Victory has perched upon our
banners and the field is ours. We
have met the enemy in fair hand to
hand conflict and have put them to
fight. The people have spoken and
their edict is the law. The Ring is
broken never to be re. united. Boss
rule is at an end in Thurston coun-
ty, and will soon have run its course
in the whole Territory. The politi-
cal machine is broken everywhere.
and the golden rays of the sunlight
of progress illuminate the horizon.
The victory is much broader one
than q party triumph; it is the voice
Of the people raised againts oppres-
sion, corruption and wrong; it is the
sway of the scepter of the only king
who can rule free America peo-
pie.
The principles involved were those
cherished by Democrats and revered
by all true Republicans. We may
have q fondness for the old party
names, under which we have con-
sistently fought for the principles
we hold dear, but they are only the
she'll which holds the kernel, the
shuck which concesls the golden
grain, the rock which carries the
vein of precious metal. The people
have broken open the outer covering
to obtain the coveted prize within;
they have laid aside their preiudices
to unite for the public good; and as
in all such contests under . free
government, their voice has been
ommipotent.
The Democrat could see in our
local conflict q means of checking
that powerful foe to republican
government, the Capitalization of
power into the hands of the few; the
Republican preceive that this was
rare opportunity for putting into
practice the oft promised and % of.
ten ignored plans for reform Of the civ
il service. Neither abandoned prin-
ciple, but both cordially united When
the issue was presented in new
form. unshackled by party trammels.
The opposition have sought to
make the Peoples movement a mere
personal contest, waged in the in
terest Of certain individuals. This

ton is from a higher source; its
overwhelming success indicates q
much wider scope. No one, two,
three or q dozen, individuals afe en-
titled 70 the credit of its inception or
its triumphant progress and glorious
results. 1t was spontaneous up
rising of the people; aud only in
devisins meansto develop this latent
impulse and make it effective can
any individual claim especial credit.
There were many who aided in this
work and contributed materially to
the success. They were all import
ant factors. We could spare none
OF them. The result shows the
strength there is in perfect union.
The People elect eleven out Of
their thirteen county and district
nominees-the Office OF Sheriff and
Assessor alone being lost; and they
could have been saved, had some
circumstances been known. on the
day of election that have since come
to light. But the result is salts

the breeze with the assurance of

tration Of our county affairs.

Wood Staining,

A novel system of staining wood has been introduced that has the merit of simplicity and cheapness. The wood having been carefully planed and fin ished, it is given two thin coats of sig ing. This is prepared by adding to glue 8 small quantity of albumen and alum. When this is dry and hard, the design is painted or stenciled upon the wood, the intention being to produce pat tern, one part of which shall be of the natural color of the wood, the stencil or the design selected representing the white parts only. For instance, if the finished work is to show white figures on dark ground, the white parts only must appear to the stencil. When the sizing is dry the pattern is painted on in Canada balsam or Brunswick black. When the balsam is hard and dry the whole surface is washed with a sponge and warm water. This will remove the sizing from all those parts of the wood not protected by the hard balsam, which resists the warm water. When the wood is dry the exposed parts are stained in imitation of walnut or other dark woods. When the staining is fin ished, the balsam is removed by brush ing it with turpentine, leaving the pat tern or design in the natural color of the wood on the dark, stained ground. The finished work is said to resemble closely inlaid wood.

Her Choice.
"Do they edit in here?"

'Do they edit in hcre" The several occupants of the room looked around and discovered young lady standing in the doorway. She nodded slightly to the horse reporter, and that individual returned the saiuta- ton with placid milc-and-a-half-oyer- eight-hurdles smile whose grandeur of expanse would alone have made i: mo- ticeable.

This is the exact spot where the seething brain of the trained jour nalist proceeds to bubble, anl the lances of Thought that pierce with un- erring aim the brazen helmets of Wrong are ever held in couchant boise by strong arms ready to launch them forth at the slightest signal of danger"
 Papa doesn't know l am up here," said the vision of loveiness, but man. ma does. The very minute l told her that l was going to see an editor she said it was the best thing to do, but when got right to the door just thought should die"
 You don't appear to be in danger of immediate dissolution" remarked the horse reporter.
 "Oh. of course don't mean exactly that said the young lady, but l was awfully nervous, you know-1 always was that way-and when l was little girl papa used to say that the only way to govern me was by kindness"
 "Well. we'll be gentle with you," re- piled the personal friend of Rarus. "Would you like to read the Hawkins vile Courier or the Cohoes Freemdn~ pointing to pile of exchanges.

