In R" Rogers Et At.
i iie extent of the knifing of Funk
by Republicans of Seattle, is shown by
the majorities east for McKinlev over
Rryan, of while Rogers leads
Prink by MoT. This maj >rity for the
man w ho was a candidate of '• the forces
o: p >.-> <1 to 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 for In r own people.
This can by no means be regarded
as an endorsement of the freak's ad
ministration, hut simply an exempli
fication of the intensity of spite-work
of men who have bolted their party
and its nominee simply for revenge.
It will scarcely he claimed by anybody
that Rogers' success, which is prob
able, is in any di gree an approval of
bis acts, for however recreant be has
been to bis own party, except to bis
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
ingratiate himself with the people as
citizens.
The same incentive which influ
enced Humes and his followers to holt
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
of these recalcitrants, that they
" didn't care who was elected Gov
ernor," betrayed an animus, which
thus exhibited, was, under ordinary
motives of poor, frail humanity, pow
erful enough to control the pencil
mark in the election booth.
If Rogers is elected, as is now
claimed by the bread-and-butter brig
ade, it is safe to charge the responsi
bility, first, upon the Republican party,
and, second, upon Thurston county,
for the vote of this county changed
would have transferred success to at
least an impartial arbiter instead of
an avowed eueniy; for we defy any
body to point to a single act of his
Accidency, public or private, which
has indicated anything but prejudice
and malevolence for the people of
Thurston county. Small minds are
capable of such prejudice from small
causes, and J. R. Rogers wears a No. 6
hat, and had keen sized up at his true
value.
In conclusion, we will say that the
STANDARD has fought John R. Rogers
from a sense of duty, as a champion
of the people and their rights. When
tho first acts of perfidy of the execu
tive were exhibited, there were none—
absolutely none—but who applauded,
openly or secretly, the truthful ar
raignment of one who hnd proven
recreaut to promise, and oblivious of
the course which common justice out
lined. If narrow-minded partisanship
and the work of those sycophants who
wish to lick the plate off which the
venal executive rats, can roll up 900
votes for a man who deserves nothing
but the curses of the people, 'lis well.
The STANDARD will find some satisfac
tion in the way these people will ac
knowledge their error in the near fu
ture by the maledictions which should
last Tuesday have consigned the freak
to merited and everlasting oblivion.
A GRAFTER, in this country, is an
individual who is engaged in a con
stant 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 grafter. lie appears gener
ally with some advertising scheme,
and he readily catches gudgeons who
will never rise at a legitimate cast of
some home laborer. Soon as he lias
worked a 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 grafter. It has a high
birthright, cmanatiug from a no less ex
alted circle than the U. S. Senate.
"Graft" is the proper name of all
Senate pages, especially if their real
name is not known, or docs not come
to the mind instantly. It 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, were 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 well known
that they could be remembered. It 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.
BISHOP Potter, of New York, has
not quite made up his mind which is
worse—the ebsequious flunkeyism of
the common people abroad or the free
and easy manners of the independent
American citizen. On his last visit to
Englaud the Bishop was addressed as
"Your Grace" until the phrase be
came a nightmare. When he arrived
home again it happened that the first
person to address him as he walked
down the gang-plank was a longshore
man, who knew him. " Hello, bish,
liow are you ? " said the man, and the
Bishop fell to thinking which of the
two styles he preferred.
IT is said that Sir Thomas Lipton
has made $300,000 in his corner on
pork in this country. In other words
he has put up a successful pork deal
to " raise the wind" for his next race
for the American cup.
Give Us a Rest.
Many pe pie will be glad that elec
tion 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
meeting held without the prevalence
of tui - <ai -plittiiig oll'eti-e to propri
ety and eonunon decency.
The nuisance increased as election
approached, an 1 Saturday night at
the theater it was nearly impossible
for the speakers to proceed with their
speeches. At the I'nity Church,
where the Republicans held their linal
meeting, a band of these disturbers
marched boldly in while the speaking
was on and knocked one of the ama
teur orators, it is >.-ii«!, completely oil'
bis pegs.
Strange to say, young girls were out
with their horns, and ipiite as boist
ioils and unruly as the avi rage juven
ile and grown hoodlum. It was con
spicuously observable that no elfort
was made to enforce the curfew ordi
nance, specially enacted to meet just
such outbursts of public, as well as
private insubordination.
