Natural Selection.

Investigators of natural science have de.
monstrated beyond controversy, that through
out the animal kingdom the Survival of the
fttest" is the only law that vouchsafes thrift
and perpetuity. Does not the same principle
govern the commercial prosperity of man.?
An inferior cannot supersede superior arti-
Gle. Illustrative of this principle are the fam
lily medicines Of R. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of Butfa-
10, n. Y: BY reason o. superior merit, they
have outrivaled all other medicines. Their
sale in the United States alone exceeds one
million dollars per annum, while the amount
exported foots up to several hundred thous-
and more. No business could grow to such
gigantic proportions and rest upon any other
basis than that Of merit. It is safe to say that
no medicine or combination of medicines yet
discovered equals or can compare with DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical discovery, for the
cure of coughs, colds, and all pulmonary
and blood affections. If the bowels be con-
stipated and liver sluggish, his Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets will give prompt relief; while
his Fsvorite Prescription will positively, per-
fectly, and permanently, cure those weakness
es and "dragging- down" sensations peculiar
to females. In the Peoples Common Sense

A Eu,.ea fora s,xnen CO.

A firm in New York seems unfamiliar with
the London story of the man who offered to
sell real guineas at q triRe, but could find no
buyers. Geo. P. Rowell & Co.,-the News
paper Advertising Bureau" propose for one
hundred O. dollars, to put ten-line adver-
tisement in some thirty standard weeklies, and
to slide it into a thousand other weeklies free.
Do they expect people to take the otter? Any
one acquainted with the high rates Of these
ridiculous. Rowell & Co. must know very
well that acceptances of the offer would be so
many items to charge to profit and loss. We
retract our insinuation about their ignorance
of that London story. They probably know
it too well, and are shrewd enough, by taking
advantage of that human trait at which the
story hits, to make stroke for fame as men
of startling liberality, and at the same time
run no risk Of pecuniary loss.

Ny Mother.

Back through the lapse Of lonely years,
OF light and shade, and bitter tears,
seem to hear
My II others voice, soft, sweet and low
My II Others voice, all! we'll know
Its cadence dear.
OFT sitting, when the night bird wings
His homeward flight, and softly sings
A plaintive song,
Then memory waves her magic wand,
And summons from the silent land
Dear ones long gone. e. ~-.
Again stand by mothers knee,
Again her sainted face see,
As in a dream. ~.-g
Then asks my heart, with voice Of tears,
For her; alas the sad, sad years
Lie dark between.

On wings of light cleave realms OF time,
Come thou to me
If fer only a little space,
That may look on thy dear face,
One moment see,

Which darby rolls its Stygian tide
From shore to shore;
Silent and deep through lonely years,
Swollen with bitter farewell tears

Till in tlat grand, immortal sphere,
Where sorrows cease,
We meet and;on thy loving breast
My weary head shall be at rest

NUMBER So.


1t is oserved by the eastern press
that there is now remarkable move
ment from other pursuits to farming;
but such a movement is by no means
new in the history of this country.
We are reminded that similar ones
have taken place about the time of
every financial revulsion or collapse.
The records of the land office for the
year 1886 show the enormous sum of
S24,SH,1i9 received from sales of
public lands; and again after the
panic of 1857 the sales were enor-
mously increased. Production had
been thrown out of balance, and it
became necessary to restore the equi-
librium by changing from other pur-
suits to those of agriculture. 1t is
much the same way now. But the
readiustmenti in this instance has been
put off longer. Three reasons are
given for it. One is that when the
panic of 1873 occurred the working
men of the country were better off
than ever before. Their necessities
did not force them at once into agri-
culture. The second reason is that
they were not so well fitted for agri-
cultural life as were the men of for
mer years. Most Of them had no
knowledge of farming and less taste
for it. \ third reason was that the
region Of good farming lands had
moved much further west. Dema-
gogues moreover had persuaded many
of the workingmen that it was not
necessary to attempt to do anything
for themselves; and they held on,
hoping vaguely for the relief or the
better times through additional issues
of greenbacks. But now it is mani
fest that large numbers are giving up
the delusion and are betaking them
selves to the public lands.

Ditch Company Incorporated.

