POSSIBLE PRESIDENTIAL TIMBER
1t has been intimated that the Demo.
Gratis might do worse than select their
candidate from the State of the Re-
publican sphinx, and nominate James
E. Campbell, Ex-Governor of Ohio, to
lead his party to victory in November.
1t is claimed that he can carry the
Buckeye State against the "tin.god,"
or any other man. He is not a gold
monometallist, nor a stickler for
coinage at ratio OF l6 to l. He be-
lieves in bimetallism under condi-
lions which make the dollar coined of
silver equal in intrinsic value to the
dollars coined of gold. It is possible
that some concession will have to be
made to secure party unity, and this
seems to be about the only one which
gives any promise OF harmony.

AT the risk of making mountain
out OF molehill, we quote from par
agrsph in the Olympian, the language
OF H. Clothier, of Anscortes, who has
gone over to the Republican party and
seems to want to advertise that fact.
He says:
81 have left the Democratic party,
and in my haste to get out cast the first
vote at the Republican primary held
here on the I'd inst. A party that can
boast of the immortal Lincoln as one of
its founders is good enough for me-"
It seems that Mr.. c. has been q
long time finding out that the Repub-
lican party has boosted of the i'm
mortal Lincoln as one of its founders"
If he had said almost anything else
in justification of his apostscy it would
have had sounder ring.

Destructive Cyclones.

On the afternoon Of the 10Th, a cy-
clone not exceeding two blocks in
width swept through the western part
OF Sherman, Texas, destroying every
thing in its course. 1t seems TO have
descended at the northern extremity
OF the city and arose after it had
plowed its way through the habita-
tons of man, leaving not a house
standing, nor not tree or shrub that
was not twisted of at the ground. 1t
is reported that fully 60 lives were
lost and 100 people W rounded, some of
whom will not survive. The loss i. in
the hundreds OF thousands. Destitu-
ton, as natural sequence prevails,
and $4,000 have been subscribed in
other parts of the city to relieve the
distress.
Sunday afternoon, about five o'clock
terrific cyclone swept down upon the
town of Frankfort, Kansas, from the
southwest. Everything in the north
and west ends of the town was COM
pletely wrecked. Probably three
score Of buildings were RACED to to the
ground. Some of the best residences
OF the town were blown to atoms. Re-
ports coming in from the country,
where heavy damage has been done,
will materially swell the loss. Many
head of horses, cattle and other
stock have been killed. The Metho-
dist church was demolished and
the Presbyterian church was badly
wrecked. Scores of people were left
homeless and cared for in public halls
and residences OF the more fortunate
citizens. The small number oil
casualties reported is accounted for by
the fact that nearly all the people fled
to their cellars. The little town oil
Bodaville was entirely swept away
At Spring Valley church was de.
molished in which $50 people were
worshiping. Many were injured. The
cyclone was followed by a heavy rain
and hail storm. The same cyclone
passed over portion of Nebraska, on
the same day, with the usual results
to property, and an unusual loss o.
life. 1t is reported that forty Irdiani
on the Pawnee reservation were killed
and several citizens at Falls City LOST
their lives.
Lincoln, Neb., was likewise visited
by a destructive atmospheric disturb
anco, in the form of a tornado, on the
18th inst. The wind blew fiercely fol
rs minutes during which time rain
fell as from a cloudburst. Buildings
were unroofed and trees uprooted.

Will Insure Success.

