SANTA CLAUS is coming. He'll soon be here,
won't her Good old winter visitor is Santa
Claus. How the children love him, to be sure.
In cot and mansion, in alley bounded and
parked homes, in tenement and farmhouse all
over the land the young hearts beating
faster and faster as the date of his visit draws
nigh. Frowzy heads nesting on pillows of down
and tufts of straw see the same vision in
their dreams as you and saw in the long ago.
For Santa Claus, bless his dear old soul. has
not changed bit since we waited for his CON-
ing. In Nodland they see the same old sled,
laden with the same old stock, drawn by the
same old rendeers, driven by the same old man
he of the frosty beard, snowy hair, smiling,
kindly face. Blessed, sleep-giving vision to you
and to I then-to thine now. Afar off,
way behind the big banks OF snow
clouds, beyond the shifting streaks of the
Northern lights the little ones in ante-Christmas
dreams see the big storehouse. What big boxes.
bulging bales, bursting bags, stacks of toys,
heaps of candy, piles of nuts it holds The
feet-footed steeds are paving in the snow for
the lichen while awaiting the crack of the
whip, shaking the song out of the silvery
bells the tinkle of which sounds sweetly
in Dreamland. Now make this dream of the
darlings come true. Some of the dreamers see
the glitter Of gold and the dazzle of gems
Some see only toys, lollypops and sugar plums.
Bur, be they meek and lowly or high
and mighty, make the dream drift
into reality on Christmas morn.
Santa Claus discriminates, of course. but he
shouldn't skip. Hang something on the tree
or put something in the stocking. Keep mp the
innocent play, nourish the beautiful dream. 1t
will vanish only too soon. When life becomes
stern reality the tinkle of the silvery bells
is muft1ed in the years. But the vision and the
sound come back at Christmastide-come back
with the prattle of tho children who await, as
you awaited. the coming of good old Santa
Claus.

Asleep, Not Dying.

Where flowers throve in summer sun,
While balmy winds were signing;
Where hungry spiders stout webs spun,
A sheet of snow is lying.
Where clover tops were red and white,
And thistle blows were flying;
Where meek-eyed kline slept in the night
A sheet of snow is lying.
Where once the sower placed the seed,
Then reaped-our wants supplying;
Where night dews nourished lowly weed,
A sheet of snow is lying.
Where loved ones sleep in narrow bed,
Beyond the sound of signing;
Where once some scalding tears were shed,
A sheet OF snow is lying.
But f1ow'rs will bloom, the grain will thrive
Earth is asleep, not dying.
Sun will once more all things revive,
Where now the snow is lying.
A LONG felt want-Poyerty.

A RAISE IN RATES


For some time past there have been
rumOrs of q combination or pool. formed
by the several steamboat companies on
the sound. and Tuesday last these rumors
took tangible shape. The price of pass
age between Fairhaven and Seattle has
been advanced to $3.50. and between Fair
haven and Tacoma to $500. Al once there
was a cry OF Indignation raised, but
the patrons OF the steamers, and
they comprise the larger part of the
citizens OF this city, We're powerless. Re-
monstrance did no good, the cash fare
was all that was accepted A steamboat
man was seen by Herald reporter and
when asked If a raise in the passenger
fare mad been made, said eyes. the
companies have formed pool and
rates have been advanced. "Why
was this done?' Well the companies
were carrying passengers at rate made,
when some time ago there was "a rate war
and there was no money in the old price.
Every one knows that the price was too
low, why we were only getting about a
cent mile and If IL were not for the
freight business all the steamers would
have lost money and even with the
freight business. there was little money
in this route. IT there was a
railroad between this city and Tacoma or
Seattle. do you think the fare would be
anything like what the old rate was by
steamer?' mo, II would be at least 5000
ana lne time cOulu not ue SNoTleHeu nucn
either, owing to the road and the dis :
lance. Why should not steamers have at
least one-haf what the railroads would
charge? That Is the question, and III
there is to be any equality then IL must
be made and at Onces" These views were
presented TO a representative business
man and he did not coincide with the
steamboat man in any particular. He
said. "The companies have been making
a good thing out of the busi-
ness at the old rates, otherwise
they would not have remained on
this route. The freight business alone
makes enough money to more than pay
ali expenses and a fair interest on the
money invested. and the passenger list is
clear profit Then aside from the regular
fare, the table ON these steamers pays a
nice dividend each month. The compa .
nies say they should be put ON an equal
basis with the railroads. aud that Is
foolishness. They have no road
to build and keep up at a, great eN-
pense and beside the boats That Is the
majority Of them, do not cost anything IN

comparison with the rolling stock on a
well equipped railroad. Their route costs
them nothing and they are at no expense
TO keep ii in condition. This raise in rates
will seriously affect the bay cities too, as
II will keep many people from coming

the old schedule OF prices. You can look
out for an opposition line on this route no
company or combination can have mon
opoly of the business, as long as there are
so many boats that can be utilized at this
time"
In the meantime the steamers are going
on their way and undisturbed and the
passengers are compelled to pay the price
asked. as there is no alternative.

RUSSIA WANTS HER MONEY.
Payment for a Long Standing Debt
Demanded Of Bulgaria.

SOFIA, February 19.-Russla has demand
ed Of the government of Bulgaria the pay
ment OF three million rubles. arrears due
on account Of the Russian occupation of
1878 and 1879. The demand is in part related
to the consolidation under o'ae government
of Bulgaria and Eastern Rou,nelia. BY the
treaty Of Berlin, in July, 1878. it was proyid-
cd that Russia, whose army had lust con-
quered for these countries their freedom
from Ottoman dominion, should maintain
military occupation Of Eastern Roumelia
for nine months. The object was to guaran-
tee the tranquility Of tho country, It being
;lpprehended that between the Turk ish au-
thorities, left in 20 tai control, and the long
oppressed population, inspired by partial
freedom, there would be murderous conflicts
II the conquering armies were withdrawn
before the respective elements accustomed
themselves to the new relations. As usual
in such cases the expense of maintaining
the troops was to be assessed upon the prov
ince. Russia never pressed this debt, and
demands the arrears now, apparently under
a sense of irritation.
