While we are building up bustling

ed with the amenities OF business life
which are too often overlooked and which
should be closely guarded against. We
are all glad 10 see firms come here aud
establish good business houses. We
know that every addition Of a stock of
goods of any legitimate kind adds 10 the
importance of the city aud proportionate-

enterprises come but ii is needful that

To the end that what j. here suggested
shall acquire its full value every individ-
ual, firm or company, which must pur-
chase supplies Of any kind that can be
obtained in Fairhaven should purchase
them here, especially when, as is general
~ the case. such purchases may be made
as simultaneously here "a elsewhere.
We have known instances where per-
sons have made purchases Of goods in
seattle Tacoma, Portland and san Fran
cisco, when they could have purchased
the same goods at as low prices right
here ia Fairhavcn. barring the cost Of
freight which the purchaser has had To

Many people make those pur-
chases in the larger and
older cities simply for the vanity OF deal
ing with the older aud greater houses Of
the older cities, not stopping TO think
that when they are thus sending their
money away they are doing that much
toward decreasing the commercial i'm

prosperity all their hopes of future for

\ late telegram from Was hington. d
c., says: Senators Allen and Squire and
Representative Wilson, of Washington,
went together TO the interior department
and had consultation with Secretary
Noble on the appointment of commits
sioners to negotiate with the Indians on
the Colville and Puyalup reservations.
The secretary said he was inclined to
favor the appointment of men from
Washington, though he was not sure that
this would meet the ideas of the presi-
dent. The Washington delegation favors
the appointment of one man ON each
commission from their state. The law
allows this. The positions are of great
responsibility and trust. The compensa-
/ ton is SO a day. 1t is understood that
/ the names of two well known Washington
citizens were submitted to the secretary,
but all concerned declined to make them
/ public until after conference with the
president.

IT Is said that an application will be
made to the council to extend the dura-
ton of the franchise of the Eastside
Water Company from thirty to fifty
years. The public will be curious to
know why, at a time when the people
are earnestly looking forward to the con-
troll and distribution of the water con-
sumed by this city themselves, propo-
sition of this character is made. 1t will
probably strike the average citizen that
there is some scheme on foot to perpetu-
ate the existing condition of the water
question. The Eastside company have
water privilege on the river bottom
just below the county hospital. 1t has
been found to yield very large supply,
and pipes have been carried from it to
various parts of the east side. As a
means OF supply to portions of East Los
Angeles and Brooklyn Heights, it is
doubtless valuable. With a franchise to
last for thirty years, however, it's owners
ought to be well satisfied, for it is more
than likely that before the expiration OF
that time they will have had popula-
ton to supply that will have afforded
them immense returns upon their in
yestment.

We DOUBT whether there is anything 6
in the rumor that was started recently
about the removal of the army head
quarters from Los Angeles. One of tn e
officers says he has heard nothing of the
matter whatever from any official or re-
liable source, and he believes that it is a
mere baseless sensation. Besides, he
says, no benefit to the army whatever
would accrue from the change. The
departments are now divided in the
best manner possible to subserve the in
terests of the service, and there is moth
ing to be gained by any new arrange
ment or consolidation of the Pacific
coast commands. We are glad to know
this. 1t would be great loss to Los
Angeles society to have the families OF
the officers stationed here removed.

We CANNOT clearly foresee what effect
the projection of ex-senator j. V. Cole
man into the campaign as candidate
for governor will have upon the several
prominent names already mentioned in
connection with the democratic nomina-
tion for the head of the ticket. Mr.. Cole
man is very popular young man in the
central part OF the state, and has many
friends in this section. They will doubt
less rally to his support and carry con-
siderable strength into the convention /;
but whether that strength will be suf-
ficient to pull him through is a ques-
tion it is too early to give an opinion
upon of any value. We are, however,
satisfied that with Mr.. Pond, Mr.. Cole
man or with any of the other prominent
gentlemen named for the standard
bearer of the party, the democracy will
carry the state triumphantly next fall.

THE original package" is now the alb
sorbing question in the prohibition
states. Since the supreme court de-
cided that liquor can be taken into those
states from other states in Original
packages" the original package is much
sought after. In the senate yesterday a
bill was discussed, the object of which
is to reverse the decision of the supreme
court; but as that decision rests upon
the provision of the constitution which
guarantees freedom OF commerce between
the states, it is not likely that the con-
script fathers will make much headway
in their benevolent work.

tablished there. In this city the demo-
Gratis are taking deeper interest in the
party than we have seen for years. Half
a dozen clubs have been organized, and
the membership of each is large and in

WEDNESDAY, MAY FL, 1890.
THE SILVER QUESTION IN PERIL.

