How to Keen Young.

Here's hint for people who want to keep
young for great many years of their life,
and is there any one of US that does not A
persons age depends largely upon the point
OF view from which he IS considered. Con-
sidered as applicants for the position of presi
dent off bank, you and I would be rather
young, you know. Considered as applicants
for the position as messenger we would be
old. That's where the hint lies-a hint both
for men and women. Keep on reaching out
after something little farther on than per-
son Of your years usually gets. For instance,
primary school teacher of thirty would be
old. The same woman filling aprofessorship
in college at The same age would be young.
The same course of reasoning applies to men.
If you want TO keep yourself young, there
fore, do something worth doing-get on in

Christianity the Remedy for Social Evils

If Christianity were universally adopted,
all social evils would vanish there would be
few very rich persons comparatively few
would be poor, and those would be worthy
OF abundant sympathy and help, which they
would receive. At gathering of socialists
at the grave of Carl Marx, celebrating the
anniversary of his death, one of the speakers
declared, "The three things which the world
needs are solidarity, energy and selfsacrifice"
Self-sacrifice is another word for disinterest-
edness, and this needs Christianity as F. d.
Maurice, the English rector, socialist, and
friend OF Kingsley, said, BE very sure ofths,
that no human creatures will be found say
ing sincerely Our brothers on earth unless
they have said previously Our Father which
art in heaven"
Prescriptions for the relief of symptoms or
for deadening sensibility to pain can at beet
serve but a temporary purpose IF while
serving that purpose they divert attention
from constitutional maladies which if left to
themselves will inevitably prove fatal, the
good that they may do becomes infioitesmal
in comparison with the evil. Reformers
may or may not have doubts of the super
natural origin of Christianity, and may or
may not openly ally themselves with any of
its visible forms, but without its aid, directly
or indirectly, any scheme which antagonizes
Christianity must be limited in its application
and restricted in its duration 10 the lifetime
OF ite founder or his immediate successors.

after the great fires at Chicago, Seattle
and possibly elsewhere, there was a tenn
porary inconvenience of . few hours. But
hunger may be said to be practically I'M
known, at least In the western part Of this
continent. There Is improvidence, disso-
luteness and even laziness to be occasion
ally found, but to those who have the viii
and the strength to work. day OF want is
never known, and 10 the children born
here of thrifty parents famine Is only as
grim and awful story Of another world.
1t is no wonder that the half-starved
hordes of Europe turn with longing eyes
to a land where hunger never stalks
abroad, where plenty abounds and the nec-
essaries of life are to be had with little eff
fort. The only wonder is that, once here,
contentment should not deaden the bitter
ness which terminates in the heart Of the
famished and oppressed. Those vino come
to this country from the miseries of their
own should be the last to raise hand or
voice because It may have some imperfec-
tons. And those whose blessed fortune 10
is to live in a land so gloriously endowed
may learn lesson of grateful patience by
a better knowledge Of the contrast il af-
fords with all other nations of the earth.

MUNICIPAL EXPENSES.

Seattle is not the only city whose street
Improvements are causing trouble to the
municipal government. Olympia is in
very much the same condition, and the
city council has declared it TO be the sense
OF that body that no more grading shall
be done unless the owners of abutting
property are willing to advance the neces-
sary funds for the improvement. The city
council has also declared in favor of a
vigorous policy in dealing with taxpayers.
The suggestion of Mayor Horr as to re-
curing prepayment by property-owners
may be the best for Olympia, bu. it is not
the best for Seattle. The cost of grading
these streets is too great to be imposed
upon the average property-owner, who is q
man of small means. Every in
ducement should be held out
to citizens to become property-owners
and any attempt to insist upon immedi-
ate payment as the only method would be
as unwise as it is unnecessary. The bond
system is the best; the lien upon the prop
erty makes such bond safe investment,
and money is generally to be had at the
rate of interest it usually carries.
The condition of the city debt in Olym-
pia and the remarks of the mayor there
upon are worthy the attention of the
Seattle authorities. He warns the coun-
Gil that halt must be called in the ex-
penditures. The limit for issuing war
rants had about been reached, he says,
and he warns them that when that point
is met he will positively refuse to sign any
more warrants. The city is now paying
interest to the amount of $4,000 year.
and the uncertainty of the ability of the
city to place the new bonds adds to the
complications.
The objection is there, as here, to the
floating Indebtedness and not to the ex-
penditure Of money for desirable improve
ments. Ten per cent. soon eats its way
into the treasury, and is q wasteful misuse
OF public funds, # money can be obtained
at 5 per cent. or. as the usual cost is, with
commission and accumulated interest, 6
per cent.
So far as Seattle is concerned, while
there is no excuse for extravaganza. the
debt created by the improvements which
have been made is not to be regretted.
1t may be that the old council (which had
one or two men in it who are now inter-
ested in crying out about expenses) was
reckless in giving orders for lumber and
for iron work, and enabled a few to reap a
rich harvest, but on the whole the city
benefits. If there was any indiscretion it
was in trying to compass within two years
what most cities have taken ten to accom-
plish

A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.

