W ILL HE DO 1T?
Dollars 10 DOughnuts He Goes Back
on His Word.

When a goldbug knows anything he
knows it strong. His faith in himself
is as imprcgnable as the Rock of Glib
raltar. When he disputes a PROPOSE
ton, it is with arrogance and buster,
even though he be grossly ignorant OF
the subject under dispute.
An instance in point is afforded from
the experience of Mr.. Gaby, who is
never better pleased than when bring
ing such cattle up with round turn.
While in conversation with Surveyor
General Watson, the other day, Mr.. G.
dropped the remark that Congress had
declared, several years ago, that all
Government bonds were payable in
silver dollars, at the option of the Gov
eminent.
This was the red flag of warfare for
the Surveyor General; this the occa.
sion to show that he was cuckoo and
could chirup" me too" in accord with
the birds of golden plumage who now
hover around the throne of Grover III.
lie at once declared that the assertion
was not true, and notwithstanding
Mr.. Gaby offered to prove by unim-
peachable Republican testimony that
a concurrent resolution was introduced
by Senator Stanley Mathews, in 1878,
and that it received an overwhelming
majority in both branches Of Congress,
Mr.. Watson was still as obstinate a.
the proverbial Government Mule"
He knew it was not 80 because he
did not want it to be so. He was
sure thas it could not be so, for it was
in conflict with the goldbug ideas of
common sense and propriety-there-
fore, by the eternal it was not so. APP
preaching a climax, the boss OF the
surveyors declared, as an ultimatum
which should satisfy all reasonable
doubt, that if Mr.. Gaby could prove
his assertion, he (Watson) would
(horrible to relateD vote for Mr..
Bryan for President!
AS Peck's bad boy would say, "That
settled it," Mr.. Gaby was put TO the
test, when 10, and behold! he drew a
copy of Twenty Years of Congress"
by James G. Blaine, and read the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolued, That all the bonds of the
United States issued or authorized to be
issued, under the said acts of Congress
hereinbefore recited, are payable, prin-
cipal and interest, at the option of the
government of the United States in sill
yer dollars, OF the coinage of the United
States, containing four hundred and
twelve and half grains each of stand
ard silver; and that to restore to its
coinage such silver coins as a legal ten
der in payment of said bonds, principal
and interest, is not violation of the
public faith nor in derogation of the
rights of the public creditor.
The resolution, it was shown from
the same unimpeachable authority,
had passed the Senate by vote of 43
to y, and the House by 1879 to 70.
So Mr.. Watson stands pledged, by
his own voluntary act, to vote for the
Bryan electors in November.
Will he do it?

Burning Words of Truth.

Burning Words of Truth.
ED. STANDARDS:
II so great misfortune could posi-
bly, fall upon the people of the United
States as the election of Mckinley,
what would he the result?
In my humble opinion, and believe
that OF every other man who is capable
of throwing aside party prejudice, the
result would be increased oppression
of the producers of wealth. Why?
Because Mckinley is onlya tool of the
money power with Mark Hanna in the
lead, and who is Mark Hanna? He is
the man who says Mckinley will be
the next President; "If we can't win
one way, we will another" or, in other
words, if we can't win by honest votes
we will win by bribery and fraud. As
A. H. Lewis says: at is l6 of Hanna
TO l of Canton candidate. The syndi-
cate is in the saddle, the candidate is
beneath it with the syndicate bit in
his mouth and the syndicate spur in
his quarter. They have bought Nc
Kinley, bought and paid for him like
horse. They have housed and fed
and financed him for five long years to
ride him to the White House in go"
Just think Of q candidate for the
high office of President of these United
States with notes against him for
$llS 900 and those notes in the hands
of a syndicate that controls his every
act! No wonder the man is silent,
for he was for silver, and his record is
record of silver. Bought and bound
and owned, he is for gold. He is
silent or finds his voice at the orders
of the syndicate. What a proud day
would dawn for the country when it
inaugurated President utterly at the
mercy of the ring that grit him round
A great deal has been said of Bryan's
youth. Which is best to vote for, an
honest freeman, however young, or
captive, however old? Bryan is at
least free; there are no strings on
him; he has no bit in his mouth and
no syndicate to ride him; he is a man
of the people and always has been.
His every act in Congress has been in
opposition to tyranny and oppression
and the platform on which he stands
embodies everything that govern
ment oflthe people could desire. Youth
is much in his favor, for he is just in
the full vigor of life, a period OF life
when all the physical and mental
forces are at their best, and his honesty
and integrity is unquestioned. In
voting for Bryan the people are voting
for an untramelled freeman, for Nc
Kinley a captive of sOulless syndi.
cate that will dictate his policy from
first to last, and everybody knows
what that has been for the past
three decades. Bonds and mort
cages to the tune OF $lS,OOO,OOO,-
90 saddled on an enlightened people
in the grandest country the world has
ever known in thirty years of profound
peace. ought to be sufficient answer
to any one who possesses brains
enough to pound sand in rat-hole.

Rogers, the Peoples nominee for Gov
ernor writes to Chss. II. Aver, Mayor
OF this city, as follows:
81 am told that there is some uneasi-
ness existing in the minds of some of
our supporters residing in Olympia who
fear the re-opening of the question of the
relocation of the State Capitol. In my
opinion this is groundless. l do not
think the question of removal or re-lo-
cation should be allowed to come up
again. The people of the State regard
the matter as settled beyond recall. l
certainly do, and am opposed to its
introduction into our politics. will say
further that although opposed the APP
preparation of money for the building of
a State Capitol at time of universal de-
preston, | took that stand not because
OF any unfriendliness to the people OF
Olympia, among whom l found many
warm friends, but solely in the interest
OF the tax-burdened people of the State
at large, nor have ever or at any time
expressed myself in other terms than
here employed"

Where Water Is Scarce.

haven't shirt clean enough TO put on. "

endeavored to look sympathetic. The
friend continued, II dare say you think
it odd that / don't have them washed!
Mr.. Ellis, hardly knowing what to
saw. inquired, "Why don't you"
The friend unfolded a horrible tale TO
the effect that the water supply OF the
island consisted principally of what
was distilled by condenser, small
ouantity being obtained from Dampier' $
drins and Brandeth wells; that water
was always so scarce that it was served
ont like ration of rum, only more
sparingly, the allowance in prosperous
times being two gallons day per man.
When clothes We're sent to the wash'
the water for washing them had to DC
sent with them. But the condenser AT

so that they had not enough for drink
ing much less for washing either them
