800 IN THE MANGER POLICY.
Ellenaburgh has grown desperate. Her
people note the strong sentiment favorable
to North Yakima aa the permanent seat
of government and chafe inwardly and
outwardly. From vainglorious claims
shunt supposed advantages of that place
£ * tbe'cUmate and productions of the great
Yakima country, and the progressive
people who have made their homes here.
It fa now with them not ao much a matter
of gaining the capital as of preventing it
from being removed to North Yakima.
Ungenerous in the extreme, they would
prefer to see it remain where it is rather
than that her slater rity should have it,
and It has even been intimated by some
of her people that her voting ■trwgth
might bo thrown to Olympia. Thin bar
gala may bo oooMmmated, botoho will bo
naabla to deliver tho goods. Tbs ballot
of thoos people of onstorn Washington who
favored BUoosborgh through sympathy
lor hsr disaster by fire, or on account of
personal friendship lor some of her inha
bitants. cannot be bartered and delivered
Hko Inanimate objects Washington has
a progressive people, who cannot be voted
in "blocks of five," and when the ballots
are conoted at the close of the first day of
October it will be found that the favorable
t conditions of Morth Yakima and the
potent reasons why she should become
the permanent capital of this great state
are well under stood and appreciated.

THE state CAPITAL..

nent Spokane Han.
Eorroa Jtri tew; Notwithstanding Con
grcea baa made ample provision* for cap
ital grounds, and the state is not expected
or required to barter away the location of
the seat of government, Ellenaburgh is
showing more than a warrantable seal,
far she has made a bid that can be regard
ed as little other than a bribe, li seems
to me therefrom that her dtisens can
have but a small abiding faith in tb# vir
tue of their assertion that Ellenaburgh is
the one desirable place in Central Wash
ington for the capital, inasmuch as they
by their offer seek to arouse the penurious
greed of the voters of the territory, and
by glittering eflusiooa seek to supply for
Ellenaburgh the painfully apparent abort
ings in natural advantages with its rival
for capital honors. 1 have no pecuniary
interests at stake In the location of the
capital at North Yakima. I have been
neither there nor at El lens burgh, but 1
have taken some pains to inform myself,
and am convinced that North Yakima
possesses superior advantages in ease of
access, in summer and winter climate
(being neither as windy and dusty in
summer nor as snow-bound and cold in
winter) and her mediate end immediate
topography are sufficiently broad and
beautiful to satisfy the moat exacting and
doubting, that here will flourish the gar
den rity of our naturally beautiful state,
whenever Iter ample coffers shall be open
ed far the artificial embellishments of the
site of her capital. Ido not like the idea
or spirit evinced in this Capital Park deal
of Ellenaburgh; made simply for the pur
pose of obtaining a majority vote by the
aid of an active real estate lioom on the
eve of election, to accomplish an object
which in time would be surely regret ed
by the voters of this state, for the place
which is not nor ever will he the most
desirable as the capital seat is Ellens
bnrgh. O. A. Hitch meow.
Spokane Falla, Sept. 16. 1889.
The (iraiM Wm Mar.
North Yakima products were well rep
resented at the Ellensbnrgh convention,
occupying two rooms in the Honolulu
Mock. There were cigars nisniifurtured
from native tobacco, mineral water from
nature's Übrstory near that citv, and im
mense watermelons. which the ungracious
Ellensburghere declared were imported
from Walls Walla lor that ocean ion. —The
Olympian.
No doubt these lusriooe fruits from the
eonny valley of the Yakima bad a sort of
soar and Mtter twang to the palates of
delegatee from Olympia and Ellensbargh.'
and it was real isapu.le.it for the Yakima
hoys to take them there. They appear to I
have gone op to the convention to "see*
the people and eat poaches." as the old
time politicians need to do. sad as they
went into a dime lew favored than their
own, they appear to have taken their
native fruits sad Havanas along with
them. This was rather a seductive way •
of bidding for the state capital.— Spohuit

yourselves as they always do. You all
know perfectly well that it will be moved

that it would be placed here at thia point
