The only Republican Daily Newspapei n
Wasco County. .
FRIDAY.
- DEC. 18. 1896
EASTERN OFFICE 230 to 34 Temple
Court, N. Y. City. E. KATZ, Agent.
WJLIAM H. CLAGETT.
The dispatches announce that
Judge "William H. Clagett will be a
candidate for U. S. senator from
Idaho, to succeed Fred T. Dubois,
the present senator. Six years ago
Clagett, who was at that lime a Re
publican, made a strong fight against
Dubois for the senatorship, but was
beaten. Now he comes up as a Pop
ulist and stands a fair show for
election, that party by combining
with the Democrats outvoting the
Republicans.
Judge Clagett is ore of the most
flowery speakers on the coast, a law
yer of fair ability and a shrewd poli
tician. He was for a time the part
ner of Frank Ganahl, one of the finest
mining law3ers on the coast. The
firm was in business during the first
Cceur d'Alene excitement, with head
quarters at Murray, and were the
leaders of that remarkably brilliant
bar. Clagett is a hard fighter, and
if he does not win will make Dubois,
and all the other candidates know he
was around while the battle was going
on.
It is claimed that it costs the state
for taking convicts to the peniten
tiary $13,000 a year, and to convey
the insane about $15,000 a year, or
in round numbers for the two jobs
nearly $30000 a year. It is pro
posed to reduce this expense, several
suggestions being made, one of
which is to reduce the fees, and an
other to have the work done by reg
ular salaried officers, stationed at
Salem, who will go vo the different
99flPtife? after prisoners and the in
sane. It is probable tbe first plan
will be adopted, as there is a strong
sentiment against giving Salem any
more than it already has, though it
seems poor policy to be kicking at
the capital, when we epite ourselves
ODly by doing so.
Secretary Horbert Bays the battle
ship Texas is all iight, and has suf
fered bo more accidents than other
fehips of her class. He says, in effect,
that instead of it being the Texas,
it is the great American newspaper
that is rotten. Herbert knows what
he is talking about, only he does not
draw the line between the newspapers
and the Associated Press that fur
nishes the dispatches.
The Venezuelan government has
decided to accept the treaty made
for it by the United States in the
dispute with England over bounda
ries. There was some dissatisfaction
at first, but when the Venezuelans
examined into the terms of the ar
rangement they were more than sat
isfied with what the government had
accomplished for them.
Dennis Ryan, the St. Paul million
aire, was married at Spokane "Wednes
day to Miss Mary Campbell, also of
St. Paul. There is no record of the
marriage license, and as the cere
mony was performed at 5 o'clock in
the morning and the couple immedi
ately left for St. Paul, considerable
comment has been caused in Spo
kane's upper teridom.
The convention of the American
Federation of Labor, in convention
at Cincinnati yesterday,reaffirmed the
boycott against the Armour Packing
Co., and it was resolved to push the
boycott vigorously. The strike and
the boycott are both un-American,
but that is no reason why they
should not be carried on in America.
Maceo being alive, General "Wey
ler has ordered stopped all preprations
for the celebration of his death. No
measly Spaniard can outdo us, and
if Weyler . postpones the festivities,
we will postpone the 'obsequies.
"When Maceo reads the obituary
notices of himself, he will be glad
he is alive. -
President Cleveland had quite
good luck on his recent duck-shooting
trip to South Carolina, bagging
sixty-five of the birds in one day.
Cleveland generally hits what he
shoots at, no matter how high his
aim, missing only once, and that
when he missed the presidency in
1892.
The Cuban War is a grand thing
for some people. The dispatches
this morning stat thate a company of
250 men is being raised at Port An
geles, "Washington, to go to Cuba.
This affords them a long desired op
portunity to get away.. ,
