The business prospects of the
country con tinue good, Us will be
seen from various sources: Ames-
bury, Mass, is filing large carriage
orders for California. Nearly all the
Pittsburg glass furnaces are again in
operation. The iron works at SYRIA
cuse report good orders and better
prospect for fair prices. The first
shipment of canned meats and veg
etables from this country to India
was made a few days ago. Birming-
ham, England ,isimporting hay forks,
clocks, apple-parers and clothes
pins from Philadelphia. Different
manufacturing interests in New
York city give evidence of a marked
improvement in trade. For the first
time in her history Baltimore shipped
a cargo of live hogs, 500, to England
on Saturday. To Canadian lumber
men the past Winter has been one
of the most favorable on record for
getting out timber and saw logs. In
Troy, N. Y, the business outlook is
exceedingly bright. All the mills
are running on full time, and every
branch of industry is picking up.
The Lackawanna Iron and Coal
Company have doubled their steel
mill force at Scranton, Pa, to meet
the increased demand for that arti-
Gle.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON TER.
FRIDAY, APRIL IL, 1879.
Exalted Intemperance.

A correspondent of the Cleveland
Leader writes the following lively
account of a bacchanalian scene in
the Senate of the United States:
"DRuxK Aaa1N.-About o'clock this
morning there was another dtsgraceful
drunken scene i'm the Senate. One Sena-
tor was so intoxicated that ne could not
stand up, while half dozen more were
so fuddled that when they got propped
mp against their desks their speeches were
as incoherent as lot OF driveling idiots.
Nothing worse has occurred since the pas
sage of the silver bill, and the crazy
drunk i'm the House during the close of
the last session"
So here is only one of hundred
similar scenes enacted, almost daily,
within or without our legislative
halls at Washington. If members
of Congress are not drunk while in
their seats, they are drunk upon
the streets, in the gaily appointed
saloons or in their richly furnished
rooms.
A gentleman who evidently knows
what he is talking about, having
spent much time in Washington, as
serts that princely fortunes are left
in that city each term of Congress
by that class of officials who belong
to the high living and Incorporate
element. With all these facts her.
aided before the people, we, little
band of devoted workers at home,
are accused of Juggling politics into
our temperance work. simply be-
cause our efforts initiate against all
and everything that is unrighteous
in the administration of our public
and especially our municipal affairs.
If the enemy carries the war into
Africa, we must carry 1t also. When
the whisky element invades our
rights, and seeks to deprive us
of our dearest interests, we must
confront the enemy hand to hand,
irrespective of all outside considera-
tons whatever. No better proof
that we are in the right can be adj
duced than the signal fact that the
religious world of all creeds and de-
nominations are banded together
with US ON the side of what we con-
ceive to be a present and eternal
right, human as well as divine. Our
people may safely conclude, ard the
sooner the better, that the time is
fast approaching when there will be
but two parties in the field, the one
composed of those who are marshaled
on the side of law and order, and
those who swell the noisy ranks of
Bacchus; in word, the right and
the wrong. Let anybody note the
doings of the National Temperance
Association, and the hundreds of
more local societies which are its ac-
tive co.workers, and they will be
convinced that the people are NOV
ing in this matter. It is hopeful and
consoling to know that good and
conservative men and women are a
unit on this all-engrossing question.

Opium Smuggling.

The Treasury Department has un-
der contemplation o plan for break
ing up the opium-smuggling bust
ness between Victoria and this coun-
try. 1t has been ascertained, by
means which the Government well
knows how to employ, that the pro-
duct of the opium factories in Victo-
ria is mainly struggled into the I'M
tied States by way of Washington
Territory and San Francisco. For
years, the Government has found
almost insurmountable difficulties
in the way Of breaking up this illicit
traffic. Every old Puget-Sounder
knows how this work has been car
ried on ever since the first advent of
John Chinaman on Vancouver Is
land. The opium was formerly put
up, at the Chinese houses in Victo-
ria, in little tin boxes, hundred of
which could be carried in and about
q grandfather's waistcoat and over
coat. Various other ways have been
devised for concealing the drug so
as to prevent its odor from revealing
its whereabouts. In the days when
through steamers piled between
this place and Victoria, opium was
secreted in the stuffing of saddles
that were never taken from the backs
of the animals during the round trip
made by cattle dealers. The meth
cd about to be adopted by the Treas
ury Department is quite novelty in
the business of counteracting the eff
fects of smuggling upon ourrevenue.
As q means for the collection of re-
venue on the opium brought into the
country, it is proposed that all pack
ages of the drug shall hereafter be
stamped the same way that cigar
boxes are stamped. In this way, it
is estimated that between three and
four hundred thousand dollars will
he saved to the Government in
year. We once heard q steamer
revenue officer say, years ago, that
not q steamer left Victoria for Sound
ports without having on board thou
sands of dollars worth of opium
slowed away in all conceivable places.
Sometimes it nestled in roll of
shockingly worn blankets which were
thrown upon the main deck as of no
more consequence than the usual
ictas packed around by nomadic In
dams and Cinnamon. The traps and
trumpery of household furniture
was loaded down with the drug, and
on several occasions it was discov-
cred that the coal-bunkers served as
q lurking place for the illicit COM
modify. BY the plan proposed, no
opium can hereafter be exposed for
sale without the containing package
being properly stamped and the
duty, certified by the proper officer
as having beensduly paid. Like oil
other innovations, the plan will have
to be thoroughly tested before safe
verdict can be rendered as to its
ultimate efficacy.

The common method of shipping
potatoes in sacks is likely to be inn
proved upon, and perhaps, entirely
superseded. Potatoes have recent
ly been shipped from the Sound to
the Sandwich Islands packed in APP
pie boxes with holes bored lin the
sides to allow o free circulation of
air. The principal advantage in
this method is, that the potatoes
cannot move among themselves and
thus become seriously bruised by
transportation. The plan is worth
trying.
