Don't Worry
About the
Rooster!

You remember the story od
Carlysle, and the rooster thai
crowed in the morning Carlysle
complained and the ownor
promptly suppressed the rooster,
but still Carlysle didn't sleep
1T isn't the noise Of his crowiHs
! that disturbs me now" he said,
'"it is lying awake expecting.
him to crow"
That is what is the nnster
with trade today. The rooster
OF dull times has been sup.
pressed, but some folks are sttK
tmid. They are expecting him
TO crow.

The United States II involved Just
now in a diplomatic snari. which viii
not. 1t may be safely prophesied, lead
to war. This government and several
of the South American republics are
playing game Of cross purposes. and
although each OF. them il presumably
willing to set out OF the tangie they all
find their hands tied.
AZ there II no fear Of . very serious
result. the whole affair IL quite laugh
able, and we are all the more entitled
to make fun Of 1t. because In the end
we will have to yield. When an am
bassador IL received by . friendly
country. II IN presumed that he viii Be-
accredited to 1t In the manner most
acceptable to ii. The South American
republics which are now raising an OBJ
lection do II not In an unfriendly spirit,
but In pursuance OF a plan which IL
would be very unwise to change. The
three republics Of Nicaragua, Honduras
and San Salvador have formed them
selves into what they call the Greater
Republic. and have agreed-in an emf
nentiy proper spirit-to send out and
receive only one minister for the COM
bined republic. The United States has
what is also a very good arrangement
by which the adjoining states Of Mica
ragua and Costa Rica are united in one
mission. and Honduras and Guatemala
In another. Now 1t happens that
Guatemala, which lies to the north,
and Costa Rica, which lies to the
south. ARE both outside of the COM
pact. &c that the minister to each OF
these places cannot be properly ac-
credited to any except one OF the inside
and one of the two extreme states.
That is how congress makes the ap-
preparation. and that is the only way
in which ministers can be sent until
congress makes a change.
Then another little difficulty arises.
II the wishes of the republics are to
be considered. the United States will
have to send one minister to San Sal
yador, Honduras and Nicaragua, which
is an easy matter. but it will either
have to send one each to Guatemala
and Costa RIGA, or have the mission
split by several hundred miles.
Perhaps this little entertainment will
result in the abolition of a few of the
absurd embassies, and the RELOCATION
OF American interests to charge
d'affaires. who could do all that is nee
essary to maintain the dignity Of this
country as well as to protect its inter-
ests at these petty courts.

TEE WAR WHOOPER WHOOPs
AGAIN.

The Victoria Coionist. whose rabid
attitude on all questions In which the
relations OF the United States and
Canada are concerned, must be very
offensive to the intelligent people of
British Columbia, Is stu fiounderins
on the seal question. 1t is In direct
opposition to official opinion on the
subject and evidently opposes any
agreement, not upon the merits. but
solely because the United States has
proposed It.
The Colonist repeats that II said 1T
was Canada that had something to
giye up on the point OF pelagic seal
Ing and not the United States.
This being the case. IL the United
States desires us to abandon pelagic
sealing. congress must be prepared to
offer some compensation" Canada ad-
mits that the sealing regulations ought
20 be revised and a more equitable ar
rangement made in the interest of both
countries. But. according to the Colo
mist, Canada will not right wrong OF
Join In protecting her interests unless
she u conceded something else which
has nothing to do with the question
Sir Louis Davies. minister OF marine
and fisheries. said recently: I'VE
know that - . commercial venture /,
--pelagic sealing--does not pay either
country" Then Canada, according to
tho Coionist. wants compensation for
something that has no value. The
United states Invites Canada TO Join
this country In . plan 10 make that
which does not pay either country be-
come . source Of commercial profit.
hut Canada. still according TO the
Coloniss. insists upon congress offer

Tho b:xoted editor OF the CoIonist,
who halls from a benighted province
OF American rencsades whose only
holiday II devoted to rejoicing over
their departure from the new United
States. and who lives I'm the ansiauatasl
pr~judices OF dead past. Is always
ready to foment ill-will between the
two nations and TO oppose everything
suggested by the United States. His
acrid tone has sought 20 place upon

The very earth Is sliding from under the

Popuiist administration. Confusion stares
fusion In the face. AS Mr.. Weir points
out. the Olympia election was a solar
piexus blow TO the state government. Its
forces were united, It's incentive to win
into play. and yet its easy victory a year
since was turned into sore defeat. Gov.
Rogers knows a hawk from a handsaw,
and can see through a grindstone IL the
hole In 1t Is sufficiently large. What con-
ISOLATION has he to offer his mourning as
sociates in this tear-fetching crisis? II
the governor were not Christian execu-
tive, We might advise him to advise them

Il Is generally agreed that the pension
lists are too large. and frauds are many.
But no congressman OF influence and cour-
age has yet appeared TO expose them. The
old soldiers are just as much Interested as
other citizens In seeing that the govern
ment Is not despoiled. 1t is an insult to
them as class TO say that they desire the
United States to keep on its rolls persons
who are not entitled TO he there. OF course
they do not. Why are not the rolls printed.

ing the too lavish bounty OF Uncle sam?

