MOODY, the great revivalist, don't
believe in hell-fire exactly, although
it is quite evident from his dis
courses, that if he had had anything
to do with making hell, the fire and
birthstone element would not have
been wanting. The fact is, the old
fashioned hell is plainly of mans
construction; a place of torment
erected for his sinful neighbor, and
suggested by anything but the chan
table teachings of Christianity.

IT appears that the Republicans in
Maine are pursuing the same course
to prevent quorum of the Legisla-

to carry the State election. Swan
and Hartman, members of the House
were paid large sum to resign their
seats, and the money was accepted
to ensure full expose Of the infa-
mouse proceedings. Other mem
bers were approached with similar Of.
fers, and there does not appear to be a
vestige of doubt, from this reckless
course, that the other charges Of
corruption and fraud are true.

Give 1t a Fair Chance.

While in conversation with gen.
tleman from Portland few days ago,
he expressed his surprise that SO few
of our citizens have q good word to
say for our fair town. He had trav-
eled all over the coast and in the
Eastern and Middle States, but he
had never met with a community
more intent, apparently, upon Great
ing an unfavorable opinion of the
place and all its surroundings, than
some otherwise very fair-minded cit
liens of Olympia. He asked us the
cause .ef this morbid discomfort. We
could not answer. It appears to be
a chronic malady which no remedy
can remove, and we presume it
will have to run its course, the same
as the itch or other irritable skin dis
eases which afflict mankind. He
could see advantages which if util-
lied would bring the town into no.
tice, and he could enumerate re-
sources which would in time consti-
stitute the basis of solid und per-
manent growth, still their contem-
plation gave those malcontents no
pleasure.
While we can OF no solution to
the problem, weaLmit the pertinence
of the query. We simply assume
that it is one of those phenomenal
freaks OF human nature which owes
its origin to some subtle impulse of
our being unexplained in social eth
les, and let it 60 at that. It has
become a monomania tc court SYM
patty, just in the manner that
wounds and scars are sometimes o.
tentatiously displayed for a like OBJ
ject, although better impulse might
have suggested their concealment.
We see no reason why our people
should despond over anything more
alarming than the general depression
of business, which exists everywhere,
and this cannot endure forever, and
we are no more unfortunate than our
neighbors. Nor is it fair to place
the blame on the town, any further
than it is depressed and discour-
aged by this inct ssant grumbling.
We have the Capital. and may keep
it if we don't convince the remainder
of the Territory that we are unwor-
thy of that distinction. We have
thousands of acres of fertile land,
whose products will in time find
market here, if we do not drive it
away. We have q fine harbor, tho
best water-power in the Territory,
and unexhaustible oyster-beds! Tue
railroad, which has been o night
mare to some OF our people, has
not yet had an opportunity of fully
demonstrating its worth.
We know that our grumblers don't
mean half they say, nor do they
realize how unfavorably their COM
plainings impress others, for they
have built bridges and wharves and
improved streets at the cost of many
thousands of dollars, besides build
lug the railroad, in the past decade,
and in population and wealth we
have held cur own despite the panic
of hard times. What we want is a
little backbone in our intercourse
with strangers, and a general dis
position to put the best foot foremost
in the rivalry which must of neces-
sity exist between US and other
communities.
Think of this when next you talk
10 those whose good opinion is wor-
thy of respect.

Beets for Sugar.

