owing to it's geographical aituation has been
and Is undergoing a constant process OF
growth aud development. augments the
Importance of its financial exhibits. The
annual report OF the company for the year
ended, June 90. which has just appeared,
therefore demands examination. The year
lS9O-'9l was on tho whole one OF prosperity
for the company and of development and
increase in its business. At the same time
it must be remembered that the scanty crop
throughout the wheat producing region
along the eastern end Of it's line had some
effect upon the current earnings of last
autumn and winter. This, Of course, was
offset to n considerable extent by the large
crops in the Puget sound and Pacific coast
regions traversed by the co%mpany's lines,
while tho boom in the development OF the
Puget sound cities was still in full play
during the greater part OF the period in
question with a natural effect upon the
traffic and earnings of the railroad. As a
result the gross earnings of the company
for the fiscal year show an increase of over
So, 500, 900, although a somewhat more than
proportionate augmentation of the operat-
ing expenses reduces the gain in net earn
ings to u little over 100000.

SECRETARY BLAINE's letter to that
Ohio man, who asked him what he
really did say about the Mckinley bill
when that measure was pending in con
gress, makes matters no better for
Mckinley. What Mr.. Blaine said, &C.
cording to his own statement, was this:
81 do not doubt that in many respects
the tariff bill pending in the senate is a
just measure and that most of it's pro.
visions are IN accordance with the wise
policy of protection, but there is not g
section or line in the entire bill that will
open a market for another bushel O.
wheat or another pound Of pork"
In other words the only redeemina
feature of the bill WAS the amendment
that Mr.. Blaine forced upon it against
Mckinley's vigorous opposition. II
strikes lis that is a left-handed argu-
ment infavor OF the major. If he should
be elected governor Of Ohio he would
have no brother Blaine at his elbow tc
make HIM do right against his will. A
statesman who is wise only by reason Of
that which he borrows from somebody
else is not Of the sort of which SUCCESS.

R LITERATURE.

In the November number of the New
England Magazine, Walter Blackburn Harte
makes a plea for q world without books.
He thinks that education is not an un-
mixed blessing, as the greater the intelli-
pence of individuals and people the greater
is their capacity for suffering.
One of the most striking articles OF, the
month will be an article, by Mr.. Frank b.
Sanborn, on 1.-THE Home and Haunts of
Lowell" in the New England Magazine for
November. Mr.. Sanborn was a friend of
Emerson and Thoreau, and his clever arti-
Gle on Emerson and His Friends at Con-
cord" in the same magazine, will be re-
called by this n on Lowell. The article
will be finely illustrated with sketches by
clever pencil and pen and ink artists, and a
known to the public.
The Forum for November will be a mum
be: of especial political interest, for it will
contain articles on "The Degradation of
Pennsylvania Politics." by Mr.. Herbert
Welsh, of Philadelphia; ''The Regulation
of the Lobby in Massachusetts," by Josiah
Quincy, setting forth the operations of the
law to restrain the lobby; The Danger Of
the Farmers Alliance" by Senator John II.
Morgan, of Alabama; and "The Death of
P~olygalny in Utah. by Chisf-Justioe Zane,
of Salt Lake City. In the same number
Edward A. Freeman, the English historian,
the highest living authority perhaps on the
subject, explains the political situation in
Europe, pointing out the specific dangers to
peace. Another remarkable article on the
armies and politics of Europe, from an
American point of view, by Mr.. William
Il. Thayer, who records the results of
studies recently made in Europe of the
political and military situation. These
two articles together make a complete re-
view of the present European situation,
and give a clear understanding of the
status of each of the great powers.

and wished him ''godspeed."
He remained four days in NaRasaki. and
took from there the Kobe Maru to Yoko-
hama. He remained in Yokohama sixteen
days. He was afraid to go to the Russian
consul for fear he might have a picture Of
him and find some way to have him shipped
to Vladivostock. He finally sneaked
aboard the Empress of India, and lay hid
till she got to sea. The wound in his arm.
which had not been attended to, was IN a
very bad condition, and the ships surgeon
had to attend to it. 1t is now healing
nicely.
His story was sufficient to earn enough
from the passengers and officers to save
him from a s%towaway's punishment.

THERE are too many frllls on the
Worlds fair enterprise. That costly bu-
real of publication, conducted by Major
Handy, is one of them. 1t ought to be
abolished and the money saved to the
taxpayers. That South American annex,
engineered by w. E. Curtis, is another.
1t is preposterous to vote 100000 to
such a scheme. Reform, gentlemen,
and cut down your expenses. Abolish
the %sinecures and jobs, and give the
people true value for their money. You
will be asking congress for $4,000, 900
this winter, and you want to be mighty
good.

DENVER has a useful institution in a
mercantile and manufacturing bureau,

that city. During the last fifteen months
it has secured the location of thirteen
manufacturing industries in the city,

BEFORE the New York campaign
opened, when it was reported that Mr..
Cleveland would take no part in it, the
republican organs shouted in chorus
that Mr.. Cleveland was jealous of other
democratic leaders and wanted to main
tain his supremacy in the party aver at
the expense of their defeat. The critics
were completely upset when Mr.. Cleve-
land appeared on the platform in sup
port of Flower, but they have recovered
their equilibrium and gone at him
again. They call him a tool of Tam
many hall, a machine politician and
other hard names, and advise him to
come off the stump at once if he desires
to save his reputation. They are hard
people to please, those republican edi-.
tors, but perhaps your Uncle Grover
isn't trying very hard to placate them.

