The Local Press.

EDITOR STANDARD: Not long since
l heard a remark something ike
this: cob, we have too many
papers! I can't see how they live at
all. The town can't support them. "
Such are the utterings of old pissi-
mists. They are centuries behind
time. They are the mummeries of a
past age, and only reflect the dying
and decrepit stage of ignorance and
blind superstition. What would our
country do to day without The news
papers, the telegraph and the rail.
roads? No community can afford to
be without them. They indicate
intelligence, thrift, prosperity and
civilization. The community that
can't support newspapers, cannot
support telegraphs or railroads, and
so they are left in the wilderness to
pine and rot, in Incidence, negation
and decay. They are Stunned by
the intelligent and prosperous as un-
worthy associates. As the newspa-
pers OF a community decline, so
does its people. As the newspapers
of town grow in power and impor-
lance, SO grows the town and peo-
pie. Look the world over, and his
tory records as facts the assertions
which have here made. Look at
the people. countries and towns,
who possesa great enterprises they
are anxious t. have prosper, and do
they not rely upon the power of the
press for success If the newspa-
pers of Olympia were better sup
ported by the people, our town
would wear a more business-like ap-
pearance to-day. The fact is, MIR.
Editor, l am informed that our
local papers actually spend in this
community three times as much as
they receive from it. Their support
comes from a more appreciative peo-
pie; the live people are on the out
side of Olympia. But if any one
wants puff, then our dealheads
know and acknowledge the worth
and power of the local papers.
These same deadheads forget these
papers must buy paper, pay printers,
rent, tax, &C., and at the same time
live, and expect things from the

Subjects for Thought.

A man is great just in proportion
to his superiority to the condition of
life in which he is placed.
The most delicate, the most SEN
sible of all pleasures, consists in
promoting the pleasures of others.
The faith which looks forward is
far richer than the experience that
looks backward.
A real Christian is a man who
prays on Sunday and then helps the
Lord to answer his prayers all the
remainder of the week.
He who is false to present duty
breaks thread in the loom, and will
see the defect when the weaving Of
a lifetime is unrol!ed.
What a delightful thing rest is.
The bed has become a place of lux
ury to me, said Napoleon. 1 would
not exchange it for all the thrones
in the world.
The hardest thing for any man to
do is to practically encourage one
who wishes to reform. Once down
let him stay there, is the general
motto. When a man falls, says the
provelb, everybody tries to run over
him.

The losses incident to ocean and
river transportation may be effectu.
ally guarded against for a mere trife
in comparison to the risks, by timely
insurance. The general average
and other losses to our merchants
by accidents to the Dakota and other
vessels carrying freight for Olympia,
should be a warning to our mer-
chants, shippers and freighters by
water to guard against losses by
marine insurance. MIR. p. p. Carroll
has just been appointed agent of the
Commercial fire and marine) Insur-
ance Company of California, and is
prepared to take fire and marine
risks. Freight shipped by water
can be insured to or from any port
or destination, and o few dollars
premium may save the loss of hun
dieds or thousands.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON Nov OSfI

WASHINGTON, May 25th, 1881.
The Administration might be con-
fident in the strength that hundred
thousand offices give it, but does not
Seem to be. Secretary Blaine has
gone to New York, in the midst OF
the great Senatorial fight, and NO
number of assurances viii convince
the people that be did not o in the
interest of the anti-Conkling party.
If he went at the request or with the
consent of the President, the latte,
has been guilty of an act showing
even a greater disregard for the dig.
nifty of his Office than was shown in
his repeated statements. a fortnight
ago, that Republican Senators would
be rewarded or punished accordingly
as they voted for or against Robert
sons confirmation. If Blaine went
on his own motion, the trip can be
more easily accounted for though in
no way excused. His bitter person.
al hostility to Conkling has caused
him before this to make unseen.
ly displays of himself. None OF
them, however, were so utterly I'm.
pardonable as this, for then he re-
presented only a State, but now is
the head of the Cabinet and repre-
sents the Administration and-how-
ever indecently he may acts sup
posed to act for the whole people.
Nothing could aid Mr.. Conkling more
than this journey of the Secretary OF
State, displaying as it does at once
the fears and faults of the Admins
tration.
For many reasons, Secretary VIM
dom and Postmaster General James
are to be commended. They left
political intrigue and discussion be-
hind them when they entered the
Cabinet. They attended strictly and
laboriously to the business of their
very important Departments. They
are vigorously andeavoring to find
out any irregularities or frauds that
exist, or are now organized. Both
have found occasion to dispense with
the service of high subordinates, and
are pushing Investigations which
must end in the retirement of very
many more. It is an instructive
fact that all these displaced and sus-
pected parties are old employees and
have grown up with the faults of
Administration of their Bureaus.
BY and bye we shall be we'll enough
educated in Government affairs to
know that frequent changes in Cab

Washington is about to follow the
example of other cities and attempt
to enforce the Sunday laws against
the liquor and other trafics. Here
the laws are sufficient, and there
would seem to be no excuse for their
non-enforcement for absolute power
is placed in the hands of officials
appointed by the President and not
answerable to the people at the polls
or elsewhere. Yet except in a few
sections of the city only the front
doors of restaurants are closed.
All will be gratifed at the assur-
ance that Mrs. Garfield is so much
improved she is considered out of
danger. Her physicians report that

WM. Gouveneur Morris has been
appointed Collector of Customs for
the District of Alaska. He was the
Special Agent of the Treasury re-

but the public very naturally object
to the way he spells his name and
parts his hair.

Two passengers, a man and q
woman, were killed by putting their
heads outside of car window while
the train was approaching Wallula,
last Friday. 1t seems that while
the cars were in rapid motion, some
thing attracted their attention on
the outside, when their heads came
in contract with q water tank, with
the result stated. The accident Is
attributed to the change from a
narrow to the broad gauge, lately
made on this road, which brought
the sides of the cars much nearer
tanks and other objects by the SHE
of the track than passengers are ac-
customed to have them. The names
of the victims are not reported.
