The Herald last week devoted gen
erous portion of its editorial space to
a lecture directed at the delegates to
the republican judicial convention
warning those gentlemen that they
must nominate a respectable candidate
for superior judge. What has our val.
ued contemporary got to say for itself
now? Will it support Mr.. Rigg!--
Democrat.
Most assuredly the Herald will sup
port Mr.. Rigg: there is no reason it
should not do so. and there are many
why it should. It is the Herald's sin
cere belief that if Mr. Rigg is elected
TO the responsible position of Superior
Judge. which he will be. beyond doubt.
he will fill the position with credit 70
himself and to the entire satisfaction
of all who have to do with that de-
partment of our courts.

OUR GUESTS.

Polteness is more than an accoln-
plishment, it is an art. The attractions
of graceful manners, modulated voice
and sympathetic countenancc are very
pleasant, but the ability to be unob-
trusivcly courteous and ielicately sol
ictous for the comfort and pleasure
of a guest, is an art. Any ono with
care can practice the accomplishments;
only the real, true gentleman or lady
can acquire the art. One is the show
the tinsel. the gliding; the other is the
pure social gold.
The citizens of North Yakima have
this week an excellent opportunity TO
convince the people of the northwest
