| appearances in this instance the ma
chine is far the bigger fool. Short
sight is a complaint which frequently
afflicts practical politicians, but the
slip does not often consist of standing
| close to a privileged interest as
against the greatest asset, the voter,
openly and without complaint.
