To thcniaii of llftv they urc but twen ty tinier more than his own brief span, and only right or nine-tenths ii'iore than the little life of our Repub lic. Yet man's history on earth goes back no longer than three or four thousand years. Three thous and years takes us back to eleven hundred 1). C. when Egypt was in her glory and Greece a landofsav- igery. Five hundred years later iind her listening to Herodotus read ing ids history. A few years later and Alexander tlio Great had blaz ed moteor-llko through the dark ness of history. Pass on but a few years more and Rome began to be heard of. Rut nil her grandeur is comprised within the few years from the end of Carthage to the reign of Constantino tho Great only a few hundred years. Soon after came the invasion of tho savages and Rome's downfall, when night and darkness settled over all tho world, save a few towns of Italy and Asia Minor. A thousand years of darkness and sleep, brief and eventless as a night of our own sleep I Then Europe be gan to awake. A now civilization based on ideas of Mongol nomads who had migrated toward western Europe ideas of domestic and polit ical life the ideas of Buddha and of Christ as to tho brotherhood and equally of mankind. Yet, during all these times, tho earth Iiiih drunk the blood of mil lions by war. War has raged inces santly. Through what awful scenes has t-ociety emerged I 'Tls onlv within a century that tho now en lightenment 1ms got a foothold. Till of late the civilized man was hardly a mutch .ignlnst tho savage and ho was obliged to occupy islands or peninsulas and walled towns. And now eivli.ation begins to get poMwiou of tho earth. That little seed that developed amid Asian deserts and Gorman wilds Is spreading. Its nature ditVcrs en tirely troni tho old civilization. It abhors slavery, respects woimn and proclaims tho equality of all. In ono respect It dltlers from tho past namely, In Its no of labor saving means. And now by means of tho general ditluslonof knowledgo noth ing is over lost, everything Is im proved upon mid all tilings seem possible. Rut may it not bo that tho way is not quite so clear and peaceful as it seems" Invention Is giving to Individuals mighty powers of destruction und we have merely ontered upon that field of discovery in destructive methods. As form erly tho savages of tho wilds com bined to destroy tho ellete and corrupt societies of civilization, will tho outcasts and disinherited, whom juiolety is nourishing in her own bosom, combine again to destroy ex isting state V A few desperate and nblo men could destroy vast popu lations in tho twinkling of an eye. Nothing but sufllolont motive is lnoklng. Despotic methods onn but luoroaso tho nigo and hatred of thoaHlnt whom tlioy tiro used. Severity lwgots tlerceness. Nothing but strict Jiidtht) udmtnisteivd in a spirit of lovo and equality win pre vent awful convulsions In the future. ll.i tluwe who brought that awful pint, the English sparrow, In to the United Stnte but taken a little dim toiuvtvitignte their nature mull reputation ,they would as soon Jmve Introduced a potitllenuv. It .would bo well for legislator to ex orcise greflt care beforo bringing t ran go birds heiv. J mmiiij MJiLj.unfzr.uan nimjmru-j-.uiJJi j The town of Lincoln, Nebraska, tho capital of that state, supports oightecu papers, besides several monthly publications. Many of these aro dailies. Surely balcm ought to support two. Stinginess in taking your own papers is not a nice trait. Men who spend from twenty-five to fifty cents per day for cigars actually are amazed if you ask them to take three or four pa pers. A business man who has several customers will take one copy of tho JouitNAL and grunt at pay ing fifteen cents per week. Ask him to take three or four copies and he looks amazement. No wonder Lincoln lias forty thousand inhabi tants. Hastings, Neb., when it had three thousand people sustained two newspapers liberally. It now has thirteen thousand and its people are proportionally liberal advertisers and subscribers. Tin: Astoria Pioneer makes sonic very sensible remarks against the practice of using fish traps and other destructive devices to catch salmon. In early days this was well enough, but as the country settles we must sternly prohibit all destructive modes of catching game and fish. There is a class of idle people who arc ever ior killing tho goose to get the egg and that clas3 rapidly bottles in the country. TmtKK nickels per week for such a paper as the Capital. Jouiinal less than the cost of two cigars a day. And yet when we nsk some men to subscribe they seem frighten ed at the enormity of such an ex pense. And Salem on a boom too 1 Such men would boom a town in to everlasting rot. The St. Louis Republic gives a list of twenty ono democratic Con gressmen who have deserted their party and now vote against the Mill's bill. Seventeen of these are Southern members.

DAWSON'S T0IIACVO Ml.!, A citizen of our town said: "Tho people of tho state ought to com mend Mr. Dawson for his bill to pro hibit the snlo of tobacco and cigar ettes to minors, and eueourago him and his colleagues to carry it thro' without failure." We can, asa publioscliool teacher, pledge tho hearty support of this bill by every school teacher in tho state. Teachers, doubtless, know more of how smoking cigarettes, es pecially, is breaking down tho phys ical constitution and dwarfing the mental powers of boys in our schools, than any other class of citizens can know about It, for we aro all care fully looking out for the health and mental development of tho boy Let tho teachers and citizens gener ally of the state commend Mr. Daw son of Linn county for ills Intorest in the boys of our homes and schools who if steeped with opium and to bacco for a few years win never make good eltUens.

W. a. Noje. HMJVhits Block, llochtvtvr, N CAPT. 31UMA.VS CbUJI. Editor Capital Jeurnal: It seems that the greed of "Capt." John Mullan can never be satisfied, for to my certain knowledge ho has been before tho Oregon Legislature many times with bills for services rendered that are not by any means small, and no ono knows who employed him as our claim agent. Ho pre sents a claim for services to tho pres ent Legislature of several thousand dollars. Tho Pacific Rural Press has the following about this leech of the public crib: "Resisting Robbery We hope every one of our patrons will read if they have not yet read, that part of Gov. Waterman's mes sage, in which he speaks ot Capt. John Mullan's appointments. Tho impudent effrontery of such persist ent efforts to capture, and convert to his own use, three-quarters of a million of the state's money is united only by the sturdy fidelity of California's chief magistrate in 'standing ofl' the raider."
