Our New Tilot Law.

Governor Semple has not yet app
pointed members OF the board of
pilot commissioners provided for by
the new law.
The governor was directed to ap
point three competent persons pilot
commissioners for Puget Sound, the
board to meet at Port Townsend at
least once in three months, make laws
for their own government and the
government Of pilots, provide seal,
appoint secretary, neither commits
sioners or secretary TO have any in
terest in any pilot boat or the earn
ings thereof. Pilots must be Ameri~
can citizens and legal voters over 81.
They shall be rigidly examined by
the board touching their manage
ment of vessels, knowledge of bear
ings, tides, currents, etc. ri OTIS who
get drunk while in charge of ves-
sci shall be suspended or dismissed.
No one except licensed pilots shall
pilot vessels in or out of Puget Sound,
Juan de Fuca straits or from the
ocean, under a penalty of $500.
This penalty is not increased where
p master of vessel acts as his own
pilot, provided that vessel should
not be compelled to take a pilot.
Pilots are to pay 5 per cent, of the
pilotage received by them to the
board and 50 for his license, the
money to pay the expenses Of the
board. Pilots are required to keep
boat cruising in the straits of Fu-
ca or at sea. Pilot commissioners
are to fix rates of pilotage, which
must not exceed IS per foot to yes
sells which take pilot outside Waada
island; vessels from British Golum-
bia to pay not over Sc per foot, yes
sells from Port Townsend TO any port
on Puget Sound not over 81 per foot.
Nothing in the act is to be construed
as requiring payment of half pilotage
when services are not actually per-
formed. 1t is the special duty of
the pilot commissioners to notify the
prosecuting attorney of the Sd Judi
cial district of violations of the act and
it Is MADE his duty to forthwith
prosecute the offenders.

"A FRIEND OF MINE"
The Law which Encircles the Entire
Globe.

Travellers who have gone ''far countries
for to see" gay that they find human ma
ture pretty much the same all the world
over.
They find wide variance in color of skin,
in physical contour, In mental charact-
eristics, but i'll the essential elements
that control social conduct, the human
family is brotherhood.
The law, unwritten, found in no stat
ute book, enforced by no court DEGREES,
but having an influence circumscribed
ONLY by the limits of earthly space, is the
law of kindness.
Among peoples where cruelty to human
kind is almost fixed habit, who are re-
lentless foes, and as friends scarcely less
to be dreaded, whose savage natures
revel in fiendish atrocities, there yet
fingers the spark OF divinity which lifts
man above the beasts.
Sorrow melts the human heart wher-
ever found, and sympathy mingles its
tears with grief all the world over.
Where pity does not dwell, there lives no
thing OF human kind. 1t is ''the touch
OF nature that makes the whole world
kim"
What a terrible world this would be to
live in were it not for the sympathy and
hlHuHSSS SHOW US N1Itil SOIEON
comes, for it is decreed that in all lives
some days must be dark and dreary."
The 10000 and more voluntary testi-
monials the proprietors OF Warmers safe
cure have received in regard to the
efficacy OF that remedy, reveal this
touch of nature" in peculiar manner.
The great majority OF them acknowledge
that il was through some kind friend
who, in pity for their suffering, had
made known to them the wonderful
merits of this great remedy.
The testimonials of Capt. Geo. B.
Wiltbank of Philadelphia, is a fair
sample. He was put ashore from his
ship to die OF fever resulting from kid
ney and liver trouble, and as physicians
could not help him, there seemed no
hope for him. But he says "a friend of
mine, who happened into port, came to
see me, and urged me TO begin the use
Of Warmers safe cure" He began TO use
it as his friend advised, and was cured in
very short time.
How many men there are to-day in
the world, rounding out lives of useful
ness, making the world happier and bet
ter, who would have long since passed
TO the other shore, had it not been for
the loving kindness of friends, shown in
this practical way, as these testimonials
from all quarters OF the globe afford
ample evidence.

and it was go to jail or raise it by some
means He told the sheriff that if he would
wait until he could write homo to his father

his family were made acquainted with his
troubles, and the mails could bring it. The
sheriff suggested that lie telegraph to his
father to send him the money by telegraphic
money order. He acted upon this sugges:

The French clamor For Senator Beck


An excellent story was current in the
senate chamber the other day. Senator
Beck was the central figure in It The
story indicated the immsnss demand for the
silver speeches of the silver statesman from
Kentucky. lettsr with the words, Hon.
James," plainly written and the rost of the
address blurred by the postmark in such a
way as to make it resemble Beck" was de-
livered in the mail OF the Kentucky senator
Upon opening it he found it written in
French, and he could only make out the
words which, translated, were, My dear
James" Passing the letter over to a fell
low-senator, he said: "Look at this. Every
nation Is calling for my silver spsoch. The
demand IS immsnse from every part of the
country. Germany wants it. Spain has
sent for it. The Italians haye written for
it, and now the French are clamoring for
ii" The senator addressed took tho letter,
and, glancing through it, saw that it was
from the brother of Senator James Eustis to
that gentleman. The situation was broken
gently to senator Beck, but it will be some
time before he will hear thu last of that
French clamor.-W ashington Letter to The

Outlook for the University.

The trustees of the University Of
Puget Sound. duly incorporated in
stitution, located on the land Of
Isabel and Albert Briggs, are fully
committed to push the matter Of
building and maintaining a school of
high grade at PCrt Townsend. Tie
only condition now Will be whether
or not this community desires a
school of such grade established.
The trustees are ready to accept all
of the obligations originally implied
in the contract Of the conference, and
even more if desired. We ars quite
certain that the trustees viii unan-
imously agree TO raise dollar for
dollar for whatever Port Townsend
will raise. This viii be for a build
ing fund They Will also agree to
push the matter Of endowment until
it reaches the amount originally con
templated by Bishop Fowler.
We believe Port Townsend needs
the school and that she has the en-
terprise to build it. She will have
the sympathy and help of the whole
lower Sound, and will get the demon
national patronage of the confer
ence. What shall we do? Shall we
back down and surrender to more
courageous rival, or, shall we push
on into the field and secure what we
so mucn need? Let Port, Townsend
answer.
A careful estimate of the rise of
real estate in Port Townsend within
the past two years will show conclu-
sively that the university project has
been already worth a hundred thous~
and dollars to this community. It is
now question whether OF not Port
Townsend will allow this benefit to
cease, CT whether she Will push on to
the additional success and increased
valuation resulting from an estab-
ished institution. The railroad
boom assisted in raising values. It
is now a very serious question
whether, if this university should
collapse, and the railroad should
prove failure, the values Of our real
estate would not also collapse. Can
we afford to show the white feather d?
Personally, the writer has little to
lose by collapse, but we shall do
our best to prevent ii. If the prop
erty holders who are to receive the
greatest benefit are disposed to turn
deaf ear to this enterprise, they can
doubtless freeze it to death-just as
many another enterprise has had the
life chilled out of it If local news
papers, that ought to be in the van
of progress, choose to wet blanket
this move continually, they can prob
ably aid to a limited extent in stifiin"
its breath. There is no need OF fail
ure; there is no need of fighting the
air. There is no need Of lack of har-
mony, unless It be from innate mean
ness or absolute destitutiOn Of ambi-
ton. If the town waits to have
greatness thrust upon it the moss
will accumulate on its back. and its
croakers Will multiply, while the
younger and more vigorous towns
will take the lead by the law of the
of the fttest that deter
mines the destiny of western civili- |
zation. In this matter we have the |
sympathy of the whole country |
,ound about what Is more
potent in our favor, We have the ac-
i've, hearty co operation of leading
md influential citizens elsewhere If
