AN OLD-TIME SALUTATIoN.-D. B.
Ward, Secretary of the Washington
Pioneer Association has issued an ad-
dress to the society urging those who
have been remiss in active co-opera-
ton to renew their zeal, which he
prefaces with the following salutation
in the classic of pioneer days, the
melifluous Chinook:
klow ha yah Ancutty TiIlacoom La la
nika wake nannach mika;
Re alta nika hammock sum copa mika.
Which interpreted means: "How
are you, old-time friend. 1t has been
q long time since / have seen you.
And /, therefore, now write to you."

A "Long-Felt Want"

1t is q remarkable fact in the ma
tural order of economic adaptation
that when necessity exists for any
great factor in the worlds progress
there inevitably arises just the means
necessary for its development. HistO-
ry affords the memorable example of a
Cincinnatus, dragged from the pillow to
save Rome, feat he accomplished in
twenty-four hours from the vigor and
determination of his immediate CAM
paign. Ericsson's bantam warship,
the Monitor, affords another instance
and in our own era, where little gi-
ant slew a Goliah, the Merrimac, at q
critical moment in our country's his
tory.
But it is unnecessary to cite exam
pies which support the assertion, and
justify the belief that a simon-pure
Populist paper at the State capital is
a sine qua non for political success of
the present State administration. And
in looking over the State, where can
be found man better equipped for
service than the Honorable Charles E.
Cline, of Whatcom 1t may be that
his advent is somewhat Minerva-like,
and that he leaps into the ring full
fedged and amply equipped, but that
in no way dims his achievements so
far, nor detracts from the hope of sue
cess i'll the future.
Olympia affords a wide field for jour-
nalistic enterprise. 1t is an ideal city
just such endeavor. 1t is the Athens
of our commonwealth, and has never
had an able advocate nor an acknowl-
edged oracle of the true faith.
The STANDARD will accord cordial
welcome to the new paper, the Wash
ington Stale Journal, when it makes
its appearance, sometime in January.

A WEAK MAN FOR AN EXALTED Po-
sITIoN.-A vigorous protest against
the appointment of Attorney General
McKenna to the Supreme bench; has
been forwarded to the President from
Oregon and California, signed by sew.
eral Federal and State judges and a
number of lawyers of high reputation.
They affirm that McKenna's record as
lawyer, politician, judge and Attorney
General, show that he is not qualified
either by natural gifts, education, or
decision Of character, for any judicial
position OF Importance. This remon-
STRANGE will place the President in a
very embarrassing position, for it is I'M
derstood that McKenha has been
promised the place and has already
performed duties that serve to "bind
the bargain" as it were. The Presi-
dent, it is thought, will perform his
part of the contract, leaving it to the
Senate to protect the bench from a
lowering of that standard of judicial
ability for which it has always been
accredited.

1T MAY Be THE LAW, BUT IT SEEMS
UNJusr.-Considerable space bas been
devoted in this issue to the findings of
the Superior Court in the case of
Tumwater VS.. Pix, it being a case of
Importance to the ax-paying public.
The Supreme Court in its deliberations
seems to have lost sight of the equity
involved in the case, and to have based
its decision solely ON technical
point of law, taking the ground that
it was incumbent on the respondent
to appear before the Town Board of
Tumwater when summoned and make
his objections. This opinion is not
concurred in by legal gentlemen out
side of the Supreme Court, who hold
that the respondent would by appear
ing before the board, have virtually
acknowledged its right and authority
to make special assessment against
his property, right which he has
never conceded, and has endeavored to
resist to the best of his ability, claim
ing that no special work was performed
in front of his premises; that nothing
further was done than to put the
street in passable condition, for which
services himself and grantors have been
paying their road taxes for many
years, and that to charge his property
E with any special tax whatever, was
both illegal and unjust.

