The Augusta Herald of the 4th instant had an editorial with the significant head, Every Democrat in His Place" The line is respectfully submitted for the consideration of those Democrats who are being led into the ranks of silver monometallism by a cotere of disap- pointed ofTice-seekers, and who will in the end carry them into the ranks of Pop ulism if it becomes necessary to do so in order to consummate the end for which their faction was created. The news columns of this issue contain a story of the proposed meeting on the 10th of November from which an idea can be gotten as to the object of that convention. The party from whom the information was obtained was not at all backward in conveying the asser- ton that the free silver Democrats would join the valiant 1500 which will be gotten together by the genial Reuben of the house of Koib. Democrats take heed in time; keep in mind the reading of the line, Every Democrat in His Place." your place is not in the midst of Populite convention. drawn together bY the man to whom, more than any other in the State, is due the dissension existing in the ranks of the Democratic party at the present time

is believed that the great additiona
value given to them by the construc

Notwithstanding this report, the

at is probable that the first work
done will be the dredging either at
the mouth of Salmon Bay or at its
head, following up the cut to a point
near Lake Union, leaving sufficient
material at that poiut to act as dam
to hold up the water of the lake until
the lock and auxiliary works at the
mouth OF Salmon Bay are completed,
thus impending fresh water in Sal.

level of Lake Union before completing

Threats of Science.

Wonderful things are going TO be
done by the development of synthetic
chemistry between now and the year
1000 if Professor Berthelot, the
French savant, is to be believed. The
food and drink producing animals and
vegetables will not then be encouraged
to exist for human life, but food and
drink will be manufactured direct and
to order by man himself and served in
highly concentrated tablets, vest
pocket size.
A person may then carry about him
two or three table d'hote dinners com,
plete, from Blue Point oysters or Lit.
tie Neck clans to crackers, cheese and
coffee, tobacco and with all his wine
and cognac included. This change
will be brought about, it is said, by
the remarkable progress being made
in compounding food and drink from
their constituent elements-carbon
hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. 1t
has advanced so far already that the
preparation OF beefsteak from its ele-
ments is assured, and nicotine, the
essential principle of tobacco, has
been produced from coal tar.
Life indeed would not be worth the
living should the professor have his
way. The ready made tablets Of food
and drink would be horribly alike to
the eye, the taste and the understand
ing; eating and drinking would be
purely mechanical; good fellowship
and wit and imagination would de.
part, and existence would be utterly
material and dull.

The enormous power that can be
drawn upon for transmission purposes
from the Niagara Falls will be under
stood when it is known that the
weight OF water which passes over
these falls is equivalent to the produc-
ton of 1000, 600 horse power per hour,
SO that by electrical transmission, a
great part Of this power required for
the industries of North America could
be supplied from the falls. One of the
most interesting examples of electrical
transmission OF power is that OF Tivoli,
near Rome; here the antique and
modern engineers join hands. The
water delivered from the old Roman
aqueducts at Tivoli drives very power
full turbines and an electric generat-
ing plant, and the energy generated is
transmitted by four copper cables to
the City of Rome, some nineteen
miles away, where it is distributed for
lighting and power purposss-the
water brought by those triumphs Of
Roman engineering thus serving as 9
means of lighting the superb monu.

eral months since Rev. c. f. GOode
hit upon new process for making
coffee. His scheme attracted the at
tention Of many local business men,
who have incorporated a company for
the manufacture of the coffee on big
scale. Since the patent stuff was put
on sale there, all the geniuses OF the
town have been making tests to dis.
cover the actual ingredients and, az
the enterprise looked as if there might
be money in it, an opposition com.
pany has sprung up, with a coffee
that retails at the same price, and ia
claimed to be equal to the original dis.
covery. George Sutherland and DR.
Cal. NJ. Boswell are the prime movers
in the latest coffee venture. Both
coffees are having big sale, and the
two concerns threaten to make fight

Seattle,s Ship Canal.

