never spoke.
So they worked in sullen silence, and
after Il month of absence the schooner
was standing in for her own port per-

darkest nights that ever fell upon the
ocean, and with u gale blowing which
Threatened at any moment to take the
sticks out OF her.
The captain lay in the cabin, stunned
by the fall Of block, and Dick worked
the schooner; and there was IL loud, eN-
ultant ring i'll bis voice as he gave the
word OF con mand.
Two miles out of port Il rocky point
ran out into the seal point on which
the bones of many Il good craft had
been laid.
But Harry was thinking of A1illy-of
Milly, who waited and watched for his
coming, and he thought, with pang at
the heart, that perhaps, after all, he
had wronged her and Dick.
Then came a great crash, an awful
yell from the men, and the schooner
was on the rocks, and the great break
ers beating against her with cruel force.

hoarse, strained voice. 'Ha! they see
us! There goes ight!''
And there flashed up on the beach Il
bonfire; in its light men were seen
darling here and there, and then, pushed
out by eight strong rowers, the ifeboat
darted out.
They brought up the injured captain
and laid him on the deck, and he was
the first they lowered into the boat us
it came up.
The men went down one by one, until
only Harry and Dick remained upon
the deck.

He caught Harry suddenly by the

not have borne another without. filling
Next day they found him lying upon
the shining sand, with his head pillowed
on one brawny arm and 4 smile upon
his face, which only good men wear

PROLETARIAN PARIS.

There are Fifty Thousand RagI'ickers in
The French Capital.
The wealth of Paris is so b0undless
that the rubbish and refuse of the city
are worth millions. There are more than
fifty thousand persons who earn living
by picking up what others threw away.
Twenty thousand women and children
exist by sitting and sorting the gather
ings Of the pickers, who collect every day
in the year about 1900 tons Of merchan-
disc, which they sell to the wholesale
rag dealers for some 10000 francs. AT
night you see men with baskets strapped
on their backs, a lantern in one hand.
and in the other stick with an iron hook
on the end. They walk along rapidly,
their eyes fixed on the ground, over
which the lantern filings a sheet of light,
and whatever they find in the way Of
paper, rags, bones, grease, metal, etc,
they stow away in their baskets. In the
morning, in front of each house, you see
men, women, and children citing the
duSt-bins before they are emptied into
the Scayengers' carts. At various hours
of the day you may remark isolated rag,
pickers, who seem to work with a more
independent air. The night pickers are
enerally noviceS; men who. having been
thrown out of employment. are obliged
to hunt for their living like the wild
beasts. The morning pickerS are ex-
perienced and regular workers, who pay
for the privilege of sitting the dust-bins
of certain number of houses and OF
trading with the results. The rest, the
majority. are the coureurs, the the run
ners, who exercise their profession free
" and without control, working when
they please and loafing when thes- please
They are the philosophers and adventur-
erS of the profession. and their chief
object is to enjoy life and mediate upon
its problems.

Ii you use q ram of one breed this wear

an ordinary flock of grade ewes he

To such criminal negligence us this may

voters which would give us a law to

the dogs, we should have lots of buyers
in competition for our stock and for
our wool, and better markets for both.
Our numbers could be increased each
year if we would talk up the industry
among our neighbors and on every
proper occasion bring forward and in

The country has overproduced un-
der protective tariff which did not
open market for an additional
pound OF pork or barrel of -four" and
this overproduction has caused dis
tress and financial contraction. Meth
er silver nor tariff legislation have ey.
erything to do with the present state.
1t is an overcrowded market at home
and no money to handle the surplus.
Whenever we find a market for our
surplus, the factories will begin to
operate and the farmer will get liv-
ing price for his products. Legisla-
ton, unless it accomplishes this end,
is useless to relieve the depressed state
of the money and the manufacturing
markets, and the only hope is the con-
sumption at home of the overproduc-
ton. The depression is all over the
world and not confined to the United
States. Give us a market, and the
difficulty would be quickly solved.
We want market for our manufac-
tured goods, farm products, and labor,
and gold and silver will find their own

AN IMPORTANT DECIsIoN.-The Su-
preme Court, Wednesday, ruled that
the Great Northern Railroad had no
right to ride over and Cypress a coal
road in Seattle for the sake OF getting
terminal grounds in that city. The
shorter and lesser road was there first
and the Supreme Court protected it
by reversing the decision Of the Supe-
rior Court of King comfy granting
right of way across the tracks of a
number of other roads. The decision
also laid down the law on the question
OF building roads across tide lands by
holding that the State was supreme
in this matter and that roads built on
such land were there at the sufferance
of the State.

The Presidents message is brief but
to the point 1t states one, and the
principal, reason for the retirement of
capital and the cause of present suffer
ing. While all may agree upon the
disa- trous results of the Sherman law,
which compels the purchase of $780,
600 ounces of silver monthly, and the
payment to be made in gold. if de-
manded, there is wide difference of
opinion as to the provisions that shall
be made as a substitute. 1t is upon
this matter that the wisdom of Con-
gress will be taxed to the utmost.
Present indications are that the ur-
gency of the matter has led TO a spirit
OF concession, that will pave the way
for harmonious action. Let us hope
that no time will be lost in restoring
confidence at the fountain head of our
financial system, and then continue
the labor of removing other resultant
causes.

Retrenchment as a Relief.

The city of Chehalis has set Il good
example in retrenchment for these
" days which try mems souls" They
have reduced the salary list fully 500
PER month, 10y dispensing with officers
whose services were not absolutely ne
ccs>ary, and they expect that another
saving OF 800 per month may be
made in Lighting the city. This is a
move in the right direction.
1t is not enough to jog along paying
the salaries and charges fixed at a
time when labor commanded ready
wages at remunerative rates. If the
salaries paid cannot be reduced until
the laws are changed. at least better
hours can he demanded and sinecure
positions abolished.
This is no time for extravaganza in
public expenditures. Any proposition
to increase municipal or other indebt-
edness when taxes &" unpaid and pen
atty and interest are added simply
from an impossibility to make the rev.
enue equal the fixed demands for in
terest, indicates the poorest of finan-
cial ability. When the fury of the
storm threatens to overwhelm, the
prudent mariner shortens sail, and to
crowd canvas under such conditions,
is to invite inevitable destruction.
Let us hope that the example of
Chehalis may not be lost on all
charged with discretionary power.
The statement of the Auditor of this
county, just issued, shows a fixed in.
debtedness which must be met by $685.
600 per annum for interest alone.
This is at the rate OF - ,OS3 per month,
or nearly $G7 per day, or 500 for each
hour in the twenty-four, for interest
alone on the county debt. Those who
live in the city of Olympia have nearly
as much more to pay on municipal in
debtedness. 1t is quite plain that idle
mills and vacant buildings cannot
long stand this strain. They must
sooner or later pass under the ham,
mer, unless relief is afforded, and the
only hope in this direction seems to
be in retrenchment. To 60 further in
debt merely as means of affording
temporary relief to labor, as has been
advocated, is delusive alternative. 1t
is drawing on future, already heavily
burdened, to tide over the present. 1t
is burning the candle at both ends. l
is sacrificing hope Of life to spur Vi
tality into spasmodic appearance of
present health.
