THE OFTICIALCITY PAPER
The Destruction Of the Democratic
Party.

The Olympia Standard, in its last 's-
sue. very severely cri.icises the ways and
means employed by the Republican parry
20 COMPASS. the destruction Of the Demo
cratic faction IN this country. II TIE
Democratic party is So badly beaten. II
seems Ia US that the Republican mana
gers are exercising very unnecessary
amount of energy IN ul'puslng II. IL IS
an opinion candidly gwen here, that II
the Democratic party OF this Territory
fails to shape politics in the rapidlyaP
preaching election in November, II vii
be simply that the preferences OF that
party are kept in the background through
inefficient district. county and territorial
management. We should be pleased b
have any of the leading democrats point
out single legitimate excuse for the pre-
sent apathe,ic condition of the party in
Washington Territory. The lctioL of the
Central Committee, instead of causing, as
il should, 4 revival of party interest and
party spirit, acted as an opiate, and from
that hour TO this, democracy in this Ter
r,iory has lain dormant. The managets
Of the party have done nothing which
calls for tender consideration Of them
on the part of the rank and file on the
contrary, they have arbitrarily dictated
ways and means which fret and worry and
chafe every earnest democrat IN this sec
ton Of the country
The true teaching of politics in thls
country, is, that there must be come ele-
ment in the party which Can lay hold
upon popular imagination. We should
be glad to have some of these leaders tell
US what they propose doing to create Just
this element in the Democratic party.
They have dope nothing TO inspire, DO
more TO even interest the party at large.
A dark lantern with mittens on would do
rs well for leadership.

ABOUT AN EARLIER CoMEr.-In view
of the rcignins uncertainty us to the couct
OF 1881, it may be timely to reproduce from
the Urbaaa On Constitution of May 1857,
the following interesting but irrcvcrcnt
spccu!ations touching the comet which was
expected to strike the earth on Juua 18th
of that year
"Immcrman, after observing the 'crittcr'
carefully with the instruments ofthc Urba-
ma brass band, comes to the conclusion
"'That the comet will not strike the
earth but.
That if it does strike it it will never d,
it second time.
In any case, however, to any gentleman
who holds opinions different from the above
and Is willing to back his views to q limit.
cd extent, in order to arrive at the truth in
this momcntous matter, We hereby make
the following propositions:
"1' We will wager S20,OOO more or
less, than If the comet offers to strike, we
will dodge it before it does; in other words
that it can't be brought 20 the scratch.
"'2. A like sum that, if it does strike,
it will be knocked higher nor a kite.
SO twenty-five times the above amounts
in case the comet strikes it won't bulge tie
earth six inches by actual measurement.
"''4 A like amount that after the Comet
strikes its tail drops.
"'5. An optional sum that the earth
can knock the comet further than the comet
can knock the earth, nine times out Of clev.
&c. That after the comot is through
striking the earth it will never want to
strike anybody else.
"'These propositions are intended to
c-ver the case OF any gentlemen Oh this
globe or on the comet or elsewhere.
Money to be deposited in the banks Of
Newfoundland.
"'Time Of striking and other arrangements
to be fixed by the parties.
"Appicants for bets have a right to
select any comet they choose"
COTToN SEED OIL.-It is only a few
years since both master and servant indig.
nantly denied that cotton seed in any shape
was ever used as human food; now the refined
oil is as generally used in the cuisine of the
rich as in the simps diet of the poor A
years expert nee in using it as substitute
Tor various other fats has given convincing
proof that it MAJ take the place Of any Of
them. For frying purposes it is superior,
as it docs not scorch as quickly as anything
else and gives richer favor to some things,
like Indian meal pancakes. 1t is excellent
for frying fish and doughnuts the latter do
not tat soak as readily as in lard, aud tho
oil left over is even better to use agan.-
