Oregon FARCICAL FORMALITIES. The American people are getting mortally tired of the campaign for malities; the nominating speeches, the notification speeches, the speeches of acceptance, and all like rot, in their quadruple play and repetition; it is Irksome and stilted and unnecessary. Especially out here in the Northwest, thousands of miles from the scene of political Ini tiative and the leading personalities of the hour, is the farce of it all more plainly apparent. The old campaign rooster and his raucous crowing are things of the past and not as acceptable as once they were; the people are getting their eyes open to the travesty of It all and their hearts are calloused against the bitter mockery and sha meful faithlessness of the men and systems that stand for it; it goes no further with the average man of sense, who flushes now when he thinks of the assinine acquiesence he lent to the frauds of the past. We have had a man-President, who has taught us a few things about selfpoise and the dignity of things political, and wrought within us a yearning for cleanliness and honesty and frankness in our public relations, aside from all the other things he taught us. We can stand for an in finitely simpler code and practice in the transaction of our greater affairs, and the faster we see them reduced to sheer democratic standards and divested of the complexities and the "dust-throwing" artificialities, the sooner will the nobler balances be tween the people and their servants, high and low, be struck, to the last ing good of the land. THE INSURANCE BURDEN. Marshfleld business men are won derfully patient as a general thing, and in nothing they contend with is this trait so apparent as In their abiding the notorious and burden some fire Insurance rates prevalent Iiore. They exceed anything applied to like territory In the whole North west and are a weight against which all common sense and every rule of "business protests with exact justifica tion; but the patienco of the people seems Impervious to the strain and permits the continuance of It without tangible and open protest. An analysis of the rates in this dis trict, and their application, would op en the eyes of the Insured to a line of imposition of which they are at the moment unaware, but, if we are not mistaken, would create a sudden Bontlment against which even the San Francisco over-lords of the busi ness, would no longer contend, sha meless as they are In this particular Instance. Thero Is also talk of the existence of certain discriminations that aro In vogue here, but what thero Is to that must be left to further inquiry vow afoot. The salient fact remains that Marshfleld is under a high Wnder dictum In tho matter of rates and tho sooner she chucks the whole business and carries hor own risks until she Is fairly met on equitable terms, tho better for nil concerned, and not the least tho companies do ing business here. THE "PIVOTAL STATE. Tfioro Is a genoral superstition that Now York Is over and nlways a presidential pivot. History does not support this theory. Tho stato was lost by General McClollan In 1861. Then in procession It was carried by Mr. Seymour, lost by Mr. Grcoloy, carried by Mr. Tildon, lost by Gon oral Hancock, carried by Mr. Cleve land, lost by Mr.' Clovoland. carried by Mr. Clovoland, which brings us down to those years of political bliz zards whon Mr, Bryan lost It twlco and Mr. Parker onco. Until tho Nob raskan's time tho stato swung like a pondulum betweon tho parties. Alfred Honry Lewis.

K H ABRAHAM LINCOLN. K X THE GYPSY TOOK ME. The gypsy took me by the hand and fixed me with a leer, But boon I ceased to ridicule and soon I ceased to jeer, For the gypsy read my character as plain as brightest day. I tell you now, the gypsies know no matter what you say. "Your character," said she, "Is strong. Your intuition's never wrong. You're firm but kmd. I also And You have a most unusual mind. And oh, what tact! It is a fact I never saw a hand so lined. You're biave and ready for a light For what you think is just and right. At any hour of day or night. Your line of love is very clear. You've broken many hearts, I fear. You'll live to be a millionaire. Such hands as these are very rare. Such hands a gypsy seldom sees. I wish you joy one dollar, please." I joined our waiting crowd outside and dropped them just a hint, My addle-headed rival quickly turned a greenish tint. The silly" fool said, "Wait a bit," and trotting in he went And listening hard we heard these words come floating through the tent: "Your character, I see, is strong. Your intuition's never wrong. You're firm but kind. I also find You have a most unusual mind" Oh, naughty gypsy to deceive! To thus abase your gift! For after many thoughtful hours I have perceived your drift. To me, of course, you told the truth the truth alone would serve. But when you saw that donkey's hand you didn't have the nerve! ANON. The man who claims he Inherits a taste for liquor usually acts as if he thought family traits should be care fully preserved. Ella So Algie has been heartless ly deceived by a woman, has he? Did she lead him to think she lofbd him? Bella No; that's just the trouble. She let him believe she didn't care a rap for him, and then when he proposed for a lark she accepted on tho spot.

We have noticed quite a number of those articles so real hot that it is no wonder spontaneous combustion set in on the California goods, but, some of them are so chilly they might ,be used for refrigerators. His coat is rough and shaggy, But his tail is very waggy, For he wasn't educated with a whip. He never knew a tether Or a muzzle made of leather; He's a free and independent little rip. He thinks it mighty funny To pursue a frightened bunny Or to chase an angry squirrel up a trunk. Though he's hardly finished growing, He has reached the point of knowing There's a difference 'twixt a wood chuck and a skunk. He will cock a saucy ear up At a whistle or a chirrup; You should hear the merry music of his bark. When he comes to me careering Through the door yard or the clear . lug Like an infantile tornado on a lark Such a friendly little fellow! Though he's pretty nearly yellow. But he's coming for a confidential talk, And his pleading eyes are saying That today was nieant for playing, So I rather guess we're going for a walk. L. A. L qv st. ADVERTISEMENTS, LIKE CLOCKS, SHOULD KEEP RUNNING. A store's advertisements tell the people what is "doing at that store what is new, what is inviting, why today is a good time to visit the. store. People look for the ads to tell them these things just as naturally as they would look at a clock to tell the time. Sometimes a clock does not $ run sometimes a store's ad does not run. A "run-down" clock or ad are about equally unsatisfactory, unserviceable, , misleading. Curious thing about it is that a merchant who would think it absurd to have a run-down" or out-of-repalr clock will, some- times, deliberately let his ad stop running. It's not wise, nor good business, nor defensible on any known grounds but It is sometimes done. When is it possible for a woman to have a legal marriage without change of name? When she possesses the same name as the groom. NOTICE. All persons Indebted to the Blanco hotel, or Ferry & Flanagan, will please call and pay same or on before tho first of October.
