In SOCIETY'S GAY WHIRL
Little TO Happen During the Coming
Fortnight.
MISS BsXTER'S HALLOWEEN PARTY
urs. nc. ID. owens Afternoon at
whist and Miss wards Logoma-
,by Party Please the Ladies who
Participate In Them.

Coming events have not, this week,
cast any shadows before, and next week
looks rather gloomy from social stand
point. 1t is rumored that one or two Of
the young men contemplate giving party
in the near future, but it is not probable
that the plan will materialize before the
middle OF the month. On the 18th inst.
Miss Holton entertains for the Cinderella
club; and with the exception of the thea
ter tomorrow night and the usual party
calls next week, that is about all the
Young people have to look forward to.

A comparatively small audience greeted
the participants in last Saturday eve ming IS
concert at Mason's given by the Ladies'
Aid society OF the Presbyterian church.
However, the entertainers captured the
entertained by the excellence of their
efforts, and everybody was pleased. The
chorus work OF the ladies received the
heartiest Of applause-as, indeed, did
almost all of the other numbers. The
net receipts were small, only = sum in
the neighborhood of $50 being taken in
at the ticket office. 1t is to be hoped
that the Ladies' Aid society will not be
discouraged by this slight recompense,
however, and thst they will favor Yaki-
ma with another concert in the near
future.

Mrs H. X Owens afternoon on Friday
last at whist WAS a largely attended and
enjoyable affair. Mrs. Owens always
adds an unique feature to her card parties,
in that all scoring tablets are dsintily
decorated, she being an artist OF high
order. Her afternoon" had been i'm
patiently anticipated, and everybody was
abundantly pleased and gratified after it
had become realization. Light refresh
ments were served. Mrs. Owens was

The "Logomachy" party, at the home
OF Miss Ward on Saturday afternoon, was
an innovation at least in Yakima. To
explain it, the following rules of the game
are given
-Four persons play at each table, OPP
posites being partners. The players deal
in turn. In the first deal one card is
given to each player and one is placed
face upwards to the table or pool" un-
til the players and pool have four cards
each. In all succeeding deals in the
round the cards are dealt only to players.
Both deal and play 20 to the left. The
object of the game IS to capture as many
cards as possible, and especially the prize
cards. For example, il A and NJ lies
upon the table and one holds N in his
hand, he plays the N, spells aloud MAN
and takes up the three cards; il no wore
can be made, he discards and the player
on the left tries it. Cards may be built
as in casino, and players other than th,
builder may capture the trick as in thai
game However, in this game a player
could build for the word CAT, and an op
ponent supply an r and take the foul
cards on CART. Any odd cards left
after the deal are placed in the pool, and
belong to the player taking the last trick
after the deals are exhausted. The rules
of casino largely apply. In counting,
the largest number entities the holder tc

Viva-Yoce Voting.

There Is one thing about the viva-voce
system OF voting (such as we are TO have
here tomorrow to elect delegates to the
Democratic Congressional Convention)
which newspaper-men particularly appre-
riate. This is that it will not take long
10 make the count. The state OF the
polls may be taken at any hour. Inc
afternoon papers will no doubt report IL
In their editions. and within an hour ar
Ter the polls are closed the result In the
whole city may be known.
Ordinarily 1t is hard work to get in the
returns Of Richmond primary. Our
voting precincts are large and the force
Of counters is often inadequate. To be
rure some Improvement was made at the
last municipal primary. but our arrange
ments for quick counting (when voting Is
By BALLOT are still faulty.
III the Judges and clerks of election and
newspaper reporters could have the fixing
Of II they would say let us have viva-voce
goting all the time. However we find
that for some elections our voters prefer
sne system of voting and for other cleo
lions another system.
The greatest objection to viva-voce
voting in primary is that numbers of
yoters do not wish to make open declara-
lion as between two or three candidates,
all Of whom are personal friends OF
theirs. For this reason II Is never posi-
bic 10 poll as large vote at a viva-voce
urinary as at secret-ballot primary.
But IL fortunately happens at this pri-
mary that people generally are quite
agreed that the viva-vOce system Is the
best for us especially as the primary can
not b. held under the provisions Of the
Richmond primaY-election law passed by
the General Assembly at its last session.
There may be some difference of opinion
as to whether the best plan of apportlon-
ing delegates IL on the basis of wards
Or on the basis of precincts. or on "a
scaled vote" but aside from that, for this
occasion, the viva-voce system meets the
approval of the great majority OF our
people.
Altogether, we expect that our party
will have successful and satisfactory
primary, and that 1T will point our way
to such n victory as the Third District
has nearly always distinguished itself for

Senate Bill Better Than No Bill.

