THEY SAY

Globe; Oakville has all the primary
requisites of future great city.
Oakville Globe: Rich gold bearing
quartz has been discovered near Centralia,
and t. would not be strange Il rich hedges
were yet developed near Oakville. 1t Is
possible, and not altogether improbable.
Okanogan Outlook: There has been
quite stampede of prospectors from Con
coBully and Ruby district to Palmer
mountain for the past three or four days,
caused by a strike on the Rainbow, and
the exhibition of some magnificent speci-
mems Of free gold quartz.
Centralia Leader: In Centralia, Wash
ington, the fairest portion of the fairest
young state in the Union, Is born the
central city. 1t weighs several tons TO
begin with, and Is bound by every reason
of location and tributary resources to be
your metropolis 1t is chrlstened Chelan
Falls.
Spokane Chronicle: In the Colyille
district the miners are working with tar
more confidence than they have ever had
before, and the amount of mining that
will be done In that country In the next
year will be enormous. and from a very
profitable standpoint, as the ore so far
struck by the mines in operation is of a
solid nature, a small amount of which Is
concentrates.
Spokane Review: If Governor Pen
meyer were not entirely wrapped up in his
own greatness, he could see what every
man must see who looks into the case
that in his controversy with Governor
Ferry. over the extradition Of the Cush
ngs he has taken an untepable position
in law, and in so doing has uneashed
upon society two criminals who ought
now to be behind prison bars.
Port Townsend Leader: Sylvester lie
Gourif, huge Italian fisherman, of AS
toria, who is known to fame as the man
who attempted to win 81 900 by starding
up for four rounds before John l.. Sulli-
van, when that celebrity visited Astoria,
is locked in jail. lie has been growing
insane ever since Sullivan struck him,
and has grown dangerous. His hacker.

countryman, is backing boots in a San

every effort was made I'm the face of
the most determined opposition to
secure the prize. Not the least potent
among the arguments used was the
fact Of New York's inaction on the
Grant memorial and the promise never
fulfilled TO erect at Riverside park a
suitable monument TO the hero on the
Rebellion.
The message conveying the news
that Chicago had been selected as the
site. had scarcely been received before
active work had been begun.
At this early day agents Of the man
agement are securing every nook and
corner OF the Western Hemisphere for
suitable materials for exhibition.
Every state in the Union has its com
mittee actively cooperating with the
Chicago bureau and emissaries are be-
ing sent across the seas to aid in the
work of arranging for the representa-
tion OF foreign countries. The citl-
zens Of Chicago have the double task
of entertaining the largest concoursc
Of people ever brought together on
American soil, and the providing of
sufficient, in the way Of exhibits and
attractions, to repay her visitors for
the journey, and there is no reason to
apprehend that they will fail in either
| particular.
Chicago's connection with every
important railway system of the
country insures ample facilities for
transportation, while the geo
graphical situation of the
city viii afford to visitors
from a distance the opportunity OF
viewing a considerable portion OF
Uncle Sans domain.
Thousands of foreign visitors, who
would have founded their ideas OF
Americans and American institutions
on New York basis, had that city
been chosen as the location for tn
| Worlds Fair, will be taken thousand
miles into the interior, and enabled tC
realize the wonderful development OF
a country which but one hundred
years ago was engaged in an apparently
hopeless struggle with the world''
greatest military power, and which
was limited in point OF population ant
development to narrow strip of ter
ritory on the A tlantic seaboard.
Nothing succeeds like success,
and Chicago's success in everything t.
which she puts her hand is a sufficient
guarantee that the Worlds Fair vii
he the grandest exposition of moderr
times.

THE WORLDS FAIR

For many reasons, we have cause 10
congratulate ourselves on the fact
that Chicago was selected as the loca-
tion OF the Columbian Exposition to
be held in 1893. The enterprise and
push Of the Windy City" is proverb-
ial The great fire Of 1871 served to
give Chicago the most extensive, as
well as the most costly, advertising
ever received by any American city
The generous gifts OF money and
material sent TO Chicago after the fire,
we're not confined TO the United
States, many European communities
contributing handsomely to the relief
of the fire stricken city.
The citizens OF Chicago and the
state of Illinois raised, within one
month, the sum of three millions for
the relief OF the sufferers, and within
the year forty-dve millions had been
expended ia building brick and stone
blocks TO replace the untiquated
structures destroyed by the Ere, while
the volume Of trade was much larger
than ever before.
This tremendous impetus in bust
ness opened up new channels of COM
merce, bringing Chicago in touch with
every commercial center Of the Old
and New World, and it is safe to say
that no other American city, save
New York, has a more extensive bust
ness connection or wider influence in
the world OF commerce.
Chicago's nerve was never bet
ter exemplitied than in the fight
with New York over the location OF
the Columbian Exposition.
Fully alive TO the immense advan-
tages to be derived from the fair,

