Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1899-12-29

The Postmaster General has issued
instructions that the letter carrier who
serves five years may wear black star
on the shoulder OF his uniform after
ten years he may sport two black stars /;
after fifteen years, one red star; after
twenty years two red stars; twenty
five years, one silver star; thirty years,
two silver stars; thirty.five years, one
gold star, and fifty years, two gold
stars. These are to be worn in addi-
ton to the stripes already prescribed
by official order. 1t will be noted that
no further decoration is provided after
fifty years service, that being the time
when the incumbent is expected to
step into the paradise to be provided
for civil service pensioners, where he
will no longer be in need of stars and
bars to distinguish him from the com.
mon herd.

THERE are appearances of race dis
sention already in the Sandwich Is.
lands. Robert S. Wilcox, a Hawaiian
revolutionist, is on his way to Wash
ington to present q petition for his own
appointment as Governor of Hawaii.
The claim made is that as an evidence
OF good faith native should be APP
pointed to that important Office, and
that the people have suffered much
oppression from Gov. Sanford p. Dole,
during his incumbency, the past five
years. Mr.. Wilcox likewise wishes
Congress to present to his wife, and
her sister, Mrs. Platt, of Honolulu,
the former crown lands of the King
dom of Hawaii. 1t seems that like
the Sultan OF Jolo there it no end to
his ambition in this matter, and he is
willing to take "any old thing" that
appears in sight. That is what we get
for abandonment of the policy of the
founders of our republic and engaging
in colonial enterprise that is incon.
sistent with its spirit and the objects
plainly outlined in the declaration
they made the groundwork of free.

An Exploded Theory.

1t is only a short term of years ago
that the best informed people declared
, that this part OF the northwest Pacific
coast was no place for turkeys, and that
they could not be- safely or profitably
raised here. 1t was asserted that the
winter rains would kill the young
turkeys before they could become
sufficiently Injured to our moist clim-
ate. But great change of opinion
has been wrought III the last decade.
Farmers have found that they can
raise turkeys as we'll as they can raise
chickens, and in many sections of the
country; in fact, all over the State of
Washington these fowls have become
SO plentiful that the markets in every
considerable city and town are tenn
ing with them ut each recurring holi-
day season. Old settlers who know
the scarcity OF these noble birds few
years ago, may well ask, "Where do
they all come from?"
An experienced rancher explains
the whole matter quite plausibly when
he says the turkey of Washington to-
day is quite different fowl from what
his pioneer brother was ten or fifteen
years ago. That is to say, the birds
raised now experience little or no in.
convenience from our winter rains.
1t is also observed that turkeys hav-
ing wide range are rapidly becoming
accustomed to the "shack" peculiar
to fir and cedar lands upon which
grouse and pheasants feed and grow
fat; and many we'll informed observ-
ers 60 so far as to predict that the
time will come when our more favored
upland districts will be stocked with
colonies OF wild turkeys as they are
now stocked with pheasants and
grouse.
The same food upon which the
grouse flourishes will suffice for turkeys,
and it is only question of time for
the latter birds to find out the secret
of becoming self-sustaining denizens
of our open timber districts.
Japanese pheasants and bob-whites
when turned loose in Washington
forests thrive and multiply so long
as they are protected from the in
human hunter and his blood-thirsty
hounds.
1t is easily supposable case that
if the wild turkeys of the middle and
western States can withstand as they
do the billiards of those storm-swept
districts, they ought to be able to
endure the severest winters of our
mild Washington.

associated, since his residence in this
city began. He is foreman of the
State bindery.
The happy couple will make their

INHERENT WEAKNESS OF OUR ONE
LEGGED CURRENcY.-Ex-Senator Du-
bois is jubilant over the enhanced
prospects of silver from the Transvaal
war. He thinks that if the war con-
tinues, two or three months longer,
undisputable proofs will be afforded of
the absolute truth OF the contention
of silver advocates that there is not
enough gold in the world to form the
basis OF the worlds monetary system,
He thinks the war will be a mighty
influence in the campaign of next
year, and that the object lesson will
convince the people of this country,
who are already becoming adapted to
teaching by circumstances which have
opened up the pathway to reason, that
it is not safe to place upon gold the
entire burden OF the monetary volum Q
of the world. He says regarding the
swirl on Wall street, a few days ago !:
ut may be interesting to observe that
the panic in New York was simulta-
neous with the passage of the House
gold standard bill. Now, if panic
had followed the passage of silver
free coinage bill the wise men and the
press of the land would not have hest
tated a second to attributed it to the
passage of the bill" Whether the
gold standard bill caused the tremor
or not, it was one of those premises of
logical sequence that can find no
other 80 firmly based upon reason. A
restricted volume of money creates
sensitively nervous conditions and a
very slight strain in the market may
set in motion train of events that
creates q panic, ard when men lose
their heads, their acts are simply those
of wildmen.

A Strange Tragedy.

A society sensation in Chicago is
the subject of elaborate detail in the
Associated Press dispatches, and must
therefore be deemed of sufficient i'm
portance to interest the general pub
lie. On the evening of the 22d Miss
Powell, society belle and heiress TO
millions, with apparently everything
to make life not only durable but de-
sirable, committed suicide in q disrep.
utable house, after a night OF deliber-
ate debauchery to which she had been
a stranger all her life.
Early in the evening, in company
with Mrs. Wells, the victim began
her orgy in q fashionable hotel, where
both drank to excess, in company
with several young men OF their set. /"
After midnight the two women took q
cab and drove around to the most no.
torious resorts, in one Of which Miss
Powell took her life. 1t is said that
she became insanely jealous Of atren-
tions bestowed by Mrs. Wells on one
of her own sex, Jewess, an inmate OF
the place, and in fit OF pique went
to bathroom, where she was found
few moments later in the agony of
death.
1t is indeed difficult to probe the
motive of such an act, although after
the first step, the Grazing of the brain
with alcohol, the succeeding stages
seem to be natural sequence of q
high-strung organization, from a real.
izing sense OF shame, and the remorse
which inevitably follows fall from a
high social pedestal.
