zen of my own state, whom l am very
proud and happy TO call my personal
friend. l very rarely agree with him
on any political question. but he made
single statement last night with
which l think l am in more or less
agreement.
He referred in a picturesque way
to the dreadful career that has been
run by the Republican party since it
came into power in 1896. He said they
have passed from a needless war with
Spain To Il wanton war with COlon-
bia. Needless war with Spain. Mr..
President. | am inclined to think that
adjective was well chosen. If when
the first STRINGS for independence
had come in that island. the admin
istratiOn of Mr.. Cleveland had behaved
with sense and courage; if they had
told Spain that the time had come
when the United States could no long
or hold back. and that Cuba must
lac free, I believe then and believe
now that Cuba would have obtained
her independence. perhaps. after some
prOtracted negotiations. but without
any war by us.
And l look forward with great in
tcrest ana great pleasure to the pic
ture that was drawn at that dinner

CulOgiZed the last Democratic preSi-
dent" He said that -Cleveland's last
administration had never been dis
cuSSed. and he would like to discuss
ii. especially to contrast the policy
which tried to set up LiIiuOkalani in
Hawaii with the policy of tie Repub-
licIn party which has made those ISL
andS Il part OF the United States"
THE whole field bristleS with de-
liGhtful contrasts. l think that moth
ing could be happier for us than to
have our Democratic friends nominate
the last Democratic reform president
with the agreeable record of his last
administration as theme for debate
on a policy of sustaining Colombia and
opposing the United States in digging
the canal at Panama

The moderate prices of most
varieties of staple merchandise
sold at all the stores in Friday
Harbor are a matter of frequent
and favorable comment. It is
impossible of course for local
merchants to carry such be-
wildering variety of fancy goods
and holiday novelties as are dis
played in the great city stores
but they can and do carry most
excellent stocks of staple COM
modities at prices generally low
er than can be obtained in Sc

gain hunters who keep close
watch of the advertising col
umns of the papers and take
advantage of especial sales.''

The Post-Intellgencer has con-
tanned some most excellent ed
itorials of late urging a reform
of the steamboat inspection
laws and their strict enforce
ment. The opinion is fast
growing among people who give
any thought to the matter that
the officers of the revenue cutter
service should be charged with
the duty of steamboat inspec-
ton. They are educated men,
trained especially for their work,
and not dependent for their
positions upon the favor of poll
ticians or the influence of trans

Perhaps it was a little too
much to expect that anyone OF
the Bellingham papers would
exhibit it's frendliness (?) for
San Juan County by calling
attention to it's superiority as
an agricultural county over
Whatcom county, as shown by
official statistics. It is often
said that comparisons are
odious" and very likely the
comparisons made by the Is
LANDER editorially last week
were regarded by the bay papers

One of the county's best
known and most progressive
citizens asks whether any steps
have been taken toward repre-
sentation for this county at the
Lewis and Clark Fair through
the making of an exhibit and
the distribution of descriptive
literature, as recently suggested
in the ISLANDER. So far as we
know, nothing has been done.
The neglect to "get move on
in the matter may perhaps be
attributed to the theory that
"what is everybody's business
is nobody's business. The need
of an efficient county board of
trade becomes greater every
year. If the promotion of pub.
