year a6o last month, there have been
1t least half-a-dozen blazes Of greater

The FIRE originated in the Colman
Block, corner of West and Marion
streets, two-story corrugated iron
building covering an area of 12O by
ITO feet and is supposed to have COM
municated from crossed electric
wire. As usual, the water supply
from the CITY mains, was found to be
Inadequate, and some time was lost
in changing positions of the engines
to the bay. but the department did
good service, and had the fire under
control soon as their appliances could
b brought to bear.

The enumeration of Olympia by
the census officers, according to Mr..
Jenkins, the district supervisor, aggre-
gates 400, which must strike every
body as very much under the actual
number of residents at this time. The
work everywhere and especially in
this State, seems to have been very
imperfectly done. Seattle, Tacoma,
Spokane Falls and Portland were all
protesting against INSTRUMENTATION
and several of these cities have pro-
posed to make a recount at their own
expense, so confident are they that
the showing would be much more sat
isfactory. 1t is hardly to be expected
that the census reports will show pre-
cisely the full figures, rs there must of
necessity be some omissions and there
is scarcely a probability OF duplication
of the names ON the lists in any given
It is fair to assume,
therefore, that Olympia's population
exceeds 5000 of actual residents,
which number is now augmented by
nearly a thousand railroad employees
on the several routes of transportation
to this city. According to the official
Olympia ranks fifth in the
State as regards population.

By their Own Words are They Con-
demned.


The Tribune declares that " the
latest move OF the Democracy is to
" throw all sorts of odium on the last
legislature" Ii it is true, the Demo
Gratis have strong Republican prece-
dent for their course. 1t will be re-
membered that during the session
nearly every Republican newspaper in
the State was in the "odium throw
ing" business, led 10y the Oteqoaida and
the Post-InteHigercer. What has Ell
fected the change which the Tribune
assumes has taken place, and which
it, like the ostrich when it hides its
head in the sand, pretends not to see?
Is it real, or have not the "odium'
throwers, in obedience to the beck OF
Gov. Ferry when he besplattered the
Legislature with whitewash at final
djournment, resolved to eat their own
words and swallow their own "odium"
in the effort made for publication ?
Party necessity, in Republican
usage, knows no rule by which it can
be held to accountability for any of
its acts. 1t can blow hot and cold in
the same breath; throw "odium"
when it suits and substitute sweet
words of cancellation and praise when
occasion warrants, but the STANDARD
proposes to show up the fallacy OF
such course, as it does now when it
merely refers to the merciless but just
structures OF the Republican press, OF
the acts of an almost unanimously
Republican legislature, when it was
making the history they SO heartily
condemned. Oh Consistency, thou
art indeed jewel!