They are the more helpless because
none carss 70 help them. Their pres
ence In a constant terror TO relatives
and friends, and even when there Ia no
fear Of violence there Is an unspeak-
able horror at the presence OF an "
rational being.
The state has provided hospitals for
those suffering from dernentia which

there Ii no provision for the incurahie

state institutions they accepted pa
tierss whose cure was hopeless. but
the demand upon their resources has
necessifated restrictions
Money cannot procure relief for these
helpless creatures. and the state must
bear :hc burden OF their patient care
Till nature takes back her unwelcome
gift. II is suggested that meantime
King county must make some tempo
rary provision for the custody OF In
curables and that II might make an In
stitution seif-supporting by taking In
patients from other counties This Is
a good idea: no one county could bear
the expense OF proper accommodations
for its own few patients. but one insti-
tuition for q number could be main
tained at per capita cost which would
not be oneroux for those counties. and
would help King county In the mainte-
nance OF her much larger number.
In the end. however. the state must
afford asylum az all other states do for
the mentally afflicted.

THE OLYMPIA CITY ELECTION.



Fusion Forces.
Olympia. Wash. Dec. 9, 1887
To the Editor: The full significance OF
the recen, city election IN Olympia Is bet
ter appreciated in the light OF the fact
that ii was won after the fusionists had
done their level best They first issued a
call for ''nJn-partisan" convention, the
chairman and secretary Of the fusion CEN
trail committee signing the call. Repab-
leans were not consulted. Of course It
was easy TO see through these tactics.
Republicans realized that the purpose was
20 ignore them altogether. When q Re-
publican convention was called by the
central committee Of that party, and it
became evident that straight Republican
ticket would be nominated. the fusion
forces were rallied 10 their utmost. All
the clerks and employees in the state Of
fees who had been brought here from
other counties were marched up TO the city
clerks office and registered. and they all
voted at the election.
The evening before election a fusion
mass meeting was called to ''whoop things
up for their ticket. They nominated a
ticket the personnel of which was the
strcnges; obtainahle. They had all the
prestige. power and influence Of the city
county and state administrations. There
were no side issues to distract The Re-
publfcans invited none but straight Re-
publicans to participate, and nominated
q straight Republican ticket. And then
they went into the campaign without any
fuss or hlare OF trumpets, and without
holding a single public meeting. 1t was a
contest in which straight Republicanism
was pitted against fusion of all other
forces-and the fusion forces were backed
by accessories not usually present. Many
Republicans thought the issue SO one
sided that they gave little attention to the
contest: otherwise their vicory would have
been greater.
AT the counting OF the votes Tuesday
evening Populist state officers, county of
ficers and city officers were on hand to
hurrah over the expected rout Of Repub-
lican forces. By the time the last votes
were counted, however, and 1t was realized
that the fusionists had been licked In six
different languages on the main PROPOSE
ton. they silently folded their tents"
etc., or words to that effect.
All this means that returning sanity
marks the action Of voters, even though
the PopuIist state government has been
in office less than year.
The Republicans of the Capital city send
greeting 10 their friends throughout the
state of Washington. and beg to remind
them that the pace for next year has al
ready been set. ALLEN WEIR,
Chairman Olympia Republican City Com

THE statements made by the Post-Intel-
ligencer's Port Townsend correspondent do
Thomas Vance. the assistant attorney gen.
eral. great injury" said Alex Nj. Winston
last night. Mr.. Winston is the son Of Alter
ney General Winston. and during the lat
ter's absence in Washington has been
pressed into service In the office of the at
torney general at Olympia. In response to
request from Prosecuting Attorney
Fisher, OF Jefferson county. Mr. Winston
and Mr.. Vance went TO Port Townsend at
the beginning of the week to assist in the
conduct Of the prosecution of the Kellar
murder case,
"The insinuation that the assistance of
Mr.. Vance and myself was not desired by
the prosecuting attorney is not justified
by the facts" continued Mr.. Winston.
Both of Us went to Port Townsend at the
special instance and request of Mr.. Fisher.
More than that. under the law the attorney
general and his deputies are empowered
at any time to participate In the conduct
OF criminal cases in this state.
THE trial Of Kellar has degenerated into
farce" said Mr.. Winston In conclusion
over Loo Jurors were summoned. and they
had no; succeeded In getting jury when
l left this morning. The trouble Is that
the warrants issued by the county for
Jurors fees are not worth more than %
cents on the dollar. This. to my mind ex-
plains why nearly half OF the 100 Jurors
were excused because they had conscien-
tious scruples against capital punishment.
l believe that many OF those excused de-
iberately avoided service on the jury be-
cause the warrants are not worth face
value"
