NEWCOMERS WHO ARE WELCOME

The reports showing that there is a
ing this state by men who will develop
it's resources are of greater interest by
far than the news that capital is seek
ing investment In city property. The
latter is the result; the former Is the
cause.
Unless the state of Washington
showed signs of substantial and rapid
development men would not be seeking
to buy town property. Capital is not
ed to create new means Of increasing
wealth; to turn raw material into sale
able products to take out of the earth
the riches possessed by the state and
spread them abroad among an increas-
ing and prospecting population.
This will be accomplished by the class
of men who are now seeking to take
advantage of home seekers rates. One
of the agents of the Northern Pacific
generally, in the past, has sought homes
In the new West the people who are
going to Washington are ''of the better
class" and well provided with money.
He says that next year will see the
establishment of many new towns in
the far Northwest, and several substan-
tial manufacturing industries will also
be started.
1t is not so much a matter of import
ance that the new corners belong to

Some of Senator Hoar's friends who do
not sympathize with his views on national
expansion are charging him with inconsis-
tency, and in support of the charge have
resurrected a speech made by him In 1895
at Plymouth Rock on the occasion of the
anniversary of the Mayfower's landing, in
the course Of which he said:
''The sons of the pilgrim have crossed
the Mississippi and possess the shore of
the Pacific. The tree our fathers set COW
cred at first little space by the seaside
1t has planted its banyan branches in the
ground. 1t has spread along the lakes. 1t
has girdled the gulf. 1t has spanned the
Mississippi. 1t has covered the prairie and
the plain. The sweep of its lofty arches
rises over the Rocky mountains and the
Cascades and the Nevadas. Its hardy
growth shelters the frozen region of the
Northwest. Its boughs hang over the Pa
cific. And in time-in good time-it will
send its roots beneath the waves and re-
ceive the isles of the sea-"
Mr.. Hoar was a true prophet. Within
less than three years time after these pa
triotic words were uttered the boughs of
the banyan tree hung over the Pacific and
it's tendrils took root, but who would sup
pose that Mr.. Hoar would raise such a
tremendous protest against its acting ex-
actly as he predicted?

1t is somewhat late to mention the cele-
bration of the Fourth of July by the resi-
dents Of Guam but correspondent for an
Eastern exchange furnishes an amusing
account Of the festivities which took place
on that occasion. The natives were ex-
tremely DESTROYS Of fittingly observing the
day and asked ell sorts Of questions about

ed In the United States. OF course pro-
cessicn, with a goddess Of liberty, was the
principal feature, but when four chocolate
coored beauties insisted on taking the part
were only solved by loading all four in an
OK cart and presenting the somewhat novel
spectacle Of four goddesses of liberty in a
bunch. In the midst OF the progress Of tho
unique procession dissension arose among
the occupants of the OK cart and liberty
was making a shocking spectacle of herself
when, fortunately. a wheel Of the vehicle
came Off ending very lively scrap and
this feature of the display was abandoned

they kept on firing their old Spanish
smooth-bore cannon until all the powder OBJ
tainable was exhausted. Patriotic speeches
were made and the whole population enjoy

mously agreed to petition congress to d.
rect that hereafter the Fourth Of July be
celebrated monthly in Guam.

In new territory are usually people of
good character and steady habits. They
often have to travel In the cheapest
way and to put UP with very humble
dwellings on their uncleared land. but
they make good neighbors and reliable
citizens. The scum usually finds Its
way to the cities.

age for the newcomers to have money.

and a little money helps to make it far
more endurable. 1t also enables clear
ing to be done more rapidly and thor
oughly and crops to be produced earlier
and better prepared for market. For
those who settle in the cities 1t provides
a freedom from the need OF competi-
tion for employment, and enables the
immigrant to devise new methods Of
adding to the city's business.
1t is predicted that next year the pop.
ulation OF this state will be increased
by one hundred thousand persons. That
is only the beginning This state will
become one Of the most densely popu-
lated In the whole country.

The speeches Of Bryan are becoming
humorous. He has been down in Texas
visiting ex-Gov. Hogg, whom he has
tickled by referring to him as his posi-
BILE running mate on the presidential
ticket A man who could succeed In
fooling any Texan into the remotest
hope that a state with such an assured
Democratic majority would have the
vice presidency wasted upon 1t has
right to, think there are people gullibie
enough to believe In his prophecies.
Mr.. Bryan told the Texans that the
Democrats would make great gains next
year among the masses Of people. That
gain. Bryan says, viii comprise ''the
wage earners-these are the people who
will vote with the Democrats next
year." Mr.. Bryan thinks the wage
earners will vote the Democratic ticket
because Of their opposition to trusts
Does Mr.. Bryan suppose that the tens
OF thousands OF men comprising labor
in power which will cripple any institu-
ton created to keep up prices against
ruinous competition? Does he suppose
that either those tens OF thousands or
the many other thousands who are now
busy will vote to put again party in
power with which they associate the
most miserable conditions known to this
country in hundred years?
Mr.. Bryan told the people Of Texas
that "the truth Of the matter Is the
people of Nebraska have been awak-
ened; they realize that 1t is time that
q change was being made in the admin
istration." 1t is not quite apparent 20
the general public that Nebraska has
awakened to any appreciable degree. 1t
gave Bryan plurality Of 1856 over
Sullivan, also a fusionist, an even great
er plurality. In 1892. seven years be-
fore Organism. the fusionists beat Har-
rison by nearly 21.000. How, in the face
OF such figures, Bryan can say that
Nebraska promises increased majorities
for him cannot be explained except that
1t is Bryan's picturesque way of stat
ing things to an audience he regards
as likely to be uniformed and very
easily deluded.
The awakening Of the people to a
realization that it Is time to have a
change in the administration Is very
like the awakening that Texas is hav-
ing. 1t means decreasing in the num-
Der of those who believe in the '16 to T.
panacea. 1t means an increasing nuns
Der in the stronghold of Democracy Of
those who realize that prosperity is
identified with Republican principles
and seems to be impossible under
Democratic administration. 1t means
an increase In the number of those who
believe 1t is better to be kept employed,
even though some men do make more
money than others, than to stand shiv-
erfng on the sidewalk with idle hands
in empty pockets in order that some
body might not make too much

THE FREIGHT TRAIN OF LIFE.


Men are like train Of cars
That rumble ON the track
With many curves and many Jars,
And many drawing back.
Some are the engines that must pull
Upon the heavy grade
And some are empty, some are full
Each for its made.
Some seem to slide along the way
With never q squeak or jolt,
Aud some go creaking as II they
Were sore in every bolt
And some are billed to go through straight.
And one Is here and there
To be left on some switch and wait
In gloomy days or fair
Men are as cars that rumble past
Each has its place aud use;
The engine at the head and last
