Totes in q Totem Pole.

Oly does not often affect a vein of
satire, and when he does his effort is
notable, mainly, for its grotcsque
humor. 1t will he remembered that
our contemporary. from some reason
or another, was influenced To express
an unbiased opinion that the cruiser
Olympia tablet was rare work OF art,
an opinion so manifestly at variance
with public judgment that it was at
once placed upon the grill and broled
to turn. Unfortunately for the
STANDARD, it was called upon to sup
ply the caloric to do the basting; I'M
fortunately We say, for ever since, our
little neighhor has been whetting his
tomahawk while waiting an oppor-
tunity to "gct even"
In the erection OF a totem pole at
Seattle, few days ago, he saw what
he conceived to be an opportunity to
strike back. But he does not ap-
proach the task in the spirit OF mag
nanimity which has characterized our
work. The STANDARDS weapons we're
always whctted in OIL" made clean
cut and did not leave the serratcd
cash inflicted by the foe in his Jagged
attempts at humor. 1t will be re-
membered that we gave him credit for
higher organism than the common
herd, an aesthetic taste which enabled
him to see at once the noble and ex-
allied conception of the artist sculptor ::
claiming for the woolly-west critics of
the "Victory" only such crude I'M
pressions as Nature prompted. We
did not insist that Nature might not
have erred in her task of enlightment,
nor that she might not in some cases
have failed in obtaining a full, free and
ineligible exponent in "The man with
the hoe" or the ak, or the saw; but We
did state some OF the popular excep-
tions, to stand or fall on merit alone,
and they seem to have been strong
enough to have produced unusual
concern and the most determined OPP
position of would-be savants who live
with their heads in the clouds. In
fact the position of the back-woods
critics seems to have been so we'll sus-
tanned that the artists friends had to
change the personality of "Victory"
to Fame" to meet more fully some
of the primary qualifications for the
character that the figure on the tab
let was intended to personify.
1t is to tony critics, who sometimes
know about as much of harmony as of
hydrostatics, or OF expression as of ety.
mology, that little Oily delights to
bow, and cringe, and creep, and we
are not surprised that he should, in
his impotent rage, set up totem
pole as an object for mutual conten-
ton. We must decline the challenge,
however, and admonish him that pat.
ent editorials are better reading for
his columns than any controversy in
fiuenced largely by HaigM.

The Beers as Fighters.

The Boer of the Transvaal is an ex-
ceptionally good fighter, as will be OBJ
served in the skirmishes ut the outset
of the present conflict with the Eng
lish troops. He carries his rifle on his
shoulder and is ready, at a moments
notice, to join the ranks, and he does
not have very great distance to travel
in finding the front wherever it may
be. A prospect of using his rifle is
said to cast gleam into the ordinarily
dull eye of the Boer, whether it be
trained on duck, or human being,
and this CLINT is intensified by the
knowledge that the present call is
against a lifelong and relentless foe.
When the Boer shoots in battle, it
is with the understanding that the
officers are to be picked off first, if pos
sible, and when he aims at British
officer it is with all the deliberation
and method OF the sportsman after
wild game. He first examines him
carefully and confirms his impression
that he is an officer; he then picks
out some particular button, or con-
spicuous part of the uniform for bis
target. This is said to be partly from
force Of habit, as he would select the
white breast OF duck for ready aim,
and it must be admitted that such de-
liberation indicates possession OF the
requisite nerve to make the marks.
manship effective. The officer in
charge of the firing platoon generally
selects half dozen OF the best sharp.
shooters available to fire simultan.
eously at the officer in command of
the opposing force, and under such
circumstances, it is indeed we'll if the
invading officer has made his peace
with heaven.
The accounts SO far may be vague in
some respects, but that this system is
in operation is plain from the dispro.
portionate loss of British officers.

