In spite of the hard times, the little
giant of the Northwest, Seattle, con-
tinues to grow at rate that fairly
eclipses the marvellous growth of Chi
cago in her early history. Ten years
ago Seattle had a population of but
6.645. By careful estimates it is shown
that these figures have been multiplied
by ten in 1894. From an assessed val
nation of property in 1888 of s5,919, 1856
the amount has grown to s4S, sO2, ZIG.
The city had six newspapers and pe-
rlodicals in 1883, ten years later it had
thirty-four. Ten years ago it had no
street railroads, now it has ninety
miles of them.

M. BAYIN, well-known in engineer
Ing circles in France, proposes in brief,
to build an Atlantic liner on eight roll
lers, with the view of securing speed
much higher than any thus far attain
ed, arguing that the wheels or rollers
on which the vessel is to rest will so
greatly diminish the resistance offered
by the waves that thirty knots an hour
will be easily within the bounds of pos
sibility and will enable the passage
from Southampton or Liverpool to New
York to be made in four days.

WHAT 1T TEACHES.

The result of the elections through
many lessons which the people may
profit by in the future if they but keep
them in mind.
1t teaches, throughout the nation,
that party pledges made to the people
should be kept. The democratic plat
form OF 1892 met the approval Of the
people, and OH the Strength of the
pledges therein made by the democracy,
they, the people, rallied to the support
OF the party They Deiieved would quick
est reform the evils which had grown
nppn the land through long years OF re-
publican mlsrule, and placed a demo
cratic president and both branches of
congress in the hands OF our party By
the1reachery of a few repre- ent atlves,
and mlSconception of the existing con
dition of the country and the needs of
the people, the democratic administra-
ton frittered away valuable time in
windy wrangie and did little through
the long months for the relief of the
people. Had they passed the Wilson
bill as 1t passed the house and given
the country some silver legislation that
the masses of people demanded. the
result of the recent elections would
have been entirely different, and the
democrats would have had both
branches of congress for two years
more. AS it now stands, the partial
good that will come to the country
through what legislation WAS given is
all the people may hope for the next
two gears, unless in the coming short
session of congress democrats awake to
the needs of the hour and do some good
work while they may. May they profit
by the lessons of the 9th of Novem-
Der, 1894
In Kansas many valuable lessons are
taught. The result has proven that
there is no need of, no hope for the
building up of Il third party. The pop
ulists have been given a chance. have
been weighed in the balance and found
wanting. The democrats who two
years ago refrained from making a
party fight, and gave their support to
the populistS for the purpose of getting
new deal in state affairs, in the hopes
of lettering the condition of her peo-
pie have been taught that fusion. while
it might have been temporarily crafty
ing. is dangerous to any and all parties
which attempt it, and can have no last
ing good. And it has proven a costly
lesson to Kansas democracy. Bv rea-
son of fusion of two years ago many
thousands of democratic votes were cast
forLewelling and many other thousands
were cast for Morrill,. with the result
that David Overmyer. the only capable,
straightforward and conscientious can
didate for governor did not get mere
than one fourth the actual democratic
vote of the state. Democrats will Ger

tainly profit by this experience in years
to come.
1t has demonstrated that Kansas peO-
pie are not prepared To continue taking
up with every LAD and ism that may he
sprung upon the VoLeIS, and That the
democracy iS-aS 1t always has been
the only party to stand sQuarely for the
lair name of The state; for 10 the demOc-
racy alone is due The credit tor keeping
horde OF nOtOrleJy seeking and
home neglectlng women from being
turned loose at future elections to SOW
dIScord i'll peaceful homes and arouse
the WIVES and daughters OF Kansas in
un wOmanly pursuit OF politics. With
out the unfilnching and unequivOcat-
ing, manly, determined fight made by
tie democrats of Kansas the suffrage
amendment would never have been de
feated. By reason of this fight our
ladies today remain our SUPERIORS in
stead of being lowered to our EQUALS.
Another lesson We hope the recent
elections has taught to the democrats
of Barton county in particular; and that
is, that party organization and party
loyalty are essential to success at all
times. Had every democrat voted for
his party candidate tthan whom there
were none better before the people) the
republicans would not have swept the
field. Only a glance at the official re
turns is needed to prove this. and the
republicans themselves acknowledge it.
With all these lessons we'll learned
and with the knowledge and assurance
that the principles of democracy are
undying and forever right. no matter
how much or how often they may be
perverted and betrayed. there is every
reason in the world for democrats to
again grid on your armor and renew
your sDanfnl fight for your principles
your homes and your country.
