Gus: a glance ut the Relief Society
sewing school in the Lincoln building
any Saturday afternoon from October
until April might well interest anyone
charitablv inclined. There are found
about ninety poor little girls with
bright, clean faces and neatly dressed
hair, intently learning the mysteries
of needle. thread and thimble. The
first and most important is beginning
with overland patch work under the
able direction of the faithful Miss
Avery, better known as dear Aunt
Abbie.
We learn from it's diligent and sue
cessful directress. Miss Sadie Dart,

cellent teachers. Mesdames Warnecke,

been acting as cutter all winter, for
which all feel most grateful, as well as
for the untiring efforts of its teachers.
Each girl is taught to stitch. hem,
| fill, gather and ..over-hand''-in fact,
many to make buttonholes, and it is
an actual pleasure to see them start
ing with bright eyes and happy faces,
so proudly tor home, with a garment
which they have neatly finished. In
deed, every garment they wear, eN-
cept shoes and stockings, are made by
themselves, with the aid of their good
teachers, and it is astonishing TO see
how many bolts of heavy white mus
lin, flannel aud domestic prints are
used even with most skillful cutting.
Teachers are greatly needed; will not
others help in this good work?

The HERALD fails to see any reason
why the movement to secure better quar-.
ters for the postoflice should engender
bitter feeling among any considerable
number Of our people. Outside of half a
dozen property owners-whose interests
should be totally ignored in determining
the mat.er-nobody cares continental
in what building it is located, so that it
is not remote from the center OF popula-
ton and is sufficiently commodious to
permit the public to transact their bust
ness with comfort. 1t will not be denied
that the present postotiice is entirely too
small ior the business OF Aberdeen. This
is evident every evening, when the pa
irons Of the office wiggle their way in and
out through mass OF humanity, packed
a la sardines, in an effort to get their mail
before the closing hour. If you find any
one endeavorng to create i'll feeling over
this matte just examine him closely
and it's dollars to cookies that he has 6.
corner lot up his sleeve.

The visit OF Hon. w. j. Bry an to the
cities OF Puget Sound was the occasion q
the greatest series Of ovations that ever
greeted private citizen on the Pacific
Coast, and his speeches cannot fail to be
productive of large benefit to the political
tone of this state. They will have the
effect OF causing serious thought on the
part OF the people as to where the policies
Of the syndicates, who have gained con-
troll OF the republican party, must inevi-
tably land the nation. And serious
thought is all that is necessary to cause
the people to repudiate those policies at
the polls. The city OF Tacoma is to be
especially congratulated upon the public
spirit that erected q hall with seating
capacity for 10000 persons for the occa-
sion. And, like almost all public spirited
efforts, the building will prove source
of profit to the city.

THE PAPER TRUST.

A rational attempt at breaking up the
monopoly OF the paper trust has been
made in congress by Representative De
Vries, of California. lie has introduced
a Joint resolution authorizing the suspen"
sion OF tariff duties on printing paper and
the material OF which it is made. 10
doubt the paper trust, like many similar
combinations, derives great measure OF
its vitality as monopoly from discrimi-
nations in railway freights. 1t shares,
that is, in the monopoly privileges OF
railroads But it also derives vitality,
and in no small degree either, from the
protective tariff. Its support from this
source is much greater than the tariff rate
would suggest. a tariff rate OF $6 ton
on paper is not only an advantage to that
extent in making prices. 1t has powers
OF terrorizing to a lar greater extent.
Suppose, for illustration, now that print
ing paper is sold in the United States at
upwards OF $25 a ton more than it is
worth, that Canadians. tempted by these
large profits, should undertake to COM
pete in the American paper market. TIE
American trust could wait until the Cana
dian product began to come in, and then
arbitrarily lower prices to the point Of
cost and tariff. The difference between
cost and tariff would still yield them
comfortable profit. But the Canadians
would be shut out. When American con-
sumers had paid the Canadian price and
$6 ton tariff, they would have paid more
than the price to which the American
trust would haze dropped. 1t is because
they fear this that Canadians are not
stimulated by the high price Of paper in
the states to prepare to compete. They
are terrorized. Thus the American trust,
with So tariff as terrcrizng club, can
hold the American price OF paper up to
four, five or six times the amount OF the
tariff. This club would be taken out Of
their hands if Mr.. De Vries resolution
were adopted.

are declaring for the republican party. 1t
looks very plausible in republican news

be found that they never were Bryan

cause their sympath es never were with

controlling the party machinery and
