RAINIER, Wash, Oct. l, 1896.
Rainier Republican Rally.

Messrs. Henry, Linn and Faulkner
were the speakers, w. J. Inman pre-
sided. The house was comfortably
filled.
When the Glee Club came to Bryan's
name in their opening song the triple
alliance warmly applauded it.
Mr.. Henry devoted some time to the
d" Barefoot Law" He also acknowl.
edged the corn" in regard to the re.
tention of moneys received by him
for fees and mileage, the payment oil
which has been declared unconstitu.
tional by the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Linn gave them lots of tariff
talk and little discussion OF the finan.
cial issue.
Mr.. Falknor gave them little dis
cussion of the financial issue and lots
of tariff talk.
After the close of the meeting they
called for three cheers for Mckinley

The Reason WHY.

A lady teacher in one OF the Olym-
pia schools wants to know why the
month just expired is accorded the
ninth month when, according to the
import OF its name it is only the sew
enth month.
She might have extended her in
quiry and asked why October, Novem-
Der and December are put down in
our almanacs as the tenth, eleventh
and 18th months when in name and
definition they are really the eighth,
ninth and tenth months. Now there
is some astronomy and a good deal of
Roman politics mixed up in this af-
fair, and in order 10 understand the
matter thoroughly one should read
carefully the history of our calendar,
especially from the time of its re-
formation by Julius Caesar.
The ancient year began with March,
and by this arrangement it will be
seen that the names of the last four
months in the modern year would
correspond exactly with the meaning
OF the names applied to them; that is
according to the Roman method of
reckoning time they would represent
the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth
months. while our January and Feb
ruary would fill the annual circle of the
year. With the Romans, the order
of the months corresponded with the
signs of the Zodiac. Thus our alma
macs give them in the following order:
Aries, Taurus, Gen.ini, Cancer, Leo,
Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius,
Capricornus, Aquarius and Pisces.
1t is to be regretted that modern
chronology has departed from this
beautiful simplicity of the Roman
calendar.

silver Sentiments.

Messrs. Moore and Brintnall, O
Olympia, delivered a rousing free silver
speech at meeting held at Rainier
Wednesday evening, Sept. 80, before 6
large audience, and the campaign i.
now on and no letting up till Nov. 3
Mr.. Moore is a patriotic citizen and 6
convert from the ranks of Republic
canism, also is Mr.. Brintnall. They
gave the people OF Rainier the reasons
in plain language why they are now
ranking with the reform forces.
We are always too willing to listen
to speakers Of any political faith il
they bring forth argument to sustain
their position, but those politicians
who are so and so because their party
has done, some time in their previous
history it's simple duty, have no claim
for special favor.
Did it ever occur to you when a pol
itician or office-seeker comes to YOU
and says: When l am elected 1 will
do my duty, or in my previous career
l have done my duty, that he is moi
doing anything more than we expect
of him when we hired him and paid
him our money to do his duty? If you
hire a man to do a piece of work and
he don't do as he agrees to, do you feel
like hiring him again and trying him
over?
Most, or at least whole lot of vot.
ers, do not stop to think that there is
reason in all things. even politics
and when party comes out full.
fledged and say they are in for the peo
pie and to do the peoples bidding on
a platform like the Republicans are
doing to-day in the State OF Washing
ton, they either think that the major
ity of voters are fools or slaves to 8
party name.
Now intelligent voters of Thurstor
county it lice with you to do YOU
duty to yourselves and to mankind or

The Republican meeting in the
theater, Wednesday night, was sue
cess in point of numbers, but the
better portion of the glee club was alb
sent and the speakers, Mr.. Stern of
Spokane and John l.. Wilson, who at
present fills the place of "the only Re-
publican Senator from this State"
did not como up to the reasonable ex-
pectation of 30 large an audience
Mr.. Stern led of with a few "desul-
tory remarks" as he termed them,
which were 80 desultory" rs to be
tedious, and so uninteresting and
pointless as to drive away part OF the
audience Notwithstanding u live SEN
ator was billed for the aiterpart.
Mr.. Wilson congratulated himself
upon his address being made almost
exclusively to Republicans, men and
women who were with him in prefer
ence and sympathy. His speech was
the usual TRADE against the Demo-
Gratis and Populists, the usual bitter
dennnciation of Silver Republicans,
the usual approval of Jack Republi-
cans and the usual laudations OF
Grover Cleveland, whose Judas-like
conduct towards his party has firmly
ingratiated him with all Goldbugs
The only point of interest out of the
common was the assertion that Mr..
Bryan, when the bill for the admis-
sion OF New Mexico was pending dur
ing the Fifty-third Congress, voted
against provision for insertion of a
provision that the English language
should be taught in the public schools
This charge is SO ably answered by
MIR. Gaby in an article under the
heading" Letters From the People,
that it is unnecessary to say more
than that the charge is evidently
made of whole cloth, for these reasons
1t is shown by the report OF the Sup.
erintendent of Public Instruction
quoted by Mr.. Joseph, the Delegate
from that Territory, that in the 6l9
public schools of that Territory, the
only language taught was the English
and that by authority of existing law
Then what motive could Mr.. Bryan
possibly have in resisting such a pro-
vision, if introduced?
That was the only kernel in the
chaff, and its sprouting has been
! checked by an early frost.

early age Steve became a newsboy on
the Bowery. AS he grew older he
mixed in all kinds of athletic sports
and soon came into public notice.

