our latte lay namesake cf the fabled
deity of the many eyes of ancient
lavS must he satisfied with but a
brief correspondence for the present.
Last Thursday a large number of
our citizens assembled at the bury
ing ground upon Sequim Prairie to
witness the interment, and to do
honor to the remains of our departed
e low citizen, Mr.. John Ward. The
sadness ielt at the demise of Mr.
Ward is very general. He was in
deed man ia the truest sense of
the word; yes, one Of Natures
noblemen."
The threshing aud the shipping of
produce still goes IN briskly, and
the farmers speak hopefully of a
probable good return for their sum
mer work. Mr.. Meagher has con-
tracted for the sale of some $500
bushels of potatoes, raised upon his
farm during the past season, and has
chartered the scow-schooner Page

Tu,r INrrEEE1NUN-The next
Presidential Inauguration Day-the
4ih of March-falling upon the
sabbath, certain Of our eastern cx
changes are suggesting that for this
dav aloue-Nhen neither Mr.. Grant
nor his successor elect would seem
10 be President new man be Sc
lccted as President pro tenn, the Sc
lection to he made by and from the
United States Senate.
In relation to this matter, there
are many who feel that no prin-
ciple Of morality would necessarily
suffer should the President-elect take
his oath Of Office on the day set by
the Constitution, whether that day
fall upon Sunday or week day. Be
sides any other objection which
might be offered to this, however, is
the principle of law which regards
the Sabbath as =" dies non," when
considered in any business transac-
ton. Then, also, we have two pre-
cedents in our national history as
authority for permitting this day to
lapse without action in Presidential
iRaugurations. In l849 Mr.. Taylor
was inaugurated on Monday, March
5-the regular day having fallen on
Sunday-and in still earlier history,
in 1921, the same conditions prevail
ed in the Inauguration Of Mr.. Monroe.
The almanac-makers must have
been consulted in the choice of the
date, Marcn 4, as the time for Presi-
dental inaugurations. Perhaps the
venerable Franklin himself figured
out and selected this date, realizing
that on no other would Inauguration
day fall less often on Sunday.
In this century this day has fallen
upon Sunday in 1921 and in 1S49,
and will fall thereon once more next

enough to FLAP overs and ego
through" the next century will wit
ness the same coincidence at the in
auguration of Presidents in the years
1900, 1917, 1915 and 1878.