If there is truth in the report that
comes from Washington, announcing
that President Harrison will veto free
coinage silver bill if passed, then that
gentleman has assumed an attitude to-
wards the legislative department of the
government which is hagitious in itself
and violative of the tenor and the spirit
to publicly give out that he will veto
any measure that is being seriously
discussed by congress is an act of intim-
idation which is wholly unjustifable.
Besides, how can president say that he
will veto bill if passed. In doing so he
is presuming that congress will pass an
Objectionable measure, and he, is antici-
patings knowledge of its provisions
which he can only know when the
measure is passed and placed before him
for his consideration.
1t is evident that the country, that is
a great majority of the people, is in IA
vor OF restoring silver money to its old
position of equality with gold. That is
shown by the unprecedented interest the
people everywhere have taken in the
silver discussion since congress opened.
The silver advocates have gained in
strength every day since the debate
commenced, and the monometalists have
become correspondingly weaker. The
Window bill has been discussed out of
the possibility of passage, and the Jones
bill is now really the only measure
that is looked upon as at all acceptable.
But the power of the monometalists
should not be measured by the paucity
of their members. They have absorbed
to themselves, through the infamous
practices that degraded silver to a COM
modify, the bulk of the wealth OF the
country; and that Observation-Disclosures
wealth enables them to exercise an in
fluence upon legislation which nothing
but the most determined action of the
people everywhere can overcome. Now
is the time for the people to bear down
upon congress with all the influence
they can evoke. Every public body,
every organization, ought to voice the
demand OF the people for white money
and make their voice felt in Washington.
The directors of the chamber of COM
merce OF this city will hold meeting at
$3.50 O'Clock this afternoon for the pur-
pose of formulating resolutions on the
silver question, and telegraphing them
to Washington. Every board of trade
and chamber of commerce on the Pacific
coast should do the same; and every in
dividual who is acquainted with con-
gresham or a senator should write tC
him urging him to come to the relief O
the people, by restoring silver to its ole
equality with gold. We may not JUS
now get free coinage, but if we get the
measure of relief proposed in the Jones
bill, free coinage will not be far off,

ROUNDUP TOPICS.

Says Dan Freeman: "You have no
idea of what a London fog is. 1t is not
like any other fog on earth for instance,
it is not like the fog one experiences III
San Francisco. The latter comes in
from the ocean, and has an undertone of
warmth. 1t is quite bracing. Your
London fog is sui-generis. 1t is like
nothing else under the obscured
sun. 1t has its genesis in the London
slums. When | was in London struck
days in which, for forty-eight hours in
succession, business was suspended. As
a matter of fact, the gas was lighted all
day, and you positively could not dis
cern a gas-jet twelve feet away. You
knew it was there when you came
within that distance of it, but it was a
bleary observation, mocking the very
suggestion of light. would not live in
London if you gave me the whole city,
with the usufruct of the national debt
thrown in. 1t was in that gruesome
spot that l got the grip. 4
Are there any relieving features
of London? Yes, two-two months of
fairly decent weather, so l am told, but
| was not there in those months. X
What cities do l like most in Eu-
rope? Well, emphatically like Rome
and Venice best. Berlin next. You
ask me if like Berlin better than Paris
and say yes-emphatically yes. Paris
is a much overrated city. The climate
there is eXecrable in winter. You re-
member that the French revolution
opened in a winter of unprecedented
severity, and l believe that the atrocity
of the weather is largely accountable for
the atrocities of the reign of terror.
With all the talk about French cookery,
you can't get a meal in Paris half as
good as Jerry Hitch will serve you up for
half the money. The fact is, while /
was in the French capital l only struck
one good specially in the line of the
cuisine-chickens, which are served
charmingly in all lines by the Partisan
chefs. y How does the Riviera
compare with Southern California? Why
it doesn't compare at all. We have three
fine days for one they get at Nice and
Mentone and through that whole
charmed circle. All you have to do to
get on to this business is to read Lord
Byron's diary. 1t is a record of contin-
uous rains. As he says, it is often
splash, splash Our climate is incom-
parably the better of the two. =
How do the orange groves of Southern
California compare with those of South
ern Europe? Why, there is no COM
parison at all. Our trees are larger,
they are more regularly planted, the
fruit is larger and handsomer and the
flavor is better. The fact is that there
is no soil in Europe. 1t has to be re-
newed through the agency of expensive
manures. This is the same in the orange
groves as in the vineyards, the latter Of
which have been cultivated since julius
Cesar's time.
