Cuban Tobacco.

The folly of biting off ones nose to
spite ones face has been the subject of
frequent comment. Nevertheless,
General Weyler, as proxy for Spain,
has ordered that no more Cuban to-
bacco shall be exported to the United
States until its citizens shall refrain
from expression of sympathy with
the patriots upon whom he is making
war, and whom he assassinates when
he catches them. At this rate the
embargo upon Cuban tobacco is likely
to be of long duration.
But who is to be hurt the most?
High grade cigars may "go up" in the
United States; but to some folk this
is matter of no Importance, to
others it is at most matter of inc0n-
venience. More cheap cigars may be
smoked for while; but it may be
that if the embargo remains in force
long enough United substitute for
Cuban tobacco may be found. This
country has a wonderful knack of pro-
ducing everything that it's inhabitants
really need. But with Spain il is diff
ferent. Spain needs money more
than she needs anything else, except
enlightenment. She has derived con-
siderable sums from duties levied upon
exports of tobacco. When no exports
are made she cannot levy duties upon
them.
We are inclined to believe that Gen.
erel Weyler will tire of playing at the
game of embargo before Uncle Sam
cries quits.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Secret of Happiness.

There is an old story about two
buckets that hung in the same we'll,
and passed each other many times q
day on their journey to and from the
depths. One day one of these asked
the other why it appeared so melan-
choly, and received this reply: "It is
because I cannot help rejecting how
discouraging it is that no matter how
full we come up, we always go back
empty" "Why," responded the first
bucket, "that is an odd way of looking
at it. For my part am always con-
graduating myself that no matter
how empty I go down, am always
sure to come back FULL" The moral
of this story is that our happiness is
not nearly SO dependent upon our out
ward fortune as we are apt to imagine.

Whatcom County Roads.

"Whatcom county, within the last
three years has constructed o system
of trunk lines from the county seat as
a starting point, which practically
makes the whole country tributary to
tide water. Most of these are complet-
ed and all will be, without doubt, by
July next. The cost of the roads is as
follows: Northwest diagonal, $23, ,682 {;
Guide meridian, $23, ,245; Northeast
diagonal, $22 400; Fairhaven, Samish
& Skagit border, $22,35O; Everson-
Goshen, SIT 900; Ferndale and Noun
tain View, $17, 900; Whatcom-Lummi,
$4,000; Six bridges, 100000; all at .
total cost of $1S7,337. Fifty miles of
good roads and durable bridges travers-
ing thousands of acres of the richest
farming land under the sunlight, with
one hundred miles of extensions, cross
roads, feeders and local links that will
practically be completed two years
hence. Thousands of twenty, forty,
sixty, eighty, and one hundred acre
tracts of land, directly accessible to
these good roads, are for sale, bidding
the immigrant come and till" The
large cost of road-making in Whatcom
county is caused by the low lands,
where it is necessary to lay planking.
Mason county can build roads for \
trifing expense, as little planking is re-
quired, and it can we'll afford TO put
all its roads in first class condition.
They should be cut out wider, however,
than is the custom.

Harry Wilson's views.

There have been many comments
by delegates and newspapers upon the
financial plank in the platform of the
republican party adopted at the Ever
EFT convention. Among them all the
Olympian has noticed none more con-
else and reasonable and withal more
just that of Henry L. Wilson of Spo-
kane says:
"The financial plank, in my judg-
ment, is not in harmony with the
views OF vast number of republicans
in the state of Washington. Neither
is it republican doctrine as I have
been taught to understand republican
doctrine. The doctrine of free coin
age can not be said to be republican
doctrine. Some republicans favor it
and some oppose it, and it has never
been sanctioned nor disapproved by
any national republican convention; ;
but concerning bimetalism-the use
of both gold and silver as standard
money-there can be no question that
it is pure and unadulterated republi-
can doctrine. The republican party,
from It's inception down to the present
day, has always declared for bimetal-
ism in it's national conventions. Alex
ander Hamilton whose teachings and
theories form the cornerstone of re-
publicanism, was bimetallist; Abra-
ham Lincoln was bimetallist; James
q. Blaine was bimetalist; Benjamin
Harrison was bimetallist; and Will
liam Mckinley is bimetallist. Bi-
metallism came to us with the consti-
tuition, and no declaration for a gold
standard has ever, so far as I know,
been counseled or urged by any re-
publican statesman in the United
States from 1856 to 1896. The Ever
ett convention might have declared
against free coinage, and yet made a
republican platform. 1 think the
platform adopted was mistake, but
l look to see change for the better in
our national platform and in the plat
form of the coming republican state
convention of Washington. My own
views are that the republican admins
tration which will be put into power
upon the 4th of March next will ad-
just and cure all the financial questions
which have disturbed the country
during the past four years, and bring
about sure and abiding prosperity.
Platforms and professions amount to
very little. Public policy and public
legislation amount to good deal."-

Status Of r. r. Delinquent Tax.

