sOME OF THOSE BREAKRRs.


There was quite a delegation of
boomers at the St. Louis
Stanford literature was
ss free as the muddy water Of the
Mississippi, and the delegates seemed
to relish the one about as well as the
other. There were Kansas men
among the boomers, we are sorry to
say, but the little notoriety they
gained was not Of an enviable charac-
ter. II is everywhere belived that
Leland Stanford is paying for this
boom, and his tools are not likely to
gain very great popularity in Kansas.
The motive is too apparent. We
cautioned the people some time ago
to look out for breakers, and that
caution caused great commotion in
certain quarters, There was much
running to and fro, and hither and
thither, and men got their heads very
close together in confidential confer
enoe as to the wisdom and propriety
Of publishing an article Of that kind.
1t was said that il was liable to cast
suspicion upon innocent parties, and,
all things considered, it was decided
that we had done very indiscreet
thing.
We have not heard Of any Of our
farmer friends or any Of our city me-
chsnics or lsboring men making any
complaint, or expressing any fear that
the article referred to was likely to
throw suspicion upon them, and those
over. sensitive individuals who have
such fears, we spprehend, may possi-
bly, be open to suspicion. At all
events we meant every word we said
in that article, and we give fair warn
ing that the end is not yet. There
will be no pins set up in our coming
state convention il it is in our POWER
to prevent il, and we believe it is. We
intend that the people shall control
that convention, and that Doodle and
boodlers shall take a back seat. It is
for this reason that we have offered
our columns for a free discussion of
the merits of the candidates. We
have few responses to our sugges-
tion this week, and we hope to re-
Ceive many more. We hope to see so
many good men named for positions
upon our state ticket that the con-
vention will not be all at sea when it
assemblies, but that it will have only
to make q choice from among many,
any one Of whom would give strength
and credit to our ticket. Let COM
munications be very brief upon this
subject 80 as not to consume unneces-
sary space. More space will be given
to discussion of the merits Of can
didates after they are named.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
Its Character Clearly ludlcated by the Tone Of
kho pposC

Its Character Clearly Indicated by the Tone Of
the Press.
The ST. Louis conference Of Feb.
ruary %, 1892, has passed into his
tory. It's work is far from satisfsc-
tory to the old pSrty politicians. AL
ready the character of the campaign
upon which we are entering is indi-
Gated by the press. 1t is to be q rep.
etition Of that Of 1890 in this state.
The Lawrence Journal says the con-
ference was composed Of two classes
-demsgogues and lunatics. The
demsgogues framed the platform and
the lunatics adopted il. Other Re-
publican papers speak Of the conven-
tion in like terms, and the tone Of the
old party press everywhere suffi
GENTLY indicates that the plan Of
campaign has been agreed upon by
the bosses and accepted by their
hirelings.
There is to be no recognition Of the
intelligence of the people-no at
tempt to convince the reason or sat
isfy the Judgment of men. Ridicule,
slander, personal abuse and false.
hood are the weapons TO be used.
The address preliminary to the ST.
Louis platform contains a terrible in
dictment against the old parties. The
charges therein set forth are either
true or they are false. II true, who
will dare say that those parties are
worthy Of further confidence. II not
true, all that the press Of those par
ties has to do In order to destroy the
new party is to demonstrate that sim
gle fact. No party can be success
fully established on q basis Of false
hood. Let the press Of the old par
ties show to the people that this ad-
dress makes false and unjust charges
and the work is done. They cannot
do this by ridicule or abuse. They
cannot do it by denouncing the great
labor forces assembled at ST. Louis az
demsgogues and lunHtics. These
denunciations are the weapons Of
weak men enlisted in an indefensible
cause. Strong men, conscious Of
their power and standing upon the
eternal principles Of right, appeal to
the reason and the judgment, and not
to the passions or prejudices Of their
fellowmen, and cause that will not
stand before such test is not worthy
Of preservation.

THERE is still hope for the country

ATTENTION, CLERKS OF DISTRICT COURTS.
We would like the name of every
clerk Of the several district courts Of
the state and registers of deeds who
have been elected by the Peoples

enough to accommodate US? And
will reform papers be kind enough to
republish our request for this in

no THE aNAMONAL ECONOMIST"

