Senator Allen, of this state and Senator
<'handler. of New Hampshire, bar* quit*
recently displayed a combination of good
sense and audacity by vigoroa* assaults
upon tha ran*part* of senatorial old-fogy -
ittn. These bare been on the line of ira
ur' temeot in legislative procedure, in
wbfch tba new states hare an especial in
?re*t, and it were wall worth while for the
pre** and people to make their approba
tion of tba bold Innovators no pronounced
and hearty aa to aid in making their effort*
successful.
It will be remembered that .Senator
Allen, put upon entering a term which was
necessarily fits first, had tba hardihood to
take tbe floor and claim the attention of
tbe presiding officer and the Senate for tbe
purpose of pressing a measure of great and
immediate importance to bis constituents.
'1 hat august body was thunderstruck. It
was a radical departure from moss-grown
usage. Though not a ru'e, it is a custom
t.f the Senate to deny the use of tbe floor
for purposes of speech-making to a senator
during his first term.
Senator < handler's challenge of iron-clad
precedent took the form of a resolution
limiting debate on any one measure to six
d»r», and giving tbe inajoritr power to
order the previous question, and the
President of tbe Senate to count
n quorum present when necessary, after
ife manner of Speaker Reed, which also
operand like a galvanic shock and caused
a visible vibration among the rigid statu
ary by whom he was surrounded. Of late
di>"» "dignity." "courtesy" and •pririlege'
hare been pretty much tbe whole stock in
trade of (bat assemblage. No matter what
i ?or tact interests might be jeopardised
I; t)*Uy, if some venerable third or fourth
t<. er felt inclined to spend a month In
* tmirtg out platitudes about a pet
? h<i-.*r of no public interest, "senatorial
r .ff-rq" had so much respect for "«eos
t>>risi dignity" that the country might pn
t I Ik>W-WOWS before they would in any
r» q»ect ciiramscribe the "senatorial priri*
l« of lortg-wlndedncse.
Toe int-re«tof the new states demand a
t; «» :.g of these icebergs. They demand
that lb? ramparts ol this obstructive and
I>l pe-ilng formalism be beaten down. Th*
c >• d»tif n of theoi states requires prompt
»n on measure* that are vital to their
f f te. They therefore heartily applaud
tie innovating spirited the young senator
from \Wbington and h»s iMstinguishc.:
a"y *rom New Hampshire.
1 hev therefore demand that the Senate
»•» . what nnbend, somewhat ahate its
w dimity, and submit it«elf i* aon>e
>it t infusion ol U.'e and spirit. It i* be
1. v«v that tf e without any serious
ssrrfnce of dignity, may be made to reaii**
W at active attention to busmen is one o ;

country, they will find it profitable to abat-»

