It will be observed that General Thos. III,
Cavanaugh is the committeeman from
Olympia. Nobody doubts his loyalty to
Olympia except those who are mischief
makers. He may not be able to induce the
state central committee to settle upon
Olympia as the place to hold the next state
convention, inasmuch as there is a tacit
understanding that it is to go to Spokane;
but that he will do his utmost to bring it
here, goes without saying. The first CON
vention to nominate state officers in 1889
was to have been held in Spokane, but the
fire swept everything away and the conYen-
tion was forced to go to Walla Walla. It
should never have gone any place but to
the state capital. This is the rule gener-
ally followed in the East, and it is a good
rule. Believing that all political conven-
tions of all parties should be held here,
THE TRIBUNE first demanded that an eff
fort should be made in that direction. Just
what this matter has to do with Thurston
county getting a representative elected by
the Seattle convention to go to the national
convention at Minneapolis, THE TRIBUNE
has not been able to discern.

THE Iowa State Register of the 9th inst.

The Iowa State Register of the eth inst.
says:
Spring seems to have come to stay for
the regular season. The frost is all out of
he ground, the young grass is an inch
high on Des MONIES lawns that has a
southern slope, and the farmers of the
state have begun sowing wheat on new
sod ground.
Next day blizzard struck the state that
created worse havoc than the recent re-
election Of Boies. The balmiest and the
most even climate in the world is that of
Puget Sound and Olympia is the most de-
sirable place to live in in the Pacific Coast
states.

ONE of the gentlemen interviewed by the
Olympian reporter who expressed himself
in favor of making any sacrifice to secure
the convention in Olympia, admitted
"that Spokane had an equitable and just
claim to this convention at this time" He
also said that if Spokane was beaten out
of the convention by Olympia that the
Spokane delegation in the legislature and
their friends would resent the selhshness
of Olympia, when she came to the legisla-
ture asking for an appropriation for a state
capitol" Thisis a very important matter
and is worthy of consideration at the pres
ent time. TIE TRIBUNE is still of the
opinion, however, that the Olympia delega-
ton to Seattle in and out of the convention
shall make an effort for both delegate to
Minneapolis and the convention.

'sWHAF is free coinage of silver ?" is fire.
quently asked. Leech, the we'll known
director of the mint, defines it admirably.
He says: "It is the right of any one to de-
post silver at any mint of the u. S. and
have every 3711l grains Of pure silver (now
worth about 70 cents }, stamped free of
charge, into dollar, which shall be full
legal tender at its face value in the pay
ment of debts and Obligations of all kinds
in the U. s. Under free coinage proper,'
Mr.. Leech says, ''the conversion of silver
into dollars would be limited to the capae-
ity of our mints, say from three to four
million pieces month. In order, howev-
er, to hasten the benefits of free coinage.
all the measures advocated by the silver
men provide for the instantaneous CONVEX
sion of silver bullion into legal dollars by
purchase by the government at our coming
rate. Free silver coinage as proposed
therefore, means this: that the U. S. shall
pay $1.2929 in ounce (now worth so cents)
for all silver which may be brought to our
mints, in legal tender money, intereonyert-
ible under existing law with gold at par.

episode in the life of young married cou-

The parties have been living on the third
floor of the Rutner- Goldstein block on
street for about year.
At about half-past last night they quar-
relied. and their row was brought 10 sud-
den termination by the husband, Alfred h.
Hunt, drawing a revolver and diseharging
1t at his wife's forehead as she was sitting
on the lounge.
Fortunately for her his nerves were I'M
steady, and the bullet intended for her
brain struck high and plowed a fnrrow in
her scalp just above the place where the
hair met the forehead. Then without a
moments hesitation the Infatuated man
pointed the pistol to his own forehead aud
fired, inf1icting wound which may prove
fatal.
The wife was stunned by the shot, and
the husband fell TO the floor after making a
target of himself. The report of the shots
brought number OF people to the scene
and the pistol was secured and doctor
sent for.
A determined attempt was made to hush
the affair up, and no reporters were per-

cause, and that they have quarreled before
this.
