THE NECESSITY FOR RAILROAD CON.
NEOTI0N.

The following extract from a letter
written by Judge McFadden to citizen
of this place, indicates the importance
be attaches to a speedy construction of
the Oily mpia-T enino Railroad:
am glad to see that you are moving
strongly in Olympia for railroad con-
nection. 1t is the only thing which can
save us. Railroad connection at Te-
nino will enable us in short time to
project marrow guage" down the
rich valley of the Chehalis and for that
purpose Olympia is the natural outlet.
Without railroad connection, Olympia
cannot stand still. She cannot go for
ward, even slowly. She must retro
grade, and in few years her dilapi-
dated dwellings will become the fit abode
for O,cls.
see by the papers you have some
wranglng among you, and what the
special differences are, 1 know not;
but this I do know, you need unity of
effort, and then it will tax the energies
of all to succeed. We should learn a
lesson from our friends at Seattle, in
their great undertaking, where private
grief is buried for the public good.
The great and pressing demand Of the
day is more railroads and more rivers,
and if Washington Territory progresses
as she should, and as the great elements
of wealth within her limits, lying un-
developed would seem to Justify, it
must to great extent be through the
agency of railroads, and the develop
ment of our rivers. We want emgra-
ton, we want capital, but we cannot
expect either unless We have means for
cheap and rapid transportation. We
are SO remote from the great centers OF
population, as well as of capital, that
it will require the united energies of all
our people to make our Territory what
she should be, and what she can be I'M
der the combined influence of labor and
capital.
will try and do my share for you,
enterprise, and as far as my labors here
are concerned, I will do for your road
all that can be done, and this will dc
as well for the other sections eff the Ter.
ritOry.

Work ON THE RALRoAD.-About three
hundred men have been at work on the
Olympia-Tenino Railroad the past two
days, and the grading is now completed
to the farther edge of Bush Prairie. A
force of about forty men has likewise
been at work on the Tenino end, and
have graded upwards of half mile.
The progress thus far has been exceed
ingly encouraging. 1t is only necessa-
ry to keep up the lick" another month
to prepare the road-bed for the ties.
The enterprise of our people elicts the
profound admiration of other commu-
mites. The Walla-walla Statesman, in
abiding to the subject, closes as fol-
lows: If any place deserves railroad,
we think that in the face of this show
ing, Olympia is that community. The
enterprise they have shown is highly
commendable and worthy of imitation. -

FATAL RESULT OF RESISTING AN OFF1-
CERT appears that Tacoma is bound
to attain an unenviable reputation in
many ways. Resisting officers in the
discharge of their duties has been a
favorite diversion of a portion of her
population, and it appears that the last
attempt has been attended with loss of
life. The Tacoma brewery was recent
ly seized by officer Kahlow under an at
tachment, and subsequently the brewer
and man named James Downey at
tempted to remove some of the effects
covered by the process OF law. The
officer in his efforts to restrain them
was attacked, and in self-defense struck
Downey on the head, inficting wound
from which he has since died. It is
thought that Mr.. Kahlow was amply
justified in the act.

D1ssoLvED.-It will be seen by refer
ence to another column that the firm OF
C. Crosby & Son have dissolved part
nership, the business being continued
by the junior partner, Mr.. W. F. Cros-
by. This change was rendered neces-
sary by declining health of the retiring
member, who of late has become ex-
ceedingly enfeebled by age. We are
glad to observe that "Billy," although
barely beyond the age of majority, has
exhibited a business capacity that will
enable him to successfully manage the
extensive operations which have come
under his sole control. The public will
join with us in wishing him continued
prosperity.

SuRRENDERED.-R. j. Ladd, the de-
faulting school clerk of Multnomah
county, Oregon, gave himself into the
charge of the proper officer at Oakland,
Ogn., few days ago. For five and q
half days not a mouthful Of victualf
did he have, spending his time in wan
dering to and fro in the woods. He
waved an examination at Portland, and
gave bonds for So, 1000 to appear before
the next Grand Jury.

The above item from our California
contempory indicates that, in this in

enchantment to the view. California

too shrewed to be caught by such un-
skillful anglers as the Tacoma land
ring.

THE TEMPERANCE ALLIANCE.

In response to call issued by the
several Temperance organizations, con-
vention of the friends of temperance
was held in Tacoma Hall, on Wednes-
day, the 18th inst. The attendance was
fair and on Alliance" was affected for
the whole Territory, without much diff
Guilty. The basis of alliance is supposed
to be union Of politics and piety, as
hobs to the temperance kite. At the af-
ternoon session, the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year: Pres
ident, Rev. G. F. Whitworth; Cores
ponding Secretary, w. H. Goddard;
Recording Secretary, J. H. Munson;
Assistant Secretary, Mrs. Amelia Gid
dings; Treasurer, c. H. Hale; Chap
lain, Rev. L. T. Woodward. At the
evening session, after the order of bus
mess was through, it was proposed to
turn the meeting into some sort of a
cold water jolliication, at which every
body could relate his experience and
all rub each others backs in token of q
amity and friendship. Everything pro-
crossed we'll, until an unruly brother,
who had probably been forgotten in the
fraternal demonstrations, arose and
commenced vigorous criticism of the
action of the Alliance, in admitting pol
itics and woman suffrage Ms possible ad-
juncts of the temperance cause. He
was in favor of women doing the pray
ing, but maintained that men should
do all the voting. A clerical brother
expressed regret that any body should
cast a fire-brand into the body at that
late hour, and censured such conduct
as unbecoming in one who had the cause
at heart. This brought the unruly
member again to his feet, and he pro-
ceeded to express his feelings in rather
plain language, and revived some very
unpleasant "reminiscences of the manner
in which temperance men had been bri-
died, saddled and ridden by designing
politicians belonging body and soul to
the whisky ring. The gentleman was
interrupted by loud and vigorous raps
of the gavel. Several of the brethren
now put in an oar, when the soothing
influence of music was invoked to calm
the pertrubed spirits Of the antagonis-
tic elements. Soon as the choir con-
cluded the hymn, amotion was made to
adjourn, and further effevescence was
securely corked and wired down. We
never before realized the important part
music is made to perform by our tenn
perance friends, in calming down the
antagonisms of forensic combat. Their
action Wednesday evening indicated
that they were adopts in this novel
manner. of soothing the troubled waters.

