LOOK UPWARD, BROTHER. not
demean yourself before any human
being. The divine is within you, il
you will give it chance to develop
and manifest itself. So-called SUI
periors cannot possess anything OF
greater worth and excellence. II, in
all the centuries agone, mankind
had not Frustrated itself before rul-
ers and pOtentates, the sermon on
the mount would now be q reality
instead of q state hoped for. The
humbling of ones self, and insulting
ones self-respect, dwarfs and Grip
pies the soul and has been in all the
ages past and is the greatest obsta-
Gle to human progress. Jesus said:
The kingdom of God is within you. u
He did not mean the rich, Kings,
Presidents or Governors, but all
mankind. If the teachings of the
Master had been followed and prac-
ticed in spirit and in truth, Earth
and its fullness would to-day be en-.
joyed by the children of men as the
heritage of a common brotherhood.
1t is weakness to assert such condi-
ton can never exist. Error is tleet-
ing, truth will ultimately and power
fully prevail, her light cannot for
ever be obscured according to the
eternal fitness of things.

How Rocky" LOST SOME GOOD
CUsTOMERs.-The steamers of the
Olympia and Tacoma Navigation
company were virtually compelled to
return to coal for fuel, owing to the
gradual tightening of the tentacles of
that cormorant, the Standard Oil
company. Oil which had been sup
piled a few years ago for 81 cents q
barrel, has now reached 81. 10. Each
steamer burns about thirty barrels
per day, which for the two steamers
Greyhound and Multnomah, amounts
to a cost of about $4,000 a year,
Besides this, the delivery of the oil
is attended with considerable trouble
and delay, involving the passage Of
two draw-bridges. The coal barons
have crossed lances with the petrole-
um king, and offer speedy delivery of
coal to steamers at cost not exceed
ing that of oil. It is quite probable
that the steamer shipping of Puget
Sound will follow their example, and
Rockefeller will find a hole in his pie
thoric pocket as deep as one of his
wells. for failure to afford reasonable
facilities for handling his product.

New York at q Climax.

James ]. Hill, having made many
millions at planning, building and
conducting railroads, it follows that
his opinion on all subjects must be
received with open ears and bated
breath. 1t is probably because of
this prestige, that the New York re-
porter poses him as sitting in his Of
flee, with q large map Of the United
States spread out before him, on
which were traced various lines, rep
resenting railroads, rivers and canals
in different colOrS.
Now. listen to the words of wisdom
as they fall from the lips of this great
protector, who mighy as he is, and
wonderful as has been his success I'M
der ordinary conditions, had let af-
fairs get the better of his Judgment
in forecasting the demands OF trade
last winter and failing to provide for
unusual demands possible at any time,
though not probable at that or any
other time. 1t will be noted that it
is with futurity that he is dealing
now, and on topic not so directly
connected with immediate and inn
portant bearings as the Interrupt
ton and suspension of railroad oper-
alton last winter.
He declares that New York has
reached the climax of her commercial
supremacy; that no city can maintain
it's control when its chief claim is
that it is the dearest place in which
to do business. The cost of every
thing relating to trade and commerce
has increased beyond the point of
profit. Traffic will be forced to seek
other outlets; business other loca-
tions. The tax imposed upon bust
ness in New York, he says, is enor-
nous. Your real estate, your docks,
your means TO communication, all are
burdened with heavy charges. The
price to live and to do business in
New York is growing beyond the
ability OF the people to stand. They
will be forced to 60 elsewhere, seek
ing places where the cost is more
reasonable. Trade cannot be damned
up. 1t will seek an outlet some
where, by going around the edges or
making for itself entirely new chan
nels. The enormous products of this
country flow outward toward the
markets of the East and of Europe.
They have moved toward New York
only to find two great Obstacles
delay in trasit and high cost. From
the prairies to Liverpool the average
time required for a shipment of grain
is forty days. Twenty, and some
tsmes twenty-five, days of that time
are consumed in covering the short
distance between Buffalo and New
York. There are two outlets for the
West possible of development be-
sides New York and the adjacent
ports. One is through Canada, down
the St. Lawrence, and the other down
the Mississippi to New Orleans"
There you have it from the Great
Mogul, who, though he may not be
the Emperor of Delhi. is ut least
monarch of the railroad systems Of

Cause Of Earthquakes and Volcanoes

And now. that biologists have fig
ured out the age of old Mother Earth
approximates 100000 years; that
her crust is twenty miles thick, and
hold that earthquakes, volcanoes
and mountainous upheavals, are the
result of leaks into that surging lake
of fire that orthodox people believe
lies somewhere within broad Natures
domains, it may be well 10 remember
that when San Francisco sustained
her dreadful ordeal, nearly two years
ago, quite number of eminent sci
entists. attributed the phenomena to
a shrinkage of the crust of the Earth.
The STANDARD, some people thought
prcsumtuously, differed with them,
and gave the much more sensible ex-
PLANTATION now advanced, that few
tons of water had probably seeped
into that molten mass (Which geolo-
gists admit may possibly exist and
it produced q powerful superheated
gas, which, in escaping, cast up and
fractured the Earth's surface by it's
immense pressure, finding outlet by
volcano, OF steam, smoke. flame and
lava. 1t is some qualification, even
at this tardy day, that our opinion
finds cOrrobOrative evidence in the
investigations of Prof. See, of the U.
S. navy. He entirely rejects the the
DRY that earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions are resultant from cOntrac-
ton of Earth surface, but are caused
by a violent disturbance projecting
outward from the interior, probably
from a depth of twenty or thirty
miles, due to leakage from the ocean s
bottom, which at that depth may
have iaweigh to overcome the pres
sure incident to the. 8, 3OO..degrees of
Fahrenheit at Earths center.
Prof. See declares that, THE old
theories that mountains are due to
the secular cooling and contraction
of the globe must, therefore, be aban-
doned. The mountains are formed
by the expulsion of lava from the sea,
and hence they are parallel with the
coast"

\ New AMERICAN PARTY TO BE
F0RMED.-A movement is on foot in
Philadelphia for a revival of the old
time American party, better known
as the Know Nothing Organiza-
ton, from the fact that it's move
mcntS were conducted in secret. Its
main contention was to Put none
but Americans on guard" Whether
it will embrace the chief characteriS-
tic of the former atfilfation, secrecy,
or not, does not appear. Wharton
Barker. well-known financier, is
the prime mover in this new national
crusade for fair deal. 1t is quite
probable that the Administration
policy for admitting the troublesome
little Japs to civil and political equal
ty, has been the leaven that has Civ
en- rise" to to this movement. The
platform to be submitted, declares in
favor of establishing a postal savings
bank, a postal parcel system, govern
ment ownership of railroads and of
telegraph and telephone systems, a
graduated income tax to the levied
on all incomes more than $1,000 q
year, a graduated Inheritance tax,
the abolition of the United States
Senate and the repeal of the Presi-
dents veto power. 1t takes strong
stand against the late unwarranted
surrender of the President and Sec
rotary of the Treasury to the bank
ing interests by which, in times of
peace and with more than $3.50, 600
600 in the treasury of the United
