killed in this city at $3.50 this morn

promises to Parallel the Scenea
in Chicago.

Denver, Col, June 3O.-Selection
OF the Democratic nominee for Vice
President promises a lively time in
next weeks convention. The list of
prospective candidates is long anu
unless Bryan shall insist on a par
ticular nomination, it will be any
body's game for many a ballot.
Very little talk has so far been
heard concerning the platform, but
It is generally believed among the
recognized leaders now here that the
fight over the Injunction" plank in
the Republican resolution committee
may find parallel when the Demo-
cratic platform builders are fairly at
work. 1t is generally understood
that In the event of the Bryan pee Gle
securing control of the resolutions
committee the declaration of prin-
ciples will follow closely the planks
of the Lincoln platform"
The present prospects are that
there will not be dearth of candi-
datesefOr the Vice-Presidential nomi-
nation. Some of the names now
heard are those of men who have
said they do not desire and would
not take second place. They will
have warm friends In the convention,
nevertheless, who are likely to make
campaigns for them il Mr.. Bryan
should be nominated and fail to voice
his preference for a running mate.
Among. them are Governor johnson,
of Minnesota, and Judge George Gray
of Delaware, both of whom will fig
ure in the ballot for the Presiden-
tial nomination. That both of these
men would prefer not to be thought
of in connection with the Vice-Fresi-
dency and. in fact, might go SO far
as to positively decline in advance to
qualify II nominated, apparently has
failed to eliminate them from the list
of possibilities.
Since the refusal of John Mitchell.
ex-president of the United Mine
Workers Of America. to permit his
name to be used as a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for Gov
ernor of Illinois, he has been men
toned prominently for the second
place on the Democratic National
ticket.

License Transferred
No Sunday Closing

AS an after result of the death of
Charles Williams there has been
mach agitation and discussion of
saloon regulation this week. A
committee of the citizens waited on
the Mayor for the purpose of hav-
ing him call a special meeting of
the Council to revoke the license of
VIM. Howell, to conduct the Ken
newick Bar. At the Mayors sug-
gestion a petition was circulated to
ascertain the sentiment of the busi-
ness men and citizens. The COM
mittee had no difficulty in securing
the signatures Of about Is of the
business men and practically every
one seemed to favor canceling the
licence.
The committee also added two
additional clauses to the petition
asking the Council to pass an ordi-
nance requiring all saloons to close
at midnight and not open until 6
a. m. and asking for the enforce
ment by the Council of the state
law requiring saloons and places of
business to be closed on Sunday.
The Council met in special. session
Monday evening to consider the
petition and after much discussion
the matter of the revoking the Ii.
cense was referred to special COM
mittee of Rose, Kruse and Crowell,
and meeting set for Tuesday
night to consider the committees
report.
At the Tuesday evening meeting
it was arranged that VIM. Howell
retire from the Kennewiok Bar and
his license be transferred to Syl-
vester 4 Roseman who will keep
the Kennewick Bar open until
their own license expires on Sept
ember 10th, when the KennewicK
Bar will be closed and the business
continued on that license in the
Stag Saloon until its expiration
next February.
On the IL O'Clock and Sunday
closing there was much talk, the
Council however was unfavorable.
the advocates of it weakened and
there was nothing doing"

4 RFBJHE TO JACKSON

The Courts action in discharging the receiv-
ers of the Oriental Bank is severe rebuke TO
the preCipitancy of Attorney General Jackson
in having them appointed. In this case the
stockholders and officers of the bank had al
most perfected plan for the prompt payment
of the depoSitors. and awaited only the Attor-
ney Generals consent 10 put it into effect. when
he interfered and threw the institution into the
hands of receivers. The Court has said
that it will not block settlement which IS
satisfactory 10 the depcstors When Mr. Jack
undertook 10 do he did a thing at which
the community properly protested
In his action Mr.. Jackson appears as seeking
10 aid his own political fortunes ny making
sensational move, by himself bringing to light
whatever defects in management had resulted
in the banks suspension. But the object of
receivership is primarily to protect creditors
and not to expose crime. When the creditors
are properly protected there is 10 occasion for
4 receivership. The states interests iii the
punishment of crime. if there has been any.
are adequately guarded ny the State Banking
Department. Certain sensational charges re
-ardng the mana cement Of the Oriental Bank
have been made by the Jackson receivers as
result of their hurried examination Of the bank.
There was no need Of a recelverShlD 10 dis
cover these derelictions. if they exist and no
need of q receiver to bring them TO the attention
OF the criminal authorities if they amount 10
a crime All this can he accomplished decently
and in order and without sensationalism by the
State Banking Department In whose hands the
bank has been since January 81 The state
Superintendent of Banking knows as well
any one that well managed banks do not fail,
and he doubtless knows now. or at any rate
may be trusted TO learn whether or not in this
case The mismanagenent included offences

even predicted that it will be killed in commit
re. in The Assembly. No one doubts its ulti-
mate fate fer both Mayor Mcclellan and Gov

nevertheless desirable thar the Legislature
should take courage from their example and
defeat the project for so long as the Legis-
lature is ready 10 make il law il will be Of

There are better reasons even than there Were
