The Great DE witt Talmage.

Mr.. Talmage, whose sermons are
published by over 5000 newspapers
every week, will speak at the opera
house in Salem on Friday, Aug. ODD.
OF him the Union Era says: Mr..
Talmage has proved that he can
gather a regular Sabbath congrega-
ton of five thousand hearers, and
that he can make himself effectively
heard by that number of people.
He Is one of those preachers who
really belong to mankind at large.
Most people who try to describe DR..
Talmage begin by saying he is like
somebody, or unlike somebody
else. Now, the fact is he is not like
any other person at all. He is just
"Talmage" all over, with as much
marked individuality AS ever was
concentrated in any one man.

The Monitor, of Lincoln, Illinois,
having dilated, at considerable length,
on the beauty of the numerous maid
ems Of that city, a rival journal of a
neighboring town, intimates that there
is an object to be subserved, thereby,
which does not lie on the surface of
the current of events. 1t claims that
the boom of beauty attempted by the
Lincoln scribe has for its object an
appreciation of real estate values, on the
reasonable hypothesis that young men
who come TO see the fair ones will be
very naturally inclined to invest in
town lots, and by this means will be
inaugurated q season OF prosperity
that will speedily lead to a permanent
growth. If Lincoln has a prospect OF
making this techeme work, how easy
it would be for Olympia to adopt the
same plan, where our natural resOur-
ces, in this respect, as in all others, are
so literally endowed! We assert,
without fear of successful contradiction,
that Olympia has moro pretty women
to the square acre, than any other
portion OF Gods footstool. At least,
that is the frequently expressed
opinion OF those who have travelled ex-
tensively, and had superior means for

In Western Washington without,

bullion OF its water-courses leading
from their mountain sources for irri-
eating purposes, where needed, and in
the mild manner of its elements, in
the equab!eness OF its seasons, and the

Washington is the paradise of human

An Inadequate Remedy.

Tie Seattle Morning Journal wants
the State Constitution to place the

OF either the Governor or tie Legis-
laturc, to guard against tie undue in

t!OH, to affect i choice. 1t seems to
Us that Tie Journal has ! o. suggt sted
a means Of relief b. tie proposed
change. Its position can only be sus
tanned on the hypothesis that enc
man is presumably more Honest than
three, or that three are less honest than
many? VIII the selection made by
tie Executive be accepted rs entirely
free from the suspicion Of bribery,
simply because it is made by the chief
officer Of tie State? Would that
made by the Legislature be entirely
free from faint amid the log-rolling
schemes OF which it would become
part and parcel?
The Journal must look further Tor
TIE means OF relief in this matter.
Humanity is about the same the world
over. Good men and bad men move
in every sphere Of the social and po-
litical realms. The Board of Educa-
ton would, probably, be chosen from
the ranks Of educators, having pride
in their work, as life mission. They
would be, consequently, free from the
motives which prompt the average
politician, who generally considers the
highest State Office stepping-stone to
Congressional honors. They would
have fewer friends to please and re-
ward, who might by the use of "filthy
lucre" be induced to lobby the Gov
ernor as we'll as the Legislature. In
fact, We think that the power as it now
rests, is in the proper place. Educa-
ton is a study, and the management
of all its details should be left to those
whose hearts, as we'll as their hands,
are enlisted in the work.

OLYMPIA never was SO much in

Every shanty, every place of shelter,
is taken; upper rooms in all parts Of

simply because they cannot find -habi-

should be an effort to supply. Our

will be the most prosperous Olympia

sum they propose to erect the new
hotel before the Constitutional Con-
vention assemblies on the 4th Of July.

