est race!''

In looking after your servant do not
forget the fact that she is D woman,
and very human, with all the likes
and dislikes, the love of pleasure, rest
and recreation possessed by other
human beings. ii she has not had
the advantages OF education, and
knows but little of the world, remem-
Der that she is so much the more to
be pitied. Women, as class, from
lack OF proper training, are not bust
nesslike. The housewife retains the
responsibility Of all the detail work
rather than give it over to the servant;
hence the lack of interest and respon-
sibility on the part of the average
maid. If the housewife would but
allow her servant to become response
BILE for the great bulk of the detail
work much confusion would be avoid
ed. Persons become responsible only
by having responsibility placed upon
them, and servants, us a rule, feel the
Importance OF their work according to
the trust which is reposed in them
and the responsibility which is placed
on them.

Never in the history OF this country
has the farmer had such promising
prospect as at the present time.
Should the favorable conditions con-
tinue throughout the season and good
prices prevail this fall, wave OF pros
perity never equalled here, will be
upon us. Heretofore, as in all new
countries, most of the seasons pro-
ducts were turned over to pay up
loans, interest and mortgages but this
year it is safe to say that at least seven
out OF ten OF the farmers will have
their crops almost entirely clear. AL
ready many arc planning houses, barns
and other improvements which they
have long needed. We hope and trust
that their expectations may be fulfill
ed to the fullest extent, not alone for
our own benefit but for their comfort.

1t will be interesting, when the re-
turns of the census of 1900 are made
up, to see where the center of popula-
ton is then shown to be located In
1860 it was near Athens, in southern
Ohio. In 1870 it had moved west
ward to the neighb orhood OF Hamil-
ton, Ohio. In 1880 it was in southern
Indiana, near the Ohio line. In 1890
it still rested in Indiana, but had
again moved westward. Probably the
census of 1900 will show it to be some
where in southern Illinois, and we ex-
pect that it will have sweryed little
northward from a line running due
west from its last loo alton.

OUR FORlER GLORY ON THE SEA,

in the early years of this Republic
our plentiful and prosperous shipping
gave us rank with the greatest nations,
as well as wealth, power and prestige.
The intrepid American seaman, as
we'll as the ships of unequaled grace
and swiftness that sailed all over
the broad oceans, were the admiration
and the envy OF all mankind. Ameri-
cans who have lived their allotted
three score years and ten remember
with glow and thrill the prestige
of the American sailor and the Amer
can ship in the fifties. But since
those days the American clippers have
faded from the seas, history and legend
alone recording the brilliant and en-
during achievements OF our country
men in the merchant shipping service.
There has departed with our ship
ping one OF the greatest money max
ing industries with which the country
ever was blessed, and our national
neglect has built great powerful fleets
for foreign ships that annually earn
hundreds OF millions of dollars at the
expense of the American people. More
than that, these powerful merchant
ships and their experienced men in
crease the naval strength of their
governments, at the same time per.
petuating the dangerous weakness OF
the United States upon the sea.
A bill to remedy all this, a bill to
revive the glory, the grandeur and the
greatness of the United States in all
the great ports of the world, a bill to
turn our foreign carrying over to
American ships, now hangs upon each
of the congressional calendars, favora-
bly, reported, but Enacted upon. Here
is the time--here the opportunity
for an eloquent tongue, an influential
orator and a preeminent statesman to
induce congress before adjournment
to do it's manifest duty by American
shipping.

PRINTERS ARE GREAT MEN.

"He is only a printer" Such was
the thoughtless remark Of leader in
circle Of alleged aristocracy-the
Goldfish quality! Who was the Earl
of Stanhope? He was only Il printer
Who was Prince Edward William and
Prince Napoleon? Proud to call them
selves printers. says the Pomeroy In
dependent. The present czar OF Rus
STA and the Duke of Battenburg are
printers and the Emperor OF China
worked in a private printing Office
almost every day. William Caxton,
the father of English literature, was
practical printer. What were G. P.
Morris, N. P. Willis, James Gale,
James Parker, Horace Greedy, Charles
Dickens, James Buchanan, Simon
Cameron and Schuyler Colfax? Print
ers all, and practical ones. Also Bay
ard Taylor, the poet. Mark. Twain,
Amos Cummings, Bret Harte, Opie
Reid are plain printers, as were Arte-
mus Ward, Petroleum V. Nasty and
Sut Lovingwood. Senator Plumb
was printer, and james s, Hogg of
Texas, and the leader OF science and
philosophy, Benjamin Franklin, in
his day made it his boast that he was
printer.

Beautiful Spokane, the finest young
city of the great Northwest according
to census just taken, has population
of 47,047, and is now second on the
list in that respect. Sixteen years
ago at the breaking out of the Occur
d. Alene mining excitement not more
than 1000 souls comprised the popu-
lation. There were less than half
dozen buildings OF any kind on the
north side of the river where that
portion of the city now stands. Many
men now living truly prophesied then
that she would naturally become the
greatest inland city OF the state within
a few years. Today she bids fair to
outstrip everything on land or sea
within our state borders. Well should
Eastern Washington take pride in the
handsome 'city by the falls" where
wealth, commerce and splendid peo-
Pile are centering. The Chronicle in
passing upon the subject, says. "Thirty
years ago there was not . cross road
store in Washington that was not OF
greater commercial Importance than
Spokane Falls. Twenty years ago
Cheney was deadly rival of this town
for supremacy. Cheney was left be-
hind and Walla Walla disputed honors
with Spokane as leader OF the Inland
Empire. Walla Walla is forgotten
yet it is but a few years since this city
began to measure her strength with
that of Tacoma-timidly at first, like
one outclassed, then with increasing
confidence. Today Spokons has but
one rival in the great Evergreen state
Seattle. Now for the last and great
est race!"

Amongst other acts of Justice, tn

Amongst other acts of justice, that
OF keeping promises is necessary to
peace and stability of society and the
welfare of each individual. Most of
our civilization and prosperity rests
upon faith in one another; and a very
large proportion of what is done in
the world would go undone if we had
ae ASSURANCE that the promises made
p ns vlt6ad be kept. This is so gen
s,efsal y aid SO cleariy seen that there is
no Lack Of emphasis placed upon the
nut Of keeping promises. In every
good Lome and school this lesson is
inculcated. Public opinion upholds
1T, and even the law in certain cases
interferes to enforce it Yet, in spite
OF all this, many promises are broken.
Much Of our confidence in one another
is destroyed, individual honor is sui
lied, and the welfare OF society suffers
in consequence.
