cessions continually made to them, the
special favor always shown them, the
anxiety displayed to concliate them Our
friends across the water say that they are
treated as superior beings; that what we
call our appreciation of them is little less
than worship that it Injuries us as well as
them; that it will, in time, injure both
irreparably. They are in dead earnest, and
seem to be deeply troubled that we do not
establish much-needed reform.
Europeans base their idea Of our treat
ment of our women on their treatment of
their women. Between the New World
and the Old World there is, in this respect,
a marked difference certainly. Their view
is one of comparison. If they are right,
we must be wrong. We are entirely con-
sciouS of the great consideration we give
women, of the Difference we pay them. We
do not regard ourselves Us in excess, but
the Europeans as deficient in this regard.
They should initiate our example, we hold,
not we theirs, to our mind, would he re-
Progressive. We are panied, when abroad
at the degradation of the sex in the rural
regions; at their lack of education and
opportunity; at the manner in which they
are kept down. The old World seems to
consider women inferior; its conduct
toward them indicates this; and many
foreigners avow it, and insist on it. We
put women on our level, and do the best
we can to make them comfortable, indie
pendent, and csutcnted.

UnWarranted Interference.

The pope of Rome has issued an
edict commanding all Catholic Odd
Fellows, Pythians and Good Templars,
to either get out of these organizations
or fall back from the sacramental
board. A short time ago similar
edict was launched against those Cath
Olics who were members of the Masonic
order. 1t remains to be seen whether
the Catholic members of the societies
mentioned in this country are indie
pendent, self-respecling men, or are
to lay aside personal liberty at the be-
hest OF person who knows no more
about the morality, philanthropy, and
christianity of the orders against which
his pronunciamento is directed, than
the majority of people know about the
secrets of the papist confessional.
Such an order directed against the
freedom and intelligence of American
citizens bya fore ign church potentate,
Is an insult that no self-respecting
Catholic even should tolerate. It is
just such intolerant foolishness as this
that makes reasonable excuse for the
existence of such organizations as the
Protective Association

A New and Novel Enterprise.

In few days articles incorporating
the Teredo Extrmniating company will
be filed at Olympia, with a heavy capt.
tai backed by expressions we'll known
This company has patented process
for protecting piles and timbers from
the destructive teredo. The works of
of the company will be located on
Puget Sound in Briggs bay. The
plans are already drawn, the machin-
cry ordered and the work will be in
augurated not later than January /.
The plan adopted was suggested by an
eminent chemist, highly recommended
by the Stewart & Holmes Drug COM
pany of Seattle. The peculiar drastic
properties of the Burberry or Chittum-
wood of this state has long been known
to the medical fraternity, and extract
made from it forms the basis of we'll
known remedies. The new company
proposes to send men into the woods
to gather the bark, and then it will be
brought by rail, wagon and boat to the
works. Here immense boilers will be
run night and day, making a strong
extract from the bark, which the piles
will be immersed. They will remain
in this solution about thirty days,
after that they will be thoroughly
soaked full of the extract and ready
for use. They will have bitter taste,
which will have tendency to keep
off the teredo, but should any eat into
these piles they will be physicked to
death.-West Coast Lumberman.

The Aberdeen Herald prints the
following from which it might appear,
that the Port Blakely Company were
inclined to place themselves in posi-
ton to compete for the eastern trade
"The report that the Blakely mill
company would build a mill here is
not credited by some. But why
should they not? It is business
proposition. They already have a
railroad on the Satsop, and have tim
Der tributary to the harbor. Their
present mill is located on All island
eleven miles from Seattle. To COM
pete with other mills for the rail trade
they must get mill on land. What
more natural than they should come
to Aberdeen where they have the
same east bound rates as the Sound,
and can also manufacture lumber for
one dollar per Thousand less"
While it would be good business
move to locate big mill 80 that trans
continental rain service. could be had,
it is hardly probable that the COM
pany even contemplates the erection
of Z big mill on Gray's Harbor. Such
a plant could be located on deep
water at New Kamilche, the terminus
OF the present railroad owned by that
Company, and be in position to ham
die both eastern and coast wise trade.
without the expense of log towage.
Without the construction of any new
railroad, mills SO located would have
tlrect connection with the Northern
Pacific, for shipment of lumber to
any point in the Eastern states. We
rope the mill will be assured.

The Financial Situation.

alt would be useless to contend that
business has been prosperous in this
country, for the contrary is well
known to have been the fact. But it
is proper to assert that the depression
has come through no fault of our
own, but through the misfortunes of
other people. Our products have been
low in price because the necessity of
the foreigner has compelled him to do
without them. We produce more
than can be consumed at home, and it
is the surplus which fixes the price of
the product.
"While all this has been happening,
this country has maintained its gold
basis, and we have the assurance in
congressional enactment that the in
tention is that it shall do so for all
time.
"Monev was never more plentiful at
the financial centers of the world than
today, and it only awaits the full re-
turn of confidence. When that
comes, substantial and safe invest
ments will be sought with all the
eagerness of former times. More dis
elimination will probably be exercise d
in selecting investments so that it
behooves the managers of the Ameri-
can railways to put their houses in
order. This country has been through
great strain, and it has stood it bet
ter than any other nation. There
have been, of course. defaults and
bankruptcies; but good progress is
being made in the rebuilding process
and in almost all cases reorganization
has placed properties which were weak
on a substantial basis. "-Walter H
Barrett, in the Magazine of Travel fol

The Administration and Pensioners.

