Bircsview Bell: sThe Mt Vernon Ners thinks
II would be an excellent scheme to divide
skagit county, the dividing line to be between
Hamilton and Birdsview. Well. of course, If
the county is too large, and if the people are
tumbling over each other in their clamor for
division, the wish of the majority should be
respected and the county divided. But what's
the matter with doing the divide act down on
the other end OF the county, with the dividing
line between Sedro and Mt. Vernon? The terri
tory lying between this line and the present
west line OF Skagit county would no doubt be
named Harrison county and its seat of govern
ment located at Anacortes."

"Mr. Blaine" said one of his friends recently,
'gsts as much pleasure out of his visits to Bar
Harbor as man could well get out of anything
in life. he simply loves the place. His eye
seems to brighten and his step quicken at the
thought of his beautiful home there. He leads
a most simple life there, one that could not fail
to benefit any hard-working man, and few men
can work harder than Mr.. Blaine. While on

VIEWS ON INFRINGEMENT.

The interviews with Major Rinehart
and Mr.. g. III. Heilbron, the Republican
members of the board of public works,
contain several points deserving of more
than passing attention by the taxpayers.
The views expressed indicate that the
process of retrenchment IN general ex-
penses is receiving earnest consideration,
and that much of the heavy expenses now
complained of was primarily incurred by
the old council. Work was ordered and
contracts entered into last year for which
the liability must now be borne
There is a considerable reduction in the
current expenses. far greater in proportion
than the amount added by the increased
salary roll. and even that, according to the
action of the board of aldermen last night
now seems in fair way to be restricted.
One thing may safely be said and that is
that there is none of the reckless
disregard for prices and consequences
which so often, as seems evident, charac-
terized the old council. One reason for
this is that the machinery under the char
ter of 1886 was quite inadequate, and
>,
and perhaps one or two superauous heads
of departments, the city is better off with
a system which insures competent men
TO supervise the city's affairs, and who
are paid. as they should be, to watch its
interests.
The Posr-ISrELLIGKScER does not con-
denim the charter. As awhole it embodies
an admirable system of municipal govern
ment; but the observation-disclosures desires
TO have its application limited to the pres
ent necessities of the city rather than that
its full powers, designed TO meet the chang
ing conditions of rapid growth, should be
at once exhausted. For a limited applica-
ton of the charter, covering all the neces-
stiles of the city at this time. we can afford
10 pay for, but not for the elaborate estab-
hshment suited to three times our stature
which the charter has wisely provided for.

Ought to be a He'll,

The legislature passed an act appro-
priating fifty thousand dollars for the
purchase of seed grain for destitute
farmers in the western part OF the
state. The bill provides for it's distibu-
tion by the state board of railroad COM
missioners and the railroad companies
have generously offered to transport it
to any stations designated along their
lines free of cost. In it's distribution
the commissioners are having a fine op-
portunity to study the ugly side of
human nature. Some of the recipi ents
of this seed grain are reported as having
sold the wheat received before leaving
the town where they received it. One
men who admitted that he had two
hundred head of cattle and an inheri-
tance Of thirty thousand dollars, un.
blushingly filed certificate that he was
too poor to buy seed grain. Disgrace
full attempts are made by well-to-do
farmers to'secure Seed grain from the
commissioners at different points.
From this it would seem there is some
reasons for the good old Methodist
doctrine of total depravity. Some men
claim that there is no such place as an
orthodox hell. We don't care to enter
into an argument with them on this
subject, but will says if there is no hell
its great mistake. Certainly it is the
only place where a man so utterly lost
to the better instincts of his nature as
these men are can receive just reward
If there is no hell there ought to be

Close of the CONGRESS.

With the banquet tonight the first
Western States Commercial Congress
comes to an end No. not to an end.
1t may have finished its delibera-
tions, but the work done will 60 on
spreading like prairie fire, and the
most farseeing statesmen cannot tell
where it will end. The proceedings of
the congress have been given to the
country through the medium of the
press and remain to be printed in
pamphlet form for general distribution.
All will admit that it was composed of
broadguaged. level headed men of every
shade of belief, that its discussions
have covered a wide range of topics,
and that the four days session in this
city has been a splendid success.
One noticeable feature of the con-
vention was the presence of the south
ern delegates, which indicates that the
south and the west are becoming united
and gives promise that in the near
future these two sections may be ex.
pected to stand together to resist the
encroachments of the east and the
moneyed power of Wall street.-Kansas

Some Figures for Reflection.

When Egypt went down, two per
cent. of her population owned 81 per
cent. of her wealth.
When Babylon went down, two per
cent. of her population owned all her
wealth.
When Persia went down, one per
cent. of her population owned the land.
When Rome went down, 1,SOO men
owned all the known world.
There are about 4O, 600 900 people in
England, Ireland and Wales, and
LOG, 600 people own all the land in the
United Kingdom.
In the United States three-fifths OF
the entire wealth of the country is
owned by 81, 100 persons-less than
one-twentieth of one per cent. of the
population.
In 1860 there were but two million
aires in the United States and nc
tramps. To-day there are 35. 600 mil
lionaires and l 1,500, 900 tramps.

Not With the Republicans.

1t appears that U. S. Senator PETER
has been misrepresented when it was
stated that he had said he would vote
with the republicans on all matters of a
political nature. This the DEMOCRAT
is glad to learn, and we venture the
assertion that, if the senator sticks
faithfully by his promise to vote only
for the interests OF the farmers of Kan
sas, his constituency, his name will ap-
pear mighty seldom on the republican
side of the roll. Concerning the state
ment referred to he says:
II haye not at any time said for my
self or authorized any other person to
say for me that 1 would act with the
republican party in any case or number
of cases. In consideration of all these
matters, which have been referred to a
thousands times during the memorable
year of 1890 by the man who writes these
words, Notwithstanding all these things.
it seems necessary to again repeat SOL
emnly and plainly the language used IL.
public and Immediately after my cleo
ton to the senate, that when left the
republican party 1 left it for all time.
None of the old issues upon which the
party was born are now before us; they
have all been disposed of. On all new
issues the party as a party seems to be
wholly powerless to help the people
The minds Of the leaders are poisoned
with the doctrine taught by men who
have controlled the legislative machin-
cry of the world ever since money was
invented. Now it has come to this, in
my opinion the republican party must
either take hold of the things the peo-
pie want done or the republican party
must be utterly deStrOyed.''