No MORE TRAVEL BY FREIGHT
TRA1Ns.-At meeting of the Presi-
dents OF the Western roads, lately held
in st. Louis, it was agreed that from
and after Jan. LIST, under no circum-
stances will passengers be allowed to
ride on freight trains. This privilege,
on Western routes, where passenger
coaches make their trips at long inter-
walls, has been great advantage to
travelling men and the public, and its
withdrawal has caused loud protest
to be made from all parts of the
West. Unless some good reason can
be given for this arbitrary order it
should be reconsidered. More trains
or less red-tape, is the demand of the
travelling public.

OLYMPIA, WASH, Dec. 3, 1897. g
To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
am reliably informed that home
seekers can obtain good government
homesteads in the region between Gray's
harbor on the south and the Straits of
Fuca on the north. am told by those
who have recently come from this
region that good lands can there be
found which are not difficult to clear.
That it is possible for a person to 20
there during the fall or winter and clear
enough land and raise enough crops the
following summer to support family
during the secoud year. The timber is
not attractive to loggers, the soil is
good and everything, l am told, is
favorable to the honest worker who is
seeking for home upon the soil. The
best and most practicable route
think would be first to Aberdeen,
Chehalis county, thence north tc the
lands in question.
Write +. A. McDougall. 1855 f. street,
Tacoma, enclosing, say % cents, for par
ticulars. j. K. Rogers.
What is to be done with the "25
cents" we can OF course only surmise.
1t may be an even "whack-up" with
Mr.. McDougall, or it may be scheme
to amass q corruption fund to run the
next Legislature, but in either event
it is patent that the executive lends
his official position, on purely hearsay
information, to steer home-seekers to
q Tacoma man for information on a
subject, which, in all its spurs and sim
uosities, is about as diversified as horse
trading.
A natural inference would be that
the Governor and his partner is inter
ested in booming coast land realty
and Aberdeen town-lots, but the
astounding success of the former as
reform politician precludes the belief
that having become veritable resi-
dent of Lagado, with his head in the
region above the clouds, he could by
any possibility descend to gross specu-
lations in dirt. 1t is plain upon re.
Election, that his interest is only a
secondary consideration, share in the
possible benefits from distribution Of
the snipes after they have been bagged
by the man who holds the candle.

some who took part IN that movement
haze only supported certain candi-
dates and have either rciraincd from
voting for others or have east their
votes ior their PARTISAN opponents.
This fact i specially Observable in the
votes east ioY Clerk and Treasurer,
where loi majority i scored for J. T.
ScoGcld Poruli>t, and IL minority for
+. q. BLAKE, the Republican nominee
Tor holding the sack. The former
doubtless received the full strength OF
the Popuiist vote, plus the Demo
cratic, and probably all the Silver Re-
publican vote OF the city; the latter,
ii is evident, received the full Rcpubli-
can, plus the Populist vote. Mr..
iroy's lO7 majority may be accounted
for on the presumption that he re-
ceived the Democratic vote, plus the
Republican support that Mr.. Falknor,
his Republican partner, can throw into
the "pot,' when occasion warrants.
In the vote for Allen White and JOS
eph Cheim for Councilman. at Large,
probably fair divide OF the two ma.
. tional parties is made, and the result
is tie.
The vote on Mayor is by no means
fair criterion of the relative strength
of the two men. Last year Mr.. Byrne
beat Mr.. Lane, his present competitor,
So votes, and now the majority for the
latter gentleman is 81. True there is
a falling off of 100 votes in the aggre-
gate number cast for Mayor, but that
does not account for a majority
against the man who has just COM
pleted a remarkably praiseworthy
term Of Office. The fact is that many
voters respected Mr.. Byrne's wish for
retiracy from a position which absOrbs
much time which is of value to an
active business man. 1t was only
after persistent solicitation that he
consented to become a candidate, and
then with strong personal endorse
ment of his competitor still ringing in
the voters ears. 1t is fair to assume
that this course influenced more than
the 16 votes necessary to have given a
majority on the other side.

branch of industry for the manufac-

says that sleds and sleeping-bags will

ture of those articles to meet the de-
mand. These articles may be made
anywhere on Puget Sound, and be on
the line of supply.
