EarntstJtep'HbllcaTis,. ho 1 care more for party success than for factional victory, are seeking the causa of the defeat, andstrhen found, they pro pose to do something to remedy It in fu ture. Never before in Uia history 6f the Btate bad the occasion been so auspicious 1 for Republican, victory as it was in the campaign which- oloded a. Few weeks ago. "Four Mr -of -iiBnr?rtrmrt m-AtAm-itY i urrSer the Bold standard- had ejected perraandat etire for the free silver braze which swopr the state Into the Populist cohfan la. JSW, and on the other great Issue of the" campaign that of territo rial expansion the state, by reason of the material benefits which It will reap from the holding ot the Philippines, was nat urally Republican this year, ThL5ueck f fe. stte- S ! line with advanced National sentiment was demonstrated in the great majority whloh was given President McKInley and the Republican Congressional candi dates; but when It ca'rrie to determining whether or net the state government, with Its extensive patronage, should be committed Into the hands of the Repub llcan party, thousands of the same men who voted for McKInley faced squarely In the other direction, and voted against J. M. Frlnk, the Republican Gubernato rial nominee, casting their votes for Gov ernor Rogers instead. To discover the cause of this defection, and to prevent its repetition, is now the aim of all the sagacious and reason ably unselfish party leaders throughout the state. These men do not wish to ko into the next campaign carrying a load so heavy as to bring about defeat again. They propose to apply the pruning knife, and rid the party of some very undesirable- branahes. Causes of Fr ink's Defeat. It is not difficult lo point out the causes which brought about Mr. Frink's defeat. They may be enumerated a fol lows: First, that he was the candidate of an alliance formed for purposes of. mutual benefit 'between ex-Sehatdr John L. "Wil son and ex-Governor John H. McGraw, two ambitious politicians who nave been successively repudiated by the people or the state. Second, Mr. Frink's record while a member or the State Senate on railroad and corporation legislation, wherein he undoubtedly favored the railroads as against the wheat-shippers of Eastern Washington, Third, a fair degree of satisfaction among the people generally with Govern1 or Rogers' administration, which made him acceptable when the ordinary voter had finally concluded to "scratch" Mr. Frlnk. These causes have been enumerated In the order of their Importance, and closer examination into eaoh one of them will demonstrate conclusively that they had a TAtal effect of the election- In dls ctiesing the first one It Is necessary to go back a few years say to ISfi, the last year of Mr. McGraw's administration as Governor. That administration was not popular. It a not necessary to discuss why It was not so. Suffice It to say that Governor McGraw in divers way,, alien ated a considerable portion of his own party, while the people at large looked upon .him as the embodiment of machine politics. The Unpopularity of his admin istration had considerable to do with the great fusion landslide of 1SSS, for even In that year, when National polities con stituted almost the .sole topic of pub lie discussion, P. C. Sullivan, whom Mc Graw forced upon the party as its Gu bernatorial nominee, rail some 2000 votes behind bis ticket. Concerning Mr. Witeon little need b& said. He was in Congress 10 years and when President McKInley took the oath of office In lteT, he found Wilson the sole Bepublloan In Congress from "Washing ton. Necessarily he" was given the con trol of the Federal patronage, and in stead of using it for the upbuilding of the party aa a whole, he set to work to create a personal machine, and used the patronage. thus placed at bis disposal to that end. This made him very unpopular with his own party, and when he came up for re-election In 19, he waa unceremo niously turned down. Prior to the campaign this year, Mr. Wilson secured sufficient capital from unknown, th.ou.gh strongly suspected sources; to purchase the Post-Intelligencer, the leading Republican paper of the state, and through the columns of this paper he brought out Mr. Frlnk as, his candidate for Governor. At the same time he formed an alliance