The Portland Oregonian deals with
political questions with more frankness
than the average republican organ. 1t
says, of the fall elections: Republican
victory in New York is so improbable
that, should it occur, it will go far to de-
termine the result of next years presi-
Dental contest in advance. So would a
democratic victory upon the general
ticket in Ohio, which is equally lmprob-
able" But if both states should go
democratic-whew!

Representatives of the Repub-
hcan party never more consplcu-
ously showed that they possessed
the courage of their convictions
than did those of Ohio on Wednes-
day, when they nominated by ac-
clamation the author of the Nc
Kinley bill. To do it may or may
not have been good politics-that
is as it may appear in November
but that it was an act OF high
courage no one can doubt, II

CANT VS.. MORALITY.

The famous "Beecher trial was
a deplorable affair in many re-
spects, says Puck, but it served
one good end. Itopened the door
of one of the most offensive whited
sepulchres ever known, and let a
great volumn of noxious gas es-
cane and lose itself in the fresh
air. 1t showed what a community
may come to when 1t lets cant and
lip-service take the place Of plain
common, every day morality; and
it showed forth a set of people
who were practicing all sorts of
cheap immoralities under the
cloak ofreligious sentiment.
These were people who started
out decently enough; but who had
cheated themselves into taking
religious talk for religion; who
having nothing solid to tie up to
had drifted into a sloppy and high
lv immoral sentimentality.
The worst part Of the Beechel
trial however, was the way the
church tried to clear its pas
tor.
The members Of Beechor's
church would not listen to EVIL
dence and bounded every man anc
woman who dared to testify to an,
fact proving Beecher's guilt.
This is the way with all church
es. 1T is a mistake to think tina
any Point can be gained b
hushing up the wrong doings OF
pastor.
When his good name is assailed
he should demand and immed1at
investigation, or Lis churc
should, and the facts should b
known at once and the sooner tn
better.
Churches have gone to sue
wretched straIghts to "vindlcate
pastors, that a vindication of
pastor after his good name ha
been sullied, amounts to little c
nothing.

Odors Vary in Fashion.

"Let me tell you little trick that all
the willy little nineteenth century
maidens are learning" said an Avenue
druggist to Post reporter, 1t is this:
IAN incense of sweet odors has a fas.
cination for men, subtle, unnamable
half unconscious, yet alluring, power
full and mighty. The common run of
everyday mortals can hope at best to
be only fresh and clean smelling unless
they resort to artificial means to pro-
duce the eXhalations that are so deli
cious and bewitching. The first step in
the progress is marked when one learns
to mix a quantity of some sweet
scented water with the bath. Then
comes the art of mingling the same per-
fume with the clothing, and finally
there is the knack of carrying lingering
associations of it on the person in such
manner that no one can detect the
real from the artificial, nor sachet froaI
natural freshness. Washington Post

TRIUMPH OF THE POET.
The "Man of Passion" secures for Himself
a Henrlnn.

-
The editor was sealed at his desk.
The long-pointed shears was gliding
gracefully throagh the sheets of the
last exchange, And the society editor
was in the business office trying to dis
pose of pound of wicllless candles,
left that morning by swindling sub
scriber for weeks edition of the Okla
homa Boomer.
Bang! Bang!' A gentleman rap.
ping on the door was heard.
Come in, cried the weary editor
A fierce-looking man entered. He was
about six feet =. height, wore a heavy
black beard and was attired in typi-
cal far-west apparel, with revolvers,
knife, etc.
81 want to see the editor of this ing
derned paper" he Numbered out in a
deep, bass voice.
81 have the honor of being that per-
son and take pleasure in placing myself
at your service, murmured that fright
cned individual.
"'Taint much honor bout these
parts, replied the fierce visitor. Look
hyar, out thar III Red Paint Camp thev
calls me the Man of Passion. So l am.
An Eve got er record of seven men, too.
Don't fergit it,
The editor wasn't likely to. He looked
longingly around for some chance to es-
cape, thinking that the "Man of Pas
sion" had come to resent somethin ,
that the Boomer had published concern
ing him.
MY name is Big Pete Little. / hearn
you had paper down hyar, so | thought
as how I'd come over an see if you
didn't want ter put sum of my poitry in
your paper"
The secret was out. He was Il spring
poet.
The editor heaved sigh of relief.
ST am very sorry, sir: but we are not
publishing any poetry at present. Per-
haps at some future time we may de-
eide to publish such matter, and then |
will be only too glad to consider your
brilliant efforts said the editor
"What's that? You won't take it, eh?
Wen see. Look hyar, I've cum all the
way from Red Paint, with twenty-six
poims fer you to print, an I've told
every cuss | met all along the road that
my poitry was goin' ter be in this week s
paper. Now, what are you goin' ter do
about it,
81 can't take it, sir"
eyes, you kin; an you've got ter!'
"But my dear sir, it is impossible"
mo taint. Now look hyar. 1 said 1
had er record of seven, didn't 1? Well,
eff you don't take an put every dod-
gasted poim that ! have in this pack
into your tenderfooted, iingle-dee pa
per, make you the eighth. What do
yer say?'
The editor had become pale Trem-
bling all over he got out Of the range
of the two, shining, miniature cannons
leveled at him by that fierce poet and
in chatteriug tones said: I'll don't
llno-know. IL g-g-guess l can find
room for it. Ye-y-yes, I'll publish it."
''All right, that settles it. An don't
fergit to send me bout fifty copies up
ter Red Paint ter give out TO the boys"
The next week the first three pages
of the Boomer contained sprint poetry
by Big Pete Little, the "Man of Pas
sion" The fourth was devoted to the
editors reasons why he found it i'm
practicable to run paper any longer
in the wild and woolly west. He left
town the next day. The spring poet at
last had triumphed.- William j. Worth,
