Prospect for American Shipping.

The discussion of the Hanna-Payne
subsidy bill in behalf of an American
Merchant Marine has brought out the
fact that Great Britain pays BITS, 1882
to different steamship companies for
carrying the royal mail to the most
prominent ports of the woodland the
Hanna-Payne bill proposes to meet
Great Britain exactly at her door, and
hence the bill calls for $685. 1884, to
be paid as subsidies to American
steamship lines-and we are one of
those American citizens who sincerely
hope that this bill may become law
before the next ninety days shall have
expired-Seattle Times.
How short-sighted the policy of
those who have for years fought every
attempt OF the Republicans to foster
our shipping, and provide American
bottoms for American commerce. To-
day English vessels are carrying over
ninety per cent of American trade,
and the British flag flies over many
seas, to which the stars and stripes are
stranger,-not because its vessels are
better, but because England encour-
ages ship-building by liberal subsidies.
Among the protests against the pass
age of the subsidy bill, is one from a
labor union. Perhaps in these pros
porous times they have all the employ
ment they want. We certainly hope
the bill will become law, and Ameri-
can shipping will no longer be
thrOttled.

Ten New R'y Trains.

A prominent N. P. official who re-
Gently visited the Sound says the an
nOuncements of a double transconti-
mental train service to the Pacific
coast are correct. The rolling stock
for the new trains has been ordered
and will be delivered shortly after the
first of the year. There is to be de-
livered by the first of February ten
new trains, complete in every particu-
lar. Each train will consist of six
teen section sleepers, an observation
car, buffet and library, baggage and
comfortable day coaches. All the
dining cars will also be new. This
will insure the running Of two through
trains from the Sound to the east
every day. He says the times dem and
the extra trains, and they are rushing
things so as to be able to handle the
increased passenger business next
spring.-Capital.

Fish Traps Scoop Everything.

In making strenuous efforts to pro-
tect the salmon supply from dimin u
ton the state of Washington has TAX
en- a commendable stand, and if the
object aimed at is accomplished, the
amount of expenditure entailed is
certainly good investment. Efforts
thus far have been almost entirely
confined to those species which enter
largely into the canning industry, but
it is evident an extension OF the scope
of operations will be necessary. The
rate at which the dog salmon of upper
Sound waters has been repleted in re-
cent years has called attention to this
erstwhile neglected species as desira-
BILE food fish. Last year dog salmon
were handled by the local fishermen
at 7@8c, while this year the price has
run up to 65c and il is difficult to Sc
cure nearly the desired supply. The
American Fish company OF this city,
which has smoked about 80 tons of
this variety of salmon this season, has
been obliged to turn down many orders
from the central states and curtail op
erations because of inability to secure
a supply. Not many years ago local
fishermen would suspend work with
the opening OF the dog salmon run,
because there was practically no mar
ket, and the fish were so prolific that
the catch was not worth the wear and
tear on the nets. The past seasons,
however, the fisheries of this district
have been marked to the fullest ca
pacity, the catch supplying the down
Sound cannerles and shippers almost
entirely from November to February.
From everlasting and inadequate pro-
lection of the spawning grounds the
run has decreased until the salmon
fishing of this part of the Sound will
need heroic measures to prevent exter-
mination.-West Coast Trade.

AFTER three years of republican adj
ministration We find the national treas
ury in such condition that it must
buy government bonds before they are
due IN order to get rid of money on
hand and get it in circulation. We
also find the country in such pros
porous condition that England, short
time ago was the creditor nation of
the world, comes over here and Dor
rows money to carry on her war.
Thlrgs were just little bit different
alter three years of the last democratic
administration. The president had
just finished selling over quarter of a
billion of bonds in order to get money
enough into the treasury to pay the
bills that came in, and everybody re-
members that it was hard enough to
borrow that money. We had to rus
tie for it, and pay high rate of inter
est. Things were different with the
people, too. The man who had a $40
a week job was in great luck. The
souphouse a fourishing institution.
The farmers were bowed down under
their mortgages and store bills. The
banks were nearly all broken, and the
railroads and other big corporations
were III the hands OF receivers. 1t is
just as well, men and brethren, not to
forget tlicSs, things in the pride and
JOY OF the present prosperlty.-Yaki-

Then Namarah would weep, and im-
plore him not to send her from him,
saying that what he pictured as her
happiness looked to her like the very
face OF death. so greatly did she dread
1t. Whereat her father Jephthah would
but smile, and say it would not be SO
with her one day, when the lord and
master Of her heart should come.
''He is here" she would say. flinging
her white arms about him, there will
be never any other" And Jephthah
would smile again and say only the
one word: "Wait," whereat Namarah
would grow almost angry, and tears of
vexation would spring into her eyes.
Then would Jephthah rouse himself
and stand upright on his strong legs
and lift her in his mighty arms as
though she were still the little maid
he used to toss and dandle, and hold
her high above his head, and refuse to
let her down from this unseemly alti
tude until the break OF her childish
laughter had blown away her tears.
