Rumors are again i'm circulation that
the Northern Pacific company has
surveyors in the county looking up the
most feasible route to the Bay. Or
dinarlly rumors are in advance of the
facts, but in this instance they lag be-
hind by several sections. The truth is
that Northern Pacific officials have
long ago decided on the best route from
their nearest station in the county to
tide water and for some considerable
time have been quietly working for
right of-way over the desired line a large
part of which right-of-way is already
secured, and some of these fine morn
ings the people who are contenting
themselves with behind-hand rumors
viii awake to learn that five hundred
men or more are at work building the
new connection and thereby giving the
Bay its third transcontinental term
mus. Another road which will be
under operation before long is the pro-
posed new connection of the Bellinp-
ham Bay 4 Eastern with the Blue
Canyon coal bunkers, preparations for
which have by no means been tagging.
Operations on these two roads, COM
bined with the proposed Lynden Motor
line, viii create quite stir in whateom
county when they are all under way.

The London Illustrated News declares
that young Englishmen read nothing but
accounts of prize fights and sporting
events; that it is humiliating in the ex-
treme to contrast them with young
Americans, who, according to this au-
thority, are well up in modern literature
and familiar with the best of current
poetry and fiction. This is gratifying to
our national vanity. Still, in the inter
ests of strict TRUTH it must be confessed
that, so far as familiarity with present
day literature goes, even American
youths don't know enough to hurt them.
They read the sporting page of the news
paper with much more interest than the
literary page.

Common Schooling.

1t has been found that of alleged ste
nographers and typewriters not more
than one-third who offer their services
to deluded public know how to spell
or write good English A merchant not
long since advertised for an entry clerk.
He had 80 applications for the place.
He examined 80 of them in common
fractions in arithmetic and found only
five who knew anything aboutit Nearly
all the applicants had been educated in
the public schools. So are nearly all the
typewriters.
The pupil of the country district school
knows more about the common English
branches than the city pupil. 1t is be-
cause the city schools attempt too much
and turn out pupils who know nothing
thoroughly. They will have to retrace
their steps, give up fads in education
and come down to just plain hardpan.
The admirable kindergarten training ed
ucates the child's eye, ear and hand.
Then might come simply reading, writ
ing, arithmetic, geography and the his
tory of the United States. Every pupil
should be made able, above all, to COM
pose good English and read and write
the English language correctly. Then
train the pupils manners and morals
If to this is added some knowledge of
music and drawing where there is time
for it, the public school pupil who must
go to work at the age of IA has all the
learning he can take in.

complimenting the generosity of Amer

asserting that the character Of the
English people was such that social
recognition could be purchased with
money.

AMONG the compromises already
suggested is one that appears TO be
rapidly gaining ground. 1t is to simply
repeal that clause of the Sherman law
which compels the purchase of A, 000,-
900 ounces of silver bullion a month
by the Treasury, or to merely adopt an
amendment to the law authorizing
the purchase of silver to be made or
not made in the discretion of the
President, and to let IL go at that for a
few months, in order to determine
what other silver legislation may be
necessary. A number of Democrats
who favor the free coinage Of silver
have announced their willingness to
support this compromire at the extra
session, leaving the question of furth'
er silver legislation to be determined
at the regular session.

GOLD EXPORT.

We have thus made the depletion of
our gold easy, and have tempted other
aud more appreciativo nations to add
it to their stock. That the opportunity
We have offered has not been neglected
is shown by the large amounts Of gold
which have been recently drawn from
our treasury and exported to increase
the financial strength Of foreign nat
ions. The excess cfexports OF gold
over its imports for the year ending
June 80, 1898, amounted to more than
eighty-seven and half millions Of
dollars. Between the 1st day Of July,
1890, and the 10Th day of July, 1893,
the gold coin and bullion in our
treasury decreased more than one
hundred and thirty two millions Of
dollars, while during the same period
the silver coin and bullion in the
treasury increased more than one hun
bred and forty-seven millions Of DOLL
ars. Unless government bonds are is
sued TO be constantly issued and sold
to replenish our exhausted gold, only to
be again exhausted, it is apparent
that the operation Of the silver purch-
ase law now in force, leads in the
direction Of the entire substitution Of
silver for gold in tho government
treasury, and that this must be follow
ed by the payment Of all government
obligations in deprecated silver.
AT this stage gold and silver must
part company and the government
must fail in its established policy to
maintain the two metals on parity
with each other. Given over to the ex-
elusive use OF currency greatly de-
preciated according to the standard OF
the commercial world we would no
longer claim place amoung the nat
ions Of the first class, nor could onr
government claim q performance Of
its obligation, 50 far as such an obligs-
ton has been imposed upon it, to pro-
vide for the use OF the people the best
