Is This Reform?

What has John II. Rogers done for
Thurston county that would merit the
approval or endorsement of the De.
mocracy or any citizen of the county?
His ante-clection promises made to us
were taken in good faith, and the re-
suit was We gave him our hearty sup
port. His promises to us were broken,
but faithfully kept to the "Capital
Syndicate" of which, q am credi-
bly, informed he is member. Does
any good citizen approve of the way
he arbitrarily dismissed the original
Board of Audit and Control and filled
their places with-what? Let us see.
There is the Chief Boodler of the SEN
atorlal contest, who cried in holy
horror "Blackmail," when he was
called upon to pay some of his Doodle
obligations; the aesthetic fake doctor
of Oscar Wildeian proclivities the
West Virginia politician who stands
self-convicted of the crime of robbing
orphans of their inheritance while
acting as their guardian, and who,
when n candidate for Governor, we gave
the grandest ovation ever given any
one in our county. He had an oppor-
tunity then to vindicate himself, and
he did so by virtually pleading
guilty. And this gang of political per-
verts are the confidential advisers OF
the Reform Governor, who asks an en-.
dorsement at the hands of a reform
party. Can we do it? What State
officer is there who is willing to divide
honors with his accidency for the wise
and economical administration of his
department. The fact that we have a
wise and economical administration
of the officers of the State and county
is apparent to all who have investigat-
ed them, and this state of facts exists
in spite of John r. Rogers. Let us so
express ourselves on this subject that
our friends, the enemy, may know
that reform is not misnomer.

Chinese DO Everything Backward.

Men wear skirts, the women trousers.
Men wear their hair long, women
wear it short.
Men carry on dressmaking, women
carry burdens.
The Chinese compass points to the
south instead of the north.
The Chinese begin their dinner with
desert and end with soup and fish.
Books are read backward. Foot
notes are inserted on top OF the page.
The spoken language is not written,
and the written language is not spoken.
In China the hands OF the clock are
immovable; it is the dial that re-
wolves.
The Chinese launch their vessels
sideways and mount their horses from
the off side.
The Chinese dress is white at funer-
ais and in mourning at weddings,
while old women always serve as
bridesmaids.

The Olympian says that Register
Deckabaugh went to Tacoma, Wednes-
day, to confer with Senator Wilson
and Commissioner Herman regarding
the forestry reserve. While the meet
ing reminds one in some respects of the
noted interview of Mahomet and the
mountain, the object OF the same was
unquestionably quite different from
that OF the devout pilgrimage as we'll
rs from a version of the interview given
by Oily, which relates to forestry. The
time of the conference is said to have
been devoted almost entirely to re-
pairing the tenas Senator's political
fences, which are in exceedingly bad
condition. Isn't it nice though to
have an organ to sound diapason notes
at the proper time to drown the horri-
BILE discord in the treble clef? Nobody
will dispute their right to use it, how.
ever, long as they pay for the "wind."

AN expression of opinion was lately
taken in the First ward, at Puyallup,
to ascertain the truth or falsity OF the
assertion of opponents to women's en-
reimbursement that Women don't
want to vote" The poll stood, with
the exception of about dozen who
were absent, as follows: In favor,
40; opposed, 10; Indifferent, unde-
cided and doubtful, 26-nearly three
to one decidedly in favor, with the
undecided column to draw from for
possible augmentation of the advo-
Gates of equality in political rights.

The OdiOus Game Law.
YELM, Wash, Aug. 90, 1898.

Elm, w ASH, Aug. y, 1870.
ED. STANDARD:
Your remarks in last STANDARD, en-
titled "God Help the Birds" hits the
nail every time you strike. II you re-
member, | denounced that game law
as the most infamous bill that had
been introduced in the House and
fought it to the last ditch. / told
them that if they wanted law for
the destruction of game, they couldn't
have devised better scheme; that
the farmers were compelled under it's
provisions to preserve the game ten
months in the year for the benefit of
the Rod and Gun Club. If you will
take the trouble to look in the House
Journal, page 40l, you will see for the
bill "a ayes and % noes. We had
quite Il fight over the bill and Me-
Afee, think, holds slight grudge
against me yet for opposing the bill
The passage of the game law and the
wrangling over the U. S. Senator is all
| blamed the Peoples party for. We
should have had better railroad legis-
lation, but the People party was not to
blame for that, for every Republican
in the House but one Uibby) voted
against the slightest reduction in
freights, while every fusionist but
three voted for reduction (See p. $50
80 House JOurnaD. AS for reduction
in passenger rates, only two Republic
cans in the House voted for it and
every fusiOnist voted for it but three,
see House Journal, p. CIT.
Ii Mr.. Dial will carefully read the
record of the last Legislature, l think
he will be constrained to flop again.
He and Bulger, of Tacoma are the
only floppers have heard Of, but |
think we can spare 'em.
But say, isn't Lewis Il corker? That
man would lead the House another
term, Tom Reed to the contrary not
withstanding.
Yours respectfully,
J. G.. Cog.

The California Democracy.

