sisippi, to the Senate is the subject for
congratulations by all conservative
thinkers. His splendid eulogy of Sum-
ner, and his conservative action in the
House have. secured him respect of north
ern men of all classes. and his advent
in the Senate will be hailed as dawn
Of a new era. when the south will have
men of ability and honesty to care for
her interests.
The foreign news of the week is in
teresting. The election for Senators
in France resulted in the triumph of
the Moderate Republicans, who have q
clear majority over all the factions.
Count Andrassy's note to the Sultan OF
Turkey has been adopted by the great
Powers. and the reforms demanded by
him in Turkey will have to be accorded.
The Turkish question may yet give rise
to complications that will result in a
general European war, in which Ger
many will demand tho German provin-
ces of Austria. and compensate Francis
Joseph by giving him Hungarian and
Sclavic empire that will contain all the
Danubian provinces, including the
mouth of the great river. 1t is not
known what the Russian bear will say
to this. It is however certain that Bis
marks policy toward the Catholic
church is changing, and this looks as if
he were strengthening himself for a
great contest. Time will tell.

WHY WAR Is PROBABLE AT AN EARLY
DAY.

Many reasons concur to convince
every candid observer that war between
the United States and Mexico is proba-
BILE at very early day. This is so be-
cause:
/. President Grant finds it necessary
to have foreign war as an element to
his third-tem platform.
III. The majority of the Republican
party, being convinced that their defeat
in the election of President is other
wise we'll nigh inevitable will cordially
support Grants plan of making such n
war.
III. The power which the Admins.
tration exercises upon public opinion,
and the power of the Republican party,
will thus be combined in bringing on
the war.
Nv. The raids, incursions, and out
RACES which lawless Mexicans along the
Rio Grande have for years kept up
against the people of Texas, furnish an
occasion for peremptorily beginning
such war.
V. The inability of Mexico to pay
the large sums OF money which are
found by the Mexican Claims Commits
sion to be due from her to citizens of
the United States, will afford I'm addi-
tional pretext and occasion for HOSTILE
ties. She cannot pay, and we will pay
ourselves.
vi. The Democratic party will pc in
favor of such war, not merely because
the United States will be involved in
it through the action of Gen. Grant,
and patriotism will require that the war
be sustained, but also because Texas, a
Democratic State, is specially interest
ed, and will expect to be speedily ben
Gifted by the expenditures of the war
and by its results.
VII. All manufactures, merchants,
dealers in provisions, people out of
employment, men of business suffering
for want Of business, workingmen with
out work. will oil conceive or believe
that war will restore prosperity, set la
borers to work, give them profitable
contracts, and make everything lively
and prosperous again.
VIII: The prospect Of getting pos
session of the rich mineral regions of
Northwestern Mexico, with their fabu-
lous treasures of gold and silver, and
the prospect of annexing the plains of
Tampaulipas and removing the frontier
from the Rio Grande down to the
mountains, will appeal strongly to the
imaginations of the people generally,
and will rally even the Indifferent
around the flag of conquest when Gen.
Grant raises it aloft.
Here are plenty of reasons, and good
strong reasons, too, why war with
Mexico will be got into active operation
some time before the meeting of the
Republican National Convention.

brief visit to Kalama just as this issue
of the paper went to press, and con-
sequently were unable to give it
much personal supervision. Our friend

articles will be read with great interest,
as he but seldom allows the glimmer of
his genius to shine through the colum ms
OF country newspapers. "Jeems" ac-
cept our thanks for favors rendered.

