Give Us q Rest.

Many people Will bc glad that cleo
ton is over to get rid OF the campaign
horn nuisance and the rowdyism
which accompanies it. For the past
fortnight. there could not he a public
mectin. held without the prevalence
oi this ear, splitting ollen>c to proprl-
ETY. and common deccncy.
The nuisance increased as election
approached, and saturday night AT
the thcatcr it was nearly impossible
ior the speakers to proceed with their
speeches. At the Unity Church,
where the Republicans held their final
meeting, band OF these di>turbets
marched boldly in while the speaking
was on and knocked one of the anna
tcur orators, it is said, completely off
his pegs.
Strange to say, young girls were out
with their horns, and quite "a boist-
Iotis and unruly as the average Juven-
lie and grown hoodlum. 1t was con-
spicuously observable that no effort
WAS made to enforce the curfew ordi-
nance, specially enacted to meet just
such outbursts of public, as well as
private INSTRUMENTATION.
Some of the larger hoodlums, on
the night OF election day, found great
sport in stealing up to some unsus-
pccting citizen and firing blast close
to his ear, which was scarcely less
startling and painful than n blow from
a club, to the infinite delight of
band OF followers who stimulated the
nerve OF the chief actor by their loud
evidences OF approval and admiration.
The election campaign this year has
developed disposition towards rowdy-
ism similar to that manifested on
Halloween, when some people appear
to think that all restraint is off and
license exists to do almost any vandal
act.
The disorder eliminated election
night, when procession paraded the
streets with circular saw suspended
on a scantling carried on s.alHart
shoulders, which was pounded, to sup
plement the horns and cow-bells that
brought up the rear of the clamor of
veritable inferno.
Such evidence of the delicate equi-
poise of the human mind demonstrate
plainly how many lives are wrecked
on the shores of Circumstance, and
how like thistledown they may be
waited about by the breezes of heaven
until finding rest in walls too secure
for the cyclone blast to penetrate.
Such acts demonstrate the truth OF
the lines:
Reason and madness are near allied.
And narrow partition the bounds divide"

IT is said that Sir Thomas Upton
has made 100000 in his corner on
pork in this country. In other words
he has put up successful pork deal
to "raise the wind" for his next race
for the American cup.

A CRATER, in this country, is an
individual who is engaged in a con.
slant endeavor to live off the labors of
his fellow man without much labor for
himself. The plan may be to beg or
borrow small sums of money. This is
the graft pure and simple. Or it may
be obtaining some benefit by devices
which are supposed to possess some
merit they do not hold. This is the
chief CRATER. He appears gener-
ally with some advertising scheme,
and he readily catches gudgeons who
will never rise at legitimate cast of
some home laborer. Soon as he has
worked community, he bids adieu to
his victims and skips out for pastures
new. But it may be of interest to
know the origin of the term graft, the
derivation OF CRATER. 1t has q high
birthright, emanating from a no less ex-
allied circle than the U. S. Senate.
"G-aft" is the proper name of all
Senate pages, especially if their real
name is not known, or does not come
to the mind instantly. 1t came about
in this way. One of the first pages
ever appointed by the Senate was
Grafton D. Hanson. For a while
Grafton was the only page in the Sen.
ate chamber, and the calls for Graft "
as he was called, we're very numerous
and at times urgent. As new pages
came into the Senate thereafter the
term Graft was given them and used
until their names were so we'll known
that they could be remembered. 1t is
probably their disposition to ingra-
tiate themselves with the members SO
as to be in line for "tips," that has
established the wide and more repre-
hensible use of the term.

The extent oi the kuiling of Fink

man WHO was a candidate. Of TIE forces
opposed t. the Republican party" Is
even greater than the majority cast
for Ronald, a King county man, with
all the prestige that Seattle has gained
for standing in Tor her own people.
This can 10y no means be regarded
as an endorsement oil the freaks adj

iica,ion of the intensity Of spite-work
OF men who have bolted their party
and its nominee simply for revenge.
1t will scarcely be claimed by anybody
that Rogers success, which is prob
able, is in any degree an approval OF
his acts, for however recreant he has
been to his own party, except to his
paid followers, nobody can claim that
he has done anything for the Repub-
lican party to justify its support, nor
has he performed any official acts to
ingratiatc himself with the people as
citizens.
The same incentive which inilu-
enced Humes and his followers TO bolt
their party nominee for Governor in
King county, doubtless controlled
many of Scobey's friends in this coun-
ty. for the public admissions of some

thus exhibited, was, under ordinary
motives OF poor, frail humanity, pow
erful enough to control the pencil.

ade, it is safe to charge the RESPONSE

and, second, upon Thurston county

would have transferred success to at
least an impartial arbiter instead Of

has indicated anything but prejudice
and malevolence for the people oil
Thurston county. Small minds are
capable of such prejudice from small