W duuIobS low WOAuS @AN q AoW A1
quiries TO the National Economist.
In its issue Of February 20, it feels
called upon to make a defense of the
National Union Company, and we
submit that every argumentp presented
would Justify the methods of every
trust md combine upon American soil
and render the past opposition Of the
Alliance to these institutions q ludi-
crous farce. The Economist says that
the National Union Company asks
the endorsement of nobody but those
with whom it proposes to do business,
and a grstuituous condemnation from
those not asked to endorse it smscks
of persecution"
We submit that no other trust on
the American continent asks the en-
dorsement of anybody-not even the
people with whom it proposes to do
business, and yet the Economist has
hitherto been foremost in Condemna-
tion of these monopoliea Was the
Economist engaged in work of per-
secution when denouncing them?
In its issue Of November 7, 1891, is
q five column article devoted to the
interests of the Kelley Axe Company,
of Louisville, Ky, and severely criti-
cising what it denominstes the axe
trust against which the Economist
would have it's readers believe the
Kelley Axe Company was waging
bitter warfare in the interest of the
people. We have already shown the
hypocriticsl pretentions of the Kelley
Axe Company in this respect and we
do not propose to enter into a discus
sion of that subject now. We regard
it as a somewhat peculiar circum-
stance that the Economist should con-
slider itself justified in denouncing the
the axe trust located in New York and
sustaining the axe trust located in
Louisville, Kentucky, and also sus-
tanning the National Union trust
which is the most gigantic trust Of
all.
In the article referred to the Econo-
mist says;
The Farmers Alliance has inaugurated war
on trusts and combinations, and 70 Is therefore
the duty Of all papers on the farmers side IN
that fght to OtDe such Information as mdu be
cad " obtained IN regard 10 the UariOls trusts
that do the most damage. There are many Of
them, and perhaps some Of the worst are those
made upon some article Of small value, which
enables them to some extent to more readily e.
cape notice. The combination Of the axe manu-
facturerS is fair sample Of this class Of trust.
We would inquire ofthe Economist
If the axe trust ever asked its endorse
ment or support? If not, was it en-
gagged in a work Of persecution when
it published the article in the issue of
November 7, 1891? And while an
swering questions upon this subject
perhaps the Economist might be will
ing to explain why, when the article
relating to the axe trade was written,
psrtsking as it did Of the character
Of eulogy upon the Kelley Axe Com
psny, it was sent over to the Ameri-
can Axe Company (whst it denomi-

NEW SCHOOL HOUSE
The Directors are Heartily in Fa-
Yor Of Home Labor.

The Proposed Building and what
the school Board Members Say
of its ConstructfOm2A Meeting
of workIngmen is Called.
Upon the subject of the proposed High
school building more or less apprehension
is felt that the work will be given to non
resident contractor, who will employ non
resident laborers. 1t being question Of
universal interest, particularly to the labor
ing classes, a TRIBUNE reporter inteTogated
each member of the school board upon the
subject
J. G. Rathbun expressed himself as being
in favor Of home labor doing the work.
"If the bonds are voted, y he continued, II
shall favor showing a reasonable partiality
to the material men of the city and the
laboring men who have families here. I
do not know how the matter will be pre-
sented to the board, if at all, but it is to the
interests of Olympia to have a home con-
tractor do the work, who will use home
material and employ home labor.
| S. III. Barbee was likewise emphatieally
| in favor Of home men. He said If the
| DOnQS carry 4 snail 90 all IN my power
consistent with my duties to the public to
have the building erected by home labor.
I think the people would favor paying to a
home contractor a few hundred dollars
more than to foreign contractor. y
| S. G. Woodruff is not impressed with the
necessity for an additional school building
and hopes very much that the bonds won't
carry. Mr.. Woodruff said: ut will incur
a useless expense and increase our indebt-
edness. More than that, we have plenty
of room in the Lincoln building, and the
erection of a high school will be Just an
additional expense of So 900 per year tc
run it. | am greatly in favor of public
Improvements, but l cannot see the econo
my with our present accommodations
| However, if the bonds do carry, | shal
most earnestly insist on the employment
of home labor, so far as consistent"
Il The people can rest assured that if the
bonds are voted home labor and home ma
terial will construct the building.
Tonight at Columbia hall meeting O
the workingmen will be held to conside
the school bonding question. The promot
ers of the meeting are not opposed to tht
project of building new school house, bu
before voting for the bonds they desire t.
ascertain if the contract will be so let as tt

The Ball at the Hotel a Splendid
Success.

About $50 People In Attendance
Excellent Music, and an Enjoy
able Evenfng--DOnatIOns to the
Fund Acknowledged.
The success of the freman's ball at the
Olympia hotel last evening was in excess
of anticipation, and will afford acreditable
nucleus for relief fund for distressed or
disabled tiremen. There were nearly 200
tickets taken at the door, and fully $50
people were on the floor. Governor and
Mrs. Ferry, many of the state, county and
city officials and nearly every member of
the fire department, with their ladies, were
in attendance.
In honor Of the event, Chief Lillis came
over from Tacoma, accompanied BY Cap
tain J.. @. Littlejohn, Captain o. J. "A,
WeineIt and Lieut. William Chisholm.
The chief and Mrs. Waldo Moore led the
grand march, and the music for the occa-
sion was furnished by OIof Bull of Taco
ma, w. G. Johnson, N. c. Davis, E. L.
Van Epps and John Aten.
The rear parlor and main hall of the cor
ridor of the hotel were both utilized foI
dancing purposes, with the music between
the two. The evenings pleasure continued
until late hour, with almost thirty mum.
bers to the program.
Everybody in attendance thoroughly en-
joyed the occasion, and the various com
mittees carried out their duties to the mark
The members of the fire department desire
to thank the public for their generous SUP
port and aid IN making the ball a success
and feel much encouraged in the work

Coming into the splendid State Of Wash

cate in
LYMPIA,
Thurston County.

