To preserve cut blossoms of hard
wood trees or shrubs, such as lilac
laburnum, apple blossoms, roses or
hydrangeas, the stalks should be
stripped of the bark a good way up at
the ends, so that they can suck up the
water, and the water in which they are
placed should be warm.

Wilson Turned Down.

The old saying that The best-laid
schemes of mice and men oft gang
aglcc," is verified by the result of the
Republican primaries held at Port
, Townsend, Saturday night, in which
the Wilson forces, martialed by &" Cor
! Hcustis, Collector OF Customs, L. s.
Attorney Day, Postmaster Learned,
and other otfice-holdcrs and official as
pirants, suffered an wlclming de-
feat. 1t seems that the lcavcn of dis
cord was knceded into the batch by
/ the little watcl-charm Senator him
self, in his failure, on recent visit, to
recognize or consult with anybody
( but the Federal office-h holding crew.
Some very influential men were ig-
nored, among whom were such prom
incnt Republicans aS Capt. Libby and
Representative Cyrus +. Clapp. When,
therefore, Attorney Day made Il pill
grimage to Port Townsend, to induce
the latter gentleman to declare him
self uncquivocally for Wilson as his
own successor, should the ring approve
Clapp's candidacy for the upper branch
of the State Legislature from the dis
trlct Of Jefferson and Clallam, the
boom burst. The promise was not
given, and ever since then the issue,
like Jacks beanstalk, has grown, until
at the time of holding the primaries, it
had attained prodigious size, and when
the vote was taken, the custon-house
candidate for State Senator, who had
been cooked and primed for ring ser
vice, was incontincntly showed under
10y the followers of Libby and Clapp.
This Is the most signal defeat vet
scored against the Wilson movement.
The custom-house force embraces over
so men, and it is said that promises of
official favor were freely made for sup
port. Added to this WAS the post
office pull" and the Judicial influence
all the way from Seattle. But it was
downcd by the sturdy labors of two de-
tcrmincd leaders, who, in this instance

Its Mammoth Proportions.

The pcn>ion-li>t Of the civil war
fought more than Il generation ago, Is
larger than it ever has been before
and it now embraces considerably
over Il million names. The report 81
Commissioner Evans shows that more
pensions were granted last year than
during any year from 1869 to $50

! another pension roll was begun. and il

healthy rs his ncighbor in all respects
and asks to bc enrolled in Il pririlcged
class for life and even pcrchancc en-
| able an unborn generation to become
official dependents upon the govern
mcnt, it is indeed time to call halt
and unSparingly condemn any party
which so far sacrifices its dignity and
Scli-respcct as to make Il noble senti-
mcnt the means of institutiny and
perpetrating the most glaring frauds,
as an aid to selfish ambition.
At this time, when q new roll OF
honor is to be formed, every safeguard
should be thrown around the act to
prevent it from becoming Il register of
mendicancy. 1t is as much due to
the true soldier as it is to the people
upon whose shoulders IL constant and
heavy burden is placed by misapprop-
ration of money to the leeches which,
with the tcn-eyed vision peculiar to
the cotyloid worm, discovers the exact
spot, under our over-indulgent laws,
where an incision may be made for Il
perpetual gorge.
A proposition made in Congress
lately to purge TIE list by publishing
the names of the civil war pensioners,
for tie mere purpose of aifording each
community an opportunity for judy
ing of the merits of the awards made,
met with 4 most savage and vindictive
howl from pensioners and their at
tOrneys who had opened the way for
unmeritorious claims. Is it possible
that the proceedings of such gi-
gantic adjunct OF our government can
not stand the rays of Gods sunlight?
Are we to infer that the sensibilitics
of the aged veteran would be shocked
by the publication of his name in the
roll Of honor, to protect it from con-
tamination by association with fraud?
Oh, no. 1t is but the cry of "stop
thief" that went up when the PROPOSE
ton was made to turn on the light.

THE NEW CREAMERY.

