Why shond the good and the great be swept away
BY deaths rude indiscriminating hand,
" hen il their life elm bound the destiny
And happiness Of thousands in the land!
Why should the leader of the fight be slain
Before the awful strife Las well begun!
Ana why the mightlest first embrace the plain,
Whose strength gave promise Of q vict'ry won?
Why should the well skilled plot of the state,
When civil dscord's pointed rocks appear
Be chilled in death when needed most to steer?
Why should the hungry grave the farest take!
The ruthless tomb first snatch the most beloved?
The house old stay fell Fate his victim make!
And think OF famished orphans Cries unMovedi
oh! why should noble worth 80 soon be made
Forego the prospects of bright career;
A wealth of knowledge in the dust be laid
And earth be robbed Of wisdom bought 80 dear?
While thousands, scarcely missed to rest might go
Nor leave the vestige OF blank behind;
Even rs unfaling rivers onward flow,
Nor make their rolling waters less confined.
Why perish sprighty youth when life is sweet
And hopes OF joyouS days o'erhll the breast,
When paisled age. with weary tottring feet,
Longs for the welcome OF Q well-won resty
Men ask. and earthly wisdom cannot tell;
profound philosophy gives NO reply;
Earth sea md sky the thrilling notes repel,
And echo back universal .Whyy"
Mysterious are the ways of God to MAJ;
Dark gloom enshrouds US in our earthly night:
But light shall break and justify the plan,
And day Immortal CHANGE the dark TO light.

Sistcrly Action.

The action OF the Chamber OF Com
merce Of Seattle in endorsing the
petition Of Port Townsend fer in
creased appropriation for our Gus
tom house Is aeighborly and friend
ly act that certainly will be appreci-
ated. The appropriation is needed
by the whole customs district. The
fling OF the P-I. at Port Townsend
is wholly undeserved and never
would have been thought of but fer
the silly bosh of the Port Townsend
correspondent, who, by the way, is
an importation and has nothing in
common with Port Townsend's inter-
ests, and who seemingly takes a great
deal of delight in misrepresenting
Port Townsend's people and her in
terests.
With Seattle, Port Townsend has
ever had the very best of business
feelings. The only reason, if any
exists, why we should not immedi-
ately favor the supports of entry ut
Seattle and Tacoma is the fact that
our customs district is yet without
a custom house and our officers are
really ont of doors save as they
rent poorly equipped buildings.
With this custom house completed
we recognize that supports of entry
will be necessity and we really
think that we Will lose nothing by
our sister cities getting their wish.
Port Townsend's interests are not
served by decrying the interests OF
other places.
We are not altogether friendly to
Tacoma She has shown her cloven
foot in the university matter until
we are compelled TO believe that she
carries a swine's suout, and hence we
owe her no good will. Yet we are
not going to initiate her in trying to
defeat legislation that is for the good
OF the whole Sound country. In the
matter of commercial relations she
shall yet feel the hand of Port
Townsend.
We certainly wish Seattle success
and shall be ready to reciprocate her
favors.

The Situation in Europe.

There is no prospect of a war in
Europe in the near future. Russia
is moving her troops to the frontier,
SIMPLY to be ready should the oppor-
tunity arise to play a winning game
on the checker board of European
state craft. She OF course desires
Constantinople. She ought to have
1t, too, so far as real right is con-
cerned. The only reason why she
has not had it for long time is that
she would thus become too strong
and great for the safety and peace of
Europe, With this in view England
and Germany have checked her am
bition, and she is very impatiently
biding her time. Germany is very
strong from a military stand point,
and the result seems to verify Bis
marck's prophecy that Preparation
for war would minister for peace"
This IS true and the two blood
hounds of western Europe will con
time to growl at each other and
martial their forces until the millions
of their soldiery tire OF the senseless
show and emigrate to more peaceful
lands. mo war in Europe" will be
the news for the next ten wears.