A ROSE BY ANOTHER NAME.

a hUOb b1 ANUI066 HA4E.
II appears that the crusaders Of this
this place have materially changed their
plan of operations and virtually raised
the siege against the saloons. It is now
called "street preaching" and the ex-
PLANTATION is made that it is only intend
ed as q means of reaching by prayer
those who do not 60 to church. The
gradations of feeling through which the
crusade has already run, may be in
ferred from the circumstances under
which it has been conducted. The first
announcement was that services would
be held in the saloons, and arrange
ments were made for a regular, or
thodox, Ohio crusade. A few days af-
forwards, the programme was changed
and the services we're held on the side
walk in front of the saloon, instead of
inside; and the next demonstration, one
week later, was made in front of Mr..
Horr's furniture store, the width of a
street from any saloon. Itappears from
each successive move, that the zeal and
fervor under which the measure origin
ated was fast on the wane, and if it
continues to do so, two or three more
moves will place these religious exercises
where they properly belong, in the
churches, erected by the saloon-keepers
as we'll as others, for the special purpose
of worship.
If the crusaders really wish to preach
to those who never attend any church,
We think that their place of operations
is selected with very poor judgment.
As far as our observation extends, we
give it as deliberate opinion that the
frequenters of saloons are, as class,
church-goers, while score or more Of
our Oldest residents and most respected
citizens are seldom seen in saloon and
never at church. If the crusaders now
state the real object Of the movement,
to be consistent they should visit these
recalcitrant individuals, and try the ef-
fects of little wholesome, we'll directed
muscular prayer upon their almost i'm
pervious hides. They should be taken
singly, and made the focus of every
ray of righteousness, and in rotation,
SO that all may have chance of reform
alton. It is said that there is great re-
joicing over even one sinner who re-
penis.
The only apparent effect the crusade
has had, has been to increase the use of
liquor. The novelty of the proceedings
attracts crowd in front of the saloons,
and as soon as singing and praying
ceases the drinking and dissipation
commences. Sunday bids fair to be-
come fashionable day for spreeing, -
under the stimulus impaired by the &C.
ton of few very good but hot-headed
people. This fact is apparent to the
most casual observer. How the crusad-
ers reconcile this result with their ideas
of Providential Intervention, we are ut q
loss to determine. Our columns are at
their service for enlightenment.

The SEATTLE w ALLA-wALLA RAILROAD
The Dispatch alludes to the progress of
work on this great enterprise as follows:
d" Yesler & Co. have undertaken the
construction of five miles of road, in
Guiding all the piling and trestle work
from deep water across the mud fats of
Duwamish Bay, which they propose to
finish up in the shortest possible time.
The piles and sawed timber have all
been contracted for to be delivered as
fast as needed, and the work of::driving
the piles is being rapidly prosecuted.
The Renton Coal Co. will construct
three miles, and the other seven of the
first section of fifteen miles will be
chiefly graded by volunteer labor and
finished up by the Directors. The con-
struction of the fifteen miles il provided
for against any contingency, and there
will be no delay for want of MEANS"

OrR PUBLIC SCHOOLS Some time
ago, we advocated the exchange of the
Olympia public school house for the
Seminary building, and in view of the
facts that the County Commissioners
favor the proposition, and that Miss
Catlin has intimated her intention to
discontinue teaching at the end of the
current term, the present appears to he
q favorable time for the school authori-
ties and the public generally to consum-
mate the proposed arrangement. This
action would secure for the district an
excellent school house, without the ex-
penditure of single dollar, the en-
HANGED value of the school lots, on &C.
count of their central location, being
considered an equivalent for the differ
ence in value of the two buildings.
That the condition of the public school
house is such as to render it any longer
totally unfit for the purpose intended,
is known to all, and we sincerely hope
its doors will never again be opened TO,
school purposes. But little success will
ever attend our public schools until the
buildings, their interior arrangements
and surroundings, are such as circum.
stances demand. With the seminary
building adapted to our public school,
nothing would be required to make it q
fourishing institation. The public is
as much interested in the prosperity Of
the school as it is in the building of @
railroad. 1t is a want that must be sup.
piled, and that too at an early day
We, therefore, again urge our schooI
directors and citizens to use their en-
deavors to carry the proposed exchange
into effect.
