WHITMAN FACTIONS STIRRED UP
Great interest Aroused by Probable
Appointment Of Chadwick.

COLFAX, 9pril 1.-THE announce
ment in a Spokane daily paper, that
Governor Mead had decided to appoint
Stephen ]. Chadwick, judge of the su-
perior court of Whitman county, a
member of the railway commission,
came as great surprise here, and has
created much interest. Judge Chad
wick was seen by a correspondent but
professed utter ignorance of the mat
ter and declared his first and only in
timation that such a move was con-
tefnplated was when he read the ar
ticle in the newspaper. He refused to
discuss the subject and pleaded total
of the governor to make such an ap-
pointment.
Despite the denials of Judge Chad
wick, there is a. well defined rumor
that strong pressure has been brought
to bear upon the governor to induce
him to appoint Judge Chadwick, who
is democrat, to the railway commits
sion, and appoint J. n. Pickrell of Col
fax superior judge, to succeed Chad
wick. 1t mas long been Pickrell's am
bition to occupy the bench, but he
failed of the nomination four years
ago, being beaten by w. ]. Bryant, who
was defeated by Judge Chadwick. J.
Last year Pickrell and his faction Of
the republican party lost control of
the organization and his name was
not even mentioned as a candidate. u.
L. Ettinger was unanimously nominat-
ed for judge, but declined the nomina
ton and the place was left blank on
the ticket.
Leader of Ankeny Faction.
Pickrell is the leader of what is
known as the Ankeny faction of the
republican party in the county. This
faction was repudiated in both con-
ventions last year, and the control Of
the party passed to what is known as
tno Boxers. Inc county ceHtTdl
committee would bitterly oppose the
appointment of Pickrell to the judge
ship, should there be a vacancy, and
already there is a movement on foot
to enter a protest against Pickrelrs
appointment Several consultations of
party leaders have been held, but what
action was taken cannot be learned.
Judge Chadwick is one of the pioneer
attorneys of Whitman county, having
practiced law here for twenty years.
He has been in partnership with Judge
Fullerton, now on the supreme bench,
and several other prominent attor-
neys. He is a son of Ex-Governor
Chadwick of Oregon, and was educat-
ed at Willamette university at Salem.
Oregon. He was a member Of the
state land commission under the Nc
Graw administration, in 1866, and
he has always been active in politics.
He was a grand master in the Masonic
order in this state for one term, ana
is prominent in the councils of several
secret societies. He has wife and
four children.

USE OF E N WORDS.
A Practice That Does Not Help the
English Language.

English Language.
Why do people persist in using
French words when there are good old
English words to serve the purpose?
1t is a habit that is growing daily. For
instance. at dinner people give you
menu" instead Of "bill of fare"
though the items are such English
dishes as boiled cod, roast beef and ap-
pie tart. One is accommodated with a
serviette instead of a napkin, an Eng
hsh word, but originally of French or
igin, as is the Scotch word napery,
used for household linen. When you
enter q shop you are served with cor
sets instead of stays, costumes by a
costumiere instead Of dresses by a
dressmaker. "Blouses" take the place
OF shirts or waists, and hose are Of
fered for stockings. The former word
is. however, English. At the theater
we have programmes instead of play
bills and matinees in place of afternoon
performances. Toques are adjusted
with as much ease as hats, and we eat
in a restaurant as cheerfully as In a
dining room. There are, of course, I'M
translatable words which must be
used, but u good old English Ian
guage is rapidly becoming a hotch-
potch of foreign words, while telegra-
ply is doing its best to Dust all the
crisp and racy Saxon speech. When
ever possible let us determine to use
an English instead Of q French word.

When the common mortal is
found guilty of contempt of
court he is punished, as respect
for the court is essential to the
very existence of government.
It has been found that the big
packers of Chicago have been in
contempt of court for two years,
and while acting in defiance of
the courts injunction have rob-
bed the stock producers of the
country of millions of dollars.
Never was contempt of court of
so aggravated a nature. Now will
the offenders be punished? Or
is the government Of the United
States to appear to be so lenient
to, or so fearful of, these great
malfactors that they are to be
permitted to escape just pun.

