In Sundays issue OF the Posr INTEL
LloKNcxa there was An account of the
organization Of Womsn's Christian
Temperance Unions that have been
formed at various points, the last men
toned of which was the one at Fidalgo.
On the I'd Of August Miss Matte l..
Hansee, organizer for Western Wash
iRgton, accompanied by the same
friends a. formerly, went from Anacor-
tes 10 Whatcom. There was some mis-
take here about the hour, and on this
account fewer were present. After se-
curing aiguers TO the pledge, a union was
organized which gives good promise Of
success.
Laconner was reached the following
day. The newspaper of that place had
made q mistake In announcing the hour
Of meeting for the evening instead Of
the morning. A few, however. met at
the hall. After consultation ON the SUBJ
ject il was concluded best not to form q
union in this place, for the following
reason An open Temperance lodge was
oeRaHixed here in January with men,
bership Of one hundred and twenty
eight. II 10 in active operation, and do
ing good work.
A mass meeting was held IN the even
ing, but because Of an engagement else
where, the organizer could not be pres
ent.
On Saturday evening a meeting was
held at Oak Harbor, With good attend
amos. Aftsr the address by Miss Han
zee, twelve ladies' and ten gentlemen
sieued the pledge. The organization Of
the union vas then effected, after which
remarks were made by Rev. Nj. Whit
worth and Rev. q. A. Landen. No 9TH
OF union oreauized on the trip promises
better than this-
On Monday a special meeting OF the
Coupeville Union vas held. This Is the
frst one formed on the Sound since the
Seattle Convention. The members we're
somewhat in doubt A. 10 the best meth
ods Of procedure. However, after some
Suggestions. they saw their way clear In
tho work. They are great workers. IN
this cause. and are continually looking
for something further 20 do. One fact
is very encouraging b them-the a.
loon patronage u perceptibly dimiu-
ished. On Sunday, the day when such
patronage has heretofofe been grcateat,
one saloon had but one visitor, while
the only other saloon there was without

May the day soon arrive when for the
same reason Seattle shall receive con-
gratulations- n. L. h.

The report Of Special Agent Powers 10
Internal Revenue Commissioner Evans
respecting sham stills in south Carolina
and the issuing Of warrants and subpTnas
in long forgotten cases for the purpose Of
getting fees, bears out what has often
been asserted by Southern newspapers re-
latiye 10 the iniquitIcs practiced by many
United states marshals in the South.
Men who VIII set up sham stills for the
purpose Of defrauding the government
out Of few dollars, or will
take out the processes Of the court simply
10 make bill Of costs, will do anything
for money. They VIII trump up charges
against citizens and secure their arrest,
and they win report 10 their department
at Washington accounts Of all sorts of
1utragcs and lawless deeds. They are the
men who furnish the Northern papers
their texts for Trades about lawlessness
in the South. They ill their reports
with stories Of Outragcs for the purpose Of
magnifying their own Importance in the
eyes Of the Washington officials and to
cover up their misdeeds. The New York
Tunes called attention to them "a couple of
weeks ago, ana suggested that the Wash
ingtOn authorities ought 10 make in
quirics about them. and If the charges
against them were sustained, ought to
yet rid Of them at once and supply their
places with men Of character. We are
glad to see that the government il getting

SAVANNAH, Sept. 17.-Edit0F Morning
Nesrs:: The enclosed verses 1 hand you,
and if not inconyenient request them re-
published. They were written about
thirty-dve years ago by Benjamin L. Pres
colt, Of Seriven county, Ga, brilliant
young lawyer OF rare promise. He twice
served his county in the state Legislature,
and at an early period Of the war enlisted
in the Confederate army under Lee. he
was one Of the many who gave up their
lives and their fortunes. but maintained
their sacred honor, in support Of the Lost
Cause" He persisted, it is thought, dur
ing the terrible seven days conflict
around Richmond, and his last resting
place is marked only by the sod that
wraps his clay, or if happily he has a
tomb it is inscribed ''unknown." His
verses, II given to the public, though Of
peculiar theme and little merit, will
awaken happy recolIections, and be read
with pleasure by those of his friends who
still survive him. L. W. ROBERTS.

To give Us a better liquor.

We may drink of corn,
OF liquor without rival.
Then a health to corn,

And death to the blood Of demons.

Yesterdays Nominations.

Three tickets-twO Republican and one
Democratic nominated yesterday.
In New YORK the Republicans nominated
the Secretary of State and Comptroller
and put up a new man for Treasurer. The
ticket can hardly be- considered a strong
one.
In Massachusetts the Republicans nom
mated George -. Robinson for Governor
and Oliver Ames for Lieutenant Governor.
Robinson Is "A Congressman from the
Eleventh district. lie can beat Butler If
any Republican In Massachusetts can.
lie is forty-nine years OF age and
man of marked ability. lie
was regarded as one of the
clearest headed members Of the last House
Of Representatives. lie has been in poll
tics about ten years. If Butler is renom-
mated, however. it is probable that Rot
inson will be permitted TO occupy his
seat in Congress.
In MARYLAND the Democrats have NOM
mated Hon. Robert VI. McLane for Gov
ernor. The nomination Is "A good one
Mr.. McLane is popular, and stands high
as a man Of ability and integrity. He Is
siNty-cight years Of age. lie has been in
politics for nearly forty years, and was a
member Of the last House Of Representa-
tiyes. The ticket is strong, and assures a
Democratic victory in November.
Junius Brutus Booth, whose death w
mentioned in our dispatches day or two
ago, was born in Charleston, South Caro-
lima, in 1921. lie made his stage debut in
Pittsburg, Pa, when only thirteen years
of age. He was three times married. His
last wife was Agnes Perry, the widow of
an actor named Harry +. Perry. She sur
wives him, and is the well-known actress
Agnes Booth. Mr.. Booth was man of
commanding presence, and his face had
strong resemblance 20 that ofhis father.

mOny among the factions Of the New York
Democracy. Mr.. Kelly, however, wants
il understood that i'm order to have har-
mony Tammany's demands must be fully
complied with.
