A few days ago. the Chronicle whs obliged to rebuke the Wascom Sun for officious meddling with a little matter that in no way concerned it. The Chronicle thought that even if the Sun were an apologist of the Union Pacific it ought to have sense enough not to inter fere with a journal that was fighting honestly and sincerely for the interests of the people from whom, both papers largsly draw their support. The Sun has seen fit to reply in language so ut terly low and degrading that probably the annals of American journalism has never seen its parallel. The editor of the Chronicle thoroughly understands the animus of the attack. The Sun is owned and controlled by a little clique of politicians, the "rump" of a ring that has controlled the affairs of this county for a score of years and whose power was never so much as shaken till the Chron icle routed them, horse foot and dra goons, at the last city election. Another election is approaching, and the "rump" well knows that so longas the Chronicle is under its present management the ring has no favors to expect or receive. The editor of the Sun is the mouthpiece of the ring. It is well known that the paper has passed from undqr tne con trol of its original purchasers. It is no secret that when the Chronicle was in the thick of the late contest with the Union I'uuiuc the editor of the Sun was entreated by leading citizens, etock . holders and directors of the paper, to fall in lino and work for the people s interests. The request was refused, and during all the critical weeks when the success of the people's boats was trem bling in the balance that journal never opened its mouth except to apologize for the railroad company. To deny this charge is to fly in the teeth of facts and History Hie bun was tied hand and foot and dare not lift a finger against the enemies of the people. The "rump" con trolled it and hired the present editor to do their work. It is no secret that Mr. George P. Morgan was forced to give up the editorial charge of the paper be cause the management refused to pub lish articles he had written in defense of the people's rights as opposed to Union Pacific oppression. It is no answer to .these statements of fact to abuse the ed itor of the Chronicle, or say he is a can didate for a county office or that he was discharged from the management of the Chronicle or that he is a low-born cur -and a pitiful liar. All this abuse may puss. The facts as to the Sun remain if ' the editor of the Chronicle were seek ing to be president of the United States, as tired from the employ of the Chron icle Publishing company and was the meanest man on earth. But the editor -never was discharged from this or any Dther employment. The charge, how ever, is not new. We have heard it be fore and allowed it to go uncontradicted j because we were unwilling to drag mat ters before the public with which they were in no way concerned. When th Sun would hold up the editor of Chron icle to public contempt as one who was ignoiuinously kicked out of the service of the Chronicle and then-begged to be taken back, it is perhaps time to speak. The statement is false 'in every detail. From the first hour we took charge of this journal :ill the present moment there lias never been a misunderstand ing between the editor and board of di rectors. - He was never discharged, and never requested to resign. .The condi tions of the office at one time were such 'that he refused to conduct the paper un less they were removed.' The desired change was made and the editor was re quested to return to his work. There 'was nothing in the resignation or the yeturu that was not honorable both to the editor and the board of directors. The Sun will have to look somewhere else for capital for contempt. In seek ing to injure the Chronicle the effort will recoil npon itself. .A paper that does not command the respect of the men who sunk their money in it is not likely to get much respect from the out side world. A ' paper which is low enough to become the organ of the "ruiup" or that would becoma the open apologist of the Union Pacific, for the sake o' a little advertising or a few cheitp paKi-s is nut worthy cf ri-njx'ct and woi.t jet any. KORTHWEBT HIWS. New papers in the state are the Church Neu-t at Olympia and the Clipper at West Ferndale. The official survey of the channel at . Grav's Harbor shows sixteen feet at mean low water The street car line of Fairhaven and New Whatcom will be completed in about thirty days. The sheriffs of countiesin Washington and Idaho will meet in convention in Seattle some time in February. Greatexcitement prevails at Anacortes because the city council recounted the votes cast at the recent election, throw ing but 64 ballots, counting out the suc cessful candidate and declaring six of their own number re-elected. The people of Ritzville 'are strenuous in their efforts to secure the erection of a court house, but the farmers of the county are as strenuously opposed to burdening tne taxpayers witn. any more taxes than they aj ready have. Indian Agent Hal Cole says the full list of Indians on theCoeurd' Alene res ervation has been forwarded to Wash ington, and he hopes the $100,000 due the tribe for the ceded portion of their reservation will be sent to them very soon. While J. P. Ryan was going to Astoria from his ranch on the Walluski, he found a man lying dead in the road. It was Elmer Parsons, a Nehalmet rancher, who drank too deeply in Astoria, went to sleep on the road home and perished from exposure. Orlando Evans, Berry Evans and Pat Wall, of Elgin, are in the countv jail at Union, charged with grand larceny The opinion prevails about Elgin that they are the leaders of a gang organized for the purpose of pillaging the settlers' houses in the Looking Glass country on Grand Ronde river, below Elgin. A number of houses have been broken into and furniture, bedding, clothing, etc, taken. Thev were taken before Justice Burleigh, and on examination held in the sum of 500 each. Berrv' and Or- lands Evans are father and son. Unlman & Co., of San Francisco, have brought suit against Parsons & Linton, of Lane county, to recover about $3000 on a hop contract; A year ago last fall Uhlman & Co., contracted earlv in the season for fhe crop of hops raised by these gentlemen. Later in the season the price of hops raised considerably and the hops were again contracted" this time to another firm, The amount sued for is the difference between the contract price of the hops and their value at the eelling tim. C. O. Bean, who had made a prelimi nary survey for a water supply from the Green river for Tacoma, says he has found gravel with logs buried therein far up the slides of the Puyallup arid White river banks. This leads hiui to believe that the channels of those rivers have in former years tjeen filled to a much greater depth t'aan the present genera tion knows anything about. Floods causing such swelling of the volume of water above indicated, Mr.- Bean be lieves, have changed the channels of the rivers in numerous instancee, and he refers to the fact that the White river is at Slaughter fifty feet above parts of the surrounding valley. Fixed to the Kail by Electricity. A very peculiar case of shocking by electricity occurred in Shelbyville re cently. The victim was William Lou den, who works at the Hotel Bay. In front of the hotel is an iron veranda running to the third story. An electric wire passes from the street into the room occupied by George Goulding in the hotel building. This evening when the electric light was turned on a heavy rain was falling. The electricity appar ently had heavily charged the iron ver anda. Louden came out of the hotel and stood with his back against the iron railing. In an instant he was shocked and fixed in his position. His frightful yells attracted a big crowd. Charles Huffman ran out of his store, and, touch ing Louden, was also badly shocked. Louden finally fell on the 'sidewalk. The two men' are badly burned. Cor. In dianapolis Journal. ' Almost Drowned In Sawdust. Men have lost their lives in quick sands, but seldom, if ever, has any man come nearer sinking down to death in quick sawdust than did Merchant Tailor E. W. Batzle, of "Williamsport. Walk ing along eight or ten . yards from the river bank, npon what he did not know was made ground almost entirely com posed of sawdust, he began to sink be fore he realized any danger. After he had gone down to his waist, and could Lnot regain the shore, he removed his Trorjer garments and Threw inmself as fast as possible out into the river, -where he struck wading ground and made his way in the water around the treacherous sawdust tract. Cor. Philadelphia Rec ord. ' " - Made Thine lively. Although the district school in Hoi--loway, Conn., was tightly closed during the vacation, there was one caller that kicked up a rumpus. It was a thunder bolt, but where it entered can only bo ! conjectured. During its short stay it ! passed through a wide range of studies, , including spelling, reading, grammar, j arithmetic and geography. Besides throwing new light upon the books treating On these subjects, it tore up the floor, splintered the desks and in its ex citing exit carried off part of the win dow sash. Yankee Blade.
