The Washington Insurance Gom Iany of Tacoma lias gooe to pieces, end K)licy holders arc charging the msnagens with rascality. At Whatcom recently. 320 thou awl feet o lumber was sold for --1.000. or $5 a thousand feet: consid rally less than the logs cost. Thk Illinois legislature has passed :; bill providing that ik telephone company shall charge more than 88 Ir month wiicn one telephone is used, and $2.50 when more than one is used, and fixing the charge for trnnsmitiiug messages from one town to another at ten cents. Thk daily newspaper is what the public want it and make it. If its pnblisltcr was jnt running it-for his health he would often do and say a good many things differently; bat, generally, he has to live by what ever little income his newspaper brings in to him and can't afford to do what his better nature and belter judg ment awgnesi. Perhaps it is just as well. Tub great game that England and Russia have for months been playing appears to end by each skle declaring for ience. Gladstone is the real mas ter ot the situation, and whatever ap plause the whole affair commands must be given the sturdy old man wlw was determined that there should be no w:r. ami won his point. Russia apjtears to have the beet of it, but Gladstone's real wisdom will bo come more evident in a few months when the Nihilists for want of some outlet begin once more howling about Alexander's ears. Tub petrified wood found in the Kocky mountain regions is rapidly becoming utilized. In San Francisco there is now a factory for cutting and polishing thwe petrifactions into mantel-pieces, tiles tablets and other architectural parts for which marble or slab is commonly used. Petrified wood is said to be susceptible of a iinor polish than marble, or even onyx, the latter of which it is driving from the market. The raw material employed comes mostly from the forests of petrified wood aloudg the Atlantic and Pacific railway. Several other companies have also been formed to obtain concessions of differ ent portions of these forests. Geolo gists will regret the destruction of such interesting primeval remains, and some steps ought to be taken to preserve certain tracts in their origi nal state. For an illustration of the astonish ing fall in the rale of interest, econo mists can point hereafter to the new Connecticut loan ot $170,000, due in 1910. The entire block of bonds is sued this summer for refunding pur poses, has been sold to two Kew Yerl: banking houses at 100.R76. the inter est rate being 3 per cent. In other words. 8 per cent, long term bonds of an American stale of undoubted hon esty are worth to bankers in the pres ent condition of the money market a fraction more than par. The ulti mate holder for investment will thus realize something less man 6 per cent, per annum. The contrast be tween tho. price of these bonds and 3 per cent. British consols is sug gestive. The example of Connecti cut, by the way, in makiug its loan 3 per cant, instead of 81... or i per cent. is worthy of imitation by other states and by municipalities. MoLban of Ohio doesn't want any oflice. and thus expresses himself in his paper, the Cincinnati Enquirer: 4'IcLGan is a candidate for no oflice, elective or appointive, under the shining siars. He is actively engaged in the publication of the Cincin nati Enquirer, and has no time to waste on public offices. He would iot accept one even with a chromo attachment. lie aeks for nothing but good health and a continuation of business as it exists to day at ihe old stand. 2o. 247 Yine street. At this number, second floor, ho has an office which suits him belter than any which king or prince might have to offer. "Willi this he is abundantly satisfied.
