On Year " rllaMnntrm Thrva Month f OCTOUKK 14. 1S97. All was not serene nt ti e first meeting of I lie council after lust week's election. The tegular meeting should lie taken place on Thursday evening, but as two members of the council were ab-ent au adjournment ns taken to Friday and again to Monday. Still there was Dot a full attendance hut it was deemed advis able to proceed with the business of the city. Tho resignation of F. W. Dillardaa member of the rouucil was accepted, at Thursday'! meeting, be bating been elected city marshal. It as then proposed t elect bis successor and the name of Dave bhambrook was proposed. At this point Councilman Moore left the ball, leaving but four count' ilmeu present. On Monday even ing Mr. Sbambrook was elected and sworn in. The treasurer, marshal and recorder received tbeir certiScates of election, tiled their oatba of office and oflici.il bonds and entered upon the dia charge of their duties. The question of lack of quorum was raised but an opin ion was obtained to the effect that fonr with the mayor constituted a majority Tuesday evening Schlbreda and Ben- sou, couacihueu elect, tiled t'ieir oath of cilice. Spreekles' Call ii about the only re publican newspaper that is violently op jMisitig the annexation of Hawaii, and it has iuite a following among tbe conn- try democratic press, such as the Colusa Sun, Woodland Democrat and Los An geles Herald, that always make it I point to oppose and condemn the acts of republican administrations, whether good, bad. or indifferent. It is quite probable, however, that but little atten tion will be paid to kicks from these sources, for it is well known that the great sugar king's opposition is for pare' ly "sugar" motives, and that the demo orwlio press, like tho uiule, Is actuated by hereditary and chronic tendencies lo kick at anything and everything in sight. The republicans of New York held a big ratification meetiDg at Cooper Union Saturday to further the candidacy of Geoeral Tracy. It is a pity the follow ing of Tracy and Low, both teeking the same end, namely, tbo rescue of tbe city from tbe cor r opt and corrupting prac tices of Tammany Hall, cannot compro mise on one of the two men. Either will command the respect and confidence of the people of America's greatest city. Neither represents vicious governmental Klicie8, or w as ever arrested for drunken and disorderly conduct. Salem w ill have a flax fibre mill. Ex perts have pronounced Oregon flax of excellent quality and we may become the rival of Irtiaud in tbe manufacture of linen. The credit for tbe interest taken and the progrees made in tbe cul tivation of flax is due largely to Mrs. Governor Lord. The town tL at now is without a public bowling alley must be small indeed. It is the rage j let low, as roller skating was secure of yearn ago. Liut bowling has the advantage of requiring but little capital to put in a plant and is a luxury therefore that small places can indulge. If the I'liion 1'acitic and short Line railroads, have patched up their differ ences ns reported from New Y'ork, it will put u etop to the big through freight business of the Southern Pacific, and u lu-iirrauguwciit of its freight schedules may he looked for. Tuinmauy fd evidently frightened.

Is lainiuany trying to appear moral? Hawaii will belong (o the I' tiled States probably before the end of the year. It would hu fitting for the L'uited States teuato to present the treaty rati flcatiou as a Christmas present lo Uncle tSiiu aud the Islanders. The revenues continue to increase. The Diogley bill will give a good account of itself w hen it gets a fair t bunco. Those anxious lo condemn are loo eager with their criticism. Too previous, so to speak. Uncle Baui had letter go down aud lick Nicaragua Hhu has violated (ho dual treaty aud is now flirting with Great Pritain. Surely Ibis is sufficient for a declaration of war. The following from the Salem Inih pendent, (pop) is copied approving? by ! the Kugeno Guard (dent) : "The Hon. J. 1'.. Pavid of Gilliam county has undertaken to argilo Lis case wilti rVcrrtarv Kinoaid.