James G. Mcclure, of San Fran.
cisco, has been nominated by the De-
mocracy of California for Governor,
with a strong ticket of representative
men for the other State officers. The
platform on which the race is to be
made reafiirms allegiance to the ma
tional platform adopted at Chicago,
and specifically declare, adherence to
the leading issue of " free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver at ratio of 16
to l, without waiting for the consent
Of any other nation" The position of
the party on the settlement of war is
sues is embodied in the following
planks:
We favor the fullest investigation of all
conditions existing In the Philippine Is
lands affecting the interests and obliga.
tons of our country In the matter Of their
future treatment and disposition, TO the
end that final action in relation thereto
shall be intelligent and based upon full
knowledge OF all facts that that can al.
feet the interests OF the United States.
While we do not faver an aggressive
policy OF territorial expansion. we are op-
posed to the surrender to Spain any of the
territory that has been acquired by Amer
lean valor and the expenditure of blood
and treasure of our people. And we do
not favor the surrender to Spanish do
miniOn of the people Of any of the Span
ish colonies who c0-operated with our
forces against our enemy in the late war.

David and His Sling.

The Republicans seem To- think that
the War Department did a very I'M
Wi-c thing in sending Representative
Lewis To the front to investigate
the charge ii mal!ra>ancc Of those
charged with care of the troops and
their supplies. 1t seems that another
surprise j. in store for them that he
las shown himself as competent in
iclrcting ont the miSlccdS OF crafty
contractors and di>solutc politicians
IL he has in expanding the true
principles of government in the ma
;iunal halls OF legislation. 1t will be
through him, ii President Mckinley
has the backbone L. Sustain him, that

>h1r" .: ccn>urc for incompctcncy
!" dcalin: with important matters, al
fcctng the lives of the soldiers, which
led to the rapid spread OF disease and
loss OF life. Those high in authority
dare not evade the issue rs it has been
presented by the doughty little champ
ion for right.
His report has stirred up quite as
much of sensation as the arrai gu
mcnt of the trusts in the House, and
when he made the charge that GER
tain members OF the 6. o. p. were
diligently feathering their nests, from
furnishing yachts at many times their
value, to supplying shoes for the SOL
diers at higher rate than the same
articles sold for at retail. Republican
Congressman Indignantly demanded
the proof. Therein they made the
mistake OF their lives, for it afforded
MIR. Lewis the opportunity for bring
ing to light many dishonest tranSac-
tlons. He likewise traced many in
stances of favoritism shown to thei r
logical cause, and finds that the
charges OF corruption made when the
electoral count was figured up had q
solid foundation, which subsequent
facts have unearthed.
Mr.. Lewis last week received his
discharge from the army, sick and
emaciated by the hard work he has
done in the cause ofjustice and human
ity. He will Immediately come West,
and he expects soon to regain robust
health when he breathes the balmy,
bracing air of his adopted State.

The Governor sustains very pleasant
and cordial relations with all the heads
of the departments of the State govern
ment.--1ne Fusion Manifesto.
That statement is absolutely and un-
qualifiedly untrue, for the writer has
heard from no source more bitter de-
nunciation or vigorous invective than
has fallen from the lips of certain State
officers, whose administrations have
been successful in spite of, instead of
by aid of, the executive.

In commenting on the idleness at
Dawson City, the Seattle Times very
complacently remarks:
Many miners at Dawson had rather
lay idle than pay taxes to the Canadian
authorities while doing summer work on
their claims"
Now we have heard of men who as
choice of evils-work or starve-have
consented to lay brick and stone, but
for anybody to lay idle is surely a new
kind of handicraft.

THE express companies tried to get
rid of paying stamp duty on receipts
for money placed with them for trans
mission, under the plea that money is
not goods. The Treasury Department
has decided, however, that money is
goods, to all intents and purposes,
when placed in possession of COM
mon carrier for transportation.

WHAT may be fairly regarded as
the largest flag ever unfurled in this
country, was flung to the breeze, Satur-
day between the mountains east of Ty-
rome, Pa, at height of $50 feet above
the waters of Junata river. The flag,
which is made of navy bunting, is GO
feet wide and 100 feet long, and it is
suspended from a wire cable, half an
inch thick and 3, 200 feet in length.
The flag-raising was made the object
of grand civic demonstration.

Trouble in the Camp.

