NUMBERS NOT ALL-IMpoRTANT.

The short count of Seatile's population
has been aggravating. 1t has been espec-
tally so because OF the discredit it seems TO
cast upon a recent and perfectly honest
count made under local auspices. But
there are several things that are more i'm
portant than mere numbers in the make
up OF community. In that respect the
question OF population is somewhat like
the question of brains: quality is quite as
important as quality
Recent reports afford an apt illustra ton
on this point. Coloael Porter estimates
the population OF the United States at not
far either way from 6i,5o0,Go0 Estimates
based upon latest re liable information from
Africa place the population of Africa at
25,000,000, or more than FIVE tines as great
as that of the United States. Bat in all
that makes a country great and people
worthy OF honor and respect our sixty-four
millions count Tor hundreds or thousands
oil times more than their three hundred
and twenty five millions.
Another no less striking statement re-
lates to populous district in our own
country. The census reveals that the most
populous square mile in the United States
or in the world is to be found in the city of
New York. On that square mile it is said
there are about 269 600 people huddled to-
gether. They are almost exclusively inn
migrants of the lowest order; ignorant, IL
literate and in large part utterly depraved.
In all that makes human kind noble and
progressive, and of value to a country the
forty thousand OF Seattle are of incalcu-
lably more worth than these two hundred
and sixty-nine thousand. Cast the two
masses together in any part of the world
and there would never arise any question
which would dominate and control the
other.
And so in regard to districts less strik-
ingly distinguished. In all that indicates
enterprise, progress, business capacity and
the empire-buildingq qualities Seattle is only
to be compared with cities of twice, thrice
and quadruple her population. In COM
merce, production, mining, manufacturing.
clearances, real estate transactions, sub
stantial improvements, banking, railroad
and educational facilities-in all which is
recognized as most highly characteristic of
the highest type of all-conquering Yankee
energy, Seattle ranks with the most pro-
gressive cities OF eighty to two hundred
and fifty thousand population. Such quail
tiles have an attraction that is irresistible.

MINISTERIAL ETHICS.

Down in Georgia short time ago one
Rev. s. K. McCutchen struck and NAL
treated his wife. He being member of the
Baptist conference of that state, that body
arraigned and tried him for the offense.
He was found guilty, and the following
neutrality-suspicious. unanimously or not
the report fails to state-were adopted:
Pesolued, That a. a comic renee we disapprove
OF the act OF Brother McCu,chen In striking his
wife-sn act which Was unmanly, unchristian
aud unninis.eFial
ResolVsd, That with our disapproval of Brother
McCntchen In this particular we still retain our
confidence in his Christian character.
Emanating from a political convention
or legislative investigating committee
the like of this would be regarded as dis
gushing specimen of whitewash. From q
body OF men whose profession it is to
teach the gospel of Christ it is revolving
In any walk of life-even among the
bestial denizens of the lowest slums-wife-
beating is regarded as one of the most
brutal ofienses against modern civilization.
In some states it is the one offense for
which the whlpping-post is retained as the
only adequate and fitting punishment 1t
Is doubtful whether its retention for that
purpose would not meet large share OF
public approval in all of the states.
But If such is the proper feeling as to
this brutal practice even among degraded
creatures who are unframed 10 the exer-
else of moral or religious restraint, how
much stronger should it be against one
whose duty and habit it is to teach and i'm
press upon his fellow beings their duty TO
God and to each other; whose duty and
habit it is TO treat and teach marriage as a
sacrament, and to admonish husbands and
wives of their duty to each other, and
their duty in their marital relation to So
ciety and as exemplars 10 their children.
If person thus trained, and taught. and
teaching others, can be guilty of this I'M
christian and unmaniy brutality-the very
essence of cowardise withal-without for
fixture of confidence in his Christian
character, il would be interesting 10 learn
just what could work such forfeiture. How
ever it may appear 10 the Georgia confer
ence, to the unsanctihed outsider these res.
olutions imply low estimate of the mari
tai relation: 3 low estimate of the duty of
Christian husband 10 his wfe--an almost
b!asphemous estimate of what may be done
by a Christian minister without impair
ment of the confidence which body of
Christian ministers entertain in his
Christian character"
This conference has in effect resolved,
"You did wrong to hit her, but hit her
again. Brother McCutchen "

