STATE CAPITOL.

Olympia is quite different looking city
from the state capital of two years ago,
when the second legislature met here. It
has improved steadily since that time in its
highways, buildings and surroundings, and
will present much more metropolitan air
than in January, 1891. The splendid new
county court house which will confront the
members of the new legislature in 1898 will
doubtless suggest that some preliminary
arrangements shall be made looking to the
construction of a state capitol COM
mensurate with the greatness Of
the state. The old territorial cap
itol, which is still doing duty for the
state, has no modern conveniences and is
not pleasant place in which to do busi-
ness for the commonwealth. Congress has
provided the means for magnificent
structure, and it remains for the legisla-
ture and state officials to put the neces-
sary machinery in motion. AS matter
of state pride alone the new capitol should
be constructed as soon as possible

A MYTH.

Hon. Louis E. McComas, of Maryland,
has been appointed associate justice of the
supreme court of the District of Columbia.
This is direct slap in the face at home
rule, by the president. The District of Co
lumbia has scores of able lawyers, and has
population Of quarter of million peo-
pie, but they have no vote. 1t is Just such
monkey business as the above that dis
gusts people with the politicians But few
of the working democrats in Washington
City have a very friendly feeling for Grover
Cleveland, on account of his disregard of
home rule. They say that when president
before, he imported into the District the
worst kind of "social equality nigger'
from Massachusetts, and appointed him to
the best Office in Washington City-re-
corder Of deeds. Home rule appears to be
pretty much of myth at the capital Of
the nation.

A Gard OF the Postal Telegraph
COmuauw

A Gard OF the Postal Telegraph
Company.
President A. B. Chandler of the Postal
Telegraph-Cable company, has issued a
circular in which he says: "Rumors to
the effect that the Western Union Tele-
graph company has purchased, or will
soon purchase or control, the Postal Tele-
graph-Cable company, have been and are
circulated by stock brokers and others, evil
IDENTIFY for speculative purposes. This is
to assure our patrons and the public that
no consolidation, purchase, or any other
arrangement, by which the Postal Tele-
graph-Cable company ceases to be an abso-
lutely independent and competing tele-
graph system has been made or is contem-
plated. The Postal company has during
the past i've years had an unprecedented
growth. 1t has pursued a business-Iike
and straightforward policy. 1t has not
only greatly improved the handling of its
own business, in speed, accuracy and form,
put 1t has made 1T necessary for its great
and only competitor, the Western Union
company, to adopt similar methods in
order to hold business. All this is greatly
in the interest of the public, which has
hitherto recognized these facts and has
favored us with liberal patronage. We
are striving to retain and to increase this
by the merit of our work, not by tricks in
rates and rebates which mean certain ruin,
and we rely upon our friends of the past,
and the public in all its branches for its
continued support.

WIN. X. EsLINe, city editor of The
OLYMPIA TRIBUNE, has severed his connec-
tion with this newspaper, and will here
after devote his time to general correspond
ence and work of that character. Mr.. Es
ling is a young man of sterling worth, and
has been the city editor of THE TRIBUNE
ever since its foundation, May 1st, 1890. A
graduate of Girard college, Philadelphia,
and for some years holding position on
that well known newspaper, the Philadel-
phia Record, he has steadily advanced in
his chosen profession until his services on
any newspaper are highly valuable on &C
count of his industry, integrity and "nose
for news" 1t is with regret that the man
agement parts with Mr.. Esling, but it does

BECAUSE The TRIBUNE stated fact, that
there were fewer failures during the Harri-

does everybody else but "a stolid igno-
ramus'

From the Wichita Opinion.
We would much rather write or
speak of things than men, for to speak
truthfully of our friends is as difficult
as Of our enemies. But as the subject
of this sketch is citizen of Wichita,
and now to some extent, at least, pub
lie property, we speak Of him as we can
and should. The mere fact that Mr..
Lewelling is not known as a public
man as a holder and seeker of office
warrants us the more to speak of him,
He is engaged in the commission bus
ineSS in our city, is a business man,
does not hire his business done, but
does it himself, and he is a worker
He is man of the finest physique, al
ways looking the picture of health
and cheefulneSs, have never seen him
the least disturbed about anything.
Mentally he is approaching ripeness,
and ifprOperly planted will grow and
flourish in any soil or climate; he is
not grown, he is not graduated, he is
not finished in anything, but his Ca
pacity for growth is illimitable. He
is not fOSsilized or callOused in his
views, is ever ready to hear, patiently
investigate and learn, has not gone
before in judgment to anything,
jumps at no conclusions, but is me-
thOdical and painstakihg in thought
and uneQuivOcal in action. He is the
man for the times and the cause of
the people, and as we 60 forward in
this great reformation, he, like the
faithful servant, will be found true
and sufficient for the occasion. He is
not Geo. Washington. Abraham Lin
coin nor Thomas Jefferson, but is
plain l.. d. Lewclling, the citizen
with capacity to labor, to learn and
to lead and the next governor of Kan
SaS in embryo.

