ALONG THE COAST.
ltems Of General Interest Cleaned
From the Thriving Pacific
States.

Conditions in all lines of industry in
the Pacific Northwest this fall are in
exceptionally fine shape and indica-
tions are that next year will see all ac-
tivity not hitherto found here. Even
now we have indications from different
sources that there are preparations be-
ing made for doing a large amount of
deferred work along agricultural lines,
railroad building, harbor improve
ment, mining, etc., besides much work
that must be done to keep pace with
growing demands in these sections, and
as a result of all this it is safe to pre-
dict that there can be no idle men
through the winter, nor during next
summer. In some sections the demand
for workmen is so great that those
needing them have difficulty in secur.
ing them, Notwithstanding that the
wages offered are higher than ordinary.
Nearly all men who are able and will
ing to work can secure employment.
and there is no excuse for idle mer
from now on. Those who may hay
been affected by the closing down oI
nearly all the single mills recently
can secure temporary work elsewhere
during the time their mills are closed,
ii they SO desire, and men coming from
the East looking for work should have
no difficulty in securing plenty Of work
at good wages. OF course, 1t Is not ex-
pected that there will be SO great de-
mand for skilled labor as for the or'li-
nary, on account of the skilled artisans
and regular employees of the factory and
ON the farm holding their positions
right along. but that class of workmen
who generally do not secure work for
all the year and are anxious to keep
busy during the winter months may
find work in abundance at good wages.

Decorating Graves.

We see that the G. A. r. refused at Colum-
bus to accept flowers for the decoration OF the
graves OF Union soldiers. While we think
that floral tributes might we'll be received by
anybody from anybody, yet we are not GER
tain that we are sorry for the Confederate SOL
diers who sent the unwelcome flowers. For
the last six months we have had about as
much cant on the subject Of graves as would
satisfy the most exacting hypoccite
Except for the show and ostenta by the
living, we believe there is precious little sen-
timent on the subject Of decoration of
graves" Decoration seems to be more OF an
ocular demonstration. Memorial services
are expressive Of heart. Decoration appeals
TO the sight.
We are not sufficiently cultivated to know
how any man wants to decorate the graves OF
opposing soldiers.

The Greenyille Mountaineer.


Our respected contemporary. the GreenVille
Mountaineer gives us hint as to the possi-
bilIty of our giving aid and comfort TO the
Filipinos In their resistance TO the authori-
ties OF the United States, and says that ne
himself Is very careful what he publishes be-
cause of his increasing circulation In the
Philippines. This admonishes US that we
might for similar reasons to be careful as TO
what we say.
Our neighbor, keeping silent, will let NC
Kinley take his course, and In 1900, he will,
under the leadership Of Bryan, propose to call
him to account and possibly put Bryan In
his place.
That Mckinley will have opposition there
can be NO sort OF doubt, and II the opponents
of Mckinley want man to be led to the
slaughter, the country will be satisfied with
having Bryans head come under the axe.
AS none OF the gold Democrats, as far as
heard from, have renounced their principles,
there is not possibility of Bryan's election
on the silver question.
The eanti-expansionists may be able to win
by Joining with the silver men, but we think
this IL not probable.
The public sense will not endorse any
movement which has for lis purpose the CIV
ing away, or the relinquishment, of the &C
quired territory.
AS long as the race issue exists the South
will vote for the Democratic nominee. wheth-
er be is to their liking or not
It would seem the part of wisdom for the
Democratic party not TO enter upon issues
which divide their own ranks. 1t would be
good policy for the majority not to run the
calf" over the minority with too great dis
regard for the proprieties. In the South the
white people, politically, may have to SUBJ
NIT, but in the North and West the condi-
tions are different, and the people will vote
as they please.
No party need hope for success as long as a
large minority are forced to give their assent
TO principles which are repugnant to their
sense of right.
Bryan will be as acceptable to us as any one
who opposes expansion, and wants free sill
yer. This newspaper is an e1pansionist for
ever, and 1t never will give its adherence TO
the doctrine of sixteen to one. But we will
vote the Democratic ticket-and vote for Bry-
an, too, II he is nominated.
AS long as the questions are open we are
free TO speak our mind, but when the party
has spoken, then we will vote for It's nomi-
nees, however much we may despise their
principles.

Your Name and Address In Letter.

Make practice of signing your name
In full; it is the dignifed way. And If you
have not given your address in the begin
ming, be sure you do it at the close OF your
letters. To date letters is good habit, but
in most correspondence it is not so impor-
tant as to give your address. Don't as
sumo that people remember it; you may
occupy less space in their minds than you
think, and don't make them take the trou-
BILE of looking you up in an address book.
Finally and emphatically, never use
title in signing your own name II you
want a stranger to know whether you are
Miss or Mrs. put tho proper term In pa
rentheses before your name; but nothing
could be worse form than to directly In
clude it in your signature. Correct