ANIMAL STRIKERS.
Both Birds and Beasts Occasionally
Refuse to Work.

Both Birds and Beasts Occasionally
Refuse to Work.
Both birds and beasts occasionally go
on strike, according to observers. a
herd of horses will bunch together, neg
lect their food, become FESTIVE, neigh
and rub noses when in a field. The
outcome is that the herd will not allow
themselves to be saddled or harnessed
and will chase and attempt to kick the
attendants. Female birds take tan
trums and refuse to do the Homework.
They desert their nests and leave their
eggs to become cold and barren. The
male naturally becomes greatly con-
cerned, but with the bird and beast
creation the male will never attack the
female, SO there is no remedy. War
blers and starlings are given greatly to
these strikes.
A species of black ants have little
yellow ants which do most of their
work for them. Occasionally the vel
low species will go on a strike. Their
food supply is cut of, but if that does
not avail the strikers are attacked or
another lot Of yellow ants are secured
Even the rabbit is a hardened strik'
er. In rabbit colonies the stronger rab
bits do most Of the %burrowing, and as
often as perhaps once in two years
these become discontinued and refuse
to work.

not heretofore been so pre-
sumptious is to assume a mon
opoly of a policy so absolutely es-

jealous supporters as can be
found in the democratic party.

as Jim and a Mr.. Toy have spok-
en-. All that is necessary now

TOBACCO SECRETS.
Turkish and V%irginian Leafs Are Va
rieties Of the Same Plant.

Turkish and Virginian Leafs Are Va
rieties Of the Same Plant.
How many people even among the
most confirmed smokers know what is
the difference between Turkish and
Virginia tobaccos?
The smoker, of course, can tell you
which Is which at the first Whit, but
IL you ask him what the original dis
tinction is between the two he will tell
you that one comes from Turkey and
the other from the States.
he is wrong. You could grow Turk
ish and Virginia tobaccos in the same
field, for they are merely two different
varieties of the same plant. Turkish
Is the leaf of Nicotiana r~ustica, while
Virginia is Nicotiana augustipolia. OF
course the two are often blended by to-
~bacconists.
Again, what constitutes the differ
ence between Strong and mild" to-
baccos? 1t is simple enough. The strong
product is so manufactured that it
burns slowly, the result being that the
contained nicotine is distilled in an IN
altered state. Mild tobaccos are those
which burn well, and thus their con-
tanned nicotine is consumed or decom-
posed, with the result that q less mar
cotic smoke is formed.
We often hear cheap cigars spoken Of
as cabbage leaves" and doubtless
many people believe that these are &C
tually a%dulterated with other sub
stances than tobacco. Often in such a
weed the outside wrapper is noticed to
be patched with pale green, and this
fact is held proof of the cabbage leaf
libel. The piece Of greenish leaf is real
tobacco which has been plucked unripe
or not properly cured. 1t is only to be
found in thin, poor leaf.-London Ex-

Our esteemed contemporary
at the desk in the other corner of
this sanctum, labors under the
impression that democrats are
tearing their hair because the
president shows signs of being
in earnest in the prosecution of
the trusts. Of course this con-
clusion is not warranted by any
facts. The fact is that Mr..
Bryan is using all the force of
his moral suasion on democratic
congressman to have them
strengthen the arm of the presi-
dent in this fight. And as for
VIM. r. Hearst, he has spent
large sums from his private
purse in hiring attorneys and
detectives to secure evidence
against both the anthracite coal
trust and the beef trust, and
turned it into the president to
aid against these monopolies. 1t
is quite certain that the president
needs and will get the generous
aid of democrats who are more
anxious to see reforms secured
than the humiliation or discom-
fort of the president.
