improvements until their efforts have

to render the taxes . trifing consideration.
It will not b subjected to an active
test for two years from now,
and possibly not for time much more re-
mote; but II may be open to question
whether the last provision Of section 108 il
not little too loose. Il seems only just
that the owner Of land sold for taxes should
be paid the surplus over the sum due the
county, but there ought to be limit to
the time within which such demand
should be recognized, and the statutory
period Of limitation apply to this condi-
ton. A man owning property should APP
preciate its responsibilities and look after
his own interests. The law says Eat any
time" he may recover; II he do not apply
for such surplus within seven years, the
time universally recognized As the extreme
limit Of endurance, he should forfeit to
the county that which he did not consider
It worth while to take care OF. The sums
thus accruing would make splendid
county road fund. In any case, such
demand should require 80 days notice at
least so that the county might have the
advantage Of drawing interest.
Another objection to the absence Of .
limit 10 that it might create an intangible
fund for whose inviolability nobody in
particular would be responsible.
Land il cheap in new country, taxes
are burdensome; there need be no SYM
patty wasted on the man who neglects his
property and leaves his neighbors to bear
the burden of taxation.
There il such decided improvement
over the old law, however, that this criti-
cism is not in the spirit Of fault-6nding.
On the contrary it sustains emphatically
the policy upon which this portion of the
statute is formulated.

OUR NEW MINISTER TO CHINA.


It is deemed probable that few people on
this Coast are aware how fully President
Harrison respected their sentiments on the
Chinese question in selecting the new Min
lister to China. Certainly not among prom
inent Eastern Republicans, and perhaps
not on this Coast, could he have found .
public man who has more strongly ex-
pressed himself in that connection than
has Hon. Henry w. Blair.
From his place IN the Senate, in Septem-
Der, 1883, Senator Blair said:

situation IL Of course comparatively slight, but

cisco, felt as though there had been planted in
the vitals Of American civilization the seeds OF
death unless the upas plant could be rooted up
and extirpated."
But in the course Of the same speech he
went further. and used the following
strong and emphatic language:
AT congress finds the fact that the Chinaman
not only does not assimi1ate but ought not to as
simulate with American civilizations; that his
presence In small numbers, unrestricted to be-
come infinite numbers, and therefore over

1t is to be presumed that the President
had these expressions, and full knowledge
of his appointee's sentiments on this ques-
ton in view when he made the selection.
and thus exhibited good Judgment by
sending as Minister to China one who is
unequivocally in sympathy with that por-
ton of the American people who are
brought into most intimate contact with
the Chinese.
The contrast with Cleveland's selection
of pronounced adherent of the ultra
Eastern pro-Chinese sentiment is worthy
of marked attention in these Pacific states.
Blair takes the American and Western
view of the question.

EVILS OF RASH LEADERSHIP.

The late crushing defeat of the labor
unions. in connection with the great strike
in Australia, has attracted worldwide in
terest and surprise. In view of the CON-
pactness of the organization and the great
power it had acquired on that continent.
its unexpected defeat was regarded as one
of the most marvellous events of the
period.
An article in the February Nineteenth
Censury, from the friendly pen of II. H.
Champion, makes it clear that the labor
cause in that country has been wrecked BY
incompetent, reckless and mischievous
leadership. This writer is veteran adj
vocate of the labor cause, and made the
trip from England to Australia solely in
the interest of those engaged in the great
strike in the colonies. His testimony is,
therefore, proof against suspicion Of
prejudice.
In proof of his contention that in this
case it was IAN array of lions led by asses, I"
he draws graphic picture of the power
the labor movement had acquired in Aus
tralia. 'sTheir orders were unquestion-
ably and loyalty obeyed by the whole of
the federated organizations on the contin-
ent." They were permitted to levy,
without publishing Acknowledgements, pc
cuniary tribute on the richest working
class population in the world" They re-
ceived $4,000 from Great Britain. By
their influence in the colonial parliament
they were able to wreck q ministry. And
yet, as a result of rash and unreasonable
leadership, at the end of three months
strike they were ignominiously routed.
From the same cause-unwisel leadership

