WHAT MAKES GREAT CITIES
Important Cities often the Outcome OF
Mere Handling of Goods

Important Cities often the Outcome of
Mere Handling of Goods
All modern cities have some reason
for existing. On looking over the maps
the first feature that strikes the OBJ
server is that the great commercial
towns occupy commanding geographi-
positions, either as seaports, at the ex-
tremities of lake transportation, at con-
fluences of large rivers with each other,
or where they debOuch into lakes and
bays, at the headwaters of inland navi-
CATION, facing passes through mountain
barriers, and at all points which the
topography indicates as natural rail-
road centers. Many European cities
which had attained Importance before
the era of railroads, are disadvantage
ously situated as to the latter, which
are constrained to go out of their way
to meet them though as a general rule
| the railroads follow the lines of more
primitive transit.
The manufacturing cities are at and
near the districts whence the raw
material is derived or where there is
large water power, and where the facil-
tiles for marketing the finished prod
ucts are the best.
In this country we have one remark
able example of city built upon Q
badly chosen site which has had
an extraordinary growth, not
; withstanding the disadvantage o.
of location, and that is Washington
But this may be accounted for by po
litical and social causes, and even il
, the exceptional instance the truth o
the general rule is shown to hold good
for, in spite of population of a quartz
I of a million it produces nothing (sav
4 contributions to the Congrcssiona
g Record) and there is really not whole
4 sale business house in it, the city beint
I (apart from the official status) merel.
u an overgrown winter resort.
S There is one consideration often los
= sight of. Important towns are also tn
y outcome of the mere handling of goods
J, not marts where actual purchases ant
sales are made, but places where mel
chandise and products are trans-shippe
, from one means of conveyance I
. another, as from ocean navigation
K railroads, and vice versa, and from raj
J. road to railroad. This alone may su
o flee as a rdiSon detre for cities, and col
n siderable populations find occupatio
i'm the simple transfer of commercii
centers, and it is easy to see how the
m natural surroundings have wrougt
IL out the effects, the environments d'
termining the evolution. A cursor
glance at the maps would, however,
re sometimes misleading in fixing upo
~ the most likely spots for planting cite

le the surface.-Dayton (Ohio) Clipper.

The Farmers Are Doing Right Well

In 1860 the farms of the United States
Were valued at 1854, 100000; now
they are worth 5000, 1858, 100000; in 1860
the live stock was valued at S246,0 ,00O,-
600. now it is worth $3.50, 900, 600; in 1860
the farmers owned household furniture
to the amount Of S1,0S9, 100000, now
they own S2,41s,O00,0O0; in 1860 the
farm implements in use aggregated

poorer under protection, as the fret
traders claim.-Toledo Blade.

The Stowaway

Manager f. G. Thomas has good
cause to congratulate himself over the
appreciation showed by his Fairhaven
friends, fully hundred of whom, des-
pite the inclemency of the weather, at
tended the performance of the Stow
away in its presentation at the Light
house theater last evening. This num-
Der, supplemented by those who at
tended in New Whatcom, gave as large
a house as any which has greeted the
plays from the outside during the en-
tire season. The performance itself
was received with considerable enthusi-
asm by those who were present. Walter
Edwards, in the leading role, acted
well, the support, however, not being
so good as the plot deserves. The
villain was responsible for more
badness than generally falls to
the lot of one man, but
nevertheless shouldered his re
sponsibilities with becoming force
The famous safe-blowing scene, by two
ex professionals, won the highes ad
miration of the ladies, and profoundes
marks of reverence from the small boy
| in the audience.

A staunoh and Veteran Republican

Il. G. Reed goes to Tacoma today,
whence he leaves with Mrs. Reed in
few days for Missouri, to reside for a
time with his son. He hopes, how
ever, to return to the Sound in year
or two to grow up with the country
when it takes a new start. The old
gentleman is thorough American and
an ardent Republican. Talking politics
a little with some friends "a few days
ago he said: 81 have been voter for
fifty-seven years and if my life could
be spared for fifty years longer nothing
but physical incapacity or loss of my
faculties could prevent me from con-
tinuing to cast my vote against the
Democratic party"
Mr.. Reed voted for General William
Henry Harrison for president fifty-two
years ago and confidently expects to
see the grandson of "Old Tippecanoe"
reelected this fall.

