GOES TO OLYMPIA.
The Celebrated New York Optician
Leaves Tacoma.

Leaves TACOMA
The well-known scientific optlcian, Pro-
lessor F. d. Seward. who was so success
full in this city for three months, has
closed his office in Tacoma where he has
been during the past ten weeks. The work
in adjusting his superior glasses to weak
and defective eyesight has been entirely
satisfactory in both Seattle and Tacoma,
and no doubt the people of Olympia will
be glad to take advantage of this oppor-
tunity to consult one of the most success
full and wellknown opticians in America.
Professor Seward will stop at the
Olympian hotel and his stay will be
limited on account of other stops to be
made while en- route to New York.
Many of the delegates to the state con-
vention intend to consult the professor
while in Olympia, as this will be a good
opportunity especially for those who go
from cities where the professor has not
visited and cannot visit.
Among the prominent citizens of
Tacoma who have glasses adjusted by Pro-
fessor Seward are Allen C. Mason, Judge
Galusha Parsons. W. b. Blackwell, presi-
dent Tacoma National bank; Colonel J.
w. Pinkerton, Judge Henry Ford and
hundreds of others equally well-known.

THE wMIRl.lGIa CONES ROUND.

The returns from Precinct "a, at the
election of 1889. we're thrown out by the
republican canvasslng board Of Silver
Bow county on atlidavlts impeaching
the integrity of the vote. Jack and
Hall, two of the canvassers, in their an
swer to the alternative writ of mandate,
granted by Judge DeWolfe, stated as
their ground for rejecting the returns
that they had received the affidavits of
seven electors from which it appeared
that they each had voted for all the re-
publican candidates on the official bal
lot which they each cast at said precinct.
That what purported to be the return
of said votes at said precinct returned
only three votes cast for the republican
candidates for state officers"
Upon these affidavits the canvassing
board threw out the entire vote of Pre-
cinct "a, defeating by that act the cleo
ton of five democratic members of the
legislature.
Now what was the situation at the
election this year in Choteau county?
The republican canvasslng board met
and, when they came to take up the re-
turns from Box Elder precinct, objec-
tions were made to the count precisely
as they were made three years ago il
Silver Bow county to the count of the
vote from Precinct 81. Affidavits SINH
to those from Precinct 81 in 1889, charg-
ing fraud, came from Box Elder precinct
in 1892. In each case the affidavits
were offered; in each case the canvas
sing board said, 1.-THE entire vote of the
precinct must be thrown out"
Now this elimination business is
purely a republican game. The demo-
Gratis protested against it in vain in
1889 all the way through. The decisions
republican judges, of republican re-
turning boards, of the United States
senate, were against them.
The same trouble arises again this
year. The beneficiary of elimination
this time happens to be a democrat.
But the canvassers are republicans and
their vote was unanimous. They are
sustained by presidents established by
their own judges; and our advice to all
republicans is to take their medicine
and say nothing.
History has simply repeated itself.

THE CONVENTION CLOSED.

Lewis and Clarke sunday School Teachers
Conclude Their Labors.
The second days session of the Lewis and
Clarke county Sunday school convention
was very we'll attended. and all the menu
bers entered heartily into the work of the
day. At the morning session Rev. F. W.
Pool occupied the chair, while Rev. S. E.
Snlder led the devotional exercises. A dis
cussion on the relation of the Sunday
school to the church was opened in an in
teresting manner by Rev. r.. Il. Schafer,
who was followed by Revs. Snider and Ellis.
The relation of the sunday school to the
home, presented by Rev. Il. IL. Taft, Of
Marysville, provoked an interesting dis
c%ussion. j. W. DeCamp followed with IN in
teresting speech Oh the relation of the Sun
day school to the outside world.
In the afternoon the devotional exercises
were led by Mrs. Mile Phillips. The
benevolence of the Sunday school board of
home missions was presented in an able
pa. er prepared BY Miss A. Jipf. Benevo-
lence of the foreign missions was presented
by Miss F. Bliss. Her views, as we'll as thu
presentation OF them, received the hearty
endorsement of a number of speakers.
The evening session was opened by a song
and praise service led by j. w. Eddy. Rev.
f. ID. Kelsey delivered a characteristic ad-
dress, which WAS heard with great pleasure.
Rev. L. V. Moore followed with an address
on the difference between teaching and
preaching.
The following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Rev. Nj. A. De-
huff; first vice president. Mrs. N. Phillips:
second vice president, Mrs. H. L. Taft
third vice president, Rev. MIR. Bramble
fourth vice PRESIDENT, John Kane; secra-
tary, w. Is. Cook, assistant sec eetary, j. W.
Decamp; treasurer, Rev. r. L. Schatfer.
The resolutions adopted urge inc. eased
activity in the chu ches as to religious in.
struction, and that each conference repre-
scented at the convention be requested to
report to some officer of the ASSOCIATION any
needy field which it cannot immediatel,
occupy, that Sunday-schoois make a speciaI
feature of temperance work; .. otest acains,
Sunday base bal games. races, dances anc
other amusements of the kind; and a9ains,
the opening of the Columbian exposition or
Sunday.

Sheridan's Ride.

1t was at Winchester that that
brave soldier showed his ability to
turn defeat into victory, and as
long as time shall last the man
with iron will. and his trusted
steed will be the subject OF story
and song. The man has gone to
his last resting place crowned with
a nations honors. The horse that
bore him on with such speed, that
the day was saved to the Union, is
no more. But we will stop to re-
mark right here that we are still
living and have just received a
very large shipment of WINCHES-
TER HAMS, which we know to
be the very finest goods ever
offered on this market. They are
not excelled, and we are glad to
be able to offer them at a remark
ably low cash price.

Mr.. CLEVELAND never said that he
was under no obligations to Tammany
Hall this year, but he might have said
it truthfully. He was nominated in
spite of its protests and votes against
him in convention. He was elected
without the vote y New York. Yet of
all men Mr.. Cleveland can afford to be
magnanimous and forgive his enemies.
He owes nothing but good will to the
American people, for they have honored
him as no American has ever been
honored before.

HE only drawback to the sweets of
the late victory is the un~pleasantness
between DIR. Dana, of the New York
Sun, and Prof. Baker, of the st. Paul
Globe. 1t is apparently 4 case of des-
perate jealousy IN a fight for a cabinet
place under the next administration,
and it is hoped that matters may be SO
adjusted as to secure a distribution of
favors, If Mr.. Dana is secretary of
state, Prof. Baker should be private
secretary to Mr.. Cleveland's private sec
tary, or vice versa.

OUTSIDE of the cabinet circle, with
two or three exceptions, there is not a
federal office in Washington that pays
over five thousand dollars a year. Go

c~lerkships, which pay eighteen hundred
dollars, we find a great majority of the
heads of departments drawing salaries
that average about twenty-five hundred
dollars. When the high cost of living
at the federal capital, the social require

are taken into account, it will be seen

quent rains have fallen during July and

that the moisture drawn to the skies by
