THEIR BUSINESS rs BAB

While the American hotel, both OF
the summer and the all-the-year-
round persuasion, is prospecting right
along, with no complaints from land
lords and none certainly reported from
guests, the European, and especially
the continental hotel, is In a dOiorOus
stage Of existence, barely able 10 make
a living and keep up respectable ap-
pearanccs.
The cause Of this visible decay OF
prosperity Is ascribed TO the financial
collapse Of the Earrings last fall, an
event that has not ceased to make
itself felt to this day in quarters little
expected. The statement Is that the
whole social and financial system of
Europe is still benumbed by the wreck
Of that long famous house. Few lines
OF business are exempt from its objects
all over the continent today.
They say in Germany that they
could not keep their hotels open If 1t
were not for the tide Of American
patronage. Not less than a hundred
thousand Americans are scattered
about Germany and other countries,
and they are said 10 spend more
money than they were ever known to
spend before. The calculation is that
visiting Americans leave behind them
In Europe not less than hundred
million dollars every year.
The continental watering places are
described as desolate That certainly
cannot be said Of our own. 1t is true
the season has not been specially pro-
pitious for summer business, when
the cream Of profit has TO be skinned
If at all, yet the average of patronage
is well up TO its accustomed standard,
and money is distributed with fairly
free hand.
At least there Is no cause for such a
wall as goes up from the watering
places Of continental Europe. The
United States manages to get along
very comfortably, and when Europe
comes across TO visit our Worlds Fair
IL will be able TO see how we get on.

HERBERT SPENCER'S VIEWS

Herbert Spencer mournfully gives
expression TO his conviction that posi-
tive proof does not change mems
views. From this conclusion he rea-
sons that most men are not rational
beings.
IL Is probably true that most of us
are governed as much by prejudice and
sentiment as we are 10y reason. But
then the human mind, In this age of
the world, Is by no means so imperyi-
Gus to new ideas as It has been TO all
previous ages.
The philosophy Of Herbert Spencer
has undoubtedly not been accepted as
readily AS he deems its intrinsic truth
fulness demands. But then, IL Mr..
Spencer had lived a few centuries
earlier he would not have been per
mittcd to formulate his philosophy
at all.
DR.. Holmes tells OF poets who have
died with all their music In them"
II Mr.. Spencer had lived In the six.
tcenth, instead Of the nineteenth cen
tury, he would probably have been
burned at the stake, and most OF his
differentiated philosophy with him.
Positive proof may not always imme-
diateiy produce positive conviction,
even In this age OF the world. But
every man Is freely permitted TO pro-
duce his positive proof, and positive
proof, II you give IL time enough, al
ways produces positive conviction.
Herbert Spencer and all other phi.
losophers and reformcrs may rest as
sured that the errors, II any, that they
have promulgated will be shaken and
slfted by time, and that the truths
they have advanced will be finally and
accepted.

control Of national affairs In 1851 down
20 the present day. II has had tenn
porary reVerses, but nothing very
serious has happened 10 IL.
1t survived the election OF Cleve-
land In 1884; aud the change
Of IA Republican majority OF twenty
three In the Fifty-frst congress TO a
Democratic majority OF l49 in the
fifty-secOnd, will not affect IL seriously.
This years harvest, the enhancement
Of the general welfare, and the recov-
cry OF the people from temporary de-
preston, will put the party back, Ia
1892, where IL belongs, and where IL
will be enabled TO continue Its good
work for our common country.
Agricultural prosperity is the key
note OF American progress, Not so
In England where the people must
look 10 manufactures and the main
tenancc Of commerce for bread. In
this country we ought TO produce
everything necessary 10 our comfort
and convenience, and therefore our
manufactures are protected against
the rivalry OF purely manufacturing
nations. This is wise principle; for,
while we can get along without their
wares, they cannot get along without
our wheat. So In protecting home in
dustries, we benefit all classes; and
the farmer with his fruitful field, no
Tess than the miii-owner and the work
ihgman, Is indebted 10 the Republican
party for large measure of his wealth
and cpntentment.
If then, with good crops, our sturdy
farmers will combine good sense, good
politics, aud Republican party SUI
prcmacy, the country will be all right,
now and I'm the coming years.

