fz; Wxt gattjj J.$torau. ASTOIUA. OKEGON THURSDAY .....MAKCII 10.18S7 Senator Ixgalls, in speaking of ''the prohibitory law in Kansas and Iowa s.ays every body is hap py under the law. The prohibi tionists have all the law they want and the whisky men have nil the liquor the' want. A high London military author ity states that )f the- outbreak of hostilities can be delayed until the end of April or the beginning- of A. May, "Russia will have a million "-troops on the German and Aus trjan frontiers, besides a force in Asia approaching 000,000 men. Upward of a quarter million are "in-Asia Minor and the remainder " in Cenfral Asia. Tun statement in the German press as to Bismarck's intention tp punish- Alsace-Lorraine for the results of the recent election has created considerable excitement in Paris, and signs of rising irritation are everywhere visible. For the first time since the era of mutual provocation commenced warlike feeling is manifested in places of public resort. A "Washington special says: People whose counsel is frequent ly sought for at the White house, 'i .state that, the president, though anxious to avoid it if possible, still contemplates an extra session of congress in the early autumn. The financial situation, it is expected, will be then such as to need prompt action on the part of congress. With regard to the surplus, some action will not only be desirable, " but absolutely necessary. The fail ure of the river and harbor and deficiency bills becomes more serious as time passes. There is also well grounded fear -entertained at the White house that the interstate commerce act once put -in operation will cau'se no end of trouble and litiga tion, and that its provisions will need to be radically amended, and promptly, by congress. -M. H. Slater, secretary of the ' National Bi-metallic Coinage as sociation, in his pamphlet, entitled "A brief treatise on bi-metallism," sa3's: "The sum total of all the money in circulation always bears a certain ratio to the sum total of all the property in existence. This ratio is variously estimated; but, say, for example, 1 to 27. If all the property in existence should be forced to a cash sale, at the same hour, this ratio would be reduced until it would stand 1 to . The money would equal in amount the necessarily reduced value of the property. The value that money represents is fixed by law; the value of the property is determined by the amount of monej' in existence, which may be exchanged for the property. Hence, money establishes, fixes, determines, assesses, estimates the value of property. Xote the dis tinotion between the terms, money in existence, and money in circulation.- Money which is hoarded in vaults is not performing its chief function as a medium of ex change for values, nor can it ef fect the value of property. The hoarded eagles of the miser can no more perform the functions ol money than a prisoner in a dun geon, can perform the duties of a member of societv." Salaries Xot So Laip;c as Snjiposeil. "The salaries of actors and actress es is a theme that is frightfully mis represented by nearly all the theat rical profession. A person who gets $50 per week must be a jewel," said a worn out actor, who, when in his palmiest days, received $25 a week and paid his own expenses. "Theat rical people who receive from $30 to $100 a week, ar.e generally said to be getting from $150 to $300 a week, and amusement-loving people, as a rule, are silly enough to believe it. I have traveled' continued the old Thes pian, -"all my life, and have been in casts with tho very best of 'em, and I know that all this talk about $200 and $300 a Aveek salaries is all bosh. It is true there are many companies on the road in which the star gets a clever per cent of the receipts, but even that is not a sure thing, and they-have their short nights as well as1theirTfiush ones. Frank Daniels, Jennie Teamans, Kate Castleton, Genevieve Rogers, Jimmy Powers, Isabelle Coe and a great many other salaried professionals are said to get all the way from $150 to S200 per week for their services, but I don't believe that one of them, except pos sibly Daniels, gets even $100. The people who make the big money are those who conduct a show on the principle that Maggie Mitchell, Nate Salsberry, Joe Murphy, Gus "Will iams, Minnie Maddern, Modjeska, Adelaide Moore, Charles Davis and others do. Thoy star themselves, own the show, hire cheap support and trav el on the strength of their reputations. Of course, they give a good show, but the people would go to hear them just the same, whether the support was first class or rotten. All one has to do in this country is to establish a favorable reputation and their fortune is made." "How about minstrel men and comedians; are they well paid?" "But few of this class receive even a decent salary. It is a funny thing, but true, that burnt-cork artists be come so fascinated with their pro fession that as long as they are given a prominent place on the bill boards and get good notices in the newspa pers, they are satisfied and happy. White-faced comedians get more money, as a rnle, than minstrels. This is because there is but one of this sort in the cast, while in a min strel show every man on the salary list is supposed to be more or less comical. Song and dance men, good ones, get from $20 to $50 per week, but they are also obliged to work on the end and in the farce to fill in, and not infrequentlv double iu the band and orchestra. The minstrel man is the greatest slave in the pro fession. His work is hard, salary small, the show makes one-night stands, and live nights of the week they travel in the night, after doing a day's work. The suckers, or cheap minstrels, are the fellows who travel with small shows, and who are just learning the ropes. In a great many instances they are excellent artists, but do not find it out until they have wasted their health, vitality and op portunities. Their salaries will not average $10 per week." Brace Up. You are feeling depressed, your ap netite is poor you are bothered with Headache, you are fidgetty, nervous, and generally out of sorts, and want to brace up. Brace up, but not with stim ulants, spring medicines, or bitters, which have for their basis ver y cheap, bad whiskey, and which stimulate you for an hour, and then leave you in worse condition than befon-. What you want is an alterative that will puri fy your blood, start healthy action of Liver and Kidneys, restore your vitali ty, ami give renewed iicalth ana strength. Such a medicine you will find in Electric Bitters, and only 50 cents a bottle at W.E. Dement & Co.' Drug Store. An Irrepressible. A young lady and a small, bright eyed boy entered a street car on Lake avenue yesterday afternoon. The lady deposited her fare and the boy's and the bell rang. "Aunt Ella," said the boy, "what makes tho bell ring?" "The driver rings the bell," was the reply. "What does he do that for?' "Why, he does it to register the fare." "What does lie do that for?' "Because he has to." "Oh." Then there was a silence for half a minute. Presently the boy said: "What is that round thing there?" "That is the register." "What is that for?" "To register the fare." "Yon said the ring registered up the fare." 'No, I didn't say that." "Yes, you did, aunt Ella." "Now, Johnny, don't you contra dict me; you are a naughty bov." "Well, thaf s what you said." A silence of two minutes followed. It was broken by the boy, who said: "Say, Aunt Ella, what made you tell me that the ring registered the fare?" "Oh, I don't know." "You did say so didn't yon, aunt iiaia?" "Yes, Johnny." "Then, what made you say you didn't say it?" "I didn't say that I, didn't say so. Don't bother me Johnny." After another brief silence the boy returned to the attack. "Say, aunt Ella, did you go to Sun day school wlien you was littler' "Yes, child, of course I did." "Did you take any prizes?" "Yes, lots of them." LHd you tell wrong stories as much then as you do now?" "Johnny, you are a bad boy. I shall tell your mother." "I wish you would tell her two times; that's what I wish." "Why, Johny?" " 'Cause you wouldn't tell the same story two times; that would let me out." Bochester Herald.
