IT will be of interest to note what
sort of an argument the Democrats will
make to the people this year in support
Of their appeal to be again entrusted
with the reins of government, with the
unpleasant fact staring them III the
face that since they came into power in
1893 and enacted the Wilson tariff bill
the national revenues have lacked $50
600, 900 of being sufficient to meet ordi-
nary expenses, and the bonded debt
has been increased s27O, 0O0, 900, and the
governments yearly charge for interest
has been increased $i1 ,492,6l6 by the
Cleveland administration, an increase
of AZ per cent, for the whole interest
charge in 1893 was only $27, 264 1892, all
borrowed for the express purpose of
maintaining the gold reserve with
which to redeem legal tender notes and
keep them at par with gold. The re-
demption of the greenbacks and notes
presented at the treasury for payment
have created deficiencies which have
been met for the time being by re-issuing
the same greenbacks and notes and put
ting them in circulation as money.
Whenever this Is done the federal debt
isincreased and it would never be neces-
sary to do it fit were not for deficiency
Of revenue. Suppose farmer has mort
gage of 81, 900 ON his place and when it
becomes due he finds that he not only
has no money to pay it but that his re-
ceipts have lacked $500 of being suffici-
ent to meet his necessary expenses,
what does he do--if he can? If he has
sufficient security to offer he borrows
81 500 and pays his old debts and starts
in on "new DEAL" owing, however,
fifty per cent more than he did in the
first place. That is just the sort of
policy that the Democratic party has
been pursuing for the past three years,
and yet it has the assurance to ask to
be continued in power, and it's worthy
representatives will soon formulate an
other declaration of alleged principles
and turn horde of speakers loose to
travel about the country like so many
wolves in sleeps clothing, trying with
honeyed words and phrases to influence
the people: to follow along in the
modern Democratic way which leadeth
to destruction. But the people have
learned thing or two since the present
reformed" administration went into
power, and as a natural consequence
the missionaries of Democracy will not
meet with such cordial reception this
year as they did in 1892. Their party
has been weighed in the balance and
found wanting and the end of its power
is at hand.

The Cuban Question.

The Boston Herald-and Boston, by
the way, has very large trade with
Cuba-is of the opinion that "the
Cuban question is not SO thoroughly
simple a problem as to admit of no
qualification or condition. Most Ameri-
cans who have been in Cuba are OF the
opinion that the absolute independ-
ence of the island would be the worst
fate that could befall its people, and
that the anarchy which would then
intervene would make their state more
wretched than that which they en-
dured under Spanish tyranny; that
what they need is local self-control,
maintaining their allegiance to Spain.
This being the view taken by well i'll
formed persons, it is at least open to dis
cussion just what the policy of the
United States should be in its efforts to
benefit the Cubans, and indirectly to
maintain and improve its own trade.
The course of procedure to follow is an
intricate question, deserving the study
of statesmen, and an exposition on this
problem from a man ut Washington
City, who could properly fill the role
once played by John Quincy Adams
or Daniel Webster, would command
all over the United States"

The Worlds Telegraph Lines.

A German expert, after careful es-
innate, has announced that the total
length of telegraph lines in the world
is 1852, 700 miles, of which America
has 545, 800 miles; Europe. $50, 700; Asia,
81 400; Africa, 81 500, and Australia,
Al, 500 miles. The United States has a
greater length than any other country,
403, 800 miles, and Russia comes next,
although European Russia has only
81, 900 miles. The other countries fol-
low in this order; Germany, France,
Austria-Hungary, British India, Next
co, the United Kingdom, Canada, Italy,
Turkey, the Argentine Republic, Spain
and Chilli. In point of proportion,
however, Belgium leads, with 400 miles
of wire for every 1000 square miles cf
territory; Germany comes next, with
$50 miles; Holland is only slightly be-
hind Germany, and the United King
dom has $50 miles of telegraph for

THE Great Northern Railway Com
pany seems to be spelling for another
strike, for it has again "equalized" the
wages of its employees after its own Pc
culiar fashion, having apparently dis
covered that the said employees can OBJ
tain the bare necessaries Of life for
smaller sums than they have hitherto
been paid. This time the agents and
operators are the sufferers. On the
coast line three salaries were raised,
the total increase being $500 month,
while the total amount cut off is about
500 month. President Hill is Dem
ocrat and free trader and of course be-
lieves in cheap goods and cheap labor.

THE "Seattle spirit" Is manifested
again in subscriptions aggregate ng over
$500 a month for two months to aid the
state immigration movement. It would
be well for this county if little of the
same kind of spirit could be aroused
here-enough, at least, to arrange for
the compilation in compact and read
able form Of such reliable information
about the county as home seekers are
sure to want. We have mentioned this
matter before and it is not improbable
that we may do it again, even if there
isn't much encouragement in it. Very
likely the proper spirit is here but the
marked absence of any general mani
festation of it certainly leaves some
room for doubt as to its existence. We
would be glad to be able to do some
thing more than explain to bomeseek-
ers and the general public that the
county Ia not dead but sleeping.
