1t is astonishing how an occasional
country reporter can rate himself par
excellence with the leading press of our
grand United States. 1t is the wish
of the people OF Olympia to have the
best possible theatricals, and when a
person of Maude Changers standing
comes to Olympia she should be re-
ceived with open arms. While We ac-
cord to the Tribune reporter the HARM

sun, We object to the idea he seeks 10

from this immediate vicinity, and on
Saturday Telegram was received

found willing to work, although there

Railroad Run,blings.

The report of railway construction
for the fret six months OF the present
year shows that Washington stands
fifth in the number of miles COM
pleted, being lO2, and has in process
Of construction ST. miles, by large
percentage the greatest of any State
in the Union.
The railway race between the North
ern Pacific and the Hunt system from
Centralia to Gray's Harbor is still
stubbornly maintained. The Northern
Pacific had about fifteen miles OF track
laid west Of Centralia, ten days ago,
while Hunt had about eighteen miles
graded and ready for the ties.
The new inclines which have been
built at Kalama by the Northern Pa
cific at a cost of $1,000 will be used
for the first time in about two weeks.
By the new arrangement, including a
more direct route across the Columbia
at that point, from twenty to thirty
minutes time will be saved in making
the transfer.
The Port Townsend Southern is
being pushed with great vigor from
Olympia to Hoods Canal Nearly
1000 men are reported TO be en-
ployed on that division Of this road.
The management is determined to
have the line completed to Portland
by January next, and the prospects
are most favorable to accomplish the
object sought. The contractor is Mr..
C. C. Gilman, and he has very eff
Gent business manager in Mr.. Waite.
The contract for completing the
Berihghams Bay & British Columbia
Railroad from its present terminus on
the Nooksack river to connection with
the Canadian Pacific road will soon be
let. The cost of completing the line
on the American side of the boundary
will be about $4,000, and on the
Canadian side considerable more than
that sum.
A dispatch from st. Paul, dated
July 31st, says: The Northwestern
Rdilroader tomorrow will say: The
Great Northern Railroad line is max
ing active preparations for completing
the line to the Pacific coast. On the
east end the route will start for a
point within three miles east OF Fort
Assinaboine, following the northern
course, which is located to the summit
of the Rockies. Seattle will be the
principal terminus of the line on Puget
Sound. Preparations are also made
for building south from Seattle to-
wards Portland.
George Morrison, Chief Engineer Of
the Union Pacific Company's bridge
across the Columbia ON the road to
Seattle, is in Portland. His plans for
the bridge are about completed, and
work will be begun as soon as all the
legal obstacles to construction are re-
moved. The bridge will be OF steel,
with an upper roadway for wagons,
and will be much the largest bridge
west OF the Rockies. The draw will
be one OF the largest in the world, be-
ing 40 feet long. so feet high and %
feet wide. The draw opening will be
200 feet wide in the clear. The cost
Of the bridge will be million dollars.
J. II. Smith. who has contract for
grading the railroad from Portland to
Puget Sound, is one OF the busiest men
in the country. Although he has had
operations started ehly week, work

The sensation of the past few days
has been the long aelsyed execution
Of Kemmler, the New York murderer,
ct Auburn. Wednesday, by electricity.
The highly.seasoned, sensational nc
cousss furniShel by the Associated
Press could hardly have been excelied
in horrible minutia had they been pre-
Jared by the learned counsel of the
Westinghouse company which made
such persistent and determined fight
against. the use Of dynamos for infiict-
ing the death penalty. 1t has had its
effect. The press, which reflects popular
sentiment more closely than it can as
sume 40 lead rppular opinion, has
with GnI 6lar unapmity condemned Che
methed, without waiting to make that
careful examination and comparison so
essential for q just verdict.
Death in any shape Is attended with
horror to ,iiose whose sensibilities
have not bee.l weakened or subdued
by frequent contemplation of the
change which transforms the animate
form into mere clay. The doctors
nerves remain passive in the presence
Of death. from familiarity with such
scenes. The death penalty by hang
ing has lost its horrors for the multi
tude, BECAUSE it is oneof the forms
thashes grosA up with civil govern
menu The people have read of it,
thought OF IT, and many of then,
witnessed it, until the spectacle OF q
fellow being strangaed TO death by =
piece Of rope on . cross-arm seems at.
tended with far less horror than the
almost instant and doubtless painless
means sef producing the same object
BY !hs invisible force Of an electric
wire.
Most Of the papers, in their COM
ments, dwell upon the cruelty of the
means employed in the late execution
the assl1nption that the condemned
man for . brief interval, suffered ex-
cruciating torture. Scientific opinion
i divided on this point. 1t is now
and probably will be forever unknown,
just how long consciousness remains
after the CURRENT passes through the
body; but will the advocates Of the
old method>claim that it is absolutely
painless, or that consciousness inter-
venes the moment the trap is sprung?
Do not the struggles and contortions
OF the victim on the scaffold indicate
pain ~ plainly as the contraction OF
the muscles did when Kemmler sat in
the executionefs chair?
Then again there is a. great deafo
sentiment wasted upon tie class Of
maleiactors who merit the death pen
atty. Should the law be SO much more
merciful than they were when they
stopped the heart-beats of a fellow NOR
tai = II the penalty is inflicted to re-
strain the commission of murder,
should the assurance be held out to
the red-handed assassin that if his
crime finds him ont he will be waited
70 oblivion on downy beds of ease !