ABOUT q week ago an old gentleman
from Lewis county appeared before the
local board of pension examiners by
order OF the pension department for re-
animation. Besides being we'll adyan-
ed in years he was cripple, being
scarcely able to walk with the aid Of
canes; was totally deaf in one ear and
could hardly hear out of the other !.
was almost blind and could be said ia
be total physical wreck. As remark
able as it may seem, this was the 18th
time he had been ordered re-examined
He is drawing twelve dollars q month
pension, and the idea seems to have
zen to deprive him of even this paltry
sum if possible.-Montesano Vidette.

An Important Timber Deal.

]. d. Riley who returned from Sea,
tie, Tuesday reports deal transacted
by which nearly all the timber holdings
of B. B. Healey lying around and near
lake Newatzel, to Sol. G. Simpson and
the Port Blakely Mill Co., comprising
nine sections of timber land. While
this to some extent will cut off the sup
ply of the Washington Southern Rail
road, it will undoubtedly effect a con-
nection between the w. S. and the P.
>. q q. H. railroads, and let Sol. G..
Simpson into Shelton, which is greatly
to be desired by the people. It is very
likely that the complications of the
former railroad company will be speed
lily settled, and the plant will probably
be turned into the control of Mr.. Simr-
son and the Blakely company, espec
ally DIS they lost their machine shop>
round house, store building and othe
improvements at New Kamilche BY
fire last year, and have never rebuilt
The improvements of the Washington
Southern at this place are all tina,
could be desired and in the hands o.
enterprising people with means to ge
| ahead, this means great deal to Shell
ton. The contamination of this deal
practically secures the handling of ex
tensive holdings of the Pennsylvania
Syndicate beyond the lake. Even
with the connection of the two rail-
roads, most of this timber will come
out this way, especially as the Blakely
company is already buying most of
these logs and they consider it cheaper
to haul their logs than to purchase
of the leggers.
This deal cam have no other effect
than for the good of Shelton. AS the
w. has been under the control of
Receivers for the past two years, not
much has been done, except in the
way of hauling the product of the log
gers. Under the control of Mr.. Si,np-
son, and free from incumbrance, the
Washington Southern will soon be
doing the extensive business of four
and five years ago-a1l of which we
| are prepared to welcome.

The Citizens Tax Relief associa-
ton, an organization in Thurston
county, has drafted several bills for
introduction to the coming legisla-
ture. One of the bills is for the: re-
mission of all costs, penalties and in
terest ON delinquent taxes and to re-
NIT ten per cent of the taxes of 1894,
and also to make warrants receivable
for such taxes; another is to make
warrants non-interest bearing; another
to limit the levy of all taxes, except
for state and public debt purposes, to
123 mills on the dollar of assessed
valuation, and giving county commits
sions power to enforce the provisions
thereof.
It is very essential for the welfare
of the people that people that public
business be placed on the economical
basis as quickly as possible, but it
should be done in systematic and
business-like way. 1t goes without
saying that business must be con-
Quoted hereafter on q different scale.
and on the basis of real values, and
actual worth. We must cut down the
scale to suit the existing conditions.
It would be fine stroke in aid of
large proportion of the people, If all
costs, penalties and interest on pro-
perty. for delinquent taxes, were re-
moved. But it would be an injustice
to many other people who paid their
taxes before delinquency at great per-
sonal inconvenience. It would OH the
other hand enable delinquents to pay
their taxes sooner than they other
wise could, and the county would
have the funds for use. While delin-
Quent penalties might be RENTED for
certain period, it would be bad
policy to do away with penalties
altogether, although they should be
less severe than under the existing
laws.
It seems to us that state, county
and municipal warrants should draw
the legal rate of interest. just as all
other certificates of Indebtedness do,
and it might be we'll to have them re-
ceivable for taxes. This, however,
might conflict with tax levels more or
less, where warrants were outstand-
ing, and cause the cash receipts for
taxes to fall short of the estimates to
carry ON business. Under the fund
ing provisions. however, this could be
regulated where many warrants were
unpaid.
The act for limiting taxation would
force general cut all along the line
Of public expenditures, but with it
must be changes in all the e1istin 6
laws, which call for unnecessary ex-
penditures, the doing away with red
tape systems, and simplifying the
methods of public records. Public
salaries could also be reduced in many
instances, and more direct laws re-
garding the collection of fees by
salaried officers and turning them into
the funds to reimburse for the salaries
paid out. BY proper laws nearly every
county office can be made seli-support-
ing.
