THE STATE FLOWER.

Helen 8. Porter, of Seattle, writes to the Posi-
INTELLIGENcER: AS one interested and having
read from time to time the various opinions OF
others published In the POST IHTELLIGENcER in
regard to the choice OF state flower, would vote
every time for the rhododendron. The beauty,
strength and majesty, as compared with the
clover. and typical of this great state expressed
in this beautiful plant, and its lovely flowers, Is
q far grander choice than the ''lovely, sweet
smelling clover, so pleasantly suggestive OF
grassy meadows, strawberries and cream and
fat sheep and all that -onsense that creates only
visions OF good things to eat. We want q flower
that bids us look up, not down, and is it not the
most proper thing to choose as our symbol rep
resentative from our great forests rather than
one from our meadows, and thereby keep con-
stantly before the eyes and fresh in the minds
OF the people Of this and foreign countries at
our coming exposition the fact of Washington's
magnificent mountain forests and the
almost exhaustless mineral wealth under
lying them? We do not deny that
when worn and tired by the rush Of city
life that "sweet and lovely things like the
clover are very refreshing reminders of "de-
lightful country homes" and for one to be sus-
ceptible to this influence and carried back in
thought and feeling to childhood's days, 10 no
bic; but ii we only cling to these instead OF
higher and grander things, what progress would
we make? Every one knows the clover and has
slipped the honey from its petals. and it all
sounds very sweet and pretty, but every one has
not seen the rhododendron; and l am sure that
nowadays most OF US like to see and learn new
things Rhododendron grdndiford, rather than
rhododendron CaElorndcum, should be the boz
tanical name, and If some think 1t too hard to
pronounce, no better time than the present, as
suggested by one writer, can be had for all to
learn to speak it correctly: and one very good
way to begin would be by writing favorable
opinions OF it to the editor, which l am sure he
will be glad to publish. So hurrah for the rho
dodendronl with its beautiful flowers and ever
green leaves-constant reminders of life and not
OF decay.
Snohomish Eye: If the rhododendron IL
adopted as the state flower before the Fourth Of
July by the citizens of Snohomish, the name of
it can be erected on Second street for . liberty
pole.

Mr. President Representatives Of
Foreign Governments, Ladies and Cen
tlemen: This day is dedicated by the
American people to one whose name is in
dissolublv linked with that of our cor
tinent This day shall add new glories to
him whose prophetic vision beheld in the
stars which Guided his audacious voyage
new world and new hope for the
peoples of the earth
There are gathered here our president
and stately senate. our grave and learned
judges, our congress and our states that
all mankind may know this is nations
holiday and peoples tribute TO hin
whose dauDtless courage and unwavefing
faith impelled him to traverse undismayed
the unsailed waste of waters and whose
first prayer upon waiting continent was
saluted on its course by that banner which
knows 40 creed, no faith, no nation--thnt
ensign which has Represented pence,
progress and humanity for nineteen
hundred years-the holy banner OF the
cross.
Those foreign nations which have con-
tributed so much to our growth will here
learn wherein our strength lies that it is
not In anding armies-not in heredity or
birth--not even in our fertile valleys-not
in our commerce nor our wealth-but that
we have built and are building upon the ever
lasting rock of Individual character and in-
! telligence, seeking to secure an education
for every man, woman and child over
whom floats the stars and stripes, that
emblem which signifies our government
and our people.
That flag guards to-day 81 10000 school

This is our hope in the FUTURE ne
anchor of the Republic-and a rainbow OF
| promise for the centuries yet to come.
AS mark Of public gratitude 1t was
decided to carry down into history through
this celebration the appreciation of this
people for him before whose name we all
bow to-day.
Less than a century ago the site OF this
young city was unknown; to-day million
and half people support her honor, en-
terprise and thrift. Her annual commerce
of one billion and half tells the eloquent
story OF her material greatness. Her iber-
ality to all nations and all creeds is bound
less, broad as humanity and high as the
dome of heaven. Rule Britannia, the Mar.
seillais, die Wacht am Rhein. and every
folk song of the older world las drifted
over the Atlantic's stormy waves, and as
each echo, growing fainter with advancing
leagues, has reached this spot it has been
merged into that one grand chorus, My
Country it's of Thee, Sweet Land OF
Liberty, of Thee Sing"
This, sirs, is the American city Of youi
choice; her gates are open, her people arr
at your service. To you and those yor
represent we offer greeting, hospitality
and love.

NEw YoRK, Oct. 91..--There was UNI

Of stone steps leading to the entrance
In manner hardly to be expected OF

Colonel Swords, the sergeant-at-arms,
and escorted to the private office OK
Mr.. Manley, where he had a talk on

Mr.. Marley afterwards said that Mr..
Blaine's visit was purely for the sake
Of a political conference, but the de-
tails being Of confidential nature he
could not make them public But, F"
he added, you may be sure that Mr..
Blaine is in hearty sympathy with us
and will do what he can to aid the
fight"
"Will Mr.. Blaine make a speech
during the campaign" was asked.
mo, Mr. BlairGs physical condi-
ton would not permit OF it. You
must bear in mind that Mr. Blaine has
been in retirement since the death OF
his son Emmons, and his great afh ic-
tions have rendered him anxious to be
as quiet as his position as a public
man will allow"

-Four hundred years ago to-day, Rodrigo
de Triana, from the Prov Of the "Pinta"
cried, Land" That cry marked the COM
mencement of an era wherein has been
condensed more of good to the race thnn in
any other. To-day, at the flooI-tide Of
that era, we are reminded Of what that cry
involved, and Of how much There is yet 70
do TO give 1t its fullest significance.
The foundations Of civilization have
been lqid. Universal enlightenment, now
Acknowledged rs the safe substructure OF
every state, receives an added impulse
from the commingling OF peoples and the
differentiation Of races, such as are ushered
In by The pageant Of to-day.
Hitherto the work OF tho national com.
mission, and Of the exposition company has