These foes, who, once with daunt-
less courage stood before the deadly
cannOn's mouth and fought each
other fearleSsly, with fires Of bitter
hatred burning and heartless enmity,
are now bowed down beneath a COM
mon grief before the bier of their
mutual chietain.
Others have done much TO wipe out
the bitter hatred between the victor
iOus north and the OverpOwered south
and in his life our now departed pres
ident did noble part, but in his
death it is that he accomplished
most, because in life all sections
loved him so and now with COM
mon sorrow we bow as mourners of
one family and realize, as ne'er before,
that we are brothers.
Yes, true it is that the last great
change has come and laid our chief
tain low, but like the old independ-
ence bell that first called forth the
glad refrain Of freedom for our nation,
though broken now and silent too,
yet the spirit it awakened still lives,
forever young. And so with Polk;
though laid to rest, yet in our hearts
he lives, and living there foreyermore,
he will lead us on to victory and the
principles he taught us all to love so
well shall triumph over plutocratic
rule and rich and poor and high and
low shall drink alike at freedoms
spring and ever bless the man who
taught us how to love and not to hate.

ism never more be heard in all the
land? All yes! Col. Polk is dead.
He has gone into that long dreamless
sleep from which no one has ever yet
awakened to tell the world how full Of
rest it is. From the lowly cabin in
the sunny southland, where dwells be-
meath the murmuring pines or signing
hemlocks, the crippled veteran who
wore the gray and fought beneath the
stars and bars for what he thought
was right; and just there comes a
mournful sigh and falls an honest
tear, while far away toward the ives.

mountain side; where dwells the
MANNED Yankee boy, who wore the
blue and fought beneath the star:

union Of the states, head is bowed
in grief as corpse Of his own flesh
and blood lay in his lowly home.

CELEBRATE THE FOURTH.

To the Friends of Economic Reform
throughout the United States:
We have reached crisis in the pO-
litical history of our country. The
cOnfederated industrial organizations
have agreed upon a platform and have
called convention to meet at Omaha
July 4th next, for the purpose of plac-
ing in nomination candidates for the
Office Of president and vice-president
of the United States. The forces
which we antagonize are unscrupu-
lOus and backed up by unlimited cap
ital, while on the other hand those
who look to the Omaha convention as
the hope of the republic and the
promise of reform, though great in
numbers are nevertheless poor in
purse. We have no rich corporations
or syndicates upon which to draw for
our campaign funds. Wemust depend
upon the small contributions from
those who love justice and equal laws
as the source of revenue to meet cur
rent campaign expenses. While it is
believed that all are willing to contrib
ute literally, yet it seems difficult to
reach the public so as to secure timely
and uniform action.
The national committee of the Peo
pies party requests that all who are
in sympathy with the action Of the
st. Louis conference and the ends to
be attained by the national cOnyen-
tiOn which meets at Omaha on the
4th day Of July next, shall assemble
in their respective counties and local
tiles on the said 4th day of July, pla
themselves in telegraphic cOmmunica-
tiOn with Omaha if possible and that
then and there takeup collection for
the purpose of raising funds to enable
the national committee TO carry on
the campaign. We further request
that the fund be forwarded on July
5th to NJ. c. Rankin, treasurer of the
national committee, Terre Haute,
Indiana. We trust that the friends
will respond promptly and heartily To
this call. II. E. TAUBENECk,

miliar to every old settler of Sumner
county, and perhaps no man ever lived
in this county who was more widely
known than he: but the dignified form,
the pleasant features, the slow and tot
tering tread of this man will be seen
on the streets of Wellington no more.
That slow and easy, though powerful,
voice will never stir the patriotic soul
of an old soldier again. "Bill" Nc
Donald, as he was generally known
throughout Southern Kansas, has join
ed the silent host.
On Saturday morning, June Is, at
7:3O o'clock, he died at his home in
this city. For several months he has
been in very feeble health, but his
death was sudden and quite a shock
to his many friends here and else
where. He arose early and after par
italy dressing himself, laid down on
the bed again and commenced to read
a magazine article. His wife
stepped out to neighbOrs close by
and after remaining there a short
time returned home to find him dead,
the magazine lying on his breast, his
glasses resting on his forehead. He
died of heart failure, and was 45 years,
6 months and eighteen days old.
The late cyclone entirely destroyed
Mr.. McDOnald's law Office, and besides
a valuable library in the office that
was destroyed, he had some treasured
war relics he seemed to value almost
as dearly as his own life and as they
were never found he seemed to worry
a great deal over their loss before he
died, which is thought to have has
tened the fatal attack Of heart trOu-
