One of the coast exchanges is respon-
sible for the statement that fifteen
thousand people gathered on the wharf
at Seattle when the first steamer of the
new japanese line arrived. 1t is said
the people assembled to welcome the
Miike-Maru ''as harbinger of increas-
ed commercial prosperity for the city. :"
This is all very well, but the good citi
zens of Seattle must necessarily feel
some chagrin that with the wonderful
resources of the United States they are
obliged to look TO Japan for harbingers
of prosperity. The American people
ought TO be ashamed of themselves
that the time has come when the Jap
anese are giving them lessons in pro-
gress. When the little brown men"
get their fingers we'll clinched about
the carrying trade of the Pacific, these
enthusiasts of Seattle and other cities
of the Western Coast Will begin to
wake up and wonder why they didn't
take the initiative and seek to gain
foothold before it was too late.

big joke If there is one place on the

If the reported order Of the Cuban
Provisional government TO enter upon

SPANS 10000 troops will hardly be
able TO stand the pressure and the true
horror of Cuban warfare has yet TO be

10 the possibility of Cuba figuring in

however, nothing can bring victory
more quickly than devastating the
country and requiring the Spaniards

THE "sILvER CRAZE. .

Rev. DR.. Bishop takes exception to
the expression silver craze" used by
this paper, but we still fail to see what
better expression can be found with
which to clothe the description of the
present situation in the United States.
Seldom, if ever, in the history of the
American Union has a political issue
sprung into being with such wild and
sweeping force as did the silver ques-
ton and never have so many people
apparently held the opinion that silver
and silver alone viii carry the coun-
try out of the slough of depression.
They have seemingly cast aside all
other questions of State and kept their
attention centered on the bright and
shining silver dollar. The present
condition is something like the tariff
craze that swept over the United
States in 1892 and in 1894 swept it
again in the other direction.
That the silver craze" should in
dictate political immortality we have
never contended, for we recognize as
DR.. Bishop states, that the advocates
of free silver are as honest in their
opinions.as the followers of the sound
money principles. We do believe how
ever, that there has been a disposition
20 play upon the excited condition of
the people and make political capital
out of the readiness of the unemployed
masses to grasp at any new scheme
which may improve their condition
This was more apparent however at
the opening of the campaign than at
present, when the people have steadied
down after the first furry to a calm
study of the situation. Political par
ties too often go upon the principle
that all is fair in political warfare
and the candidates lend their ener-
gies TO a system of campaigning

would not allow themselves to be
party to. One party is just as bad as
the other on this point.
We have yet to hear the bimetallist
called an idiot and it is safe to say
that the single standard statesmen in
the United States are decidedly in the
minority. The fight in the present
campaign is upon the ACCESSIBILITY of
Withdrawing from the circle of the
great commercial nations and starting
OFF on tangent so to speak, which if
accomplished would cause a serious
financial panic in the country with
which the commercial and financial
interests OF Hawaii are so closely allied.
Our. principal difference with Dr. Bis
hop must be then in the Interpretation
of the word craze" and taking it in the
common acceptance of the term as
applied TO politics We cannot see our
way clear TO plead guilty to the charge
of denouncing the silver advocates as
immoral

THE POLITICAL DRAMA.

