Proper Use Of Time.

The proper expenditure of time is
one of these abstruse problems, the
nicely of whose solution has perplex-
ed the wisest and most provident of
men. Time may lie husbanded just
as truly as money may be boarded.
Indeed, the marked similitude be-
tween the two, long ago provoked the
almost trite apothegm, "Time is
money" Considered in this light,
the feeting moments may be regard
ed as SO many little coins of rare
value that go to make up the greater
denominations of days and months
and years.
Unlike most other good things
whose value we misconstrue, time
once lost is irrecoverable. To make
one dollar reproduce another was the
great ultimatum of all the precepts
relating to financial jurisprudence
which noted millionaire left to his
son. But while we cannot, in like
manner, so manipulate one moment
that it shall reduplicate itself, we can
crowd it to repletion with goodly
thoughts. words and deeds, and thus
become the recipients of Legitimate
sort of usury from the time-invest-
ments we have made. The great
secret of utilizing time is to use it as
sharp lawyer uses a witness, viz.
to get all out of it that there is in it.
An eminent moralist has observed
that duty never calls in two direc-
tons at once. Relying upon this
dictum as an infallible foundation
principle, both young and old will
find it of great service in assisting
them to a proper system of expend-
iture of their waking hours. ga
time for everything, and everything
in its time" is rule which suffices
for every emergency that can posi-
bly, arise in the usual affairs of a
business man. God himself has es-
tablished programme in the opera
tons of nature from which he never
deviates. "First. the blade, then
the ear, after that the full corn in
tho ear" Be it instinct, so-called,
or a rudimental type of reason, it
matters little, something has, indeed,
taught the lower animals to be strict
observers of times and seasons, and
it is a standing rebuke to our own
species that the brute and insect
world never lacks, through IMPROVE
dence, for those things provided for
its sustenance. In Holy Writ, per.
sonified Wisdom refers the lazy man
to The ant for instruction, and
pungently chidss him for his criminal
waste OF time.

The LEWIS COUNTY FAIR. We had
the pleasure of being present at the
opening of the county fair at Cheha-
lis, last Wednesday. Although the
inclement weather kept many exhib-
itors at home and caused neral
feeling of disappointment among
those having charge of its manage
ment, the exhibit of fruits and veg
etables was very creditabIe, and
when we left, Thursday noon, there
was every prospect that it would
prove even more of a success than
that of last year. We regret that
time and space will not admit of
more extended comments in this is
sue, but we propose, next week, to
allude in detail to the many objects
of attraction that came under our OBJ
servation. We can now only tender
our heartfelt thanks to the officers of
the Fair for the many courteous at
tentions shown us during our visit.
The people of Lewis county for gen.
nine hospitality, cannot be excelIed
by any community.

1t ID . question we'll worth Q care
ful consideration, whsthes OF not
there ID any sueh thing. in the alb
stract, as poverty. A recent French
writer makes il all an id~. c.lv. In
the outset, We must carefully discrim-
mate between poverty and pauper-
ism; the two conditions being entire
ly incommensurabie, the one with
the other. Pauperism implies .
nameless misery resulting from the
absence Of every means Of selfsupporf
whatever. . hopeless degradation
from which there is no ~ay Of escape
save by the deliverance offered by
the grave Poverty, on the other
hand, popularity speaking, is only n
relative term after all and hence. a.
we have suggested. kind Of an idea.
VIVA, would be poverty TO one
horn and reared amid the comforts
and luxuries of wealth, would lie q
safe competence &c one who tolls
with his hands for the common nee
essaries of life. When a millionaire
is driven by reverses from brown
stone front tina, cset hundred thou
sand dollars, into pretty cottage,
he calls himself beSgar; and, until
the first pangs of chagrin ATE dissi-
pated by n candid appeal 10 common
sense, he doubtless contemplates a
fashionable suicide.
We care not what mans income
may be, if his expenses do not fall
below it, he is poor in the trucst ac-
ceptation of the term. While, on
the other hand, if n common laborer,
in good health, secures daily incre-
ment, and .fastens it, be it never so
small, he is rich in the truest accept
alton of the term. He who lives
within his means usually pays as he
goes; while his neighbor who falls
never pays. 1t is q point
we'll taken, that ordinary competence
is within the reach of all, while |
financial ruin is imminent to all. It
will be seen, then, that there is,
after all, certain degree Of propri-
ETY. and consistency in the principle
assumed that poverty, and we may
add wealth as we'll, is only an idea.
A true philosopher is never poor. in
The abstract; but, like the Vicar of
Wakefield, after all his imaginary
Ills, he is a rich man, far exceeding

never yet been improved upon by

to pause and reflect a moment upon the
tendency of the time.
1t Is fortunate that this notice is filed in
season. The nuptials of the money power
and monarchy on this continent are an
nounced in time to forbid the bans. for that
is the marriage that is meant This fury Is
not the fervor of republican love for the
negro, as is pretended. 1t is the thirst
OF the money power for absolute con