Some of the larger hoodlums, on
the night of election day, found great
sport in stealing up to some unsus
pecting citizen and firing a blast close
to his ear, which was scarcely less
startling and painful than H blow from
a club, to the infinite delight of a
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 a disposition towards rowdy
ism similar to that manifested on
Hallowe'en, when some people appear
to think that all restraint is ofT and
license exists to do almost any vandal
act.
The disorder culminated election
night, when a procession paraded the
streets with a circular saw suspended
on a scantling carried on stalwart
shoulders, which was pounded, to sup
plement the horns and cow-bells that
brought up the rear of the clamor of a
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
wafted 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 ami madness art- ucar allied.
And a narrow partition the hounds divide."
THERE YOU ARE !—lt lias always
been thought that in the fierce con
test for wage-rates with aliens, in this
country, that there were pursuits in
volving mental ability of such a high
order and a degree of familiarity with
our customs and habits and the idiom
of our language, which would forever
keep them closed to the little brown
man of the Orient. Even that fond
hope has been ruthlessly swept aside
by a St. Paul telegram of the 27th
ult., in which it is staled that, "A
visit to the business colleges of that
city, and its twin Minneapolis, betrays
the fact that nearly 1,000 Jsps are be
ing educated in telegraphy, shorthaud
and typewriting. These men have all
been promised places on two of the
great transcontinental lines; in fact,
nearly all of them are in school at the
request of these railroad companies.
It is said that in a business college at
La Crosse there are nearly as many
more engaged in learning these occu
pations. They are bright and quick
to learn. It is understood many of
them will be employed by the railroad
companies immediately after election.
DOUBTS IMMORTALIFY OF THE SOUL.
—And now a crank's will is under
contest at New Haven, Conu., on the
ground that its provisions are against
public policy and the teachings of
Christianity. The decedent's name
was S. L. Hall, and he leaves SIO,OOO
to combat the doctrine of immortality
of the soul. The bequest was made to
the Advcntisis' Christian Publication
Society of Boston, and the will provides
that the money shall be used " For
the publication of tracts to counteract,
as far as may be, that greatest of all
pagan delusions upon which is founded
all the great systems of error and su
perstition in the world, namely, the
doctrine of the immortality of the
soul, that thereby the entire Christian
system may be readily and clearly per
ceived and the way to eternal life
made free and plain to all who will
follow it."
THE New York World notes as an
indication of a tendency towards
equality of the sexes the increasing
readiness of American college girls to
engage in " hazing." The late cam
paign l>ell and horn mania here points
in the same direction. Neither indi
cation points towards an upper plane
of morals, and it is hoped will speodily
subside.
WHILE the saloons were all closed
on election day and presumably no
liquor was drank, we saw several peo
ple who were not sober by a jugfull.
It is probable, however, they were as
prudent as the deacon, who laid in a
supply for twenty-four hours Saturday
night, so as to avoid desecration of the
Sabbath.
THE steamship Cleveland was
wrecked on the northern coast about
30 miles north of Nome, a fortnight
ago, and was a total loss. She was la
den with 400 tons of coal, belonging
to government for the military force
at Nome.
UNDER the unmistakable signs of
impending change of our form of gov
ernment, while we fear for the worst,
let us hope for the best.
IT turns out that the people were
"thinking" in the late campaign—
but of deviltry.
Watch the Drift
repulsive is the proposition to
change our form of government to an
autocracy that very few believe that it
is really contemplated by any large
number of our people. Hut now, that
election is over, probably honestly ex
pressed opinion will receive some
weight, and the writer truly affirms
that there are gtave fears to be appre
hended from tliis trend.
The moneyed power have piled their
millions to such colossal heights that
they are tired of the sport of making
money, and want some other toy to
play with, some other ambition upon
wliieh to expend their strength and
vitality. Money having elevated them
in a degrce above the rabble, they now
seek by the class distinction of caste,
to widen the gulf between the dizzy
heights they have already attained
and the bogs from which they sprang.
The only feasible way of doing this—
having married their daughters ofF to
the eflVte moribund aristocracy of the
old world—is to establish a nobility un
der a monarchial form of government
on the ruins of oui once glorious re
public.
It is idle to attempt to down this as
sertion with a sneer, when such papers
as the St. Louis Globe, the Nevada
Chronicle and even the Portland Ore
gonian, favor a " strong government"
to protect " Sound money."
