The New Year's edition of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer, sixteen pages, gives
a complete resume of the commercial,
manufacturing, agricultural, shipping,
and all classes of industries of Washing
ton territory for the year 1888. It is
the most complete statement of facts
without exaggeration or " boomeration "
that has ever been made in this territory.
It conclusively demonstrates that al
though in our infancy we are an empire
of ourselves.
EDITORS, THIS IS UNIQUE.
A Chicago religious monthly, a new
institution, of course, announced its first
issue something after the following style:
This paper is published to fill a long
felt want. We don't know who wants
it, but we know there is a want and we
propose to fill it.
Thiß paper will be independent in poli
tics, but we 6hall support the prohibition
candidates.
It will bo very independent in religion,
always advocating the Baptist faith.
It proposes to make a specialty of gos£
bip, and if an inquiring mind desires to
read the most spiteful and imaginary
stories about everybody, it is hoped, for
his own sake, that he will consult our
columns before going elsewhere.
Hints and suggestions as to how this
paper should be managed are respectfully
solicited, as it will afford us pleasure to
adopt them all.
Changes will be made to suit every
one, his wife included.
We wish our readers to know that
criticism will be useless, as we shall
make no mistakes.
We design to make this monthly as
much like the groat dailies published in
our cities as possible, and to prove the
correctness of the general belief that,
while it requires tact and art to run a
hotel or a packing house, any one can
make and run a newspaper.
American Mall Service.
Very few Americans .will admit that
any of the functions of our government
are inferior to those of other countries,
yet we find that in that in which we
should lead the world we are not even
"following the advanco made by other
countries of less pretentions to intelli
gence nnd progress; we refer to the
mail system which is a disgrace to our
government as it is now conducted.
Wo handle more mail per capita than any
country in the world, and still we have a
worse system than even British India.
The whole mail system of the United
States is wrong, and not adapted to our
stage of civilization, and the incoming
administration should lose no time in
making a thorough examination of all
mail systems, and devise one that will
be in keepiug with our advancement
and an honor to our government. The
people expect this from the party of
progress—the republican party—but if
we cannot have a new system, let no
time be lost in improving the one we
now have.
Had President Cleveland and party
been loss anxious to accumulate a large
surplus in the national treasury in order
to demonstrate the fallacy (?) of the re
publican principle of protection, and had
expended the necessary funds to improve
the mail system and increase the facil
ities as the demand increased, instead of
decreasing them as was done, we would
at least have been able to receive mail
as fast as the trains could carry it.
For partisan purposes and irrespective
of the needß of the people, the adminis
tration decreased the number of post
office employes, while the mail matter
increased at least 50 per cent. And this
is one reason why mail is two or three
times longer in transmission than it
should be. Another reason can be found
in the carelessness of postmasters and
postoffice employes. We are entitled to
n better mail service, and we will get it
if the people demand it. By all means
demand it.
Threading: a Needle.
Did you ever see a man try to thread
a needle? A man whose fingers are like
fence-rails, and a needle with the small
est possible " eye," barely visible with
out the aid of a microscope! Its real
fun, if he tries it by lamplight; that is,
its fun to watch him. He is a single
man—perhaps an "old bach." The
more of a "bach." he is, the more inter
esting the fun. It is by the light of a
tallow-candle, and he says he isn't very
familiar with needles, but that button
must be sewed on his vest now. So he
takes up the coarse line of thread (he al
ways has the coarsest in the market),
and a needle —a small needle, the only
one he has. He bits off the end of the
the thread and twists it carefully be
tween his thumb and finger, just as he
has seen his mother and sister do. Then
he gets the needle up between him and
the light, so that he can 6ee the "eye,"
and then he push es the thread carefully
toward it. He is very cool and deliber
ate about it on the start, but he is some
what surprised when the thread misses
the eye. He draws it back, takes steady
aim and tries again, his mouth puckered
into a correct resemblance of the letter
Oas the interest deepens. The thread
touches the eye, all is favorable; it is
just going through —whon the needle
slips in his fingers; the thread misses it,
of course, and unravels several strards.
With a deep sigh he lays down the nee
dle, twists the perverse thread together,
and again essays the task. He takes
careful aim with one eye shut, and the
thread approaches the needle in confi
dence. It misses; ho draws it back
again, wondering what on earth ails the
the thing! About this time he discov
ers that he has shut the wrong optic in
his own head, which makes all the differ
ence in the world with his aim; so he
conluded to "go it" with both eyes
open. And he does. He rests the hand
containing the needle on the edge of the
table, and once more the thread is urged
forward. All is going well, this time;
he has a firm grip on the needle; no blip
ping now. He trembles a little in ex
p station, and squints hopefully nt^the
thread. There! he just "has it;" the
thread is in the "eye." With the first
tremulous symptoms of a satisfied smile
upon his face, he lets go of the thread
and reaches over to catch it on the other
side of the " eye," and as he does so, it
fills bsck and down to the floor, and his
hand still clutches a needle as much un
threaded as ever! For five long minutes
he sits there and gazes steadily at that
needle, his face adorned with the most
brilliant crimson; and then he gets up
and spits in the wood-box and sits down
again, his mind a perfect chaos, and his
lips wondering "what in thunder makes
the room so warm!" and needles have
such infernally 6mall '' eyes." Oh! is
fun —if you are not threading the needle.
