1t is a mistake to suppose that the
Capital will be removed from Olympia
The facts in the case are that the peo
pie of Washington rs whole are sat
isfied with the present location, and
it is only those towns that want to
boom corner lots in their own particu-
lar locality that favor removal. That
argument is not strong enough.
Some people say that there must be
shrinkage in values in the North,
west. There is logic in this idea to
some extent, for the simple reason that
in all new localities too much paper in
the shape of notes, mortgages, etc, get
in circulation, and there must be a
general leveling up. Olympia is one
of the few towns of the Northwest that
can pay every dollar she owes on de-
mand. Her property sells for what it
is legitimately worth, and candid, con-
sentative men, whose judgment have
always been good, say her success is
assured.
Governor Moore to-day received a
dispatch from Frank Hatton, Assist
ant Postmaster General and editor OF
the Washington ID. CO. Post, stating
that a movement is on foot for the
removal of Gen. Grants remains from
the neglected spot where they now rest
to either the National cemetery at Ar
lington or the Soldiers Home grounds
near Washington. The Post will be
glad if you will wire briefly your views"
To this Governor Moore replied: at has
always seemed to me that the appropri-
ate resting place for Gen. Grants re-
mains were with his old comrades in
arms at the national cemetery, or at Ar
lington. The National Capital should
have gathered about it not only the
graves OF the National illustrious
dead, but whatever of monuments,
statues or paintings that will tend to
stir the national pride or awaken pa
triotic inspiration"