ariaer u*e* «an be made of government
fniuia than in carrying out tbia policy on a
»caie e* broad and liberal aa may be. Tbe
extent of otir •bore ilnea. tbe naiuber and
importance of oar principal barbon, and
the inadequacy of present works to meet
the requirement* of modern invention,
make this a field in which enormous turns
nev be judiciously expended, and in
wbk*b, as a matter of fact, the expenditure
of enormous turns is demanded by every
cm*ideratioa of ami w.se precau
tion. i
An adequate scheme o/ coa«t defenses,
mclatlmf fleets ef monitors and torpedo
boats, supplemented if need be by a goodly
number of swift cruisers, will necessitate
about ai! of the expenditure in this line
that is demanded or will be approved bv
intelligent public opinion. Thus guarded,
end growing in weaitb. population and ali
material resources, as has been the lot of
our country of late year*, there are few
things more improbable than that within
tbe lifetime of this generation any foreign
country will provoke a war with tbe I'nited
States. Failing which, the proposed costly
iino-of'hattie ships, huge and ungainly
rnon iters, obsolete in advance of comple
tion. would be not only useless but a vastly
expensive incumbrance.
Senator Chandler is certainly right in ad
rising that in this matter tbe work be com
menced at the bottom on a liberal scale;
that what is now needed be done now, and
that expenditures for purposes that are of
doubtful expediency, or certainly not ur
gent, be postponed to a more convenient
season. If tbe forty-five millions must be
spent, it were better to add that to tbe con
templated sum to be expended on coast
defenses.
Of SENATOR BECK.
Tbe death of Senator James B. Beck of
Kentncky, telegraphically announced in
another column, though sudden, is not a
matter of surprise, as for some years bis
health has been quite precarious. His
death will leave a vacancy which will be a
matter of serious moment to bis co-parti
sans in the Senate, for it is unquestionable
that be was foremost on that side of that
body in capacity for leadership and
safe counsel. Ha had served eight
years in the lower house, and bad
entered the second year of bis third term
in the (Senate. This prolonged congres
sional experience bad not been wasted, for
be was a man of great shrewdness, tact and
mental force. If it had been bis fortune to
have enjoyed good health bis long career
has not offered an opportunity for distinc
tion equal to that which this session would
hare afforded him. for he had giren special
attention to the tariff and currency ques
tions, and was tbe ablest parlia
mentarian on his side of tbe Sen
ate. He had maintained a good
reputation for integrity, and was invari
ably found on the right side, assisting with
forceful arguments and adroit manage
ment when plundering schemes were
afoot
A foreigner born—be was a Scotch
man—his successful career gives elo
quent testimony to the broad lib
erality of our governmental system.
Kentucky will l« able to supply
bis place with an able successor in the per
son of John (>. Carlisle, but the I>emocratic
uunorlty will in that cane be hard pressed
to ind a substitute for the latter for ite lea
dership in the House.
linntTLKSS AN AMI'ERSION.
Unices Senator Far well, of Illinois, is
being incorrectly reported and outrageously
iu aligned, he occupies a very anomalous
position as a Republican Senator. It has
been freely circulated that he ha* been in
censed by certain appointments that have
been made in defiance of hi« wishes, but
that should not prompt him to forget to
which side he belongs on a party division,
or where his vote and influence should be
(ound when assuming to act for Illinois
republicanism. Certainly bo should give
an t :*»» > tun: q isetus >o the declaration of a
lea&ug Chicago llepubLcan, who is quoted
a- s.'.ying: "Karwell is out with I'resident
i arri-oi. and wib oppose any measure of
p'«<n'ititnce that be think* the latter
fa v. is A« McKmtey i« the tool of Harri
•>i.. KarweU is not likely to vote for the
f uner's tarift* bill."
1' u not credible that Senator Farweil
c nteruplates going to any such lengths.
It is not credible that he wi.i permit i>er
soual animosity against the President, if he
entertain«i icck feeling, to dnve him into
antagonising and injuring hi# party, or
into opjoction to one of it* cardinal prin
c pie* It t* predicted that the Chicago
Senator wiil, when the appropriate time
arrives, ePVctuaflv refute thene aspersions,
and that he will be found among the
»*aiit-< h supporters, not only of the Mc-
K u!ey tariff bill, but ol ever - other meas
ure that clear', y involve « « denmte Repub
lican principle.

