CAPITAL.

What but the presence of capital
and enterprise is needed TO place the
Southern States 10 the front rank of
cotton manufacturers 2 With ade>
quate enterprise even the requisite
capital would be forthcoming. That
the producer of the raw material,
who is at the same time large con
sumner of all the various goods manu>
featured therefrom, should pay the
cost of double transportation thous
nds of miles, and an enormous profit
on other peoples labor and capital,
is one of the anmaliss of modern
time There are no conditions of
climate or facilities for doing the
work that render it necessary for q
Mississippi cotton grower to send his
cotton to Rhode Island or Massachu
sets, or across the Atlantic to Man
chester or Liverpool, to be manufac-
tured into the cloth he needs for his
own use. The fact is, however, that
this is and always has been, to g
great extent, the case. The little
State of Rhode Island even, even, q
State 80 diminutive that that little
domestic affair like the Sprsgue
scsndal boils all over into the sur
rounding States, manufactures more
cotton, runs more spiudles and gives
employ ment to mora operatives than
all the Southern and Western States
together. Rhode leland is only
second to Massachusetts, in its cotton
manufactures, the latter State con
suming 573, $50 bales of cotton the
past year out of total of 1,576,4Sl
bale worked up in the whole country

Sharps and Flats.

1t is indeed surprising how many
people in the United States imagine
that the frontier newspapers are pub
lished simply to advertise their re-
spective districts, without money
and without price" Scarcely week
passes that we do not receive postal
cards requesting copies Of the STAND
ARD to be sent, that some informa-
ton may be obtained of the resources
of our Territory. Many years ago
we responded to these anxious in
quirers, and not only sent the pa
per without remuneration, but paid
the postage and waited patiently for
a return of the bread thus cast upon
the waters; but experience has
shown that it does not pay. Proba-
bly, not one in ten of these requests
are made for the purpose stated.
Many of them are simply to obtain
the names of advertisers and others,
to send out circulars describing
wares that may be transmitted under
the cheap postal rates through the
mails, with the object of securing
customers; and others are simply a
device for obtaining reading matter
at the lowest possible cost. Fifty
postal cards are thus made to secure
the equivalent of a whole years SUBJ
scription to any one of the journals
thus victimized. We are pleased at
the assurance from several of the
leading papers that they now pay
no attention to these newspaper
sponges. We have adopted tie rule
of neuer sending a copy of the
STANDARD, unless, at least, stamp

Was il OiliciOll>neSS!

The Seattle Int Hiyorr, in com
mentinS upon the recent informa-
ton lodged against the owner of q
beer hall in this place for selling
liquors to minors, gives the incidents
substantially as they occurred, but
in its evident desire to be impartial,
seemingly falls into the very error it
seeks to avoid. 1t says that the boys
had just drank their beer and finished
singing bawdy song when three
temperance advocates" appeared
upon the scene, and that one of the
youths used language too indecent
to be put i'll print, a portion of which
is news to at least one of the tenn.
perance exeinplars" present on that
occasion. If it is true, it only makes
q bad case considerably worse, and
that journals closing comments the
more Objectionable to all supporters
of morality and virtue. 1t says: ga
portion of the community upheld
Thompson, Milroy and Murphy, and
the other portion condemned their
officiousness. If it was true that
minors were drinking intoxicating
beverages prescribed by a law which
everybody approves, if it was true
that they were indulging in obscene
and profane revelry, as admitted,
the reporter uses the wrong word
when it characterizes the act of these
gentlemen as "officious. It was
the bounden duty of any law-abid-
ing citizen to interfere, and to have
done otherwise would have been
condoning fragrant outrage of pro-
priety and violation of law. Is it
officiousness" for minister of the
Gospel to endeavor by any practical
means to check the sway of sin and
vice? Is it officiousness for a
father to seek to restrain son from
forming habits which may ruin body
and soul? Is it "oficious' for
those who pay heavy annual tax
for the maintenance of prisons and
alms-houses to labor in all lawful
ways to keep the youth from furnish
ing recruits for these institutions
after, if not before, they arrive at
mans estate. We opine not, and
we believe our contemporary erred
in the statement that any consider
able portion of the community took
exception to the course pursued by
these temperance exemplars.
Even some of the men engaged in the
liquor traffic have expressed approx
al of the act by which one of their
number was admoLished that the
way of the transgressor is hard, and
we have yet to find anybody who has
unqualiiedly condemned it.

