The Civil War.

We are getting nov at such distance
from our Civil war as to realize its ben-
efits to the people and the nation. With
out that war there never could have been
a true union of sections.
The "stern arbitrament of war" is just
as likely to settle matters wrongly as
rightly and vet it is absolute. That the
North defeated the South, does not prove
that the South was wrong in its theory OF
the rights of the States, but from that
decision there can be no appeal.
the experience OF the nation during
the years since the war bears out the
theory of the North. that division would
have been harmful, if not fatal, to both
contestants.
War determined that there should be
no division and time has proven this
decision to be wise: right has been es'
tablshed by might.
The loyalty of the South to-day is not
questioned by calmer, unpreJudled
minds. Those men made gallant fight
a glorious contest for principle and they
were beaten and are glad that they were,
for they now realize that in union lies
our strength and that dissolution would
have brought disaster.-Tacoma News.

unconstitutional, and all that is needed
to destroy it is to discuss it and expose
its absurdity. Senator Hampton still
clings to Cleveland, and thinks he will
be the democratic standard bearer in '92.
The secretary of the treasury and the
United States treasurer receive many
mysterious contributions sent In by I'M
known persons, whose conscience accuses
them of having swindled the government
in one way or another While many
people seem to regard the government as
they do corporation, which having
neither IL sou! to be saved or body to
be kicked, may be cheated to any extent
justiiably; but now and then an in
dividual turns up who gets worried about
his cheating operations. Such penitents
usually send the amount they think tl.ey
owe the government to the secretary or
treasurer Contributions OF this sort
come in every few days. Some of them
are as low as a twocent postage stamp,
while others are as high as several thous-
and dollars. Not long since eight halves
Of as many 81 600 notes came to the Sec
rotary OF the treasury, accompanied by
the notification that the remaining halves
would follow, if acknowledgement was
made OF the receipt OF the first consign-
ment. Some of the Conscience Fund
communications are very amusing. Re-
Gently man wrote from Erie, Pennsyl-
vania, saying Enclosed find $40, which
l return to the government, having
beaten her out OF that amount IN minor
WAYS, from time to time" Another con-
science stricken wretch sent 5000, say
ing: "This is on account of amount
defrauded the government of, and which
l have paid back; thank Cod" An old
soldier, who is regarded as regular GUS
toner by the secretary and treasurer,
sends IS from time to time, on account
of 500, which he writes: II obtained
by unfairness NEARLY twenty years ago,
as well as1 can remember, and which
hope to liquidate. l give my God the
benefit of the doubt, relying on His
boundless mercy" Another fellow,
whose conscience is in proportion to his
means, lately sent the U. s. treasurer
"a 1896, accompanied simply by a scrap
of paper with Conscience" scrawled up
on it. A woman in France sent $40
pinned to note with the words, "C'est
pour lie tresorie" or it. This, no doubt,
came from repentant woman smuggler.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Irregular Correspopdence.)

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2, 1891.
Secretary Blaine is still very sick
man. Nobody in Washington expects to
see him again before next fall; and so
the administration and the country will
have to get along without the able secre-
tary of state, pending the settlement Of
several important diplomatic matters.
1t will require most careful nursing to
bring Mr.. Blaine back to his post of
duty, and many of his intimate friends,
who fear he is entirely broken down
physically, never expect to see.him Wig
orously at work here again.
The Bering sea seal fishing question
seems to be rapidly approaching solution
on the basis of a closed season, and the
stoppage OF zeal killing before the sum-
mer is past.
Ex-senator Wade Hampton, of South
Carolina, was in Washington today, on
his way to Canada to fish for salmon.
He is not at all disturbed about the third
party farmers alliance movement in
south Carolina, and the South, and
thinks it wont amount to much in that
section of the country. A party founded
on one idea, and that false one, he
saws, can't survive long. Its sub-treas-
ury plan is unwise, impracticable and

A Chance for Portland.


j. &. Mailing, ex-mayor of Aberdeen
WASH, is at the Hotel Portland. He
said:
"When l was here year ago l made
known that the people Of Grays harbor
wanted to trade with Portland, but the
metropolis does not seem to b improving
the opportunity. | see now that the
steamer Alliance is to he withdrawn from
the Portland Grays harbor route, as there
is no business to justify the trips. That
does our country an injustice. The facr
of the matter is that last winter the AL
lance was 80 irregular in her trips that
we could not depend on her for freight,
and San Francisco and the Puget sound
cities have captured the trade which
rightfully belongs to Portland. A steam
er OF ample capacity and good passenger
accommodations would capture any
amount Of business for Portland.-Or-
egonian.

Quakers drab. Our wheels do not leave
so unnaturally slight track here, and it
is with lessened speed that we turn into
the woodland road. Alders grow here
with the sunlight dappling thei, sides and
turning their pale green leaves into spots
OF translucent green, and beneath, the
land sinks into bowl-like holows, lined
with long-leaved moss, like tiny matted
ferns. The ferns themselves sand half
as high as man, but are delicate and Of
u tender texture from the shaded damn
ness. The road is very narrow and we
brush the trees as we 90 through the sun
shot tunnel OF green; close about the road
press the red-ti!'ped bushes of wild
huckleberry. The character of the woods
changes gradually, and beneath scrub
evergreens grass spreads luxuriant and
all its shadows deepen into purple violets.
AS the trees grow less thicklv, the close
grass rolls as we'll kept lawn. and it is
hard to believe that it has not been sown,
neither shall it be reaped. We suddenly
hear the click of croquet maliet against
a ball, and see ahead a group of people
playing on the level natural lawn beside
little hotel. The site coulG scarcely be
pleasanter. Beyond lies the blue of
shoalwater bay, and still beyond the blue
OF far off hills, on every side the gently
rolling grass Swallowed by clumps OF
sturdy evergreen; the lawn slopes into
level depressions. ready-sodded, ready
rolled tennis ground. Across little park
are the dining room and kitchen, with
whose spotless neatness and savory cook
ing we soon are pleasantly acquainted.
There is an air about the place that re-
calls some comfortable, old country
house, where every one is free to follow
his own within and dream away the lazy,
restful interlude between the more serious
business acts OF life.

There is great cry about the revival
of voodooism among the southern me-
groes. This is most unfortunate but it can
be easily excused when we compare it
with the popularity of theosophy and
any number of other superstitious fads
among people who are sufficiently edu-
Gated to know batter. 1t is always the
sincerity of the ignorat that is condemn
ed, while the affectation of the
learned is regarded as proof of culture.

Of the ants advanced and took up the
dead body Of one Of their comrades, then
two others. and so on. till all were ready
to march.
First walked two ants carrying a
body, then two without a burden, then
two others with another dead ant, and so

body of about 200 ants.-School and