Various small incidents have diversi.
fled Brodie's life as a saloon keeper
and sporting man. He once climbed
an l." railroad pillar to recover the
pocket book OF a soubrette who was
doing specially at Miners Bowery
Theater. The purse had dropped
from the station to the oil-pan bel cath
On another occasion he climbed a
telegraph pole on Elizabeth street in
payment of an election bet. He was
referee at many negro cake-walks box
ing matches, pie-eating and water.
melon eating contests.
He has attended most of the pugilis-
tic encounters of recent years. He
lost great deal of money when John
l.. Sullivan was defeated by James j.
Corhett in New Orleans in 1892, but he
won a still larger amount when Corbett
whipped Charley Mitchell so quickly
at Jacksonville, in the early part OF
1894. After this contest Corbett pre-.
scented his colors, the Irish and Ameri
can flags to Brodie, who was then
suffering from rheumatism and at
tended the fight on crutches.
While in Chicago, during the Worlds
Fair, Steve jumped from cable car
and stopped runaway horse, saving
the life of Mrs. Harrison, who lived
on Washington Boulevard. When she
had recovered her faculties she asked
her rescuer for his name. "Just
Brodie" said Steve, al live in New
York, on the Bowery, and when you
are around, drop in"
Brodie's method OF giving charity
have attracted much attention. Dur
ing the hard times of 1898 and 1894 he
gave away bread, sausages and coffee
to all applicants. All over the Bowery
he had distributed hand.bill reading
go to Steve Brodie's, ia Bowery,
Coffee and bread free. You don't
have to buy drink to get it. Twelve
o'clock tonight. Every one welcome. >"
Thousands of homeless and penniless
poor devils responded to this invitation.
Once Steve stood in the doorway of
his saloon and saw a number of work
ing girls caught in sudden shower
A few days after it was known all over
New York that any poor girl might
borrow an umbrella at Steve Brodie's
without leaving deposit. Steve had
provided himself with two hundred
umbrellas on each one of which was q
little tag bearing the words: "This
umbrella belongs to Steve Brodie, III
Bowery. Please return it tomorrow
unless it is raining"
Steve Brodie will appear at Olym-
pia Theater in "On the Bowery" Tues

BOURKE MADE TO GNAw Files
Bourke Cochran does not seem to be
in favor at st. Louis. At a meeting
at the Auditorium, Monday night
there seemed to be desire to afford
the coat politician an opportun-
lty to square himself by making plain
the glaring Inconsistencies of his pres.
ent course, and questions were fired al
him from all parts of the hall. The
speaker did not seem to appreciate the
kind interest felt in his welfare, and
his replies rasped like buzz-saw when
it strikes the hard places in a knotty
piece of timber, and this pleased those
auditors who came to be amused and
angered those who were there 10 be
instructed. The disorder increased
until large part of the audience left
the hall in disgust, and the meeting
was total failure.

A REPUBLICAN Judge and q Repub-
lican Supreme Court have counted
out the Fusion Mayor of Tacoma, A.

feated Republican competitor Orr.
To do this, tickets that had the X

voted for instead OF the left, were de-
clared invalid. This is strictly in &C.
cord with Republican precedent, how

MORE SHOCKS AT VIEWPOINTS.
1T Was Thought the House Was Fall
ing Yesterday.

The house of James Newport on North
capitol avenue shook twice again yester-
day afternoon at 1925 o'clock. There were
two sharp reports, and with each the house
trembled and rocked and then the trouble
subsidized. The few spectators who had
been waiting patiently for such an oc-
curence gazed at the swaying building in
amazement and then went away satisfied
with marvellous accounts to tell their
friends. Theories of all kinds are still be-
ing advanced by newcomers, but those who
have by this time become familiar with the
MYSTERIOUS Quaking OF the house are con-
ylnced that the shocks are due to oil or
gas in the ground. A number contend that
the center wall is the only part or the house
that moves, but the majority, together with
Mr.. Newport, are certain that the entire
house rocks with a uniform movement, else
the chimneys, which have not been dam
aged in the least, would fail. That the CEN
ter wall should move so violently is ac-
counted for by the fact that it is of the
part of the room which was added to the
building after it was originally completed.
The kitchen was moved back and this room
was nut in between the kitchen and the
front part of the house, and the center wall
was probably not attached as firmly to the
frame of the house as if the entire structure
had been built at once. Ii there is any
danger of the house falling down herein
lies the danger. The house rocked vio-
lently when the two shocks came yeSter-
day, and the report was started that the
house was falling, but his was found TO
be, untrue. MIR. Newport still sticks to his
determination to continue living in the
house.
Last night at s o'clock there were sew
eral more severe shocks and Mr.. Newport
decided to abandon the house for the night.
A reporter. who wanted to experience the
sensation, was left inside, and a telephone
message received downtown at midnight
of cigarettes. with no drug store open
within three miles.
