STEEL BARGE COMES
IN FROM THE SOUTH

The much awaited 1000 ton self
propelled steel barge of John Bern
hard arrived here at , o'clock this af-
ternoon after a hard trip up the Mis-
sissippi from New Orleans. The barge
evidently was overloaded and was
grounded several times on sand bars.
The steamer Helen Blair pulled it off
the sand bar at Oquawka, H.. yester-
day. which is 90 miles from Rock Is
land. The Helen Blair then took 800
barrels of the barge's cargo to tighten
the load.
The barge proved quite an attrac-

WHAT HAPPENED IN OLYMPIA AND
STATE TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
From The Washington Standard For
August rs, 1880. Vol.
XVIII. No. 80.

Mr.. w. T. Cavanaugh is managing
the Partisan Office while Thomas H.
is doing Washington
The reception held by Governor
Moore Friday night was one of the
most elegant entertainments ever
given in the Capital City.
A few days ago some wag forged
the name of the mayor Of Tacoma to
letter addressed to the mayor of
Boston, asking that a cargo or two
Of girls be sent out to the City of
Destiny to supply long felt want"
for wives that existed there. 1t
seems that the matter was received
with considerable suspicion at the
Hub, and that will probably account
for the result of a canvass made by
the World correspondent, who found
only five in 100 maidens interviewed
were willing to undertake such an
unprecedented matrimonial venture.
1t may be, however, the erputation
of Tacoma is not the best abroad, for
it will be remembered when Mr.. Mer-
Ger made a similar appeal on behalf
of Seattle about score of years ago,
he met with immediate response from
about 800 fair ones, who now repre-
sent some of the first families of
Washington.
Mr.. Allen Weir was in receipt of
news yesterday that the Union Pa
cific railroad had formally accepted
the proposition extended to it by the
people of that city. Briefly stated,
the terms of the proposition we're to
the effect that Port Townsend would
pay the company 100000 in cash,
make over to it titles of the right-of-
way so far subscribed, besides good
and sufficient titles to all lands which
have been subscribed by the people.
On the other hand, the railroad has
covenanted to make Port Townsend
the northern terminus OF their line
and within stipulated time to have
built and in operation 20 miles of the
road from Port Townsend to Port
land. Now If the railroad companies
were as infallible as they are sover-
eign and all-powerful, the Port of En-
try would have good reason to rejoice
over this announcement of their good
fortune. But railroad companies are
not to be depended upon as infallible.
1t will be remembered that on a mem
+, orable Christmas morning not many
years ago a similar announcement
was made to the people of Olympia
through official posters sent out by
princely but not infallible railroad
company. Circulars were also sent
through the United tSates mails tt
each contributor of land or money
notifying the receiver that the com
pany had accepted his proposition
and that the city of Olympia had beer
selected as the Puget Sound terminus
of the road. The people of Olympus
called a massmeeting at Columbi'
hall, to publicly express their Joy an,
gratitude at the turn of events. Blu
the sequel tells it's own story. TIL
people of Port Townsend had bette

the cup and the lip"

That Single Tax Bugaboo.
(Aberdeen Herald.)

Editor Little persists, in the Ray
mond Review, that the plank in the
Democratic state platform favoring
an amendment to the constitution
that will enable the people to enact
revenue system that will be in har-
mony with changed economic condi-
tions," is a dark design of the single
takers. The editor of the Review
has unquestionably been misinformed
concerning this plank. There was
absolutely no discussion of it on the
floor of the convention and but very
little in the committee. That it con-
templates the adoption of the theory
of Henry George remained for the
Review to discover. The platform
simply favors giving the people a
chance to change Anticipated laws,
as suggested time and again by the
state tax commission, in such manner
as they see fit. The Herald does not
believe that a majority of the people
of this state desire the single tax, nor
that such a measure would receive
serious consideration, but we know
'he tax laws need revision and are
c, intent to submit the manner of such
revision to the voters. 1t will require
more than three years to amend the
constitution, during which time the
matter will be fully discussed.
