A Washington special says; There are
some facts that point strongly to a pro-
liability Of war. The Wa Department
is forwarding recruits in squads Of forty
or fifty as rapidly as possible to fill the
complement Of regiments in the far
West, and on the Pacific Coast. General
Schofeld said that ten thousand men are
available TO send out Of the country, but
that no more could be spared from the
regular army. Gun carriages are being
shipped TO San Francisco in sections and
guns will follow at an early date. Cen
eral Schofield has been twice summoned
before the Cabinet, and has given il as
his opinion that IL ten thousand men are
sent out the country it will be quite pos.
sible to fill their places in the regular
army at home by temporary enlistments
from the militia. A certain quota Of regu.
lars, equipped for actual service, are at
army posts to be called for from each
| State in case ten thousand men are trans.
ported to Chill. Should this not be
enough it is reported that the President
may call for 20, 200 volunteers for a year.

According to figures given in the Gin.
einati Enquirer there was some peculiar
voting done in the recent election in
Ohio. and shows the necessity of inform.
ing ourselves relative to the new law.
That journal declares that under the
new Australian ballot law 10000 more
votes were cast for Governor than for the
rest Of the ticket. Mckinley had 2l,-
500 majority while the rest Of the Repub-
lican ticket had 10000 majority. The
large apparent vote for Governor was oc-
casioned by the mistake Of stamping the
frst name Of the ticket instead Of the
head Of the ticket; and by the figures
there was 10, $50 Republicans who made
the mistake and II, $50 Democrats.

Dressing In Good Taste.

American ladies, especially In the larger
cities and towns, are becoming noted for
their good taste in dress. This is largely
due to the fact that they secure the best
Fashion Journals published, and by a care
full study Of them they get correct ideas
upon the sll-important subject OF dress.
Any lady can cultivate her taste In this
direction il she will only go to the trouble
of comparing the styles found In the re-
liable Fashion Journal, published by A.
Mcdowell Il Co., A West 14th St.. N. Y,
with those appearing in other Fashion
Magazines. Those issued by A. Mcdowell
& Co. are produced only by the best artists,
and are for the most part plain, and in
every respect practical; the Others are
generally very loud or dowdy, and
Thoroughly unsuitable for the requirements
OF American women. The firm OF A. Nc.
Dowell q Co. seeks to furnish ladies with
genuine French styles, such as can be used
without any danger Of appearing ridicu-
lous. Hence their Fashion Journals are
now the favorites among all the ladies OF
good taste throughout the country. LA

styles. album des Modes" furnishes

A POOR MAN.

New Yorker, who knows, tells MS
that Governor David b. Hill, Of the
Empire State, is not worth Of this
worlds goods. all told, to exceed sl0,.
600. He has no Identification whatever
with Wall street nor other money get.
ting schemers. whereby he might enrich
himself at the expense Of the masses.
He is eminently a man Of the people and
the poor mans friend. His associates
and closest friends are not mill
ionaires and plutoerats, but men in the
common, every day walks of life, who
believe in equal rights to ell and special
privileges to none. II is greatly in
Governor Hills favor, considering the
many positions Of public trust he has oc.
cupied, that he has not become rich. ID
shows that he holds closely to the doc
trine that a public Office is a public trust,
to be administered solely in the interest
of the people and not in any manner for
personal pscuniary benefit. Governor
Hill is not only a great leader, who
never quails before any man or set Of
men, no matter how powerful, but he is
also an honest man. The fact that the
great gold combination Of New York
has not been able to use or control him
is conclusive evidence that he stands
for the people. He is to be preferred to
any untried man. He is the kind Of
the West wants.

Out of all the "war news" which is
being telegraphed across the country the
most suggestive. if true, is that con-
tanned in two short paragraphs. One is
to the effect that the Government has
placed an order for twelve range-fnders
for use on our men.of.war. As these in.
struments have never been fully investi-
gated and formally approved by a Board,
the order may be held to signify urgency.
The other is the alleged note from Score.
tary Blaine to Congressman Holman, ask.
ing his presence in Washington early in
the year, as the President would want to
consult with him about some extraordin.
airy appropriations that may be needed
without delay when Congress reassem-
bles after the holidays. OF course such
an appropriation can only be for one pur.
pose-war. Really, if correctly reported.
there SENS to be nothing in the attitude
of the Chilean Government to warrant q
belief in peace.