POLITICS IN PROSPERITY

We would not be afraid TO wager the
Federal postofllcc against the Port
G rdner boom, that, within three
months, some Farmers Alliance and
Third Party dcmagogues will be ascrib-
Ing this years gratifying and wide
spread prosperity Of the agricultural
classes 30 the formation and shrewd
action Of those two new growths in
American politics. That kind Of
statesmen always seek TO usurp the
functions and powers Of benelicient
Providence. and keep alive the cry:
Elect Us and see what good times we
will have" And with charming con-
sistency they lay whatever Of strin-
gency or hard times there may be at
the doors Of their political opponents.
or course, wise men never do this;
clever men seldom do; cranks and
rogues always do.
Sensible farmers, however, will not
make the mistake Of surprising that
Alliance tactics in Kansas, any more
than the Democratic victory, last No
vember, sent wheat up to Sl.2O, and
placed in their hands enough OF the
cereal to very materially improve their
financial condition; though IL Is GER
tain that the indifferent crops of two
years ago, and the manipulation of
grain and money by gambling boards
Of brokers had much 20 do with the
defeat Of j j. ingalls, and the precipita-
tion Of a two.thirds Democratic ma
lority into the lower house OF congress.
at Is poor rule that doesn't work
both ways" says the old adage, and
the chances are that the harvests OF
this fall will tend 90 strengthen the
Republican party 10 an amazing ex-
tent, and relcgatc cranks and falla-
cies to, al least, two more years OBJ
scurity.
II must not be forgotten, just here,
that the Republican party, in protect
ing the farmers Of the land by sensible
legislation, has greatly promoted
their prosperity. Right on the heels
Of new protective tariff which raised
the duty on imported barley from Zoe
10 3Oc a bushel, and thus shut out Our
nearest and most prolific rival, Cana
da, the barley-ields OF the United
States gave the greatest yield on re-
cord, and made possible vastly larger
price to the raiser than could other
wise have been hoped for. And the |
money comes out Of the beer-keg. |
The tariff on butter was made &c in |
stead OF DC pound, the two cents a |
pound being clearly In favor Of every /
farmer who makes butter 10 sell. Eggs, |
which were formerly free, are now
practically barred from importation
by levy OF SC a dozen, with the result
that we read of the sale of immense
quantities OF Canadian eggs In the
London market, where they arc. pre-
ferred TO the Irish variety. Apples
were taken from the free list and as
sesscd 25c a bushel Hogs that could
have been imported for 20 pcr cent.
ad valorem, now pay $50 per head
Dranght animals, worth less than$ $50,
come In for $50 apiece; those worth

So the list might be extended
The Republican party has thus been
directly the ally Of nature In building
lp the farmers interests. The wild ,

hat "thc Republican party has been

HOME FOLKS AND VISITORS

i. ShaHer, a prominent artist OF San
Francisco, and friend Of T.. J. Iennelly,
Of this city, has been In town for a few
days. Mr.. Shaircr is so well pleased with
fairhaven that ne will locate here, and
establish an art school. Accompanied by
his friend, Mr.. Troy, also Of San Fran
cisco, he left yesterday morning on a
sketching trip In British Columbia. After
taking in all places Of interest In the
neighbOring province. he will return TO
his home la California, close up his bust
ness and settle In the Focal City. There
ought to be good field for an art school
here, and 1t Is safe TO say that Mr.. ShalTer
will receive ample encouragement in his
endeayors to establish an institution of
The kind proposed.
j. w. Dorr, editor Of the Blaine Jour
nal was In town for few hours yester-
day. Mr.. Dorr says that the cannery at
SemiahmOo has done an excellent bust
ness so far this season. The sockeye run
Is over and about twenty days will inter
vene before the next run-that Of the sill
proprietor Of the cannery, will erect a
sardine cannrry next year. and he will
put In cold storage and engage In the
shipment of fresh fish t. the East. "rhe
fishery business of Puget sound" said
Mr. D0rr, as one that Is destined to as
sumo great proportions, and the wonder
Is that 1t has never been extensively pros
ecuted heretofore. There Is no question
about It being profitable"

tied Fairhaven for the first time yestcr-
day, and Bellingham bay he had not seen

eastern part of Whatcom county, and
here twelve years ago Mr.. McCaHlay took
up ranch at the junction of Ruby Creek
with the Skagt. Placer gold was dis
covered here some years ago. and Mr..
McCautay has a claim which he works
during the season, and which
yields him about sl2 per day. Consider
able interest is being shown in the placer
mines of Ruby creek, and recently Ana
cortes parties bought bench claim. for
which they paid 5000. Mt. McCautay is

Erosion That Levels Mountains.

