the latter by eastern delegates. The
eastern delegates are opposed to an
endorsement of an income tax through
a constitutional amendment and argue
that if such plank were adopted,

mendation from all classes of people
The friend of the horse will be con-
tirmed in his admiration of the noble
animal, and the advocates of measures
for prevention OF cruelty to dumb ami
mails will be fortified for their benef-
cent work. Prof. Bristols system
teaches and exemplifies the truth OF
the proposition that kindness is the
primary requisite for control of the
brute species.
While witnessing the almost human
actions of this band of horses, one finds
it difficult to realize that they are in
deed of the brute family and subject at
times to so much abuse from exacting
task-masters. They do everything but
talk, and the auditory feels that il
Prof. Bristol keeps up his admirable
system of training it is not beyond the

possesses.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weather Bureau, at Seattle,
furnishes the STANDARD with the
following crop bulletin for the week
ending July 9Th:
Another excessively warm week has
passed, and an almost unbroken
drought has now prevailed for four
weeks. Seldom, if ever, since records
have been kept, has there been such a
long-continued hot spell in the west
ern section of the State, nor such an
extensive drought during June and the
early part of July. The sunshine has
been almost continuous throughout
the week, and maximum temperatures
ranged from so to 80 degrees in the
western section. In the eastern Sec
ton the temperatures have been much
higher, reaching in several localities
over 100 degrees in the shade in the
hottest part of the day.
The lack of rain has checked the
growth Of vegetables, and the dry soil
has prevented improvement in root
crops as rule not much damage has
been done in the western section of
the State.
In the eastern section, however, in
the wheat.growing localities, the ex-
cessively hot sun and drying winds
have materially injured both spring
and winter wheat, in addition to the
damage already begun the previous
week. Spring wheat has been burned
to the greatest extent, but fall grain
has not escaped. The Big Bend coun-
try having the dryest ground, appears
from reports to have suffered most
seriously, but reports of damage by the
hot sun and winds come along from
Spokane, Whitman, Columbia and
Walla Walla counties, as we'll as the
Yakima section. Grain in the Palouse
country appears to have suffered least,
and the reports from there are not dis
couraging. Showers in the eastern
and southeastern parts OF the State on
the 9th inst, have perhaps improved
the situation, although it is possible
they came too late.
II often seems that there is no evil
without its compensation, and in this
case the compensation for the bad
effects of the drought is the glorious
weather could not have been more per.
feet for curing hay. Glover and
timothy were at the proper stage for
cutting, and the rattle of the mower
was heard in many field. The hay
crop is good one, the rains of the
early part of the season having caused
grass of all kinds to grow luxuriantly
AS one reporter said: "This has been
u good year for grass, if nothing else"
The weather has also been splendid
for the growth OF corn during the past
week, but corn is a product not ex-
tensively raised in this State.
Peas and oats are reported as doing
we'll in the Skagit country. There is
no longer any danger OF floods in that
locality. Grain is heading there.
The strawberry season appears to be
nearly over. The berries are drying
up, the hot sun being unfavorable fol-
them. They have also been injured by
the drought. Raspberries are now be-
ginning to ripen, and the present ap-
pearance of the crop is good.
A correspondent at Houghton re-
ports that the recent weather has been
ideal for honey making. The warmth
dry weather, and absence OF wind have
been just the proper conditions, and
bees have been working on white clover
laying up a large store OF honey.

No Regular CeIebratiOn-The Town
Full of Vikitors-The Whoops and
Wells Indicated "a High State OF
Patriotic Fervor, while the Pop
ping Fire Cracker Denoted that
the Youthful Heart Responded.
Olympia did not hold a regular cele-
bration this year, and many of our
people, including of course prospective
candidates for office, found it a con-
venlent season to visit the assemblages
at several points in the county and
take the dear people" 10y the hand in
! the hope that their magnanimity
! might be rewarded in convention and
at the polls. Some of the more am
! bilious aspirants Grated for the dear
! people, and were thus enabled to utter
sentiments that might serve to make
them solid with the voter on cleo
ton day.
! That some attended these celebrations
without Il selfish motive, goes without
saying, but that there are SLY coons
who never do anything without a self
fish motive, is likewise true, and such
a fine opportunity for patriotic display
Is not afforded more than once year,
and 1T Is not in the nature of things
that it should be allowed to slip by I'M
improved. The coat is not cut, how
ever, for any special tit, and nobody
need try it on unless he thinks it may
direct attention to his well-shaped
figure.
The principal event of the day in
town was the arrival of the steamer
Geo. +. Starr, with about 30 excur-
sionists from Seattle, under the guild
ance of the Congregational Society of
that city. Most of these went to
Tumwater, while others spent the
several hours OF their stay in visiting
acquaintance and inspection of other
objects Of interest. The restaurants,
saloons, and stores that were open did
a good business, and the streets
seemed to be under the exclusive con-
troll of the American boy and his little
tirecrackers, while here and there
were youth OF mature growth with
larger crackers up to the mammoth
bombs which made report like unto
a cannon.
Quite a number of picnic parties
sought the shores of the bay for recre-
alton, within the contiguous shades"
of the evergreen canopy of nature, and
not so far removed from town but that
an eye might be kept upon home. A
few of our people went to Tacoma,
to Chautauqua, to Shelton, and other
outlandish places, but the majority re-
manned and made the impromptu
celebration success in all particulars.
In the evening very general dis
play of fireworks occurred. There
were no set pieces, it is true, but the
number OF rockets, roman candles,
pin-wheels, etc, that were set off kept
up the interest till long after the
usual civic display has gone up in
smoke. After this, those who were
not tired out participated in ball at
Tacoma hall, rounding out an oddly
