WISE WORDS.

Learning unapplied is like seed put
away to decay slowly ON the shelf of
Incidence.
All man has to do to obtain So
called social success is to put fair
value ON himself and live up to it.
Suspicion is the attribute of weak
nature. Respect oil you meet till you
have cause to do otherwise, and then
avoid; do not condemn.
Humor is the electric light in the
halls of literature. Wit is the fash
light, and sarcasm a torch darkened
by the smoke Of prejudice.
A touch of humor makes one a
keener critic even Of his'own work.
He that hath the salt may flavor life's
stew as he pleases, and humor is the
salt of life.
Great natures gain the sympathy OF
the world because we know instructive
ly that they will follow asimplo, brave,
direct course. 1t is tho small nature
which is unreliable.
To person OF force and talent self
repression cannot be too strongly re-
commended. Do not expend yourself
on human brawls and passions; put
your force in your work.
Keep your fire under the pot of life
or literature. Smoke aud prejudice
don't improve any diet except to q
diseased taste, while your wisdom
and wit are proved in the chafing-dish
of public opinion.
Talking OF ghosts, and there are
really many, the ghost of an evil life
is its own better self, haunting the
human house from which he is driven
till the 'black camel" kneels ut its
door and men whisper she has given
up the ghost"
A long unrepented is always q
weight on our self-respect, but one
atoned for is height in whose shadow
we may view with broader, noblel
charity, and more sympathetic tender
moss, the faults OF others, extending
them a help untried goodness coult
never give.
When you make human being the
recipient of so-called charity, yor
destroy his self-respect by placing
him in the position of o beggar
whereas If you give him work, ant
pay him we'll for doing it, you max,
him honor himaelf. as wege earne
capable Of helping others instead
of placing him under huniliatin2
obligations to yourself.

the pleasure Of voting for Populst candi-

their support to the gospel of calamity

on a law that would save them from

The commercial business viii probably
pay a fair interest on the investment
from the start, and in year or so, if
it is desired private companies would
be glad to take the lines over, at an
advance over the cost to the govern
ment Of their construction.
A very important feature. of the pro-
posed Geographic construction IN
Alaska is that if the interior lines are
once in operation the necessity and the
demand for a cable from the Alaskan
coast to Seattle, or some point on the
Washington coast. will both become
greater. A cable line to northern
Alaska will supply the most important
link in the transpacific line, and the
completion of the rest of that line by
the northern route will be assured. 1t
is probably this latter fact which ac-
counts for the interest which has been
displayed in some quarters in striking
out the appropriation for the Alaska
military telegraph line. despite the earn
est request OF the war department for
authority to build it, That action must
not be allowed to stand.

Alaska Telegraph Line.

1t is to be hoped that the Washington
delegation In congress will use every ex-
ertion to have the provision for the
building Of the Alaska military tele
graph line restored in the army appro-
priation bill before the final passage of
that measure. The provision seems to
have been cut out without debate, and
without the value of the proposed line
having been thoroughly explained That
such a line is a military and CONNER
cial necessity no one familiar with ex-
listing conditions In Alaska can doubt.
II is intended to start from Prince WILL
lam sound, which is open to navigation
all the year round, and to bring all the
military posts. ana consequently all the
important mining camps. in Northern
Alaska in telegraphic communication
not only with each other, but with the
outside world.
During the long months OF the winter
the only means Of communication which
those people have with other communi-
ties Is by long and toilsome journeys by
dog teams in which weeks and in many
Instances months are consumed. 1t ap-
pears clear now that these portions OF
Alaska will have during the coming
winter a very heavy population. II may
be, quite likely II will be, as large as
the population OF some Of the states IN
the Union In the absence of complete
civil government the army officers sta
toned at those posts will be charged
with large share Of the duty Of pre-
serving order In communities having
floating population. and containing nee.
essarly large element OF most unde-
sirable characters. Ordinary common

traordinary duties should be In close

Not Born Equal.

Whatever we may think about the
famous abstraction that "all men are
born equal" we have to deny it ut
terly with reference to our new island
Hamilton. in introducing the Hawaiian
bill. that each portion of the new ter
ritory should be treated on its own
basis. and that the form of government
provided for one is not necessarily a
precedent for any other, has been chal-
lenged widely. Why, it is asked, should
we grant the territorial name, dele
gate in congress and a legislature both
houses of which are elected by the peo-
pie to Hawaii. and refuse a similar sys-
tenn to Puerto Rico?
Here is the same neglect Of the prac-
tical. the same indifference to fact. the
same clinging to distractions. the same
worship of uniformity that mark the
whole controversy over the territorial
problem. Why give to Hawaii and re-
fuse to Puerto Rico? Sensible people
are actually asking this, as If 1t were
not the same as to say, why give one
form of government to Arizona, an
other TO Alaska and another to Massa-
chusetts? Or why, in our educational
system. prescribe one course of study
for the high school and another for
the primary grades? Why not provide
that, whenever public building is to
be erected anywhere. It shall cost

Its Importance Recognized.

The growing importance of Seattle as
a business center and its assured fu-
ture are receiving each day some new
recognition and confirmation. II is no
longer one of our fond dreams that we
win first divide the business of this
coast with San Francisco and then pass
her in the race. 1t is something attested
by everyday facts. Within the last
week two events have happened that
testify to the place of this city in the
estimation of authorities at a distance
who are moved only by considerations
of evident fact and of self interest.

office for the certification of money or
ders payable in Japan. Its territory
will stretch eastward TO the boundaries
Of Minnesota. Heretofore the exchange
office for Japan for the entire United
States has been at San Francisco. But
the business done with Japan goes not
by way of the California city, but by
way of Seattle The excellent conduct
of our local postoffice and it's fine record
added weight to the argument. Having
in mind the tendency of trade and the
growing volume of the stream to the
Orient that flows through the gateway
Of Puget sound, the honors of San Fran
cisco have been divided. The federal
government recognizes the brilliant
trade future that lies ahead of Seattle.

to this time. the business of the CON
Germ in this territory has passed
through the hands of Portland or San
Francisco. Seattle now becomes an ex-
ecutive center, to which reports will be
made and from which they will be
transmitted to the East. There could
scarcely be a more striking or forcible
confirmation OF the sanguine belief OF
our people in their own future. The
