often claimed that Republicans take to

ping milk, and that as a natural Sc.
quence few die and none resign after
admission to fat stall at the public
crib. But we have been mistaken, oil
their nature has undergone radical
change; for we now find not one, but
three instances disproving this hith-
ertO well established characteristics. II
will be remembered that Chas. b. Hop.
kins set this example of self-abnegation
by resigning the Office of Postmaster
at Spokane. That did not create much
surprise, however, for Charley is ar
odd genius to begin with and had his
hands full in attending to his private
interests. Now comes Oliver Hall
who refuses to accept the postoffice al
Colfax, which pays $1,000 year, and
ID. L. Ham, of Latah, with q declina

WORDS THAT MIsLEAD.-The Uyn,-
plan says it was unfair to Olympia"
that Mahara's minstrels-came by spe-
cial boat and left the same way, with
out leaving as much as "the price of a
bed" in town. The fact is-and Oily
knew it-that the company missed
the morning train at Tacoma and went
to the extra expense of chartering n
special steamer only as an alternative
for keeping their contract. While it
may be true that the company did not
leave "the price of bed" in town, it
left the price of quite a number of
meals, and the cost of some other
creature comforts while here. They
certainly left more money here than
they took away, and probably would not
have played more than "even" had the
company arrived OH time, as the per-
Torrance occurred on Good Friday
when many theater goers are giving
their chief attention to sacred obliga-
tons. Oly's eaptiousness is, however,
easily explained, and is the result OF
another Failure to connect" from a
multiplicity of duties occurring on the
"busy day" of the week.

IT matters not if other Congressman
be in doubt as to the proper course to
pursue in the present trying ordeal for
our nation, ours will certainly be re.
lieved OF much perturbation by the
sage counsels wired them by several of
the faithful in the State building, this
week. The instructions, as reported by
Oily, are the assurance that "Our peo-
pile urge the recognition of the Cuban
Republic: no recognition, no interven-
ton. Stand by Democratic resolution
against bondholders' intervention"
Whether any of our Congressman
needed stitfening of the backbone, or
not, is immaterial, although the send.
ing of this dispatch would seem to inn
ply such necessity. Anyway, as Peck's
bad boy would say, under like circum-
stances, "That settles it," When the
commonwealth speaks, its servants
must obey.

The disaster at Chilcont pass, to
which our correspondent McRcynolds
incidentally refers, was of much
greater magnitude than WAS supposed
at his date of writing, the Sd inst. Ac-
counts from Sheep Camp, two days
later, give some account of the origin
Of the casualty by which certainly 81
lives were sacrificed, with Il prospect
that the number will he increased, as
the track is cleared and the victims are
brought to light
The great slide occurred on Sunday,
the Sd inst. For three days previous
to that event, n raging snow storm
had prevailed between Sheep Camp
and the summit, and 10y Sunday mcrn-
ing several feet OF fresh snow had fallen
on the heavily-incrustcd mountain
side, leaving those who had encampcd
on the trail in imminent but unsus-
pccted danger. From 80 to 300 were
known to be encamped within the
track OF the avalanche.
Sunday morning a small slide came
down from the mountain crushing
several tents. This caused some anx-
iety and it was resolved to abandon
the camps along the treacherous path
way. A correspondent thus graphi-
cally describes the scene:
a hundred or more people grasped the
lifeline and began the decent, but
scarcely had the string of struggling
humanity reached the center of the
largest hill between the Stone House
and the Scales when without warning
sound the mountain of new fallen snow
came down, completely swallowing
them up. A few on the upper end OF
the line escaped the white, cruel shroud
of death and gave the alarm as soon as
possible. But a binding snow storm be.
ing in progress it took some time to
reach Sheep Camp. When the place
was notified, however, an army of 800
men with shovels faced the storm and
hurried to the rescue. BY 3 o'clock
some had been recovered alive and by
night time seventeen dead bodies had
been taken out. Yesterday the work
was resumed and the days work
brought forth nineteen more who had
lost their lives in the effort to reach the
land of gold.
The steamer Cottage City, which ar
rived from Juneau on the 1lth brings
advices to the 7th. 1t says that 81
bodies had been recovered and 100 per-
sons were known to be missing. The
killed number ii from Seattle, 6 from
Tacoma, 6 from Portland, 5 from San
Francisco, and the remainder from
destinations mostly east of the Rocky
mountains.

