THERE seems to be a doubt after all
as to whether the p. s. Iron Co. will
continue operations at Irondale, or
will move to some other point. The
trouble seems to be in getting enough
land. Parties are mulish enough to
set too high value on their land, and
on rights of way, &c, just because
they think the iron furnace will make
them suddenly wealthy. 1t may be
timely to suggest to such people that
they are in danger of killing the
goose that lays the golden egg" In
other words, their short-sightedness
may cause them to lose all. They
ought to know that the location of
the iron furnace at that place is all
that make their land valuable, and
that if the company is treated in
such picayunish manner as to drive it
to some other locality, their magma
ry values will evaporate at once. A
company that invests so heavily on
our bay, and is likely to carry on
such extensive business here, deserves
to be treated handsomely by every
body, and ought to be giren all the
land it wants, with rights of way, &c.
At least moderate, if not mere nomi-
nal, prices should be exacted. A
word to tho wise is said to be sutfi-
cient. We hope people will act SEN
sibly in this matter There are plen-
ty other places the Iron Company
could locate and it may do so.

One of the best evidences of pros
perity on Puget Sound at present is
the demand for laborers of all kinds.
A shrewd employer recently said that
it was poor recommendation for a
laboring man here these days to be
out of employment-and very few of
them are. In nearly every branch of
employment it is much the same.
The Seattle Chronicle says that 200
girls could get employment in that

The Greenback Party Heard From.

"Dying out" is it?
Haven't heard of the Greenback
party for so long, you thought it was
deadp
Why, you old stoughton bottles,
while you have been curled up around
the comfortable fires, sucking your
claws like grounding in winter, the
Greenbackers have been at work.
While you have been abusing them,
they have been gaining converts by the
thousands.
Wake up, you old mummy, and listen
to the news from Kansas
In franklin County the Greenbackers
took only mine of the fourteen Trustees
elected They would have taken them
all, only they wanted little something
left to work on, as pastine. hereafter.
1t was such a complete victory that
one of the old party papers, the Gazette,
says of it:
"The Greenbackers made a sweep
that was so overwhelming as to make
them unable to account for the result. ="
The best way Ito account for it, !"
probably, is to state that during the
winter the Greenbackers have been al
aoorG. Instead of dying out,'' they
have been sowing Greenback seed. II
stead of sitting round country grocery
stores swapping, ,lies," they have been
around among their neighbors, preach
ing the Greenback gospel.
In Cherokee County the Greenbackers
came very near being "piggish'' enough
to sweep the whole platter clean.
They took eleven out of fourteen Trus-
tees!
The Columbus Times says of the elec
| ton:
In several townships where the Green
| hackers were successful, they were compelled
| to fight a combination of Democrats and Re
publicans. The Republicans were cleaned vi

| The average Greenback majority in that town

In Hill City the Greenbackers elected

| Morlan followed suit, although by ,
smaller majority.
In Bryant the Greenbackers also go
away with all the cake.
Most of the above are items we hav

returns, as published in the local papers
are very encouraging.

A Tableau Viyant.


q Another fracas in the Jones family!
This time it is a little out of the usual
routine and looks rather serious.
Bridget, the one faithful servitOr and
general factotum of the house, has just
taken her vacation of two weeks-semi-
annual-aud gone to visit her sister,
Mrs. Mulkooney, and her last words on
leaving seemed almost prophetic viewed
by the light of subsequent events, as the
historians say. ssYese III be in hape of
thruble afore git back to yese; feel
it in my bones,'' was her valedictory
remark. A successor was installed at
once, however, and things seemed to
jog along about as usual until one un-
lucky day, when Jones took it into his
head to remark to his wife at table as
the dining-room door closed on the new
girl:
"Quite a treasure-not bad-lookipg
girl either, Maria!'
81 don't know what you see good
looking about her, snapped Mrs.
Jones. eff you admire red hair and
freckles and a snub-nose, why then l
suppose she is to your TASTE"
"I didn't say she was good looking,
did l." asked Mr.. J. with dignity, while
secretly quaking in his boots. 81 re-
marked that she was not bad looking,
by which meant evil, vicious, etc. l
couldn't have told you whether her hair
was red or blue!'
He looked so injured that Mrs. Jones
fastened to pacify him, and they parted
the best of friends, and when he had
came home at night he had little sur
prise for his wife, though it wasn't just
what he had planned, as it turned out.
1t was Mrs. J.'s wifely habit to run
down and open the front door when she
saw him coming in the evening, so that
he wouldn't have to sand in the dark
vestibule and tumble for his latch-key.
Jones was in quite festive mood this
evening, owing to "snacks'' with po.
tation after business closed, and as his
wife held the door open he skipped in
and gave her rousing smack that
might have been heard in the next block
"Kitchee-kitchee!" he said, playfully
with one arm around her waist-s.put U
title hand in my overooat pocket and
find title present there"
But the screams that sounded through
the Jones mansion took all the playful
ness out of the unhappy man, and as ht
asked, hollOwly; 'Maria, what does this
meanP" Maria herself appeared in &
glare of light at the top of the stairs and
saw the wretched Jones and the new
girl, and, not realizing that it was all {
dreadful mistake, tainted dead away