wjth the remnants ot the old McGraw ring In King Cbunty. and secured the McGraw support for Mr Frlnk. Hovr Frinfe Came to Be Nominated. The opposition to Messrs. Wilson, and Mc Graw brought out, as their candidate for i Governor Mayor Humes, of Seattle, who ' probably has a larger personal following than any other politician In the state. With both Gubernatorial candidates living In King County, it became necessary to settle the fight In the primaries of that county. It hadbeeh practically conceded , by the party throughout the slate that , King Ceanty could name the Governor provided the county brought a solid dele gatlon to the state convention for some given candidate. , The battle raged royally- and in the few weeks before the primaries the Post InteHIgeacer, guided and directed by Wil son, opened Its batteries of mud, on the Humes forces, aftd accused them of near ly ever orlroe la the political calendar. Che xlat of the paper's deminlcatloa, i however, was that Mayor Humes waa the i candidate of Levi Anktny, the weiSknown Senatorial candidate from Walla Walla. The supporters of Humes were accused of belnjr in Mr, Ankenv'a oav. and mm high in tha councils -of the party and personally asoye reproach, were reckless ly styl.ed "gratters.' The result of all this was that Ihe "Prink forces won by a aarrbw margin In the Republican County Coaventloa. Intense uproar and disorder markta the 'deliberations" of that "body, but finally out of the tumult Wilson, and M&Graw emerged, bearing aloft the stand ard of vietttry. They secured a feblld and Instructed delegation to the staler conven tion for Mr. Frlnk, leaving: behlsd theaa. however, a. trail of almost Indescribable bitterness, net only among the politicians bat extending down int6 the rank and file as wett. A weak but ineffectual attempt1 wa ade to defeat Mrv Frink Ja the state convention, but with Humes shorn, of asy heme support, the opposition to the WUsoa-McGraw machine was unable te unite upon a candidate. Friflfc waa nominated by acclamation. Roce-rs Alo Had s Bitter Fight. Shortly thereafter. Governor Rogers "was. J reaerataated by the Fuslonists. He lsov had a Dltter fight, hut tender the dlrcctlSai of Seatr Turner his friends xrr1e4 the J day. Rogers was nominated in -con- vestloa consisting of almost lf a!e4 galea. -The two-thirds rule was aadfrteaYJ aad after Rogers won with that handicap against hfea, his enemies, or the great a-4 jonlty of thaia at least, aubniitted, and voted tor him at the polls. It btcuae tvideot during tha csunpiics j, .lhatJIr,.Eriak would rungxeatiyjbebind -h& IlckeU & 5ras apparent that hun- 'dreds f& Bepubacans were &okig $o vote against him. ?The opposition press J?ad orators, appealing to ancient fprejumcc, raised the cry TJf "McGrawwUsea ring? with great effect. It was pointed out that Mr. Prink won she patronage at his disposal Ttfsulda used to elect Mr. Vrllson , Ko tbe Senate two years Jience. The fact ; ' that Mr. "McGraw would also be a potent ; factor In the administration In case Frink - Tahoaia be elected, "was usea, greauy 10 the disadvantage of the lteoubiican nomi- 1 nee. On -the: heels of this, the Fusionlsts iiMii.4if ... Ym AAi , WfVit -wlltl fn ffi-Tit.tTiillftkur. "had voted atnfmst supdry bills which had for their object a vi ;i. i muu - -. rPHunien in ji-hikul rma ljiin iuullci caused .Mr. Frink to lose hundreds of voles among the Tarmers In Eastern Washington. The Republicans polled the state, discovered that Mr. McKInley would have an overwhelming majority, and rested -content. They -did not believe It possible that thousands of Republicans would vote against Mr. -Frink, In sufficient number to defeat him, although -admitting that he would run behind his ticket. When, the votes were, counted, however, It was found that the Republican ma jority was in the neighborhood of 12 000 for McKInley, while Rogers had won by a majority of about 2000. The result was & surnrlse and a shock to the Frlnk forces. It was greeted with Ill-concealed delight, however, by many leading Republicans throughout the state, who see In it the end of Sir. Wilson and Incidentally of 34r McGraw. This class- of men believe xaai iner unreal or. jar. zrjnfc. wm tun In great ultimate good to the Republican party, although the loss of the Governor ship