The wonder of the heavens—Halley's comet—that has filled the mind of the world for many months and has been the theme of more discussion than any event of a terrestial nature that hus oc curred ID the life time of most of us, ap peared in its glory at the time of the eelipne of the moon Monday night be tween U and 10 o'clock. The eclipse came on schedule time, lasted just one hour as per advance agent announce ment, and the comet, with itstai! flaring in the heavens, acted precisely as the Bavants of the world said it wouid act, by making a spectacular display to an audience of millions of people. For be it known it is not reasonable to suppose that the Paloueecountry and the Inland Empire enjoyed a monopoly of this won der in the heavens, which last appeared in 1835 and will appear again in 75 or 76 yt'tirn from date, probably as great a curioeitj to people who inhabit this mun dane Hphere then as it is to us now. Whether the aeroplane will then be per fected so that people can sail through space to the comet or flirt with other heavenly bodies we are loth to express an opinion—perhapß not. The tail of the comet was a delusion to people here abouts until Monday night, at the time of the moon's eclipse, when it extended at least 40 degrees from the head in a flare of light. Another thing connected with the com ing of Hallej's comet, it will cause in creased study of the heavenly bodies, making ol astronomy what it should be, a more familiar subject to all peoples of the earth. It is a deep study, a life loi.tr study to master, but those who aspire to a liberal education should have a gen ernl knowledge of the heuveuly bodies, know something ol their coming and go ing, and be able to point out the nightly visitors as they twinkle in purest ray se rene above us. All cannot become ea rants, bet every man aud woman can easily obtain a knowledge of the upper deep Oi it wi'! surely prove a source of <it satisfaction if not of material profit. We therefore take off our hat to Hailey'fl comet and bid the heavenly messenger God-speed on the journey firoun i Neptune and back to the gaze of Mother Bartb, albeit we shall not bt here to Bee it when it comes ag-tin, know ing that the \i*itor ban dose us no barm in this year of our Lord 1910, but has caused us to stop for a brief period and look af the best, the purest, the greatest in nat.ire. All hail. Bailey's comet 1 The Poindexteritet held a banquet in Seattle the other Dtght. Prom a list of iiHiiifs published who were prew^nt it was sutrgeHM\ f of h jar of niixpd pickles. One Griffith, who had aaptratioM to le mayor of Seattle Ht the last election, was tons* master. Griffith was h candi date in the republican primaries, and becauHe a majority of the voters at the primaries wanted some one else for mayor he flew the track at the election and supported the democratic candidate Of course he is an insurgent. Unless he can rule and dictate everything is wrong. We also noticed the name of Thomas Winsor. To old timers Wineor will be remembered as the leader of the populist party during the crazy times of the nineties. He wanted to be United States senator then, and will take anything in eight now. He is now an insurgent, a follower of the democratic congressman from this district. The Tacoma News saye that John H. Williams of that city is writing what will be the first complete book on Mount Hainier, so far as the history of the geology, geography, flora and fauna of the great pile are known. It will be the most elaborately illustrated book ever written of an American mountain. The title will be, "A Mountain That Was God." Mr. Williams his made a thorough study of the mountain aud its history and his book will be read with excep tional interest. Several of the Inland Empire papers that were inclined to fait in line and fol low the lead of Poindexter in the insur gency business are getting their eyes open in regard to the way hie campaign ie managed. The Oakesdaie Tribune re marks: "If Congressman Poindexter does not call a halt on his fool press agent he will find his senatorial fences looking like they had come in close con tact with a Kansas cyclone upon his re turn from Washington." The Maiden Register man adds this to the sum total: "While we admire Miles Poindexter, we cannot help thinking that his campaign is in mighty poor hands At any rate the press that comes to our table does not teem to take very favorably to him or his campaign manager. It begins to look very much like Burke or Wilson." Selah! Senator Stepheuson of Wisconsin, who is HT years of Hire, saw Halley's comet in L 835, when a lad six years old, and, of course, saw it Hgiin this year. Halley wan 85 when he made his wonderful state merit that the comet appeared every 75 or 7G years, its appearance being noted twice—lS.'lfi and 1910—since his death, proving that he knew whereof he epoke Halley's claim to fame rests on what he did after his 85th year. This is a lesson for the mature in yeare to stand up and take notice. The Morning Olympian thinks that when a supreme court upsets a murder conviction because of the misuse of one word in '$."> pages of instructions to a jury, as the Ohio supreme court did, the courts must not complain if the people lose confidence in them. S. C. Armstrong ha* resigned as state grain inspector and Richard J. Stephens of Spokane, so it is stated, ia elated for the position. The appointment is to be made by the state railroad commission. Old Dope Revamped. The Spokane Spokesman takes the staud that the so-called progressive re publican party is not a party distinct from the republican party. It is just as much a separate and distinct party as was the silver republican party, and the same kind of disgruntled minority in the republican party is now trying to bring defeat to that party in this state as was accomplished a few years ago by an alli ance of the silver men with the demo crats. The memory of the voter must indeed be treacherous if he has forgotten the fierce denunciation of the republican party emanating from George Turner, W. C. Jones and other silver republican apostates, vigorously backed by the Spokane Spokesman. The speeches of the insurgents and the editorial of the press sound and read like the old silver republican dope revamped. The pro gressives may bring temporary defeat to the republican party, but the grand old party cannot be wrecked by a rule or ruin minority, and in another two years the misnamed progressives will be ab sorbed by the democratic party, where they belong, and, as after the silver eruption, the republican party will be stronger than ever.—Oroville Gazette. Laughing at Poindexter. The city of Washington is laughing at Congressman I'oindexter. He went over into Ohio with drums beating and flags flying to defeat Congressman Taylor's renomination. Poindexter was shouting for an "insurgent." Taylor was renom mated by a considerably larger majority than hi* best friends had hoped for. — Tacoma News. AMONG THE CHURCHES.

COLFAX, WASHIAGIC:;, MAY 27, 1910. rnUVtU nio bSiAVtln, How a New Hampshire Lad Resented Epithet of "Coward."' A Washington newspaper man, one of the few survivors of tlie Fifty-ninth Massachusetts regiment, recently told thi>- story: "A young Now Hampshire lad of sixteen, Stunner Elliott, was a mem ber of Company I, my company. In some way a companion had been mov ed i" call him a coward at Spottsyl vania. The. epithet was undeserved, for Elliott was a brave buy. He thrashed the man who called him a coward, but the insult rankled. Ou the march to North Anna river he brooded over it. We led the corps across the river and advanced ou the enemy. A rattling musketry fire was dotting the ground with our dead and wounded. "Presently young Elliott sprang ahead of the advancing line, and as he waved his musket over his bead he shouted out in broad New England accent: " 'Serjeant Mertin, am I a coward?' "The enemy opened a masked bat tery full on our front and under a thousand yards from their line. The gabs were loaded to the muzzles with grape and canister, and as the sward we were tripping over was perfectly level great yaps were made in our ranks. Nevertheless we rushed on, cheering, Suinner well in the lead. Presently he went down, full length, and as we swept over him the gallant lad was still faintly shouting: " 'Sergeant Mertin, a-m I a c-o-w --a-r-d':' "His kneecap had been broken with a grapeshot, and when subsequently removed to the field hospital our first sergeant, John 11. Mertin, managed to visit him. As the poor boy, laid out on the rude operating table, grasped the sergeant's hand he faintly mut tered. 'S-e-r-g-e-a-n-t M-e-r-t-i-u, am 1 a e-o-w-a-r-dV "The sergeant pressed his hand and replied with tears in his eyes, 'No, Sumner, my lad; New Hampshire nev er raised a coward.'