A special from indianapolis Qnd.),
to the Chicago Record, states that the
preliminaries for a generous support
OF the nominee OF the Chicago Conven-
ton have already been arranged by
the Populists of every State in the
Union, if he be a silver man and the
platform is for an equality Of silver
with gold at the minis OF the govern
eminent. The dispatch says that in
accordance with the negotiation, which
began several months ago, the Popu-
list National Convention and the Ma
tional Silver Party have been called to
meet in st. Louis on the same day,
July %, two weeks after the meeting
Of the Democratic National Conven-
ton in Chicago. The leading Demo-
cratic advocates OF free silver through.
out the country have been quietly in
formed that if the Chicago convention
adopts free silver plank and nomi-
mates a candidate who will pledge
himself to sign a free coinage bill il
one comes to him from Congress, the
action OF the convention will be in
dorsed by the two st. Louis conven-
tions. Representatives of the Populist
party have been travelling through the
West and Southwest during the past
six weeks suggesting that the State
conventions be postponed until the
Democratic National Convention in
July shall have been held, and asking,
too, that the Populists stand for the
free coinage of silver as the pre-emi-
nent issue.
1t is announced that in all direc-
tons the plans suggested are being
carried out. In many States there
have been conferences between the
leading free silver Democratic repre-
sentatives of the National Silver party
and the Populists. 1t has just leaked
out here, says the correspondent, that
. few days ago there was meeting OF
representatives of Indiana free silver
Democrats, Populists and National
Silver party men. The representa-
tives of the Populists announced in
the meeting that the State meeting
had been postponed until August in
order that the party might know the
result of the Chicago convention be-
fore it proceeded to arrange for the
campaign.

Is is Not So Unanimous"

The Spokane Spokesman Repiew
(Rep.), is unqualified in its denuncia-
ton of the financial plank in the
Everett platform. 1t pronounces tho
declaration, d" fiat heresy to all Ma
tional and State platforms hitherto
adopted by the party; that it stultifies
the votes, and utterances OF Republi-
can Senators and members of Congress,
discredits the declarations of Republi-
can leaders and runs counter to the
convictions of the Republican masses"
1t declares that at is preposterous to
say that the people of this State want
to maintain the gold standard, or
that the Republican voters have asked
the adoption as part of their faith Of
something never preached in the ma
tional utterances Of the party, and
which every person of ordinary in.
telligence knows is the financial
policy of the present discredited DEM
cratic administration" And, it asserts,
"When the Everett convention un.
dertook to ram its gold heresy down
the Threats OF the Republican voters,
it committed All act of incredible stu
pidity or turbulence"
That is just the way the matter
looks to the casual observer, but we
had supposed that the gold plating
had been 80 thorough as to still the
voices OF such potent factors as the
Spokesnsan-Review The work OF
subjugating public-opinion has been
vigorous and thorough and no means
have been left untried to silence the
still small voice of conscience where
ever it was expected to be raised in
expostulation. The very fact that a
State Convention could be voted two
to,one for such heresy" shows that
much united underhanded work has
been done all over the State.

PROPOSED CHANGE OF THE CALEN-
DAR-John S. Brooks, OF Washington
City, proposes that after Jan. LIST, 1900,
We have l3 months in the year. This is
not 80 foolish as it looks at first sight.
1t would make IL months of % days,
and one of 80, or 80 in leap year.
Each month would have just four
weeks, and there would be no need of
calendars, for the same day OF the
week would have the same dates
throughout the year. For example, if
the year came in on Monday, Monday
would be the LIST, 9Th, 18th and 22d of
each month throughout the year.
The changes of the moon would be
on about the same dates throughout
the year, and many calculations, like
interest and the maturing of notes,
would be greatly simplified. Mr..
Brooks proposes to call the new month
Lunar"

THAT was an extinguisher Mr..
Wiley placed upon Gov. McGraw when
the executive interrupted him, in his
speech at Everett, with the query
Isn't the silver dollar legal tender?"
and the answer came straight and
clear-cut "Not when the creditor
stipulates it shall be otherwise in the
contract" Either Gov. McGraw did
not know that the legal.tender quality
of silver could thus be eliminated, or
ne thought Mr.. Wiley did not know
it, and either horn OF the dilemma
is equally humiliating. The Governor
is bank President, and of course
knew better, and his attempt there
fore to dig pit for bis brother to fall
into, is the moro reprehensible.

Let Us Be Correct.