in a year otherwise fraught with magnificent party victory, is, to say the least, somewhat humiliating. Bomoihinr of Successful Candidate. A word concerning Governor Rogers: Four years ago he was a Mid-Road Popu- llst oi the type. Prior to his nom lhatlon for Governor he bad written a book entitled the "irrepressible Conflict," in which he made the most startling declarations, and advocated the wildest theories .known to the- tllsclples of the Omaha piatforhj. His election was great ly feared at that time by the conserva tive business element of the state. It was believed that his being placed at the head of the stats government Wou3d..drIve capital away and reduce Washington to a level with Kansas under LieweUlng or , Colorado under ".Bloody Bridles" Walte, and whtn he finally did win, business men trembled for the fu'ttifv A r-le of the great responsibility rest lm? Upon him. however, obviously had a sobering effect, and not once during hlsM term has he attempted to put any of his wild Popullstlc Ideas into actual effect. He even dlsc&uraged" the passing of a bill establishing that dearest Popullstlc dream, the initiative and. referendum, during the 'session of IS91T, and mainly through his Influence it waa defeated. Governor Rogers' administration on the whole has been moderately satisfactory. He is not a good judge of character, and some of the men with whom he has surrounded himself have neither the con fidence nor the respect of the people, but through It alt he has generally been given credit ot possessing honest inten tions and of being endowed with honest Instincts. From a "howling Populist" he has been transformed Into a conservative Democrat, and people of every class view "four more years of Rogers" with equani mity. Fntnre of the Republican Party. Now, as to the future of the Republi can party in the state. If the present factional fight between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Ankeny continues, it does not requirb a prophet to foretell that the next leg islature that Is, the one which assembles In 1903 will be Democratic; and that it will re-elect Senator Turner. The bit terness of this Ankeny-Wllson fight was shown In the 'elcctldn of holdover State Senators thlsyear. In Walla Walla County, where Mr. Ankenyts rule is supreme, the Wilson men, under cover of a temperance fight, defeated Jacob Bete, who. if elect ed. Would have voted two years hence fbr Mr. Anfceny. In Spokane County the anti Wilson men defeated two State Senators who were pledged to Mr. Wilson. In this maimer the Democrats gained three hold overs In districts that ought to bs and which are Republican It is easy to see where this sort of thing will end two years hence, when every legislator elected will have a vote on the Senatorshlp. Already the WHson-Ankeny fight Is shaping Itself on practically the same lines. Mr. Wllsoh has tacitly announced that he personally Will not b6 a candi date for the place, but he Is encouraging the aspirations of Charles Sweeney, one of his 'wealthy supporters In Spokane Coun ty, and declares, that he will fight Mr. Ankeny to the bitter end. It Is probable that he will bring out a candidate in King County In order to capture tho organiza tion here by an appeal to local senti ment To offset this, the Ankeny men will doubtless spring a candidate for Congress In Seattle, aud fight the battle on those lines In King County. King County's desire for representation in Con gress was shown this year, when, despite a heavy majority for McKInley, It -gave J. T. Ronald, one of the Democratic nom inees fpr Cpnsress. & small majority, and cut Mr. Cushman, the Tacoma Republican candidate. Mr. Ahkeny lias a stroifg organisation In every, county in the state, and, ac cording to present outlook, will capture the organization two year hence. There is very little prejudice against his Sena torial aspirations among the" rank and file, although th.e Wilson men, by making alight against his nominees., were he to capture the party organization, might do Inestimable damage. No party can suc ceed that Is factlonally torn and divided. Many Republicans earnestly hope that 111 two years the party can be rid of quarrels, although how It will be done is difficult to .foretell. Oj&cial Tote of Lewia Coaaty. CHEHALIS, Wash., Nov. 20.