400, % SILVER.

Harper's Weekly contains a cartoon
illustrating what $500. OOO, 900 in silver
means, and an article written by David
A. Wells, stating how long q time it
would take one man to count it, how
many cars it would take to haul
ID, how many men and how many wagon,
it would require to carry it, how high a
column one foot square il would build,
and . number Of other illustrations to
show the great wrong the government is
doing to continue its coinage. Here are
some figures: "a man beginning to
count in 1891 would finish in 1902.
What if he would? The 65, 900, 900
people in the United States could count
il in ten seconds, for they would only
have Sc Is each to count. Give thous.
and Eve hundred wagons would be re-
quired to carry it," What Of that!

United States has 100, 900 miles Of

would take an army of 100000 men to
carry it," Suppose it would! There
are men enough in the United States
carrying hods Of brick and mortar every
day, to carry it. Three men in New
York city have that much money. Ten
men in Chicago are worth that amount.
There are o thousand in the country who
own million each. These are the men
who are frightened or pretend to be
frightened at Mr.. Wells figures. They
want money dear because dear money
makes everything else, except interest,
cheap. They keep up the howl against

FUTURE OF THE NORTHWEST.

During Jay Cookies recent visit to the
Pacific coast in an interview with a rep.
resentative Of the press, concerning
his trip, among other entertaining and
encouraging things he said: "When
over fifty years of age l began anew the
process Of making a fortune. / have
worked hard; have won back the money
| lost, and can stop to breathe again.
Now, for the first time, l have gone from
one end to the other of the road on
which l look somewhat as a father
might on a child. There is 9 perfect
track, a fine equipment, and the country
traversed is rich and beautiful beyond
description. The road is just in it's in
fancy, and none can tell the development
yet before it. The fight in the early
seventies was a hard one, but when I see
5000. 900 living in happiness and comfort
along the line; when l see the benefit
to the country at large, l know that all
the toll and trouble of those days was
worth the while.
"The original intention was to run
the line from Puget sound to Duluth
Duluth, a place that had but six houses
when | first visited it, twenty years ago.
We wanted a line from water to water.
By the lakes it is no further from
Duluth to Buffalo than from Chicago; yet
from Puget sound to Duluth is 600 miles
less than from San Francisco to Chicago.
Then, too, the distance from Japan to
the sound is 500 miles shorter than from
Japan to San Francisco, SO in Asiatic
traffic there is a saving of l,400 miles.
The time will come when Puget sound
will be n of the greatest, if not the very
greatest. shipping ports Of the world.
The traffic between Asia and America
will enter here, and much of the traffic
between Asia and Europe.
"The development of this country
has just begun; but when you get at the
best of your resources. you will see q
progress beside which the past will fade
into insigniicance."

THE MINING INDUSTRY.

A we'll known writer in speaking OF
the legitimacy Of mining, says: Min
ing was q legitimate branch Of human in
dustry before civilization became pos.
sible. 1t was the cause Of the first adj
vance Of the race above the conditions
Of the "stone age"
Those. early races OF men who first
learned to mine and work the metals and
establish q uniform measure Of values be-
came masters of the world, are civilized
or rapidly becoming SO, while those races
who have never learned to mine and
work the metal are savages and will re.
main savages without the aid Of metal
mining and mechanical arts made pos
sible by il. Without mining industries
men would be powerless to subdue and
control the bountifui resources Of the
earth and make it TEEN with life, happi-
ness and sll-embacing glori6ed intelli.
gence. Deprive men Of legitimate min
ing industries and in a few hundred
years the planet would be almost de-
populated, and the few wandering tribes
remaining would drift back to the condi-
tions of the 'stone age
All useful employments are legitimate
branches of human industry. Nearly all
of them are made possible by mining in
dustries. The fact is that the mining
industry is the oldest, most useful and
important legitimate business on this
planet. Every man. however ignorant,
dissipated or despised, who digs q pound
of iron, copper, lead or other useful
metal out of the ground is a benefactor
to his race. Every man, however hum
Bile his station in life may be, who digs a
dollars worth Of gold or silver from the
rocky prisons of our mountains has
added that much permanent wealth to
civilized man. The man who first digs
out the dollar from the earth may not
be the absolute owner OF that dollar; he
is entitled only to the first use of 10. 1t
becomes she property OF the whole race,
and it passes from one hand to another as
the universally recognized measure and
representative of values"

NOT A SINGLE RAISE.