1t has superior advantages over all other
points on Puget Sound.
1t is the capital of the state and has finer
location than any city in the state.
The immense water Of Des Chutes river
makes it desirable place for manu-
factories.
Olympia is at the head of navigation on
Puget Sound.
It has the Northern Pacific and the Port
Townsend Southern railroad running
through it and the Union Pacific in
course OF construction.
It is connected with all points of the state
and country by rail and steamer
lines.
1t has a fine agricultural, fruit, timber and
mineral country back Of it.
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 sea-
port 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 observant
than the managers Of the great
rail1oad system. The fact that SO
many lines have made Olympia
their objective, shows clearly the
confidence these able men have in
her future growth.
General Sherman in a brief
speech to the citizens here many
years ago said that Olympia was
natural, strategic and commercial
point, and that one Of the greatest
cities on the Sound would one day
grow up here.
Olympia, too, is city of homes,
of schools, Of gardens, and fruit
trees and shade trees, city which
draws visitors, and attracts families
of means and refinement, families
with children to school and bring
up, as a place Of residence.
The capital of such state as
Washington would alone suffice to
build up no mean city. The per-
manent residence of the governor
and state officers, the seat Of the
United States land and surveyor
generals offices, the place Of meet
ing Of the legislature, the supreme
court, and many state boards, must
attract considerable population.
Come to Olympia if you want to
make a permanent residence in a
splendidly growing state and city.

SOMETHING ABOUT SUGAR.
From the Washington Post

From the Washington Post
Considerable complaint is coming from
the south in regard to the alleged tardi-
ness of tie government In paying to the
sugar planters the bounties due by law
on the cane products of last year. It is
even asserted that some OF the disastrous
failures which have affected merchants
and planters in that section are due in q
great measure to this dilatoriness.
1t should, however, be remembered
that the principal intent of the scheme
of legislation which granted bounty on
sugar production did not primarily refer
10 the encoura cement OF sugarcane
planting. The cane sugar production Of
the south had been an established in
dustry long before this law was thought
Of, and southern planters had fully
demonstrated their ability to produce
sugar and dispose of II at an ample
profit. Theirs was no infant industry
and it needed no special protection.
The object of the bounty provision OF
the law was 10 foster the culture and
manufacture of beet sugar IN all the
states and territories which are adapted
TO its production. Its extension TO the
product of the cane-srower of the south
was simply Incidental 10 this purpose.
and was adopted mainly to disarm any
opposition which it might encounter
from competitive interests. OF course,
il is true that, while the law holds its
place on the statute book. cane sugar
growers should be paid the bounty 10
which they are entitled under II without
DAYS unnecessary delay But their
advantageous position IN connection
with the sugar supply of the country Is
50 well assured that a little delay IN the
payment OF what, in each instance. must
ie a comparatively Insignificant bounty
cannot entail any great measure Of hard
ship. Ii is undoubtedly fact that tie
cane-sugar industry of the south would
flourish even If no bounty whatever were
given Ia It's aid

than this question Of sugar bonnties Is

THAT SUGAR RATE,

If the order of the railroad commits
sioners discriminating in favor of the five
wholesale houses at Wichita, Hutchinson,
Arkansas City and Salina, stands in the
courts. and shall be enforced, the jobber
who ships a car load OF sugar from the
Missouri river to Wichita will have Co paw
but Is cents per hundred, while the retail
dealer at an equal distance who wishes to
ship but half cor load of sugar must paw
Al cents per hundred.-K. {. Gazette.
That is it. That is it exactly. That is
the whole of it. Ths exigencies of your
poverty stricken excuses have forced the
truth from you in nutshell. Nobody
wants to ship sugar from the Missouri
river to Wichita; the sugar should be
dropped off, en- route, at Wichita, where
the retailer of south Kansas can then
buy it at Missouri river prices and save
the Al cents hundred haul back which
has been enforced in favor of Kansas
City. That's the very abuse and the
very outrage which the commissioners
propose to wipe out
And so with the retailers in the region
of Salina, Hutchinson and Arkansas
City. They will all buy sugar at these
respective points just as cheaply as the
retailers do along the Missouri river.
The hypocri,icaI howl set up BY the
Missouri river towns in behalf of the
retailers of interior Kansas is the thin
nest kind of sympathetic hog wash.
Every interior retail dealer will under
the commissions order be enabled to set
his supplies from jobbers near at hand
and will no longer be compelled to pay
the 4i-cent rate, and that's what's the
matter with the Missouri river iobber.
and the interior retailer knows it is. In
short under the present rule the retailer
is forced to pay the sum of long haul
and two locals. Under the commissions
ruling he VIII pay for only cne short
local haul in addition 10 the long haul.
