Seattle Putt Inutlifanctr Oct. 4: Allot
the delegate, from the cities which u
pired to be the capital of the new state
have hied themselves to their respective
homes. A search yesterday among the
haunt* of these late inhabitants of the
city failed to discover a single one. It ia
supposed by some that the boomers of the
capital aspirant* have found rest and
peace in the blue water* of Puget sound,
but these surmise* are only whispered
around and as yet have gained no general
circulation. At any rate, whatever has
become of them, they sorely needed and
are probably taking the rest they so bad*
ly needed, for they were the hardest work
ing individuals in the campaign. But,
unlike the county and state officers, whose
fate are settled for “better or for worse,"
the capital agitators are in for another
fight in two years, which will doubtless
be as spirited as the one just closed.
One of the hard workers for Olympia, a
man who was “thick" with the delegates
from that city, said yesterday:
“Yes, we are sure of the first place for
capital, but have given up the hope of a
majority. Next time we will have a sore
thing, lor the reeult attained was really
better than we expected."
“Did Olympia spend much money
here?”
“No; there wasn’t any to spend to speak
of. Wliat waa spent was private money."
A North Yakima man, speaking about
the capital matter, said:
"We have given up the race for first
place at this election, and are now anx
ious to know whether Yakima will stand
second or third. We made asqnare, hon
est fight and gained lots of friends. Un
like the other capital aspirants, we did
not make a personal fight. North Yaki
ma was handicapped by the report'circu
lated all around that the Northern Pacific
railroad was pushing that place for the
capital. It is needless to say that there
is no truth to the report.
"North Yakima will make a renewed
effort next election, and will surely crowd
Olympia pretty hard, even if she don’t
succeed in changing the capital.”
A friend of Ellensburg said: "We will
come in second when the count is finished.
The result has been a surprise to many,
and next time we will give them another
surprise. Ellensburg is in the race till we
get the capital."
He list It at Last.
Among the passengers on the St. Louis
express yesterday, says an exchange, was
a woman very much overdressed, accom
panied by a bright looking nurse-girl and
a self-willed, tyrannical boy of about 3
years.
The boy aroused the indignation of the
passengers by his continued shrieks and
kicks and screams, and bis viciousneas
towards his patient nurse. He tore her
Itonnet, scratched her hands, and finally
spat in her face, without a word of re
in onstance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness the mother chided her sharply.
Finally the mother oompoeed herself for
a nap, and about the time the boy had
slapped the nurse for the fifth time, a
wasp cams sailing in and flew on the win
dow of the nurses seat. The boy at once
tried to catch it.
The nurse caught his band and said
coaxingly:
“Harry musn’t touch. Bog will bite
Harry.”
Harry screamed savagely and began to
kick and pound the nurse.
The mother, without opening her eyes
or lifting her head, cried out sharply:
“Why do you tease that child so, Mary ?
Let him have what he wants at once.”
“But ma’am, it’s—”
“Let him have it, 1 say!”
Thus encoorged, Harry clutched at the
wasp and caught it. The scream that
followed brought tears of }oy to the pas
sengers’ eyes.
The mother awoke again.
“Mary!” she cried, “let him have it.”
Mary turned in her seat and said, con
fusedly:
“He'sgotrtt, ma’am!”

The Australian ballot system haa been
tried in Montana and found eminently
practical. Ita adoption all tbrongb the
states is a mere matter of time and we
sincerely hope that the first session of
Washington’s legislature will be memora
ble by ita adoption. By this system all
candidates names are printed on the same
ticket, which is marked by the voter in a
private box, erected (or that purpose in
the polling booth. The voter is forced to
record his choice apart from the prying
eyes of boll-dosing politicians, and when
his ballot is dropped into the box, no mao
knows (or whom the vote has been cast.
This Australian ballot system is fast be
coming the electoral system of all coun
tries and it la extraordinary that it has
not been adopted in the United States be
fore this. Like Civil Service Reform,
however, the wire pollers do not like it,
but it is bound to win all the same.

