\ portion Of the report in Yesterdays
Post-Intellisencer Of the opening OF the
extension Il the railroad into Aberdeen is
calculated TO do the town more harm
than good. We refer to the statement
that NO laborer is idle, merchants report
business excellent" Aberdeen is just Il
little better than any other town OF its
size in the state. but she still has enough
idle men to do all the work there is to lie
had at present. Business is improving,
but it is lar from excellent, and money is
no more plentiful. VIVA! is needed now
is more industries and more men to open
up farms, and not more laborers.

Official Paper Of the City Of Aberdee,
A CITY CEMETERY.

Several years ago the question OF q
cemetery to be owned by the city was
agtated. and efforts made toward that
end but the boom values Of all land
within reasonable distance made it i'm
possible. The present is an oppor.une
time to secure small tract Of land for
that purpose, even ii the city is above its
limit OF Indebtedness. for never will
values be as low as they are today. Five
hundred dollars ought to secure enough
land for a city OF twenty thousand people,
and it seems that arrangements might be
made so that this city should become the
possessor OF such a tract. Ii this should
be utterly impracticable, the council
might grant certain rights TO a cemetery
company on condition that they pur-
chase and suitably plat ground for that
purpose, and sell lots at prices fixed by
the council. There is some talk OF the
various secret societies OF the city uniting
in the laying out oi cemetery. This
would be a good plan. and might be tie
most available solution OF the question.
a suitable place, with broad drives,
and with as much OF tine beauties OF
nature rs possible, in which to lay their
dead, is a duty that every community
owes to its citizens. \ place which is
the least suggestive OF the narrow box
in which is laid the form OF the loved
one, and to which those who are left be-
hind can go, and amid pleasant surround
ings assuage their grief by the grave OF
the departed; place with lots large and
roomy so that flowers and shrubs may be
planted, and seats placed, where quiet
hour may lie spent without treading upon
the graves OF others.
The question OF pricesi is another feature
that, while it is not Of the most import.
ance yet is 4 serious one to many. Nc
one should be compelled to either pay
an exorbitant price ior a two by six feet
piece OF ground, or bury his dead in q
neiehboring town. II is enough to bean
the sorrows OF death without submitting
to such eXactions. Again, these thing;
should not be left to the pleasure or the
greed OF any one man, but should be
regulated by the city council so as tC
bear as lightly as possible upon the reo
pie, and with the view OF not adding tc
the grief OF the sorrowing one.

England is either compelled TO give
up large amount OF the worlds trade
which she has heretofore controlled. or
increase the use OF silver in the world to
such an extent that it will not be posi-
BILE for her competitors to take advantage
OF the lower cost OF their labor growing
out OF the difference OF gold and silver. Ii
the silver men in the United States will
only let congress alone and leave the
matter to be worked out by the CONNER
cial profit and loss account OF Great
Britain, the latter nation will be COM
PEELED to join with Germany, France and
our own country in bringing about con-
dition OF things that will enable the
English people to meet the competition
OF other nations on something like an
equal footing. u. J. Hill.

On first thought it seems to be q
rather paradoxical statement that the
nearer we approach to the equator the
shorter is that intermediate stage or
transition from day to night and from
night to day, which we call twilight.
This being the case, however, the period
Of duration Of "the dim, uncertain
light" in all tropical countries is very
short when compared with that of coun.
tries Of high northern or southern lati.
tude The explanation is this: On the
equator the suns path is at exact right
angles with the horizon The last beam
Of light fades from view when tho sun
is at is degrees below the horizon.
This IS degree mark is quickly reached
at the equator for reasons given in the
first sentence Of this explanation. The
farther from the equator we get the less
become the angles which the suns
course makes with the horizon, and the
longer the time required for him to
reach the IS degree mark; hence the
longer the period of twilight st. Louis

The PostIntelligencer expresses salts
faction that If the American school book
trust is to supply this state with books It
will have to do so at Il price not to exceed
6693 per cent OF the present contract,
under the provisions Of the Pussy school
bill which became a law. We fear the
trust will refrain from bidding, thus leav-
ing no alternative but to use the present
series at whatever price the trust may
see fit TO make.

FUND THE DEBT.

Under the new law counties, cities
towns and school districts, when SO
authorized by three-tiftls vote OF the
people, can bond their outstanding in
debtedness when it does not exceed five
per cent. OF the valuation, at a rate not
to exceed six per cent. The same law
prohibits the officers from mourning ex-
penses exceeding the revenue. and
attaches a penalty There is therefore
no valid objection against the issuing OF
bonds to take up outstanding warrants.
In fact, there is much to gain by so do
ing, in the saving OF the difference in
interest between that which the warrant
bears and that OF the bond, as we'll as
the saving by being able to meet current
expenses with cash. The penalty re.
ieried to will act as 4 check against any
increase OF the debt.
We hope the proper officials will
promptly take the necessary steps under
the law to submit the question to the
people. that this city. school district and
county may be put upon an economical
cash basis.

THE ADDRESS OF WELCOME.

THE FIRST TRAIN.
The whistle SMILED.
And the band thrilled
The air with loud harmonious notes;
God stopped the rain,
In dashed the train
\ shout uprose from many Threats.
We know how much that shout expressed
OF triumph bent with brghting hope,
For we have proved what once we guess d ,
That We with hindrances can cope.
Our hearts We're pulsing with goodwill
None stayed to ask who's my neigh
horH"
Each fear each naughty thought was still
While sharing the reward Of labor
Oh, every eye had loyal look,
And every voice had loyal ring,
And ever, hand that we grasped and
shook
With neighborly kindness seemed to
cling.
It's well, while thus we can unite
As brothers in common cause.
Til at the top our name We write.
Nor Time nor Fate shall bid lis pause.
Thus shall it stand that all may read,
pride OF Chehals, Aberdeen.'
And Fate shall set this seal,
God Speed
And Time shall write
The lIarbor Queen
sons OF our city, It's with YOU
The name we boast to make or mar;
Bc to your trust forever true
And keep it glowing as star.

the family increased in size and numbers
and fathers salary would not grow in the

to cut down some of the avenues of ex.

that Of the shoe bill for the family. Said
he, III be the cobbler when any shoes

and asked TO explain. Shaking like a
