MEDDLERs.- Olympia Echo says:
"Several correspondents and individu-
ais have Of late inquired of us if we
know anything about a consolidation OF
the Courier and Dispatch. We do not.
1t is none of our business, and we do
not care to meddle with the business OF
the owners of the offices in question.
Are our correspondents answered."
The editor exhibits trait in the fore
going comments which cannot be too
highly commended. The simple mem
ton of matter of public interest such
as the contemplated consolidation OF
two public journals, is legitimate and
proper. 1t only becomes mean and
disreputable when persons who have no
business with the matter seek clandes-
timely to obtain information relating
exclusively to the private business affairs
of the publishers, for the purpose OF
meddling with or misrepresenting the
same through malicious motives, as has
the literary medicant who is temporarily
employed to write the prosy platitudes
which fill the leading editorial column OF
our city contemporary, to the special de-
lectation of the Tacoma Tribune and
the Kalama Beacon; the trio forming a
mutual admiration society of fossilized
Bohemians. Fortunately for us, none
of them enjoy sufficient public conf
dence to give any damaging effect to
their malicious intent.

" There's no end to the unpleas-
antness of friendly and ceremonious
calls. The etiquette of calls involves
more white lies than anything else in
the world, and it has been getting in the
way of woman in Hartford who want
ed to hang herself. Three seperate times
did she make ready for the agreeable
performance, and as often did people
come ringing at the door, visiting and
interfering with all her arrangements,
and Encouraging her generally. She
says, sadly thatit is impossible to hang
one self comfortably in Hartford with
out neglecting some of ones friends.
Observe the heartlessness of rodern
society!-N. Y. Tribune.

The CRUSADE AGAINST KING ALCOHOL.
The Webfoot Sc loon was besieged by
a large number of ladies yesterday after
noon, who, Notwithstanding the din of
gongs and other vile instruments. stood
their ground until nearly 6 o'clock
Water was poured over and under them,
but it created no visible effect, and it
seemed as if the matter had resolved
itself into question OF endurance be-
tween the two contending parties. The
scene attracted an immense crowd of
people, and when bar r-keeper named
Good SO far forgot his manhood as to
use profane and opprobrious epithets
toward the ladies, he was quickly knock
ed down by q muscular man Lard by.
A general row seemed imminent for a
few moments, but the knocking down of
a few of the more hot-blooded partici-
pants ended the affair.
This morning the ladies assembled in
full force with camp-stools and lunch
baskets, and quietly sat down in front
of the saloon and renewed the attack.

A Soc1ABLE GOVERNOR. Governor
Powell, of Kentucky, was never an ora
tor, but his conversational storytelling
and social qualities were remarkable.
His great fort lay in establishing a per-
sonal intimacy with every one he met,
and in this way he was powerfulin elec-
tioneering. He chewed immense guam
ties of tobacco, but never carried the
weed himself, and was always begging
it from every ore he met. His residence
was in Henderson, and in coming up the
Ohio past that place gentleman over
heard the following characteristic anec-
dote of him:
A citizen of Henderson, coming on
board, fell into conversation with pas
senger, who made inquiries about Pow
ell.
He lives in your place, I believe,
don't he p
"Yes, one of our oldest citizens"
Every sociable man, amt he?"
" Remarkably SO"
"Well 1 thought so, think he is one
of the most sociable men ever met in
my life-wonderfully sociable. I was
introduced to him over at Grayson
Springs last Summer, and he hadn't
been with me ten minutes when he beg
ged all the tobacco I had, got his feet
up in my lap. and spit all over me-re-
markably sociable.''

