What is this report that comes from
Chicago-Mrs. Houghton is Withdrawing
the Woman's exhibit from the Washing
ton building? This is revolution. The
valiant, the loud voiced, the high! spirited
Alice Houghton has grown tired of being
harassed and worried and has decided to
take her dolls and go home. If her COM
panion lady managers wish an exhibit to
control let them hunt for one, they shall
not handle her collection. Didn't she 90
into the wild wastes OF Whitman and
gather hand painted china? Didn't she
seek out pottery at Peshastin and crazy
quilts at Quinaelt? Didn't she endure
the fortunes of Il three weeks residence
at Olympia during the legislative session
that her exhibit might be given due con-
sideratono Then why should she, the
energetic and the untiring, undergo the
ignomny OF seeing the fruit OF her labor
and Napoleonic skill turned over to un.
worthy hands? Who is there who will not
pat the lloughton on the back and say,
| we'll done, thou good and faithful woman !;
enter thou into the joys of Spokane /?
With her exhibit under her ann Mrs. Alice
Iloughton will cross the borders of this
state amid the welcoming huzzas of an
appreciative people.
Wahkiakum and Snohomisl, Okanogan
and Asotin, Clallam, Columbia and Kit
sap will raise their voices and cry {:
What's the matter with Houghton? And
from the l'alouse to the Puyallup the
shout will be echoed back: She's all
right, you bet
But before we toss our hats into the
air and crack our voices with shouting,
let us pause to inquire if Mrs. Alice
Ioughton, lady manager extraordinary,
will return wearing her "ront? 2" Let it
be understood that our motto is No
front; no yell. The people of Washing
ton eagerly await the coming of The
Lady Manager, that they may do honor
to hero, they look eagerly for her and
for her exhibit, and in the line of ex-
hibits what could be as interesting as a
peep at $3.50 "iront?" Experts here
said that front is sort of Il shirt: if
so, let Mrs, Alice Houshton paint on that
front the motto; ''To the yiutors belong
! the spoils." Then will she be insured n
welcome only second to that which Joan
of Arc received on entering Rheims. But
let her remember
No front no yell.

The secretary of the Westport chamber
OF commerce has sent letter to secretary
Mack Of this city, and also to the other
secretaries of the county, asking cooper
alton in securing creditable exhibit at
the Mid-Winter Fair. This is a move in
the right direction. 1t is doubtful if the
county commissioners can render any aid
as there are no available funds, and it is a
question whether they could appropriate
it for such purposes ii there was. But
these bodies can by united efforts create
a fund sufficient to give the county 4
creditable representation. Let action be
taken at once. Aberdeen is centrally To-
Gated, and we suggest that representatives
of the various bodies meet here at an
early date and devise plan.

Governor Mckinley is going up and
down through Ohio pounding the British
lion with redoubled vigor. Our silver
friends are engaged in the same highly
delectable business. The burden OF the
song Of the protectionsts and the silver
ties is that the jaws OF the aforesaid lion
are about to close upon this defensless
country. 1t is true that the protectionist
denies that the lion is going to bite in the
way the silver man anticipates. and the
silver man is equally certain that the bite
will not be according to the protectonist
foreboding. Like the famous Kilkenny
cats, they are prepared TO devour each
other in this issue. but they are in unison
in protesting TO believe that the devour-
ing process by the lion is imminent
For nation Of 65 100000 people and
the richest territory in the world We make
a sorry exhibition OF ourselves in raising
this perpetual British bugbear. We sup
pose the country is in for dose OF it..
Soon the time will come when that two
pound-ten which the Golden club keeps
in its treasury will be magnifed into Il
million or two for the purpose of buying
up Ohio voters. AS Sir John Lubbaci
said the other dav, England adopts the
policy which suits her best. Why cannot
the United States adopt such trade and
financial policies as best suit American
interests ? Why this persistent and
senseless attempt to stampede the people
by British bugabooo

THE REPEAL BILL A LAW.

