When the active interest and cor.

press and people throughout the length
and breadth of the State for the reten-
ton OF the Capital at Olympia is con-
sidered it awakens feeling OF graft

pie, as it gives evidence OF the appre-
citation by the people of all localities,
OF the advantages and fitness of this
city for the seat of government, as
compared with North Yakima or FL

the coming election. In maintaining
this, there is no need or disposition to
disparage other cities possessing as
they do, great business enterprise, as
well as agricultural, manufacturing
and commercial advantages and facili-
ties for transportation, and, therefore,
the general expression of the press and
the people Of the State in our favor,
evinces on their part an eaEnest desire
to promote the greatest good to the
greatest number, and disposition so
unsel6sh as to promptly and gener-

A prominent citizen who has resided
in Olympia few months, has received
many letters from his Eastern friends
asking, How do you like Olympia?'
to which he returned this answer;
OLYMPIA, WASH, October seven,
The pretticst place this side OF heaven,
Where Eden fruits, upon the ground,
Lie in abundance all around.
Apple and cranberry, plum and pear,
Each one OF them beyond compare;
And these may hc eaten, both one and
all,
Without any danger Of mourning fall.
Unless one eats too much, and then the
grief,
\ common physician can give relief,
! Zero unknown in this favored spot;
summer time never exceedingly hot.
Iealthiest place on all the earth;
! klcncSt lallu III lnlTlIlSlC NOItll,
For there is no better kind OF wealth
Than the undyins riches of perfect health
Water the purest, in ripping rills,
Coming down from the pine-clad hills;
Fir trees standing like columns tall,
Hills round about. yerdant wall.
Land and sea together meet,
For the praise of man they both com
pete;
Better than Yakima, by all odds,
This Olympia City Home OF tho
Gods
The swinging hammer, the workman
song,
Is heard ill the streets the whole day
long;
Ever and anon, there's a solid boom,
As of cannon ball sent to its doom.
, But listen again, be not afraid,
IT'S only the charge OF the labor brigade
The sound OF dread is the cannonade
OF the blasting done on the railroad
grade.
/ The rain-it raineth not every day,
, The skies are not always dull and gray
Storms of sand are quite unknown,
Billiards reach not this favored zone.
The people are happy, devoid OF shams
There is plenty to eat, both plums AM
clans;
Delightful place, with charms profound
This Olympia City-Gem OF the Sound.

The Daily Capital made its
appearance last Monday, after a
week of delay occasioned by the
go-as-you-please freight schedule
now in operation between this city
and Portland. 1tpresents a credit
oble appearance geographically,
and is edited with marked ability.
The STANDARD predicted, on the
appearance of the Tribune that its
existence would probably create the
necessity for anotherjpaper, but we
hardly thought that the necessity
would appear in just the manner
it has-as a medium of explaining
political vagaries and to patch
ing up the party breaks made by
the Tribune. IT'S well. There is
an old adage, which runs, L" When
rogues fall ont honest men get
their Dues" and it is likely to be
verified in this instance. 1t is,
therefore, in a perfect sincerity
that we wish the new candidate for
popular favor reasonable meas
IRE of success.

Pioneers.

