just q Reminder.

Our good Br'er Murphy of the WASH.
INGToN STANDARD is having a sorry
time of it at Olympia with "his Ac-
cidency," as he styles the distinguished
curlo who is the present Governor of
this sorely-tried Commonwealth, and
for whose election the STANDARD did
such valiant service in the recent CAM
paign. The medicine he is now get
ting in allopathic doses was in our
minds eye-very evidently-when we
penned the annexed squib at close of
the contest:
From the Reporter. Nov. 80, '96.
1t does us real good to note the ex-
uberalt JOY of Bier Murphy of the
STANDARD over the Kickashaw victory in
this State. There may be a happier
man somewhere but we have not heard
OF him. To think of the felicity of be-
coming the organ of an incoming adj
ministration at the State capital is an
experience which Br'er Murphy has so
long denied that we can't do otherwise
than admire the grandeur of his consola-
tons Our good old friend is 80 UNIQUELY
sassy and sarcastic that it is more of a
treat than ever to read the STANDARD.
Laugh now. Br'er; the new machine
has too many loose screws to run to your
liking and it's possible you'll have to
blow it to thunder before it works to suit
you.
And that's what the STANDARD man
is living for now-to blow this Rogers
sky high. Alas for the rarity of Kick
ashaw charity under the heels of the
Puyallup mule.-Nooksack Reporter.

OLYMPIA. WASH.
FRIDAY EVENING, NAT /. 1897.
Off Its Nut.

The Ogmpian Il few days ago, pub
li>hod what rurl,"rted To- hc i Wash
ingt"n dispatch OF the ith inst. pre-
faced 10y the startling head lines,
James Ham. Lewis Nqurlchcd-
Speaker Reed Drops Brick House on
the 'Coluncl'-II" Was too Fresh"
and " House Administer, Lessen To
the Fresh Young Dude After read
ing these sensational! uutbursts, we
were somewhat surprised to find that
they were based upon a no more secure
lcngc made 10y the autocrat of the
House, Speaker Reed, for any member
to propose resolution instructing the
Speaker to appoint the standing COM
mittccs, Il duty which has been ignored
by Mr.. Reed for the same reason that
he inaugurated his autocratic ruling
of Il visible quorum some time ago, to
keep the party whip we'll in hand.
1t seems that James Hamilton
Lewis, one OF the members from this
State, picked up the gauntlet thrown
down with such autocratic flourish,
and moved the adoption of a resolu-
ton of the tenor suggested by the
Speaker.
The result of this measurement Of
swords showed, on final vote, that
while the resolution was defeated, that
81 Democrats voted with Mr.. Lewis
for it, while SO voted with Bailey of
Texas, the hitherto recognized Demo-
cratic leader of the House, against the
measure. The Republicans, of course,
sustained the GEAR" as might have
been expected.
Just when and where the redoubt-
able Colonel was "squelched"; just
how the brick house" was dropped on
him, or how the House administered
a lesson to the "Fresh Young Dude"
is not apparent from the record. And
it seems that the leading New York
dailies possess similar obliquity of
vision, for the World, the Tribune, the
Sun and the Times, of the great me-
tropolis, and the Washington City
Times, herald James Hamilton Lewis
as the new Democratic leader in Con.
gress. That this designation is mer-
tied is shown by the fact that Bailey
and the New York Democracy are
planning to have the next campaign
run ON the Dingley bill, with an in
crease of tariff, eschewing the silver
issue. Force is given to the congrat-
ulations of the Washington Times by
the fact that it is a Bryan organ and
undaunted in its support of the prin-
ciples OF the Chicago platform.

Our Criticisms Were Mild.