The issue was fairly made in the
late campaign, but. not more than one
in a hundred could bring himself to
realize that such an enormity could
be seriously entertained by any Amer
ican citizen. Therein lies the danger,
for if imperialism comes, it will be by
such slow degrees that the chains will
be riveted before the people are aware
of the insidious designs of the selfish
crew who would sell their souls for
gratification of an earthly ambition
excited by the lust of gold.
It will be well for the citizen to
keep his eye on the drift of public af
fairs, if for no other reason than to
prepare himself to cast an intelligent
vote in the next contest, if we ever
have another free election.
The Cloven Foot Again Exposed.
The Power That is Working Behind the Throne.
Such publications as the following
never before appeared in American pa
pers since the government was formed.
They are now quite frequent. The
following paragraph is taken from the
Nevada Chronicle, a McKinlcy paper,
and shows the secret motive and un
derstanding of the moneyed power:
"We need a stronger government; the
wealth of the country demands it.
Without capital and the capitalist, gov
ernment would not be worth a lig. The
capital of the country demands protec
tion. Its rights are as sacred as the
rights of paupers, who are continually
prating about the encroachments of cap
ital, and against centralization. The
wealth of the country has to boar the
burdens of the government, ami it shall
control it. The people are becoming ed
ucated tip to this this theory rapidly,
and the sooner this theory is recognized
in the constitution and laws, the better
it will be for the people. Without
bloodshed, and rivers of it, there will be
no political change of administration.
The monied interests of tho country for
self-preservation, must sustain the Re
publican party. The railroads, the
hanks, the manufactories, the heavy im
porters, and all classes of business in
which millions are invested will main
tain the supremacy of the Republican
party. To avert fearful bloodshed, a
strong central government should be es
tablished as soon as possible."
Destitute Women at Dawson
What is to become of the poor wo
men at Dawson, this winter, is a mat
ter of concern from reports that come
down from that inhospitable country.
That city is overrun with women.
Three years ago it was a rush of sturdy
men; this season it has been an influx
of frail women, who were drawn north
ward by the stories told of fabulous
wealth and of fortunes made by wo
men in light employment. Many are
destitute, without means for return.
Food is plentiful, but it takes money
to buy it, and that many of them
have not got. The cost of passage to
" civilization" is from S9O to SIOO, and
over the ice it will cost three times
those figures. If it bo true that a
number of men were brought down
from Nome at government expense, to
relieve them from dire distress, if not
starvation, how much more strong is
the demand for relief of the poor wo
men who have been caught in the
toils by an effort to keep step in the
procession of human beings whose
life is a constant struggle for a bare
existence.
ALL of the people who said the Em
pire was here seem to have been seri
ously mistaken.—P.-I.
Not so; the result shows the domi
nation of all the influences which are
surely, but almost imperceptibly,
changing the sentiment of our people
into the Hamiltonian idea of a limited
monarchy. By the way, the Republi
can party is the legitimate successor
of tl»e old Whig party, and the Whig
party reaffirmed the policy of the
strong governmental plan in forming
the government. So it does not take
much to convince a man who believes
that he belongs to the " better class,"
that it is his right to rule by heredity,
and have titles and handles to his
name, dangling about him like jewels
from the nose and ears of a Chinese
idol.
A NUMBER of years ago, before he was
famous, Theodore Roosevelt was asked
how he pronounced his name when it
was introduced in this country, and
what it meant. Here is his answer:
" My name is pronounced Ro-sa-velt.the
s with almost a z sound; introduced
about 1629; Dutch; means field of
roses.
An apology should be made to the

A Newly Fledged Science.
A reader of the WASHINGTON- STAND
AIM) asks for some information regard
ing the origin and history of what he
terms the " postage stamp collecting
fad."
Our inquirer makes a literary mis
take in the outset by calling this pur
suit a "fad"; however vain it might
have been considered in its inception,
it is not so regarded at the present
day, for it is now one of the acknowl
edged sciences of recent date, on much
the same footing as the science of nu
mismatics, to which, to some respects,
it bears a marked resemblance.
So late as 1805, a French gentle
man of leisure, M. Herpin, himself
quite an enthusiast in the study and
collection of postage stamps, published
a little work in Paris entitled Le Col
lertionneur, in which he reduced to an
exact science the leading principles of
his favorite pastime. In default of a
more befitting name he coined the
word Philately to designate the col
lecting, the pursuit, and study of the
various designs exhibited by the post
age stamps of all nations. Mr. Her
pin styled the postage stamp collector
a "Philntist," and these two terms, the
one designating the pursuit and the
other a professor or amateur in that
pursuit, are now generally recognized
as standard words in our latest litera
ture.
