Several object lessons have been pre-
sented for the consideration of ma
tons in the war with Spain. One is
that America can strike swiftly and
strike hard. Another is that spirit of
generosity toward conquered foe
which is as much a tradition here as
the love of freedom. The one lesson
is warning; the other is an example
which will certainly bear fruit in fu-
tUre wars.

Chestnut No. 1.

Following is a clause found in this
years platform of the Ellensburg con-
vention:
We demand adequate protection for
the people of this state against railroad
monopoly by the passage OF just laws
governing freight and passenger rates
and we especially demand a cent per
mile passenger rate and a material re-
duction from the present freight rates.
The above was in the fusion plat
form of 1896. The legislature was
elected on this same pledge. Eighty
six members OF the one hundred and
twelve were pledged to carry out this
proposition as contained in the pop
platform. For sixty days a 3 cent
passenger rate bill was before the leg
islature. Both houses were fusion.

What is a Chubber?

1t is said that when A. j. Blethen
OF the Seattle Times learned that the
popullst Adjutant General Canton had
bet Senator Deckebach $1,000 to $3.50
that the next legislature would be pop
ulist, that redoubtable editor of the
Times exclaimed: "Good, Good"
When the next sentence of the con-
versation told that Canton backed
down and would not make good the
check he had put up Blethen said
"What id chuboer." Blethen
published under flaming headlines a
statement of the making of the bet,
but suppressed the fact of Canton's
backdoyn. The question naturally
arises, what is chubber? Blethen
says Canton is chubber. If Canton
cant make good his bets, he can prob
ably call names with the restsof the
outfit, and be as ready to call Blethen
as id chubber as Canton him.
self is. If Canton and Blethen are
both chubbers is not the riddle solved

and noise. Is it true that chubber

Was a Campaign Question.

The object of protective tariff is,
OF course, to stimulate manufacturing
to supply the home market and to in
crease exports of manufactured goods
to foreign countries. The figures sent
out by the Bureau of Statistics tend
to show that the present tariff has
done all this within the first year of
It's existence. The decreased importa-
tions of manufactured articles show
that our home market must have been
supplied by our own skilled workmen;
and at the same time they have met
foreign demand for manufactured
goods amounting to nearly 300 million
dollars. Some of the Democrats assert
that the present tariff is failure; but
it will be difficult to convince level
headed people that a law that so evil

Germany and Great Britain in their

the drain of gold to foreign countries
and the increase of our national debt
in time of peace under the Cleve-
land administration and the Wilson

fruit, vegetables and other products

Largest Survivor Of the CIVIL War.

Capt ain Richard G. Custard of the
soldiers home at Orting, the largest
living veteran of the civil war, has
been spending few days in Olympia
When seen by an Olympian represen-
tatiye the captain was in com pany
with two of Olympia's citizens who
are not SO small, namely Philip Hiltz
and DR.. Harry Irwin. The aggregate
weight of the three gentlemen, is 9I2
pounds, and their average height is
feet and p inches. The captain, how
ever, is the largest as he tips the beam
at 34S pounds and measures six feet
and three and one half in height.
Phil Skillman states that he never
saw braver nor finer appearing SOL
dier than was Captain Custard, who
Gen. Reynolds complimented by g n
eral order which was issued in recogni-
tion of his gallant service on the field
and read before forty thousand men.
At the age of sixty-eight the captain
has ruddy face and does not appear
to be over fifty-fve. Captain Custard
served from the beginning until the
close of the war and his honorable dis
charge bears the signature of the
martyred Lincoln.
The captain is looking after the
welfare of his comrades of the soldiers
home and while in the. city secured
donations of considerable fruit which
is going to waste here. He expects to
return about the Goth with some of
the other veterans and pick the donat-
ed fruit which he says will be great
treat for the old soldiers. At the pres
ent time there are 1873 inmates at the
bome.-Olympian.
