Social inequality.

History shows that all the great
wars, both ancient and modern have
been the result of ''social inequali-
ties" The country or nation that
expects peace must distribute the
burdens OF organized society equally
among it's members in proportion to
their ability to discharge and the
blessings resulting from the compact
must be showered alike upon the
rich and the poor. The struggle for
social equality makes men mad aud
war is nothing more than an aggre-
CATION of human madness. The
question of social equality is one of
the most dangerous, intricate and
delicate that ever agitated the hu.
man mind. 1t is the great dynamite
bomb in the heart of civilized socie.
ty: it has turned homes into smoking
laid vast cities in ruin,
ground governments into dust and
buried kings and princes in unrecog-
nized graves. Nothing will SO exas-
perate the human mind and create
such a reckless desire to avenge as
social inequality.-Ex.

AN ADDRESS
BY REV. 4. 8. NC CoS.ELL,
10 the presentation of the diplomas.

On the presentation of the diplomas.
The President Of the Board whose du-
ty it is to present these diplomas to the
graduating class, being modest and
bashful gentleman, has delegated the
pleasant task to me. And in assuming
it recognize the improperly Of max
ing set speech, as the hour is late aud
the people are warm and weary.
TO my young friends, however, must
say that I congratulate you on the COM
pletion Of the prescribed course Of study.
Two things l note with pleasure.
First, the evidence that your time and OPP
portunities have been really improved.
The exercises you have given us are an
honor to you and reflect much credit On
the training You have received in our
school. / note in them practical ring, q
matter OF fact flavor, and see absence OF
rhetorical tinsel.
And second, I note the promise Of
bright future for you. What that future
will be depends on yourselves. You
have begun we'll, and l charge you to
persevere. Let these diplomas mark for
your intellectual journey only the first
mile stone. DO not stop at the end Of
this mile. A long journey opens out be-
fore you. Some portion Of the way may
be rough and steep, but remember that

Strength to the brave and power aud deity"
And when you once have attained the in
teliectual heights OF vision You will real
ize that joys are there in store for you
and pure and wholesome pleasures such
as you dream not of now. Therefore,
neglect not the intellectual life. Do not
allow your minds to settle down to the
level of cheap novels, beaus
and base ball. Learn to think. That is
one Of the chief aims Of education. When
Sir Isaac Newton was asked how he was
able to solve tedious and complicated
problems, he replied, by
my mind upon them" Bring !
the mental faculties thus under control
Of the will, aud after time they will
easily and delightfully."- do by habit that |
which now may be task.
Life opens out auspiciously before you
all. You have youth, health, brains and
beauty. What more do young people |
need in this time Of privilege? I charge
you, therefore, to use these advan-
tages in working out practical realiz.

If we live truly, we shall see truly" and
your lives will be as "sweet as the MUIR

study and understand our system of
township and county government,
but also to understand to some ex-
tent their defects and to suggest rell-

be will necessitate an intimacy with
existing systems which differ from
our own with a sufficient knowledge
of their practical workings for intell-

In 1858 was taken with bilious COL

Yearly attacks followed, and Mt

In 1872, while residing in Oakland,

and was informed by DIR. Pinkerton
that it was chronic and incurable,

A month ago it returned, but try.

write this because you do not Is.
pecially recommend Vinegar Bittere
for bilious collie. Only those who
have suffered the agonies Of this dis
ease, can understand what q boon a
sure cure is, and in Old Style Vinegar
Bitters yon have the best, and per
haps the only real remedy known.
In reply to Mr.. Page we will cay
that Vinegar Bitters cures hundreds
OF diseases; we have not the space to
catalogue them. and perhaps il we
published them those unacquainted
by experience with our valuable REM
edy might doubt its efficacy still, az
SO many worthless preparations are
thrust on the market and pulled in
SO many entravagant ways.
The fact remains, however, that
those who have been accustomed to
take Vinegar Bitters for any length
Of time, are hale and hearty. whether
they are young or old. Those who
doubt and fail to take it are likely to
fall into all manner Of ailments, great
and slnall. Vinegar Bitters, both Old
and New Styles, keep those who take
them fresh, fair, healthy and young
looking. and when we once
gain customer, we keep them al
ways, like Mr.. Page, who sent eighty
miles for Vinegar Bitters, and it was
almost ride for life.

