The Place to smuggle chinese


Julian Ralph in Harper's Magazine.
Looking on the map one may see
that the northwest corner of the state
of Washington is torn off and the
space that Is left is filled with water,
dotted from an archipelago. The
Island of Vancouver fits partially
into the gaping corner as if it had
been torn out by some gigantic
conyulsion. The tatters ana debris
of the rent form the archipelago. Our
national interest conferred in that COR
ner long ago when that portion of the
boundary was in dispute, and the
tension of war feeling was only re-.
lieved when foreign arbitrator set
tied the boundary and gave us the
island of San Juan, the most import
ant in the group.
The City of Victoria confines nearly
all the population on that corner of
Vancouver Island; the City Of Van
couver is the main settlement on the
British Columbia shore, and on our
borders are such little places as
Whatcom, New Dungeness and Port
Angeles, in the state of Washington.
Port Townsend, on Puget Sound, is
the principal American town near by,
and the headquarters of the scanty
force of customs officials who are sup
posed to guard against the SNUG
Cling, and who are entitled
to the presumption that they are
doing their best in this direction.
Victoria has only 10000 population,
Vancouver fewer still, and the islands
only here and there q house. Deer
abound on these islands, which are
heavily timbered, and the waterways
between them feel the keels of but
few vessels-of none at all, except the
smallest craft, outside the main chan.
nels. 1t would be hard to imagine q
more difficult region to police, or q
fairer field tor smugglers. Old
London itself has scarcely q greater
tangle of crooked and. confusing
thorougfares than this archipelago
possesses, and these waterways are
SO narrow and sheltered that mere
oarsmen can safely and easily travel
many of them. 1t is a smuggler's
paradise.

RED, WHITE AND BLACK

The dismissal of the unarmed artist
after his capture by the Indians. and the
shooting of squaws by troops. put the
savage warriors in position where the
contrast between them and their adver-
saries is hardly to the advantage of the
latter.
Remington. the artist. has acquired
quite a reputation with the public
through his interesting publications and
spirited illustrations and has done what
he could TO represent the grievances of
the unfortunate red men.
Whether these facts were known TO
the Indians or not does not appear in
the account. but when we recOllect that
all which they took from the artist was
his sketch book and tobacco, they DO not
seem 10 be such veritable red devils as
they have been made ont to be.
As the Ninth cavalry, by whose cour-
age the Seventh regiment was lately res
cued, Is composed of negroes. Differed
by whites, II does not look asif the civil

has risen. might not be lowered through
the contemplation Of. and reflection
upon. the pluck and determination Of the
black and the magnamimity OF the red
men.

as TO DEBT PAYING.

Emporia Republican: I'm the past
twenty years. as shown by the census,
every class of public Indebtedness in this
country has decreased. The national
debt has gone from S61.SS to S15S1 per
capita. The state debts have decreased
from 50. u to 81. 43 per capita, county in
debtedness from $40 to $l.S4, and
municipal Indebtedness from $lO.52 TO
1892 per capita. The total per capita
indebtedness, according to the census
bulletins. has decreased from $3.50 in
1870 to $J6.2 in 1880 and to S28 in 1890.
This is certainly most creditable show
ing and one that speaks volumes for the
economy and thrift of American people.
All of which is true enough, but sup
pose the volume of the circulating
medium had not been contracted the
while fully 66 per cent. how much
greater would have been the reduction
of the debt of the country and of the peo-
pie: And how greater would be their
present ability to pay if the currency in
active circulation were increased by 30
per cent. Is the needs and requirement
Of the country demand: A debt is in
creased or decreased according to the
debtors ability to pay.

The Lawrence Journal observes that
the interest of the country is transferred
from the Bad Lands of Dakota to the
Bad Town of Topeka. This is deliber-
ate aspersion upon the exemplary(0 town
last named, and also upon the solons
there assembled. 1t is saying in sub
stance that, while the wild Indians are
coming in and giving up the war path,
the wild legislators are assembled and
ready to go n the war path. Beyond
the taking of few scalps our estimate
of the assemblage of warriors at the cap
itol is that they will prove a pleasant sur
prise by not displaying any very sanSuin-