We still see no cause to change the
opinion We still believe that those

enough to maintain IA rule in accord
with his convictions. We think

but if wo are mistaken we would be
gratilied TO receive instructions from

The C0D"rH. ;....i Deadlock.

WASHINGTON, March 30, 1881.
do not believe the story that
President Garfield lied to Senator
Conklins about the New York pat.
ronage. But there is, to say the
least, q misunderstanding between
them on the subject. The Senator
was invited to tie White House on
Sunday, the 10Th, and told, as he
says, that he and Senator Plat would
be consulted about all New York APP
pointments. At that interview Sen
ator Conklins refused to make any
recommendations, only wishing to
know of nominations in advance, as
he had full faith that all the selec-
tons would be satisfactory. On the
succeeding Tuesday several of Conk-
ling's alleged friends were given
office but without consultation with
him, or Senator Plat. He was sur
prised. On the next day his chief
enemy in New York was given the
greatest Federal office in that State
the Collectorship of the port of
New York. This, too, without con-
sultation with Conkling or Platt.
This is the Conkling story as pub.
lished i'll the New York Times. The
Garfield story is that no promise of
consultation was given by the Pres
ident at the interview with Conk-
ling. There seems to be no doubt
that serious quarrel will result
from this misunderstanding.
This and the anomalous condition
OF affairs in the Senate, fill the po-
litical mind of Washington, espe-
ciaIly rs there is q connecting link
between the two. Senator Conk-
ling wishes to keep back and per-
haps ultimately prevent the confirm
alton of his enemy by the Senate.
For this reason he desires to pro-
long the contest oven Senate officers
Hence he is the chief Senatorial
manager and encourager of Malone,
who, by voting with the Republic
cans stops the Senate from going
into executive session, and voting on
nominations.
The case Of Malone has other
points ot interest besides this. 1t is
the first i'll which Senator elected
20 vote one way has on the opening
of session gone another way. Ma
hone was not, strictly speaking,
! elected as Il Democrat, but it is en-
tirely true that he was elected as q
Conservative, and that he is now
acting with and is the tool of the
most Radical Republicans in the
Union. His vote and influence
weigh to-day far more heavily against
the intelligent people of his section
than does that Of any Radical Sena-
| tor.
At this writing there is no prob
ability that the Cead lock in the
Sena tie over the election of its Off
|
GERS will be broken. The Demo-
Gratis, greatly to their credit, and
much to the surprise of many, have
agreed to stand together in insisting
that the mere election of u Sergeant
at-Arms who is the intimate friend
of Malone shall not be made con-
dition of accomplishing the ncces-
saly and legitimate work for which
! the Senators were called together
They have reason, decencv and pre-
cGlent on their side. 1t was ru-
moled last night thai Secretary
Blaine was using his influence with
! Senators to secure the transaction of
executive Understanding the
confirmation of the Presidents NOM
incc-at al earl y day, letting the
question of Senote officers go by for

The Last ResOrt-Slang.

