1 Word OF Warning To Spitetul
Republicans.
From the Richie Gazette.

From the Richie Gazette.
EDITOR Richie GAzETTE.-I
occasionally hear a temperance
Republican threatening to spit his
spite at the third party by working
against the proposed prohipitory
amendment to our constitution.
want to ask all such Republicans
to consider we'll before they take
such dangerous step. Such
course would endanger the success
of the Republican ticket in this
State, as there are thousands of Re-
publicans who will, turn away from
their party if this is to be the pro-
gramme. The temperance element
is. what holds together the grand old
party in West Virginia.
II the amendment is defeated by
Republican votes, we will never
gain the ascendency in this State.
The thousands of temperance Re-
publicans who have been hanging
on to our party with the expecta-
ton of bringing it to the front on
the temperance question, would
turn against US and say, Away with
such d party, as we can not trust
it on this great moral question !!
1t would also give the third party
people room to say, What did we
tell you? The Republicans have de-
feated the amendment. l say to
Republicans, if you want to kill the
third party, vote for the amend
ment.
Now in regard to the threat
against the amendment, on &C.
count of handful of third party
men, l ask in all candor, is it pos
siole that temperance Republicans
will take the responsibility of de-
feating this important measure to
spite the third party? Suppose a
stranger would come to Harrisville
and bitterly denounce the different
religious organizations in the town,
do you suppose there would be even
one man who would renounce his
church on the say 80 of one foolish
man? Of course not. Then why
will you vote for the rumseller's in
terest simply because our party
has been assailed by few foolish
men styling themselves the third
party? Gentlemen think before
you leap into the darkness, To the
third party men; beg of them to
be eau tious how they conduct their
canvass. They should aim to
make all the votes in their power
for the amendment. I can't see
what advantage it is to them to
make war on either of the old par.
ties, in this great struggle for our
homes and our country. Let them
stop their foolish talk about this or
that party and give all their atten-
ton to the uniting of all temper
ance forces. REPUBLICAN.

Olympia is well supplied with means
of frequent and speedy communities
ton with all parts of the Territory and
the outside world. The o. X. & n.
Co.'S elegant and commodious steamer
/. J. Potter, Capt. Gil Parker, model
OF beauty and speed, makes daily
round trips to Tacoma and Seattle,
connecting with trains to Eastern
Washington and boats for the lower
Sound and British Columbia. A local
pride is felt in this vessel, as she was
designed by and bIilt under the super
vision OF Capt. Jas. Troupe, of Port
land. The steamer Fleetwood likewise
makes daily round trips. The steam
ers Willie, Clara Brown and Jessie af-
ford daily means of journey to Shell
ton, and other growing Mason county
towns. The Olympia and Chehalis
Valley Railroad Company run two
trains daily to Tenino, connecting
with the Northern Pacific north and
south. Two stage lines dispatch their
coaches daily for Montesano and other
thriving cities on the river and harbor.
THE FUTURE LOWELL.
To conclude this article without
some allusion to Tumwater, a suburb
OF Olympia, would be like the rendi-
ton of Hamlet without the ghost
altogether incomplete. Suffice it to
say, however that within two miles of
Olympia is this thriving hamlet, with
the best water power in Western Wash
mgton-best because available at
moderate expense and of unlimited ca
pacity. The Deschutes river where it
enters the bay, falls over a succession
of cascades, extending a distance of a
quarter OF mile, the series covering
a descent of at least 80 feet. The vol
ume OF water is ample at all seasons OF
the year to turn the machinery of a
Lowell, and doubtless in the future a
manufacturing city that will rival that
famous city of spindles, will arise.

In no city on TIE Pacific coast is
hospitality held to be q greater vir-
tue, the rules of social amenities more
liberal, and convivial occasions found
I'd on amore generous basis, than right
here in the Capital city Of Washington
Territory. Especially do these charac-
teristics Of the true Olympian crop out
during the winter holidays. Good lv-
ing, enough Of it, and jovial compan-
inship, are among the prime articles
in his social confession of faith. He
affects for the nopce, the financial abil-
ity Of millionaire and the reckless
ness of = schoolboy. To feel happy
himself and make everybody happy
about him, is his religion. A duck
hunt, an evening at whist, turkey
dinner, or half the night At q free and
easy dance, is to him the personi6ca-
ton of earthly bliss. Should his citi-
zenship date back to the olden days
prior, say to the "Injun war, or per-
chance, to the time when Mount Raj
nier was hole in the ground, then a
jolly sit-down with old settlers is the
best racket. And whether he came
across the plains in an ox-team
schooner, around the horn in clipper
ship, or through the horn " on board
primitive steamer, he is the hero of
the best yarn. But if he be only
scion of one Of the old dads and to
the manor born" then, OF course, he
is nearest heaven in the exclusive So
ciety of his best girl. But he is an
Olympian all the same, nor does it
take long for Paci6c-coaster versed
in the folklore. of Puget Sound, to de-
ternine the city of his adoption.