Owing to the interbedding of hard and
enduring sandstone, quartZite, gneiss and
other rock formations, with more easily
eroded limestone, shales, incoherent sand
stones, or schists, erosion commonly pro-
duces new topography, making hollows
and long valleys where the more erosible
beds have been removed, and leaving ridges
and mountain ranges of the harder rocks.
More than this, when erosion has been
continued through very long periods, it
tends toward the ultimate result of remov-
ing the upward curved or anticlinal por-
tions of the great folds and sparing the
originally lower downward curved or syn
clinal portions, until valleys take the places
which were originally occupied by the
highest upheavals, while the original
troughs, where the rocks were most COM
pacted by pressure, remain now as the
principal mountain ridges. Under denuda-
ton, the folded mountainous belt fulflls
the prophecy, Every valley shall be ex-
allied and every mountain and hill shall
be made low. Warren Upham in Popu-
lar Science Monthly.

Flies for Fishing.

Artificial flies may fairly be considered
to illustrate the highest development of the
art piscatorial The limitations produced
in this shape of winged insects, grasshop-
pers and the Larvae of various bugs are re-
ally wonderful. In their manufacture ma
terials are drawn from every part Of the
world. Furs as well as feathers are util-
lied in making them. Deer, bears, mon
keys, seals, rabbits, sheep, pigs, squirrels,
dogs and even rats contribute. Agents are
sent out from Paris to all parts of the earth
to gather for this purpose the skins of rare
and CANDY winged creatures. These plumes
and furs represent chiefly the waste stock
of the milliners and taxidermists, nearly
all of them being brought from France.
The gut smells to which the fly hooks are
attached are made from immature silk
worms drawn out to the requisite lengths.

A DAMASCUS BLADE.

This crescent shaped and flexible blade,
With time duIled. tawny gold inlaid,
Meath skies that knew the eastern star
Was found within an old bazaar.
mind me well, how, passing by,
We caught the merchants cleaning eye,
Where in his dim recess he sat
Upon his precious Persian mat.
Urbane he was and grave of mien,
This patriarchai Damascene;
He lurea Us to his small diyan;
A serving boy for coffee ran,
And, while we slipped, he laid before
Our widening eyes his wondrous store.
There from worn sheaths, once bright with
gilt,
We saw protrude the jeweled hilt;
There ivory from Bengal brought
With Saracenic art was wrought;
And there keen steel was looked upon
That like moon FURNISHED water shoue.
But most of all on me laid hold
This blade, with letters strangely scrolled -
Some curious Koran text, no doubt,
Bidding the warriors heart be stout
And, when we took our way afar,
/ bore It from the old bazaar.
He had deadly supple wrist
Who welded it Of yore, wist,
And oft, mayhap, in goodly stead,
He flashed it DER his turbaned head
When some Crusader, huge and grim,
In the thick press confronted him.
Perchance his Jealous soul now roves
In peaceful paradisial groves;
His blade-I wonder does he know2
Is nothing but a curiol
Ali what fate its fate has been

Ntakinc GLASS BOTTLES by machinery.

The manufacture of glass bottles by ma
chinery, undertaken awhile ago by New
Jersey manufacturer, has not only proved
a success, but appears to possess some de-
cided advantages over the ordinary meth
cd, even with the appliances and processes
as thus far developed. Gathering the glass
in the usual manner, it is allowed to run
from the rod into an iron cup, which holds
the quantity needed for making the bottle,
when hollow iron plunger at the bottom
of the cup is pushed up through the mass
and the cup reversed, leaving the glass in
plastic condition suspended from the hol-
low plunger through which air is admit
ted; the cup, which is hinged, is now re-
moved, and the movement of a lever adj
mits a small quantity of air; the bulb is
then flattened at the bottom and dropped
into the mold, which latter is at once
closed and the air applied, this operation
completing the bottle, and it is taken while
hot to the annealing oven.
BY the ordinary process of manufacture
the ring at the top of the bottle neck was
formed by second operation, but this is
done away with by the machine method.
