GOOD ADVICE.
Sensible Words From the First Anne
rican Paper.

Cubans, says the Havana Advertiser,
who were citizens of the United States
before the struggle for liberation of
the island from the Spanish oppression
began, and who, during the revolution
were glad to have their persons and
property protected by a United States
passport, should not be the first to re-
sent as IAN unsolicited and arbitrary
intrusion" the temporary presence here
of the stars and stripes and the pro-
visional government it represents.
The Cubans who are so sensitive in
regard to not being assigned front pla-
ces in professions now were not so par
ticular about occupying front places
in the firing lines.

The fact that shipments of Goa
from this port show a grain of from
seven to ten thousand tons month
over the shipments OF the corresponds
ing period last year is highly encour-
aging. The shipments of coal from
Washington-which means Tacoma
and Seattle-to San Francisco during
the past week aggregated 1880 tons
against 9,769 from British Columbia
and $50 tons from Oregon. The de-
mand from San Francisco for our coal
is constantly increasing. and as the
Washington mines are capable of sup
plying the entire market of that city
without interfering with shipments to
other ports, and the additional advan-
age Of quality and cheapness of prod
uction will make this the principal
coal-produclng state for the markats
of the Pacific in the future.

For The Boys And Girls.

/ firmly believe that nine-tenths of
the unhappy marriages are the result
of green human calves being allowed
to run at large in society's pastures
without yoke on them. They marry
and have children before they have a
mustache. They are fathers of twins
before they are proprietors of two pairs
OF pants, and the little girls they marry
are old women before they are twenty
Occasionally one of these gosling mar
riages turns out alright, but it is a
clear case of luck. If there was law
against these galoots sparkling and
marrying before they cut all their teeth
wesuppose the little cusses would avoid
it in some way. But there ought to be
sentiment against it.. 1t is time en-
ough for these bantams to think offind-
ing a pullet when they have raised
enough money to buy bundle of laths
to build henhouse. But they see a
girl who looks cunning and they are
afraid there will not be enough girls to
go around. Then they speak real spry
and before they are aware of the sane
tlty of the marriage relation they are
hitched up for life, before they own a
cook stove or bedstead they have to
get up and 60 for the doctor, so fright
ened that they run themselves out of
breath and abuse the doctor because
he does not run too. And when the
doctor gets there there is not enough
linen in the house to wrap up-the

Taxing Medicine Vendors.


OLYMPIA, JUNE 28.-The superior court
OF Walla Walla county was to day af-
.firmed by the supreme court in the
case of the city Of ,Walla .Walla respon-
dent. vs.. James M. Ferdon, appellant.
The defendant was convicted of the
violation OF. city ordinance regulating
and licensing vendors of medicines,
drugs and nostrums and for which: he
failed to procure q. license, which was
taxed at $50 pei, day., The only ques-
ton, says the supreme. court, is to be
determined is the reasonableness of
the license demanded .-:by the city.
Counsel for appellant maintained that
the ordinance provides for the regula-
ton and license and not tax. On
this point the court states: While a
municipal corporation such as the
city of Walla Walla, may not arbitrar-
~ declare d lawful trade or business O.
nuisance, got the manner of conduct
ing it lna, he regulated and it may be
licensed when so regulated"

The Land A Citizen May Acquire.

Laws governing the settlement of
government lands have changed mat
erially within the past 10 years, but
they are still considered liberal, as they
permit an American citizen to take up
a whole section $40 acres at one time.
Although the pre- emption and timber
culture laws have been repealed, three
different rights still remain open to
the citizen which he can use in the
timbered districts, wherever public land
sufficient quantity remains open for
settlement. These rights are: The
homestead, 100 acres, the government
timbered right, and the school right,
$780, Under the homestead act, the
