ago John S. Vinson noticed a peculiar
oily covering on the water of a spring at
his place near Nolfu, which could be
skimmed off like cream from a pan of
milk. On punching a bole in the ground
with a stick and placing a match at the
top of the bole, a flash was the result.
Vinson kept his discovery quiet, and has
since been prodding about his place in
search of a similar phenomena. He
now writes to a friend in Pendleton that
he has discovered natural gas and coal
oil in a number of places on his laud.
He will have the discovery examined by
an expert, and will endeavor to secure
the services of E. G. Locke, of the Un

Blaine is gradually preparing to resume

He now has bis private secretary with

that he is actuallv at work vet. and the
most he will undertake for some time, if
his health continues to improve, will be
merely in an advisory caoacitv. The

not, it is said, retarded his recovery, but
it seems to be beneficial to him. This
being the case, it is believed he will be
able to resume his position in the ad

The harvest is now begun all over the j

McKinley law to say that it deserves no
credit for the price of grain that is in

and India had yielded as abundantly this
year as they have done in years gone by
all the protective laws on earth would
not have very materially raised the
price of a commodity whose former
cheapness was attributable to its over
abundance, more than to anything else.
The man who has a thousand bushels of
wheat to sell where only five hundred is
wanted, must take what he can get
for the surplus five hundred, while the
man who has only five hundred where a
thousand is needed can name his own
price for all he has got to sell. It is the
surplus, therefore, in the markets of the
world or its absence that fixes the price
of the remainder, and this year the pros
pect now is that there is going to be no
surplus.

A "thousand sheep on a thousand
hills" signifies only one on a hill, and
not a total of a million sheep. Our
cotemporary should study mathematics

So it appears, after all, that the man
has only a thousand sheep, though why
he should plant oue on eveiy hill top of
the thousand hills of Grant county, is
what we cannot find out, unless, as is
quite possible, the cayotes may have got

We're going to study logic and mathe

all about it.

is, as yet, a matter of mere conjecture,
but the chief secretary has intimated
that it will be based broadly on the
English and Scutch acts and if such is
the case" it is believed that the Irish
members cannot consistently refuse to
support it. It is contended on all hands
that Ireland cannot reasonably ask for
more liberty of action than England and
Scotland are content with and Irish
members have many times asserted
their willingness to accept the same
privileges and the same degree of local
government that England and Scotland
enjoy. To the downfall of Parnell is
generally ascribed the amazing change
of attitude of the Irish members to the
government party. It is even asserted j
tbat Mr. Parnell has actually stood in I
the way of homo rule for several years I
pact by reason of bis refusal to accept J
any measures originated Dy tne tories.
There is now, it is said, a wide-spread
feeling that by the downfall of Parnell

per hundred kilos on all salted pork,
ham and bacon imported from the Unit
ed States. This would mean a tariff
duty of less than two cents a pound
which is by no means prohibitory. It
would also mean a largely increased
market and better times for the pork in
dustry of the United States, especially,
too as it is likely to be followed by the
opening of, the German markets to the
same product.

The Chicago Tribune lately .published
a brief table which is of considerable in
terest to every student of-the liquor
question. The population of Chicago, is
in round numbers 1,200,000. A recent
report of the citv board of health gives
the number of firms and persons en
gaged in- various occupations. From
that report the Tribune takes the figures
in the following table, which ehows the
number of inhabitants to each sal non,
meat market etc.: Saloon, 217: meat
market, 770; lawyer, 450; cigat shop,
900; grocery, 377; drug store, 2,000;
doctor 700 ; office holder, 120. The office
holders are at the head of the procession
and the saloons come next; Notice the
great jump there is from "the saloon to
the grocery and meat market, both of
which cater to the prime necessity- of
mankind food. The Tribune remarks
that "there is one municipal and gov
ernment employe for every 120 Chica
goans, men women and children ; that
is a good record, and it shows where the
taxes go." But there is one saloon for
every 217 people men, women and
children in Chicago and this shows un
doubtedly, where a great deal of the
money goes.
LOGIC AND MATHEMATICS.
It is a sad commentary on the admin
istration of justice in the United States
that only 102 persons were legally exe
cuted for the 4,290 mnrders committed
in the year 1890 while 126 persons were
lynched. Statistics clearly show that
tne man wno commits a murder nas a
better chance of escaping than the man
who steals a loaf of bread. There is
surely something wrong when the execu
tions by lynch law are twenty-five per
cent greater in nnmber than by organ
ized justice and all the hangings put to
gether are not three per cent of the
number of murders. There ought to be
more hangings or fewer murders.