The very few of our readers who
have thought that the STANDARD was
too severe in its criticisms of his acct
dency should read what some other
papers of the State have to say in con-
domination of his official acts. Our
comments are as rose-water to oil of
vitriol in comparison. Just read what
writer in the Seattle Call has to say
OF the executive. Hear him:
AS a liar he outranks Ananias; in
teaching he could give Iscariot pointers
as q hypocrite he is only equaled by
Bishop Cramer, and as stultifier he
surpasses John G. Carlisle"
The Sumner Herald, which accorded
Mr.. Rogers a Jealous support, in a
long article of the most bitter invec-
tive, says:
:" Men who three months ago were his
admirers and friends, now declare him
to be an inveterate, notorious liar, capa-
BILE OF any degree of political perfidy."
And how comes Hon. F. r. Baker,
i'll the Tacoma Sun with an open let.
ter to Major Ballaine, the Governors
Secretary and "power behind the
throne" with the injunction that
I" If your most magnificent master an
swers mo- to any of these questions, i'm
mediately give him the cloak that your
ancestor Ananias cast upon your noble
shoulders when you stepped into his
shoes, because it is an open question,
even now, which has the better right to
wear it, your master or Yourself"

Still Butting a Grindstone.

! A correspondent writing from Seat
tie, under date of the 4th inst, says:
! "My attention has been called to
little spiteful venom from the pen of tn,
Times editor, in reference to the Stat,
capitol. He says: If Gov Roger!
wants every legal voter in the State t.
approve the veto Of the capitol bill, al
he needs to do is to induce those voter.
to make trip to Olympia some Satur
day, thereby compelling them to stay
till Monday morning for lack of any
transportation facilities with which tC
reach the outside world. An experiment
of this kind is guaranteed to secure 80,
600 votes out of the 100000 voters in the
State of Washington in favor of re-
moval'
Now l wonder where this great man
Blethen (or whatever his name may be,
was, when the vote on the capitol loca'
ton was submitted to the people.
think that the facilities for going and
coming are about as good now if not bet.
ter than when the vote was taken.
think a boycott of his paper by Olym-
plans is strictly in order, and it would
be proper to let the Times stay out of a
city for which its editor has so great a
dislike. The P.-I. has reduced its sub
scription rate and is much better
newspaper than the Times.
Where was this mighty parsonage
when Olympia was acknowledged to be
the most eligibly situated city on the
Sound? Were the people right, or has
this wise man from the East convinced
them of error?
l do not think he will find the treat
ment he merits quite as palatable as
gum-drops."
Our correspondent is assured that
the above structures will be the first
intimation to many of our people that
there is such paper in the State as
the Times, and they rate quite high in
general knowledge derived from read
ing the current news of the day. And
the few who may occasionally have
their attention called to its vitupera-
ton will find no difficulty in rating its
influence at it true value. The Times
during the Legislative session had sew
eral pet measures, among which was
one for removal of the capitol, another
for removal OF the Supreme Court and
still another for removal of the State
library, from Olympia, and notwith-
standing the Legislature was largely
composed of men of the Times politi-
cal belief, its suggestions had no more
effect than puff of wind against q
stone wall.
1t is not very probable that its pres
ent structures have any more weight
in moulding public opinion, as its
leading argument" for all these
changes was just the reason now as
signed that it claims justifes his acct
dency's veto-the want of transporta-
ton facilities to and from the seat of
government.

A Young LADY IN COMMAND.-One
of the romantic incidents of the
Greek-Turkish war, is the command
of 1900 troops by girl sixteen years
of age, dressed in the same uniform as
the men. Helen Constantindis, is the
name of this heroine, and she appears
to be imbued with the true spirit of
a soldier, fighting from motives of
patriotism. She is said to be an ex-
cellent shot and to have no fear of
death. Her influence upon the SOL
diery is said to be supreme, and her
late departure from Athens for the
field of carnage aroused unbounded
enthusiasm. Let us hope that her
patriotic devotion may be attended
by deeds that will perpetuate her
name in Hellenic verse.

Keen Cool. Colonel.