managers are making up Presidential
states for 1881. ON the other hand we
see the men who work. and by their
work create wealth, reading and think
ing-and, thank the God of Truth and
Justice, at last roting to preserve their
rights and liberties.
Till these local elections came off we
could not understand why Senator
Plumb, the President of a National
Bank, was making such good Green
back speeches.
The fact is, he has been around
among his constituents " and found
out that Greenbackism had got foot
hold that he dare not undertake to resist.
The Greenback fire on the Kansas
prairies is having a terrible effect, even
in the far-awav halls of Congress.
Both Plumb and Ingalls, hear the dis
tinct and unmistakable roar of the COM
ing political storm-and they are put
ting their houses in order.
Go on with the good work! The COM
ing campaign is going to be one of the
hottest and most uncertain in many
years. The Greenbackers are going to
make greater inroads upon the old par
ties than ever before.
Mark our words.
There are going to be more ''sur-
prises' for the Democratic and Repub-
Gcan managers during the coming cam
paign than they have had for many
years.
Remember, however, that there is
work to do. Remember that it is no
child's play, but that it is the work of
men.
Take off your coats, put your shoul-
ders to the wheel, and once more push
the work! Push it vigorously and en-
| phatically!
We somehow ..feel it in our bones"
that Greenback victory is not far
away.
We feel that the seed that has been
scattered during the past six years is
beginning to bear fruit.
In the fall of the year the farmer sows
his wheat. 1t comes to the surface, and
there is some evidence of the work that
he has done. Then comes the winter
snow and covers it up. No one, unless
he knew, would ever imagine that q
splendid crop of wheat was taking root,
gaining life and energy, ready to spring
forth when the warmer weather came.
So it is with the Greenback seed that
has been scattered broadcast. 1t ha:
been taking root in the heads and heart;
of the people. Because it did not a
once spring to the surface, many have
been discouraged-and when the wintry
snow buried it for a time, the old parties
laughed and said it was buried forever
that it was dead and would never come
to life!
but, so sure as the spring rains anC
the summer sunshine bring forth the
wheat germ that has been lying dorman
beneath the SHOWS of winter, Just so SUR
will light, education and agitation bring
forth fruit for all these hard years 0
Greenback work.
! Don't be discouraged, but on the con
t-ary, grid on your armor, and forwar,
march to victory Chicago Sentinel

The Frozen Tundra.

The northern coast of Siberia, between
Cape Chelyuskin and Behring Strait, is
probably the most barren and inhospit-
able part of the whole Russian Empire.
For hundreds of miles back from the
Arctic Ocean the country consists almost
entirely of great desolate sleppes known
to the Russians as tundras pronounced
toondraS), which in summer are almost
impassable wastes of brownish gray
Arctic moss saturated with wafer, and
in winter trackleSs deserts of snow,
drifted and packed by polar gales into
long, hard, futed waves. The Siberian
tundra differs in many essential partic-
ulars from all other treeleSs plains. In
the first place it has foundation of per-
manently frozen ground. Underlying
| the great moss tundras which border the
Lena River north of Yakut>k there is
everywhere a thick stratum of eternal
fir st, beginning in winter at the surface
of the earth, and in summer at a point
twenty or thirty inches below the surface,
and extending to depth of many hun
dred feet. What scanty vegetation,
! therefore, the tundra affords roots itself
and fuds its nourishment in thin layer
of unfrozen ground-a mere veneering of
arabic soii-resting upon q substratum
five or six hundred feet in depth of per-
manent and impenetrable ice. This
foundation of ice is impervious, of
course, to water, and as the snow melts
in summer the water completely satu-
rates the soil to as great q depth as it
can penetrate, and, with the aid of the
continuous daylight of June and July,
stimulates dense luxuriant growth of
gray Arctic moss. This moss in course
of time covers the entire plain with a
soft, yielding cushion in which a pedes-
trian will sink to the knee without find
ing any solid footing. Moss has grown
out of decaying moss year after year and
century after century until the whole
tundra for thousands of square miles is
a vast, spongy bog. OF other vegetation
there is little or none. a clump of dwarf
berry bushes, an occasional tuft of coarse
swamp grass or a patch of storm and
cold-defying kedrovnik diversifies, per-
haps, here and there the vast brownish-
gray eXpanse; but, generally speaking,
the eye may sweep the whole circle OF
the horizon and see nothing but the sky
and moss.-C0r. N. Y. Herald.
