The American Sabbath.

Rev. Wilbur +. Craft, Secretary OF
the American Union, delivered three
eloquent discourses in this city, last
Sunday. He spoke in the morning, at
the Presbyterian church, upon "labor''
as opposed to rest At 3 80 in the
afternoon, he spoke upon the legal
aspects of the question, and at the
Methodist church, in the evening, his
topic was the equity" of the question.
Mr.. Crafts stated that, contrary to the
generality of public opinion, this
movement has not for its object the
establishment of a religious Sabbath,
properly SO called, but simply and in
the main, a day of rest for man and
beast, irrespective of all crceds and de-
nominations. The reverend gentle
mans mission at this time is to estab-
lish a Washington Sabbath Association
which shall be auxiliary to the Amer
lean Sabbath Union. This last body
has for its ultimate object the passage
of bill by Congress which may be
crystalized into Sunday law tor all
the States. This Sunday law is to Sc
cure for all the working classes rest
day in each calender week that shall
be absolutely their own in all its es
sentials.
Mr.. Crafts is by no means novice
in this noble work. He has travelled
extensively through the various States
and Territories, as an active represent
alive of the American Sabbath Union,
and has been received at all points
with marked demonstrations of good
cheer and welcome. He has presented
the claims of the Union before the La
Dor Committee Of the United States
Senate, the General Assembly Of the
Knights of Labor, the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, and before in
telligent citizens at scores of mass
meetings, securing in every instance
favorable action.
1t remains to be seen what action
will be taken in regard to this ques.
ton by the members of this Conven-
ton. 1t will bear reiteration that the
end and the object of this movement
is not religious recognition, but only
to secure through congressional an
State legislative enactment, law pro.
hibiting unnecessary labor and bust.
ness now done on Sunday. In other
words, as has already been intimated, to
provide for the laboring classes repre-.
senting many millions OF our popula.
ton, one day in seven for rest and re-
cuperatiOn. The term Sabbath" as
used by the managers of the Union, is
understood to be taken in the print
tive deception OF the old Hebrew word,
rest-day," a cessation from labor. "
Mr.. Crafts has travelled in continent
al Europe and the Holy land, and
comes to the task before him with "A
large experience and observation. He
marshals his arguments from broad
standpoint OF view and evidently be-
lieves that he is master of the situa-
ton.

The Local Paper.

The local paper Is power Tor good
in the community in which it is pub
lished Business men know this bet
ter, perhaps, than any other class of
men, and those who know it best are
often the slowest to admit the fact.
Since the local paper caters mainly to
the best interests OF local business and
local institutions, 80, in turn, should it
be fostured and cherished by local
support. II properly sustained then,
10y home patronage, home influence
and advice, papers become living
epistles OF the people, TO be read and
contemplated by all men.
Why is il that business agents and
commercial travellers are ALWAYS so
eager to see the local" daily, or
weekly newspaper, upon entering for
the first time any considerable village
or city ? 1t is to get Photographic
view OF the people. \ paper can
reach no higher in excellence and use
fulness than the standard OF intelli-
gence and ambition OF the people
among whom it circulates. Thus will
it be seen that grand domestic Jour
nal must be Il sort of mutual affair.
While it is fed and clothed bv the peo-
pie it pays back a good interest to
those who minister to its necessities.
" Send us copy OF your paper" has
gotten TO be stereotyped request COM
ing from Eastern inquirers to the pub
fishers here. To save the expense OF
a journey hither they want us to send
them mirror OF the country and they
know very we'll that a good paper is
such mirror. For years, the papers
of Washington Territory have been
scattered like autumn leaves through
out the Eastern and Northwestern
States, telling the people the story of
our beautiful sunset land and it is
mainly due to printers ink that
Washington is what she is to-day.
AS, on the one side, the local paper
goes hand in hand with its patrons so,
on the other side, does it go hand in
hand with the great metropolitan pa
pers OF the land. All in all, news
papers are the educators of the people
and the moulders of public sentiment.
Newspapers are moral reformers and
civilizers. They build cities and rail-
roads. They constitute the thews
and motive power of the worlds So
ciety. Newspapers are destined to be
largely instrumental in the final
emancipation OF our race from its
besetting sins. The religious news
papers of the world are more potent
in this direction, to-day, than all the
pulpits in Christendom.
But the local paper was our theme
and we must not be too enthusiastic.
The following words from Senator
Davis speak exactly to the point.
Let them be well pondered and then
acted upon by all concerned: Each
year every paper gives from $500
to $4,000 in free lines for the bene-
fit of the community in which it is 10
Gated. The local editor in proportion
to his means, does more for town
than any other ten men, and
in all fairness, man with man, he
ought to be supported, not because
you happen to like him or admire his
writings, but because a local paper is
the best investment community can
make. The editors of local papers do
most work for least money of any men
on earth. Subscribe for your local
paper. not as a charity, but as an invest
ment.