Another somewhat, less popular
writer lias suggested the term Tim
brology as a more comprehensive ex
pression, but Philately lias a long dis
tance the start and appears to be
much the preferred term by the great
majority of writers. The literal mean
ing of Philately is " Love of prepay
ment," which is at best a rather far
fetched and obscure derivation. The
word Timbrology, on the other hand,
literally signifies "The science or
knowledge of stamps and seals."
A late English writer goes so far as
to recommend that the pursuit of
postage stamp collecting be introduced
into common schools as a practical
help to the study of modern history.
The Work Begun.
The Oregonian is beginning to sugar
coat John Chinaman so that the pub
lic can swallow him, or at least ex
hibit less repugnance at the dose. It
declares that the Chinaman of the Pa
cific isles is a different being from the
coolies of California and that the
heathen is ndmitted to social and busi
ness equality at Hawaii. It quotes
from a nameless correspondent, pre
sumably located at Honolulu, who is
made to say: " Those who know him
I the Chinaman] only on the Pacific
Slope do not know him at all. There
he is a despised menial, outside the
pale of society, abused and tolerated
because he can't be wholly gotten rid
of. In these favored isles he is a man
among men, the faithful and trusted
servant, and often occupies important
places in public affairs; he is wel
comed to any society for which he has
fitted himself. And so well has he
improved the exceptional opportuni
ties that have come to him in Hawaii
that he is sometimes able to grace the
most select social functions. Last
week I attended a reception at Oahu
College, given to the new President
and his wife. There, among the elite
of the city, I saw Chinese and Japan
ese men and women, some in their
national costumes." Thus you have
it. Already the attempt is !>egun to
"assimilate" the yellow devil. As if
Pacific Coasters cannot read the char
acter of the dragon worshipers, from
the atrocities committed upon white
men and women in the late war, if not
from the leprous creatures which pol
lute the country and afford a striking
evidence of their degeneracy at leper's
island in the Hawaiian group.
MOKE FOLLY, J»Y THE AUTHOR OF
"IN HIS STEPS."— Dr. Chas. M. Shel
don, that eccentric preacher, who last
year tried to edit a paper as Christ
would conduct it, if he might come
down to earth and undertake that
job, has again made himself notorious,
by insisting upon walking from a
Clinton street church, in Brooklyn, to
Carnegie Hall, Manhattan, and keep
two engagements, because he was op-
I«osed to tho Sunday service of cars
and vehicles of all kinds, and would
not, therefore, ride in them. The con
sequence was that he was an hour late,
and kept an impatient congregation
waiting, and it is now a question with
him whether tho suppressed profanity
of his auditors was not a greater in
fraction of morality than would have
been a Sunday ride in the cars. Some
men are too good for Earth and should
be translated to their heavenly home
before making themselves ridiculous
in sight of their fellow men or bring
ing sacred things into ridicule.
THURSTON county deserves to re

EIGHT distinct shocks of earthquake
were felt at Jacksonville, Ga., on the
31st ult. They came at intervals of
from a few minutes to half an hour,
and although the tremors were quite
severe no damage has been reported.
ALL the Presidential candidates
voted last Tuesday, and while it can
not be charged that either voted for
himself, it is safe to say that each
voted for the electors favorable to him
self.
IT IS evident that His Accidency
had his sphincter muscle in good order
when he voided over the heads of
friend and foe in the late contest.
ONLY four States have a larger ma
jority majority than New York city.
Funeral Reforms.
There are some funeral customs (
still prevalent in Olympia, which ueed ;
reforming; and the members of the
a ,
Ministerial Association, being ap
pealed to for an expression of their
opinion, have unanimously agreed
upon the following statement of their
views, which they request may be pub
lished in the city papers:
AS TO THE TIME OK UNHEALS.
Except in case of absolute neces
sity, funerals ought not to be held on
the Lord's Day, because of the inter
ference witli church attendance and
because the minister's regular duties
on that day demand nil his time and
strength without this addition.
AS TO EXPOSING THE CORPSE TO PUBLIC
VIEW AT FUNERALS.
It is natural and right that friends
should wish to take a last look at one
whom they loved in life; but the time
of service is not the proper one for
this purpose; and it is unnatural and
abhorrent to all right feelings that
the mortal remains of our dear ones
be made a show for the curious and
for those who have a morbid desire to
look upon the dead, even bringing
children to stare with idle curiosity
while mourners' hearts are breaking.
