There has been a great scrap over
in Walla Walla and the two factions
in the city are now using plenty OF
arnica and linifnent, and are brushing
effort to tidy up" after the election,
says the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
The roll call after the battle shows
that ex-Gov. Moore's valiant BOX
ers" have done up the Ankenyites in
great style.
1t is doubtful if the campaign just
closed ever had a parallel in the his
tory Of municipal politics in the
Pacific northwest. The methods in
vogue at the last senatorial contest
in Olympia have been applied I'M
blushingly in Walla Walla, and the
uprising of the worthy people of that
community is nothing more or less
than a protest against a state OF at
fairs that no longer could be endured.
Baneful Influences were manifested
long ago. The present fight, in which
party lines were blotted out absolutely
in the effort to save the city, dates
from the formation of the so-called
republican club, the sole condition Of
membership being willingness to sup
port Ankeny for senator. Here fol-
lows an outline of the tactics in deal
ing with local affairs adopted by the
members Of that club:
They traded positions in the public
schools for votes.
They located a schoolhouse for
votes.
They renamed a public schoolhouse
for votes.
They captured the organization Of
charitable society, and used it for
votes.
They forced the question of the SEN
atOrship into every relation in life,
so that on a mans attitude toward
it depended his success or failure in
business and society.
So far-reaching, SO productive of
evil, and so subversive Of the liberties
of the community were such methods
that the American spirit Of Walla
Walla rose in revolt. The result is
now known. The Boxers have
rescued their city, and all the money
and all the influence that corrupt in
tentions could WELD brought nothing
but defeat. By the narrowest margin,
only two of the Ankeny ticket
scratched into office and the faction
REPRESENTED by the senator will be
without representation in the next
convention. His following is practi-
cally obliterated.
Walla Walla is cutting the cancer
out. 1t is making heroic effort to
withstand the Influences and the eff
frontery that have branded it's pO-
itical activities as without shame.

WEFKIY BUZZARD'S SPASMS.

The editor of the Argus has gone
stark. raving mad over the defeat OF
the Ankeny machine through the per
sistent efforts of the Statesman. HaV
inc abandoned all the reform prin-
ciples that he formerly advocated and
having staked his all on the continued
dominance of a machine built up by
corruption. bribery, intimidation and
alliance with the most disreputable
elements of the community, he now
finds himself deserted by his former
supporters and left to the mercy of
machine that cares nothing for man
who is no longer of any use to it. If
any one doubts that the Argus editor
has gone hOpelessly insane, an eXaml-
nation of the last issue of his Weekly
Buzzard will convince the most char
liable He throws one fit after anoth-
er, spasm upon spasm, until the mln-
formed reader would be forced to the
conclusion that the paper was being
edited as a diversion by patients in
some lunatic asylum.
The editor. in order to prove his de-
vOtiOn to the machine which has been
giving him a few crumbs of patronage
since his apOstacy to the cause Of re-
form last year. launched an evening
paper during the recent city canl-
paign. thinking that he would turn the
town clear over and wreck the States
man by his pOnderOus Onslaughts. but
the result was just the opposite. The
first issue of his paper exposed the
fact that the machine was running two
candidates for chief of police. one Of
them being intended merely as a de-
coy to catch the law and order ele-
ment. while the other rode to victory
on the shoulders of the gamblers and
wide-Open crowd. Every subsequent
issue of the Evening Caterpillar was
a boomerang for the machine. and
the manipulators of the Ankeny cam
paign breathed a sigh Of relief when
the abOrtive sheet went into the CO
coon state However, it remains to
plague them in the shape of the
Weekly BuZzard. and the only hope
they have of Kidding themselves of the
hoodoo is that it may gorge itself to
death upon the carrion that it now
seeks as its favOrite food.
That the public may pass upon the
sanity of the editor of the hebdomadal
sheet, the Statesman gives below a
few samples Of the spasms that fill
the last issue.
Spasm No /:
The man who goes down through
strong drink does so voluntarily, and
has but himself to blame. But what
of that devilish influence spewed forth
from the vilest, slimiest depths of hell
which sneaks up behind the innocence
of childhood, the virtue of wOmanhooJ
and the honor or manhood, and strikes
them down with the cOwardly blow OF
an assassin? Can the Statesman say
not guilty?'
The Statesman was certainly not
aware that it had outraged the child
ish innocence the womanly honor or
the manly virtue of the editor of the
Argus or of anybody else. The he'd
domadal editor is too hasty in forming

NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS.

