The commission should make its report, discharge its employes and close its office at once. 1 People who belleve what the Lincoln Journal has to say about the wonderful activity of Attorney neral Churchill in the appeal of the maximum freight rate cases will be inclined to think that the legistature made a mistake in mak- fug an appropriation to retain the serv fces of a capable attorney 1o represent the state in these cases.

Without undertaking to say on which side the right is in the trouble that has grown out of the eviction of settlers on | the Indian reservation in Thurston | county, The Bee earnestly adviscs the | people there not to allow themselves to be influcnced by passion or by the coun sel of rash jeaders, All the talk about to Dbloodshed protect the the settlers is reckless folly, which must be discountenanced by every good eitizen. As we understand the matter, the Indian agent has acted strictly in compliance with instructions from higher authority, and if a wrong has beon done the responsibility is not with him, but with those who direct him, and the remedy is to be songht at Washington. There can be on doubt [if the proper effort is made by the per interest to put their ease before gton authorities it will re. ceive consideration and that strict justice will be done, but the other hand if they attempt to resist by f the authority of the government they will place themselyes in ion of public enemies and must Juen The course ought to be n of 'Thurston rights of sons in the V the pos! expect utter clear county.

This is the proper thing to do and it is to be hoped it will have the desired effect. HOW 1T WOLKS, An fllustration of how the foreign manufacturers ave favored by the pres- ent tariff law is furnizhed by a state- ment of the United States consul at adford, England, showing the value of declared exports from that consular district to the United States duving the month of May 1804 and 18!

While the trade of this one manufacturing district in England with the United States has inereased GOO per cent in u that has un doubtedly grown to nearly if not quite as great an extent, and this is the way the democratic tarilf policy we the benefit of the manufacturers of our greatest commereial vival. No wonder the London Board of Trade extended to Mr. Wilson the extraordinary compli- ment of a banguet at which the demo. eratie policy was 1ded and the hope carnestly expressed that that party would long continue in control of the gov ernment, It will be remembered that on that n Mr. Wilson advised his entertainers to look ont for their mar- kets, beeanse under the new tariff the American manufacturer going to make an effort to capture them, but this rning did not disturb the equanimity of the shrewd British business men there assembled, who well knew what the democratic policy meant for them. As yet the American manufacturer has not captured any foreign market nor is there any prospect of his doing so, but the B I manufacture are real zing all the advantage they hoped for from the new tarviff.

The man who runs the Jackass Battery wants to know whether a minority of re- publicans when dissatisfied with their own party action should have the right to name nominees in a nonpartisan movement. That depends upon condi tions. Once upon a time the United Stites senate was equally divided Dbetween democrats and republicans, The re- publicans wanted to beat the democrats in organizing the senate, but no demo- crat could to cut About this time a man by .the name of David Davis, who had been elected to fill a vacanc from Ilinois, took his seat. Davis had been a justice of the supreme court and his disposition was to stay in the middle of the independent. So the republicans con- cluded that the minortty party com posed of one member had a right to name the candidate for prestdent, Dayis, very modestly but naturally, thought that he was the best man in his party and therefore named himself, Moral—In a political campaign good generalship and military necessity m. require the recognition of the minority without which the battle eannot be won. be persuaded loose, d as an TH OF THE € With an overlap of over § ing it in the face and a marked de erease in the tax valuation the council still persists in running the municipal machine on the £ $200,000,000 valuation and 200,000 population. In- stead of lopping off supernumeraries and laying off men who are drawing pay without doing any perceptible work the pay roll is kept at the highest noweh, Not many years ago the council man- 1zed to get along comfortably without a paid sergeant-at-arms, The chief of police, cither by himselr or deputy, was present at every to main order and papers were served upon ab sentees by police officer detailed for that duty. This did not entail one dol- ar of extra expense and the service was in the hand; an officer who tended to his business ana nad authority to enforce obedience. Presently one of the council combines which have dominated the city and looted the treasury in turn decided to provide for one of the ward politicians by creating the office of sergeantat rms. This officer was at first paid § for eve nneil Then his salary was raised to 75 per month and he was required also to act as a runner for the city attorney in working up evi- dence for city cases. It was the old, old story of the camel who was trying to wedge himself into the Arab's hut. First Mr. Camel poked fn nts nose, then he squeezed in his head, then his neck, then his shoulders, then his hump, and finally Mi. Camel presented himself at full length inside, No sooner had the council established the complex office of sergeant-at-arins and court sniffler than it was found that there was altogether too much for one man to do, The mese ligment had to be cut.