EvERYB0DY's BUSINESS,

The County Commissioners, upon the
application of the Trustees of the town
of Olympia have indicated their read
mess to extend the time for the COM
pletion of the Olympia and Tenino
Railroad-limited in the original con-
tract to July next--providing that re-
sponsible parties can be found to un-
dertake the work ON or before the first
Of August. So the county subsidy ma y
still be considered available.
It seems to us that with the bonus
there would be no real difficulty in
carrying this much talked of improve
ment to completion if the. work is gone
about with proper energy and in the
right way. Everybody has been say
ing, for the last two years that we
need the road and must have it, and
those who should be the best posted in
such matters in the main agee, that it
would be paying investment from the
day of its completion.
If this is all true, why is the road
not built? We think that the answer
is obvious. LIST. We have not the local
capital to do it with; and second, we
have never taken the rational means to
obtain capital from abroad for the pur-
pose. 1t is notorious that everybody's
business, however much it may be
talked about, is rarely if ever we'll at
tended to, and this Olympia and Tenino
Railroad is strictly OF that class. 1t
has been carried ON from its inception
by everybody. Everybody worked on
the grading, nearly everybody voted for
the subsidy, and those who did not,
will bear the proportion Of the burden
willingly for, as they soy everybody is
equally interested. Nearly everybody
at one time and another has acted as
director, on the principle of course
that there should be division of labor
and responsibility in what concerns
everybody alike. After this, the business
fails for the reason that it can be car
ried no farther without special exertions
for which few persons are qualified and
which none could reasonably he expected
to make without some stronger incen-
tive that common interest in The sue
cess OF the enterprise, for man is so con-
stituted that in general he will sooner
go without his own dinner than share
it with the shirk who will not help cook
it.
1t seems to us that the right step
would be to engage some proper per-
son to lay our enterprise before those
who have the means to undertake it.
II it can be shown by figures that the
ioad will pay fair interest upon the
required capital it can readily be OBJ
tanned. This service would of course
have to be paid for, and we think that
everybody would again come to the
front with q subscription for the pur-
pose.

. OUR NEW PRESS.

We effected the purchase few days
ago, from the Kalama Beacon Office, OF
fine power press, upon which here
after the STANDARD will be printed. 1t
is one of the largest size of Potter
presses, capable of printing a nine
column paper, n larger sheet than will
be required in Olympia for the next
ten years. 1t has scarcely seen
months steady usage, and is in all res
poets equal to one just from the manu-
factory. Our paper has been, the past
year, printed on Taylor Cylinder, be-
longing to the Courier office, but it has
become too old an institution to longer
wear borrowed" plumes. or to appear
in the background in this age OF pro-
gress and improvement. With the
steam fixtures recently added to our
facilities, we are far in advance of the
business requirements of this place, but
we feel confident that the time will
come when they will be valuable aux
iliaries to the development of our local
resources.
Mr.. and Mrs. Money, from whom
we purchased the press only sold be-
cause they have no immediate use for
it, intending to replace it by one of the
same make as soon as needed, which
it is anticipated will be in few months.
They have recently added two beautiful
Nompariel presses to their office,
which was already one of the largest
and best north of San Francisco.
Specimens of their work, challenge the
admiration of the craft.

SURRENDERED. Mrs. N. B. Ste
vens, who was charged with an at
tempt to burn the Trotter House
several weeks ago, and palced under
$1,000 bonds, was re-arrested on
Friday evening at the request OF
her bOndsmen. 1t is claimed that
she agreed with the bOndsmen to
remain away until the time for the
trial. She returned last Wednes-
day, for the purpose as she claims
of getting some of her things.
Soon after pressure was brought to
bear upon the bOndsmen to have her
committed to Jail, by some of the
real estate owners, as the insurance
companies, so claimed, had decided
to cancel the insurance policies on
buildings near the TrOtter House.
In consequence of this pressure her
bondsmen issueda bail piece on Fri.
day and procured form Judge Ten
ney warrant directed to special
officer ID. w. Cobb for her immedi.
ate arrest and commitment to Jail
at Chelsea. The effect of the arrest
was such that it was deemed impru.
dent to remove her to Chelsea, a
distance of about % miles. She re.
manned at the Trotter House under
keepers until Monday when she was
taken to Jail.
On Wednesday evening, Mr..
and Mrs. Stevens returned from
Chelsea. Mr.. A. q. Bates of Rut-
land became her bOndsman.