Samuel L. Crawford is publishing in
the Pr. an interesting series Of arti-
cles reviewing old-time political rem.
iniscences. In Sundays issue par
agraph is devoted to q cartoon that
appeared just after Selucius Gar6elde
was elected Delegate to Congress in
1869. entitled Garfelde's Trunk"
which is attributed to Fred. Elite, a
draughtsman of some repute in those
days, but whose talent was not known
to have run in the line of political
lampooning. The "trunk" alluded
to was drawn by the late Francis
Henry, and it contained admirable
portraits of Gen. Miller, A. r. Elder,
Elwood Evans, o. B. McFadden, P. d.
Moore, Randall Hewitt. G. F. Whit
worth, L. P. Beach, Cherokee Smith,
and the feet of H. G. Strive, the part
OF the body of that gentleman which
was most in evidence at that time.
These gentlemen, it was assumed by
The cartoonist, had either directly or
Indirectly aided in the election of Mr..
Garfelde to Congress, and were ex.
pectants of favors for that service. A
complaint made by them that he had
neglected to secure for them coveted
official positions was met with the ex-
cuse that he had, on his way to the
National Capital, lost his trunk, con-
tanning the applications and recon-
mendations by which the slate" was
to be recognized. This was the satir-
lists opportunity, and Photographic
copies OF the pen-sketch was circulated
all over the Territory.

A NEBRASKA court has decided that
gold contracts are void. Gold con-
tracts violate the constitution which
says the money OF the United States
shall be gold and silver. TO make a
contract specifically payable in gold or
silver is to discriminate in favor OF the
preferred metal. All contracts pro-
viding for the payment OF money
should read payable in lawful money
OF the United States"

A Timely Suggestion.

1t Is only within the space of about
twelvemonth that the merchants
and business men OF Olympia have
learned whole some lesson. Only re
Gently it was common boast OF con-
sumers that they could buy goods of
all kinds enough cheaper in Tacoma
and Seattle than in Olympia to pay
the expenses OF a round-trip to either
OF those cities, make their purchases
and come home with money in their
pockets.
But the tables are slowly turning.
Merchants OF Olympia are finding out
that quick sales and small profits are
the factors best suited to the times,
and from their own statements it ap-
pears that results are fully justifying
this policy. These things are more
observable perhaps in the various
lines of drygoods and clothing than in
other departments of trade.
1t is a fact to be depended upon by
all business men that people will not
60 away from home to buy goods il
they can secure as good bargains here
as elsewhere. A vast area of country
should legitimately have no other
marketing town than Olympia, and
we believe it is within the power OF
our local dealers to keep people at
home instead of melting them to go
abroad to sell their produce and make
their purchases. If tho people are
kept at home, their money will be
kept at home to augment the general
circulation among our own commun-
ity. 1t is but just to say that there are
as good and we'll selected stocks OF gen.
eral merchandise in Olympia as in
any city of like population on the Pa
cific northwest.
There is one other lesson TO be
learned by the business men of Olym-
pia and just what this lesson is will
be readily suggested by the following
incident: A farmer living about mid
way between Olympia and Tacoma,
but who can more easily reach this
city, said to us the other day, 81 take
all my butter, eggs, small fruits and
garden produce to Tacoma for the
simple reason that I can always find
a purchaser for it there for either cash
or trade, at my own option" Now
this tells significant story and the
moral connected with it ia worth the
study of philosopher.
Farmers and produce dealers are
relatively dependent upon each other
and the bond of unity between them
should be that which is inculcated in
the precept, Live and let live"
The facilities for shipping away
farm produce from Olympia are su-
perior In all respects, and far ahead OF
the best facilities possessed by those
cities which have only the advantages
Of railway transportation.
Now if there is not a dealer in
Olympia who is ready and willing to
buy everything in the produce line
that a farmer has to sell, then it is
time that we import a live rustler
from one OF our neighboring cities and
set him up in business. Such q man.
with liberal advertising, would turn
the tide OF trade and Olympia would
become the crowded trade entrepot
for the whole upper Sound. The ru.
raj districts about Olympia are full
and running over with all the varied
resources OF our wonderful northwest
border, and we believe there are
plenty of willing hands to develop
them if our local middlemen and
dealers rendered proper encourage
ment.