Mr.. Maynard, Manager of the
Capital City Creamery, has placed
upon the market its first "batch" of
butter, and it is q gilt-edged article.
All that is now required is for our
farmers and dairymen to supply the
milk or cream and the enterprise will
begin pulling in money from abroad
to stay and help make good cheer.
Mr.. Maynard has issued the follow
ing statement to those who must do
their part to make the project sue
cess:
To the people of the communities
adjacent to Olympia:
There is no need of me announcing
that creamery is here; but will Jump

The skim milk contains the bone

vided the fat is sold right from one to

natural facts, not theories. When the
butter is made on the farm one is apt
to be careless regarding cleanliness

product. When taken to properly

Ring Methods.

Quite breeze sprang up IN the Re-
publican caucus of the First ward,
Wednesday night, when the Federal
clique appeared with their satellites to
put through cut-and-dried pro-
grammc without the slightest regard
for the feelings of very respectable
minority. Mr.. Cavanaugh was elected
Chairman with all the precision, celer-
ity and confidence which numbers in
spire, and "Charley" Dial was placed
on the mourner's bench to purify him
for readmission to the 6. o. p. by select
ing him for Secretary. Then that sly
A. p. A. rat, Reverend J. s. McCallum,
who is invariably paraded to give pro-
ceedings sanctimonious cast by the
ofiice-holding crew, stepped forward
before the echo OF the chairman's voice
in announcing the order of business
had died away, and read from a scar
and yellow slip the names of twelve
men to place on the ward ticket for
election as delegates to the county
convention. Col. Owings objected to
this palpable attempt to forestall, by
fnesse, a free expressions by the voters
present. He wanted simply fair play.
He had no Ak to grind nor ambition
to promote. He simply thought the
precipitate haste manifested was irreg-
ular and in bad taste. He wanted q
motion made and carried TO proceed
to nominate ward ticket. The chair
refused to entertain the proposition
for formal vote, and the Wilson
clique then proceeded to complete
their work acc riding to programme.
The Reverend McCallum was rewarded
for his zeal as fugleman by being
made judge of the ward election, and
to carry out the scriptural simile of
the returning prodigal, Charley" Dial
was made Clerk of said election.

IT seems probable that Mrs. Botkin
may escape trial for alleged poisoning
OF two women in Delaware, by means
of a candy package through the mails.
Her lawyers maintain that extradition
can only apply to fugi,ives from JUS

a man might stand just across a State
line and kill an inhabitant of another
State, and escape punishment long as

Is Poetic Feeling WaningP


DR.. Graves who spoke before the
institute this week on "The Inspiring
Power of Poetry" is reported by q
contemporary to have said:
In this practical age poetry is de.
spised. 1t is regarded as only fit for sen.
timental youths and lovesick maidens."
To ascertain just how far this state.
ment is true it is necessary to define
what true poetry" is, or rather what
it is not. Jingle is sometimes mis-
taken for it, and synchronistic ad-
justment of feet, in which the trochee,
iambus, anapast and dactyl flow with
regular recurrence is very often &C
cepted as the genuine article. These
are, however, but the Communications
of poetry, and lear about the same
relation to the true poetry as the
fr0sting does to the cake, or the gid
ed frame to the masterpiece of art.
An absolute requisite of poetry is no.
bility of thought, and when the
theme is lofty beauty of expression
very naturally follows.
To assume that in this practical"
age poetry is despiscd," with all due
Difference to the learned doctor, be it
said, is going too far. Nor is the
fiotsam cast to the waves by "senti-
mental youths or love-sick maidens,"
worthy of the name of poetry. 1t is,
OF course, as impossible to estimate
the degree of alleged decadence of
poetic feeling as it would be to weigh
sunbeam, but five are to Judge from
the sale of books and the use made of
standard works in our public libraries,
AS reported by their custodians, it is
safe to say that the present generation
is fully up to any former age in rever-
ence for all that is aesthetic in poetry.