HRHER AND ALLIANCE

There is not published, in this coun-
trys newspaper more friendly TO
farmers and farmers interests than
the HERALD, and yet it cannot con
sistently look on in silence and see the
most useful and respected class of
citizens in the county hoodwinked
and hoodooed by few cranks and
scheming politicians, without saying a
word, which, to the wise, is sufficient.
While we feel that we have 1.-THE
best government on the face Of the
earth,n we also must admit that
we have many grieyous faults in our
system which the brightest minds OF
the age have been unable to
eradicate. 1t is not likely
that few cranks, like Knox Of Seat
tie, who harangued the people at
Whatcom last Saturday, will be likely
to furnish any very lucid plan for the
ameliOration Of the condition Of the
farming class. The Grange was a
good society in its incipiency, but its
members prostituted it to politics, and
though many communities were
shaken up over the result, at elections
which followed, yet the same old story
OF secret societies in politics told the
death OF usefulness in the organiza-
ton.
No class can ever succeed in politics.
A political party can only stand upon
a foundation broad enough TO take in
all men Of whatever profession, trade
or ayOcatiOn, who believe in or prac-
tice pure principles advocating the
greatest good to the greatest number,
The set of men who believe that
"tbey are the people" while as a mat
ter OF fact, they are but small per
cent. of the population of the country,
do so, mainly because of their igno-
rance. Their isolation leads them to
think that a hundred and fifty men,
women and children, in a procession in
town Of twenty thousand people, are
Of so much importance that the places
of business should be decorated wher
they come TO town.
Without making any unfair com
PARSONS, it must be admitted that
any proposition made by the farmers
and some Of their demagogue leaders
has failed to redress any of the real O
imaginary wrongs of which they com
plain, while the Republican part
has, in instances which are number
less, made and enforced law
that have been the means of doinI
more for the farmer than he will eve
do for himself.
Every man elected to congress de
sires TO do all he can for his cOuntr.
constituency, that he may be popula
with that class. Post roads through
thinly populated districts, improve
ment of streams, surveying of lands 3
open to settlement, the creation o
Interstate commerce commissions
bounties on the production Of sugar
etc, etc, are among the few thing
which are being done from time {
time for this class. and still the dema
gogue finds some opportunity to how
about something which he canno
? remedy.

Wheat is going up In price, and that
too in the face of the greatest yield
and the greatest increase of per acre
age the country has ever seen. The
market for wheat in store touched
1920 in Chicago yesterday, and it is
likely to go higher. The only fear is
that it will prove an embd1ross dtt
richesse, and that land and water trans
ports and terminal elevators will be
rammed, crammed and damned be-
yond their utmost capacity, and sc
force down the price because of mad
equate means of delivery.

THIRD PARTY MONEY

Men, TO be good citizens, must dis
play s,me public spirit. IL is not
enough to simply pay taxes, condemn
the lavish expenditures of municipal,
state, and federal governments, and
pose as a patriot. The householder,
as in Jerusalem, must not only keep
his own dooryard clean, but extend his
care TO the middle of the street, and
across to the other side, If necessary.
More than that, the good citizen will,
now and then, see TO il that the subur-
ban districts where there are no
houses, are not suffered TO become
eyesores and detriments TO the city.

nance the general prosperity, take
some considerable chances on an en-
terprise, in the mercantile or manu-
There is quite a difference between
letting capital rest in mortgages at 10
per cent, or on notes OF hand at TWEEN
ty, and the building up of commercial
interests by the establishment of fac
tories, employment of skilled labor,
and the consequent creation of a local
market for buying and selling. And,
no matter how respected, no matter
how venerated, or how greatly toadied
he may be, the capitalist who simply
contents himself with an interest in

citizen.
Probably the richest city, Of its size,
in the world is Hartford, Connecticut,
where almost every other man owes
his living to investment in insurance
stocks, bonds and that sort of thing.
1t is a pretty city. The inhabitants
are SNUG, well-dressed and pleasant in
expression. But no one would ever
accuse Hartford of enterprise. 1t is
content to sit under the spreading
fronds of sort Of gambling game and
watch the charming shadow grow
cooler and wider. The natural conse-
quence is that it has become a national
financial cancer; constantly absorbing
the cash OF the country, and contrib
uting nothing 20 the general advance

would almost seem, in view Of the in
terdependence of humanity, that the
view of the possession OF great wealth
as rather a trusteeship than an owner
ship, is the correct one. But wealth
is timorous. Money is as sensitive to
popular agitatiOns as the aneroid TO
atmospheric change; and when a
movement represslve Of possession
becomes formidable, the capitalist
classes become conservative.
That is the case now. Between the
chcmerical national financial schemes