Toronto Mail: Kaiser William’s re
cent appointment of his grandmother,
Queen Victoria, to the chief command of
one of hla cavalry regiments lias been
ridiculed in some quarters, but those who
knew the standing of tliat regiment in
the German army can well understand
how high a compliment was thus paid
her majesty, A sketch of the history
of the First Guard Dragoons is
given in the September number of the
Nineteenth Century by Colonel tansdale
Hale. The regiment, together with two
others of s similar character, was formed
in 1815 by King Frederick William the
Third from the three national cavalry
regiments in place of the existing light
cavalry regiments, in order, as the king
said, “not only to give to the provinces to
which these regiments belong, and to
which they owe their origin, a fresh
proof of my kindly feelings toward them,
and which they deserve,but also to testify
my satisfaction with the spirit shown by
the Light Guard Cavalry regiments dur
ing the war." The three regiments thus
formed were the Guard Lancers, the
Guard Dragoons, and the Guard Hussars.
The men and horses were selected with
special care, those of the former who bad
received the Iron Cross being first chosen,
and the preference then given to any who
bad served during the war. The Drsgoqn
regiment did no fighting until 1888, but
from the first it was always regarded as
an admirable school for soldiering, and
was a special favorite with the sovereign.
For two years it was commanded by the
late Prince Frederick Charles, in 1847 by
Prince WaMemar of Prussia, and in 1854
the late emperor was attached to it for the
purpose of receiving training in cavalry
duties. At the time of the reorganisation
of the German army in 1800 a second
guard dragoon regiment was formed, the
old one being given the title of First
Guard Dragoons. The latter received its
baptism of fire at Koniggrats, where it
distinguished itself by furiously charging
the Austrain lancer regiment of the Em
peror Alexander.
But the fame of the First Guard Dra
goon regiment rests chiefly upon its bril
liant acbievment at Mars-la-Tour in 1870.
At one stage cf the great battle at that
point, on August 10, the fate of the right
wing of Prince Frederick Charles’ army
hung for a time in the balance. The
Fourth French corps had driven back with
terrible slaughter, that portion of the Ger
man line opposed to it, and two infantry
regiments fol!owing.op the attack, were
forcing the Germans pell-mell into the
valley from which they had issued dur
ing the day. The situation was the most
critical when, as a last resort, word was
sent to Count von Branderburg 11., who
was in command of the guard cavalry
division, to charge the French with his
brigade. He answered that the First
guard dragoon regiment was Uie only part
of his brigade with him, and that he could
not hope to succeed against the unbroken
masses of the French infantry unless
left to choose the moment for the charge.
The reply of the general was, "Your regi
ment may, it is true, not succeed, but If it
delays the enemy for ten minutes, and
falls even to the last man, it will have
fulfilled Its task and duty.” The count
thereupon gave the order and the regi
ment, after galloping a short distance par
allel to the enemy’s line, turned sharply
and under a heavy fire of infantry from
the front and of mitrailleuses from the
left flank, threw itself headlong upon the
advancing masses. It penetrated the
hostile line, throwing it into confusion
with the result that it retired to its old
position, and the day was saved. But of
of the First dragoons five-sixths of the of
ficers, a third of the men, and half of the
horses were killed and pounded. Of the
former the only unharmed survivors were
three second lieutenants. The colonel
was mortally wounded, and the second in
command and the three squadron leaders
killed. As the survivors gathered togeth
er after the charge the colonel, greeting
them with a cheer for the king, sank
from his horse and in a few hours later
was dead. In 1872 the emporor, when
inspecting the regiment, said: "If this at
tack had not been made who knows
whether we might have been here.” It
was a brilliant feat, worthy to be classed
with the famous charge of the light brig
ade at Balaklava, and in making her
majesty chief of the First guard dragoons
the Emperor William has done her as
great honor as be has the regiment.