We pity the man who begun the New
Year without making worthy New Year
resolutions. No man, except the few
who are perfect-if there any such,
ought to pass that mile stone without re-
solving to celebrate the New Year by a
noble purpose to make his life greater
blessing to the world. The loud profess
sions of turning over a new leaf" made
without due reflection in public, and for
gotten in day, have tended to give dis
repute to New Year resolutions. Be-
cause the thoughtless make resolutions
they do not keep there is no reason why
the earnest men and women should not
solemnly make good resolutions. 1t
helps all-men to resolve to do better
even those who lack the strength to keep
them, if they honestly seek to live up to
them. Whatever man earnestly desires
to be, that he already is, in part at
least. 1t is by aspiring that men rise
in this world. 1t is by over coming the
smaller vices that men gain strength to
overcome the greater temptation to
wrong doing. 1t is by putting down self
that men become noble and good.
I'VE rise by stepping stones of our dead
selves
To higher things"

James 81. Fonvielle for Engrossing
Clerk.

To the Editor:-Mr. James H. Fonvielle
will be a candidate before the Democratic
caucus of the House of Representatives
next week for the office of Engrossing
Clerk of the House. and he confidently
expects the nomination.
He was the Engrossing Clerk of the
last House Of Representatives, and is
willing to abide by the judgment of the
members of the last Legislature as to his
proficiency and his uniform courtesy.
1t has been the custom in the Demo
cratic party in this State to endorse the
action of an officer who has served faith
fully by reelection, and as he has
held the office for only one term he and
his friends hope that an exception will
not be made \lgainst him.
The old members of the Legislature ex-
pect this endorsement at the hands OF
their constituents, and the new mem
bers if they desire to return to the next
Legislature will expect it. Can they dc
less than follow the same rule in their
relation to others?
Mr.. Fonvielle is a man of high charac-
ter, and has at all times been a faith
full Democratic worker.

RAILROAD SUES A STATE.
Springfield Republican.

Springfield Republican.
Suit has been brought against the State
of Michigan by the Michigan Central
Railroad Company for damages in the
sum of $6,000,000. This grows out of the
action Of the Legislature in revoking
the special charter of the railroad COM
pany which permitted it in perpetuity to
charge three cents mile on passenger
traffic and to pay a specific tax on gross
earnings in lieu of other taxes. BY the
act of revocation the road was brought
under the general railroad law of the
State limiting charges to two cents a
mile and taxing railroad property ac-
cording to value. No State shall pass
law imparting the obligation of con-
tracts, says the Federal Constitution.
This was evidently such a law, but in
stead of resisting the repeal of the char
ter on these grounds, the Michigan Cen
trail chose to yield and then seek to re-
cover damages, the State having given
its, consent to be sued in the act of revo-
cation. Now we shall see how the State
will suffer for venturing to impair the
obligation of a contract foolishly en-
tered into years ago. The suit for So
100000 is for damages covering only one
year. III IL is won, Cnen the ROAD evil
IDENTIFY stands to recover from the State
Sc, 900, 900 every year forever and forever.
Will it be able to do this. or to re-
cover any considerable sum in perpetuity?
Undoubtedly not; and in that case a very
conspicuous example of success will have
been afforded in the practical setting
aside of the great precedent in Federal
Jurisprudence first established in Chief
Justice John Marshall's opinion rendered
in the celebrated Dartmouth college case.
