A Logging Catastrophe.

A remarkable runaway occurred at
Moore & Rice's logging camp at the
head of Lake Whatcom Tuesday after
noon. Six horses and three yokes of
oxen were hitched to large log on a
downhill pull, the horses in the lead.
The driver dropped the lines a mo-
ment in order to arrange the oxen in
order; as soon as he dropped the lines
the horses became frightened and
dashed forward, breaking the log chain
just behind the lead yoke of oxen.
The horses plunged down the hill at a
terrific rate of speed; one of the oxen
was literally dragged to death over the
down timber, skids and trees; finally
the yoke and chains became '.snubbed"
about a stump bringing the charging
horses to an abrupt halt, breaking the
neck of the other OK. The OK that
was dragged was crushed to mass of
broken bones, and the other OK was
also terribly mutilated. Neither of
horses was seriously injured and no
other damage was done. Bob Truman
who was in the city from the camp
yesterday, describes the runaway as a
most remarkable performance and a
frightful scene.-Whatcom Blade.

To THE merchant, the manufacturer,
the farmer, the coal miner, the lum-
herman and the mechanic, the cues
ton in the coming campaign is not
that of gold, silver, or paper. but tariff.
Right here on Puget Sound, under the
present tariff rates on lumber, coal and
agricultural products, we cannot COM
pete with Canada. II the lumbermen
of Puget Sound combined now to raise
the price of lumber to an actual living
price, sufficient to keep their plants In
operation and leave a margin with
which to pay their debts, the products
of Canada would be shipped into the
United States for the benefit of the
middle man. The lumbermen of the
west dare not insist on raise under
the existing conditions. Last year
several farmers near Yakima held their
potatoes until price that would pay
for the digging of them could be re-
ceived. While they were waiting for
higher prices, potatoes were shipped in
from Canada, and they were compelled
to sell their potatoes for whatever the
middle man chose to give. He simply
held the Canada whip over them.
These men are not talking silver.
They are waiting for chance to vote
on the tariff Observation-Disclosures

The Deficit Growing.

WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. Ia com
parative statement OF government re-
ceipts and expenditures issued by the
treasury department shows the total
receipts from all sources during July
to have been $29, O29, 2O9; expenditures
$42, O88, 458, leaving the deficit for the
month and the fiscal year thus fal
$13,O59, 24O.
The internal revenue receipts dur
ing the month were $l4 1902 ,532, an in
crease of $1,4O4,117 over the first
month of the last fiscal year. On the
other hand, the customs receipts,
which were $12, l57 $3.50, showed a fall
ing off of $1,919,654 compared with
July of last year. The miscellaneous
receipts, which were So, 569, 346. show
ed an increase of $479,O3S over the
month for the last fiscal year. All but
two items of the expenditures and in
terest charges show decided increase
over July, 1895, the heaviest being un-
der the head of the civil and miscel-
laneOus expenditures, which were $12,-
343, 800, as against $10,047 $50 in the
corresponding month a year ago
Part of the comparatively large de-
fciency is also accounted for By the
/ increase of expenditures Oh account Of
the navy from $2,2SO, 1856 in July, 1895
to $3,756, $50 last month. There is a
slight increase of about quarter of a
million each for pensions and Indians
over July of last year.

SOME people contend that the trouble
with this state is that it has borrowed
too much money, and is kept poor in
paying interest. Not 80, but we have
squandered too much money in ways
that bring no returns now. The state
being new, had no capital of its own
and outside means were necessary for
its industrial and commercial develop
ment. The era of good times and the
phlethora of money, made many
otherwise conservative people, very
careless in their expenditures, and
this led to the present difficulties.
Left to their own resources every city
and county in the state would be little
better than a wilderness. New and
progressive people and outside capital
have made this state what it is, and it
is rapidly becoming self-supporting.
The present democratic administra-
ton has operated in various ways to
hold good times back. When a man
has gone "daft" on proposition he
should not complain, if the awaken
ing be rude. Let us be consistent, if
more money is not good thing for
Washington, let us stop bowling for
capital to come in. Let us rest and

We would suggest to "free silver re-
publicans" that the democrat and
populist parties are along those lines,
and it might look better, if it's mat
ter of principle at stake, to join the
ranks of either, as fancy may dictate.
Of course that would not suit the
bell-wether, even if the other parties
would take him in, as there would be
| no flock to trade off.
PoPUusTs in Snohomish county are
on their dignity. At recent conven-
ton their badges had this inscription,
"No fusion here" The democrats
soon had the following Haunting in the
faces of the populists: "Who in hill
asked you to fuse" and the deal was
declared off.

"Foghorn" Todd and his guber ma

vention in Seattle, and Todd is to have

The Republicans of Mason County
can have no complaint at the organi-
cation of the "free silver republicans"
unless it be because of their use of
the term republican" The party has
lost none of its supporters in this
county, so far as we can observe, and
will lose very few votes this fall, if the
schemes of the new "leaders" are car
ried out. Very few people care to
have anything to do with them. All
they want is the joint senatorship, the
superior judgeship, represen alive, and
few county offices-and to work on
the free silver people is their only
hope.

Now and then, says the Inter Ocean,
people inherit money; a few steal
money-but the great bulk of the race
toll for their money. That govern
ment is wise which exerts itself to open
up avenues in which the multitude of
laborers can be proftably employed.
The busiest people are the happiest.
The idle nation, whether from choice
or enforced from finding nothing to
do, is ripe for mischief and evil. The
