A COOL and dispassionate listener 10 the
sermons OF the r Y. DR.. Dix, rector Of Trim
y chHrch, New York, writes that she car
ried away the impression that in his view
there is something in the studies themselves
which constitute the curriculum OF the higher
education, which tends to blunt the sense
of deicacy, to yitiate the taste, and to brutify,
so TO speak, the manners. II this is the case
it is astonishing that such institutions as
Vss,ar College, Smith College and Wellesley
College should be go tbronged with
the daughters Of our most cultivated
people, since the studies taught iu
them are, item by item, identical with those
taught 10 the colleges of our own city
Young women fro9 New York could obtain
no doubt, this kind of instruction by resort
ing to those colleges Gas many do), but only
at al unnecessarily increased expense, and
at the sacrifice OF home lie and parental
supervision. But il this sort Of instruction
is all wrong, as DIR. Dix seems to imply, then
his batteries should be opened upon the
founders and patrons of institutions like
these, and not upon the humble supplisnts al
the feet of the trustees of Columbia College.

terprise and discretion, and kept pace
with similar mills on the Sound. q. E.
2. Wood for many years gave it his per-

manager, while the Mastick brothers
lived in Oakland, Cal, on the earnings
of their investment. Since those days
numbering business on the Sound has
undergone wonderful progressive
changes. Port Discovery mill then cut
from 10000 to 10000 feet of lumber per
day-and it was considered doing bust
ness on large scale. Today, the splen-
did mill at that point utilizing all the
latest improvements in machinery, turns
out over 10000 to 10000 perd Some
of the older employees still work there;
but they probably have to pinch them
selves to realize their own presence in
flesh and blood to witness the doings OF
the present time, as compared with the
days of pioneering. Dull times came on
a few years ago, simultaneously with
disagreement between Mr.. Wood and
the Masticks. Pending the settlement
of their difficulties, the mill was idle part
of two years After obtaining full con-
troll, S. L. Mastick started the wheels
moving again. His subsequent death
did not even temporarily check the activ-

been greatly enlarged, till now half
dozen vessels of the largest size can be
accommodated at one time. Instead of
a small store building at the foot of the
hill, there is a large, rOOmy building out
on the wharf, in which the old store of
years ago could be slowed in a corner
and hardly be noticed Even the resi-
denceS on the hill and the fine looking
school building indicate that the days

Smu ggling Cinnamon.
SEATTLE ChrOHicIe.l

Seattle ChroHicie.l ... .
A Victoria paper says that owing
to the ease with which Cinnamon are
enabled to elude the restriction act,
the price of passage from that place
to this territory has fallen to thir-
teen dollars per head. Mr. Evans
recently came here from San Fran
cisco under instructions from the
department to look into this mat
ter and he, after returning home
telegraphed that the report OF
such smuggling was not founned
in fact. 1t appears that he made
his tour of inspection an opportuni-
| ty of a pleasure trip, rather than
one of duty, for there exists no
doubt that Chinese in considerable
| numbers are being brought on
American soil from British Column
bia almost every day. 1t is little
difficult to undertand why the
agents sent to investigate these
charges are prejudiced against find
ing out the truth. How it could
affect them unpleasantly we are at
a loss to appreciate. One thing is
certain, the truth must sooner or
later become known to the author
tiles at Washington. The China
men and those who make gain. by
violating the law relating to their
importations will become SO bold
through immunity from detection
and punishment that the true con
dition of affairs will become openly
notorious and susceptible of imme-
diate proof Indeed it is little short
of that now. iif.f n. --,..i...- .....
1t will be impossible to note
these violations from the increase OF
Asiaties in our territory. One in
superable obstacle is that all China
men look alike. The most lynx
eyed detective would be unable to
single out any number OF them and
swear to their identity. Another
and equally potent reason is the fact
that large numbers of the Mongo-
lians are now employed in railroad
building in Washington territory,
Within the next ten days something
like one thousand railroad graders
will arrive at Seattle alone and be
put to work on construction in

not exist. But when they are no
longer required in building roads,
they will 60 into every channel OF
manual labor of which their initiative
genius and industrious inclinations
are capable, and thus be brought into
direct competition with the white
race. 1t was to prevent this result
that the restriction act became law.
And it was doubtless the intention OF
congress in enacting it that its pro-
visions should be rigidly enforced
1t would appear in view of these facts
that the department would use every
e,ertion to reach the true merits of
these complaints, and promptly apply
the remedy.
