EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: Veterans In
this vicinity are wasting breath in anathemas
on the Boston Herald, which, in recent edi-
toTial, attempted TO show that they are not the
high minded patriots the people gave them
credit for being, because quarter century
after the war closed they express a willingness
TO have the Government give them q trihe from
its bounty as a slight recompense for the sery-
ices which they rendered without hope of re-
ward from '6l to 20. The editorial was in
answer 20 n plea made by Grand Army man
in lis columns for governmental recognition Of
the soldier in a degree commensurate with the
material benefit derived by the bondholders
aud the manufacturers from Government pat
ronage. All in vain! If there is a newspaper
anywhere north Of Dixie less friendly to the
old soldier than this same Boston Herald we
have yet TO hear its name.-B, Cambridgeport,

took up our weary march TO Aiken'5 Landing,

The public generally, and the business
men Of Olympia in particular, will regret
to learn Of the resignation from the post
office, of Miss Bell Corwin. For nearly
two years Miss Corwin has presided at the
stamp, registry and money order windows,
besides doing the clerical work of the en-
tire Office. Her courteous and even dispo-
sition to please and her lady-like manner
have won for her the respect and esteem of
everybody. The slow and sleepy Indian
and the most nervous business man were
treated alike with the same degree of cour-
tesy and attention. She has been obliging,
accommodating and accurate n the
speedy transaction Of business with the
public, and her resignation may detract
much from the efficiency Of the service.
Miss Corwin first entered the postofffce
temporarily, but her services SO much
pleased the postmaster that he induced her
to remain. Miss Corwin will leave shortly
for her home in Tacoma, where the best
wishes of may friends will follow her.

0LYMPIA'S FUTURE.
Extract from a Pamphlet by Gen
eral Hazard Stevens.


General Stevens in his admirably illus
trated pamphlet on olympia says:
By an overwhelming vote of the people
under the provisions Of the constitution
Olympia was made the permanent capital
! of the state and cannot be divested of ii
except by an amendment Of the constitu.
ton itself
Congress has endowed the new state with
one hundred and thirty-two thousand
acres of land for the erection of suitable
capital buildings, and this princely grant,
worth today one and half million dol
lars, and rapidly increasing in value, in
sures the erection of capitol worthy a
state of such .bouudles resources and mag
niticent future.
The capital of such a state as Washing
ton would alone suffice to build up no
mean city The permanent residence Of
the governor and state officers the seat of
the United States land and surveyor-gen-
erals offices, the place of meeting of the
Legislature, the supreme court and many
state boards-must attract considerable
population. Olympia, too, is city of
homes, OF schools, OF gardens, and fruit
trees and shade trees, a city which draws
visitors, and attracts families of means
and refinement, families with children to
school and bring up, as place Of resi-
dence.
There is no reason to doubt that Olympia
in the next ten years will become a city of
$4,000 population. She may not become a
great seaport and commercial center like
Seattle or Tacoma, but she will be second
to them alone.
Perhaps no more satisfactory evidence
can be found than the opinions of men of
known ability and wide experience, and
certainly none are keener nor more obser-
want than the managers of the great rail
road systems. The fact that so many lines
have made Olympia their objective shows
clearly the confidence these able men have
in her future growth.
Another opinion, prophetic and remark
able because made alta time when the town
was extremely dull and depressed, being
completely side-tracked by the Northern
Pacific railroad, was uttered by Gen. Sher-
man in brief speech to the citizens, when
he visited Olympia some years ago. Cen
Sherman then told his somewhat surprised
auditors that Olympia was natural STRAIT
egic and commercial point, and that one of
the greatest cities on the Sound would one
day grow up there.
