PROPOSED NEW STATES.

Bills for the admission of New Mexico and
Arizona we're passed by the House at the
last session of Congress- but failed to get
through the Senate. 1t is expected that an
effort will be made to get the bills through
the Senate the coming winter. Both houses
of Congress are committed to the policy of
admitting new States when they have a
population sufficient to allow one member
OF the lower House. The one member be-
ing secured by theconsttution that standard
of population has been accepted, though in
some instances departed from. Territories
have been admitted as States without the
population required for member from an
old State. and other Territories have been
kept In the Territorial con iition whose popu-
lation was in excess of tire requirement.
In the absence OF positive evil consequences
resulting from the admission of new States
with comparatively small populations Con-
gress is committed to that policy One Ter.
ritory has a right to the benefit of a rule
applied to other Territories. Utah has been
denied statehood for other reasons than
population. but the rule Of population would
seem to apply 70 New Mexico and Arizona.
The objection often made that the vote of a
Senator from populous State IS Offset by
the vote Of a Senator from new and thinly
settled States loses force with each addition
to the list of States. 1t is too late to enforce
new rule in the absence of clear necessity.
No great harm has yet resulted to the nation
by the admission of new States, and the
work OF organizing State governments is
more than half done. The Senate may as
we'll pass the bills admitting New Mexico
ana Arizona and have done with it,

WATER IN STOCKS.

The Chicago Tribune gives list of trusts
acknowledged TO be such. which foot I'D a
capitalization of 81. 352. 100000. Fully one
nall oil this aggregate is estimated to be
water injected into the stock OF the con-
Germs TO cover up large dividends. The
Standard oil trust has a capitalization of
SllO.0O0,00o, Of which S45. COG, 600 is believed
to be water. The cotton-seed oil trust
makes showing Of Sal. 1905 900, OF which
S25,00O,000 is water. The linseed oil trust
is put down with a capital of SIS. 900
two-thirds water. The sugar trust is re.
ported to put one dollar in cash against two
dollars in water This enables the trust to
declare an Is per cent dividend year on
the cash invested, while appearing to de-
clare only 6 per cent dividend. Without
taking the trouble to verify the figures
given above the fact may be stated that
large percentage of the stock issued by semi
public corporations does not represent
cash invested. And yet there is Supreme
Court decision 10 effect which declares that
In preparing rates public authorities shall

A CHANCE FOR THE BROOKLYN.

Dispatches from Washington say that the
Secretary Of the Navy may award the
building Of the Brooklyn to the Union Iron
Works Of this city. There is q difference
Of only $4,000 between the bid OF the
Union Works and the bid of the Cramps.
and this would be covered by the three per
cent allowance that has heretofore been
made IN favor of the Western firm. The
exercise OF all lawful discretion in the dis
tribution Of work would be justified in
case Of this nature. 1t is for the interest of
the department to maintain competing
shipyards If all work is given to one
pant for few years others would be al
lowed to reduce their capacity to the de-
mands OF private business. At the present
time competition is enabling the Govern
ment to get vessels built al about cost, and
it would seem wise policy to maintain the
conditions which now prevail.

ORANGES FOR ENGLAND.

One fact developed by the shipment Of
cargo OF 95G0 boxes of oranges from a
Florida port is that there is a market in
England at prices ranging from 81 40 to
SO 80 box. The latter price is in excess
of the best prices the fruit commands in
the United States. The conclusion is, there
fore, that shipments may be continued with
profit This particular venture was not
profitable from the fact that owing to rough
weather a considerable portion of the fruit
was unfit for the market. The merchant
who made the shipment declares that next
season he will MAINTAIN a regular line of
fruiI-carriers from Florida to Liverpool,
London and other European markets.