The STANDARD, very early in its ca
reer, adopted certain rules for guidance
in commenting upon public matters
and among these was one to respect
individual rights, and never to infringe
upon hounds that concerned alone the
private affairs of any citizen. On pub
lie matters, it has endeavored to live
up to its motto: "Iiew to the line
let the chips fall where they may
Thirty-scven Years OF experience has
led us to believe that this determine
ton was based not only upon justice,
but an eminently correct conception
Of journalistic duty.
When an individual steps out from
the secl,ision of private life, however,
and becomes a candidate for public
position, his fitness for the place, his
integrity of character, and his ability
TO render the best service attainable
for the position, become matters OF
legitimate criticism of those conserva-
tors Of the popular weal-the press.
AS no man with a fair understanding
of the relative duties of the partisan
newspaper and the requisite fitness of
the ambitious office-seeker, will dis
pute this position, We were consider
ably surprised that Col. Heustis took
exception to the exceedingly mild
comments of the STANDARD upon his
anticipated appointment to the Col
lectorship at Port Townsend, as we'll
as his manner of making that dis
pleasure manifest. Had he sought a
private interview and made his de-
mands known, the writer would have
been quick to review his opinion, and
if an injustice had been done, to have
made ample amends; but the Colonel
should have known that no effort to
brow-beat or intimidate the STANDARD
has ever yet succeeded, nor do we be-
lieve it will now, though confronted
by threats of dire punishment, if we
do not consent to be muzzled.
In stating that the Colonel's duties
as Collector will be largely the work
of clerks who have gone through the
crucial test OF a civil service examina-
ton, and therefore likely to be salts
factory, there was conveyed only the
most remote allusion to an incompe-
tency which some of his own party as
sociates have alleged with vigor and
emphasis. The STANDARD, as a DEM
ocrasic newspaper, had right-it was
its duty-to comment upon this, as
other affairs, just as its God-given
ability to discriminate between the
good and bad, the right and wrong,
the perfect and the imperfect, has al
ways been exercised in such matters
as come before us for comment in our
chosen field of action in life. That
our comments wounded the Colonel, is
surprise to us, and his exhibition of
temper as a result goes very far to
confirm the opinion that he is irascible
and lacking in sound judgment, an.
other factor that had not entered into
the mental diagnosis of his fitness for
an important office.

A Partisan Horror.

The latest appalling horror hap
pened in Paris, Tuesday. 1t was the
loss of more than 200 lives by the
burning of building in the middle of
the afternoon, while crowded by peo-
pie and occupied as charitable ba-
Ear, an annual function presided over
by the leaders of Partisan society. It
is estimated that there were from l..
500 to 1900 people in the pavilion
when the disaster occurred. A wild
rush ensued for the exit, a single
doorway, and aged people and women
were ruthlessly trampled under foot.
The building was of wood and the con-
tents inflammable, affording just the
conditions for rapid spread of the
flames. In twelve minutes, scene of
animation and joy was transformed
into one of death and despair, and
the spot where hundreds had been
gathered in holiday attire was mass
of cinders and ashes, where many
joyous heart had been stilled forever.
Quite a number of the dead were
prominent members of the nobility of
France. Sumptuous equipages which
had been waiting for their owners,
moved off empty, or with the mangled
bodies of those who had but a short
time before driven to the fair filled
with exultation and zeal for their
work. The fire originated from ex-
plosion of an Illuminating apparatus
of the kinetomatograph which set fire
to the curtains and hangings used in
decoration of the stalls.

Object Of the Waldorf Banquet.

