THE wORLD'S FAIR.

We print this morning suggestive
kilograms from several State capitals.
They sh wv that the Democrat tic party is
using every effort to kill tho force bill,
and that the present club in use is the
Worlds Fair.
1t is to be regretted that this course
: is pursued, but the fact is undcniablc
and must be faced. What is the cxac
situation? This Congress no long n REL
resents the sentiment of the country,
which is overwh elmingly against IL. as
the results of the November election
proved. Still more is the force bill dis
tasteful, for the Republicans cannot
control their own Senatorial strength by
six votes.

The Morris McCarty building on Holly street,
at the corner OF Railroad avenue, hes its hat
slightly canted over its eyes, and as this is due
to hole in the ground left by the old Beiling-
ham Bay coal workings. it might be feared tina
the whole city, including Fairhaven and Lum-
mi, would some day tumble into the Dit.
1t is learned from Judge J. X. jenkins,
however, that at the corner of Rail-
road avenue and Holly street. was
the old air shaft go feet deep, aud that a. the
first level was 500 feet deep, there is not much
danger Of an involuntary descent into the casa-
combA There were three levels, each running
1900 feet north under the bay, at the respective
depths of coo, 600 and go feet The main incline
was . little south of the company's machine
shops The vein was about sixteen feet wide.

Ignite. II was shrewdly suspected before
the works closed down that the company
had passed the Peabody line, but only
company men were allowed to investigate SO
that there was no row about it About thirty
white men were employed as miners, while
Chinese and Indians TO the number Of about
fifty were furnished labor. The mine caught
fire three times while IL Was being worked The
last time whatcom creek was dumed into il,
and the fire exsinguished. The mine was after
ward pumped out. When all work stopped,
contrary 70 the general notion, there was no
water in Ii, but the mine was abandoned because
il would not pay. Better veins had been opened.

HERCULES VS.. MISS NANcY.

President Warren, of Boston university.
is warmly in favor of admitting women as
lay delegates TO the Methodist general con-
ferences. These are some of his strongly
expressed reasons: Because / have
studied history, and have found that in
any of the great spheres of human activity
the isolation of men from women has
proved a loss to both. That literature is
best in which men and women write for
men and women. The education is best
in which mans strength and woman's
grace are blended. The land in which
the arts advance most rapidly is the land
in which women and men are equally free
TO invent for men and women. In all char
tiles those communities are foremost in
which sex-barriers 10 charity have never
been heard of. In the vast fielos of Chris
tian work the best results can be expected
only when men and women plan and exc
cute with mutual good understanding.
There IS strong contrast be-
tween this and the nambv-pamhv
arguments that have been offered on the
other side, mainly founded on scriptural
references to ancient Jewish ideas and Gus
toms. These latter appeal TO conditions
antedating the Christian era or embracing
It's first centuries. DR.. Warren hrea:hes
the robust responsibilities and manfulness
OF this latter end of the nineteenth CEN
tary. 1t is Hercules versus Miss Nancy.

rHx LATE GovERSoE wArERMAs.

News is received of the death of ex-Gov-
ernor Waterman, of California He has
been i'll for some time and the end is not .
surprise. He was elected on the Repub-
lican ticket as lieutenant governor, being
the only successful Republican. The DEM
ocratic candidate for governor, Mayor
Bartlett. carried the entire ticket with
that one exception. He died soon after
his inauguration, and r. w. Waterman
succeeded to the Office.
He was successful miner, who had be-
come conspicuous by his association with
the American party, but he won more
through the unpopularity of his opponent
than by his own popularity. He had little
experience in politics. less in statesman
ship, and the spectacle was witnessed of
kindly, honest old gentleman apparently
lending the influence of his office
to political Vaccinations which brought
upon him personally undcserved odium.
Many propositions suggested by him,
which were good and useful in themselves,
assumed asinister aspect by being tortured
to the interests of his advisers.
He was very ambitious to have the COM
pliment ola direct election as governor, and
that prospect sometimes induced him to
tolerate acts which he did not approve, but
which were represented to him as newt
able political expedients.
He was very staunch friend, stub
born opponent, and an affectionate hus-
band and father. He would have left
everywhere, as he will among all who
knew him intimately, reputation for
sterling integrity, had he not listened to
the voice of a siren, who has often before
lured supplemented men to their de-
struction.
