EALsEHooD PURE AND SIMPLE.

North Yakima has much to congratu-
late herself over in the result Of the Capt.
tai vote. She stands second in the race

efforts Of her two opponents against her.
She made . clean, vigorous and honOra-
be contest against one Of miRepresenta-
ton, Islander and falsehood. Her oppo-
nents sent up the cry that this was
Northern Pacific town, and that the com
pany was aiding rs BY il influence and
money. Even after the contest Is over,
the EIlensburgh RSOisisr asserts that
North Yakima was aided BY the 'fnAu-
ence and plethorie Golfers Of the Northern
Pacific" For the benefit Of the RegiSisT
and those voters who were deceived BY
this cEy, the Herald win now state that Il

the Northern Pacific or any Of its officials

this town, or take any stand whatever In

THE vote A YEAR HENCE.


Spokane Falls Review: The majority In
Spokane county for Yakima as the capi-
tai d $50. It's plurality over Ellensburg
In the county d 1867. Olympia received
79S votes and 90 votes were cast for other
places. The strong preference for North
Yakima Is owing 10 the fact that Il Is the
only point In Central Washington that
railroads can and probably will reach
from al the different directions. The
proposition to place the capital at . more
central point than Olympia will doubtless
grow in popular favor during the coming
year, and Is EIlensburg is situated far up
in the mountains and can only be reached
by one canyon (the one now occupied by
the Northern Pacifc) those favoring q
change will doubtless unite on North
Yakima. Olympia, however, will make
another strong fight to retain it, and
should EIlensburg continue In the field
and receive any considerable number Of
votes, the rest may be In favor Of the west
side point II the vote . year hence
should fail to give q majority over all in
favor Of any one place, the vote next time
will be between the two highest and thus
settle the question at least by the third
ballot. Until the question Is finally SET
tied Il il provided that no new state build
ings shall be erected, and II Is perhaps
best that no new buildings should be
erected for few years, even Il the ques-
ton had been settled this time. The old
wooden building at Olympia Is not worth
over thousand dollars and congress has
made liberal provision for state buildings,
but Il will take some time for this fund TO
be made available

Chicago HERALD
Nowadays the newspapers have their
sporting editors, their society editors, their
religious editors, and, in fact, an editor for
every department. said an old-time news
paper publisher yesterday, "but in the old
days things were different. 1 remember
well when the Herald was in its infancy and
when its men turned their hands to almost
every line of work. When Will Eaton was
in charge there was reception to be given
to Jim Blaine by the Union League Club in
the old rooms in the Honore building.
Win summoned reporter and told him to
take the affair in and do it up in stvle.
Have you full-dress suit?' he asked. The
man had not. Well said Will, L think
that mine will just about fit you. I'll give
you an order for it. You go to your room
and put on your very best shirt. Then YOU
take this order, and go to my house, and put
on my dress suit. Well show them that
we can do things in style, even if this is

out with his instructions and the order for
the suit.
"Along about 10 P. NJ one of Eaton's
friends, who had shaken hands with Blaine,
dropped in at the Office and asked: will.
who in - is that man you've got over at

mans name and proudly remarked that he
had gone there in proper style 4 should