SEATTLE POST-INTELLTGEXCEE, THURSDAY. MAY K I**.
men ornoos pes rwtni.
C Wood OniaewMMH to the May
/Www aa artldo entitled. "When the
Farmer WB Be Fmpereee."* In aa ar-
Ode previously written far the earns oar
acina he bad shewn that whatever lack of
prosperity then is eaaoatf farmers te doe
to oeeipi uductioo. In the preeant article
he ■aaiinim to show that tbe conditions es
sential to prosperity are likely to be re
stored by natural laws, and cannot be by
governmental intervention.
It is evident that the writer has made a
profound study of his subject, and is more
than ordinarily qualified to givaaeliabie in
formation and aa intelligent opinion. He
don not deny that some relief might be af
forded by legislation which would put a
slop to dealing in options for farm pro
ducts, or to insure invariably just and rea-
sonabie rates for transportation, or to pre
vent combinations from controlling prices
of cattle and other farm products, but ow-
ing to tbe doubt of amelioration from these
sources he addresses himself to the ques
tion of relief from the operation of natural
causes.
In this field of investigation he has made
diligent research and submits statistics of
great value. Assuming the present popu
lation of the country to be sixty-five mill
ions, with the area in cereals producing
average crops, and current consumption 15
per cent, greater per capita than in 1874. he
estimates that present supplies are in ex
cess of population as follows: Corn
for five and a half million people; wheat
for fourteen million; cattle for six
million, and swine for eleven million. Then
he calculates that if population should
maintain its late ratio of increase, and pro
duction increase no more than his subse
quent showings indicate to be probable,
the home demand will absorb all of our
food products before the end of the cen
tury.
In support of this assumption he sub
mits a series of carefully prepared tables,
comparing increases and decreases in the
production of leading food staples during a
succession ot five-year periods, supple
mented by a review »f the growth of popu
lation, and an estimate of the areas subject
to and likely to be subjected to the produc
tion of additional supplies in these lines.
The tables presenting the history of in
crease and decrease of leading prod acts are
arranged with reference to groups of states
and territories, as "North Atlantic,"
"Lake," "Missouri Valley," "Southern,"
"Arkansas and Texas," "Mountain and
Pacific." which within the limits of a news
paper article cannot be followed.
But dealing in round numoers it is found
that the acreage of corn was forty-one mill
ions in 1874, sixty-two millions in 1879.
sixty-nine millions in 1884 and seventy
eight millions in 1880. According to these
figures the increase from '74 to '79 was
about 52 per cent., while from 'B4 to 'BO it
was about 12 per cent., and in all of the
older states has been contracting. In re
spect to wheat it is shown that the acreage
in 1875 was in round numbers twenty-six
millions, in 1880 it was thirty-eight mill
ions, in 1884 thirty-nine millions, and in
I*B9 thirty-elfcht millions, an increase of 44
per cent, in the first period, of nearly 4 per
cent. In the second, and of about
in the third period. The contraction of
wheat aiea in the older districts has ex
ceeded the stupendous increases due to the
opening up of the Dakota*, Minnesota and
the Pacific coast, and the growing demand
due to increase of population in this coun
try and Kurope must exceed any conceiv
able addition of wheat-growing areas.
As to cattle tbe increase from 'BO to
was over .10 per cent., while for tbe period
'BS-'B9 it was but 16 per cent., and the
breaking up of the great ranges of the In
dian territory will have a material effect in
further checking production in that direc
tion.
Reliable statistics show that to supply
home requirements and export demand in
tbe same proportions as now for tohacco,
cotton and animal products, there should
be 315 acres per capita. Tbe actual acre
age per capita of ail staples in 1888 was 3.36,
against 2.36 in 137!, 2.65 in 1*74.
3.20 in I*7o. and 3.51 in 1«84. The
land is not in the country to maintain
tbe ratio of increase that would be required
to give the product of 3.15 acres per capita
to our prospective population in the year
11100. The conclusion is well sustained that
after January, 1805, the agricultural ex
ports of the United States will be confined
to cotton, tobacco and animal products,
with certainly a slight, if any, excess of
other staple food products over and above
eno ugh necessary to supply the require
ments of the home market.
On the basis of estimates made by the
Agricultural Department, and assuming
that home requirements will consume the
products of 3.1.'> acres per capita, the esti
mated population in January. I**4. will
require in staple crops an area of 22»?.f*i0,-
acres, while the area now employed i*
J11.0t0.00 acre*, with an estimated addi
tion of 12,000,000 acres in the four year-,
making a total of 223.000,000, leaving a de
ficit in I<4 of 3,*00,000 acres. All of which
goes to show that within a future only a
few years removed there is promise of a
future as prosperous for the farming por
tion of this country as a whole as is now
enjoyed by the thriving and forehanded
members of that class throughout this
state of \Va«hmsrton.

At the present time there is no business
which offers to residents of this state better
inducement* (or engaging in it, or more
posture asvirar.ee* of prompt remuner
ation, than that of market gardening,

Taroma a*e extensive area* of nch lot ton;

