Mr.. Coninc cannot refrain from
cutting little Oiy occasionally, and
from letter received this week we
make the following extract, emitting
the paragraphs in which some allu-
sion is made to the way that journal
takes the sage of Iclm to task for
drinking a glass vi beer while on a
late visit to Olympia. The sage can
not afford to meet he little pencil
pushcr on that plane; it is beneath
the dignity Of Il gentleman to take
note OF such il fragrant violation Of or
binary social amenities.
The Sage reaches for the scruH Of
the neck of our contemporary, in an
other manner, however, as follows:
BY the way. oily, have just read
your little comments on Bryan's
speech in Olympia" it's better late
than never" you know. Well, its II
corkcr, and fully up to the d. o p.
standard for veracity. 1t is just as
impossible for d. o. p. journal to tell
facts about a speaker opposed to Re-
publican cuSsedncss, as it is for the
devil to love holy water. | think
have asked fifty men, at least, what
they thought of his speech both in
Olympia and Tacoma and the univer-
sal reply with one exception was
splendid" grand" &" the best ever
heard" etc, and when you say there
was no enthusiasm manifested in
Olympia, nine tenths of the people
present stand ready to dispute the
statement. Say, Oily, there must be
something wrong with your upper
story. Are you sure you haven't n
plugged artery leading to the brain?
One certainly wouldn't be guilty of
making the statements you do, if your
head were all right. a we'll balanced
head couldn't help but see some merit
at least in the most fearless champion
of the rights Of man the United States
ever produced. Let me tap you on
your little head and listen for an echo.

deed do and hope the time will soon
come when that affection of the brain
with which you seem to be afflicted
will be removed and you will be en-
abled to appreciate good speech
when You hear it and comprehend the
difference between a republic and an
empire. Say, Oily, understand there
is going to be a monkey show in Phil

any connection with the Republican

AN "UNEAsY" HEAD THAT WEARS
No Grown. - Lilioukalini, former
Queen of the Sandwich Islands; is quite
heart-brOken over the refusal of this
government to place her upon the
pension.list, and is about to return to
her own country to die. At least, that
is the inference, for the royal lady has
made her shroud, custom invariably
observed by her people, as to be buried
in garments prepared by other peo-
pie is considered discreditable. The
shroud is of the heaviest white satin,
lined with purple silk, and gold clasps
on which her coat-of-arms appears, to
fasten the garment at the throat. A
beautiful rose casket is likewise ready
for its occupant. Queen Lii has been
resident of the Capital City the past
year, holding sort of semi-court in
the aristocratic portion CT the city.
Although she had set her heart upon
an annuity of $4,000 from this gov
eminent, she is by no means in need
OF that or any other sum, having pri-
vate fortune yielding her $4,000 a
year, besides fine estate and country
palace.
