DEATH OF A PICNEER.-A telegram
to the STANDARD, Thursday morning
brought the sad intelligence OF the
sudden death of Hon. Samuel Nc
Cav, of Rogers ~ McCaw, firm
which has been in business the past
thirty Years at Steilacoom. The
announcement will cause n wide
spread feeling of sorrow, as deceased
was we'll known all over the coast,
and something stronger than the
ordinary. ties of friendship seelus to
cement the affection existing between
those who have braved the hardships
of frontier life and shared together
tho privations of the early days.
Mr.. McCaw was q man OF sterling
integrity, and leaves an unsullied
reputation. He had DO family. The
funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon, an it is expected, ii suit
able arrangements can be made, that
q large lumber of our citizens will
visit Steilacoom to assist at the rites
OF sepulture.

+ Tur Opp FrILows PrNIC. The OK
! cursion arranged for the 2Gth ult.,
and postponed on account of the
weather, took place last Monday.
The place selected was n beautiful
grove near Tcnlno, which had been
fitted up for the occasion by Mr..
Houston. At 7 o'clock the first
train left with three carloads of
men, women and children, and at
noon it carried another party of
equal number, making the aggregate
probably 400. The amusenients
consisted of the usual means Of rec
reation on such occasions swinging,
base ball, skipping-the-rope, blind
man and other staid and diynifed
games. in which old and young may
engage with equal propriety. About
noon the first &C bake" of clans was
prepared, cooked on heated rocks
with a covering of everSreens, in
true regulation style. a Doubtful
supply of pies, cakes, sandwiches,
etc. were then spread upon cloths
laid upon the ground, with large
piles of clans at frequent intervals,
and the word was given to "fall in. J"
1t was command which required
no repetition. and the excellence of
the repasr was amply shown by the
thorough manner in which it was
discussed. When the afternoon
train arrived, with it's fright of hui,
mainly, another banquet was spread,
and this was enlivened by music
from the Minstrel's band, who were
guests of the occasion. About five
o'clock, the whole party returned to
town, without accident or mishap,
much pleased with their days amuse-
ment and recreation. The commit
tee of Olympia and Western Lodges
are entitled to much credit fer the
evident care displayed in arranging
all the details of this very enjoyable
| occasion.

A SAFE, containing large sum OF
money and other valuables, was
stolen from saloon, at Seattle, a
few weeks ago, while its owner was
present and engaged in waiting On
his customers. 1t was concealed in
the middle of one of the principal
streets, in depression where the
underbrush had not been cleared
and remained undisturbed three
weeks. 1t was finally found by mere
chance while little girl was search
ing for lost ball. This incident
will probably deprive our Seattle
craftsmen of the use of that striking
metaphor about glass growing in
the streets with which newspaper

inhabitants of rival 60 cities

Let us Have Peace.

Our esteemed friend OF the argus
seems to be very much disturbed
by the comments of the STANDARD
upon the appointment Of Mr.. Rob
erts to a clerkship in the Custom
House. His paper of the 10Th Ill
timo contains a column " leader, "
capped with formidable Latin
quotation, to emphasize his disap-
proval of our course. That be has
been thrown quite off his balance is
evident when, with our mild and
dignified article before him, he as
serts that we were "lashed into a
frotby rage" over his structures.
The editor of the Argus is Chris
tian gentleman, and we do not be-
lieve he would deliberately publish
an untruthful statement about any
body, unless prejudice had rem
dered him SO purblind as to make
him unable to distinguish the diff
ference between what is right and
what is wrong.
The argus should endeavor to
take a more enlarged view of mat
ters of public concern. It should
be placed upon a plane of thought
which will lead it to concede that
life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness" are q common heritage,
and from this fundamental prin-
ciple flows the right of the Ameri-
can citizen to speak or write his
opinion upon every subject which
concerns himself or the public.
Even Democrats have right to
pay taxes, but as this does not con-
fict with the prerogatives of the
Great Republican Party, We pre-
sumo our friend will not raise an is
sue on that subject; but he does
seem to indulge the belief that his
political opponents have no right to
express either approval or condem-
nation of the manner in which the
public money shall be dlsbursed.
Now we hold that the opinions of
those who are deprived of any op-
portunity for the enjoyment of the
emoluments of Office, are entitled
to. more than ordinary weight in
such a controversy. The low prompt
ings of our selfish natures finds no
expression in matters which can
not, directly or indirectly, result in
some personal benefit.
The STANDARD endorsed the course
of Collector Webster in appointing
Union soldier to Office. In this it
does not stultify itself, as its record
during the trying ordeal of rebel
lion amply Shove. Then that gen
tleman and ourself stood on the
same platform and we rejoice that
partisan zeal has not so far blind
ed his judgment, after The lapse of
sixteen years, as to render him in
capable of ignoring the claims of a
soldier of the Union army who is in
every way competent to fill the posi-
ton awarded him.
Now understand, friend argus,
we are, not in a Z" frothy rage; we
are not even "displeased" that the
it should hold out it's little spoon
for more; but we do propose to
raise an occasional heartfelt cheer
when we believe that simple justice
has been done. The opportunity is
not presented SO often that the argus
need begrudge us this small ray of
comfort.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EVEN'G, MAY 6, 1881.
Visit TO the Metropolis"