will hear extensive development, ail! yield
splendid returns, and in which there is no
shadow of riak of making a failure.
Connected with this, or aa aa indepen-
Jeat line, the raiauut of poultry and eggs
for these markets would boar indefinite ex
tension. With a new to future extension
of business and increase of profits in years
to come, the cultivation of small berries—
the blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, etc.
—could be prepared for with the most posi
tive assurance of success. If suitable and
desirable locations are not purchasable
within the means of those disposed so en
gaga in the*e pursuits, it is hardly to be
doubted that rroperty-owners can be found
who would either sell on liberal terms as to
payment, or rent with an option of pur
chase at an agreed price tor such purposes.
If this article should catch the eye and
favorably impress those in whose behalf it
is published, and should they bo at a loss
where to find soitaiue locations, it is
deemed certain that they can obtain infor
mation and trustworthy suggestions from
tbe Chambers of Commerce or Boards of
Trade of our chief cities, or from any re
spectable dealers in real estate. Tbe field
is broad and inviting, and beyond all ques
tion would richly remunerate a very con
siderable population.
.MOXI MENTAL MADNESS.
It is surmised that very few citiaens of
the United States have kept track of the re
markable raid upon the federal treasury
that has been inaugurated in the present
congress on the line of monument build
ing. Remembering the weary, tedious time
consumed in completing a monument to
George Washington, the present outbreak
assumes very much the formtft an epidemic
or a mania. If it keeps on, and nothing
occurs to mitigate it, in a future not distant
the chief distinction will be ascribed to bim
in whose memory the government has not
erected a monument.
Up in Vermont, somew.here, Representa
tive Grout of that state wan fa* the govern
ment to build "a centennial column," suit
ably inscribed, to certify the national ex
istence. Another proposes a monument at
federal expense, to be set up in the capitol
of Tennessee, in honor of John Sevier, the
organizer of that state out of North Caro
lina territory, and the first representative
in congress from the Mississippi valley.
General Morgan, Ethan Allen, General
Warren, the hero of Bunker Hill, General
Greene and General Knox are also recom
mended for monumental recognition out
of the treasury sdrplus of a grateful gov
ernment.
Daniel, the talkative Senator from Vir
ginia, advocates an outlet for govern
mental generosity in monuments to Pat
rick Henry and to Mary, the mother of
George Washington; Key. the author of
the "Star Spangled Banner;" Lieutenant
Maury, the inventor of the misleading sig
nal service; General Davidson, killed at
Cowan's Ford; General William Henry
Harrison, the "hero of Tippecanoe;" Com
modore Tucker and "J. Gray," the last
survivor of the Revolutionary war, are on
the list of candidates for such immortality
aa is implied in piling up granite and mar
ble at government expense.
. And last, but by no means least, come*
the voluble friend of the press, Senator
Blair of New Hampshire, and proposes the
erection of • >50,000 monument at Man
chester, in his state, to be paid for by the
United Stetea, to the memory of John
Stark, the hero of the battle of Bennington,
whose wife her husband has made
famous in history by the familiar
name of "Mollie." And all who
suggest that this esteemed hero of the
revolution is suiEciently commemorated
by hia monument at Bennington and in
the pages of history, are branded by the
irascible Senator from the Granite State as
tories whose ancestors in all likelihood
gave aid and comfort to King George and
his myrmidons.
By this explosion and the amusement tt
has created. Senator Blair has perhaps ren
dered his first real service to the country.
It baa called attention to the ludicrous
lengths to which this monument building
craze has run. It has insured the defeat of
his bill, which may induce a tumble all
along the long line of monuments, and ex
cept for such glory as history may confer,
and a shrine in tbe hearts of a grateful
people, commemoration will be postponed,
not only of General Stark, but of John Se
vier, J. Gray and all.
THE WORLD BKKATHES MORK
FREELY.
The Ist of May has come and gone. The
greatest labor demonstration of the nine
teenth century has been witnessed by
Europe and America, and nothing has
transpired to ju-tify the wild apprehen
sions which sensational dispatches had ex
cited. With reports from a large number
of European capitals and large centers of

any previous century without entailing a

century would hare entailed the overthrow
of a do«en thrones, or the mowing down
of tens of thousands of insurgents, and
probably a long period of bloodshed and
desolation.

Jit raid: Last Monday morning when
the fragments of the Indian killed by a train on
the Puyallnp river brides the night previous
were ijtog ia a box in the freight room of the
depot at this place they were viewed by prob
ably a hundred or more eitirens, all of whom
were of the opinion that the box then contained
all that was mortal of Indian Dick, except the
parts of htm that still lay scattered around on
and under the bridge. Indian Dick, being a well
known character about limner, vai duly
praised and his untimely death properly
lamented. White qntte a crowd was still stand
iag around the box who should appear bat In
dian Dick himself, looking aa fresh as any of
his "telatooma" west oi the Rocky mountains.
When Dick was told that the crowd snpposed
tbe remains to be his, he marched up to me box
and after casting a long. <leep look on the muti
lated mass, said. "No, them ain't me."
The Slanghter >~tr% publishes a series of ad

"We sincerely wish that every citisen of this

Lyuden Piontrr-Prru: Oar citizens ought to
take a deeper interest In the publie schools.
Your whole duty to the schools is not dis
charged by attending the elections and voting
for good officer* and for a tax sufllcient to hire
good teachers. A visit now and then will
greatly t ncourage the pupils. Childien like to
be well thought of and to receive encourage-
ment They cannot understand why people de
sire them to go to school day after day and
week after week when these same people never
come to the itchoel to see what they are doing.
Don't leave all the vlsiUng of the schools to
the officer*. Every patron should visit the
schools at least once a term, and those not
patrons but expecting to be could do them
selves and the pupils good by paying the
schools frequent visits.