Messrs. J. freeman and Jas. Imbrie
of Washington county and Mr.. Polly
of Yakima have formed a Joint stock
company with capitol Oslo, 900 for
the purpose of digging ditch forir-
rigating agricultural lands in Wash
ington Territory. This ditch is to be
taken out of the Yakima river on the
east side three miles below Yakima
City and carried upon the "second
bench" and viii be made Il feet wide
and feet deep, the capacity being
about 5000 inches. The first 100
rods will be very heavy digging
through grave cement to fetch water
from the river bed upon the second
bench, after VIII ch it will be compara-
lively easy WORK. This second bench
is nearly Level plateau from three
to forteen miles wide and seventy
miles long and is covered with sage
brush. This land when irrigated
produces from so to 100 bushels of
oats to the acre. But little of it has
been taken up Messrs. Freeman
and Imbrie have a large enter
prise in this ditch but it will pay in
time.

Idalho's Gain.

The saying that "Tis an i'll wind
that blows nobody good" is verified
by the following item. \ few days
since we mentioned the fact that a
number of immigrants were at Boise
City, waiting for the Indian troubles
to quiet down in order to proceed to
the Lower Columbia and Sound coun-
try. 1t shows the gain of Idaho:
There are now between three and
five hundred immigrants camped near
Boise City who have arrived within
the past few days. These people
were destined for the lower country,
and during the time spent here wait
ing for the Indian troubles to subside
in the Blue mountains, they have
had the opportunity of looking about
and examining some of our beautiful
valleys. So favorably have they be-
come impressed with the resources
presented that majority of the
above number have wisely concluded
to remain and find homes in Idaho.
They are receiving kind treatment
and proper encouragement from all
quarters, and will prove valuable ad- ,
ditions to the population of the coun-
try. The immigration thus far is
but the advance guard of what is to
come. 1t is the duty of all to bid
them welcome, and give them all in
formation possible in relation to the
resources of this wonderful country
no matter whether they remain in
Idaho or come down the Columbia.
As yet comparatively little is known
of the Sound country outside its own
boundaries; and to usit seems strange
that steps are not taken to presentits
advantages and superior inducements
to those coming toward this land of
the setting sun. Washington Terri
tory must have at least one metrop-
oils which in time will rival that of
the Golden State, and as there are so
many natural sites for such city,
it is strange that the people of those
places do not raise up and assert their
claims in such a manner as to bring
enterprise and capitol within their
limits. If they depend upon the
easy flow of time and circumstances
to bring them these things, years will
glide along as evenly as in the past,
making but slow Improvement as
they pass. In these days attention
must be attracted by blowing your
own horn, and that in blasts loud and
long.-Eh

WORDS FOR THINKING PEOPLE.

The following extract from an ex-
change gives food for thought, not
only to property holders but to labor
ing men, workmen of all classes, and
to oilers as well. 1t is concise state
ment of facts that experience will es-
tablish the truth of:
1t is getting to be very disgraceful
now, it even borders on infamy, for a
person to have much of anything
Years of prudence, sobriety, industry
and economy are years spent very i'll.
Almost every man earns enough by the
time he has arrived at middle age to
afford him competence, if he would
only avoid spendthrift habits and save
it, Some do manage their income
carefully, and after many years they
naturally are in easy or comfortable
circumstances. But then they are OBJ
jects of the envy and hostility of others
who have never acted with like discre-
ton. 1t becomes crime to have
houses to rent or money to lend, or to
exact payment of debts and the hust-
ings resound with the harangues of
orators who denounce property and in
sist that government shall interpose
with legislation in behalf of those who
have never learned through lessons of
economy and self-denial to legislate for
themselves.
Now they talk of legislation which
shall force men to employ capital i'll
setting up establishments that shall
give employment to labor and help the
country. And those who have money
so invested are to be forced by law to re-
duce their profits, under mistaken
notion that somehow the workingman
will be aided by policy which would
prevent his employer from making
anything. This doesn't take into ac-
count the fact that no labor will be
employed if gains cannot be made by
it; and, as a general thing, the more
prosperous an employers business the
better are the wages paid. Complaint
is made that capital is not seeking in
vestment in industrial enterprises, but
is going into Government bonds. That
it does so is largely owing to the spirit
of communism in many parts of the
country, which threatens the existence
or the income of property in mills,
factories or other establishments. The
torch may annihilate this species of
property, as it has done in many east
ern cities; but the Government bond
is felt to be a sure thing, and the four
per cent. interest, with exemption
from taxation, makes it about as good
an investment as can now be found.
Hence the rapidity with which the
new four per cent. loan is being taken.
There is craze now for trying to
do things by legislation or by vapor-
ing speeches. But the time will come
when it must be learned that nothing
can be gained in this way, and that
the only hope is in individual energy
and self-dependence. We are indig-
nant that our Indians are wanting the
Government to take care of them, and
seem unwilling to do anything to help
themselves. But how much better is
the kearney movement!
