GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL
Gardner Reporter.l


One would think from the talk that is
being made over whether or not Mr.
Winsiow will stand by the gold platform
on which he was nominated, that the
whole future of the nation depended
upon it. He would have nothing to
do with the silver question if he was
elected, and he won't be elected To be
sure, if he sticks by his principles the
| vote thrown for him couldn't be con-
| sidered a showing of the silver strength
in the State, but If the silver Democrats
want to vote for silver candidate why
don't they vote for Batemans His plat
form ought to answer the purpose of
showing how many silver men there are
in the State, although 1t might not give
them so much of plum trust if the sill
Yer ticket should win.

Notwithstanding his free silver views,

fancy, more indigestible morsel than
did the profane British nobleman to the

who can solve the puzzle? Sewall wants

for silver but how can this be done

Mrs. G. A. Mottman died at the
family residence on Fourth and Chest
nut streets, at 80 o'clock Tuesday
evening, from dropsy of the brain.
She had been ill for year or more,
and at times her lie has hung by q
slender thread.
Mrs. Ms maiden name is Martensen.
She was born in Schesling, Holstein,
Germany in 1867, and came to this
country with her parents when but II
years OF age, locating in Chicago.
After residence OF several years in
that city the family moved to San
Francisco, and about eight years ago
came to Olympia, when its members
have since resided. About five years
ago, deceased was married to Mr..

residence yesterday, at 10 A. Nj. A
large and sympathizing cortege fol.
lowed her remains to the grave, and
the high esteem in which she was
held was manifested likewise by the
profession of floral offerings which
kind hearts and delft hands had en-
twined into objects expressive of the
hope of immortality that finds rest
ing place in every breast.

weekly Crop Bulletin.

The Weather Bureau, at Seattle,
furnishes the STANDARD with the
following crop bulletin for the week
ending June Odd:
The week ending Monday, June %,
has been the warmest thus far this
season. The temperature was quite
uniform until Sunday, the 2lst, which
was the warmest day. Monday, it
turned several degrees cooler. The
days were clear and sunshiny, except
the 18th and 22d. No rain occurred
except very light, scattering showers
in the northwest part of the State on
the 18th. The heat was nowhere ex.
cessive, and reports all agree that the
warm sunshine was very beneficial to
the crops, causing them to grow more
than in any previous week this season.
On the warmest days the temperature
of 76 at Seattle and SO at Walla Walla
were reached.
Ranchers have had a good week for
cultivating crops and killing weeds
in fact, for all seasonable farm work.
All vegetables appear to have done
well. In the eastern section wheat is
the most promising crop this year,
while in the western section hay will
apparently be the banner crop. The
haying season is now near at hand
some cutting will be done during the
coming week in the western section, il
the weather continues favorable. In
the eastern section the cutting of the
first crop Of alfalfa is under way. Oats
in the Skagit valley are growing we'll
all danger OF freshet there seems TO
be past.
This is decidedly not fruit year in
Washington, particularly in the west
ern section. Frost, blight and ex-
cessive rain at blooming time pre-
vented setting or caused young fruit
to drop until of plums, pears, prunes,
apples and cherries there is scarcely
any left on the trees. In the eastern
part of the State the situation is q
little better. The strawberry season is
now at its height. A large and fine
crop is reported from Walla Walla and
the Snake river country. In the west
the crop is only fair.
The need of q good rain is now be-
ginning to be felt.
WESTERN SECTION.
Port Angeles.-Farmers from east
and west end of county report that the
prospect of large yield Of wheat, oats
and hay never has been better. The
crop light. Rain needed.
La Conner A week of uninter-
rupted sunshine and warm, growing
weather has just closed.
SARA great many farmers are
cutting clover, which is fair crop.
small grain and vegetables look good.
Madrone.-Past week has been all
that need be desired for all growing
crops. Strawberries in profusion, OF
fine size and quality.
Lynden.-Best growth OF sc ason, 80
far; Hay will be tig crop. Grain
looks fairly we'll.

Ed. STANDARD:
A time has arrived in the history of

country when every citizen is called
upon to consider the most momentous
question since the days of black slav-
cry. Two great parties-Democratic

tiny for half a century, sometimes one,
sometimes the other. Each has had
full control of all departments, and
each has enacted and executed the
laws according to its own views.
With what result? We find $7O,-