1t is hardly possible to fully realize
the extent of our Indebtedness to the
brave pioneers, who amidst hardships
and privations, toll incessant and de-
gree of discomfort no language can
portray, pursued their long and weary
journey across the continent to the
Gland OF the setting SUM-"
They had much in common with
those Pilgrim Fathers, who will be held
in grateful remembrance so long as
America retains heart of love and
honor for those who laid the founda-
ton of her, as yet, unmeasured great
ness. None can dispute the faults of
the Pilgrim Fathers; they were stern,
fanatical, intolerant; they prosecuted
the Quakers and the Baptists; they
burned with holy and deadly wrath
against all who dared to dispute their
dark religion or their right to govern
this country in its name. But none
the less they were men and women Of
massive and heroic mould, of grand
and rarcst virtues, of spirit so fearless
and conscientious and devoted, that to-
day we owe them the very traits OF
our national character.
1t wis the love of freedom, the spirit
of adventure and enterprise, the power
of endurance, q strong desire and con-
scious ability to subdue and improve
the Wilderness, making it blossom like
the rose," rich with fruits and golden
grain in other words. it was their over
powering ambition to establish homes,
with health and comfort, intelligence
and peace therein, which together with
the tough fibre of their moral constitu-
tons, that made the life of the Pioneers
OF this great Northwest country parallel
with the Pilgrims, or "Old Settlers"
of 1920.
IL is not, however, our purpose to
draw comparisons or dwell upon idcn-
titles, but to note the fact that chain
of fortuitous circumstances brought the
early settlers to this section, where with
an equable climate, wonderful in its
mildness, salubrity and tone, with fer
tile soil, great and varied resources,
with exhnustless natural wealth, with
elbow-room and opportunity, they have,
within the short period Of little more
than thirty years, been enabled to be-
hold large and prosperous cities and
towns spring into existence, manufac-
lures and commerce established, a
thriving and happy rural population,
a free, populous, educated and booming
commonwealth, another star upon the
Nations flag.
1t is indeed gratifying that so many
have survived to witness and enjoy the
fruits of their labors, goodly heritage
for their children and their children's
children for untold generations.
And to that little band of large.
hearted, intelligent pioneers, who were
led to make this beautiful spot by the
sea their abiding-place, are we deeply
and especially indebted, for they were,
even in that early day, actuated by the
faith or inspiration-call it what you
will-that made them strong and con-
fident that Olympia, SO finely situated
and so beautifully surrounded, would
not only be the home Of q cultured
enterprising and hospitable people, but
the seat, now and evermore, of a free
government for a free people.

Mr.. Burleigh and Col. Eddy de-
voted several hours last evening, at
Columbia Hall, to misrepresenting
the Democratic position on the
tariff question. They groped
among the rusty records of past
age, when conditions were quite
different from what they now are,
for their starting point, and came
down to as late a period as the
adoption of the Confederate Con-
stitution for a conclusion, but per-
sistently ignored the platform Of
the past generation for an express
sion of policy on this important
question. These gentlemen tried
manfully by frequent reiteration to
prove that the Democratic party
favors free trade, the only position
on which their own party can now
maintain a foothold in the discus
sion of this question. A tariff for
revenue, with incidental protection,
and an adjustment of duties SO as
to fall upon luxuries, mainly, and
lightly on the necessities of life,
the true Democratic doctrine, was
not stated in either gentleman's
speech, but the false assertion that
the whole creed Of the party was
embraced in a tariff for revenue
only, was substituted, and on this
fimsy premise, they based Their
whole argument. The foundation
being unsound, the fabric fell Of
its own weight and the speciou'
sophistry deceived nobody who has
brains enough to do his own think
ing. The fact is apparent that the
new position of the great mogul Of
the party, James &. Blaine, or
this question, has disgruntled the
small fry politicians, and in theil
endeavor to gain possession of the
Democratic plank they adopt the
piratical plan of jostling overheard
its Legitimate owners. To what
desperate straits are professional
politicians driven in an emergency
like this!

The Neacs Democrat says Col. Loudon
shed the lions skin in which he had
been masquerading, in his speech at the
soldiers reunion at Manchester. The
trouble with the Ne,os is, that unless a
speaker begins to apologize for the boys
invading the sacred precincts of the
South during the late unpleasantness,
and uses very compromising language
generally, it is considerd a radical
harrangue. We did not hear the Col.
onels speech but presume the speaker
got warmed up under the collar and
said some naughty things about those
fellows who attempted to dissolve the

The Secret Of Libby Prison.

One dark night in February, 1854,
more than hundred Union officers, es-
capped through the tunnel of Libby
Prison, Richmond. The Confederate
sentinel on guard at the time was true
to the Southern Confederacy, and saw
the shadowy figures as they emerged
into the light of the street lamp, and yet
did not challenge or fire upon them. It
has long been a source of wonderment
why he acted thus, and the real reason
has never been made public. The tue
explanation is given in No. IA of The
Holiday, which paper will be sent, on
receipt of five cents, to any address in
the country. Address The Holiday, 19
