1t Was "Touch-and-Go.'

ON no les authority than the CHI
cagn CifoHicis, the assertion goes forth
that al one time on the eve OF the as
scmhling oi tin Philadelphia Conven-
ton, stampede va, imminent from
Mckinley t. Roosevelt for the first
pine" on the National Republican
t.ckct. Administration men were in
t,uscly alarmed over the suggestion,
Tor it j. an open secret that the Presi-
dent is no longer popular with the
rank and file Of the party, and this I'M
popularity j. mainly founded upon
hostility to Hanna.
Several times the Mckinley mana
ser was vigorously opposed in his at
tempt Ia cram his work down the
threats oil his hitherto willing dupes.
The applause given Roosevelt, when
he entered the hall was quite as much
:, rcbuke to the scli-constituted boss
a it was in compliment to the Rough
Rider. Mckinley's picture, when
thrown upon the scene fronting Broad
street newspaper headquarters, was not
cheered with the righteousness and
energy of a year ago, and his leading
supporters, the of1ice-holders, were
chagrined at these and many other
evidences of waning power of their
idol.
The talk, at the time when this dis
position was at its height, indicated
what might have happened had the
New Yorker launched his boom a
couple of months sooner. Instructed
delegations find it difficult to break
away from the obligation imposed by
the people, no matter how conditions
may have changed between the time
they we're given and the assemblage OF
the convention.
The crisis was passed by the cool
"SSo ohu lSoSiNO vi IIc MChlulcy
forces. They simply ignored the sug.
gestion aid affected confidence they
by no means felt. This held from O
stampede many who would have been
caught had the reins been relaxed in
the slightest degree. Public events
have shown the Americans to be an
emotional people; quite much so as
the French, and had break been
made, Mark and his tin-god would
have been swept from power quite a,
ruthlessly as the high and mighty
Napoleon" was deposed from the acme
OF earthly ambition and placed in exile
iy the same people to whom he owed
his exaltation. The French Senate
gave as reason for this sudden
change of sentiment, that the great
warrior had forfeited the throne fol-
arbitrary acts and violations of the
constitution" and probably the same
undertow of thought caused the swirl
which came SO very near engulfing the
piratical administration craft at Phila.
delphia.

THE Scobey boom was launched Sat-
urday and glided into the current as
smoothly as well-greased skids could
facilitate that operation. Many days
were spent in arranging preliminaries
and when the last wedge was knocked
away by Yardmaster Rea, the claquers
all responded with pent-up vigor, as
per instructions. 1t is probable that
this expenditure of energy in one
grand collapse, may account for the
listless, and Indifferent disposition of
the convention the remainder of the
session. If the Scobey boom does not
receive any severe jams it may float
until it is knitted by the land pirates
who direct the policy of the dominant
party.

WHY should the United States take
sides with England against Russia in
the Orient? Russia was our friend
when England was our enemy. Rus
STA was the first country to accept
Secretary Hays open door proposition
and guarantee our citizens equal
rights with her own. Why should
we fly to the rescue of England, en-.
gagged as she is in the same old work
she attempted over here century and
quarter ago, and protect her Asiatic
interests for her?

PROF. Boldenweck, of the Chicago
Sanitary Board attributes the delight.
fully cool weather of the past month
in that city TO the opening of the
great drainage canal flowing into the
Missouri river. His theory is that the
cool waters Of Lake Superior passing
through Chicago, tends to lower the
temperature, and it is therefore prob
able that that city will hereafter be to
a large degree exempt from the ex-
treme heat of July and August.

have been considered worthy OF that
distinction had Tacoma's representa-.

ROOSEVELT is not the first man who
has yielded TO the seductive wiles of a
disreputable jade. When he went to
Philadelphia in his Rough Rider hat,
his friends knew that it was all up with
him. They realized that he was not
made of the resolute stuff of the man
who wore the coat of many colors.

How the first Republican platform,
that of 1856, contrasts with its mani.
festo in 1900. The one denounced
"those twin relics of barbarism-slav-
cry and polygamy." The other COM
mends the acquisition of the Philip.
pines and the treaty with the Sultan
of Suln which guarantees the continu-
ance of both "relics" and pays the
salary of the harem.keeper of the Sui
tan.

THE ticket nominated is a splendid
one, from top to bottom.-Olympian.
1t really seems to us that we have
heard that remark before, from the
same little oracle. II used the same
stcreotyped phrase in 1896, when the
"splendor" was dimmed by overwhelm-
ing defeat; in 1898, when the " splen-
did" ticket was, in the main, again
incontinently consigned to the "dem-
milton bowwows."

With Diogenes' Lantern.

While there is yet still quite an in
teryal between the nominating con-
vention and election day, the precipi-
tation of the Republicans in putting
up ticket nearly five months before
the vote is cast, impels an involuntary
sweep of the eye over the community
for available candidates to better the
results impending, from the concen-
tration OF public opinion so far made.
While the field is still an open one
for Democrats, there seems to be some
concentration o. thought in various
quarters, and we note this week drift
setting in for Superior Judge that tends
towards the nomination of Preston NJ.
Troy, a native son of Washington,
born in 1867, at Dunginess. He is,
therefore, what the Convention last
Saturday denominated a home prod
uct," which was urged as a strong pri-
mary qualification for Office.
Mr.. Troy's early life was that of the
ordinary Puget Sounder, hard work in
the logging camp and in clearing his
fathers farm. After reaching man
hood, he came to Olympia to attend
the Olympia Collegiate Institute, then
one of the leading educational colleges
OF the coast, from which he graduated
in the Normal Department. He has
resided here ever since, except during
an absence to attend full course of
law in the University OF Michigan, at
Ann Arbor, from which he graduated
with the degree of L. L. b.
Mr.. Troy began the practice of law
in this city in 1898 and his success has
fully justified claim for sterling abil-
ity in his chosen profession. He was
City Attorney three terms in success
sion, declining candidacy for a fourth,
and this demand for bis services was
based upon the excellent work per-
formed while in office. He has always
been a loyal and determined fighter
for our local interests; an active and
consistent partisan in the higl r mean
ing OF that term, welding large in
fiuence in county and State Conven-
tions.
All this may be conceded without
disparagement of the claims of other
candidates, and is the just due of a
man who has based political duty
upon the true promptings Of patriot
ism.