Exploring the Upper Quiniault.
Ahpr loan Herald


F.s. Antrim, who has just returned from
weeks exploration along the essi fork of the
upper Quiuiault. gives a fattering description
of the outlook for future development of the
min raj resou ces of that country. Mr.. Antrim
went prepared with dynamite to do any blast
ing that might be necessary in his inveCtige-
tons, and returned with a number of speci-
mems OF ore secured by him. While he does
not seem to think he has discovered anything
wonderful or rich, he feels conf dent from the
indications observed by him that the lucky man
is going to strike il rich in that locality soon.
Mr. Antrims explorations extended for twenty
FIVE miles above lake Quiniauit, a ong the east
branch of the river. Nearly the entire journey
was made by canoeing il up the river, with &C.
cssional variations of packing his worldly
goods over the jams that are TO be met with.
One OF his finds was deserted miners cabin,
containing a fair complete set of miners
tools and hearing every appearance of long de
sertion. Some venturesome whites had left
their mark and names on a spruce tree that
he'd grown and obliterated all but the date.

WIDELY SUGGESTIVE.

An Eastern physician of enquiring mind
has been experimenting in a field and with
an effect that opens up wide range for
speculative suggestion. His experiments
have necessitated a practice which has
shocked the sensitive soul of Colonel In
gersoii and stirred his eloquent tongue to
an oratorical outburst-for a fee, in a law
case. But the public will applaud if the
vivisection, under the influence of anas-
thetics, of an occasional midnight maraud-
ms cat or mongrel cur shall lead to results
such as are promised by the experiments
under consideration.
The object OF these experiments has been
to ascertain whether excrescences or dis
eased parts can be removed from the ami
NAL brain-having ultimate reference IL
the human brain--and whether a portion
OF the brain OF one animal can be grated
upon the brain of another. A number of
highly successful experiments are reported.
and they do not belong to the class in
which the eminent success" of the experi-
ment is accompanied or soon followed by
the death of the subject. In all of these
cases the vivisected subjects have survived
and sustained no injury or inconvenience;
that is to say, portion OF the brain of one
animal has been engrsfted upon the brain
OF another. and the operation has not been
fatal 10 the latter.
In several cases part of the brain OF one
dog has been engrafted upon the brain OF
another and has adhered perfectly. In one
case convolution of a cats brain has been
imposed upon the brain of dog with
like result, and the cat survived for seven
weeks, but as the operation had robbed II
OF mental faculties, and ii required to be
fed by force, it was mercifully killed.
But the demonstration is complete that
part oil the brain of one animal can be
sngrafted upon that of another. That the
process is applicable to the brains Of hu.
man beings is fairly inferable. Whether
the transferred and appropriated brain
matter viii retain its functions as well as
its constituents is an open question. But
Il experiment shall answer this question in
the affirmative il would seem 20 make
big opening for the improvement Of the
mental condition of the human species

ology-if phrenology be a seience-an acute

THE WATER QUESTION.

The people of Seattle imperatively re-
quire better supply of water. They have
voted ample means to obtain all that is
needed or that viii be needed for some
time to come. The danger of fire, the high
rates of insurance. the pressing need for
more water for domestic uses, make this
. question which is not to be trified with.
The water is accessible: the means for
bringing it here have been provided; all
that Is required Is prompt action.
With ample means at command the
whole job should be done within the
period required for doing that part which
will consume the most time. If there are
engines to be built or material to be de-
nvered which calls for thirty days in the
accomplishment. that or about that should
be tho longest time consumed in finishing
the whole undertaking. In digging, fill
ing, trestling. excavating and the like, it
is only question of putting on more or
less men. All that are needed can be
obtained II proper effort is made.
In work of that kind what can be done
In ninety days by 100 men can be done in
thirty days by 300 men, or in the same pro-
portion If thousands of men are required.
II by good management an ample supply
is obtainable within thirty days, the au-
shorities win be Justly held responsible if
destructive fire, due to the lack of an
ample supply of water, shall occur even
-one day after the expiration of that time.
With equal justice they may be held re-
sponsible for every dollar of excessive in
surance rates paid beyond the earliest
date at which it is possible to bring in an
ample supply with the means which the
people have placed at their disposal. And
equally responsible for the inconvenience
and loss people are made to suffer from an
inadequate supply for domestic uses.
This view of the matter is just and reason
able. The people have no. hesitated to i'm
pose upon themselves heavy burthen of
taxation for this purpose. The authorities
TO whom they have confded the duty OF
attending to the matter solicited the trust.
Ii is their duty to fulfill it and to do so
promptly, wasting not even one day, nor
extending the risk of fire. the high cost of
insurance or the inconvenience of a short
supply for domestic use one single mo-
ment beyond the shortest possible time in
which the work can be accomplished. One
day may involve the loss of millions of
dollars. The people demand instant action.