Magnificent Scenery ON the Middle
Fork Of the NOoksack.
Whatcom Reveille

Fork Of tho N0Oksack.
whatcom Reveille.
The Middle Fork Of the Nooksack river 10 one
of the localities of Whatcom county which,
since the recent government surveys, has begun
to attract moro than ordinary attention. The
valley is extremely narrow, and in places the
mountains crowd in so closely as to confine the
river into canyon of not more than fifty feet in
width. The stream finds its source from among
the icy glaciers of Mount Baker, and the water
comes tumbling down over cataracts and huge
powders for several miles until they unite at
the main stream with the two other forks. Only
during the past two or three years has the
stream been at all explored, and, in fact, was
comparatively unknown, save to the adventur-
Gus trapper and hunter or mountain climber.
The hills on either side are covered with fine
timber ana this has been the incentive to large
settlement. Some Of the finest ranches in the
eastern part OF the county are being hewed out
in this locality, with the result OF bringing in
railroad facilities the Seattle, Lake Shore 4
Eastern being the first to penetrate that region.
The scenery along the Middle Fork is among
the grandest to be found any where in the neigh
borhood of the Sound country. About six years
ago some eight or ten of the prominent citizens
of this city made the first known tour of the
country, during what ID known a. the Skookum
creek gold excitement, having gone as far al the
snow line of Mount Baker. On their return
they reported the scenery along the Middle

itself was seethtng torrent, in which nothing
could pass through. Huge powders, torn from
their beds beneath their icy glaciers in the
mountains, go roaming on through the canyon
until they find resting place far below. The
roar Of the rushing waters can be heard for
many miles. At the source Of the stream, far
up the side of Mount Baker, may be
seen . view grand beyond the power of
pen to describe. Overlooking the vast expanse
of timber to the west can be seen the waters OF
Puget sound and the Gulf of Georgia, and still
father beyond, glimmering white in the sun
light, are the serrated peaks of the Coast range.
At the foot of the mountain, just to the south
of the river, are beautiful little prairies nestled
in the timber, most of which are now occupied
by settlers. Trails and wagon roads have been
cut to them, and within q twelve-month many
cattle and horses have been colonized there.
Notwithstanding the fact that this country has
been comparatively isolated, it IL bound to
receive its full share of notice in the future

Mud City Of Yuma.
YUMA, Ari1, March Yuma presents . scene
Of desolation. From the hill at the prison one
looks down on the ruins OF almost the entire
city. All day Sunday when the river was rising
for the first time the people worked on the levee
south of the town endeavoring to stay the waters.
Captain Ingalls, ret large force of prisoners at
work, and to him and the prisoners Is
due much praise for holding the waters back
until the citizens could move their household
effects to . place of safety. When the levee
began breaking and gap was made prisoner

his body till dirt could be piled up around him
to hold the water back.
Finally at O'Clock the water broke over in
many places, and Main street was like q river.
The second rise, which came Thursday, Feb

buildings saved by the levees Sunday gave way
In this. Now only timbers and piles Of mud
stand where the buildings were, and the scene

pictures OF desolation. Adonde, thirty miles from

Scarcely less serious was the failure to
enact Law 70 carry ont the provisions Of
the state constitution and Of subsequent
legislation respecting the tide lands In
harbors. The measure proposed involved
nothing new, and did not IN any way alter
the tide land policy Of the stste. II was
simply progressive in its character, pro-
viding nothing more than plan for carry
ing out policy already declared and I'M
changeabIe. But there was IN irrational
and almost insane prejudice against tide
land legislation on the part Of certain
members from east of the mountains, and
a. result of their obstructive efforts .
proper and necessary law failed Of enact
ment.
About the only measures in which King
county had special interest were the bill
legalizing Indebtedness incurred beyond
the legal limit and the bill giving Pierce
county . strip of the southern end Of
King county. The former permits Seattle
to legally assume the debt contracted just
after the Ere, and the latter gives Pierce
county control over the Tacoma harbor.
Against this latter measure there was .
good deal Of prejudice in Seattle, and the
King county members were obliged TO 60

their county commissioners and Of the Sc

right in so doing and We believe the best
sentiment Of the county and city win be