“Nov that the constitution ia adopted,
how will the fact that Washington is a
state be recognised by the general govern
ment?" was a question put to Hupreme
Justice-elect John P. Hoyt by a Beattie
Preu reporter.
“It ia an interesting question, and the
mode of proceed ore is as follows," replied
Justice Hoyt. “The returns of the vari
ous counties, as soon as they are all in,
are canvassed by the county auditor, pro
bate judge and another county officer, and
if found to be correct are forwarded to the
territorial secretary.
“When all the returns are In, the sec
retary of the territory, the governor and
chief Justice, or any two of than, will
proceed to canvass the returns, together
with a statement of the votes cast for the
constitution, and upon the separate ar
ticles thereof. Then it shall be forwarded
to Washington to the president."
“Will it be forwarded by messenger or
by mail?"
"As there is no provision providinf lor
the payment of a messenger, I presume
that our constitution will be confided to
the care of Uncle Sam’s mails under the
protection of a registered package. The
president will examine the organic law of
the state Of Washington, and if it is re
publican In form and if the provisions of
the enabling act have been complied with
in the formation, the president will issue
a proclamation announcing the result.
Thereupon the state of Washington shall
be declared admitted into the Union by
congress under virtue of the enabling act.
It shall stand on an equal footing with
the original states from and after the date
of the issuance of the proclamation.’'
"How soon do yon think it will be,
judge, before the president wiU issue his
proclamation?”
"It is possible it may be issued in a
month, but it may take longer.”
Commissioner of Public Lands Forrest
will have charge of a small empire of
land, as the donations of the general cov
ernment to the state of Washington have
been very liberal. The donations are as
follows:
For the establishment and maintenance
of a scientific school, 100,000 acres; lor
state normal schools, 100,000 acres; lor
public buildings at the state cspital, in
addition to that already granted, 100,000
acres; for state, charitable, educational,
penal and reformatory institutions, 200,-
000 acres; total, 500,000 acres.
A paragraph in section 14 of the ena
bling act, says: "And such quantity of
the lands authorised by the fourth sec
tion of the set of July 17, 1854, to be re
served for university purposes in the ter
ritory of Washington, as, together with
lands confirmed to the venders of the ter
ritory by the act of March 14,1886, will
make the full quantity of 72 entire sec
tions, are hereby granted in like manner
to the state of Washington for the pur
pose of a university in said state. None
of the land granted in this section shall
be soli tor leas than $lO an acre, but may
be leased.”
All the lands granted are to be selected
under the direction of the secretary of the
interior from surveyed, nnsnrveyed and
unappropriated public lands of the United
States.

Seattle Preu: South Dakota has adopt
ed the constitutional prohibition clause
by a majority of about 8000. This great
preponderance of sentiment will certainly
exert a powerful influence in the strict
enforcement of the law. The friends of
prohibition there have a good opportunity
to prove whether or not they can enforce
prohibition more successfully than is done
in the other prohibition states. The result
will be of especial interest in the state o4
Washington, and the success or substan
tial failure of prohibition in Sooth Dakota
will not have a remote effect upon the
cause here.
The experience of many of the great
states of the Union that decline to adopt
prohibition is that former regulations of
the liquor traffic led to abuses which de
msnded correction, the only difference of
opinion between the prohibitionists and
anti-prohibitionists being the character of
this correction.
In Washington the same abuses exist,
and unquestionably the preponderance of
public sentiment is in favor of some more
stringent regulations than are now en
forced. The republican party most (ace
this condition of offairs, and prove that it
is able to correct existing abuses by a
method other than by prohibition.

Carson Appeal; In 1882 Charley Laugh
ton was nominated for lieutenant-gov
ernor by the Reno state convention.
Laughton wae a young man without any
special experience in the affairs of state,
and the point was made that he lacked
the age and gravity. It was predicted
that lie would be beaten. He immedi
ately went to work on hie own hook and
made his campaign after the most origi
nal methods.
Charley was a phenomenal violinist,
and could do more tricks on the fiddle
than anybody else in the diggin’s, and
putting his fiddle under hie arm started
off one morning, telling his wife he would
not be beck until he was certain that he
had claused up his fight.
Not much more was heard of Laughton
for some time. He did not haunt the
beaten paths frequented by the campaign
ers, but took to the little logging and min
ing camps. He would scatter a lev hand
bills announcing that he would speak at
the red schoolhonae from 8 to 0 and play
the fiddle for the girle to dance from 10 to
12, admission free.
This sort of announcement alrays
drew a crowd, and Charley would open
his speech something like this:
Ladies and gentlemen: About a week
ago I ascertained tliat the regular cam
paign speakers of both parties, as well m
the candidates, had decided to give thk
place the go-by, because it was a small
place and a few miles offtheregular high
way of campaign.
Mr. Chairman, no place ia am all in my
eye* where the heartaoflt* people beat in
sympathy tor the prosperity and advance
ment of Nevada, where a woman reaches
her loveliest perfection [applause], where
men are natural born thoroughbreds
[cheers), and where every intelligent vo
ter deposits bis ballot on election day for
the safety of the battle-born state [cheecs{
and the regular republican ticket (Tu
multuous applause.)
Charlie was a graceful talker, and he
■oon had hit audience. He knew when
to talk and when to quit, and never bored
bia crowd, and when 9 o’clock came and
he laid aside campaign talk and began to

