farmer ot this county, who was at hi

superiority OF his exhibit, had won.
This fraud would probably not have
been discovered until too late for cor
rcctiJn, had it not been for Mrs. 4. VI.
Edwards, one of the Judges OF Awards,
in the Agricultural Bureau. With
a woman's innate curiosity to know
the reason why, and pertinacity in
righting wrong, the matter was cor
rectcd at the eleventh hour, and Mr..
Bush and Thuiston county will receive
the reward of their labors and dis
bursements. while the State will not
suffer, though the do-nothing commits
sion may feel Inundated by the result.
Mrs. Edwards, when she saw the
change in the entry on the official list
of awards, Immediately informed Mr.
Mr.. Bush, who could scarcely believe
that such ali advantage had been taken
OF him by the States agents. He was,
OF course, indignant, but it is very
doubtful whether he would have sue.
ceeded in having the awards properly
entered had it not been for the valiant
champion for right, Mrs. Edwards.
DIR. Calhoun admitted he had made
the change, giving as a reason that
the State had Jared poorly in awards,
and he wanted the result of Thurston
county's labors to pad out a showing
for the people at large.
The demand was made in presence
OF Gov. McGraw and quite number
OF the States representatives, and the
Doctor, after brief struggle, released
his hold upon the appropriated honors
and gave orders for the change to be
made in the official entry.
Mr.. Bush had donated his exhibit
OF grains to the State Agricultural
College, at Lincoln, Nebraska, of
which State Mrs. Edwards is a resi-
dent, and this probably accounts for
her zeal in Fighting a wrong, which
very naturally clashed with her innate
sense of justice.

A Move for Retrenchment.

The following petition for a retrench-
ment in municipal expenses by reduc-
ton of the number of officers and the
compensation paid, was signed by al
most everybody to whom it was pre-
sented. 1t is the demand of the hour,
and it is necessary that the ordinance
be passed making the proposed change
in salaries before the new officers are.
elected.
Unfortunately the City Council did
not hold session last evening for
want of quorum, and the next regu-
lar night of meeting falls ON Thanks
giving day, but doubtless a short ses-
sion will be held to pass this much
needed measure for relief. The matter
can be discussed and conclusion ar
rived at during the week, so that the
meeting may not be necessarily pro-
longed:
To the Honorable the City Council OF
the City of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. The
undersigned citizens and taxpayers of
the city of Olympia respectively repre-
sent that owing to extraordinary and
long continued stringency in money
affairs and the financial condition of the
city, reduction of expenses TO the low
est possible limit consistent with good
municipal government is an imperative
necessity; and to that end we respect
fully request a readjustment and reduc-
ton of the salaries OF all elective officers.
We understand that in order that such
reduction may affect the salaries of
officers to be elected at the coming elec-
ton, such ordinance must be introduced

No Chance for Argument.

While there may be some doubt OF
the truth of the old adage "A man
is known by the tie of his cravat,"
there is none fortunately, with regard
to the points of true gentleman.
He must be modest. unassuming, for.
bearing, gentle in conduct, refined in
manners, careful not to disparage the
efforts of others who may claim equal
sincerity of himself, careful of thought,
word and deed, when his views may
conflict with those of his fellow man.
Much more is expected of a minister
OF the gospel than all this. He should
possess some of the characteristics,
at least of the Great Master, chief
among which is humility. He
should be slow to condemn and sure
Of the points OF condemnation. To
classify the press as" utterly ignorant"
and editorial comment as "sickly
rot" and to assert that their authors
have the "belly ache" when they
write them, would be exceedingly
vulgar coming from a layman, but
from one wearing the vestments of
the altar, it is simply disgraceful.
This is not the opinion solely of the
writer OF these lines but that of many
church members who deplore the
want Of judgment which has led the
pulpit critic to the pit. To discuss
the question with such an expert at
cxpletives and invective would be
Improbable, but the STANDARD is
ready to argue with anybody who
wishes to defend the ministerial &C.
ton on the hop industry, who can
give and take in fair and friendly
manner.

- FOR a mass meeting that had no
more ut an cAcitant than discussion
Of a. complex 4 question a the utility
ui foreign capital. The members OF
the club, under whose auspices the
meeting was called, with the intima-
tipn that til" question of an active
municipal canvass would probably be
discussed, We're out in force, and the
r. 1t shows were almost unanimously
il. favor OF aggressive warfare.
Robert Rawson presided. The min
utrs OF previous session were read, and
the meeting declared to be "open" for
business. The first thing to be done,
it seems, was to regulate the party
pulse. The Populist does not (lnlike
the other partisans) have fixed princi-
piles. He believes III progress-eternal
progress. The warts OF the day, or
the hour; the feelings and prompiings
oil the moment, constitute, for the
time being, the party's creed. 1t may
be G;iite different from what it was
last year, last month or yesterday, but
equally binding" on the members,
whether the doctrines enunciated be
of back number series, or gushing
simon-pure from the mouths of the
Olympian oracles.
The pulse-regulator came in the
shape OF resolutions, demanding that
the salaries OF the City Attorney, Mar
shall, Clerk and Street Commissioner
be cut down to $75 per month; po-
licemen to $50 per month, and the
number pruned down to three, and
that two men be enough to take care
of the Fire Department interests. at
$50 each per month. The resolutions
were adopted with enthusiasm, except
that fixing the salary Of City Attorney,
which was amended to allow that Off
Ger 500 per month, but he must pay
for all assistance he may need from
his own pocket. Another resolution
providing for the reference OF all inn
portant ordinances to the people be-
fore they are passed upon by the
Council, and still another that no
more street improvements be ordered
where any doubt exists of the city's
power to collect the cost after the
work is done from the assessment dis
trict, were adopted.
A discussion then ensued of the
topic OF the evening, but it was quite
apparent that other objects were of
of far more interest. Some OF the
spectators took a brief visit to the
istuu vi ANOu, WHllc Oulcl6 T OTTtSt d1u

fects Ct foreign capital upon our home
A sigh of relief welled
up as the closing words were uttered.
Chief Price then moved that the
Populists place ticket in the field for
officers, which carried with
out dissenting vote. The party al
ways stands with Of en.mouth when
offices are to be distributed.
A committee of two from each ward
was appointed to call the city conven-
ton and the ward primaries, but it
seems they must have delegated that
to others, for the call ap-

The attacks of the Olympian- Tribune
on the Northern Pacific Railroad puts
US in mind of similar conflict that ia
reported to have occurred between q
mouse and a giraffe. The smaller
quadruped was the aggressor, and was
nibbling with all its puny powers at
the hoof of the grazing giraffe, whose
eye finally caught sight OF the little
foe. "What are you doing?" he in
quired, without suspending bis crop
ping OF the grass. I'm fighting"
replied the mouse. Fighting, indeed