One of the prominent farmers of
the Puyallup valley informs US that
preparations are now being made to
fully test the adaptability of soil in
that district for cultivation of the
sugar beet. He is convinced that
the thousands of acres Of beaver
dam bottoms will produce in abun-
dance beets suitable for the purpose.
and if his antici cations are not over
sanguine, we may expect soon. to
chronicle another never.failing re-
source upon which the residents of
that favored region can base their
future prosperity.
1t appears that while many DOR
tons OF California will produce beets
in great quantities, the soil is strong
ly inpregnated with alkali, which
renders the product utterly unfit for
making sugar, and this has been the
cause which has almost wholly sus-
pended beet-sugar manufacture in
that State. The large factories and
costly machinery, adapted for no
other use, lying idle, is a powerful
incentive for discovering and devel-
oping such tracts as will produce
beets of the necessary saccharine
qualities. All the encouragement re-
quired to ensure test of the capac-
ity of the Puyallup land, as we'll as
the quality of the product, has al
ready been given, and our informant
seems to think that there can be but
one result, decided verdict in IA
vor of the project.
The citizens Of the Puyallup val
ley seem ito be especially favored as
regards the production of commodi-
ties which command the world for
purchasers. The hop-crops, not
outstanding losses from shipwreck,
and q temporary depression of
prices, is to-day one of the thriving
resources of the Territory; the tobac-
co venture promises to be complete
success, if future efforts result as the
trial crops seem to indicate; and
now if sugar can be made another
article for export, as we'll as for
home consumption, the prosperity Of
our Puyallup neighbors is indeed
assured.

Our people have cause for congrat-
ulation that an occurrence which
threatened to he a serious misfor-
tune has about passed away with SO
few casualties aud so little loss and
suffering. The snow is now about

BAD FOR SToCKMEN.- X. Price,
says the Albany Democrat, received
a letter few days ago, written at
the Hackleman Ranch, on Camp
Greek, on The day before Christmas,
and it contained bad news for stock
men. Hackleman said that in his
neighborhood there was about II
inches of snow and that the mercury
ranged from ~ to rs degrees below
zero. Stock was doing very badly,
and horses had already commenced
dying. Hackleman started out once
on horseback to look after his cattle,
but it was so cold that after getting
about two miles from the house he
had to return. Mr.. Davis who has
lived in that locality for several
years, lately informed the editor of
that journal that the prospect for
s:ockmen over there is very dark,
and he expects to hear of a loss of
about half the stock. Advices from
up the Columbia show that the wea-

weak that the March weather will
make boneyard of the whole coun-
try.

MONDAY morning the warehouse
on Percival's wharf fell, from the
weight of accumulated snow. It
was new structure and was sup
posed to be safe, but gale from the
southwest sprang up and swept the
waves with such resistless force
against the wharf that the motion
soon loosened the stays of the roof
and of course it fell. Strange to
relate, none of the contents of the
warehouse were in the least injured.
A fine parlor organ came from its
box, after the ordeal, good as ever,
ard a box of miscellaneous toys was
unpacked without the loss of head
from single solder! Another for
tunate circumstance connected with
the smash.up was that the steamer
Messenger had left the dock only an
hour or two before the side of the
building and portion of the roof fell
into the berth just occupied by her.
The great weight of the snow and
timbers would doubtless have made
havoc of the frail upper works of any
steamer. The loss to Capt. Perez
val will not exceed $500, as much Of
the old material can be utilized
when the new warehouse is built.
PANIC IN CHURcH.-One would
think that people who have " made
their election sue" by repentance
and who rejoice in the possession of
the I" Pearl of Great Price" would
not finch when brought in the pres
ence of danger, but observation
shows that this is not true. They
are sometimes among the first to fee
from harm. and illustrate in its en-
tirety the saying: "The spirit is
strong but the flesh is weak" Last
Sunday an instance was afforded
illustrating this trait of character.
A Jealous deacon of one of our
churches assembled to the roof and
began shoveling snow, while the
preacher was expoundine the brlm.
stone doctrine to his congregation
within. No sooner had the first
shovelful descended to the pavement
than there was general movement
for the door, and the more pious the
individual the greater the solicitude
manifested to get out by the narrow
way leading to presumed safety. It
was in vain that the shepherd en-
deavored to pacify his flock; the
meeting was cut short, and not until
every vestige of snow was removed
could an audience be gathered, even
to secure passports for the happy
shore of Caanap.