Senator George C. Browncll has prepared a bill to be Introduced at the next session of the Legislature, providing for the election of district assessors In the various coun ties, to take the places of the present County Assessors. The bill provides that these Assessors shall be elected at the general eioctfon ln June, at the same time othe? county officers are elected; also that at the meet ing of the County Court in January, and whenever thereafter it shall be deemed advisable, as many assessment districts within each county as the County Court shall deem convenient, necessary and proper, shall be established. The appoint ment of officers shall also be left to the discretion of the court. District Asses sors shall possess the same power, au thority and prerogatives, and perform the same duties, as are now exercised and performed by the County Assessors. The bill--will require that fte District Asses sor be elected Tor 4 term ot two years, and that his term ot office shall begin oa the first Monday In January. The rea son that the bill provides for the elec tlcm of district instead ot precinct As sessors is done so that the act will con form with the requirements of the state constitution. Senator Brownell has also prepared a bill relating to the exemption of the earn ings of judgment creditors. This measure will provide that the earnings of a judg ment creditor for personal services, per formed by such debtor at any time within 30 days next preceding the service of an attachment or garnishment of said earn ings shall not be included In the. Judg ment that may be rendered in such ac tion against said debtor, when it shall be made to appear by the affidavit of such judgment debtor, or otherwise, that such earnings are necessary for the use of the family guDported wholly or partly by the labor of said debtor.

CATARRH -E&affii Suggestions in Time. ! ., a...i i .! Wfiat a Woman of Prominence In the Medical World Has to Say About Her Sex. What Afe Women's Rights? In all ages ot the world, poets, scientists, and men ot orominenc iiave looked with enthusiasm often akin to reverence usoa woman; but It is only within the last few years that she has begun to assume her rlght place, not only in society, but with the world In general. Why so d&slrSbie an end should havo been so long delayed If IS difficult to understand, but that- it bas at last comet is certainly- eause for gratitude. In 'her social sphere, in her mental development, and especially la her physical Improvement, woman has shqwn wonderful advancement,, aad such aa astonishes the world, Th6y who have made a careful lnYeatl gauon tell us that heathen women are much mora able to endure pain than are the Yfomen of civilization, but civilised women, would resent the charee thai they ,aro weaker because they are civilized, A dlstlnmiished writer sftttit? "If thn .'sfcomeft ot Civilization are lass able t endure the taxation of their physical resources than are heathen women, ft is a mere accidental circumstance, and ona TfUhin tlielr controir Let us consider for a moment the .possi bilities which present themselves to- every woman. When the body Is healthy, beauty Is certain to appear, even In feat ures and forms once plain; Indeed, It Is the only known way to become beauti ful, and all nrenaratlons. nowders and places are contemptible delusions. With health and beauty to all their attractive ness a new life dawns. ENJOYMENT BEGINS", Ahd all the luxurious attendants of a healthy body come forth. The maiden feels the glorious possibilities ot life; tha eur ot maternity and tha Joys ot a family. All this is not only woman's privilege, it Is her duty, and It, embodies the highest definition of "Woman's Rights." After enumerating; many of- the bless ings that follow perfect health, the speak er continued. All .these desirable things can be accomplished, but in. one way only. The Creator has given both woman and man perfect physical forms, -and each Is con- i stltutionallv equal to all natural demands. it is a mistaken and pernicious notion 1 that one is strong and the- other weak. No curse was pronounded upon woman which did Hot apply with equal penalty f against man. If women believe the fatal Ism that disease is a necessary condition of their existence, it is chiefly because the disciples of the Schools of medical 'practice have been utterly Incapable of competing with the multitude of His. which, by personal carelessness or pro fessional incompetency, they have per mitted to- fasten upon women- A few weeks ago I received a call from a charming lady whose earnest face clear ly showed that she desired advice and assistance. Upon questioning her. she stated that she believed she was suffering from a paralyzed liver, and wished to know If I could In any 'way aid her recov ery. Now, imperfect as her statement was in regard to the disease which troubled her, there !s no doubt that THOUSANDS OF WOMEN" Are suffering today from similar troubles, -who do not recognise their cause so nearly as this lady did. Paralysis means death of the member paralyzed, and torpidity of the Irvelf is the flfst stage of Its dlssOlu- tlOn. This Is one of the most serlou ques tions that can arise In the experience of any woman, for a torpid ahd diseased liver cannot be cursd at once and it iCrank Gamnbel!
