Westward the tide of pros
per;ty wends it's way. The street
car employees of Minneapolis
were given q substantial raise in
wages last Saturday, the raise
coming unsolicited. This is only
one item out of many that appear
in the daily papers from day to
day and will furnish the evil
dence of prosperity to oar
friends on the other side who
are loudly clamoring for evidence
to back up the assertion of the
return of prosperity. At the
head of our editorial columns we
give list of a few of the late
raises made by employers to
their employees, and it is needless
for us to comment. We could
fill the front page Of the Courier
with such testimonials. Take
conditions at home, and candidly
can you find anything but pros
porous conditions. Our people
are all getting along nicely, busi-
ness men are enjoying a good
trade, farmers are in condition
to buy and are buying more ma
chinery and stock than they ever
bought beforehand lots of it for
cash too-working men ard me-

permits, and altogether this state
as well as the entire country is
in a very prosperous and healthy

North Carolina, chairman of the
populist executive committee,
tells the Washington Post that
Barker and Donnelly, who were
nominated by q convention cal
ling itself populist last year as a
presidential ticket for 1900, were
not populist candidates at all,
and that the party has made no
nominations yet. According to
Butler, his committee next
winter will issue a call for a
popullst national convention,
(which will assemble before
either of the old party conven
tlons, and will then nominate a
presidential ticket for 19OO." But
Butler, that is to say. pretends
that the populist party is still liv.
ing. His word on this point is not
worth much. In the congress
whose official existence began
recently there are four populists
in the senate, us com oared with
five in the congress which ex,
pired on March i. In the pres.
ent house there are only seven
populists. while there were TWEEN
ty-one in the preceding house.
There was a falling off in the
populist vote all around in the
elections last November. The
populists escaped with the loss
Of only one Der of the senate
because only one of the popu-
list senators happened to have
his term end with the recent
congress. If the entire senate
had been renewed the populists
would probably have Jared as
badly as they did in the elections
for the house, in which only one.
third as many populists were
chosen as were elected two years
earlier.
A shrinkage to anything like
this extent by a minor party al
ways presages the death of that
party. A minor party has to
grow in order to endure at all.
The moment it stops increasing
it's death is at hand. This is a
law of politics. A big party can
shink relatively or absolutely for
a canvass or two without serious

relic OF the Alaskan Indians. Il should b.
removed at once and taken to Washing

Of honor in front Of the Smithsonian insu-

This pole is really one OF the most inter
estins objects We have ever seen, and any
attempt by the Alaskan Indians TO wrest
II from the possession Of Seattle should be
resisted.
OF course, If the Post Intelig encer crowd
annexed that pole ia the dead Of night ami
got away with the plumber they should pay
FOR 1t. The Indians will doubtless accept
a reasonable money consideration for this
sNriting away Of one Of their IDOLS but at
whatever cost this totem pole should be
retained To the curio hunter +, Is worth
Its weight in gold. and IL is today the most
interesting thing in Seattle and the best