He would tell the beys to olsar away

so hs was giving bis andisnee the melt
ing strains of “Trovatore” la a style that
they had seldom heard before, and every
sweep of his bow, as the boys, used to
say, “hit them where they lived.”
By the time the floor was cleared the
audience knew that the man at the bow
was no “slouch,” and when the strains
of the miserie died away sad the applause
that followed it, he would call out:
“Partners for the basket quadrille,”
and in s few moments more be would be
Addling a merry tune, while the floor be
low him was all action and gaiety. Above
the shuffle of the feet and the lively Jump
of the music his voice would sound clear
and loud: “Side couples forward,”
“Gents circle to the left, etc., etc., until
midnight. Then the boys and girls would
beg him to ran the dance “one hour
more.”
“Do you guarantee me a republican
majority in this town!” be would ask, as
be tuned the E string.
“We’ll carry ’er for you two to one,
would be the response, and the dance
would go on until about daylight

He wound up in the big towns on the

I have been troubled many years with
weakness of tbe kidneys and have tried
many different remedies, sought aid from
different physicians and even changed
climates to obtain relief, but have met
with indifferent success. Hearing through
a friend of tbe value of the Oregon Kid

rived more benefit from anything else I
have found yet J. T. Herr.

One of thoee curious statiatical articles
■ designed to show that the rich are grow*
ing richer and the poor poorer appeara in
■ the Forum. It waa written by Tbomae
, Q. Shearman in eapport, it ie to be pie-
I earned, of what are called ringle-tax
I theories. To show bow all the wealth of
■ this country la falling into the bande of
I only a few persons, it contains the follow*
- ing table:
W poisons at umjmjm

It will be seen i’-at, according to Hr.
, Shearman, more than half the wealth of
, the country la in the hands of only about
. 28,000 persons. Thin seems startling,
. though the calculation is no doubt some
. what exaggerated. Moot very rich men
, are credited by common report with at
. least twice ae much ae they pomees; and
, Mr. Shearman appears to be sufficiently
endowed with the imaginative faculty to
, make the moat of his opportunity; bat
! reduce hia calculation by one-half, and
say that half the wealth of the country is
. in the hands of 60,000 persons, the declar
. ation will still sound startling, but let ue
, see if it really hsaany significance. Ilia
, a common error to make estimates on ae*
i cumulated wealth and not open incomes.
Grant that half the wealth of the country
is in the hands of 28,000 persons, and
than see what follows: The interest on
$91,000,000,000 at 6 per cent would be
$1,860,000,000; but what lathe total of
, incomes in this country 7 On the founds
, tion of the last census report we may ee*
, timate at 20,000,000 the number of per
sons mysgod in gainful occupations at
this time. Place the average earnings of-,
all these persons at only $lO a weak, or
SBOO a year, and what kind of n earn do
we have to figure out? Their total earn
ing* will be $10,000,000*000 *t the end of
the year. It will be aeon la thiacalcula-
Uon that the importance of the million
aire shrinks away. But the total of in*
, comes In the United States is more near
ly twenty thousand millons than ten mil
lions a year. Again, what would it avail
tha persons engaged in gainful
occupation* could they divide up among
themselves tha seemingly large total of
$1,800,000,000 drawn by the 25,000 rich
, men? It would give them S9O additional
apiece—that is to say, instead of having
to be content with SSOO a year, they would
have SBOO a year, a sum suggestive at
least of a slow progress out of their pover
ty. They would learn to expend the ad
ditional S9O as they expended the original
SSOO, and they would remain as poor os
ever. Here la the trouble with almost all
our social reformers. They do not seem
to comprehend that income is the basis of
all wealth, and that the man with the
largest income is potentially the richest
man. In their conception wealth seems
to he an abstraction of non># kind entire
ly superior to earning capacity. This is
the that vitiates all their
philosophy and turns their rhetorical flour
ishes into nonsense. Bat what would it
prove If it were true that hall of the wealth
of the United States laheUby 95,000 par
eons? Go back to the age of William the
Conqueror, and wa find that all the
wealth of England was practically held by
one man, the personage who stood as the
representative cl the state. Daring the
reign of King! John a few score more of
the inhabitants of the realm succeeded in
making themselves property holders, and
the struggle for pnaeo—inn hat been going
on ever since. If we have finally reached
a condition in this country where It takes
28,000 men to own one-half of the nation
al wealth and eight or ten millions of
men to own the other half, we ore mak
ing good progress. We might do better,
yet we are getting ahead ae fast as human
stupidity will permit.—New York Btm.
