one OF the most striking Indications OF
Industrial Improvement IS The material
increase IN wages In numerous rnanufac-
turing establishments in different parts
OF the country. Il has been estimated
that the wages Of not less than 25oN0
wofkmen tn the United States have been
raised within the las. ninety DAYS. The
Chicago Tribune has made a careful IN
curry into the matter with the result Of
finding an advance averaging nearly -
Per cent
The most notfceabla increase has been
tn lines OF work closely associated with
IRE fron Industry. IN May last an aa-
vance OF about 10 yer cent. was allowed
the Pennsylvania coke workers. This was
quickly followed by voluntary advance
OF about the same amount bv the Carne-
sic company. and shortly afts~wa-d by
other PittShprg iron manufacturers. So

One Sol.
Whatcom Rayeille.


This Is one SOL" said the cashier Of the
Bennett bank yesterday. as he showed a
silver coin back to depositor. worth 46
cents"
The depositor was Indignant and said
he had taken 1t for a dollar that 1t was
as heavy as an American dollar, and that
it had the stamp Of the Peruvian govern
ment on 1t. He insisted that the difference
between the American stamp and the
Peruvian stamp ought not to be 81 cents.
President Mckenzie was called, and
said that the sol was supposed to be worth
81. %, or an eQuivalen of four English shil-
lings but as it was not redeemable in gold
it was worth only the price of bullion:
that the stamp did not help it any. unless
currency was scarce or at premium for
mercantile convenience.
A spectator remarked that the American
dollar would be in the same category as
soon as 1t was coined in unlimited quanti-
ties. and the treasurer refused to ex-
change 1t for gold-which remark was as
true as Holy Writ, and shows the in
evitable result Of free coinage. The free
silver people will not have silver re-
deemable in gold. but insist that 1t stand
up as noble metal. Independent of the
odious yellow dross.

Y,hsa. Baltimore ard Cincinnati especially,
having received material advances.
While there has been some slight In
crease of wages among the leather WORK
e-s and other trades, the marked inn
provemen- has been confined 10 the two
industries first named. and the advance
can hardly yet be called a general one.
The outlook IL full OF promise. however,
and there is every reason to believe that
the benefits Of returning prosperity VIII
be felt generally In all lines Of industry
and that the common news item OF the
next six months will be a notice OF an in
crease in wages in some branch OF busi-
ness
In many, II not most instances, the ad-
vance IN wages is but. a return TO the
scale existing before the hard times set
ting back to q normal condition OF things.
The experience through which the coun-
try is now passing is not unlike that OF
the year 1878. when the people were re-
covering from the effects OF the panic Of
1s7s. and just entering upon an era Of
prosperity and progress which for a de-
cads was unexampiea All the signs
point TO the approach of good times and
1t is to be hoped that they will prove
equally bright and certainly more lasting
than those which followed the revival OF

STREETS on THE TIDE FLATS.

SiREEIS On The TIDE FLATS.
There is no more important business
before the city council than the matter
or deciding whether or not any streets
across the tide fats shall be vacated
and. II any shall De, which of them. It
is a subject OF so much Importance that
elaboration Is desirable, but a mere fail
ure TO take any action is not elaboration.
The city some years ago extended its
upland streets over the tide lands for the
purpose OF enabling manufactures 20 be
established free from the fear Of having
to be removed by subsequent plating.
The tide hand appraisers in laying out
plat for the tide lands have disregarded
those lines IN many instances The re-
suit Is that the owners OF factories are
harassed by having two inconsistent
lines of streets; and some OF those In the
appraisers plat cut through buildings
already erected. II It proves to be for
the best interests of the city. those build
ings must be removed, but the uncer-
tainty is working an entirely unnecessary
hardship.
The difficulty confronting the council
may be illustrated by the case of Depot
street. Between the outer lines of that
street as produced the Lake Union sewer
tunnel runs. and It seems out OF the
question that the city should abandon
that street and accept the street out
lined by the tide land appraisers. This,
however. is an exceptional case, and It
Will probably need legislative action to
adjust the matter.
NO such obstacle stands in the way of
determining the lines OF most OF the
streets south of Yesler avenue. The only
oificulty in the way Is the mpossIbilsty
OF having all streets continued directly
eastward from the upland lines. But
while that method would look more gym
metrical on paper 1t is not necessity In
the interest of traffic. A wide avenue In
TO run north and south. so that there will,
be ample room to make the crossing d.

in crossing railroad tracks in that Wv

age for large vessels or even for the con-
struction of docks with enough adjacent
space on which to lay down spurs and
erect buildings.
Several important additions to the man.
ufacturing industries OF Seattle are await
ing settlement of these questions and the
city council should lose no time. Petitions
have been presented to the council that
the inconsistencies be adjusted. but thew
have been relegated to committees
which need. It seems. squirting I'D
TO prompter action. The great need
OF Seattle is the establishment of
industries in which labor can be
employed. and as everything points to
an early resumption OF activity in all
lines OF manufacture every inducemsnt
should be held out by the fixed detor-
mination of questions affecting title to
available sites

Edmonds Tyre: A number of papers
throughout the state have discovered that
the Populist legislators accepted and rode
on railroad passes, and they seem TO be
surprised about it. There is nothing sur
prising about that inasmuch as the Popu-
lists are inclined to believe that every
thing should be government free any
how.

Chehaiis Nugget: A free silver friend
assures us that the best times the coun-
try ever had were from the close of the
war to 1873 and he thinks they were due
to the fact that the silver dollar had not
yet been struck down." Possibly our
friend Is right, but he cannot show US the
connection between the cause and the al
legged effect. He ought TO know that
during the period he mentions this coun-
try had not single dollar of silver In cir
culation. At this time there are $500, 000.
600 OF silver in circulation. Now how is
he going to reconcile the facts with his
theory? sssr

Here's great note about two very in
teresting things-golf and monkeys. Ac-
cording to an English paper, lately re-
ceived, while pets are mostly kept for
the purpose Of merely being petted, now
and then they are taught to make them
selves useful. The latest instance Of the
useful pet, the journal states. is in the
case Of certain apes which have been
trained to act as caddies in the now
fashionable game of golf. The caddie is
indispensable to golf player, and Miss
Dent, whose brother, Lieutenant Dent,
of the United States Navy. has recently
returned to America from the China
station, has two Formosa apes which he
brought here, and which they have
traire ed to the business ofscaddiee. They
wear liveries of white duck, and each
has Turkish fez.