w INV @hNsAVROAAoe
Now we really hope our friends at
Seattle will not take any offense at
the quotation marks we have placed
in the above caption, for we do have
q sincere admiration of the enter.
prise shown on all matters of public
or private concern by the people of
Seattle. But the meaning of the
word, as ordinary used, requires
some qualification which we believe
is made by the use of the inverted
comma and the apostrophe.
Our visit was too brief aud not at
. proper time to afford us an oppor-
tunity for ailudipe in other than
general terms OF the thrift of our
sister town; but that it has improved
at an extraordinary pace since a visit
several years ago, is apparent at a
glance. This is particularly observ-
able in the extent of ground it COW
ers. The northern portion, known
~ Belltown, which was.a few years
ago q dense forest, is now laid out
in regular squares, with streets and
allies. and many substantial and q
few costly and elegant buildings,
to mark the progress make towards
the goal of ambition q few years
hence. In Secttle proper, there is
not so much change apparent to the
casual observer, but the many man.
ufactoring establishments which
have sprung into existence, indicate
that the progress has been uniform
and Of a substantial character. The
long trains of coal cars, the ships
lying at the shutes, the score or
more of steamers coming and going
every day, aud the heavy stocks of
general merchandise carried by the
principal business houses, indicate
extensive operations.
The price of real estate, if you
can occasionally find an owner will
ing to sell at any price, is fabulous,
and greatly in excess of its real value,
unless backed by the most sanguine
expectations of a very enthusiastic
people. Rents are correspondingly
high, and the consequence is that
business men must do large traffic
ut the small profits which COMPETE
ton establishes, to pay the incident
al expenses of conducting it. Con-
sequently we find the same COM
plant of scarcity of money that pre-
walls where the sales are smaller, but
the costs CORE spondingly less.
The citizens of Seattle are remark
able for their faith in their city and
entire. confidence in their own efforts
to make it the leading commercial
point on the coast. They believe
tbat the Northern Pacific Railroad
will not only be built to the Sound,
nat per Sc to Seattle; that it will be
completed within two years, and
that then their progress will be as
rao;d AS was that of the famous
Cities of the Plains, built during the
progress of the Union Pacific.
Faith has built cities, and In this
instance there seems to be q fair
prospect of its realization.

: \ SAD ATFLICTION. The Portland
Standard of last Saturday thus al
ludes to the heavy affection which
has befallen the new Bishop of this
diocese: 1t is our painful duty to
chronicle the death of Mrs. Frances
| C. Paddock, the estimablc wife of
the new Bishop of Washln9t"n Ter
ritorv. This sad affection falls with
crushing force upon the afflicted
husband, Bishop Paddock, and his
family, just entering as they are upon
their new and arduous field of duty.
Mrs. Paid ock was an intelligent,
cultivated lady and devout Chris
tan woman, whose life was devoted
to the work in which her husband
was prominent leader. Wife OF
the rector OF the magnificent st.
Peters Church, of Brooklyn, New
York, for E.any years, surrounded by
all the comforts and luxuries of a
wealthy pastorate in that great city
of churches, she willingly left all to
accompany her husband as a mis-
sionary bishop to the northwest Ter
ritory of Washington, gladly accept
ing all the discomforts that position
would impose upon her, for the sake
OF the cause. The labor of breaking
up and packing for the long journey
made sad inroads upon her strength,
and on the journey across the con-
tinent SIZE took Il severe cold which
turned to al attack of pluro-pneu-
monia in San Francisco. She was
brought to this city on sick couch
about two weeks since, and has been
lingering along, the disease turning
to the typhoid form, and breathed
her last amid her sorrowing family
and their new friends at St. Helen's
Hall, yesterday morning. She was
40 years of age, and celebrated her
silver wedding on her dying bed.
She leaves five children, one son and
four daughters. She will be buried
at Vancouver next Monday. 1t is
the bishops wish that the beloved
remains of his wife shall repose in
the soil of his missionary Territory.
