THE Olympiam objects to the Oregon
ian attributing its editorial utterances
to the STANDARD and declares that
this paper is not regarded here as be-
ing in position to speak for the Re-
publican party; that its editor has not
yet been admitted to Republican
counsels. Still the Olympian copies
from the Tacoma News, and gives it a
quasi endorsement, the following
paragraph made up from an editorial
article which appeared in last weeks
STANDARD, which shows that it is not
above receiving instruction even from
one not admitted to its party con-
claves:
The Olympia STANDARD says Nc
Micken's nomination as Surveyor
General is reported to be due to a deal
between Senator Wilson and Maurice
McMicken, of Seattle, the appointee' s
son. 1t is stipulated in the bond that
King county shall be solid for Wilson
when needed in the senatorial contest.
John B. Allen is to be made Federal
Judge in the proposed new district.

HAS "CROssED THE RUBICON."-In
a speech in the U. S. Senate, a few
days ago, Senator Teller throws down
the gauntlet to Republicans in these
unmistakable words:
"The Republican party is in power.
/ attack it upon the ground that it is the
gold standard party. will destroy if |
can. l hope to see it 60 down to defeat
in 1900. and, if living, l pledge myself
to do everything l can to bring it to
grief"
That's the kind OF talk for men con-
trolled by principle. There is moth
ing of the vacillation of the PROBES.
sional demagogue in such a man as
Teller, and it is his kind that should
be called to the front, placed in COM
mand and rewarded with the honors
of conquest.

JUST THE FIELD FOR DETERMINED
LABoR.-A paragraph is going the
rounds stating that the Rev. DR.. III.
NJ. Wharton, pastor of a Baltimore
Baptist church, has given notice of
his intention to resign March |, be-
cause "late experiences have forced
upon me the conclusion that many
who call themselves followers of Christ
and expounders OF the doctrines of the
Divine Model, are entirely devoid of
the spirit of charity and humanity
that sometives signalizcs even people
of the heather nations" Oh We Of
little faith! Would you repose OH n
downy "bed of ease" while the Master
calls? Would you see the brambles
grow in His vineyard without putting
forth hand to destroy the noxious
weeds? Would you look forth upon
the field just ripe for the sickle and
hesitate to do the Masters bidding?
That preacher has surely mistaken his
calling, and we expect next to hear of
him registering kick because an &C.
casional knot is found in the woodpile
he sets out to split.

FREE ELECTRICITY.-The Bell tele-
phone operatives in st. Louis claim
to have made the discovery while test
ing new wires, that with a strand of
copper anybody may avail himself of
the mighty force that propels a street.
car line. 1t can be taken from the
earth, into which it passes from the
rails, and used again for light and
power without the use of special cleo
trical machinery. No dynamos or
converters are necessary. The Gen.
eral Manager of the Bell company
says: "The current from the street
car ground wires remains i'm the earth
and travels underground. We have
demonstrated this beyond a doubt.
From experiments We are certain this
force can be used again. We find
that single wire, with the simplest
kind of o connection, will suffice to
produce light from the earth current"

The Colonel Touched a Button. d"

