ONLY PRACTICABLE PLAN.
(Fayetteville Observer.)

The only practicable plan for getting
enough whites together to win, is to
hive them on the Chicago platform.
That is the Democratic doctrine and
good enough for our former Democratic
friends. As to the other whites-those
who have always voted with the negroes
there is but handful of them who de-
sire white supremacy, if there are any.

A NATIONS FLOWER WORSHIP.
"a charming feature of japanese
flower cultivation is the part that it
plays as fashionable occupation for
people of leisure. Every japanese lady
IS taught, as a part of her youthful
education, the art of arranging flower
decorations, just as she is also taught
to write, to sew, to embroider, and to
paint. Every Japanese gentleman may
with property and credit devote part
of his time to the cultivation of flowers
with his own hands. 1t is a coN
mendable custom there for the father
when he reaches 60 years or so, to re-
tire from active business and put his
son in his place; then the father will
probably take up one or two special
flowers and spend his time in watching
nature and improving on her processes.
There lived near us in Toxic a charming
old gentleman (now, alas, departed)
who had thus retired from business and
was making a special study of chrysan-
themums. All the year through he
watched the bulbs, trained the stalks,
attended faithfully to every circumstance
of sunlight, temperature, and moisture
that could affect the growth of his bios
SONS; and then. in November, he threw
open his garden to the public, and every
afternoon saw lines of people thronging
his garden paths and enjoying the rows
of chrysanthemums arranged in little
booths; while the old gentleman sat Out
on his piazza, smoking his dainty pipe,
greeting his friends and acquaintance,
and beaming with pleasure at the
thought of his beautiful flowers and the
attention they attracted. His flowers
We're indeed exceptionally fine. He him
self proudly believed that some of his
fine varieties could not be matched even
n the imperial gardens. l once remark
ed to him that all the neighborhOod
seemed to admire his chrysanthemums.
"Neighborhood?" he exclaimed, with
friendly remonstrance. "Why, people
come from all the country round to see
these rare varieties"

Altitude of Mt. Tacoma.

The latest computation of the alti-

bia crest, the highest point, Ia ,52S feet
above the level of the sea. These fig
ures have been deduced from observa-
tions made by professor Edgar Nc
Clure' who lost his life while descend
ing the mountain the night of July
27, 1897. The computation was made
by Professor E. H. McAllister, occupy
ing the chair of applied mathematics

was referred Professor McClure's MEM

The Railroad Situation.

Editor Olympian II was much in
terested in your leading editorial of
last evening upon the probabilities in
connection with future railroad build
ing. 1t really seems like Rip Van
Wrinkle experience to find such sub
ject seriously discussed again. Is it
possible! }! Capital again seeking in
vestment in railroad securities in the
Northwest! Surely this must be an
echo from the past! At no time dn-
ring the dreary years of depression
and democratic rule of the recent past
have We leard whisper of progress or
development. The energies of our
people were directed to an effort TO
keep from starving to death. Finally.
we were told that nothing could ever
bring prosperous times again, except
the free coinage of sil-but that's an
other story

chased that property to be operated as
legitimate investment, they will find
1T an absolute necessity to extend
their feeders in these ends of the earth
i'll order to successfully compete with
rivals. That will mean the compile
ton and operation of the Portland-Pu-
get Sound extension through Olym-
pla, without doubt. 1t will also likely
mean the completion of the Port
Townsend Southern through from the
Key City along the west side of Puget
Sound to Olympia.
The next era OF active railroad
building III the state OF Washington
will result in the development of the
Olympic peninsula by Il railroad clear
through and around it. For instance.
railroad must of necessity be built
westward from Port Townsend along
the straits of Fuca, making important
connections both ways at Port Ange-
les, extending from there through the
Olympic mountains into the fertile
valleys along the southwest slope to-
ward the ocean, and thence tapping
the Grays Harbor country and con-
Meeting with the headwaters of the
Sound.
II Olympia proves to be alive to her
opportunities while this is being done
| she will tie to herself an immense
| amount of business for the future, and
will become what nature fitted her for
"a great commercial city. This is
no idle dream, but is conservative
forecast OF what the future will bring
forth. The great body of the Olym-
pic peninsula Is practically endevel-
oped as yet, and all for the want of
transportation facilities. Railroads,
only, will afford these. There are no
harbors worthy of the name on the
ocean north Of Grays Harbor clear to
Cape Flattery. Even if there were
they would be inadequate for the
needs of the interior, where the finest
bodies OF agricultural land and timber
are located. 1t is indeed refreshing to
know that the money situation is be-
coming such that agitation of these
questions may be productive of speedy
and favorable results. Very respect
fully, Allen Weir.