| The Vermont State election and the
gathering of the National Democrats at
Indianapolis are the leading features
of the political drama in the United
States since the last mail. The Re-
publicans are naturally hilarious over
the returns from Vermont, since the
majority by which the State ticket was
elected was several thousand above the
calculations of the most enthusiastic
prophet Both Democrats and Popu-
lists suffered losses, which shows that
the silver sentiment is at a very low
ebb in this State, which is distinctly
State ruled by the farmers. The re-
turns demonstrate that the educational
campaign of the Mckinley forces has
been successful in one section.
The Democratic leaders are not given
to explaining the result on any other
grounds than. that it is an example of
the power of Committeeman Hanna's
political machinery. The San Francis
co Examiner says of the facts and fig
ures produced by the voters OF YER
mont: Their portent is not to be gain
said. Explanation of them only makes
more clear the duty of every Bryan
supporter. -
THE vital lesson of the Vermont
election is the evidence it gives of the
resourcefulness of the Republican ma
ional machine No point is too small
for it to cover, no task too great for its
capacity Its means are ample, and its
confidence, as is usual with the bearers
of full purses, unbounded The Demo-
Gratis, unable for lack OF the sinews of
war to meet the enemy at every point,
must pick the States in which the bat
tie can be fought with the least ammu-
milton, and deliver their attacks there
Vermont was not one of these States
Maine, which votes four days hence, is
not. But from the returns in these in
variably Republican States, Democrats
may gain some idea of how fierce is the
contest they have invited
Let US not underestimate the signifi-
canoe of Vermont's election. 1t is two
fold. 1t indicates surprising Republi-
can activity and entire absence of Dem
ocratic effort"
But even Vermont's big majority has
by no means wrought a panic in the
silver ranks. Already the results of
Candidate Bryan's tour through New
York State are beginning to count for
silver, it now being claimed that the
Empire State, where Republican ma
jority OF 100000 seemed a sure thing,
has been turned to the doubtful col
umn and it is by no means a foregone
conclusion that the much coveted thir-
ty-six electoral votes will be secured
for Mckinley.
The gathering at Indianapolis is
made up of the old line, conservative
/ Democracy 1t is distinctly a Cleve-
land convention and the power which
/ its candidates will exert cannot
be overestimated. The presence Of
such were as Ex-Governor Flower of
New York, Senator Caffery of Louisi-
ana, Fairchild, Watterson, Cultivate,
Bynum, Hopkins, Villas and Dr. Ever
EFT, all men of recognized ability who
have strong following, proves beyond
question that the third party will not
be weakling.

The local physicians remarks on the
treatment of unfortunates on the verge
of insanity make a strong argument
for an institution bordering on the
national sanitarium idea, which is by
no means a bad one It is rather I'M
usual for the Government TO 60 into
the sanitarium business, yet there
ought TO be some place outside the

7 sort of a collectors paradise it is hard
ly wise to express such opinions in
/ this country, and in fact we are of the
/ opinion that the intensely practical
being is far from right in his criticism
of the collector who occupies his spare
time and possibly spare cash in chas-
ing after bugs, gathering peculiar and
rare flowers, and searching for postage
stamps and coins of ancient and mo-
dern date.
In the recent number of the Book
Review E. B. Titcherner makes a plea
t for the collector in which he tells his
fellowcraftsmen that they have rea-
son to feel they are indeed little above
the individual who pegs along in the
routine paths and finds no pleasant
side line with which to increase his
| fund of information and give his mind
recreation from the usual grind of
OooAhOoo vi plOlCSSlOAdl lll0. nc DC-
lieves that hobby is a good thing
since it is always interesting and
comes in to fill up the gap when all
other affairs seem through constant
and unrelenting application, to have
dropped below the level of being worth
the struggle. Besides this it is sug
gested that the collector is kept out of
mischief and with the youth especially
he has less money for deleterious
gums drops, gun powder, cigars and
ruby-hearted wine.
His best argument for the youth,
however is found in the methodical
care which the collector must exercise
whatever branch he may take up. AS
Mr.. Titcherner says, the collector lis
accustomed to handle beautiful and
fragile things; he knows how to
arrange them duly and in order; he
may be trusted by his fellow. He does
not seize rare copper between two
perspiring fingers, or plant a heavy
thumb in the lower right-hand corner
of rare print. Careful and systema-
tic in one matter, he is appreciate of
care and system in all; and though he
may think his majolica stands as high
above your air-blown caterpillars as
Ossa stands above the sea, he will do
those delicate larvae no injury by
reckless jar or inquisitive touch.
Then again the collector obtains a
fund of information regarding subjects
which he would not, under ordinary
circumstances, take the trouble to in
quire into. Even the collector of post
age stamps can gain any amount OF
curious and interesting information in
political history and geography which
if he undertook to follow up in books
would make him tired before he be-
gan. Little points are picked up here
and there which gradually accumulate
into good knowledge and better ac-
quaintance with many of the out-of-
the-way places OF the world, which in
these days are always cropping up with
new prominence. These remarks ap-
ply, however, to the true collector, the
man to whom the distinguishing marks
represent something more than value
in dollars and cents. Collecting actu-
ated by the miser's greed puts the
collector on about the same plane as
the rag picker. Reading and study
should always be an accompaniment
of the collectors work, and the rari-
ties of which he gains possessions
should have value of association and
investigation rather than the value
represented by what they will bring in
the market.