mate successor OF the utterly wild
Greenback craze, and the attacks of

Judge Edgar Lindsay, of this city, Is
not only entitled to rank as one of the
old timers of Fairhaven, but he has also
an undoubted right TO claim front rank as
one of the IA hers of the coast. Judge
Lindsay is native of Indiana, and came
to the Pacific coast in 1913. California
was the great Eldorado at that time, and
the Judge, though only youth, was one
of the argonauts, whose fame and story
are yet being freqentIy told. In 1888 he
came to Bellingham bay, convinced
that here was to be the great city of
the Pacific coast. ''San Francisco"
said Judge Lindsay, yesterday, was
an accident, and yet there has been built
up there a great city. 81 remember when
Portland was only collection of huts,
and fleet of Indian canoes the only ship
ping which it knew. And look at it today,
it is substantial city. But the natural
advantages of either San Francisco or
Portland are not to be compared to those
we have here. This is no idle talk, for
an Investigation of the statement will
prove the truth of what / say. This is
bound to be, in the very nature of things,
railroad centre, and the Canadian Pa
cidc railroad will be big factor in the
development of this part of the state OF
Washington. In order to hold their own the
other transcontinental lines must react

evidence that they are alive to this fact
There can be little question among thos'
who have studied the situation that tn,

to the opinion, based on observation anC
practical facts, that it will be built RICH

Judge, the great New York humor-
Gus weekly, publishes a cartoon this
week that ought to go into the i'm
mortal gallery of political satire
Campbell OF Ohio, sinking in Demo
cratic Silver Lake, implores Grover to
go To his rescue, but the ex-president
turns his back with the avowal that
he can't swim in that water. The
truth OF the matter is that the Ohio
Democracy chucked tub to a whale
when IT incorporated silver plank in
its platform to please the Alliance
people, and the potential Democrats
have either abandoned Campbell or
are decidedly lukewarm in their sup
port. The silver question is not a
party" question, except it be a third
party one. 1t is sectional to a great
extent, and, still more, one Of expedi-
ency; but the sapheads OF Ohio failing
to comprehend the situation have
made the defeat of their candidate
more certain and overwhelming than
It otherwise would have been.

The success which attended the sad
Barrundia affair has so prinked up the
assumptions OF the miserable, atteh-
uated Central American republics
that they seem very much inclined to
twcak Uncle Sans nose, and pluck
the tail feathers from the American
eagle itself. San Salvador, whose
authorities attempted to enforce the
seizure Of the Pacific Mail steamship
City of Panama, at La Llbertad, has
fermeuted herself to the point OF
abandoning her preposterous claim
under the rights OF nations, and
putting IL on the ground of the
might Of mighty little one. In the
absence of Secretary Blaine, the state
department is temporizing with the
affair in an exasperating manner. If
the secretary, himself were on deck,
1t is altogether likely that San Saliva
dor would receive diplomatic com
munication that would end the discus
sion at once. Something in the line
of shut up, or be spanked" might
be suggested.

TIE DUTY OF THE HOUR

1t is the duty Of everyone to encour-
age all that is possible during the
stringent times through which the
country is passing, not only in the
matter of public expenditures, but in
personal expenses. 1t is possible,
however, to make grieyous mistakes
on the wrong side Of the ledger, in
what we may consider economy. 1t is
no economy to horde up money which
may be safely invested where a certain
profit may be realized in the future.
1t is always proper to buy when others
want to sell, especially when
the seller must have money. If
you buy safe property-solid real
estate - you can rest assured
that time will come when you can
unload at profit. 1t is no economy
to stop all public improvements dur.
ing a close season for money. This is
| like bleeding man to save his life
| turning the water off the mill vince
when the grist is waiting; or making
a run on bank and expecting it to d.
business with no deposits. The objec
in bonding is to put in circulation
money from abroad, which will thu
swell the circulating medium, making
better times and accomplishing
double object-namely, making neede'
improvements and at the same tim
keeping the labOrer employed.

Prof. Jennings returned yesterday from
a trip to Lake Whatcom, and he will
leave this morning for the Fairhaven
coal mine Prof. Jennings is one of the
earliest pioneers of Fairhaven, having
come to this point three years ago with j.
J. Donovan. of the great value of the
Fairhaven coal mine he mas no doubt,
and he states that an output Of from -four
to five hundred tons Of coke per day could
be had from this mine with proper coking
facilities. The coal possesses the best
coking qualities, superior to the Wilke-
son coke, and recent assays show 1t to be
equal to the celebrated Connellsville. Coke
ovens will be placed in position as fast as
transporta ton facilities are had and the
demand requires. Speaking of the Blue
Canyon coal, Professor Jennings gave 1t
as his opinion that it was a first-clasS
article and an excellent mine. There
are few people" said he, who have any
idea of the vast extent of the mineral de-
posts of this section of the state, and
they are just now beginning to receive
slight attention. The immediate future
will establish the richness and value OF
our mineral products"