When the services are begun let
them be continued without any un
necessary interruption until dust is
committed to dust.
AS TO SERVICES AT THE GRAVE.
The funeral services conclude with
the Benediction, when all but those
designated to seo to the placing of
llowers or other decorations on the
finished mound should retire.
The mourners should be spared the
pain of seeing and hearing the earth
fall into the grave, and all should be
relieved from the risk of further and
altogether unnecessary exposure,
which, not infrequently, make one
funeral the direct cause of others.
It is not expedient that men should
remove their hats and stand uncovered
as this lias proved a fruitful cause of
illness. A partial uncovering or bow
ing of the head during prayer is all
that a proper respect requires.
WAIT a few mouths aud we'll have
the satisfaction of placing this cut at
the head of a column of events that
were forecast by the STANDARD in the
late campaign:
"TOLD YOU SO!"
BKYAN carried in tho late election
Alabama, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida,
Georgia, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Ne
vada, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Mc-
Kinley, California, Connecticut, Illi
nois, Indiana, lowa, Kansas, Maine,
Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan,
Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jer
sey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio,
Oregon, Pennsylvania, Khode Island,
South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Wash
ington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and
Wyoming, giving him 292 electoral
votes, to 155 for Bryan. Nebraska in
doubt.
ACCORDING to a report just made by
the Navy Department the navy of the
United Stales is now the sixth in point
of numbers and fighting power on the
world's list of navies. England has a
total of 637 warships built or building,
France has 417, Russia 332, Germany
245, Italy 229 and the United States
153. But a fact worth noting is that,
as to the number of ships now being
built, the United States stands right
next to England and ahoad of all the
other great navy-building nations of
Europe.
TRUE to their expansion policy the
Mark Hanna and McKinley gang, at
the late election, in this State, an
annexed the Rogers-Snively gang and
tho genuine, loyal Democracy are to
be congratulated that they are now rid
of the corrupt crowd.
A LONDON cablegram of the 7th
inst. says that the people of England
are pleased over the result of the late
election in this country. Of course
they are. Who could expect it to be
otherwise?
IT is estimated that it will take an
even hundred million dollars to run
the city of New York the coming
year. The Empire City never does
anything by halves, however.
THE idiotic wheelbarrow bets are
now being paid. The penalty in such
wagers is on both parties, and the one
looks as foolish riding, as the other
does playing " horsey."
WHY couldn't the census enumera
tion of the United States have been an
even 80,000,000? It would have been
so much easier remembered than 76,-
295,220.
IT is claimed that tho Republicans
will have a majority of 51 in the lower
branch of Congress and a total of 49
in the Senate.
IF BOSS Hanna could substitute the
full " Growler" for the full dinner
pail, he would make votes in some
quarters.

A novel feature was introduced into
the campaign at Colfax this year. It
is a contest between single women
and heads of fumilies as to who shall
have deputy and clerk positions in
the Auditor's office. Mr. Corner, the
incumbent and Republican nominee
for his own successor as County Audi
tor, has had his office tilled with
young women as deputies and clerks.
Home of these are daughters of wealthy
parents. Mr. Corner introduced a
novel method of getting votes in 1898,
when be was elected to this position.
He promised a number of young wo
men that if each of them got him
twenty votes they should have posi
tions in his office. The young wo
men went to work with a will, a la
church fair, and induced young men
and their friends to vote for Mr.
Corner. This year these young wo
men, or some of them, wrote letters
and cards soliciting votes for Mr.
Corner. A neat envelope was used
and in this was placed the enrds of
Mr. Corner and \V. J. Windus, Re
publican nominee for County Treas
urer, and the envelope was mailed ton
voter. One of these addressed to a
young man in ono of the towns of
Whitman county contained these two
cards, and on Mr. Corner's card was
written in a woman's handwriting the
significant words: " A word to the
wise is sufficient." This was signed by
one of the women deputies in the
Auditor's office. The young man to
whom it was mailed handed it to Mr.
Rabv, the Democratic nominee, with a
promise to vote for Mr. Raby for
Auditor, and told him how the present
Auditor was electioneering. Demo
cratic campaign committee took ad
vantage of this knowledge and de
clared that deputies and clerks shall be
heads of families and people who need
the positions and that " the offices
shall not be filled with young women
who ought to he at home learning
to make bread."