An Amateur Salyare Company.

Mir c. J. Thompson friends tell this story of him; Mir. Thompson him self says it is exaggerated:
 Much disturbed by fires occurring in the neighborhood. Mir. Thompson de- cided to organize fire company in his family, realizing that little precaution might save him considerable in time Of danger. He accordingly thoroughly drilled the different members in their respective duties and waited, but as no opportunity for action offered, he select ed morning to give false alarm and test their efficiency. Leaning from the back parlor window he shouted ''ire'' at the top of his lungs.
 The echo of his voice had not died away, when sofa and two chairs grazed his ear on their way downward, four oil paintings swept down the lead CT, washstand and two trunks slid past him. two bed slats and mattress struck him on the head, and in an up- ward glance seeing the legs of the library table appear at the second story window, he withdrew and started up stairs. Half way up he met the round marble slab from the center table which glded between his feet without q word, and struck the servant girl behind him who was carrying the china upstairs for safety, and she and her burden landed in the hall.
 Gaining the second floor he was in time to see his eldest daughter carefully remove the bureau drawers one by one and drop them from the window. Be- fore he could speak he met stream of water from a fire engine which took him in the face and heard the front door being opened by the fire department axes, while the parlor windows stepped out to admit the ladders. Turning to fly he met his wife with gritliron and an almanac in one hand. while the other was occupied with a baby and a l glass of wooden toothpicks, and at the same instant there was deafering crash which proved to be two mirrors and the parlor stove tied together, reaching the ground. while a fireman ax in hand inquired, ''Where is the tire?"

Rescued from Death.

William Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, says: In the fall of 1876 I was taken with bleeding of the lungs followed by severe cough. l lost my appetite and flesh, and was confined to my bed. In 1877 was admitted to the hospital. The doctors said 1 had hole ill my lung as big as half dollar. At one time a re- port went around that 1 was dead. I gave up hope, but friend told me of DR. WILLIAM HALLS BALsAM FOR THE LUNGS I got bottle, when to my surprise, l commenced to feel better, and to-day l feel better than for three years past.
 Il write this hoping every one afflicted with diseased lungs will take DR. WILLIAM HALLL BALsAM, and be convinced that CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED. l can posi- lively say it has done more good than all the other medicines 1 have taken since my sickness. l

Remarkable Escape.

John Kuhn, of Lafayette, Ind, had a very narrow escape from death. This is his own story: "One year ago I was in the last stages of consumption. Onr best physicians gave my case up. l finally got so low that our doctor said l could not live twenty-four hours, My friends then purchased bottle of Dr. Vim. Halls Balsam for the lungs, which benefited me. continued until took nine bottles. l am now in perfect health having used no other medicine" From the above it is plainly evident that there IS cure for consumption, even in the most hopeles cases, and that cure is Dr. Wm. Halls Balsam for the lungs. Cures all coughs and colds. Cures all diseases of the lungs and chest. Cures pneumonia and sore throat, and is sure cure for consumption,

How Flies Climb.

Herr H. Dewitz has communicated to the Berlin Society of Nature History some facts that bear very strongly against the generally received theory that flies adhere to perpendicular walls and ceilings by virtue of some sucking power in their feet. He asserts that the feet of flies cannot possess the sucking property ascribed to them, for they are hard and destitute of muscles. The theory has long been cOntradicted by the experiments of Blackwall, who found that flies could climb the sides of a jar under the receiver and an air pump, where there was no atmospheric pressure, and who asserted that the power of adherence was due to a sticky matter secreted from the foot-hairs of flies. This assertion was generally re- garded as not proved, and the case has rested there. Dewitz reports that his investigations have shown that Black well was right. He has watched the ex- udation of the sticky matter from the feet of the flies by fastening one of the insects to the plate of glass and view ing it under the microscope. A per fectly clear liquid was seen to flow from the ends of the foot-hairs and attach the foot to the glass. When the foot was lifted up to be put down in another place the drops of the sticky matter were perceived to be left on the glass, in the exact places, where the foot-hairs had rested. The adhesive fluid ap- pears to pass down through the hollow of the hair and to be derived from glands which Leydig discovered in the folds of the foot in 1859. A similar ad- hesive matter appears 10 be possessed by bugs, by many larv@, and probably 1 by all insects that climb the stems and ! the under sides of the leaves of plants. l -P0puldr Science Monthly
