MIR. SIMPSONS VIEWS.
Thinks Passenger Station Ought to

Seattle, Nov. Is. 1899.
To the Editor: While admitting that on
most subjects there Is room for differences
OF opinion. still II r. amazing that men Of
mature Judgment. who certainly have the
welfare OF Seattle at heart, should be
found who are opposed to having re-
spectacle passenger depot in this city, sit
uated In the very place which Is exactly
suited for the purpose. Have we become
so accustomed to wading through siush
and slop In going to and from trains and
steamb boat landings; have our eyes and nos
trils been so long offended by the sight OF
old junk, fish markets. coal bunkers.
dilnpidation and offensive doors, that we
must feel robbed OF our heritage when the
district bounded by Western avenue. Yes
Ter way and University street shall bo

hahitants OF the seal islands In Bering sea
have become so accustomed to living In
fog that they are made uncomfortable by
the appearance OF a clear sky. Unless
habit has affected our citizens I'm similar

provement is most unaccountable
The idea that the passenger station In a

by gas factory. by warehouses by oil

an absurdity which our people will GER

and rob fishing vessels and fishermen. This
was in 1898 and 1894. After the Spanish
American war Hall says he was in Cuba

regularly enlisted soldier.

stories-one Of the South and
tramp life; of the West and
railroad life-both original in Incl
dents and genial in spirit and out
come. There is a sweet and ex-
allied Christmas poem, and there is
a characteristic poem by the author
of "The, Man with the Hoe" The
dramatic, but scarcely known,
story Of Lauren's special mission to
France, that saved the cause Of the
American Revolution, is effectively
told by James Barnes, illustrated
by Howard Pyle; Ex-Secretary

Of "The Impeachment of Andrew
Johnson" of which he was one Of
the Congressional managers; and
there are a number of other con-
tributions Of notable quality and
interest.

Richard Croker has gone to
England to look after his race
horses. On the eve of his depar-
ture he gathered the faithful
around him and delivered a short
political sermon. He advised his
hearers to take plenty Of exercise
and keep sober. That certainly
was good advice. The greater
part of his discourse was directed
against the awful trusts. He said
that President Mckinley was at
the head of the greatest of all
trusts-the Republican party is
the party Of trusts. In his opinion
Democracy and Tammany are
divinely commissioned to crush
the trusts. He admonished his
hearers to keep banging away at
the trusts and never let up. He
told them he would be back in
March to help them in the fight.
He neglected to tell them anything
about the political trust, of which
he is the head. After reading his
screed, one would be led to infer
that only Republicans were in the
trust business. All Democrats are
too good and too honest to have
anything to do with the wicked
trusts. From his talk, it would
appear that MI. Croker would put
all other questions in the back.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1889.
O MANS PARADISE.

With its millions Of acres of
public lands, open to settlement,
North Dakota is bound to attract
immigrants from the older portions
of the country and from across the
ocean, in large numbers, for some
years to come. The state is capa-
BILE of sustaining a dense popula-
ton. The soil is unexcelled, the
climate superb, our coal fields are
inexhaustable, and no doubt nature
has stored away a great wealth of
minerals that remain as yet I'M
touched. The immigrants who
come to North Dakota now will
not have to undergo the ~hardships
endured by the pioneers. Almost
every part Of the state is penetrat-
ed by railroads. There are pop
ulous towns and cities, with
churches, public schools and many
institutions where the higher edu-
cation can be obtained. The
immigrant who comes here now
with his family is not coming to a
wild prairie country, but to one
well settled by intelligent people.
Instead of getting away from civil
ization, he is coming to a civiliza-
ton Of the highest type. We all
should work together to secure the
very cream Of that immigration
that is constantly coming from the
east and the old world. Everyone
of our people who write to friends
in the east, in Europe or in Canada,
ought to tell them of the great
inducements which North Dakota
offers to the immigrant. Let all
take a personal interest in this.
Send out newspapers, railroad
literature and other printed matter
in relation to the wonderful adj
vantages offered by our state to
those seeking new homes. North
Dakota is the home seekers para
disc. Our population is increas-
ing rapidly and there is ample
room for a million lore. In twenty
years North Dakota will catch up
with Iowa and break the record OF
Kansas and Nebraska. Just &c
back twenty years and compare the
state now to what it was then, Its
increase in wealth and population
has been marvellous, and we are
still marching to the front.

Two Pointed Questions Ans
Wered.

What is the use Of making a
better article than your competitor
if you cannot get a better price
for it?
Ans.-As there is no difference
in the price the public will buy
only the better, so that while our
profits may be smaller on a single
sale they will be much greater in
the aggregate.
How can you get the public to
know your make is the best?
If both articles are brought
prominently before the public
both are certain to be tried and
the public will very quickly pass
judgment on them and use only
the better one.
This explains the large sale on
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The people have been using it for
years and have found that it can
always be depended upon. They
may occasionally take up with
some fashionable novelty put forth
with exaggerated claims, but are
certain to return to the one remedy
that they know to be reliable, and
for coughs, colds and Group there
is nothing equal to Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. For sale at A. E.
Hodgkinson's drug store.