Eugene Rickseeker, the engineer for
the government, who will be in local
charge OF the work of building the
canal, says concerning the present
status of it:
"The project contemplates a canal
twenty-six feet deep, having bottom
width of so feet and surface width of
15S feet, from Union Bay on Lake
Washington to Lake Union, a distance
Of some 1900 feet, crossing a narrow
ridge 90 feet higher than Lake Union
also a canal OF the same dimensions
from Lake Union to the head Of Sal
mon Bay, about 600 feet, through a
valley but Il few feet higher at its up
per end than Lake Union. The water
of Salmon Bay is to be raised to and
maintained at level with Lake Un-
ion, and lock so feet wide and 400
feet long in the clear is to be con-
structcd at the mouth of Salmon Bay,
provision being made for the addition
of two more when the necessities OF
commerce demand them. Through
the shoals at the mouth of Salmon
Bay the channel will be dredged 800
feet wide at the bottom. Through
Salmon Bay and the shoals at the foot
and head of Lake Union and in Union
Bay the channel will have q bottom
width of 200 feet.
"By the construction of this canal
a number OF acres of land will become
submerged. The largest tract thus
submerged is contiguous to the head
of Salmon Bay, nearly half of which
is marshy at high tide. Another
large tract lies on the south side of the
canal near Lake Union. Congress
feared that excessive damages would
be asked by reason Of this submergence
and subsequently inserted a clause in
the river and harbor bill, providing
that no part of the $4,000 appropri
ated should be used until the entire
right of way and release from damages
had been secured to the government

An important case from Chehhalis
county was decided last week by the
Supreme Court, in the case OF Samuel
Benn, respondent vs.. Chehalis county
appellants. This was a suit brought
by Benn to compel the county to take a
certain sum in payment OF taxes,
which was much less than the amount
levied by the county. He paid por
ton of his taxes without protest, but
he owned large amount Of property
comprising over eleven hundred de-
scriptions. the taxes upon which ag-
gregated $2,S25.SO. He maintained
that the property was assessed double
its value, and rendered the Treasurer
the sum of ST. All. 80, which he main.
tanned was a just tax at a fair yalua-
ton. The treasurer refused to ac-
cept the tender, and few days after
wards the taxes went delinquent. Last
year he employed A. E. Griftiths to
bring suit against the county, COM
pelling the treasurer to accept the
amount rendered in full payment of
his taxes on the property in question.
The court of that county decided in
favor of Mr.. Benn and gave judgment
against the county. The cause was
appealed to the Supreme Court. which
sustained the lower court. 1t is the
first case of the kind brought in this
State, and besides settling the fact
that the property was assessed double
its value, it also settles the point that
an individual may sue the county and
compel it to accept lawful tax, and
release the property from . tax lien
without waiting two years to be sued
by the county.-Vidette.

One Washington correspondent say,
that all this talk about the luxurious
habits of Senators and their consci-
enceless appropriation of the public
funds for pin money and the purchase
OF silver paper weights is largely hum
bug. 1t makes entertaining literature,
but at the expense OF veracity.
AS rule Senators live very cheaply
and unostentatiously, and the oppor-
tunities for petty pilfering.. under
cloak of the contingent fund are in
tinitesimal.
Each Senator is allowed 1925 a year
for stationery. So is every member OF
the House. for that matter, and there
was never yet q Senator or Represen-
tative who did not spend at least
twice this amount in the course of the
year in postage alone.
Each OF them pays from 800 to
5000 out Of his own pocket every ses-
sion for the pleasure of carrying on a
correspondence with constituents
whom he had never heard of before,
and who write generally on private
matters affecting only themselves.
Then there are the Senate baths.
We hear great deal about their
splendid appointments. The sybaritic
luxury of decadent Rome was not a
marker to them if descriptions were
to be believed. The marble tubs, the
delicate aromas and the Ethiopian at
tendants all work into a composite
picture which astounds the toiling
farmer of the west.
The truth is that the Senate bath
rooms are shabby affairs and that no
Senator who has passable accommo-
dations elsewhere ever thinks of pat
ronizing them, while those who hap
pen to have graduated from the House
invariably prefer the comfort and ele-
gance at the other end of the Capitol
to the la:k of tidiness and attention
at their own reservation.

to refuse. Very soon to be compelled
to notify this, she ordered her carriage

to take it in. A higher authority
