Some idea of the trial of people in metropolitan cities may be gleaned in a perusal of the following comment tak en from the Brooklyn Standard;lnion: There are others than the Italian ctl ebrators who make their celebration with bomb of a highly explosive ehar- 'tu i non- f.-trm nf torture tft riifk the .-I. florist, showing a flower to Will Mad nerves of the men, women and children i . Of course if both Japan and Russia should spontaneously agree to invite China into the conference no other na tion Would have ground for objection. not even the United State, though such action would be. contrary to the sugjrestion which it President made and which- was accepted by the belligerent. But nince one of tiie belligerents is reso lutely opposed to such alteration of the plan of peacemaking, any further insis tence uKn it would be deplorable, a calculated merely to delay and einliar ras the negotiations which all the world desire to see promptly conducted ( to a harmonious and satisfactory con clusion. After that will come China's tuni to seek adjustment of her claim,! and we have no doubt she will secure it on an equitable basis. CURRENT COMMENT.

The type hapiened to V the announce ment of the railway rate. . Of, course it appeared in the paper. The agent called upon the Colonel next day, ami slid: ' "I thought I told you to take thai 'ad out of the paper."' "I did," answered the Colonel, "No, you didn't," responded the agent allowing Curtis the paper. "Ahem," coughed the Colonel.

The next issue of the paper contained the advertisement.

Then a flat car with rails arrive. These rails are thrown out up on the pavement, creating such a ter rible noise as to make sleep impossible. The construction of the switch- or the laying of new rails i the next thing in order, and this is accompanied by noise that to a person not possessed of a mu sical ear sounds Wagnerian. In the lan guage of the hymn, "Still There's more to follow."' There subsequently appear three box cars containing heavy dyna mos and numerous eleetric lights. One seems to be for the purpose of blowing every particle of dirt from the rails to be repaired, another for the heating and welding of the rail, and the other for grinding down the joints after the weld ins process. Those who have suffered from the noises accompanying these ef forts we know do not wish to have them recalled. The excuse is made by the rail road men that by doing this work at night traffic is less interfered with than it is when light. They contend that peo ple are anxious to get to and, from busi ness as quickly as possible.' This is ad mitted, but there are many instances where the cars of one line can be switch ed upon the tracks of another line with very little inconvenience. The people liv ing on the lines being repaired would then be enabled to get a full night's rest and be more capable of business trans- 'actions. This workr should be confined; to daylight. It would seem, however, that people who labor in unseemly hours possess the idea that no one else should rest while hey are up and about. They whistle, sing, shout and slam things around in the most reckless manner, to the ereat atinovance of those who de. - - - o eire rest and quiet. o the reports of American prejudice against the Chinese in this country have not been overdrawn.

Seaside Signal, There was not a drunken printer or barber in Chinook on the Fourth of July which caused the editor of the Observer to lift up his greatful voh-e and happily sing: "Nearer my God to Thee." PLAN' OF PEACEMAKING. It must be regarded as cause for lit tie surprise and for more regret that something like a demand has been made for China's representation in the peace negotiations between Russia and Japan and that Russia lias been made to ap pear to favor it. Even though, as we liave hitherto said, such a desire on Chi .na't. pari may not be unnatural, the rave arguments against it should be apparent to the statesmen of that env pire, and they should still be more ftp parent and convincing to the Russian government. The President of the United States, acting benevolently and impartially, for the sake of humanity, on June 8 last diplomatically urged the Russian and Japanese governments "to open direct "negotiations for peace with one anoth er," and further suggested "that these "peace negotiations be conducted direct ly and exclusively between the bcllig emits." The studied and explicit phra neology of that communication, and the fact that it was addressed to the Rus siun and Japanese governments alone and to no other, unmistakably indicated his intention that only Russia and Jap an were to be parties to the negotiation. It is understood that these two govern ments accepted his suggestion juut as it was made. Since, then, the agreement was thus made for negotiations "exclu sively between the belligerents," it would seem to be an extraordinary performance now to introduce into the conference a third power which is not a lelligerent, but which, on the contrary, lias been kept out of the war through the earnest diplomatic efforts of the United States. The'editor of the Pacific Journal at Ilwaco lost a bill book containing a lot of uncollected bills the other da v.

NOTHING BUT LIES. Col. Curtii and the "Hole." Some years ago Colonel Curtis man agea an enterprising newspaper here. Among his advertising clientele he numbered several railway companies. The agent of one of these companies gave the Colonel an advertisement the announcement of special rates to be of' fered for certain dates. The time for the granting of these concessions ex pired and the advertisement continued to run in the Colonel's paper. In about month the railway agent suggested that the advertisement lie removed. "Alright" said the Colonel and walk ing into the composing room, he lifted the type from the form and placed it on the "dump." Now in printing offices. especially those connected with news paper establishments there is a thing known as a "hole." This "hole" means merely that a spaee in the forms must be filled with type and when there is no type in sight it is up to the printer to fill the "hole" as best he can. Tliere is also a "dump." Upon this is placed such matter as is available at conve nient times, in most instances when the "hole" must be filled and no live matter is at hand. The same evening the Colonel's makeup man found a Bmall sized "hole." Snvina a stiikfull of tvne 1 Captain Goodale and the Baby. At one of the local hostlerie dwells Captain Goodale and a baby. Now this babv is not different from other babies, so far a looks are concerned, but can't tlie baby howl? He ran make more noise with hi diminutive vocal chords than a German band ran make with a has drum and half a dozen bar ytone. Captain Goodale i continually on the lookout for thing unusual We are indebted to him for many 'con tribution for "In Lighter Vein"; he selected "Be Kind to the Animals ;" so naturally he recognize this baby' su periority over others; he considers this baby a pre-eminent howler and often and fondly refers to him as a "brat'" Of course we might take exception to the Captain's opinion, bring that the baby belongs to the "ad man," and then we mightn't. We deem it a good policy to refrain from agreeing with either the Captain or the proud father. It is up to the reader to decide whether the joke is on ('upturn Goodale, the "ad man" or the Why.