that is heralded with unprecented effront-
cry is the force dictated by the banks
When money could not buy votes enough
on the banks of the Tiber, it hired
gladiators to stand at the voting
places, and the great state that was once
mistress OF the world was shivered into frse-
ments. There are idiots and lunatics and
men who can not forget in the south but
they are very few. 1t Is not OF these that
the money power party is afraid, but OF
the masses of the people in all the states.
The bank party sees the handwriting on the
wall, unless IL can summon sectional hate,
the old and buried negro question, the army,
and the most unpatrionc passions to its aid
1t would make the republic itself one

the Summers made, and with which the
Peter COOpers voted, and which have done
humane things in our history, that are pro-

are brutal.

THE people OF the United States are gain
ing a well earned fame by their explorations.
American expeditions into regions OF eternal
ice and snow which surround the north pole,
and more recently Stanley's triumphant
march through Central Africa, have contrl
buted their full share to the fame of Amer
lea for enterprises which require for their
execution abilities of the first Or
der and courage equal to any peril.
Aside from these enterprises Bennett,
OF the New York Herald, proposes
to find the north pole by untried passages
if such thing can be possible and just now
we learn that the Woodruff scientific ex-
petition around the world, which tor some
time past had been lost sight of, is revived,
and the time fixed for its departure from
New York is next May. A magnificent
steamship of 5000 tons burden, formerly
belonging to the German Lloyd Steamship
company, has been furnished, and pronounced
by United States naval authorities, as pro
vided by an act of congress. in all regards
suitable for the expedition. The total num-

broad in its grasp and generous In its pur-
poses. IL sought to revive business, vitalize
industries, reduce the number of idlers, and
inaugurate an era Of national prosperity.
The democratic party set its face as flint
against prohigacy. fraud, public plumber
ing and public thieves. It made no COM
promises with rascality in any OF its
schemes, but sought by every means at its
command to expose rottenness and radical
Encouragement. In these regards the policy
is fixed, aud will not be changed. Looking
to the question of national finances, the
democratic party demanded the remonetiza.
ton Of the silver dollar, and this measure, as
shown by the vote in congress, was so popu-
lar that 1t commanded the support of men
OF all parties, and was resisted only by those
who are owned by the money power, and
from the day the law was passed over
the veto or the presidential fraud, the peo-
pie have expressed no desire for q change;
hence, we conclude that the democrats will
adhere to the silver legislation OF the last
session OF congress. The democratic party
demanded that the present volume OF green
backs should not be reduced, and such Is the
law which commands the support of large
majority of the American people of all par
ties. The conclusion is, therefore, line vitable
that there will be no change In
financial legislation. The indications are
that prompt measures will be taken to COM
pei the banks to modify their hostile atti
tude, and to accept, as a fnality, congress
ionsl authority. John Sherman's Shylock
recommendations will be treated with mer-
lied suspicion, for he is known to be a broker
in the revenues OF the country, and in close
alliance with the money power, which seeks
to dominate In all matters relating
to business. We regard it as for
tunate for the country that the
banks in their manifestoes have.disclosed
their treason, for it enables congress to sp
ply the needed correctives, which will ulti.
mate well for the country. The democratic
party is eminently sound in all matters per-
tanning to finance and BUSINESS as is shown
by the democratic platform Of Indiana,
which will be brought into holder promi-
hence as time passes. So impregnable are
its positions, so wise its teachings
and so eminently in accord with
the welfare of the people that
radicals and their Shylock colaborers dare
not attack it. 1t demands gold, silver and
greenbacks in the aggregate an amount
sufficient to transact the business of the
country. Upon this platform all may stand
and battle for the public welfare.

Coxsr..s AND BUSINESS.

The Forty fifth Congress convenes in few
DAYS for its last session, and as the time ap
proaches discussions and col lectures with
regard to the course OF legislation become
more earnest We are inclined to the opin-
ion that there will be no change Whatever in
the policy of democrats in the house or
senate, for nothing has occurred since the
adjournment warrantlDg a change OF front
or any mod fcstion OF policy In
auy regard. The elections that have
transpired show that the radical party is
steadily losing its bold upon the confidence
of the people. This being true, a brief IT.
view of the situation is not inopportune.
The democra &c party, in every impor,a'
measure that it has brought forward, has
considered the welfare of the whole cyuOtTy.
Tnese measures have been free from section
aIism and above mere partisan sggrandize
ment In seeking to reduce the expenses
Of the government. it has sought TO benefit
men of all parties and of all sections. and
In every department OF business. IL sought
IN arrest contraction of the currency that
failnre in business might cease and the
sbrinkage of values be arrested. This
policy was eminently wise, prudent
and timely. 1t was statesmanshir
