THE NEW WARWICK.

Wishing to learn the strength of the man from
West Seattle, Capital reporter interviewed
number in the hotel rotuuda today, with the fol-
lowing results; Steve Judson-"Who is Ewing?
I've been in politics good while, but never
heard of him" Senator Van Houten-"Is he a
Republican or Democrat" Major Routhe-
"What was the name? / never heard of him"
George HazZard-"He must be novice in pol
itics. / can't place him. Colonel Reiuhart-
Ewing is getting in shape to be elected on the
West Seattle school board. He is only here to be
noticed" And SO 1t went. Nearly all of the
men approached had not heard OF Ewing, and
some thought his hailucination on the senatorial
question was only real estate dodge. At any
rate, he is the clown of the circus. The Calkins
men are trying to get his money, but as yet he
has not put his hands in his pockets. 1t viii
come, though, for he can not stand the f1attery
dealt out by the Tacoma men. They say be has
great future before him, and he was SO pleased
by the compliments last night that ii is claimed
he wrote himself letter, congratulating Ewing
OF West Seattle on bis apparent running jump
into popularity. olympia Capitol.
Nelson Bennett remains in charge of Calkins'
rooms, but his churlish manner and boorish
ways are distasteful TO the majority of members
and but few have frequented the "jedge's"
headquarters during the day or evening.
Ewing, with all his profanity and obsceni.y OF
language, is a decided improvement on the fat
dwarf who pierced the Cascades.-Sposcne
Spokesman.
General Tom Ewing also departed for Seattle,
to return early next week, and his bluff, hearty
manner is missed at the Calkins headquarters.
The judge is by no means alone, however, and
as he casts his eyes over the throng that is con-
stantly passing to and from his rooms he must
feel proud at heart.-Tacoma Globe.
Poor Tom Ewing, he OF great birthstone Ian
guage and solid rock, his leadershipwas of short
duration and his exit was humorous With
Ewing as the clown and Calkins as the panto-
mine, what funny pair they are.-Spokane
Spokesman.
The revolt of General Tom Ewing, who turned
the tide in Squire's favor year ago, and his
brilliant work for Calkins, aided by several
other influential Seattleites, has had most dis
printing effect upon the Squire forces.-T Tacoma

THE STATE PRESS.

Hoquiam Tribune: Olympia is now the scene
OF marked activity. The advent OF railroad
together with the Hocking OF legislators to their
seats for the opening yesterday must give the
little capital quite busting appearance. The
new legislators are. of course, all agog to get TO
work and show at the start that they are not
half so yerdant as they may look. When they
come to ballot for United States senator in less
than two weeks they will have an opportunity
to exhibit their alleged sense or nonsense by
promptly voting for the most popular candidate
now in the field-the Hon. Watson G. Squire.
Yakima Herald: 1t will be remembered that
the plant of the Yakima Signal was sold to the
Prohibitionists and moved to Seattle. where 1t
was used in the publication of the Leader, in
which organ of cold water a number OF Yakima
people were financially interested. The Leader
has recently suspended, aud Editor John Bush
nell assigns the cause to lack of financial back
ing on the part of his constituency. The latter
say that they withdrew their support because
Bushnell conducted the%paper in sensational
manner and because he allowed paper pub
iished in the interest of the saloon element to
be printed on the Leader press.
Spokane Spokesman: Calkins' head is up and
his back is straight, but 1t is Northern PACING
golden rod that stifens him.

best paper ever issued north OF San Francisco.
The matter was presented in an attractive form;
the articles were complete and interesting, and
the information 1t contained was invaluable.
Senator Wilson and II. C. Park had exhaustive
articles on Kittitas county and Ellensburg re-

interest. Altogether it was model paper OF

THE POETS SCRAP BOOK.

My friend the poet keeps a book,
In which these many years
He gamers sheaves OF nameless song,
Reaped here and there with shears
He read to me once on time
Those fragments of unhonored rhyme,
And was moved to tears.
"These are real poetry" he cried,
"None writ for praise or bread.
Some are the single sob of souls
That else had yoiceless bled;
Brave, patient souls that made no sign
Save in one wall of woe divine;
Il would that were deadi'
"Others are shouts of victory;
Glad, breathless shouts from mountain height
That tell OF rocky SUBMITS won,
And oceans bursting on the sight,
And some, In fiery words and strong,
Arraign the insolence of wrong
The selfshness of might.
"Here, too, are simple lays of love-
Lacking, perhaps, in art.
But sweeter verses ne 'er were sold,
Nor fashioned for the mart;
The maidens lived these ditties praise,
To heavenize dull vulgar days,
And fire the common heart
"This is no common book" he said,
"And nothing here has place
That is not poetry indeed
Passion and depth and grace"
Ali this be said, and deemed 1t sound,
But among the poems found
A woman's tickle face!

THE MINSTREL BOY.

The minstrel boy 20 the war Is gone.
Ia the ranks OF death you find him.
His fathers sword be has girden on
And his wild harp slung behind him.
Land OF song said the warrior bard,
Tho all the world betrays thee.
One sound, al least, thy rights shall guard:
One faithful harp shall praise thee
The minstrel ell!-hut the foenan's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under;
The harp he lOv'd ne'er spoke sgain,
Fer he tore its cords ssuuder; #A
And said, NO chains shall sally thee; y
Thou soul OF love and blessing.
Thy songs were made for the pune ard free,
They shalt never sound in slaveryfa