Sunday School DOings.

The various churches in Olympia
held the usual Christmas festivals for
their Sunday Schools, on Christmas
Eve.
In the Presbyterian church two
trees were erected, well loaded with
brilliant tapers and sweets besides
such other more substantial prizes as
all good children love. A rope of ev-
ergreens was gracefully festooned
across two sides and one end of the
building, while displayed notices and
floral decorations met the eye on sv-
cry side. The evenings programme
consisted, in the main, CT bible ser
vice participated in by the Pastor.
Superintendent and children.
In the Methodist church broad,
ivy-twined ladder took the place of
the conventional Christmas tree. The
usual wax candles and prize packages
were attached to this and at the auspi-
cious time distributed among the
children. In the course of the even
ing Old Santa Claus himself came
down, much to the CONSERVATION of
the little ones and full measure OF fun
to the older ones. Religious exercises
of course, filed up the interim.
At the Baptist church, after very
prettily arranged programme Of reci-
tations and music. single but we'll
laden tree dispensed its lucious fruits
to old and young. The Sunday school
is small, but well managed by faith
full corps of officers and teachers.
Two trees did service at the Congre-
gational church. In addition to these
the walls were decorated with ivy
wreaths, while the altar was almost
hidden beneath beautifully arranged
floral displays. Music lent its charms
to the evening exercises and the grand
climax was reached when the lights OIL
the chandeliers was tnrned down, the
tapers lighted and the trees disman
tied of their fruit.
The Episcopal society being tempo
rarily without local habitation, held
their Sabbath school doings in Taco
ma Hall. An exquisitely decora ted
tree, forest Of shrubbery and flowers
and piles Of gift books, prize DO xes ant
cornucopias gave to the hall the appear
ance of some abode in Fairy-land. Sa
cred rcnditions and music filed up tn
programme till the lighting up of tn
wax tapers. Then of course followe'
the most interesting episode of all, dis
tributioA Of prizes.
At st. Michael's church, the Catho
lies performed their time-honored ser
vice. The house was deliberately dec
grated with evergreens, while a tree il
the corner ut the left of the altar, en-
veloped in a blaze Of light, containe'
q representation of the Babe of Beth
lahem. While everything was peculia
to the Catholic idea, the exercises wer
beautiful and well sustained.

Built Over Ruins.

As the traveller walks on he perceives
that his footsteps are not upon the
original ground of Jerusalem, but up
on mass of super-imposed matter
which has been strewn over the whole
site. History enumerates seventeen
captures of the holy city, eleven of
which were attended by sieges more or
less destructive. After many of these
events the houses then standing were
RACED to the earth. These were in time
succeeded by new houses, which in
their turn were overthrow at the next
siege, and so on, each capture adding
to the accumulation of rubbish. Thus
the traveller learns that compact lay
er of a solid coating, from thirty to
fifty feet in thickness, has been by de-
grees spread over the entire space.
Even the valleys and ravines between
the several hills on which the city was
built have been so far filled up as to
have lost their special character, as al
ready mentioned. The Tyrophean
brook is perhaps the most particular
instance. The traveller will have heard
of this brook. OF read of it in jose

the city, but he will not find it. New

from the city at Moriah the bridge

discovery of the arch and by deep eX-
cavations here and there which have
exposed the bed overlaid with ruins

The MegalOmaniac

all that Shakespeare wrote, " said Words
worth to Charles Lamb. why, l
could write as well as Shakespeare my
self if only had the mind to-" Eyes, ="
wittily replied Lamb, ''all you lack is
the mind" Wordsworth was a megal-
omaniac. 1t is said that he believed
his doggerel poem, Peter Bell, )" was
as good as his Incompatible lode on
the Intimations of Immortality" Like
many others he was incapable of judg-
ing his own work.
Every editor receives countless con-
tributions from contributors who are
megalomaniacs, labOring under the
delusion that they are great. Their
articles are without originality, negli-
gent of all grammatical restraints. and
radically Independent of the spelling
book And yet they think they can
write; and thousands of editors re-
grets and whole stacks of rejected
manuscripts cannot undeceive them.
Never a week passes but some minis
ter meets with megalomaniac, who
thinks he could excel him as a preach
er. The severest trials of a family
physician arise from the superior wis
dom Of their patients. or perhaps the
good old aunts of their patients, who
have some pet hereditary theory which
they believe is better than the doctors
