The strange anomaly is here pre-
sentcd of journal which, claiming
to he the mouth-piece of large
community, gloats over the misfor-
tunes of II power which has made Sc
attic booms possible, While it tries
ly all means within its power to
bring about the bankruptcy of a
company which has done more for
the advancement Of our Territory
thnn all other causes combined. 1t
makes no hesitancy in expressing
the belief that without the land grant
the company could not exist; still it
would withdraw all lands, earned
aid unearned. This can mean moth
ing else than that it would deliber-
ately cut the throat Of the company
literally kill the goose which has
laid many golden eggs for Seattle in
the near past. The patience of the
people is well nigh exhausted in the
contemplation of such cold blooded
policy. Little sympathy is now ex-
pressed for it by those who under.
stand the murderous import of such
n demand. A railroad corporation
has rs just as much right to live rs q
municipal corporation, and either
surely possesses some Of the rights
which the Mteiligencer claims an un-
disputed privilege of exercising il
the prosecution Of it's own business
for which it has possibly paid a valu
allie consideration. 1t would be
just as prescriptions for the railroad
stockholders to organize a combined
resistance to the acquired privileges
of that journal, as for it to show th'
malevolence it does for the grea
transcontinental route, simply be
cause it terminates at a rival city.

Wandering After Strange Gods.

Bong-tons" society has discov-
cred another means of making the
service of the Lord subterfuge for
earthly display, besides the pomp
which usually attends the marriages
and funerals Of those who, if not
born with silver spoon in the
mouth find one later in life. The
baptismal font is the object which
has been brought to the front and
made to do duty as the central
figure of picture designed to emilia
zon family pride. if we may believe
the description of one of these novel
scenes said to have taken place at
Birmingham, Alabama. An opera
house is an essential property for
the rendition of the major parts of
the ceremony hitherto considered
more intimately connected with the
future than the present, the glories
to come than the feeting ambitions
of LIES brief span. And it seems
that the most orthodox pastor may
not be ayerse to assuming leading
role in these tabieaur rirants, where
by a solemn ecclesiastical rite is
transformed into hollow mockery,
provided that the edicts of fashion
and wealth sanction the innovation.
The report says that after a very
impressive sermon on Sin and its
Effects" the scenery OF the stage was

of the evening, which, it is needles.
to say, had drawn together q very
large audience. When the curtain
rose, the principal object disclosed
was q charming woodland scene
with a beautiful miniature lake in thu
center, surrounded with rocks and
embsllisLed by flowers. The pastor
arrayed in Arcadian simplicity, ap
peared and led into the sanctifiet
waters what appeared to be a mum
Der OF veritabls wood-nymphs, pro
nouncing the blessings of HEAVIER
amid all the accessories which ar
could devise to beautify the scene
from purely an earthly point of OBJ
servation.
The cost OF such display is no
given in the report, but it must be
OF course, large enough to secure ex
clusiveness, or it would not be tn,

how little people appear to realiz'

How far have the people wandered

The honey crop of the country Is some
30, 900 900 pounds, and we pay here in the

What the People Want to Know.


Men say, why should not the country be
as prosperous under President Cleveland as
It was under Gen. Garfield? They say he
is good man, an honest man, that he de-
sires to give the people good, clean all
ministration, and that he has SO far con-
Quoted himself to the satisfaction OF the
people of the country. All this Is not con-
ceded, but, II 1t should be, what Is OF i'm
portance, and that which does affect the
business interests Of this country, Is some
thing President Cleveland has not yet
spoken upon, and that is the policy of his
administration MS to whether 1t is to be n
continuance of that wise and patriotic pol
icy of protecting and encouraging and de-
yelOping American industries, or whether
Il IL to be return to the ancient Demo-
cratic policy of free trade. Without regard
to whether free trade policy or pro
tective tariff policy is the better for the
country, there is necessary uncertainty
until the policy Is determined, which Is
almost as potent as evil itself in interfering
with and destroying business enterprises.
What the people want to know, therefore,
from Mr.. Cleveland is what he will recon-
mend to the incoming Congress; ana what
they want to know from Congress is what
Congress proposes to do about it. When
| II is settled, II happily 1t may he SO settled,
and, as trust 1t may be, that there is to be
no interference with the protective tariff
policy that the Republican party inrugu'
rated, there will come IL revival Of pros
perity Had Mr. Blaine been elected Presi'
dent, that assurance would at once have
been given to tlfe people of the country
and Immediately upon the happening OF
| that event fires would have been lighted,
wheels would haye turned, and the spindle'
would have whirled. II II should unfortu
nately turn out that the President is tC
favor free trade policy we may only ex
pect II repetition of that continued decline
and ultimate bankruptcy which has over
taken us every time the country has lapseC
from the stimulus OF protection TO thu

Mr.. Eugene lIiggins-who may he called

shoulders of his unfortunate friends felt
from time to time. lie has just been in
dulging In a senscless TRADE against the
way In which the civil service law is sadmin-
istered. Among other things he says that
"between last December aud March, after
the election, persons holding laborers' posi-
tions at $500 year We're promoted 10 5000
Just TO bring them within the pale of the
civil service law, 80 that they could not he
displaced, even though they We're Republi-
caIs." Aud he adds, "under the civil scr'
vice rules we can't dismiss clerks unless
charges are preferred against them This
is u blupter fnrm Of the falsGhood which tho
Sun never weares Of inslnuating, that tho
civil service law imp0ses "A permanent or
life tenure. Mr.. Higgins knows perfectly
that there Is but the slightest restriction on
removals IN the law or the rulca Nor Ii
there much outside the rules except the
fear that the President might at any time
"put his foot down.
