Arundel and Chamberlain and Daniels.
In this as in the first game the home team
played without an error. The visitors
were credited with but one error and made
the same number OF hits off Shreve that

pretty work. The score is as follows:

Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Wells left here last
week for Eastern Washington, not feeling
satisfied with our country
The grist mill here is run pretty much
all of the time, there being a good de-

Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Gilchrist, of the firm
of Gilchrist & Bros, of this place, left for
Montana last week, where they intend
making their home.
There are one or two slight cases Of
measles here, and Mr.. Meore's daughter
has been quite sick with bilious foyer, but
as a rule health is good
Mrs. Saltonstall, wife of one of our ner-
chants, who has been in Oregon for the
past few months, has returned home. We

shine graciously on us once more toward
the close of the week.
Last evening heavy thunder storm

ex-Gov. Newell's few words were the main

suredly the good of his fellow man at
heart, be he rich or poor, white or colored.
As must by this time be known to the
readers of the WASHINGTON STANDARD,
the temperance people were victorious in
our little city. At an early hour, the
members of the Band of Hope Club" as.
sembled in the Baptist Church, and under
the care of their leaders, the Good Tenn.
plars' lodge, marched repeatedly through
the town, carrying their banners and sing

made very pretty display. Guns were
fired in the evening from 6 p. N. until
nearly midnight. Yours TRULY.

If surface indications may be relied on, there
are good reasons for the belief that carefully
organized and formidable effort will shortly be
made to force a system OF general water filter
age upon the larger cities of the country. OF
course the measure when 1t comes to the sur
face will be urged on the broad grounds of sam
itary precaution or necessity, and plenty of
medical certifcates-of which q choice variety
always seems TO be ready on dernand-wil be
brought forward to show the great need of the
proposed reform; but it will be pretty certain to
develop, such phlanthropic projects very
often do, into a job of huge proportions pushed
solely In the interest of a ring of spectators
who own control the patented devices in
tended 10 be introduced.
Nobody. we presume will deny that the FL
tering of water is good thing and often a
necessary measure; but TO set up the claim that
the water supply OF the principal cities is i'm
pure and unhealthy is as wicked it is
absurd For many generations the water
used by most of them has been drawn
from the same source now, and under practi-
cally the same conditions, without carrying
with it disease and death, and it is only fair
presumption that, due care being exercised, the
same results will follow for generations to come,
without calling into service cumbersome and
costly contrivances of doubtful utility. III any
body wants filtered water for special or general
use. In private houses or other establishments,
there are excellent ways to secure it in each
case where needed or desired; bu5 any scheme
70 impose upon a community an untried and
expensive system of general filterase ought to
be very closely scrutinized before adoption,
and in no case should device be paid for until

There may be facts which do net appear on
the surface, to Justify tie agitation in army
circles over the designation OF Adjuiane'Gen
eral Drum to discharge the duties of the Secre-
tary of War in his absence; but to.the sunmili
tary mind there seems to be very slight foun-
dation for so large measure OF fuss. The
mere circumstance that an officer who for
eleven months in the year fills "a subordinate
place is raised for one month to the head of q
department is no anomaly. 1t Is by virtue OF his
temporary transfer from military to civil author
ity that the adJutant general issues orders to the
lieutenant general. In principle the case
differs little from thai where q superior officer
under travelling orders is required To- report at
certain stations on his Journey 70 an inferior
q thing which is continually happening in the
navy. Owing to special conditions Of which
both parties are cOg1iZant, artificial code of
discipline prevails for the time; the instant
those conditions removed the normal re-
lations of rank are restored. Ii any 3oss OF dig
nifty, or disparagement OF other sDrt, ,yvtfe In
volved in the matter, there might be f&atscn 70
complain; but, between gentle 9aes.rrS nd al |
Officers OF the army are jealous OF their claim To
that title-a reversal of authority limitedsas TO
both character and time, and universally
understood, can give rise TO no real embarrass-
ment.

A good deal OF comment has been called forth,
both In the British house of commons and in
the press dispatches, by the sending of Sir
Redvers Butler to Kerry, the enemies of the
Salisbury government asserting that it means
the declaration of martial law throughout Ire
land after very short time. To mind uu-
affected by local political anta.onisms, this
seems rather far-fetched conclusion. Gen.
Buffers reputation In the British army cor
responds generally TO that of Gen. Sheridan in
his younger days in ours. He is a born fighter
and proved his devotion 10 the profession of
arms some years ago, when, by the death of q
brother, he fell heir to estates bearing an in
come of seventy-five thousand dollars. u year.
and refused to leave the army to fdke possfsssoa
OF them. His personal courage is una tessdffe-4,
and he exposes himself to- imnifrfeitt peffi III
death as readily for one OF his TROOPERS ss ior an
officer OF his own rank. His eminent qualities
of leadership, conspicuous among which Is an
iron will, have enabled i'm the Ashant tee, Zulu,
and Soudan campaigns to command effectively
under other captains. He may be a dangerous
man to station in Ireland, just AT the present
time, when public feeling there is In q pretty
excited state. fer his respect for the rule of the
sword exceeds his knowledge of civil law; but it
does not follow that the Irish people are going