The chief thing that the Virginia people
object TO In the Senate tariff bill IL the
sugar schedule. That Is not at all 10 their
liking They had hoped TO have "a free
breakfast-table." but instead OF this the
bill taxes sugar not merely to produce
revenue for the government, but TO pro-
luce revenue for the trust.
This is the bad feature Of the bill. Still
We must have some sort OF legislation.
II will never do TO go into the November
elections without action on the tariff. SO
n the Senate bill cannot be bettered our
people will Justify their senators and rep
reFentatives in voting for IL as IL stands
II will be accepted as the proverbial half
loaf and hereafter It may be possible for
Congress to get the better Of the trust
and amend the law.
No action will be disastrous to our po-
litical prospects; but not more than 1t will
be to our business prospects Nor Will
tariff reform be In any wise a gainer
by non-action at this session. The people
would then shrink from the consequences
Of a new agitation and would pray not to
be disturbed In their business again, and
the Republicans would promise them
peace.
SO every interest cries aloud for action

Z Bankruptcy stares Us in the Face"

These words are none too strong to be
used in describing that feeling OF trep!da-
ton which now pervades every thinking
mans mind in view Of the fact that 1t Is
doubtful whether Congress Will pass any
tariff bill or not before Its adjournment.
which may be expected to take place at
a very early day. tariff or no tariff. Hear
the Washington Post on this point:
while the tariff reformers Of the House
are striking attitudes and calling upon
the country 10 take particular notice OK
their indomitable herosm and courage.
the Federal Treasury is slowly but surely
drifting toward the gulf Of bankruptcy"
Those are poor specimens OF tariff re-
formers who would 10 conduct them
selves as to cause the Treasury to drift
towards the gulf OF bankruptcy" Mr.
Carlisle and President Cleveland had a
long conference on Monday; but II can
not be possible that they see national
bankruptcy just ahead of them, or they
would do something. They are more
deeply concerned than any other two
men. and cannot but be aware Of the
fact.
The New York Herald deprecates
scare" or what we should call panic.
That paper also sees danger ahead, and
issues the following warning;
ITO put It mildly. the present situation
eXcites serious uneasiness at nome, anu
has produced positive alarm abroad. The
Treasury holds to-day only thirteen cents
In gold for every dollar of outstanding
Treasury notes and greenbacks which
are distinctly gold obligations, and II We
count In the silver certificates, which the
government Is pledged to keep at parity
with other dollars the gold reserve is
less than eight cents to the dollar. Inc
danger of a scare developing from TINS
condition OF affairs Is too patent to call
for argument
Only thirteen cents In gold with which
60 redeem dollar in paper or silver!
For some reason that fact reminds us
OF the days of the wildcat banks. when,
although the banks were permitted to
issue only three dollars of notes for every
dollar OF specie. those same banks often
suspended specie payments" because
their redemption fund was too small.
The Post lays the sin of failure TO act
on the tariff bill upon the tariff reformers;
but we are inclined to think the state
ment Is not true The people will turn
down" tariff reformers or any other class
OF men who shall be found opposing any
sort OF tariff bill. Any bill Is better than
none

Mr.. Wheeler's Speech.

We recently called attention TO the
Speech OF MIR. Wheeler. OF Alabama. In
ole national House of Representatives
IN the 18th Of July. In which he at con-
siderable length set forth the facts lead

tween the States. Yesterday we favored
our readers with Mr.. Wheeler's speech
In full and we think there are a great
many OF the people OF the present gen.

Il.
A careful perusal OF Mr.. Wheeler's
speech will serve also to convince many
northern men that even in the slave
holding States there were other causes for
the war than the desire 20 perpetuate the
Institution OF slavery. We have more
than once discussed this question, and
10 not intend TO return to its discussion
It the present time. But we viii say

The Georgia Democratic State Conven-
ton will meet tomorrow. Then and
there a bitter feud threatens to spring up
in the Democratic party The SUPER
serviceable Observation-Disclosures intend to
try to force the convention to endorse
Mr.. Cleveand's financial policy. On the
other hand, the over-zealous silverites, or
friends of the free coinage OF the white
metal, desire to declare in favor OF this
measure. The embers may look as II the
fire had gone out, but we fear that when
the State convention meets, it will be
found that both factions are trying to
handle hot Goals. If any platform is To

bama, and declare plainly for freedom

Virginia to Alabama.

tisNnCHuuiS AuNdHtt.D
Governor OFerrali. of Virginia, has
written ringing letter to Chairman
Tompkins, of the Alabama State Demo
cratic Executive Committee. expressing
great regret that his health will not per
nit him TO go'to Alabama and canvass
for Democracy. He warns the people of
that state what the election of Kolb
would mean, by drawing a parallel be-
tween Kolbism In Alabama and Malone
ism in Virginia. Among other things he
saws:
Virginia, some years since. was made
TO drink the bitter cup Of Mahoneism.
Her material interests were paralyzed.
her progress checked her fountains OF
justice polluted, and her sacred affairs of
memory desecrated. Her skies were
darkened, her Industries were stopped.
and capital fled from her borders as from
cline Of infection and plague.
Alabama Is threatened with the same
dire calamity. Koblsm In Alabama Is
what Mahonesm was in Virginia.
Virginia, with her sad experience. warns
her sister State against embracing the
yagaries and fallacies OF Populism under
the cloak OF Jeifersonian Democracy; she
raises her voice In warning against false
prophets. wolves In Sleeps clothing
itinerant time-servers, and predatory
political Cossacks. She has suffered, and
speaks with wisdom gained In the fiery
furnace of afiiction. She has seen the
terrible consequences Of departure from
Democratic faith, a coalition of some mis-
guided good men with Republicanism. I'M
der the leadership of demagogues, and the
Wrestling OF the reins OF government from
Democratic hands. She has felt the hot
iron OF such combination In her very
soul. and she speaks with the earnestness
OF genuine love for her sister State. to
whom she is linked by glorious memories
and united by the steely bands OF mutual
interest"
Our friends in Alabama should take
warning and should dispose Of the Hoar-
Kolb combination by burying II beneath
an avalanche of ballots at the polls on
August 9Th.
