andTomWard, champion middle weight

Westside. believing that in union
there is strength, enacted over again
the Declaration of Independence, last
Thursday. They came over to the
city, procured a marriage license, and
were forthwith made one and insepa-
rable, now and forever This is not a
bad way to spend the Fourth OF July.
The members of the Constitutional
Convention were considerably surprised
on their advent to the Capitol build
ing, to find no water appliances, either
for drinking or as a preventive against
fire. John A. Lighter, the energetic
Sergeant-at-Arms, after hard kick,
obtained large cistern containing
about twenty-five barrels, and a num-
ber of fire buckets. We are sorry to
state that the neighboring residents
refused to supply the Capitol with wa
ter. This places them at great in
convenience, as the City Water Works
have not yet reached that locality, but
hope to soon.

The Territorial Teachers Institute
Of the Second Judicial District, to-
gether with the annual Teachers In
stitute oi Thurston county, met in
joint session at Tacoma Hall this
morning, with Hon. J. II. Morgan in
the chair. Miss Nina French was
elected Secretary, and Charles v.
Leach Assistant Secretary. The prom
inent business before the meeting was
a preliminary consideration Of the

by the teachers themselves, but also
by several members of the Constitu-
tional Convention, and some repre-
sentatives of eastern and California

In reply to correspondent who
asks why the OLYMPIAN did not pub
lish Mr.. Wheelwright's Fourth of July
Grafton. delivered in this city, wo state
that short time after its delivery a
request was made for the manuscript,
but it had already been delivered to
representatives OF the Tacoma papers,
and that as it appeared in the morn
ing issues of those journals, many
hours in advance of the next succeed
ing issue of this paper, we did not
deem it advisable to play seeond-6ddle
to Tacoma music. 1t may have been
expecting too much to anticipate that
the distinguished orator would have
given the preference to the local press,
representing the people whose guest
he was, but in the innocence of our
heart we held to that belief, and on re-
Election, we must acknowledge that
there seems to be some propriety in a
city which furnished the orator, the
reader, the band, the soldiers and the
Indians, to likewise supply the after
math of exultation, on the principle
that the "horns and tallow" generally
go with the hide.

Unions organized. The President, in
few brief remarks, made some
suggestions as to place of work.
She being from the State OF
Kansas, says she has seen more
drunkenness here in the last few
months thar she saw in nearly ten
years in Kansas. She emphasizes the
statement that prohibition in Kansas
does prohibit" Mrs. Shaffer, of Taco
ma, President OF West Washington W.
C. T. U. being present, called attention
to the importance OF Loyal Legions,
young women's work, and mothers
meetings as lines of work directly pro,
noting social purity. She also spoke
of the importance of securing the aid

ton of temperance truth. The meet.
