THE Sunday Welcome is tanning
Manager Howe's jacket. He seems to
be continually in a quarrel with the
press, and that is probably the reason
why his dramatic management has
been such lamentable failure. He
might as well try to play Hamlet with
out the ghost as to run a theater with
out the support of the newspapers.

GENERAL Bradley writes to Balti-
more paper that the aggregate sum
paid out for pensions, since 1865, is
$50. OOOO,O0, the annual aggregate
now being in 1887, $74,815,4S6. As
Stunning that the population of the
south is about one-third that of the
Union, he reaches by short cut the
amazing conclusion that the south is
paying an annual subsidy of about
$25! 100000 a year for pensions to
Union soldiers, which, he contends,
is a heavier war tribute than that
levied on France by Germany. He
does not objectto the payment of pen
sions. but insists that pensions should
be paid by the sections which receive
them, through tax on incomes.

A good name, if we must continue to
pile honors upon the great man whose
memory needs no such aid for per-

objection to the use of the word in its
primary form-confusion with the
other political subdivisions of the same
name.

purpose of sending it abroad, and in addition
pay 500 q month for Especial write up" The

This is q hint in the right direction.
Olympia few years ago spent several
hundred dollars for a picture and short
" write up" in Smalley's Northwest, and
several hundred more to two non-rcs-
idents for a pamphlet description of
Thurston county, but for all the good
they have done we have never realized
any appreciate returns. Had the
four of five hundred dollars spent for
the pamphlets which lie on the shelves
of the Council room been invested in
judicious advertising in the local pa
pers, it might have accomplished some
good. But like Chambers pork, after
it has crossed salt water and returned
in the shape of English Breakfast
Bacon" everything seems to be inn
proved in some peoples estimation, by
foreign name. A little of the spirit
manufactured by the people of .Ari-
IONA, Colorado and Kansas, in support
Of local aids, would not be without good
results. The suggestion is made dis
interestedly, for the first occasion to
demonstrate its utility will be afforded
by the illustrated immigration edition
of the Partisan, to appear at an early
date.

The ladies were not backward in coming forward however, and kept the music going with scarcely 8 rest between dances, till the men looked as though they would beg for mercy if they dared. At midnight most excell- ent and substantial supper was served, after which dancing was continued with renewed vigor until late or early hour, when the company dispersed each and all expressing much satisfaction and pleasure for this most enjoyable occas- ion. Much praise is due the 12 ladies who managed the affair in SO admirable manner, and they are to be congratn- lated upon the success of their efforts.
