PRAISE FROM SIR HUBERT.

One of the leading Democrats in the
State, brave soldier and an able ex
Congressman, in a personal letter says:
Il heartily approve of the manly
fight you have made and are making
every day, Sunday excepted but |
suppose that even then you do not
forget the rascals in your prayers.
Your paper has done and is doing a
great work for the State; better
than any one or ten men can do and
give their whole time to a canvass.
While it sustains the cause as it
does now. and refuses to bow the
knee to Baa1, / viii give it my sup
port, even if It should assail me-
The commendation and approval OF
such patriots is grateful to an editor in
a day when few so-called Democrats
assail the paper because it exposes vii
lainy among all of the MeKinleyftes
from the highest to the lowest. We are
no respecters Of persons. Every man
who voted for Mckinley IS in large mea.
sure responsible for the scandals that
sickens the people. Those who were
deceived, will find a warm welcome on
their return. Those who are seeking tC
uphold and apologize for McIxinleyisn
will continue 10 find the News and OBJ
server foe that hits above the belt.

Patronage hurts more men than ii
helps. German and Ransom knew how
to use it as helpfully as any Senators
since Van Buren's time. and yet it
could not save them. Old Ben Butler
used to say that every time n President
gives a man a place he makes lone in
CRATE and twenty enemies" Senator
Ransom once said that the man who
was given the place felt piqued be-
cause he thought he ought to have a
bigger one. In New York this week
David Bennett Hill said ''tOo much pat
ronage is sometimes dangerous thing"
And yet every politician feels that he
can make himself strong with it.

Climate in Phoenix.

From letters received in this city, it is
learned that the recent snow storms
have extended as far as Phoenix, A. r.,
something most unusual, and that there
are fears for the orange and almond
crop. The Oldest resident is paralyzed
at the unwonted spectacle, and local
newspaper men have been in doubt as
to whether to state the facts or suppress
the same lest the intelligence should
hurt the town. Phoenix climate in its
normal condition is a good deal on the
Turkish bath order, and comes as near
being a natural sweat box as can well
be imagined. 1t lies in a basin, or dish
like hollow, safe ''from every stormy
wind that blows" as though the place
had been scooped out of a former mesa,
and until the phenomenal development
of local irrigation, its heat was dry and
could with some degree of effort be with
stood. But since canals have been eX-
tended all owe the valley the atmosphere
has been moist, and that moist and dead
heat in the summer time is q killer.
Visitors say that business has to be sus7
pended between 1890 a. m. and $3.50 p.
M, as in Calcutta and Bombay, and in
a companies double on their pre-
miums when Phoenix Is mentioned. And
now for snow to actually fall there, is
what is depriving the entire southwest
of breath.

CHRISTMAS In SANTA FE.
Passed in An Appropriate Manner Many
Private Christmas Trees Business Sus-
pended This Afternoon.

Christmas in Santa Fe, while observ-
ed in an appropriate way, was passed
in a quiet manner. The holiday began
ON Saturday evening and continued
until tonight.
Many families passed Saturday even
ing in neutrality-suspicious. at Christmas
trees, When the little ones We're album
dainty remembered, but to give Il list
of such entertainments is impossible.
On Sunday the different churches held
special services, and the attendance at
the places of worship was unusually

served, either at noon or at 6 o'clock in
the evening, and Christmas cheer vas

packages which were received and sent,
and the end is not yet.
Perhaps the jolliest Christmas that
was passed in the city was at Mrs.
Bush's fashionable boarding house on
Washington avenue, last evening. The
dining room was beautifully decorated
with palms, roses and carnations, and
the tables were dreams of silver, glass,
china and embroidered nappery. In one
corner of the room was a large stand
filled with presents which had been re-
ceived by Mrs. Bush from her boarders
and many friends in the city. The din

there was a Christmas celebration more
thoroughly enjoyed in the whole south
west, later reports will have to be re-

Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1898-05-20

A Little exercise of "Imperial
Mandate" would be an excellent thing
just now to use on State Treasurer
Young, for his failure to muzzle that
swapping, snarling cur in his Office,
who is doing his level best to distract
and disorganize the party which made
it possible for both OF them to draw
comfortable salaries for light work.
While the STANDARD is an advocate
of freedom of thought, and would &C.
cord the widest latitude in its express
sion, it is always understood that COM
mon sense and a proper respect for the
amenities of life must be observed or
render the individual using the loose
jaw liable for results that may follow
a violation of the plain rules of pro-
priety.