The advocates Of protection claim that
. high tariff means better wages for the
working people. II this can be dem.
onstrated the tariff cannot be made
any too high for us. But il 10 not
true. The United States enjoys abso.
lutte free trade in labor. There is
protection for the article manufactured
in this country, but not one cent on the
muscle engaged in their manufacture. The
Mckinley bill increased the tariff all
all along the line. II tariffs and duties
help wages they should have been bene-
fitted by the Mckinley bill. And yet
not one instance in the whole United
States can be found where wages have
been raised since that bill became alaw,
while thousands Of cases can be found
where they have been reduced since its
passage from ten to thirty per cent.
There may be strong arguments in favor
Of excessive tariffs, but the claim that
the working men and women OF the
country ecu better wages under them
ia not one Of them. The grea. trouble is
that no fair comparison is ever lads; mont
can be made. 1t is the custom to con-
trast wages on the virgin continent Of
North America with the wages paid In
the over crowded countries Of England
and Germany. No. account is taken OF the
widely differing conditions in those
countries. Here III man does not want
to work for wages he can take a piece Of
land or q mine and 20 to work for him
self. There, no such opportunity is open
to him. It is this outlet for labor in
this country that has everything to do
with keeping up wages. The time will
come in high protected America when
wages will be % lew as they are to-day
in any Of the countries Of the old world.
1t is only a question Of time and num-
bers. When the people become as
closely crowded fo- elbow room in this
country as they are beyond the Atlantic
the earnings Of w~age-workers will suffer
in q corresponding ratio. Then a days
work here will not buy a days subsist.

TAMEANY.

The organization in New York City
.nown as Tammany is the leading politi.
al organization in the United States.
is also the oldest. But there is g very
erroneous impression throughout the
regarding the character OF this
organization. There is general belief
that its membership is composed largely
Of thugs and thieves. This is in no
sense true. Tsmmsny is q club Of gen.
tlemen. Its total membership is only
about 5000, comprising the merchants,
professional men, etc., Of the Democratic
party. II is true that there are nearly
200 auxiliary clubs in as many precincts
which hold some sort Of allegiance to the
central, or head organization. The
Country Democracy has been swallowed
up by Tsmmany, and about everybody
in New York who amounts to anything
belongs to this time-honored society. 1t
ia simply an organization Of earnest, re-
spectacle Democrats, banded together to
further Democratic doctrine. Its great
strength and solidity have, Of course,
called down upon it the bitter denun-
c,asion Of all opponents. But it is
neither better nor worse than the various
leagues Of the other party, further than
that it is more compactly, aud therefora
more efficiently organized. The person
mel Of the society, especially of the Cen
trail Club, is as good as that of any Other
political organization in the country. In
point of enthusiasm and hard work, how
ever, in election times, it has no equal in
the civilized world. But it proceeds or
the doctrine that to the victors belong
the spoils. If it makes a hard fight and
wins the battle it simply wants the Off
ces that belong to its locality. Mr.. Cleve
land believed in rewarding either his ene
mics or the Mugwumps, and hence was
never popular with Tammany. 1t is fol
this reason that he is not available fol
the coming Presidential race. Tammany
is usually loyal to its %colors, but it IAN
not be worked up to the point Of taking
its coat off for Mr.. Cleveland, and with
out Tammany's enthusiastic support in
the city no Democrat can carry the State
Of New York in q National campaign.
Governor Hill stands we'll with
rsmmany and can carry New York; and
the Democrats are likely to need New
York to elect their President.