Moody CoNvICTED.-Thec case of L.
f. Moody, commonly known as "Doc'
Moody, terminated at Montesano, this
week, in the conviction of defendant
OF murder in the second degree and
his sentence to twenty years of hard
labor in the State penitentiary. He
was indicted for the killing of E. Nav
Benn, at Elma, July 81, 1896, a daugh.
ter OF J. 3. Forbes, OF Kamilche. The
prosecution was conducted by r. L.
Abel, the Prosecuting Attorney of that
district, assisted by George Israel, OF
this city; the defense by George B.
Scofeld. The ground of defense was
insanity, and it was shown that de-
PENDANT was at times subject to cratic
impulses, which doubtless mitigated
the degree of punishment from that
which would have followed conviction
i'll accordance with the Indictment.

lT is matter of surprise that the edi-
tor of the STANDARD, who is also mana
ger of Olympia Theater, should rebuke
Frederick Warde, the great actor, for
the rebuke he administered last Satur-
day evening from the stage to the gallery
gods who would not keep still while the
performance was in progress.-Olympidn.
The " SURPRISE" be it said, is all on
Oly's part. A rebuke is in order when
ever deserved, and the STANDARD has
the fairness to express its opinion of
the mighty just as it does of the weak
of the exalted as 1t does of those who
have never succeeded in climbing
many of the rounds of life's step lad
der. Notwithstanding our contempor.
airy says that the noise in the gallery
was "prOnounced," we find many pres
sent on that occasion who say they
failed to hear it.
Now one word for the special en-
lightenment of the editor of the Olyn,-
plan. Had he possessed even a 1.-THE
OF the experience of the writer, on dra-
matte matters, he would know that
many eminent actors are just as
cranky as leading men in other voca-
tions of life. Some delight in posing
i'll one attitude and some in another.
Mr.. Warde, while splendid actor and
genial gentleman, is one of these, and
little Oily didn't drop ON the fact that
the interruption in "Virginius" may
have been the finessc of artistic side.
play, which, like the discord in music,
is introduced only by experts to to at
tune the ear fuller appreciation of
the grand harmony to follow.
Nor is it it true that the "noisc in
the gallery" is peculiar to Olympia
Theater, rs one would infer from the
Oympian's comments. 1t is the same
at the Baldwin, in San Francisco, at
the Marquam, in Portland, and in the
Seattle and Tacoma theaters. It is
the same in leading theaters in New
York and Chicago. In fact the
treadmill STEP" which prevails in the
gallery of nearly every theater in the
land, has seldom been heard here and
the gallery gods are as well-behaved
here as anywhere else.

Turning to the question of recog-
nizing at this time the independence
of the present insurgent government
in Cuba, we find safe precedents in our
history from an early day. They are
we'll summed up. In President Jack
sons message to congress, December
q, 1886, on the subject of recognition
of the independence of Texas, he said ::
"In all the contests that have arisen
out of the revolution of France. out of
the disputes relating to Portugal and
Spain, out of the separation of the Ameri-
can possessions of both from the Euro
pean governments and numerous and
constantly occurring struggles for do
miniOn in Spanish-America. 30 wisely
consistent with just principles has been
the action of our government that we
have. under the most critical conditions,
avoided all censure. and no other evil
has arisen than that produced by a
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1898-04-15

In my annual message in December
last. speaking on this question, I said !:
The near future will demonstrate
whether the Indispensable condition of a

our interests. so intimately involved in
the welfare of Cuba, is likely to be at
tanned: II not, the exigency of further

undisputable right and duty; it will be
faced without misgivingor hesitancy in

INTERVENTION A NECESSITY.

INTERVENTION NECESSITY.
There remains the alternative forms
of Intervention to end the war, either
by impartial neutrality, by imposing n
rational compromise between the con-
testants, or as the active ally of one
party or the other. As to the present
case, it is not to be forgotten that dur
ing the last few months the relation
of the United States has virtually
been one of friendly intervention in
many ways, each not of itself conclusive
but all tending to the exertion of a
potential influence towards an ultimate
pacific result, just and honest to all
interests concerned. The spirit of all
our acts hitherto has been an earnest,
unselfish desire for peace and prosperity
in Cuba, untarnished by differences
between the United States and Spain.
and unstained by the blood of Ameri.
can citizens. The forcible interven-
ton Of the United States as a neutral
power to stop the war according to the
dictates of humanity and by the fol-
lowing historical presidents where
there has been interference to check
the hopeless sacrifice of life by inter.
nal conflicts beyond a country's
borders, is justifiable on national