From the daily Of Friday.

The failure of the steamer to arrive
at her usual hour, last night caused a
postponement of the reception to be
rendered Hon. S. S. Cox, for which a
large concourse of people had assem-
bled at Columbia hall. The honorable
gentleman arrived on the Hayward,
about 10 o'clock, and was Immediately
driven to the Carlton, where apart
ments had been engaged for him.
This morning large number of our
prominent citizens paid their respects
to the distinguished visitor, at the ho-
tel, and about IL o'clock, in company
with Ex-Governor Semple, he called on
the Constitutional Convention in ses-
sion at the Capitol, where he was treat
ed with great respect and honor. At
o'clock this afternoon, many of our
citizens assembled at Columbia hall,
and Mr.. Cox was presented to the peo-
pie collectively by Ex-Governor Semple,
in brief address of welcome.
Mr.. Cox responded in speech of
about an hours length, in which he
highly eulogized our Territory and her
brilliant prospects on merging into
Statehood. He alluded to his part in
placing Washington in the line of pro-
motion, with evident pride and salts
faction. 1t was speech that no sum-
mary could do justice to, replete with
wit, humor, pathos, sentiment and
matters of principles and fact. 1t was
an eloquent Grafton, which made a
deep impression upon all who heard it.
Mr.. Cox is native of GAINESVILLE,
Ohio, and graduate OF Brown Uni
versity. He adopted the profession of
the law, and about thirty years ago
occupied the editorial chair in his ma
tive State. He was a member of the
Thirty seventh and Thirty-eighth Con.
crosses from Ohio, and occupied inn
portant chairmanships on committees
both terms. He was delegate to the
Chicago Convention in 1884 and the Ma
tiOnal Union Convention in 1886. On
his retirement from Congress he set
tied in the city of New York, and was
elected to represent that common
wealth in the Fortieth Congress, a po-
sition he has since filled with the ex-
ception of two years from 1885, when
he accepted the mission to Turkey
which he resigned, and was immedi-
ately reelected to his seat in Congress
Amid all these active public duties
Mr.. Cox has found time to write sew.
eral works on general and political
topics, which have obtained foremost
rank in the literature of the day.
Mr.. Cox is small in stature, with
compact frame, wears dark beard Gu,
quite short, and possesses n counte
nance of remarkable expression, vary.
ing with the emotions that fit through
his active and vigorous brain. He
possesses in no small degree, that
magnetic power" which controls
men.

Is was strange mixture of sacred
and secular ideas, if, as is represented
by an Oregonian correspondent, a minis
ter in one of our churches, last Sunday
(who it is evident was filled quite rs
much with local enthusiasm as the in.
spiration derived from contemplation
of sacred things) announced in
an absent-minded way that his text
might be found in "Owing's Ad-
dition, Lot 2, Block T." The slip
will doubtless be pardoned by the
most sanity Of sinners, from patri.
otto motives if nothing else, and they
will probably find some satisfaction in
the memory that this is not the first
time that Old Nick's name has been
mixed up with matters connected with
the transfer OF land interests.

Divine Recognition.

