always busy and are engaged in more dif-
ferent lines of business and more different
industries than those of almost any other
state. it is We. land Of waiting oppor-
tunities Great areas are growing wheat.
but greater areas Of equally good land are
lying idle: there are thousands OF acres
of orchards, but ten times as many acres
might be made just as fruitful; there are
many large coal mines. but they have only
made a beginning a. developing the coal
deposits of the state: there are good
number of good metal mines. but the min
ing industry is only in its infancy in view
of its possibilities: there are hundreds Of
lumber mills but ntarly all Of their prod

SEATTLE. SATURDAY. JUNE ~.


The Post-1nteliigencer appears to have
started q general newspaper discussion
throughout the state az to bosses. and
we are not astonished to find our Popu-
list contemporaries asserting that boss
e. and boss-ship are the special posses-
sion Of the Republican party. The facts
are that bosses are peculiar TO no party.
with them parties and party machinery
are only q means 20 an end. and neither
Republicans. Democrats nor Popuiists
have been able 10 escape their domina-
ton nor the stigma and edinm IL carries
with II. The prominence and influence
Of the boss within his own city or state
depends largely upon the power and

OF his control rests both upon his skill

services and success. and upon the pa

the nature of the Issues to be decided

The Republicans have their Platts.

politicians who have been east out by
both Republicans and Democrats and

OF reformers. and they have done al
most as much mischief TO their new
party as the growing public perception

course Of reasoning. his conclusion is
that the var could not have been avoid
ed. and since it was inevitable the soon
er IL came the better Since Buchanans
time it has been the policy OF the United
States 10 free the people Of Cuba. spain
has been disturbing our peace and In
terfering with our commerce. spain
has offered as great commercial advan-
tages IL we would guarantee her SOW
ereignty by treaty. but We refused to
do so. Twice Spain and France have
approached US with view 10 obtain
guarantee of SPANS control In Cuba,
but We would not assent. Spain had to
choose between giving up Cuba and
fighting the United States, and If she
had given up Cuba without fight there
would have been revolution in which
the present dynasty would have been
overthrow.
Mr.. Cleveland made the mistake OF
supposing that Spain could settle the
Cuban question by granting autonomy
to the Cubans. Mr.. Mckinley inherited
that policy, and he gave it a fair trial,
but that trial showed how hopeless 1t
was and how inevitable was the con-
fiiet. Mr.. Foster says:
I'VE had no right to expect the Cuban
people 10 accept autonomy from spain.
Suppose that In us. when the heroes OK
the revolution rad been battling for indie
pendeuce for three years, and after they
had beaten Burgoyne Lord North had
said: We wers mistaken. We win grant
you representation In parliament and

nothing in our promises to prevent our

II is gratifying to be permitted to be-
lieye upon so excellent an authority that
the diplomacy OF the United States
equals the record of any OF the nations
of Europe. He refers with pride to the
fact that after the Revolutionary war,
in the negotiations over the treaty of
1914, Lord Wellington admitted on Its
adoption that it was a triumph OF di-
plomacy on cur part. During the civil
war we were most ably represented in
diplomacy by Mr.. Seward in the cabinet
and by Mr.. Adams in London: and it is
acknowledged that in the treaty Of 1883.
out of which grew the Geneva conven-
ton. We gained distinct advantage.
The United States as nation has al
ways proved equal to the occasion, and
in this new departure from the tradi-
tons Of the past we need not lose conf
dence that its craftsmanship will deal
intelligently and successfully with the
new responsibilities our growing import
ance imposes upon US.

STOCKS UNSETTLED BY
FALSE PRESS REPORTS
Prices Upset by Yesterday's Mnnipu-

Early Dealings.

New York, Nov. 22.-The stock market
opening was virtually readjustment of
values TO the level which was disturbed
yesterday by the false Associated Press
report that the Spanish government had
terminated the peace negotiations with
the United States. First prices were l
per cent and over above last nights close,
and some fractional gains followed.
There was no special feature to the
dealings except the strength of North
west, Manhattan, Atchison preferred and
Peoples Gas and the weakness in the
Northern Pacific London houses sold, but
commission house business was good.
There We're general recessions after the
first fifteen minutes of dealings and there
was more or less anxiety as 10 the course
the peace negotiations at Paris would
take.
Government bonds were unchanged.