THE President seems to have gone
to war with China, as he did with the
Philippines, solely on his own sweet
will, without asking the consent of
Congress, in whose hands alone the
war-making power is lodged by the
Constitution. The question of the
right and justice of the war is not ma.
terial. Tho President has no legal
power to declare it and should call
Congress in session at once to consider
the matter. But he will not do it.

The National Bimetallic League,
which meets in Kansas City at the

supporters, to allow management of de.

ALTHOUGH the Boxers" in China
are bigots, and are influenced by pure

nothing but peace On earth and good

Republican newspaper, does not seem
to discover much significance in the

not even participating in those nearer

AN ATTEMPT TO RIVAL THE BRYAN
DEMONSTRATION Four YEARS AGO.
The stage effect which followed the
nomination of Mckinley at Philadel.
phia, is said to have been an excellent
effort of the political machine. 1t was
planned after, and an attempt TO rival,
the spontaneous uprising of the peo-
pie, through their representatives, in
Chicago, in 1896. Like all limitations,
however, it fell short of the original
it WAS intended to duplicate, just as
the counterfeit never can rival the
original in detail and shading.
Amidst the uproar incident to the
pre-arranged management, the bulky
form and red perspiring face of Hanna
the man of the hour-arose. He
stood calm, triumphant, satisfied. In
one hand he grasped flag, and ever
and anon he would wave it as he lifted
his bull-throated voice to sustain the
demonstration.

No Place for Women.

returned from the Partisan fair, says
that there is no recognition of women
delegates or exhibitions of women's
work in the great Exposition. Ameri-
can women who were appointed by
the President and Congress to repre-
sent this country have not met with
the official courtesies that they had a
right to expect from their high Gre
dentials. This barrier is not placed
upon our people alone but the whole
feminine contingent. In the French
capital this summer, she says, wo-
man is woman, and nothing more.
And strange to say that, notwith.
standing the generally accredited chiv-
airy Of the French people, the Fair
Commission announced in advance
that women should not be sent as rep.
resentatiyes to the zig exhibit.
This reminds us OF the dogma lately
promulgated by sect in New York,
which hold that women have no souls,
and cites orthodox support for their
position = that woman was formed
from rib taken from the side of the
created Adam, simply to serve the pur-
poses of companionship and procrea-
ton, and when this mission is finished
her object in life is fait aeeompli. Out
upon such conception of the capa-
bilities, objects and duties Of the fairer
portion Of humanity! Woman is the
chief promoter OF civilization; her
smile the greatest incentive to ambi-
ton; her counsels the most potent ex-
hortations for well-doing; her presence,
the precursor of peace and content
ment; and any nation or any sect
which ignores her influence in exalta.
ton of poor erring and frail humanity
has abandoned the highest and best
guide to progress to the higher life be-
yond.
Her mission is
ITO chase the clouds of lifes tempestuous
hours.
To strew its short but weary way with flowers,
New hopes to raise, new feelings to impart,
And pour celestial balsam on the heart
For this to man was lovely woman given
The last, best work, the nOblest gift of Heaven"
A HORRIBLE HARBINGER FOR HANNA.
The great Mark Hanna was held up
in Philadelphia, the other day by a
funeral procession, while ON his way
to the convention hall. While cross
ing the Walnut street bridge his equi-
page got packed in behind hearse
and long line of carriages en- route for
cemetery, and had to progress at
snail-like speed, at a time when his
presence was needed to pour oil and
spout vitrol to secure harmony"
This incident, although the hearse
was block away from the boss, caused
his cheek to blanch with fearful FORE
bodings, for the augury was strength
ened by the fact that the convention
was nearly five months away from
election-day. The omen spread con-
sternati0n throughout the ranks of
the party, when it became known at
the convention. A party of young
men On top of Hanna's tally-ho, rec.
ognized the predicament of the leader
and shouted, "Better get used to it
now, Mark, old boy; this is your cam
paign gait"

DESERTS His PRINCIPAL IN THE Hour

DESERTS His PRINCIPAL IN THE Hour
OF NEED.-Anolher verification of the
adage that Ingratitude is the basest
of crimes" is afforded by the attitude
of b. NJ. Price, on the gubernatorial
question and the general opinion in
which it is held. Whatever may be
said of the judgment of Rogers in the
purchase of his penny whistle, it is an
act Of the most fragrant ingratitude
not now to allow him to toot it while
forming his little procession, especially
as its possesser has been pulling vigor-
ously at the teat for three and half
years for the sole purpose of enabling
him to attain a growth wherein he
might possibly be ofsome little service.
Rogers will have the satisfaction in
knowing, however, that the Tactical
duct is still in full flow when the fat
runt is choked off, that he may now
head the Populistic column with the
cry of Cheatem," untrammeled by
any sense OF obligation. He may dis
cover, in the course of time, that it is
sometimes unwise to "off with the
old" before fair opportunity is af-
forded for con with the new"