hotel will do more TO keep the capital
there than anything undertaken for

The Olympia and ChehaliS Valley Railroad

The Montesano Vidette has this to
say Of the new line of railroad in pro-
cess of construction, to the thriving
Gray's Harbor country:
A short time ago, the necessary
bonus asked by this company was
secured. On Wednesday OF this week
the engineers completed the survey of
their line to this city, which we are in
formed will be made the terminus of
the road. It is the intention to build
the road from MOntesano to Olympia,
to connect at that place with the Che
halls valley road, which connects with
the Northern Pacific at Tenino. The
road Is at present a narrow gauge, but
the rails are now on the ground for the
purpose of placing third rail, making
the road a standard gauge. The COM
pany already has six miles Of road
built and in operation from Mud Bay,
near Olympia, in this direction. Mr..
Elwell states that in sixty days the
road will be completed from Mud Bay
to Olympia. and that by January l,
1890, it will be completed and in oper-
alton from Montesano to Tenino, Civ.
ing this city direct communication
with the transcontinental lines of road.
The survey which has just been COM
pleted is the located line OF road, the
chief engineer, who has much expert
ence in railroad surveys, stating that
the route from Olympia to Montesano is
the most practicable, natural and easy
of grade that he has ever seen. The
surveyors left for Olympia but will
return in about week to run q survey
of a branch line from Montesano into
the North river valley. The manager
informs US that branch roads will run
from Montesano to different sections OF
surrounding country.

4 Goggle-Eyed Visitor.

The Tacoma Globe publishe. letter
written by tenderfoot, who sojourned
few days in that city, to his home
paper the Kansas City Star, in which
he advises those who contemplate
coming TO this Territory to stay at
home. He writes: "Ths country is
over rated. The sell is peer bbtaft bit eov-
cred with large timber. The harbors
are good and safe. There is an abun.
dance OF coal OF fair quality, and the
climate in summer is very fine. For
II pleasure trip at that season OF the
year it is hard to beat. The scenery,
hunting, fishing boating and absence
Of wind and sudden changes in tenn
perature make it very desirable, but
on account Of the expense of clearing,
the country will be long time in SET
Ting and the prices OF real estate are
too high by far"
1t seems to us that the Kansas City
man has given some excellent reasons,
in the above quotation why his townies
should disregard his advice. He ad.
mits that some OF our resources are
satisfactory, and that the climate is
altogether preferable to that of Mis-
souri,, which, of course, applies equally
well to the other States east of the
Rocky Mountains when comparison
in this matter is instituted. He even
admits that We have large timber,
which scores another point in our
favor, although it was evidently far
from his Intention to write anything
that could be construed into an en-
corsement of our advantages.
The assertion that this country is
oyer-rated is not true. In fact the
whole truth has not yet been told re-
garding our marvellous resources, and
this fact is admitted and commented
upon as something unusual by OBJ
serving visitors. The best answer to
the assertion that the sol is poor is
easily controverted by facts. The first
prize for the best wheat exhibited at
Philadelphia, at the Centennial Ex-
hibit!on, against the word, was award
ed to resident of our Territory, for
grain grown within six miles of Olym-
pis, and for quantity Of yield no place
on the habitab!e globe begins to CON-
pare with the grain fields of Eastern
Washington, where from thirty to
sixty bushels per acre have been grown
from tie sams ground the past twenty
years, without exhausting the soil.
The yield OF other cereal crops is
equally phenomenal. Our hops COM
mand the admiration of the world, in
quality as we'll as the quantity raised
per acre. And when it comes to po-
tatoes, with product of 600 bushels
per acre, and other root crops with
ayield in like proportion, We do not feel
like laying down the hoe to the most
favored portion of Gods footstool. to
say nothing of old played-out and
WORKOUT Missouri. But we haven't
really got to our strong hold till we
reach our fruits and berries, which ore
of such unusual growth and flavor
that we refrain from statement that
may sound Manchausan-like to our
neighbors across the divide.
All this, however, is but q small por-
ton Of the inducements We have to
offer for settlement. Our resources
embrace almost everything found in
every cline, and the Kansas City man
who couldn't see it must be either
blind or daft.