Col. Owings' rodomontade before
the Chamber of Commerce, last even
ing, regarding the employment of
stereopticon "show" to raise funds
that are absolutely necessary, if the
Chamber expects to accomplish any
good, and which experience has dem
onstrated We have very little hope of
securing in any other way, nobody OBJ
jected to, although it was roast" of
all dramatic performances and a con-
demnation of everything in the way of
amusements. Olympia audiences al
ways expect something funny" from
the Colonel, and they care little wheth-
err the fun comes in from the grotesque
way he presents his subject, or an alb
solute ignorance or total subversion of
facts. The Colonel is always enter
tanning, and his well-known gentleness
of heart covers at all times the brusk
manner which, is never intended to be
so; and a knowledge of this makes
him a privileged character" to do
and say just what he pleases.
But that charitable mantle by no
means fits the shoulders of that NAL
content, who sat on il back seat, and
who, when the Colonel said that Man
ager Murphy's "harlequins" took
much money out OF the town, respond
ed soto vOce That's the stuff" with
an JUNCTION that indicated long-seated
and deep-hearted conviction that there
was huge nugget of truth in the as.
sertion.
Such narrow-minded man, of
course, never thinks. He seldom
thumps his brain more than once in
twenty-four hours. He has, however,
somewhere in the dim past, heard
somebody say that showmen take
money out of the town, and that idea
has ever since been rafting around
like grain OF mustard seed in his
empty skull. Why, bless your soul,
Mr.. Me-Too, the very hat ON your
head, the coat on your back, the shoes
on Your feet, and much of the aliment
that has gone down your throat to
make your blood, bone and tissue, rep
rcsents money that has "gone out of
town" to pay for them, never to re-
turn. Doctors say that tonic for the
mind is just as necessary for that har-
mony OF the mental and physical
structure which insures good health
as food for the body, and agree, to the
fullest extent, with that homely old
adage "All work and no play makes
Jack dull boy"
1t is certainly true that occasionally
first-class company takes few dol
lars out of town, but they likewise
bring money to town-are high livers
and liberal spenders-and sometimes
take away less than they bring. But
were even all to earn reasonable liv-
ing, would it be an injustice to accord
to each a just recompense for affording
community the means for driving
away dull care, and for keeping
abreast of the music and drama of the
day; for strewing some flowers, though
they be of modest worth, along the
rough pathway Of life?
If the back-seat critic had O nly
known that the Colonel was but
sweeping his sensitive nature with a
hand that is familiar with the touch
required to bring a refrain from the
harp OF thousand strings, and that
he smiled like serarh at the evi.
dence OF his potent touch, he would
probably be better able to size up his
own littleness as factor in the farce.

GREY" BROWN CoNFEssEs.-T The
sensational trial of C. o. Brown, in
San Francisco, two years ago, for adul-
terry, or as was stated by his brethren
of the church, conduct unbecoming
a minister" and who so persistently
denied the accusations, and maligncd
the character of the principal wit
nesses, Mrs. Stockton and Miss Over
man, in order to impeach their testi-
mony, now owns up that it was true,
and acknowledges having maintained
guilty relations as charged. But
there is method" observed in max
ing his confession. He sought and
obtained charge of a Chicago church,
Notwithstanding suspension by the Bay
Conference of San Francisco, through
people placing reliance on his minis
terial word. There always appeared
to be lingering doubt of his inno-
cence, however, and this has mani
tested itself SO Enthusiastically as to
make his position bed of thorns. He
calls this the prickings of conscience.
He pleads for forgiveness with pa.
thos that should be effective had he
not supplemented his offense by two
years of the most arrant duplicity. He
says: Brethren, l do not dare to
ask you to forgive me. Possibly l
ought not. might embarrass you by
such request. If you could forgive
me and restore me, my life shall ap-
prove your renewed confidence and at
test my gratitude. 1t may be that
you may find way to make your
mercy as conspicuous as my peni-
tence."

Swan, through his attorney, Mr.. Israel,
contcndcd for, viz: That the term of
office of Marshal of cities of this class
is fixed by the statute of 1893. to begin
on the first Tuesday in January, and
continue one year; that the election
of Mr.. Swan was legal: that he was
entitled to Immediate possession Of
the Office; that the retention of the
office after the first Tuesday in this
January by the defendant was an
usurpation, and that rclator was cnti-
tied to a Judgment ousting the said
defendant Taylor, and placing relator
Swan i'll possession of the Office. The
Clerk is likewise directed to tax up
the costs, amounting to $500, and

This case. although involving the
tenure OF but a minor office, has ex-
excited no little comment among
lawyers, and was deemed Of sufficient
importance to engage the attention of
Deputy State Attorney Vance for the
defense, and he was aided by the City
Attorney, who, when compelled to be
absent during the trial, filed, before
departure, an opinion that was adverse
to all the Honorable Court says is the
