THE MESSAGE KEENLY CRITICISED.
Senator Wallace failed to find anything new in
the Presidents veto message and said that il re-
hashes the arguments of the opponents of the meas
ure and adds nothing to the strength Of that side.
The assertion of the President that some one had
said when the bonds being sold. that the bonds
were payable in gold, is, i'll Senator Waaces opin-
ION an alarming one TO find In a State paper,
in view Of the fact that the language both
of the law, and the bond expressly sets forth dit
ferent fact. The message did not seem TO him cor
rect in asserting that $225, 100000 of bonds were
sold for gold. He would like to know where
the gold is. He had supposed the bonds were
exchanged for other bonds Senator Wallace found
nothing striking either in the arguments or the
diction of the message.
Senator Jones, of Nevada, epoke of the message
as the worst fapdOOdle he had ever seen in State
paper. In his opinion 1t weaker than dishwa-
ter, and insipid beyond comparison. "Why," SAID
he, "dd he not put some fireworks in it There is
not epigraInmatlc sentence in il; not a rounded
period. lie might have put a few catch phrases in
IT, and got some praise from the New-YOrk papers,
but ii Will now be strange if any Of them praise 1t.
They have all set forth that side of the question
with more strength and directncss. IT is the worst
kind of wind" Senator Jones said that he had
heard several Senators who opposed the bill
press their disgust at the message.
Senator Herman was surprised and disappointed
that the message not a stronger document.
Another influential Senator who voted to sustain
tlr hill said that there was not country editor who
l9d not stated the case in better style and more
forcibly than the President bad done
Senator Kellogg said he thought the President in
the wrong, but admitted that the message was SIM
pie strong and dignifed. 1t was good presentation
OF the facts Oh that size. o.,
Senator Maxey said he knew Of no President VINO
had ever received such "a blow from Congress as that
administered TO Mr.. Hayes to-day. Ihe case of
Andrew Johnson was not analogous. There was an
overwhelming majority against Mr Johnson in both
Houses of Congress. iiut Mr.. Hayess party has
majority in the Senate, and the parties are. so
evenly divided in the House that neither
has any great advantage. The idea that both
Houses, III such short time, hardly waiting to
read the message, without a word of debate aud
with not even copy of the message in the hands Of
the members, should vote to pass the bill over the
veto was piece of disTospcct that will be long
membered. /; showed that the country was III

EDITOR ARGUs:-FOr the edification of
the many readers Of your valuable paper,
we would inform them that we still live,
move andGhave our being
We have just experienced one OF the
Seyerest storms of the season, in some
places the hail has covered the ground to
the extent of several inches. In other
places the rain has been one continuous
down-pour, and it is feared that in some
localities the injuries to crops are consid
cradle, on account OF so much rain.
The season SO far has been favorable for
dairy purposes, as there is abundance of
pasturagc. The supply Of milk at the
North Pacific creamery still increases.
Our enterprising firm here will effect
their first shipment of cheese this week
We feel confident that it will be uro-
nounced equal in quality to any cheese
manufactured in America; for by their in
flexible determination, nothing but an
article OF n first quality will be placed up-
on the market, so that purchasers may
confidently rely upon what they are pur-
chasing rs a first class article. Mr..
Fields, the superintendent of this estab-
lishment is gentleman of large expert
ence, having carried on the practice in
California and other places for number
OF years, thoroughly understanding the
business, giving general satisfaction both
to producers and consumers. We predict
success for this enterprise second to none
in the Territory of Washington. T.

PUGET SOUND ARGUS.
LOCAL ~ EWS.

Potato RAISING.-rhe Olympia Tran
.crpt' thinks our farmer, ought Ia br
convinced 10y This time that they cannot
raise too many potatoes. Looking at the
question from the standpoint of one who
has had years Of experience. aud watched
the markets since 1860 VIZ do not hesitate
to pronounce adverse to this advice. The
rule has been that ~ often ~ prices at
tAincd a point which rendered potato
raising highly profitable, n kind Of mania
has been produced which resulted in a
surplus amount being raised, bringing
prices down to almost nothing again. This
fact mainly explains the reason why the
value of potato crops varies 81 much.
I imc and again has this thing been re-
pcatcd on Puget Sound, as also elsewhere.
We have seen thousands OF bushels of fine
potatoes thrown to the hogs or allowed to
rot where they were pittcd simply be-
cause they were not worth shipping. The
farmer who raised them would I've almost
sure to entertain such a disgust that po-
tato raising on his land, except for table
Use, would be entirely discontinued until
an important advance in their market
value wOHld tempt to another venture.
But it is naturally asked, What is the
remedy for this irregularity 2" We main
tain that it does not lie in following out
the promptings of the idea that too many
potatoes cannot be raised; but, if a remedy
is sought, let it be found in Il settled policy
of each aud every farmer to devote Il re0-
sonable portion only of his land to potato
culture. This will insure the production
of limited quantity of potatoes in the
country and nothing beyond this; prices
will be more regular, and the producer
will not undergo SO great Il risk.

