VERY AMUSING, INDEED!

II Is reported from Washington city that
the Democratic senators consider "the sit
uatlon from political point OF view veiy
amusing" Yes; very amusing: while bust
ness Is everywhere crippled. while hun
dreds OF thousands OF people cannot earn
"A living: while our exports are decreasing
and our imports increasing: while the ex-
penses OF the government are greater than
the income by millions OF dollars a month.
and the country is going into debt at an
enormous rate. II Is very amusing. In
deed. 10 those Democratic patriots whom
a tidal wave sent 10 the senate!
This view OF 1t. as told by Washington
City correspondent, is thus explained:
'-rhe anti-ssGver Democrats In the senate
have refused to assist the Republicans to
recommit the revenue bill with its free
coinage substitute. and they consider the
situation from political point Of view very
amusing They say the president ala not
ask for moro revenue. and that the secre-
tary OF the treasury expressly said that
none was needed. therefore Il was en-
tsreiy unnecessary for the Republicans
TO pass bill increasing the duties on Inn
ported goods tn order 20 enlarge the re-
eelpts OF the government They say II was
only a political maneuver which the free
coinage men have checked. that the Re-
publ.cans are in hole. and they need not
expect The Democrats % help them out:
the president Is relieved Of The crnharrass-
msnt OF vetolng a revenue bin. ani that

There was no game put up. Every Re-
publican member % the senate knows that

probably four years old. and a child possi-
bly, eighteen months. The latter had evil

and was crying TO be carried. No atten-
ton was paid by the girl, except to occa-

she carried II across the street, afterward
compelling the little ore to walk all the

prevention OF cruelty to children, for am
not the only one who has seen acts of
cruelty perpetrated in the street cars by
mothers. which made the blood boil How
can any one be so heartless to those little
tender souls so lately from the hands OF

To the Editor: For the benefit of any
that are, or have been. skeptical about the
good results that will be derived from the
immigration convention held in the city
of Seattle, not yet month since. I VIII
say that the seed sown has terminated
as quickly as any ], ever sowed. Letters
are coming already from the far-off East.
IT have read your paper in the Post-Intelli-
gencer;" 'I have seen your letter In the
Post-Intelligencer::" at have read with
interest the Seattle papers containing the
proceedings of the immigration convention
held there" etc. Then follows q string
of questions. all Of which. as yet, I have
had no difficulty whatever in answering.
OF course these letters bear upon the sub
feet that my paper contained, viz: Horti-
culture and pomology. One party writes
me from Chicago that he has fully decided
TO come to Western Washington, and here
after to be known as a fruit grower on
Puget sound. He has more capital 70 bring
with him than majority of us had when
we came to the Sound ten or fifteen years
since.
understand that our county held a meet
ing and organized an immigration society.