The following statement from Prose
cutting Attorney Bridges, will be OF
interest to the people OF the county
It was made in answer to the question
as to what had been done in connec-
ton with taxes against railroad prop
erty, which had not been paid:
"Some time ago I made application
to Judge Hanford for his permission
to obtain judgment for delinquent
taxes of 1892, assessed against railroad
lands in this county. He refused to
grant the PERMISSION. The receiver
has since answered the county's petl-
ton, defending against the taxes, on
round that at the time the assessment
was made the railroad had not receiv-
ed patents to the land, as we'll as other
grounds of minor Importance. The
taxes of 1891 on these lands stand IN
the same way. All these questions
are now being tested in the o. S
court"
It will be seen from the above thai
the question OF the liability OF the
railroad to pay on unpatented lands
| is in the way of being settled. The
case will be argued on demurrer next
month, and if decided for the county
the road will have to pay back taxes
against the county, then the case vii
have to be tried and testimony intro
duced. Vidette.

High Time for a Reduction.

The report of the interstate COM
merce commission for 1898, our poor
year, for the Spokane and Palouse rail-
road, with total length of less than
13O miles, shows the net earnings for
that year to have been $982,O90. This
was after the operating expenses and
interest charge of 6 per cent upon a
bonded Indebtedness of $4,000 mile
had been paid. Certainly the republi-
can party is interested in readjusting
rates which permit net earning OF
near ST. 100000 year by a property
costing only 100000 in its entirety,
fair interest upon the investment
having been paid as part of the oper-
ating expenses.-Colfax Gazette.

POpulists and Fusion.

TACOMA, May 21 There will be no
fusion between the Peoples party and
the Democracy in the fall campaign
In this state. This statement is made
on the authority of Mathew P. Bulger,
chairman of the Populist state central
committee. Mr.. Bulger has carefully
ascertained the sentiment on the fusion
question of the leading Populists
throughout the state, and he said to-
day to the Post-Intelligencer cores
pondent that they were againsta com
bination with the Democrats to man.
at the recent meeting of the mem
bers of the executive committee Of the
central committee in this city, fusion
scheme was exhaustively discussed.
This was not done in the meetings of
the committee, but in quiet confer
ences between the members. A prop
osition that was made some months
ago by the Democratic state committee
was considered informally, and none
of the committeeman present was in
clined to favor it.
Chairman Bulger said today: "The
only basis on which a combination
between the two could be effected
would be surrender by the Democrats
of the head of the ticket and virtual
Endorsement of the fundamental prin-
ciples of the Peoples party platform.
Either one or the other Of the two
parties must be practically forced to
the wall as regards the principles for
which it stands. I do not think the
Peoples party will ever reach such a
condition, and therefore I hold that if
the Democrats wish to combine with
US IN the fall campaign, they must
come into our camp, bag and baggage" !"
Mr.. Bulger admitted that the Demo
Gratis were casting sleeps eyes at the
Populists in the hope of carrying out
combination on the state ticket. This
arrangement includes the selection of
James Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, as
the standard bearer of the fusionists.
Chairman Bulger's personal opinion is
that the Peoples party would as soon
indorse the financial creed of Cleveland
and Carlisle as run Lewis for governor,
and this is one Of the contingencies
that the Populist state chairman
hardly believes will come to pass.
The utterances of "the first" Demo-
crat in the state" on the money ques-
ton and touching the beneficent ad-
ministration OF Grover Cleveland are
carefully treasured by Mr.. Bulger for
exhibition to his fellow Populists when
the right time comes.-P.-I.

The manufacture of the modern
bicycle presents one of the most COM
plex and delicate problems known to
mechanics. The reason is that what
scientists term the "factor of safety"
is lower in the bicycle than in almost
any other mechanical product. In
high pressure guns, for instance, the
factor of safety is even as great as
tweDty-that is, guns are made twenty
times as strong as is theoretically
necessary for the strain they are to
bear. In ordinary guns the factor OF
safety is twelve, in boilers it is about
six, in bridges usually five, and in al
most every other form of machine it is
at least four. Such wide margins OF
extra strength are deemed as an offset
to errors in theoretical computations
I or defect in material construction.
With the modern light construct ton
in bicycles it is reduced to very
small margin, being as low in instances
as 1.25. Such being the case, it can
be understood readily why the makers
of standard high-grade machines
maintain rigid system'of inspection.
In fact, every well-appointed bicycle
factory has a thoroughly equipped
testing department, in order that there
NAV be no miscalculations or guess
work ir the material entering the con-
struction of their wheels. Boston

finish up the appropriations, and that
adjournment will very quickly follow
as 1t has been in sort of tentative
way agreed to by both democratic and
republican steering committees that
no bills likely to start an extended de-
bate shall be taken up. That means
that nothing of Importance will be
touched after the appropriations are
out of the way.
