OBEGOX CITY, FEBRUARY 28,1897 Tub gcarcity of children in Lt Bulls France has set tier statesmen to cudgel ing their brains for a scheme to protect the "infant industry. " Reiublicun statesmen can give them no end of pointers. Tub supreme court has denied the petition for rehearing in the case of Oregon Oity against the county for collection of road taxes due the city huch order will necessarily throw the case back into the local courts and the matter will now lie brought before Judge McBrido upon a writ of review. Rm-khhkntativk Kader, a woman-suf frngist populist member of tho Washing ton legislature, has introduced a bill into that body which provides for the es tablishment of a chair of maternity in the state university and the several normal schools. If the bill provided for a chair of "paternity," it would not appear so ridiculous. It turns the cold shoulder to the inulo brute and that settles it. Is thkrk no ground for the belief, asks the N. Y. World, that this government is not conducted in the interest of the people but the interest of a class the rich? Can it be successfully denied that the rich are chiefly benefited by liight tariffs, that by the monopolies fostered by such laws enormous for tunes are heaped up and used to control the government? Do not big railway corporations control the course of legis lation? Are not laws sold every day in the year, from city councils to state legislatures? St. Paul wrote to Titus, his disciple in the island of Crete, "the Oretiansare always liurs, evil beasts, idle bellies." The chief of tho apostles must have known how it waB himself, for he adds "This testimony is true." . The morale of tho islanders cuni.ot have improved nndor the sway of the gentle Turk. The Cretians have the stuff in ihem for ex pert republican politicians and the hyp ocritical "great powers" of Europe ought to permit them to tear off the bonds of vassalage. Thkuk will, in nil probability, be con siderable uctivity in railroad building within our kirders during the year The Astonu and tioblo road will be completed, tho completion of tho Coos Itity and Koscburg road is being con sidered by J. J). KpreckloH, and the Ore gon Central stands a chance of being xtende I over the mountains to Eastern Oregon. Tho building of the road from Weiser, Idaho, to the Seven Devils country, which is on the bonier of Eastern Oregon, will contribute its sliar toward the development of tho agricul tural and niineral resources of the neigh- lKiring portions of this state. Pkrsimsnt MeKinley will have a most ilillicult task before him. To cancel his debt to those who contributed campaign boodle, bo will bo obliged to increase tho protective tariff. If this is raised to the extent that it lessens importations, revenues will lie decreased ; but to pay the expenses of the government, revenues must be increased instead of diminished. A protective tariff must shut out im portations, otherwise it does not protect. .MeKinley cannot avoid this dilemma. Absence of the promised prosperity is another thorn that will make tho wear ing of tho purple a source of constant irritation. Ckktk, or Cmidiit, tho island in the Mediterranean sea which the kingdom of lircece will evidently succeed in wresting from the grasp of t lie cruel Turk, was, in ancient times, one of the 'enters of tireciim civilization. Homer, who lived, in the opinion of archaeolo gists, not later than IL'OO 1!. 0., states in his Odyssey tli.it the i.sl.ind had at o-e time !K) cities. The lur.l must have strained poetic license when he made this assertion, us Crete is not any larger than Connecticut. According to the mythology of the Creeks, it was, in pre historic times, the stamping ground of Jupiter, Saturn and other gods, nnd possibly, the island may, about that leriod, have K-en stretched to accom modate them. That supositioii would account for the 90 cities. In the heyday of the (irecian states it was a seat of culture and statesmanship, but in tho days of Julius Caesar it was a seat of pirates. The inhabitants liave often had a change of masters. In 1M9 the Turks took it after a 24 years war. Before that it had Nvn, in suc--e'kn, in the hands of the Romans, the J'ytantine empire, the Saracens, and the twiriM fV.!. nlMmriil. in .Tiriin.. an. I fountains, mountains and lime rock.

Italian Shepherd. Aa to their moral and intellectual characteristics, theso vary not only ao cording to their native distriot, but also according to their, social station. Be tween the prosperous shepherds from the mountains of Pistoja, imbued with the proverbial courtesy of the Tuscan, speak' ing the purest Italian, acute, intelligent, a fluent story teller, and often an extem pore poetizer, down to the wretchedly poor, brutalized peasant from the Ro- pingna, clad from head to foot in filthy iheepskins, and who, with difficulty, keeps body and soul together with the proceeds of his small flock of half starved sheep, whose only pasture is on the pathways and byways or furtively Dropped from iortjidden ground, be tween such two extremes the gradations are numberless, but notwithstanding certain traits of character are common to alL Common to all is the life they lead, solitary and wandering, now on the lonely heights of the Apennines, now on the still lonelier plaint of the Maremma. They are hardly ever seen even in the larger villages, and it is only from some lofty hilltop that they have a distant glimpse of the towns, those modern Babylons, oti whioh they gaze with mixed feelings of curiosity and aversion. Always alone, they necessarily be come taoituru, and, therefore, medita tive. Thoir life out of doors, without manual labor or fixed application, leads them to apply their minds to Btudy the phenomena of nature, the habits of an imals, the properties of plants or the course of the stars. The necessities of their nomadic existences teach them to apply this knowledge, and they become terrible poachers, clover veterinarians, tanners, herbalists, basket , makers, stocking knitters, sometimes excellent joiners and shoemakers. Good Words. She Transferred. "I want a transfer to tho depot, " said tho lady with a feather iu her bonnet "Certainly, madam; which depot?" asked the conductor. "I want it to the depot," repeated the lady of the feather. "But I don't know which depot you mean," replied tho conductor. "Never you mind what you know nnd what you don't know, " snapped tho woman ; ' 'you do as yon are told. You give mo a transfer, do yon hear?" "Cut" "1 won't have your but. Just you give me that transfer or I will report you. " And the conductor gave it to her, whiloevery one on the car hoped he bad sent her to the wrong place. Memphis Commercial-Appeal. Frightened Off. Ballantine Do you ride a wheel, Miss Brewster? Miss Brewster No, sir. I am not in the show business, but perhaps when you sny "wheel" you mean bicycle, which, as its name implies, is composed of two principal wheels. I do ride the bicycle, sir. May I ask if you ride? Ballantine Yes, but you'll have to excuse me now. I want to go and buy a ticket to tho uight school Cleveland Leader. Dlspro portioned Limb. By actual measurement of 50 skele tons the right arm And left leg have been found to be longer in 23, the left irm and right leg in 6, the limbs on the right longer than those on the left in 4 and in the remainder tho inequality of the limbs was varied. Only 7 out of 70 skeletons measured, or 10 per cent, had linihH nf pnmil li'UL'tll. During tho trial of a case the other day in England the judge took out his pipe and begun smoking. If an Amer ican judge should do such a thing, The Saturday Review would see in it an evidence of American boorishuess.
