1T MIGHT lave BEEN

General Sherman and Admiral
Porter were not long laid away in
their last resting place when General
Johnson, who contracted his cold at
Gener Sherman's funeral, responded
to the last roll-call.
Generals Lee and Johnson, two Of
the greatest leaders of the Southern
army, were opposed to secession and
desired the South to remain loyal and
true to this government. If these
two great leaders had only remained
true to the old flag when the South, in
its hayward course and like spoilt
child sought its own destruction, had
thrown their hearts and swords into
the great contest that was about to be
fought on Southern soil, how, circum-
stances might have been changed and
they would have stood at the very
pinnacle of fame in our nations glory.
Lee might have been president of the
United States instead of Grant, and
johnson general of the Northern
armies instead of Sherman. Who
knows what different results such a
change in two mems lives might have
brought about.
On the American divide of the
Rocky mountains rain-drop may, by
a breath Of air, be turned so as to fall
on this side and in time find its way

THE IRON INDUSTRY

In the year 1890 the amount of iron
produced in the United States was
3,266,590 tons, and upwards of 30 per
cent of this was mined in the state of
Pennsylvania.
The state of Washington has noun
tains Of the finest and best iron and
there is no reason why this infant in
dustry should not be one Of our largest
and most profitable resources.
1t can truly be said that iron is king
and every day finds some new use for
it. As cities and nations grow and
Increase in population so must the
iron industry keep pace with our civ
ilization, and the Pacific coast should
work up more Of the raw material and
import less Of the manufactured art
icles from the East.
We have an inexhaustible field of
iron and an. abundance of coal for
cokeing purposes.
There is no doubt that we have
large quantities Of petroleum. and in
time we shall be as rich in iron, coal
and petroleum as is Pennsylvania to-
day, 1t may take little time, but
we shall not have long to wait before
our sky will be clouded with black
ened folds from the great iron fur
naces, smelters and manufactures
which will be found along the shores
of the Sound, and especially on Bell
ingham bay.

SECRET SOCIETIES

Fairhaven is remarkably endowed
with secret, benevolent, protective
and social organizations, and in this
those who look at the matter properly
will deem our city blessed. There are
those who, in their hearts, jeer at
''the jiners," and there are some who
belong to secret societies who are dis
posed to dislike some of the ceremo-
mics which they are pleased to term
"mummeries. The fact is that the
societies are all Of great good and the
ceremonies highly beneficial.
There is not a secret society in this
or any other city, established for be-
nevOlent, protective and social pur-
poses, but that in itself is a living
exemplitication of that greatest of the
beatitudes, Charity. They represent
the better instincts of people. They
cultivate fraternity, neighborliness.
good will. They increase, in immeas-
urable ratio, the facilities for forming
acquaintance, and in that particular
are peculiarly beneficial in a young
city, like this, where the people are,
in the nature of things, such strangers
to each other. They are powerful in
the prevention of strife, they are
active and strong in the explanation
of personal misunderstanding and
frequently they make warm friends Of
bitter enemies. They are nurseries
of kindness, schools Of the Golden
Rule and promoters of intelligence,
and there is not a popular secret
society known that does not make
better, far better, men Of those who
try to live anywhere near to the tenets
they hold and the rules Of life that
they teach.
AS to their ceremonies. these are
often beautiful and impressive; theyare
the vehicles through which the admir-
able and honorable doctrines of the
orders are taught, and they are cal
culated to discipline the mind and are
frequently the keys to great learning,
especially is this the case as to Masonry.
which teaches even through the
architecture of Solomons temple, and
the mathematics and history involved.
a grand system for the improvement
of mans higher nature. Many of the
less ancient orders partake of these
characteristics, and they are all good.
Without their ceremonials they would
be helpless to do much. They
would not even be good clubs, other
wise.
Fairhaven has Free Masons. Odd
Fellows, Knights Of Pythias, United
Workmen, the Grand Army, and
numerous other societies, some Of
which are of race membership, such
as American patriotic associations,
Scotch, Irish and German individu-
alities and labor organizations. May
they all thrive, prosper and be happy.

the face of it that it is no place for the
.dlscOntented.
The dissatisfied often attempt to
make dsparaging comparisons be-
tween this state and the East, when
the fact of the matter is, there is no
comparison possible between the re-
sources of the East and those of the
West. 1t is very fortunate for the At
lantic coast states that our Pilgrim
Fathers landed on the cOasg of New
England and not on the shores of the
Pacific, for many eastern states whould
be, even today, unpopulated andscOn-
sidered not worth inhabiting the
western states having more natural
sources of wealth, more discovered
and undeveloped capabilities and
brighter prospects than the East ever
dreamed Of
1t would be well if the transporta-
ton companies of the coast could fur
nish free passage to any and all who
are dissatisfied in the West, and trans
port them back to the land that has
reached its zenith and which is now
returning to its second childhood.
This is Gods own country. We are
reminded that once upon a time an

THE ILLUSTRATED AMERICAN

This is the name Of a weekly maya
zine, with offices in New York and
Chicago, that is rapidly and descrvedly
getting to be one Of the most widely
circulated publications in the repub-
lie. 1t is superbly and profusely Illus
trated with attractive engravings
made in the highest style of the art;
it is edited with spirit and with bril-
liant intelligence; it discusses Ameri-
can matters periodically, bravely and
in an exceedingly gratifying way to
true Americans, and it is altogether a
combination Of bright literature, pure
art and wholesome information that
ought to have place in every home
in this land where what it purports to
be can be appreciated.

This is Easter Sunday, next to
Christmas the most joyous festival of
the church. Aside from its other de-
lightful religious features, it is the
day on which the spring bonnet bursts
forth in full bloom, an emblem Of deep
happiness to its possessor, provided il
is as becoming as it ought to be.
Nearly all the blessed better side of
humanity make it a religious duty to
have one Of these perfect loves Of
spring bonnets on Easter Sunday.

AlTERTCANISM

1t is indeed an ill-wind that blows
no good. IL was a terrible thing to do
when thousands of the best men of a
great city arose in righteous indigna-
ti0n and cruelty slew large number
OF men. 1t was appalling, but it was
one Of those awful lessons that must
now and then be taught in that awful
way. Not only will it end, forever, in
New Orleans and other great cities of
this nation the concerted and devilish
assassinatlons by the Malta, but it
will teach other assassination associa-
tions TO beware the wrath of the
people.
More than all this, that incident,
and the cause that led to it, have
awakened the people of this nation,
more than anything else has for a
long time, TO the dangers Of alien in.
fuences upon our social and political
institutions.
