Calamity Crackers

Bloomington Eye: To sheo with a po-
litical party that cannot thrive except on
the misfortunes of the people. Accord
ing to the Democratic organs, orators and
Oracles, famine and calamity dire stalk
throughout all the highways and cross
roads of this country and the farmers,
mechanics and stOrekeeperS are being
Ogled out of countenance by grim and
CHASTITY starvation. And yet there never
was so much prosperity among the people
OF city and country as now, when the ca
lamity crOakerS are raSping our ears with
their evil predictions of universal ruin.
Abundance is stacked up all over the
prairies of Illinois, workingmen are build
ing homes, merchants are discOunting
their bills, handsome churches are being
erected, schools and colleges are increas-
ing, tramps are getting three meals a day
even country editors are declining pump
kins and beeswaX on subscription and
are affecting plug hats and bank ac-
counts. If this be the sort of hard times
that Democracy proposes to cure, the
sooner It gets back into its tomb the bet
ter for the country.

SHIPBUTLDING

The waters Of Puget sound are pc
culiarly adapted for shipbuilding. and
this is one of the industries that
should be encouraged and fostered.
Ships have been built on the Sound
that in two trips have paid for them
selves. What larger returns for capt.
tai invested could be desired by any
one than these facts show?
There is too much OF American pro-
duct being carried in English ships,
and there is no reason for this what
ever. Ships can be constructed here
on Puget sound better and cheaper
than in any otherplace in the world.
We Americansare not giving enough
attention to shipbuilding and to com
merce on the high seas. The govern
ment, to a great extent, is responsible
for this.
Puget sound should have ten ships
flying the American flag where it has
one today. The Yankee ships should
be found in all foreign ports as well as
the English flag There is no reason
why an American ship cannot com
pete with one OF English build.
There is nothing to prevent our hav-
ing line Of steamers established from
the Sound to Asia. as well as the
British possessions to the north. BY
all means let shipbuilding be encour-
aged here, and this industry should
begin at once so that in a few years II
may be known all over the world that
Puget sound vessels are the fastest
and best. and other governments win
send here for their construction.

but the favor which they enjoyed
among the people, and the spirit of
the times, induced the clergy to en-
courage theatrical exhibitions founded
on scriptural subjects.
Early in the sixteenth century the
first regular modern drama appeared
in Italy; this was followed by the
dramatic writings Of Ariosto. Then
came Maffei, the reformer Of the Ital-
ian stage. The more eminent of Ital-
ian dramatists have been Alferi,
Monti, Mauzoui and Niceolini. And
those who have shed lustre on
the drama in Spain are CaldesOn, and
Lope de Vega; in Germany, Goethe,
Schiller and leasing; in England,
Shakespeare, Ben Jonson, Marlowe,
Beaumont and Fletcher Shirley,
Dryden, Congreye, Wycherley, Sheri-
dan. Goldsmith, Knowles, Henry Tay-
lor, Bulwer Lytton, Tom Taylor and
Reade; in France, Cornyille, MOliere,
Racine, Voltaire, Beaumarchais, CAST

Victor Hugo, Alfred de Nigny, Pou-
said, Emile Angler, Scribe and Sardou.
There are some very good and
Jealous people in this world, who
imagine the drama is the first great
step to perdition, and that all persons
are lost hearafter if they ever visit
the theatre.
There are good moral plays and
actors on the stage, and there are bad
ones. The drama is but part of the
world, and the mimic stage but re

WHAT FALRHAVEN Is DOING


The amount of work that is going
on in Fairhaven would boom any
other place with an immense boom.
Fairhaven, however, is accustomed to
it and its people 60 along about their
business entirely unconcerned. For
instance, the excavations for the
opera house foundations are under
way: work on Mr.. Waldron's brick and
stone building 5OxlOO feet, corner Of
Twelfth and Mckenzie avenue, is
progressing rapidly; the construction
Of the foundations for the Great
Northern freightand passenger depOts
begun yesterday. There are large
numbers Of men grading and paving
streets in four different parts Of the
city; the masonry on the McDOugal *
DOdSon and Gates 4 Frazier brick
buildings on Eleventh street, is rapid
ly approaching the top Of the third
story The new wharf at the foot of
Gambler street is progressing salts
factorily, and in hundreds of places
lesser frame and brick buildings are
being rapidly erected. The city is
growing wonderfully and the first
thing the croakers will know, they will
be in the largest city in the state, as it
is already the most prosperous, and
then they will still be croaking.
The fact is that during last year the
city Of Fairhaven grew so fast from
nothing that its growth was plainly
apparent. 1t is growing today in the
same proportion, but the place is now
so large that the march Of improve
ment is not so plain to the casual
sight, and because real estate is being
sold more for building purposes and
less for speculative purposes there are
those who cannot see that anything is
being done in Fairhaven. Ours is yet
the Focal City and will continue to be
for many decades. The business Of
the world is pointing this way: people
are coming hitler from all directions,
and the HERALD repeats that the end
Of the year will see 10000 people here.
Last spring when the HERALD said
there would be five thousand or more
population in Fairhayen by Christmas
the same people who secuted that as
sertion will scout this one, and yet
there were nearer 5000 here by Christ
mas than 5000. Fairhaven is fairly
i'm the swim.

As TO SHOWS

Fairhayen has rapidly grown to be
what is known among amusement
caterers as a good show town" ANY
respectable dramatic company or
other reasonably fair attraction of
that character that comes here does
well, despite the fact that the city
has, like every other city in the land.
felt the financial stress that has pre-
vailed throughout the country during
the past three months or more, but
which is happily relaxing now.
1t is not discreditable to any city to
be "a good show town" On the CON
trary, quite the reverse. 1t is an evil
dence that the people are hard at
work, strange as that may seem, for
busy people are those who most need
relaxation, and dramatic and operate
entertainments are relaxing "An
work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy" is the old proverb, and among
people who are disposed to be genial
and sociable frequent attendance upon
theatrical performances is noticeable
With them "the play is the thing.
The excellent patronage that such.
and kindred amusements, receive in
Fairhaven is also an evidence of the
liberality Of the people. The present
patronage Of the theatre also exhibits
the fact that when the splendid opera
house that Mr.. Cowgirl has begun
is completed and open for use
IT will be success from the start. 1t
will attract audiences composed of
people from both the cities of Belling-
ham Bay, and, indeed, from all the
towns from Sedro to Blaine, and by
the time the opera house is completed
next fall, Fairhaven alone will be so
populous that it will no longer be a
zone night stand, but will easily and
amply patronize theatrical entertain
ments almost every weekday night.
Fairhaven is discriminating, how
ever, in its patronage Of opera and
drama, and notice has already been
served, by the city's action in those
things, that the entertainments that
shall succeed will be only tke best.
The cultivation of dramatic art will
help any community, whether it be by
patronizing visiting companies or 10y
encouraging home talent in the mat
ter, and in this connection the

amateur dramatic company should be
organized here.

are observed among all nations, and

the upward scale Of civilization have
shown some taste for IL.
