THE BOOM COMING

All indications point to a rising tide
in financial and business affairs, and
we are on the five years up grade or
infla ion period which, If the money
power is not broken up, will reach its
zenith again in 1895 and begin to re-
trace its steps toward another crash.
As heretofore stated by the HERALD,
Wall street millionaire spectators
have scraped in at very low prices the
bonds, stocks and mortgages that we're
held by old people, widows and orphans,
and will hold them until they can bring
the country and prices up TO a boom
wave before they sell. Mr.. Henry
Clews' weekly Wall street circular
says;
At last the anticipated "bull" cam
paign in the stock market appears to
have fairly set In. For several weeks past
there has been more or less general feel
Ing that the prices of securities were
ranging below their intrinsic value.
In spite OF the depressing influences so
persistently maintained the marketyalues
OF securities have been steadily maintain
ed; and now that the causes OF depression
have disappeared or lost their their innu-
ence, the conclusion Is very general that
the time has come for a legitimate "bull'
market. There is more, however, than
the disappearance of unfaverable condi-
tions. New conditions OF more than
usually encouraging nature have come
into play. The country has the promise
oJ harvest OF more than ordinary abund-
ance, concurrently with poor crops in
other countries, which suggests the prob
ability OF large export Of cereals at high
prices. This means a year of unusual
prosperity for the agricultural West and
consequent large traffic for the railroads
An exceptionally good harvest will
mean the liquidation OF farm mortgages,
the proceeds OF which may be expected 10
seek employment In securities which find
their market In Wall street. Already
these prospects are beginning to have
their effect upon the trade at large. The
merchandise markets generally are doing
heat v and steadily increasing bust
ness; aud the iron trade, the best bar
ometer OF business, shows n marked i'm
provement In demand for all It's products

THE FAREWELL TRIP

The owners and officers of the
steamer State of Washington. with
their deep friendliness for the city of
fairhayen, determined to give as
many of the people of this city as pos.
sible a free and pleasant excursion tC
the islands before the boat leaves "foI
good and ALL" Yesterday was the day
set for the excursion, but as the
state" was detained up-SOund until
late in the afternoon yesterday, the
officers very kindly, and with Mr.. Ben
nett's cheerful consent, decided to
hold the boat over until today and
give the excursion on this date. East
Sound, on Orcas Island, will be visited,
and if the weather today is as it has
been for the past week the trip will be
one of the most delightful.
The following paragraph concerning
the affair was sent TO the HERALD
last evening by Purser McClelland, of
the State Of Washington:
1.-THE Pacific Navigation Company
regret exceedingly that the State >
through an unavoidable delay did not
reach the bay in time for her trip to
the islands, Wednesday. She lays oyer
here in order to make the trip on
Thursday, leaving on the same time
40 o'clock, and it is hoped all those
who intended going will be on board

The Spokane Spokesman says: "The
story that comes from Olympia that
the surveyor-general has letter from
the interior department explaining
how the state lands can be secured.
should be at once Investigated by the
state officials. 1t would be absurd for
the encouragement to make a trip 10
Washington only to find out that such
letter was in existence" The
HERALD took the position, long ago,
that this could be done without the
aid of an extra session of the legisla-
ture. BY the way, has anybody heard
anything OF little stray that answers
TO the name of extra session? Last
heard Of IL, it had crawled under the
perfectlng press in the Press-Times

GROWING STRONGER HOURLY

James G.. Blaine shall be the next
president OF the United States.
The Boring Sea dispute, the Italian
question and the Chilean compiled.
ton have all piled up inside of a few
months, and he has grasped each as a
master statesman, and with ability
which challenges the admiration OF
the world.
James G.. Blaine's great stroke on
reciprocity placed him in advance of
any other man in America. and he is
appreciated today as he has never
been before.

1t is true that Benjamin has taken
whirl through many states of the
Union, but not one Of Blaine's adj
mirer's has weakened or lost faith In
the great prince of Parliamenta-
rians."
No statesman stands out today, and
is admired by the mass Of the people,
so much as the present secretary of
state. The Farmers Alliance has
faith in him, and will support him.

Anacortes American: One of the most
delicate compliments paid to President
Harrison in his journey was that offered
by Tacoma, in its rendering a special re-
ceptiOn to Mrs. Harrison. or all the
howerS lavished upon him, the fragrance
of this tribute to his wife should abide
with him the longest. We have left the
day far behind in which the husband is
the all-and -in-all and his wife only a
necessary adjunct. Were the truth known,
It might be seen that Mr.. Harrisons pres
ent position at the head of this nation is
as largely due to the courage and devotion
OF his noble wife as to any other one
factor, and the claims for public respect
be as justly due to her as to the presi-
dent himself. If this be political affair,
then Mrs. Harrison were better off at
home; but If otherwise, then Tacoma
stands alone in the chivalry of its sp,en-
did Offering

young lieutenant, posted with his COM

fire at detachment of troops who were

Amateur Gardening.
Bring out the rusty garden rake,
Hunt up the hoe and spade,
For spring is here, and it is time
To have the garden made.
Your wife will lean upon the fence
And watch you while you work.
She's always prompt to give advice,
She'll never let you shirk.
Don't waste your time in trying TO tell
The bulbs from worthless weeds;
Dig them all up; that's easiest, and
You'll need the room for seeds.
Work hard, man, you won't break you
back,
Though you may fear you may.
Don't stop to lean upon your spade
Think what your wife will say
Then when you've got the garden dug,
The seeds all out of sight,
You'd better hire gardener
To do it over right.

time to honor those who fell fighting

is well for the country, its future

hatreds that existed between sections
of our country and divisions of our

local interests, such differences should
never stand in the way of patriotism
and unity as against our foreign enc
