CAN GIVE ENGINEERS POINTERS.

SEATTLE, Oct j, loSL
To THE EDITOR; Isaw some time since that
a company had been formed with the title OF the
Washington, Oregon & Idaho Railroad and Navi-
CATION Company One Of the objects OF the In
corporation was to improve the navigation OF
the Columbia river, by portage railroad around
The Dalles and Cascades, with boats to con-
meet. The system, which should be adopted, Is
one that viii take the freight from Lewiston,
Idaho, or any other part of the upper
river, and land IL at Portland or As
toris without transfer. / believe, with
my knowledge and experience. that i
could be of great service to them in establishing
such system. can build locks at the Cas-
csdes on the Washington side for less than one
half the money that is asked Of the government
to complete the one on the oregon
side, and will need but two low
waters in the river to do 1t In.
/ can give them plan Tor
railroad at The Dalles that will take the boats
over and thereby save four landings OF ell
freight. which saving alone will be good profit
on the investment. can also give them ideas
about building boats for that purpose that
will be of great value to them l should
like TO have some talk with some OF the
promoters of the scheme. II any OF them are
residents of Seattle, would be glad to have them
communicate with me, or from any other point
can give the best of references, either from
here, Portland or San Francisco. Yours truly,

Spokane Review: at also seemed to the Reuiess
that since the Democrats had blatantly pre-
dicted a ruinous advance in the prices Of neces.
saries Of life, 1t would be in order for them to
bring forward a few specifications; and so 1t
challenged all the Democratic orators when
spouting In Spokane to show from comparative

had advanced the price Of q single necessary Of

The Spokane Spokesman referring to the pro-
posal to issue city bonds, says: "Only the other

the country, said at Tacoma that he believed
that In q few months money would be more
plentiful In this country than ever before in its

M,KINLEx PRICES.

Democratic Governor Campbell Of Ohio
in his opening speech declared that the
Mckinley tariff bill reduced wages in the
Ohio potteries. The potteries at East
Liverpool at once signed and published
statement declaring that there has been
no reduction in wages since the tariff was
enacted, but "that wages average higher
and prices of the finished product lower
than for any time in five years" Governor
Campbell said that the tariff on linseed oil
had been raised from 25 to ~ cents
gallon, and that linseed oil sold in Cincin-
natl for 50 cents a gallon and in Europe
for 81 cents.
But the quotations in the Democratic
Cincinnati Enquirer showed that linseed
oil was selling in Cincinnati on the very
day the governor delivered his speech for
80 cents gallon, while it has since de-
clined to SO, or to one-half the rate of duty
the governor said the Mckinley bill inn
posed on it. The governor declared that
the duty on oatmeal had been increased,
resulting in trust and consequent in
crease in prices. And yet the quotations
showed that oatmeal was selling that day
for cents pound or $6.O5 barrel, while
on the same day in 1880 the price was 5
cents pound, or $S.25 barrel.
Governor Campbell declared that the
cost of queensware, the dishes used by the
poor man. had been increased by the tariff.
But that proved also to be the opposite of
the truth. Under Democratic revenue
tariff of "a per cent. a crate of queensware
cost sos. Every time the tariff has been
increased the prices have gone down until
now under a IS per cent. tariff crate of
eueensware can be bought for s42.
The published contracts for supplying
the department of the interior with the
81, 500, coo worth of goods required for the
Indians shows that the government has
been able to buy everything at lower rate
this year than last, excepting farm prod
ucts. For beef. bacon. lard, -four, corn,
etc, the prices were higher. showing how
the farmers have profted by the tariff.
On 100000 pounds of sugar alone the
government saved 1880 over last year.
In 1851, under the tariff of 1867, the gov
eminent paid $3.50 q pair for all wool
Mackinac blankets. Last year, I'M
der the tariff of 1883, the price
was 1886. while this year the price was
$3.50 pair for better quality of blanket.
Red flannel cost $500 cents yard in
1881; 2s.s2 cents in 1890, and $3.50 cents in
1891 Wooden socks were 81 3 a dozen
last year, and s.. 2Sh this year, and nit
tens $206K and 81. Cotton duck for tents
cost 1911 cents yard last year, and 923
cents this year. Boots were 81. 10 last year,
and si.70 this year, and rubber boots s.. 20
and S2.i3. Spool cotton was purchased for
105S cents 8 dozen less, and shears for
cents dozen less than last year. For
ironstons ware, pint bowls, IS cents a
dozen was paid last year and 81 cents this
year, and there was q like reduction on
dinner plates, pitchers. etc. Axes cost

Boulanger is dead, but Boulangism.
or the movement for constitutional revis.
ion and reform in France, is not dead but
only scotched. Boulangerism favored the
reconstruction of the French constitution
of 1879, with the substitution of the presi-
dental for the parliamentary type of gov
eminent, which now makes the ministry
accountable as in England to the fuctuat-
ing majorities of the popular branch of
the legislature. The leaders of the Bou-
langist party desired to limit the power Of
parliamentary majority by requiring, as
we do, constitutional amendment for any
serious change in the organic law. In
France today the power of changing the
constitution is practically held by the
chamber of deputies. The Boulangist
leaders desired to make the French presi-
dent the exact counterpart of the presi-
dent of the United States by endowing
him with the veto power and making his
ministers mere clerks of the executive and
in no wise responsible to the legislature
This was legitimate object of reform,
and if Boulanger had been an honest pa.
triot and statesman he would have Ia
bored to this end without discredit or
prosecution, but he was guilty of official
peculation and seditious efforts to corrupt
the loyalty of-the army, and this enabled
the government to crush him. While
Boulanger was disgraced and ruined, Bou.
langism is constitutional reform, and has
still a respectable following in France.

The decision OF Attorney-General Jones
that reading the Bible in the public
schools is sectarian instruction, and there
fore forbidden by the constitution of the
state of Washington, is supported by re-
cent decisions of the supreme court of
Wisconsin on this point, and by decisions
of the courts Of Kansas, Iowa, Illinois.
Ohio and Nevada Our state constitution
says that ''all schools maintained or sup
ported wholly or in part by the public
funds shall be forever free from sectarian
control or influence" and in the compact
with the United States" which is a part
of the fundamental law of the state, occurs
a similar provision. The attorney gen.
eral argues from these provisions as
foundation that to the non.
Christian minority in the state the Bible is
q sectarian book, and to real it in the
schools is sectarian teaching, which leads
to that sectarian influence and control
which the constitution forbids. He also
atirms that the language of the constitu-
ton guaranteeing religious freedom, and
forbidding the use of public moneys or
property for ''any religious establish
ment," clearly forbids religious instruc-
ton of any kind in the public schools, or
any part by the state, directly or in
directly, in such instruction; and finds

"A Remarkable Occurrence.

Last December, while plotting some

the next day. but the river froze over and
he had 10 vail III the ice broke up. He
was SO Fortunate rs 10 find tie watch when
he dredged for it last week. When brought
to the surface it was still ticking, and only
a few minutes behind time. The owner
explains this somewhat startling fact by
stating that the watch lay on the bed of
the river in such a position that the ebb
and flow of the tide has wound it up every

raphy that the tides down east were very
remarkable; now we know it.-Life.
