No Two Alike.

There are no two things in the
world just exactly alike. No two cows
are exactly alike, and tie individual
is constantly changing, like her own
er, from year to year. This calls for
constant watchfulness and individual
treatment of the COW, according to the
demands of her condition. So far as
possible the COW should be given the
opportunity of selection of food, and
the time whom to drink water and
when to eat salt; when to stand idle.
when to forage when to lie down and
when to move around. Bee keepers
study the habits and wants Of their
bees; the dairyman should do the
same with his cows.

Speaking OF that northwest country, the state
OF Washington shows o more magnificent adj
vance during the past ten years than any other
state ever did in this Union. It's population ten
years ago was but about 5000 Now it is Just
about five times 1900 people, showing an in.
crease OF nearly 400 per cent Noone can appre-
ciate the rush and roar there who has not been
there TO see. There is probably not another so
Interesting spot in the Union today, to the
business man, as the Puget sound country.
Great cities are springing up all around It, and.
when asked what is to support those cities. the
people exultingly point TO their timber. to
their agricultural lands, to their mines, to their
fisheries, and to the great ocean that rolls be-
fore them. In the matter of mines, an old
shrewd miner told q friend of the
writer OF this a few days since, that

THE LABOR PARADE.

Nothing in the previous history Of Seattle
in the way of popular demonstration has
ever surpassed the Labor Parade OF yester-
day. Il was indeed most interesting
spectacle. The procession was upwards of
one mile and a half in length. and there
were nearly four thousand men in line, rep
resenting about forty different trades and
industries. 1t was a sight splendidly illus
trative of the magnitude OF our industrial
organization and of the character of the
men who compose it. In no city in the
world could there be massed finer body
of workingmen. The proceedings were
decorous and dignifed in the highest de-
gree. and creditable alike to the city and to
its workmen.
In viewing this magnificent procession of
independent workingmen, illustrating in
their personal appearance and manly bear
ing the general prosperity of their condi-
ton, it was only natural to reflect that here
was an effect of the American system. In
no other country in the world would just
such scene be possible-and yet, within a
few weeks we shall have theorists and DEM
agogues running about the country pro-
claiming that the protective policy of our
government is a failure and seeking the
votes of the very men who marched through
our streets yesterday in support of scheme
which would destroy that policy.

withdrawal of the army the town was soon
abandoned and business eeutered at Friday

Bucoda Enterprise: I've suggest that some

OF attending the dances without company and
who put themselves forward in having very
pleasant time in company with ladies VINO have
escorts, that they show their chiyalry by asking
some young lady for her company next sasur-
day evening. 1t is notable fact that there are
few who pride themselves on having COM
pany on such occasions, and with number Of
young ladies who attend in company with their
brothers, our dances are invariably pleasant
affairs; bat we think that If some Of our promi-
nent young men were more gallant in their At

sHoRTsIGHrED CRITICISM.
Says the Omaha, Nebraska, Bee:


Colorados silver production averages 81, 000-
600 per month. The recent advance IN price is
estimated 20 have added 100000 TO the value of
the monthly proiucs With SUCH marked BEN
Gifts flowing from favorable legislation it is not
surprising that the bullionsires feel encouraged.
But wnsr; does the farmers profit come in?
From the tone of this item the reader
will infer that the Bee, published in the ag-
ricultural state OF Nebraska. must feel
jealous of the benefits conferred upon Col
orado by the rise in silver, and must have
an impression that these benefits to the
silver producers of Colorado are damage,
or at all events of no advantage to the
farmers of Nebraska. And this notwith-
standing the fact that the two states are
immediate neighbors, intimately connected
by social and business relations.
If the Bee will examine Its Chicago files
of dates preceding the passage of the silver
bill, when bullion was quoted at 80 to 90
cents an ounce, and then will turn to later
dates, when bullion had gone up to s1.2o
an ounce or thereabout. and will also note
the Chicago quotations for the respective
dates on wheat, pork, bacon, lard. etc., it
will find corresponding rise in those sta

profits and because of them. They come
in on the same principel that big crops.
good prices and prosperous season among
the farmers of Nebraska must be of adj
vantage to all with whom those farms have
dealings or have business relations. If, as
a result OF that legislation, Colorado's
silver product has risen to s., 10000 per
month, instead of s., 600. 900 per month as
formerly, it Is not conceivable that this can
in any manner damage Nebraska farmers,
but by improving the condition of body
of their nearest customers, it cannot but
benefit them.
And the beauty of it is that these mutual
advantages to the Colorado silver pro-
ducers, and to the Nebraska farmers, and
to the merchants, tradesmen and others
who have dealings with both classes, are
reaped without injury to anybody. The
government is not paying for the bullion
as much as 1t will circulate for when
coined into dollars. Under the law no
higher price can be paid for bullion than
the equivalent of the coined dollars ratio.
So that the government cannot at any
time be a loser by the operation.
And the same is true of the general
public. To those who receive 4l2lS grains
OF coined silver for dollars worth of
produce, merchandise or other property, it
is an advantage, rather than the reverse,
that the bullion value of that COIN is quite
or almost equal to its fiat value. If the
Bee will study this matter more closely it
will ind that what it calls the bullion
aires" are but primarily and incidentally
the benefeiaries of this measure, which
by a reasonable increase OF the currency
will benefit all sections and all classes of
people.

It seems now pretty definitely settled