Probably one OF the sharpest and
most doggcdly contested debates SO far
had in the Constitutional Convention
was that OF last Monday, as to whether
there should tie mention of Divine rec
ignition in the Constitution OF tho
State oi Washington. IT will be re-
mcmhcrcd that the preamble as first
read. ran thus: We the people OF
the State of Washington, to preserve
our rights, do or,jain this Constitution
Mr. Dyer then offered the following
substitute We, the people OF the
State OF Washington, grateful to Al
mighty God for the blessing Of liberty
and self-government, and in order tC
preserve our rights, do ordain thi:
Constitution"
Finally, Mr. Turner moved that the
following he adopted as substitute
for the preamble and Mr.. Dwyer'.
amendment: 1--WE, the people o.
Washington, in order to form a more
Independent and perfect government
establish justice, insure tranquility
provide for the common defense, pro
mote the general welfare and insure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves
and our posteritv, profoundly grateful
to Almighty God for this incstimable
right, and invoking His favor and
guidance, do ortlain and establish the
following Constitution and form OF
government for the State of Washing
tom
Mr.. Dyer's amendment is a terse and
modest recognition of an over.
ruling Providence in the affairs OF
men, and the sentiment it inculcates
would he regarded as sound orthodoxy
in any religion under heaven and
among men. The question, however,
was subjected to long and tedious
discussion. Now it matters little
what action is taken upon such a
question rs this in any Legislative body.
There is conviction in every man S
mind that leads TO a tacit, ii not an
acknowledged, recognition OF God in
the universe, and If in the universe,
most assuredly in all the details OF hui
man events.
A man may as well give expression
as implication to what he believes is
right and proper under all circum-
stances. The delegate most opposed
to "God in the Constitution" bellies
himself every time he writes a letter to
his wife and dates it "1SS9." In SIM
ply stating the year, the month and
day he acknowledges the existence,
and absolute rule and do
of the Almighty, whose name
he would so zealously ignore in the
preamble of State Constitution.
The common affairs OF every civilized
country in the world are hinged on the
Christian calender. The value of
every business matter stated in writing,
every legal document and every act of
depends upon an admis-
sion of the alleged fact that Jesus
Christ was born upon Il certain date in
the reign OF Augustus Cesar Any
OF such an acknowledgment
invalidates the instrument. Who
would buy piece OF property if the
epoch of time "Anno Domino" were
left out of the deed, or what reliance
would the courts place upon the re-
corded copy of such an indenture if no
mention were made of the past histor-
ical time of the world in which the
was made. Finally, if the
Constitution be properly dated when
it is submitted to the people, it will
carry ON its face divine recognition
implied or expressed; then, we have
God in the Constitution.

The Power Of Advertising.

Few people have the smallest con-
ception of the extent to which popular
advertising is carried in the metropoli-
tan and country papers OF the United
States. Still less are the people, gen.
orally, posted in regard to the magni-
tude OF the prices paid by princcly
firms and corporations. i'll the larger
cities, for their regular yearly and
monthly advertisements. While for
tunes are paid each year, by many
establishments for the advertisement of
their business, there it ever a return
current in a thousand streams bring
ing back into the Golfers of such bust
ness houses profitable returns for all
that they have invested in printers
ink. Like bread cast upon the waters,
the advertising patronage of news
paper is sure 10 return in copious
streams to the advertisers.
A New York expert has been col
Letting a few facts regarding the sums
paid for advertising in few of the
leading newspapers and periodicals Of
the country. For example, the price
for a single page advertisement, for
one issue, in the Century magazine, is
$500. While this seems exorbitant,
it should be remembered that such a
magazine is scattered like snow flakes
throughout the length and breadth Of
the land and across the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans into every English
speaking corner of the world. The
Harpers charge $500 for SINCE issue
OF a page advertisement; other prOmi-
nent magazines charge $3.50, those Of
less note 5000. And so the scale de-
clines to 800, and $50, and even less
according to the prominence and pop
ularitity of the periodical. But here
are some higher figures. A yearly adj
vertisement, comprising one column
in the Chicago Tribune costs 10000.
The New York Tribune has scale OF
column-rates ranging from $4,000 to
$4,000 per year, according to the page
upon which the column is chosen by
the advertiser A similar price list
in the New York Herald ranges from
$4,000 to about $350,OOO.
Perhaps the most wonderful part
of the whole matter is the fact that the
papers and magazine cited above, and
hundreds OF others of like character,
never 60 begging for matter to fill
their advertising columns, but on the
contrary, they are always full. Thus
it may be seen that the money in
volved in the advertising business of
this country goes up into the hun
dreds of millions.

We Mean Business .


The announcement of Col. Owings,
as published in yesterdays OLYMPIAN,
in regard to the railroad project comes
like bright ray of light, and its i'm
port should inspire everybody with
new hope as to the prosperity of our
city. If this announcement means
anything, it means that railroad con-
nection between Olympia and Gray's
Harbor on the one hand and Olympia
and the outer world or the other, is a
foregone conclusion and only ques-
ton of n few months at the longest.
The gentlemen who have the manage
ment of this business may be relied on
as menwho are thoroughly acquainted
with the magnitude OF the undertaking,
and if they receive proper encourage
ment from the people the work will be
commenced at the stipulated time
and pushed on to speedy consuma-
ton.
Once completed and operating, this
road will be one of the great thews
for the upbuilding of Olympia and its
surroundings.
In one year from the time that pas
senger and freight trains begin to run
over this road from Gray's Harbor to
Olympia and thence to transconti-
mental connection, the Capital City
will have doubled its population and
trebled its commerce. Railroads arc
to any country what arteries are to
the physical body, the great avenues
through which the elements of life,
health and prosperity flow. Talk up
the railroad, then, and not only talk it
up but work it up. Stand by the pro-
| iectOrs