The OR-GENERALSHIP.-P
ident Mckinley, Saturday, appointed
Edward P. Kingsbury, of Lewis
county, Surveyor General of this
State, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death OF Capt. McMicken. Mr.. X.
is a native of Hollister, Massachu-
sets, aged A years, a. graduate of
Harvard. He taught school in his
native State five years, served as clerk
in the pension Office at Washington
one year, and then engaged in the
real estate and insurance business at
HOLSTER till 1889, when he came to
this State and settled at Centralia,
where he established and conducted q
store devoted to general merchandise.
Mr.. K. represented Lewis county in
the last Legislature, and it is doubt

combine that has elevated him to the
office, leaving the Olympia triumvi.

" advertising Olympia"

There is very general belief that
the naming Of the cruiser which
achieved such distinction at Manila
for the capital city, has or will result
III much benefit to us as community,
and the later naming of stranded
vessel at New Bedford, Mass, which
has been placed on wheels and turned
into a veritable prairie schooner, the
"Olympia," has impelled Oily to claim
for it considerable "free advertising"
Now we do not believe that one out
OF ten thousand of the millions of
spectators who congregated in Gotham
to welcome Dewey knew or cared
pistareen where the name of the cele-
brated flagship came from, and the
few who gave the subject any consid-
Grafton at all associated the name
with memories of the traditions reIat-
ed of ancient Greece and the age ia
nous for athletic sports. In fact the
achievements OF the noted cruiser en-
tlrely overshadowed any distinction, or
benefit flowing therefrom, that might
not have resulted from naming an
ordinary warship for village in one
OF the youngest of the ssterhood OF
States. Nobody would stop to en-
quire into such an inessential detail of
. history made up of magnificent
achievements. Instead of the cruiser
filling the mission of a satellite to her
sponsor in the historic realm, Olym-
pia, the little city becomes by compar-
ison and the laws of gravitation a
mere point in the nebula shining
from the reflected glory, occasion ally
seen at glance as the telescope is cas-
ually focused upon the greater central
luminary, 1t is difficult to conceive
how the naming of a gospel ship after
our city may in any way lead to " adver-
Using" which can be of any benefit to
our city; and as the only legitimate
object OF advertising is to derive a
profit in some manner therefrom, we
can see no reason for raising q cackle

Bless the Women !

The work of the National w. c. 7.
U. convention lately held at Seattle
contained some surprises in departure
from the central idea which has hith-
erto engaged the attention of the Or
ganization. One resolution adopted
"deeply deplores the attitude taken
by our nation with respect to the
Philippine islands, and since govern
ments can derive their just powers
only from the consent of the governed,
we protest both against the policy
which would compel foreign people
to submit to the rule OF the United
States and against the war through
which the administration is striving
to enforce its policy"
One delegate said in support OF the
resolution, "If the men of the nation
were too cowardly to denounce the
war, the women of the nation, repre-
sented by the w. C. T. u, dared to do
it,"
The association vigorously protests
"against the manifestly forced and I'M
just Interpretation of the anti-canteen
law, as rendered by Attorney General
of the United States Griggs, and up.
held by ex.Secretary of War Alger,
and we urge upon the chief executive
OF our nation, William Mckinley, as
COMMANDMENT. Chief of our army and
navy, an immediate consideration of
the case, which will result in such &C
ton as shall be in accord with the ex-
pressed will of the people, and his own
high oath of Office"
The names OF the Attorney General,
Secretary and President were inserted
by amendment, which elected much
heated discussion, during which one of
the indignant little partisans left the

Gall they want is an Atkinson and
Bryan to turn the Convention into q

The requisition for A. ]. Jaque, by
the State of Iowa, on a charge of big
amy, was granted by the executive of
this State last week. The warrant is
opposed on very singular grounds, to
say the least. The defendant was held
at North Yakima, and he asks release
on the ground that when he married
the second time he was in the Fayette
county Uowa) Jail on a charge of Sc
duction, and he was promised his lib
erty if he would marry his victim.
The alternative was accepted, without
any knowledge on the part of the au-
thorities that he already had a wife.
It is for this violation of the law that
he is wanted in Iowa. The prisoner
claims that as he acted under duress,
he committed no crime by the mar
riage. 1t is plain, however, that if
that contention be true, he should be
taught that seduction is a crime BY
the full limit OF punishment pre-
scribed for it.