THE Olympia STANDARD man is evidently
"spoiing for muss." In fact he's hurt
ing right bad-a living example of the
truth of the saying that the less man
knows about any given thing the more
pretentious he is about it. II he knew
of war he certainly wouldn't make such
an upseemly exhibition of himself over
it.
1t is scarcely necessary to state
that the above paragraph is copied
from the Port Townsend argus.
The peculiar diction betrays its pa
ternity to anybody who is at all ia
miliar with it's utterances. 1t will
be remembered that we simply ap-
proved the action of Collector Web
ster in appointing Mr.. W. H. Rob
erts to a position in the Custom
House, and differed with the 44rgus
as to what constituted a valid claim
for a Government Office. We were
not as that journal SO elegantly re-
marks spelling for muss," in
fact we always endeavor to avoid
contention, and were, in this in
stance, SO sparing of our contempt
rary's feelings we purposely alb
stained from making the statement
that the animus of his structures
upon the Collector were prompted
by selishDess. Mr.. Wier being HIM
self an applicant for the position.

OLYMPIA. WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY EVE'G, APRIL -, 1881.
An Unwisp Policy.

Since the change OF the time
table on the Northern Pacific Rail-
road. the Seattle Post has been per-
sistent in It's efforts to create a feel
ing of popular hostility to the Puget
Sound Transportation Co., for an
alleged failure Of the mail steamers
to make close connection at Tacoma,
and thus benefit Seattle by compell-
ing through passengers to remain n
longer tine ut that place on their
way TO Victoria and the lower ports
of the Sound. Had the press of
Seattle ever missed an opportunity,
for many man months past, of show
ing personal ill-will towards Capt
Starr, the present structures would
have some weight, but as it is, they
look, at least to disinterested OBJ
servers, as being prompted more by
malice than disposition to benefit
the public. The company's steam
srs, and especially the poor Aida,
have boen so often caricatured by
these journals, that the few admis-
sions of the many things which can
be said in favor of the line come
with a peculiar force from the LntelH-
ge,,cer, which is, of course, bound to
approve whatever the Post con-
demns.
The steamers of the Puget Sound
Transportation Co. are, with proba-
bly, the exception of the Alida,
staunch, fleet and elegant boats.
The North Pacific, the George E.
Starr and the Isabel, will compare
with first class vessels on any route,
and they are all Offered by careful
and experienced men. MIR. Clancy,
the Secretary of the company and
it's chief executive officer, has not
his superior on the Coast in that
business, bred as he has been to
the work. The scape-goat of the
Seattle press-the Alda-has only
been used when the other boats
were undergoing repairs, Which a
daily service frequently renders
necessary.
But we think those people of our
sister Getty" who are represented
by the Post are making mistake in
the course now pursued. Capt.
Starr has his mail service to perform
according to schedule. If it does
not suit, their remedy is with the
Postoffice Department. They can
make nothing by opposition to a
company which has done SO much
for them. Capt. Starr reduced the
rates of passage on the Sound to
about one-half the charges Of the
anderson Co., Immediately on be-
ginning his service. He has built
aud repaired his steamers at Seattle
for many years, disbursing hundreds
of thousands of dollars to mechanics,
Iaborers and tradesmen. Is he not
entitled to same credit in return ?
Probably this fact will be more fully
realized when he is driven to some
other port for supplies and repairs,
as is intimated will be the result if
the present illiberal policy is pur-
sued. Seattle should take warning
from the experience of Olympia, a
few years ago, in just such an emsr-
gency.

GRiNr ON THE NEwsrWEEs.-In a
late "spcech, Gen. Grant is report
ed to have SAID: | never knew 4
member of Congress, Il Senator or a
President Of the United States who
could not be enlightened by tie
youngest member of the press in re-
gard to his duty. | never knew Il
Gencral to command a brigade, Il
division, IL corps, al army, who
could begin to do as well rs men fay
away in their sanctuns. " This is
remarkably pithy sentiment to email
ate from the source to winch 1t is ac-
credited. But we do not blame Gen
eral Grant for his antipathy towards
the press. If there ever was more
over-rated public man, in any age Oh
nation, we have yet to hear of him.
Selhshness is his leading trait of
character, and the press during his
long career in public life, have SO
often pricked his self-conceit that
we not wonder that he always looks
at them through the small end of
the telescope.