PARTY CoNsIsTENCY.-Thec consistency
and reliability of party newspapers is
well illustrated by the character of the
assaults made by the partisan journals
upon the candidates upon the Indspen-
dent ticket for State officers in Ore gon.
One Democratic paper says, in the
course of very disparaging remarks upon
all the Independent candidates: 81. II.
Douthit, of Cchoco, a gentleman who
can hardly write his own name, is put
onthe ticket for Secretary of State"
The Portland Ne,cs, the leading organ
Of the Democratic party, says of the
same candidate: "He has held the
Craftsmanship of the Democratic State
Central Committee one or more terms,
and was always conspicuous and active
in and about Democratic Conventions.
We believe that he was elected to the
County Clerkship of Linn county upon
that ticket" The same paper further
says: eft would be difficult to find
another man so totally unfit for the
Office as Uncle Jimmy Douthitt.
There could hardly be more DANA
ging reflection upon the intelligence and
management of the Democratic party in
Oregon than the foregoing. What! a
man who can h ,rdly write his own name
nominated and elected to the most re-
sponsible and difficult Office to fill in
one of the most populous and wealthy
counties of the State! A man so totally
unfit for office that it would be difficult
to find a worse anywhere-the insane
asylum and the penitentiary not except
ed-holding the chief executive Office of
the Democratic State organization; an
Office which at least rank with the Gov
ernor in dignity and ability What eyi-
dence can these party journals present
that the Democratic party is any more
intelligent and honest. or that Uncle
Jimmy Douthitt" is any more ignorant
or degraded than when he was the hon
ored official head of the party, and held
the most responsible official trust in his
county?
This is only an instance of the uni
form bias and prejudice of party organs.
As rule, they are utterly unreliable in
all matters touching the personal merits
of candidates. We served with Mr..
Douthitt in the Democratic party in
Oregon, and with the best wishes for
the prosperity of the State, we should
rejoice to see men of his stamp in the
control of the government of that State.

NEXT DFLEGATE.-The Walla Walla
Spirit OF the Vest, in specializing upon
the subject of the next Delegate to Con-
gress, claims that by right the next Del
egate should come from that side of the
mountains, and mentions among the
candidates, Gen. Edward Shiel, Daniel
Stewart and J. 9. Smith, on the part of
the Grangers. and W. II. Newell, N. T.
Cation, ]. Il. Lasater, W. A. George and
j. R. Lewis, as supposable candidates
of the old political parties.
We shall not dispute the local claim Of
our eastern fellow citizens, though hav>
ing an equal right and an equal interest
with them in the character of our COM
mon representative, We shall insist upon
the right OF voice in choosing between
them, and failing to agree upon man
of the requisite qualifications, and un-
exceptionable to either section, then to
drop mere local considerations in the
selection, the main purpose being to
secure an able, faithful and impartial
representative of the best interests of
the whole; one who will give his best
efforts to the promotion of every meas
ure calculated to unite the east and the
west by such public improvements as
we'll secure to the two divisions of the
Territory an interchange of their varied
productions and to the whole the full
benefits of its own unparalleled resour-
ces. Were We disposed to urge local
claims, we could furnish more than one
such man in Seattle, who under the
pressure of present dominating local in
terests, would carry King county by an
almost unanimous vote, in spite of party
or personal issues. But we forbear, in
full confidence that our own local inter-
ests conflict in no manner with the in
terests of any other portion of the Ter.
ritory. But we shall insist as condi-
tional to the support Of the people of
Puget Sound, that the candidate, COM
ing from whatever section of the Terri
tory he may, shall not be an Oregonian
in his interests and sympathies, nor an
attorney or secret agent of the o. S. N.
Co., nor a confidential friend and sup
porter of the North Pacific Railroad
Land Ring, all of which are deadly hos
tile to the best interests of the people Of
Washington Territory, especially to that
portion of it bordering upon Puget
Sound.
1t seems strange to US that among the
numerous possible candidates named
for the section east of the mountains,
no allusion is made to one of their most
honored and distinguished citizens;
man better known throughout every
portion of the Territory than any other
citizen of the same, and honored and
respected wherever known. by men of
all parties and conditions in life, for his
many manly virtues, his liberal public
benefactions, his universal benevolence,
his warm sympathies with the people in
every measure calculated to promote the
general welfare. and above all, for his
incorruptible integrity, which we have
never heard any man question; very
rare exception to our public men as
rule. After this description it is not
necessary to name Hon. Edward S.
Kearney as the man to whom we allude.
We do not nominate Mr.. Kearney as a
candidate; we have no authority to do
&c; no knowledge that he ever had any
aspirations for the position, and not the