F'requent Conflicts Have Taken Place
Recently-GencraI Crespos ChaI.
lenges Casanas to Bring His Army
Field and Settle the Question OF
Supremacy Once for All.
PANAMA, May 2s.-The officers of a
steamship arriving from La Guyara
confirm the worst of recent reports as to
the anarchistic condition of Venezuela,
and give news of repeated dynamite out
RACES which have spread terror among
the citizens of the capital Frequent
engagements have taken place within
the last two weeks, but the combatants
have been only small bands of govern
ment troops aud gangs of raiders who
call themselves Revolutionists. Several
scores of wounded have been brought to
Caracas, but the government reports
nevertheless that its troops have been
victorious in every engagement.
General Crespo's challenge to Casanas
to bring his army to the open field and
settle the question of supremacy once
for all SO as TO relieve the sufferings of
the people, has won many friends. as
the governments persistently prolong-
ing the struggle is generally considered
TO be due to Palacio's Indifference to the
welfare of the country.
Casanas, after refusing to meet Crespo,
returned to Caracas and resigned his Of
fces as Palacios physician, chief adj
wiser and commander of the army. Pa
lacios suspects treachery and committed
him to prison.
The state of general intimidation in
the capital for the last two weeks has
been unprecedented. Carloads of pris-
oners have been brought in from La
Guyara and other cities in the hands of
the government and have been marched
IN chains through the streets as warn
ings to local disloyalists. The prisons
already are fun OF men arrested in
Caracas, and private houses have been
seized and turned into prisons to re-
ceive the suspects from other cities. All
are confined without trial and after
merely superficial examination.
Private Houses PiIIagcd.
Hardly night passes without raid
by Palacios soldiers ON the families of
private citizens. The houses are
searched, the plate and money seized,
and the men are led off to prison. Three
explosions of dynamite within the last
two weeks have increased the appre-
hensions of all residents of the city and
have given the government excuses for
Rrresting more innocent men.
On May l3 "a bomb was exploded in
the entry way of tho Military academy.
The door leading into the first lecture
room was blown off and two cadets and
an officer We're killed by flying splinters.
poTeral others were injured, including
three men and a woman who were pass
ang the building at the time of the ex-
plosion. The streets were filled with
frightened men and women. The mill
tary was called out, aud for two hours
panic and widest apprehension pre-
vailed throughout the city. Four days
later shanty ON the outskirts of the
city was blown up and one man was in-
3ured. He is suppoeed to be govern
ment spy.

WASHINGTON, May 2S.-Mr. Cleveland
will not retire from the presidential con-
test. This can be stated authoritatively
and with emphasis from Don NJ. Dick
inson, whose personal relations with the
ex-prcsident are well known. 1t is-one
of the main features which have been
developed during the brief but import
ant visit he has made here. He reached
Washington with Deputy Secretary of
State Rowley, of Michigan, and from
the moment of his arrival the atmos-
phere was charged with Cleveland SEN
timent.
Mr.. Dickinson had come direct from
New York, where he had met the leaders
Of the Cleveland movement and had II
lengthy talk with Mr.. Cleveland him
self. The Michigan man was, therefore,
talking understandingly on the situa-
ton. Ten minutes after Mr.. Dickinson
arrived he was in Il cab headed for the
mouse of Senator German, the dark
horse" of the situation The conference
which ensued lasted three hours.
"Do you mean by this that you are
absolutely confident of Mr.. Cleveland's
nominations" was asked Mr.. Dickinson.
"Assuredly do; so sure, in fact, that
| do not want to indicate by any discus
sion of the subject that there is any open
question to discuss"
