REPUBLICANS MAY LOSE OFFICE.
Suit to be Commenced in Superior Court This
Week to Gust Justices Taggard and DOust
and ConstabIes Cayou and HammeI

| ter was to be brought before thf
court. A concensus of opinion, how.
ever, gathered from the statement.
made off-hand, not having looked the
matter up, is that the grounds of the
petitioners are well taken, and that
the court may be expected to hold
that Justices Doust and Taggard
and Constables Cayou and Hammel
cannot hold office.
A division of opinion was appar-
ent in regard to the probability OF
Jas. r. Coe being entitled to the
office of justice or w. H. Hatfield to
that of constable. Some thought
this would be the result. while 9TH
ers held that the county commission
ers would be compelled to elect a
justice and constable; in other
words, that North Yakima is with.
cut either OF these officers, and it
will become the duty of the commits.
sioners to select them. In this case
it was frequently predicted that there
would be marked activity among
the eligibles, especially for the office
of justice.
Asked if the official acts of the
officials whose terms are just expir-
ing would be invalidated, promi-
nent attorney said. II think not.
In case of judgments rendered or
convictions for certain offenses had.
the decisions might be attacked.
But in my opinion. their decisions
will hold good, and all their off,
cial acts be held legal, the same as
if there had been but one justice
and one constable, and those two
had been under the salary instead
of the fee system. The reason for
this is that they were officers de
facto, and their right to hold office
had never been questioned. They
were. therefore. officials as much
as if officials de jure"
This opinion is comforting for the
many who have been married by
justices of the peace, and lifted a
great load from the shoulders of
Judge Taggard, who has reputation
all over the northwest as the mar
rying justice"
The legal proceedings IN this case
will be watched with deep interest,
especially by the legal profession, on
account of its Importance. A SINH
lar case is presented in the last ad-
vance sheet of Washington decis-
ions, in Ogden VS.. Chehalis county,
constituting an action by justice of
the peace to recover his salary, in
which the law mentioned above was
upheld.

promoters that the rentals will on
set the mail charges.
While the proposition appears
chimerical when one considers that
the postoffice is doing an annual
business of 100000, 900 year and
has qualifications in every nook and
Granny Ct the country, the character
of the men back of the proposition
precludes any notion that they are
anything but in earnest.
Their argument mas much to COM
mend it. The department showed
deficit of six per cent on the reve-
nues during the last year-less than
ever before. From 1865 to 1885 the
deficit was 14k per cent on the reve-
nue.. and from 1885 to 1905 it Was
an average of s per cent. These
men believe they can introduce one

management not only wipe out the
deficit but make profit. TheJ

The government would save 4 con:
| siderable sum by the arrangement
and relieve itself of great burden.
Moreover, in order to make the
business "a success the syndicate
would be compelled to improve and

Advocates of government owner
ship may find in the proposition a
menace to their campaign. For
Uncle Sam to relinquish this public
utility to private capital would be
an acknowledgment that he had
made failure, and If the syndicate
should add to the popularity of the
postal service by introducing i'm
proved business methods, it would be
long time before the people would
lend a willing ear to socialistic
schemes embracing government
ownership of anything.