The news came over the wires last even
ing that the house Of representatives had
passed the Voorhees, bill, and we think it
safe to say the president has signed it,
and that it is now the law Of the land.
We may now look for letting loose OF
capital, and gradual improvement in
trade, one OF the first demands will be for
lumber to replenish stocks, and that will
soon effect our mills and loggers.

PLEASED WITH THE TRIAL.
Satisfactory Test Of the Guns OF the DynI
mite Cruiser Vesuvius.

mite Cruiser Vesuvius.
The official trials Of the pneumatic guns OF
the dynamite cruiser vesuvius began at Port
Royal, S. c., at IL O'Clock yesterday morning.
The board OF officers appointed TO conduct the
trial. Capt. NJ. Sicard, Capt. A. S. Baker and
Lieut.. A. P. Nazro, arrived on the ship at
a. m. to station observers to watch the fall
Of the projectiles and to watch the loading Of
the guns. and gave orders for the firing Of the
first shot at HIS o'clock. In all twelve shots
were fred, SIX al range of 1000 yards and six al
], 500 yards, the three guns being fred in sue
cession.
With the exception of the first two shots fired
from the starboard gun no shot fell more than
twenty wards distant from the required range,
and every shot fired would have struck a man
of-war at the distance designated by the board.
No target was used. but the board specified the
distance required and the observing officers
with theodolites recorded the results. There
WAS no difficulty in the working of the air guns
nor of the supply of air to the reservoirs nor In
the controlling of the she'll by the wind vanes.
The first two shots fred from the starboard
gun fell about 100 feet short of the required dis
lance. This was probably due to a slight error
in the assumed form of the range curve. an
error arising from the limited number of the
projectiles available for preliminary work.
AS soon as the error was detected in the
range the curve OF the starboard gun was
slightly altered and the remaining shots gave
the same good results as those from the other
guns. Twelve more shots will be fired today
under similar conditions, and then the trials
with the ship liz motion will begin. Lieut.
Shredder said he was highly pleased with the
days work.
The board declined TO give official figures ard
preferred not to express an official opinion at
this time The friends of the Nesuvius are.
however. jubilant over the result, and claim
that the day has demonstrated facts which will
reyolutionize naval warfare.

How to Make Yourself Happv.

From the Ladies' Home Journal
Men and women are too closely allied in their
interests to make any discussion of their rela-
tive claims 10 superiority or inferiority useful
or profitable. II q man believes he is superior
to woman let him make himself happy in the
belief, but let the only outer sign be striving
for a superiority of love for the woman closest
to him. Men are superior to women in some
things, just as women are by far the superior of
men In other things. The capabilities wisest
for each have been evenly divided each given
those most essential for what it is necessary for
them to accomplish. We may sometimes think
We could improve upon the creation but We
are wisest.. L think, when We accept what has
been created for rs. The happiest people in the
world are those who accept things as they find
them; the unhappiest, those who always have an
itching desire to change things. Make YOUR
self happy by seeing the best IN the people with
whom you are thrown, and let Others pick the
flaws II a wife finds certain little qualities in
husband which she might wish he did not
posses, let her remember that he may. from
his side, see certain qualities her Just us dis
tasteful to him. None of us are perfect Women
may be more gentle than men. but masculine
force is sometimes needed where womans softer
words have failed. Men may not be as thought-
fui of little things women would like them to
be- but men. on the other hand. think women
quite as unappreciative of the importance and
significance OF the big things. And thus it is
easy all TOO easy, to find faults if we choose to
look for than, and the more We look tbs more
we find.

The Court in General Term is engaged in
revising the list Of examiners in chancery of the
Supreme Court Of the District The appoint
meut of lawyers to this position has been made
by the court whenever an application for an APP
pointment has been made, it is said, and in this
way, while there have been some designations
and considerable number of deaths, l01 COM
missioners now remain on the rolls. Many of
these are inactive and transact no business, and
the court is anxious to drop the names of these
examiners from the rolls. To provide an active
body notice has been given calling on all pres
ent examiners who do not desire to continue to
forward their resignstions. The court will then
add some new names and make the entire body
of examiners in chancery an active one. The

the President, and there are now over $50 OF
them, and every week or two the number ID