Fairhaven herald. [volume] (Fairhaven, Wash.) 1890-????, 1892-11-13

DIR. r. w. Crothers himself states
great truth when he says in The Popular
Science Monthly that when great
truth begins to find public recognition
it is always first welcomed by the cred
ulous and visionary enthusiast, who
forms the most extravagant expectations
of it. Then straightway steps forward
the charlatan, who follows up this en-
thusiasm, trades on it and turns it to his
own personal profit. Meantime, under
all this heavy load Of extravagant ex-
recitation on the one hand and quackery
on the other, the real, solid scientific
facts in the matter proceed slowly TO
evolution and at length become part OF
the worlds acquisition.
So with drunkenness cures. When
all the chaff is winnowed out, when the
crauks are silenced and the frauds who
pretend to perform marvellous cures
have worked the mine of credulity till
il is exhausted, it will be found that
this much solid truth has been attained;
Drunkenness is a disease and durable as
other diseases are.
The doctor does not deny that the
auacks have made some cures. The old
pledge of the Washingtonian Temper
ance society also wrought cures 1t
was believed that there was some pc
culiar occult virtue in the mere act OF
taking the pledge, and that some spirit
ual power descended with the solemnly
pronounced vow into the soul Of the
man taking it, which controlled thence
forward his mad craving for liquor.
This belief had its due influence on the
minds of thousands, and while it lasted
did good. 1t was in fact the Original
mind cure.
In like manner, while the belief IL
them lasts, the quacks' specifics for inc
briefly will undoubtedly cure som'
drunkards. For the rest, it is tolerabl,
certain that drunkenness is ian insanit,
of the border line type" Its origin is il
a general defective condition OF tn
central brain. When science learn
how to remedy this condition, drunken
ness will pass into the category of dis
eases remediable by medical skill.

OUR ADVANTAGEOUS LOCATION

In connection with the local notice
in today's issue in relation to the re-
spective merits of the Blue Canyon
coal and that produced at the Fair
haven mines, the former being most
valuable as steam producing power
while the latter stands equal to any in
the United States in making a firm
and excellent quality of coke, it is in
teresting to note that the coal recently
discovered by the Bellingham Bay
Improvement Company contains ex-
cellent qualities for domestic purposes,
so that the combination of the three
grades places Bellingham Bay in the
front rank as the site for large and I'M
portant manufactures some day in the
near future, as well as desirable loca-
ton for home and residence purposes.
A reference to the local columns OF the
HERALD will also show that large
quantities of ore are constantly being
shipped from this port to the smelter at
Tacoma. indicating a most fortuitous
combination of circumstances pointing
towards the Bay as the natural point
for the location of like enterprise as
that existing in the City of Destiny"
With lime in unquestioned abundance
and all the requisites in the line OF fuel
living close at hand; with ores Of all
kinds stored away in rich profusion in
the hills and mountains of our own
and adjacent counties and in Britlsn
Columbia, which finds its first tide wa
ter outlet through Bellingham Bay
with matchless water front, perfectly
land locked and lying near the Paclh'
ocean, and with two transcontinenta
lines already running into the city anf
another seeking admittanee, the resi-
dents of the Bay cities may rest conn
IDENTIFY upon the conviction that tn
day cannot be very far in the futur
when these remarkable advantages vii
be seized by the proper parties am
turned into source of financial AM
commercial prosperity which Will con
tinue to create a united Bay city sec
ond to no other in the state.

THE POLITICAL HUSTLER

The recent political campaign In
Whatcom county called into use the
professional hustler. 1t is not necessary
for him to have any politics or political
convictions. He must be an easy talker,
active in his movements and one who
will, with show of earnestness, talk
m one candidate for money and talk
down another for the same price. he
is not expected to adhere to the truth,
but must be an expert in exaggeration
and have the gall to buttonhole any
and every man he meets. He Is ex-
pected to find out the prejudices, likes
and dislikes of man before tackling
him and then arrange his story to
adapt IL TO the man to whom he talks.
These hustlers, we learn, receive rom
two to five dollars per day and their ex-
penses, unless working on salary
The chief duty that the hustler has TO
perform is to get votes for his candidate
and prejudice voters against the opposl-
ton candidate. If he has been In the
business 40 as to be known as q profes-
sional to bis neighbors he is sent off as
missionary to other localities where
he is not known in his true inwardness
The less he appreciates the benefits o
good government the better he is fitte'
TO carry out his profession. Loyalty t.
the principles of this government or re
gard for its honest administrator
would wholly disable him from efiicien
work. His inmost desire must be :
make a few dollars and achieve prom
hence as a hustler. He also needs
