SITUATION LOOKS GOOD

There are indications that the voters of the state of Washington will eNer- else an independence in voting Tor state offices this year that marks the highest standard of citizenship, The situation begins to look as though the repuoh- can machine made ticket will be pretty badly perforated on election day, It Is to be hoped that it will be so, There is not A decent interest in the state that would not be served by crushing de- feat for some of those whose names ap- near on that ticket. The election oi Ex-Senator Turner for governor, Stephen Judson for lieutenant govern or, Judge Neal for attorney general Alfred Battle for supreme court JuoSe' and possible another of the democratic nominees, would be one of the best things that could happen to the repuo- lican party in Washington. lt would serve notice that the people there will not tolerate dictation from corrupt gang of political highwaymen. It would mean that the people of that state demand honesty and efficiency m public service. lt would clearly con yey the knowledge that DO party could control the affairs of Washington un- less it were done in the interest or the people. Then would the members ol the republican party be made to under stand that he serves his party best who serves the whole people best. In short it would result in the retirement Of a lot of the uucOnscionable ScoundreIs who have been directing republican affairs iu that state, and bring decent and able men to the front.
 There are plenty of them among the 65,OOO sturdy republicans Of the Ever green state.
 Never had the people of machine ridden state 8 better opportunity tc castigate gang Of political prostitutes than that offered the people of Wash ipqton. Making the most of the oppor' tunity that was presented to them, the democrats there have nominated Co run against the more incompetent ard the weaker of those on the republican tic ket men of the very highest standing for integrity and ability. It Is to the credit of the people of that state. ths' a. least four of the best known and oeN qualified of the democrats stand gooI chance O, being elected, uotwithstand ipgthat the republican national and con gresslonal tickets will receive a major ity that will not be far, it any, short o 5000.

WALLACE WAS KIDNAPPED.
Result of Rivalry Between Kentucky
 Saloon Men.


 Louisville, Ky, Dec 14.-A special from Louisa. Ky, says: John Babers Wallace was kidnapped just across the river from this place by a party of eight men. composed. 1t is alleged. of Morgan Curry and two brothers. Lewis and Charles Dillon, Stewart and two others.
 Wallace was taken up Tug River ten miles into West Virginia. Wallace paid his captors s2o0 to spare his life and later he gave them a COW to re- lease him. The mon refused to accept wallace's check but John York. a merchant, accepted 1t and gave them his own check.
 This episode was the result of trou. bIe which occurred about three weeks ago, ten miles up Tug River. All the parties live in that neighborhood and some of them are alleged to have been in the liquor business. Wallace was one of these. Opposition grew so fierce that 1t finally resulted in a raid on Wallace's place and entirely destroy ing 1t. During the trouble a number of shots were fired. One shot took effect ip Mrs. wailace's leg. and ball from a Winchester in her hand pierced the breast of Tom Curry. producing dan- gerous wound Wallace secured war. rants and one of the Dillons was ar rested. Wallace was captured when near his house by the eight n,en.
 Rewards aggregating $350 have been offered for the arrest of the Curry geng.

REPORT DENIED.
President Is Not Outspoken for EIlxins's
 Plan.

Washington, Dec. 14.--(Special. J. Reports that President Roosevelt fa- vored the Elkins plan of solving the railroad rate question by the creation of an Interstate Commerce Court, is positively denied today by those who have been about the White House.
 The most that the President has done is to say that, If 1t were deemed the most practicable plan to have a regu- lar Judicial tribunal for the trial of questions effecting interstate freight rates, and similar questions which now arise under the interstate commerce act he would be very we'll satisfied. Included in the scheme was the fur ther idea of having the present Inter state Commerce Commission continue It's practice of Investigating and keep ing a hand on the common, carriers and acting as the prosecuting authority in bringing disputed matters before the court for adjudication.
 Such details as the holding of court sessions in the several judicial cir cults, etc, have never been discussed, much less decided upon by the Presi- dent. Least of all has 1t been in his mind at any time to consider the parti- san politics of any Of the judges even for the purpose of dividing the court equally in that respect. On the con- trary the one thing he has kept stead fly before every person, who has talked over the matter with him. Is that the size of the men selected. their attain ments, their standing in their profess sicn, their acquaintance with transpor- tation problems and laws and the pub lie confidence they enjoy were the only things to be considered.

nnowNLow's POSITION.
Is Opposed to Cat in sGuthera Repre- sentntion.

Washington, Dec. 1f.-+tfspecfal. 1--- Representative Brownfow. who rejoiceA in the reputation as the most puissaut Republican boss in Congress from the South. said today that he was opposed ,to the Platt bill to reduce Southern representation in Congress.
 He Is preparing a letter to refuta certain published garblings of his views in which he win set forth his position in detail. He repudiates the sentiment accredited to him. that ha favors the wholesale disfranchisennent of the negro. as he believes that iutel- liEent. law-abiding men of the race should be protected and encouraged in their efforts to become useful citizens.
 While he is not in favor of the re- duction of Southern representation he says he believes that unless the laws in some States, such as Kentucky and Tennessee. whose effect if not intent Is to make fraud easy. the sentiment outside of the States carried by Judge Parker will become irresistible for Federal legislative interference. He claims that fraud against the Repubii- can candidate for Sheriff in Greene County. Tennessee, elected A. T. Fra zier. sheriff of the County. and that the Republican candidate was counted out by commissioners appointed by the Democratic candidates cousin. Cover nor James B. Frazier. Countless in- stances. MT. Brownlow says. in Knox and other counties of Tennessee. could be cited to show the truth of his as- sertion that the present election law of Tennessee makes fraud easy, and that 1t IS notorious that Fl. Clay Evans was cheated out of the Governorsiup.

 Washington. Dec. Especial. )--- Solemn as a donkey In snow storm" This was the simile of a western observer of the proceedings of the Senate today when the stately int- tiative step in the swayne impeach- ment case gave the Senate the sem blance of a high court and when the committee for the House as a grand jury flor all the people" presented the indictments.
 Further proceedings. when the Sem ate sits as a court and announce ready to try the accused. will be even more impressive. The next step. the taking of the order to summon Judge swayne to appear to answer the im- peachment, the preparation by the house committee of the articles, the appointment of a committee of mana gers on tho part of the House and the debate likely to occur in that body on the shape of several articles will in all. it Is believed consume greater part of the short session of this Congress-.