tional writer's recognize that our greatest
obstacle in our struggle forward is lack
OF properly trained teachers This lack
will always exist until the public demands
and is willing to pay for them.
Ny young friends:-I hardly feel able
to say anything Of interest to You to-
night, but it seems proper for mo to say
few parting words to you. You un.
doubtedly realize that this evening CON-
pletes an important part Of your prepar-
alton for practical life. This school
training should have done something
towards unfolding and disciplining your
minds. II should have gwen You good

You may know upon what success in life
depends. Tho elements Of success in life
are fewer than you probably suspect.
You must have given your adherence to
right principles. This is fundamental
condition. No genuine success is pos.

try and self.control completes the list.
This disposition to persist, in spite OF
hindrances and discouragements, is what
distinguishes the strong soul from the
weak. Emerson says the character
istic OF heroisn, is its persissency.
In conclusion would say, do not for
get that the price Of good mental habits
and we'll disciplined minds is continu-

for all in your school days. You can
only pay in installments and will always
have forfeiture hanging over you.

Some one may ask, "What do we
learn from reading Hawthorne's
great works, and what influence
have his writings had upon the
world?' l answer, we learn to appre-
ciate fine descriptions, and also learn
many moral lessons. The influence
that his Scarlet Letter had upon the
world may be shown from the fact
that, when it was first published, it
brought him letters FROM strangers
people who had sinned aud sought
his counsel az they would friend.
Think Of Hawthorne by the side OF
Rider Haggard, E. P. Roe and the
Duchess What useful knowledge
and what fine descriptions do we find
in their works. say, nothing that
will be OF any use to us. Perhaps
you will find . few descriptions Of
Loves in which lovers walk and talk;
but in every one Of these novels you
know the main outline Of the story:
a young man and woman start out In
life with some accomplishments; they
have their trials and temptations to

and lead either u happy or unhappy

OF course the stories differ in hav-
ing the scenes in different localities,
the characters being Of different dis
positions, and having q different
class of obstacles to meet, but the
main object il to have them marry.

with GOO, 900 laths and coco pickets,
IN aggregate that cannot be surpassed
by any local mill in the Northwest.
In the spring OF 1875 Geo. w. Stet-
son and J. J. Post formed a partner
ship and started a small sash and door
factory at the foot of Yesler avenue,
leasing power from Yesler's old mill.
Both were practical mill men, and
they managed the business with such
energy and capability that their quar-
tiers soon became too small for their
custom. In 1876 they secured site
at the foot OF Commercial street, now
occupied by their sash and door fac
tory, and started sawmill in connec-
ton with the factory. Their business
continued to grow to such an extent
that they concluded, few years
later, to build a large mill several
hundred yards southwest of the old
one, and TO turn the latter exclusively
into a sash and door factory. The
new mill was completed late in
lSS2, and did good work for the Stet-
son Il Post Mill Company until 1885
when it burned To the ground The
work of reconstruction was begun i'm
mediately and on the site OF the de-
stroyed mill q larger and much more
complete plant was built. The mill
has run regularly since then, addi-
tional machinery being added as the
growing business demanded.
On January 3, lsS5, the Stetson &
Post Mil company was incorporated.

and Mr.. w c. StetSon resident man

a portion OF its immense output in Sc

Port Townsend is the port OF entry

The partial record required 10 be kept
of the ocean commerce, presented be-
low in tabular form, shows an increase
OF nearly 80 per cent. over 1857. The
total tonnage OF vessels officially en-
tering Puget Sound during the past
year was Gil. l67 tons; of vessels clear
ing, 965, 474 tons. And yet this ton
mage. large as it is. shows less than
two-thirds OF the actual shipping pass

every eoasting vessel, carrying lumber
and coal, runs under alicense which is
renewed once a year Under this
license the vessel is not Obliged to

hence the total ocean tonnage can be
arrived at only By adding to the Gus