A suggestion has been made that as
there may possibly be difficulty in float
ing so large an issue of bonds as wosid be
necessary, if the entire liability of the
city were to be provided for at once, a
temporary arrangement might be effected.
1t is that the interest on city scrip be
made payable semi-annually, that is, at
intervals of six months from the date of
the warrant. instead of allowing it to &C
cumulate to be paid with the principal.
The credit of the suggestion belongs to
City Treasurer Ames, who finds by
contact with scrip-holders here and by
correspondence with those abroad, that
they are quite willing to hold it on such
terms. The effect would be to make the
warrants at once a revenue-bearing in
vestment which would be much sought
after and save the city the loss and the
discredit of a discount. The only objec-
ton that has been urged against it is that
by enhancing the city's credit it would
encourage extravaganza. That seems
very weak obi ection. 1t is certainly more
desirable TO strengthen our credit abroad,
and quickly, with business-like methods.
pursue an economical course at home
than TO scare ourselves into economy by
getting into discredit in the Eastern
money market.

WHERE HUNGER Is UNKNOWN.

Tho terrible suffering in many parts of
Europe through floods and deficient crops
should be more widely known in the
United States than il is. The various
governments and the commercial interests
combine to suppress the facts, and it is
only occasionally that they creep out by
fugitive correspondence. The political
grapevine" method of getting news from
remote parts of Russia TO sympathizers in
America has been the means of giving an
idea of the condition of the peasantry in
some of the provinces Of that vast despot-
ism.
But along the entire isothermal belt
which passes over Spain, Italy, Greece,
Turkey, and so across Russia, the scenes
are often appalling. Thousands are dy-
ing of starvation, and as many more have
not cooked a meal for months, but have
subslsted through that mockery of sweet
charity, government soup kitchen.
From Spain. brief dispatches have been
published of floods. but in very much the
same language as was used in describing
the floods along the Colorado, where not
more than ten people were drowned.
In the province of Toledo, Spain.
thousands of lives have been lost, and
those who were spared from the waters
are dying Of starvation. 1t is related that

with the nrst consignment of bread

AFFAIRS AT GILMAN.
DIR. HarrelPs Statements Denied By
senator Rutter and Others.

The statements of DR.. HarreiI to a Posr-IN-
rELLI6EscER reporter on Sunday concerning
the situation at Gilman are emphaticalIy denied
by several men who were In town from that place
yesterday. The aspersions against the character
of Postmaster George Parks were especially
objected TO by all. They deny that Parks is the
leader of mob, and that, on the contrary, he
has been taking steps to bring about solution
OF the difficulty. 1t is maintained that his posi-.
ton has been TO urge the men to assert their
rights, but to commit no overt act under any
circumstances. It IL also said that the
statements made concerning Parks are origi-
mated for the purpose of preiudicing public
opinion against him in the case against him in
the Federal court for Withholding mail. Senator
W. c. Ru,ter has just returned from Gilman,
and last night said:

"EIGHT HOURS" AND THE TARIFF.

The chief obstacle to an eight hour dav
in the workshops of the Uniteds States is
the competition of Europe. There the
period of daily labor in the factories runs
from ten TO thirteen hours, and the conse.
quence Is, in connection with the lower
rate of wages, that the European manu.
facturer can undersell the American man.
ufacturer in his own markets in nearly
every line not covered by the protective
tariff. Take the matter of furniture, for
example: There is at present a S. per
cent. ad va.orem duty on imported furni-
ture, and, as result. only about half a
million dollars worth was imported last
year. But for that duty immense ouanti-
ties would have come in from Canada and
also from European countries. where raw
materials for furniture are nearly as cheap
as here, and the cost of labor is but a half
or third. 1t is this duty, and this alone.
which enables the cahinet-makers of the
country to demand, as they are now de-
handing at Chicago and elsewhere. the
shortening of the hours of labor, and with
out the tariff their appeal would be homeless
because II would be impossible for their
employers 10 compete with the product of
European factories.
Strangely enough. there are among those
who activity urge the adoption of the eight
hour rule, many who also support. by their
support Of the Democratic party. abroga-
ton Of the protective tariff, failing to see
that the two things are practically incon-
sistent The only hope of the eight-hour
movement lies in the maintenance of a
tariff that will keep out the competition of
countries where twelve hours is demanded