Reiss, in 1866, succeeded in transmit
ting musical tones and some spoken
words. Edison and Bell began expert
menting in this direction about the same
time, and each have succeeded in pro-
ducing that which is characteristic Of
them. Bells apparatus is the beautiful
realization of a theory, but too receptive
to ooutside or foreign electrical influences
to be effective in their vicinity, and it is
just there, in large cities netted with
electric circuits, that the telephone is of
value. Edison, using the regular bat
tery, has a direct force commensurate
with the work to be done and the for
eign influences to be overcome, and can
thereby give the volume Of sound, and
obtain the freedom from confusing eff
fects, which brings effectiveness and
marks his telephone with the practical
stamp of all his inventions.
Mr.. Edison is also perfecting an auto
matte translator which, when adopted,
will prove of great value towards cheap
ening telegraphy. 1t will enable one op
orator to do the work now done by two.
He is also engaged in perfecting sextu-
plex by means of which six messages may
be simultaneously transmitted over sin
gle wire; and lastly, he is at work on a
machine for recording the human voice
and reproducing it at any future time, by
which we may all be made to speak after
we are dead. This, ofcourse, seems al
most beyond the bounds of belief; yet it
has been already accomplished in part,
as many persons are ready to testify.

THE INVENTOR OF THE ELEC.
TRO-TELEPHONE,

From the February Number of the
chronological Journal We get the follow
ing sketch of the inventor of the Elec-
tro Telephone who proves to be an Ohio
boy, and who is still almost boy. The
article closes with a reference to a ma
chine which he was then engaged upon,
but which has since been brought to
such perfection that it is no longer re-
garded as an experiment. The sketch
of the inventor and the article which
follows describing the invention are
alike interesting reading:
Thomas Alya Edison, the subject Of
this sketch, was born in Milan, Erie
County, Ohio, on the 11ti of February
1S47, and is, therefore, scarcely thirty.

MISS MUSLIN APRIL FOOLS FIDO.

From the Wide Awake for April
Little Miss Muslin of Quintillion square
Wondered up and down stairs in th'
depths of despair.
Here it was All Fools Day, almost time
the sun set,
And no soul in the house had she Apri
fooled yet,
Her mother and sisters and grandmoth
er-all
Only laughed when she mentioned
That fly on the WALL"
And not even old Dinah, the cook, would
believe
In the chalk on her back" or the
mouse up her sleeve"
At length, wandering down to the lower
front hall,
Miss Muslins eye all at once happened
TO fall
Upon Fido, her Spitz dog, asleep on the
rug
"a handsome, but very ill natured young
pug)
rAhm she joyfully cried, "No'g know
what I'll do.
My dear Mr. Fido, I'll April fool yOt!
Let me see-what's the best way the
thing can be done?
Ho, no hol Now / have it. Oh, aCOnf il
be fun,
Il will go softly up to my room, and un'
screw
My lookingglass-just as I've seen father
do.
And Pll bring it and place it before
Fido's nose;
Then rll wake him up suddenly out Of
his dose,
So that, when he first opens his eyes to
look up, he
Will see, right before him, another white
puppy;
At least, he'll think. And in that way,
you see,
l shall just April fool him as nice as can
ben
So little Miss Muslin of Quintillion
square,
She went up to her room (taking very
good care
That no one should guess her intentions)
and then,
Having gotten the lookingglass, crept
back again,
And, by means of a hassock sat up on
the floor,
She was able to stand the glass upright,
before
Fido's nose. Then she stepped round
and trod on his tail
A mode of awaking him not likely to
fail.
Poor Fido thus reused from his blissful
repose,
Maybe dogs dream as sweet dreams as
ace do-who knows?)
Started up with growl and for just
half minute
He stood bristling before the glass, look-
ing straight in it,
Then he gave one fierce bark, and one
swift dash =
At the dog that he saw. Then there
came a loud crash,
And behold there the mirror in small
fragments lay,
While Fido in terror ran yelping away.
And little Miss Muslin of Quintillion
square,
Astonished and frightened, remained
standing there,
While the family all, when they heard
the loud clatter,
Came hurrying down to see what was
the matter.
"Hoity toity~ cried grandmother, heres
"a nice dido"
"Yes," gasped little Miss Muslin, "Pve
April fooled Fido."
81 should think" said her mother, cit
might be more true,
If you said, Miss, that FTdo had April
fooled gOu,'