The belief that Mr.. Cleveland wants
to be the Democratic candidate in
1900 Is prevalent among Democrats in
Congress and that his New York
speech was his first move in that di-
rcctiun. Speaking on the subject
Representative Richardson, OF Ten
neS>ee, said: As soon as he was out
OF office before, plan of campaign
was organized in his behalf. Although
his nomination seemed to I've the re-
suit OF a popular wave in his favor,
the fact is that Il sentiment for him
was adroitly stimulated by articles in
the country press and by literature
sent out by mail, both emanating from
a headquarters in New York. His
friends had plenty OF money and the
same organization is at his disposal
to-day" Representative Bland, of
Montana, said. "Yes, Cleveland hopes
to be nominated, and he will be, but
not by the Democratic party, which
will remain true to the principles de-
clared at Chicago last year. He will
be the candidate of the handful of
people at the Reform Club dinner. l
shall be very glad to see the issue direct
ly made, for do not believe Mr.. Cleve-
land will find corporaPs guard to
follow him. There is one good thing
about the dinner. 1t shows that there
is to be no concession and no COM
promise, and that the Cleveland party
will not coalesce with the 100000
who followed the regular standard

Alabama, said: al should not WON

West, who are not favorable to high

ever he can and from whatever party
that is willing to help him in his
ambitions. The Democracy, however,
will 60 ahead and make its fight with
out him." Representative Carmack,
of Tennessee, said: AZ have heard
the gentlemen who participated in the
Reform Club dinner called the Wal
dorff Democracy, because they met at
the hotel of that name, but I call
them the Walked-of Democracy, be-
cause they are by themselves, repre-
senting nobody, and unable to in
fiuence vote. l have no doubt that
Mr.. Cleveland and his friends are
scheming to have him nominated in
1900, but they will certainly not be
successful if they hope to have him at
the head of the regular Democracy.
He will never be in the ranks of our
party again."

THE new tariff bill was reported to
the Senate Tuesday. Several sections
of the Dingley bill are stricken out,
and the act is practically new meas
ure. 1t provides for duty of II
cents on lead ores, 2 cents on pig lead,
II cents on hides and a moderate duty
on fruits, timber, coal and wool. It is
said that Eastern Senators will de-
mand that the duty on hides be
stricken out, and the West will re-
taliate by moving horizontal reduc-
ton on manufactured goods. The
bill will come up for action on the
18th inst. Senator Jones, of Nevada,

A Hindu Sage" Called Down.

A Hindu, calling himself the Drama
charm Bobhablukshu, who was guest
of the Woman's Congress lately held
in San Francisco, created a scene on
the last day of the session, when in
vited to make an address, by gross
criticisms of the proceedings of the
congress and condemnation of the
sentiments expressed by its members.
His TRADE was directed especially
against the women of the west who he
denounced as savages. "Will you tell
me-" said he, "the difference between
the Indian who puts feathers in his
hair, and the woman who wears feath-
ers in her hat?" He then began q
personal attack upon Mrs. Helen H.
Gardner, when his voice was drowned
by storm of Kisses and shouts from
the audience, amid which he was hus-
tied from the stage and let out into
the street through the furnace room
and coal-hole.
It is probable that this incident
grew out of a want of knowledge of
the customs of this country, or rather
a too perfect adherence to those of his
own. The distinction of caste among
the Hindus is carried to such an ex-
tent as to justify the death of one of
the lower orders for merely touching
the garment, though by accident, of
the higher sarcedotal caste. The
Bramacharin claimed that he had
been insulted by one of the ladies,
who had touched his silken robes,
while he was sitting on the platform,
and that this justified his ungentle-
manly attack. Be that as it may, he
would have been taught lesson in
good breeding, had not his exit been
hasty and unceremonious.
The Hindu, it seems, came to be
the guest of the congress, through an
inquiry he had made at the theosoph-
ical headquarters for Annie Besant,
who was expected in the city. This
seems to have been sufficient introduce
ton to the progressive and sometimes
over.zealous ladies, and they at once
entered into negotiations for his pres
ence, paid his transportation from Los
Angeles and entertained him while in
the city. They have doubtless learned
that although 4 country may be the
birthplace of transcendental form
of religious belief, it is not always
safe to trust "outside barbarians" for
the possession of that spirit of rever.
ence for womanhood and chivalry fol-
the fair sex entertained by their own
countrymen.