There is strife and contention in the
ranks OF the local branch OF the 9. o.
y. The Federal officials, or at least
the iuglemcn Of that disintcrcstcd band
III patriotS-Register Scobev, Receiver
Deckabaugh and Postmaster Cavan-
augh-baye held several meetings OF
late. $50 it is sad) to make q county
" slate" or at least to "cut and dry" a
programme that would give them the
whip hand in trotting out candidate
for the Legislature who can he held in
the traces to help haul the Senatorial
chariot OF their little god Wilson, and
their deliberations have been marked
lay the utmost harmony-so far at
least ~ they" wc-the-commonwealth"
fellows, were concerned. They have
selected Gt is Said) lamb for the sac
rliice and it is (bcg pardon, he is) A. J.
Falknor. The triumyirate are by no
means confident OF results, however, or
happy in their choice This perturba-
ton is caused by the temper of the
people. 1t is not quiescent as of Old,
or yielding like it once was under diff
ferent leadership. When the rank
and file are sounded as to approval OF
secret choice of the clique, they use
cxpletiyes that CRATE harshly on the
ear, accompanied by gestures that are
more likely to stir up confusion than
to promote confidence, to create and
widen breach than to draw together
and unite in the indissoluble bonds of
love. We hear such uncouth express
sions as, "Oh pshaww Thunder and
lightning" and What are you giving
us ~ and kindred expressions. Then
they ask troublesome questions, as to
what interest Mr.. Faulkner may have
as 4 property owner or taxpayer in our
well-belng as county; why the little
plums OF divers kinds in falling always
gravitate in the same direction, and
what are Mr.. F.'s qualifications in
statccraft anyhow? The little clique
are ready to answer that he will do
their bidding, but that does not satisfy
the average citizen, whose interests
are to be subserved by legislation, and
who wants a representative who will
do something more than cast vote
for Wilson. If the work is to he done
by proxy, they want to know it, and
some of them Git is said) have ex-
pressed preference to set up some
body who will not be held in leading
strings. So the strife goes on, and
there is prospect of a royal battle
when the primaries are held next Mon
day. Several popular members of the
party have been suggested as COM
promise, ESQ it is said) among whom
are DR.. Ingham and Geo. E. Filley,
but the triumvirate Git is said) will
have none of it. And so the strife
goes on, and on, and the breach Wild
ems.
The STANDARD, ever intent upon its
mission of peace, would suggest that
Senatorial aspirations be set aside and
some good fair representative of the
interests of Thurston county be Sc
lected to run the "forlorn hope" of
election. Should lightning strike, let
it pass to the rod of somebody who
will recognize the rights of the people
rather than of one to obey the orders of
the office-holding clique.

GREAT CAESAR, how harmonious"
the Republicans are! They pulled
down Weir to promote harmony and
set up Falknor to perpetuate it. 1t is
the harmony, however, which one
may imagine exists in hell when
Satan gives the grate-bars an extra
shake.

IT is said that DR.. Calhoun has
drifted back to the Repu blicens, and
what puzzles us to see is just how the
Republican newspapers will take back
the hard things they said about him
when he exposed the 6. o. p.'s attempt
at bribery in the last Senatorial con-
test.

TRAGIC END OF THE PRIZE FIGHTER's
PARENTs.-Patrick J. Corbett, the
father of the noted prize-fighter, killed
his wife and himself, at their San
Francisco home, last Tuesday. Two
pistol shots ended their lives. The
couple had lived together amicably
for half century, they were in
comfortable circumstances financially,
and there seems to have been absolute
ly no motive for commission of the
horrible deed. A New York dispatch
says that James ]. Corbett is broken
down by the sad news, and that his
manager Considine has issued orders
to give up the forfeit of $4,000 for the
proposed fight with Mccoy unless the
latter will agree to a postponement.

ID. I KENNEDY who was arrested recent.
ly on a warrant sworn to by q. +. Kaler
charging him with violating the bicycle
ordinance against fast riding CD the side.
walks was Tuesday fined five dollars and
costs by Justice q. ID. King. 1t appears
that bad feeling..existed between Kennedy
and kaler, which Mr.. Kennedy believes
led to his being made the victim of the
ordinance. The case was stubbornly
fought by the defendant. who proposes
to take an appeal. 1t is believed that the
defendant did not intend to violate the
ordinance.-Oiympian.
Certainly, Oily, that is the charitable
view to take of the matter, and it
does infinite credit to your sweet,
amiable nature for you to express it,
but then, you have doubtless heard
that the bad place is paved with the
good intentions which were rejected as
cobble-stones in the New Jerusalem.

housetops, apparently in defiance of
the determination that American rule
is supreme pending adjustment Of war
issues. This caused a retaliatory feel
ing to spring up among the troops,
and the Cubans have appealed TO Gen.
Wood for protection, apparently ignor-
ing the fact that the hostility dis
played sprang from their own ill-ad
vised acts.
On Tuesday, the 18th inst, at pre-
cisely eight minutes to high noon, the
Hawaiian flag that floated over the
government buildings at Honolulu
came down never more to float over
the Sandwich Islands, to the strains OF
" Hawaii Ponoi," the national anthem,
and Mt just three minutes to IL the
American flag gracefully rose to the
masthead to the glorious notes of
"Star Spangled Banner" The first
act OF the scene was accompanied by
the emotion of many who had served
under the island colors, and the second
by the utmost exhibitions of enthusi-
asm. A salute of twenty-one guns
was fired by the Hawaiian battery
and the U. S. warship Philadelphia.
A proclamation was then read stating
that President Mckinley had directed
that the civil, judicial and military
powers of the government shall con-
tinue to be exercised by the officers of
the republic of Hawaii until further
provision is made.
