' tv?Ttf! not considered as anything re
m&Vkabta at the time, for the great
taniel Webster to take the view of this
division of Uncle Sam's domain which
hctrodltod to him in Ben Perlcy Poor's
Reminiscences, from which he quote : ;
"Mr. Webster had a very vague idea
of the great west. ' On oneoccasion when
ho was in the senato a proposition was
before it to establish a mail route from
Independence, Moi, to the mouth of the
Columbia river, 8,000 miles across plains
and mountains, about the extent of
which the public then knew o more
than they did of the interior of Thibit.
Mr. Webster, after denouncing the
measure, closed with a few remarks
concerning the country at large. 'What
MORAL MONSTROSITIES.
I What is society', to dp with a moral
monstrosity like. Alico.Mitchell? Here
is a girl who was obviously afflicted with
a form of insanity, due to some congeni
tal deficiency, rather than to a breaking
down of nerve force or blood poisoning.
She killed Freda Warde neither in anger
nor cupidity ; the deed was that of
mad person, but lamentably the - mad
ncss is not of a type that will permit
continual incarceration in an insane asy
lum. Unless it 'should develop into
more positive form, as was the case

The mass of humanity is very much
more imitative than we generally think.
There are very few people of real origi
nality. In these even, the- originality
developed mostly; after a long . period
spent in careful imitation. --'The' periods
of imitation and originality are on oppo
site arms in the lever of human exist
ence. The imitative is greatest and the'
original least but their positions tend to
be reversed through the years of exper
ience. This point is fully illustrated by
observing the work of Mr. Higby, on tho
-fruit company's ranches on Mill creek,
since he came to Urcgon people are
learning that the hill tops are our very
best vine lands, and that irrigation .is
death to an orchard.' The evidences of.
thrift on every hand proves the virtue
of continued industry. The 'angel of'
ease never came through the gate of in
dolence, and never .will. , The demon of
idleness has . no scattered thorns and
moss grown tree, trunks about the
Higby plantation. "In order to arrive
we must start." said Talivrand. and this' toaien but to preserve a deceut silonoe
terse bit of eDi'erammatic wisdom holds or bewail the country's universal and
vast, .worthless area? ..This region 'Of
savages and wild beasts, of deserts of
shifting eandaaiKlwhirlwitidsrof -duet,
of cactus, and.. prairie .-dogs? . Toiwhat
uee could we over bape to put these
great deserts, or these endless mountain
ranges, impenetrable and covered to
their very base with eternal snow?
What can we ever hope to do with the
western coast,, a coast pi 3,000 miles,
rock-bonnd, cheorle6s, uninviting, and
ot a harbor on it? What nse have we
for this country ?' "
When the above words were uttered,
but little was known of this great coun
try, and Mr. Webster was in a .measure
excusable for his sayings. But with the
light of the present, what a violation 1t
is to have an intelligent man assert that
this country, w "good for nothing,
There is not a hill in sight of The Dalles
but is of more real value, for fruit alone,
than the best -farm . in Massachusetts.
Talk about the discovery of America ;
why people are only just now beginning'
to discover the real merits of this region
We can excuse Webster : but have no
apology Tfor" ho moss-backed webfoot,
who says the hills are of no value.
Without elevators, with which to get up
to his plowing, they are no doubt "no
good" to the somnolent Oregonian whose
bank account accumulates without ex
ertion of any kind on his part.
The 'New York -Herald, speaking of
the goiHifal business of the past year
and" the outlook for the future, says:
"All tho evidence at hand shows that
this is "joins to be i, bad, sad year for
tho calamity prophte of poth. parties.
Tb'cir occupation is gone, and there will
be nothing for them to do in the cam-
of embarrasenient to' bef' relatives and
friends, and a constant menace, to all
those abound 'her .""The more'humane
wish is'that she would elth'erfciil' her
self, which ehe claims was her 'original
intention when ehe resolved upon the
murder of Freda Warde, or lapse into
hopeless imbecility or madness that will
keep her under the lock and key of -the
asylum.
On Saturday last Mayor Quimby of
Kettle Falls narrowly escaped drown
ing. He took a skiff at the ferry land
ing intending to leave it Just above the
rapids and walk to the place where some
men were engaged in moving .his steam
er, but one ot his oars broke while he
was still in the swift current and he was
carried into the rapids, where his boat
filled and struck a rock, splitting the
entire length of the boat. . Mr. Quimby
sprang upon a rock and was seen by the
men, but the roar of the waters prevent
ed him from hearing their shouts or en
couragement, and believing that so boat
could reach bi perilous position which
he could not maintain long, drenched as
he was and night approaching, be seized
upon a strandpdplank, and clinging to i
launched out into the. seething waters
and was swept down through the rapids
The plank being thoroughly watereoaked
sank instead of supporting him, and he
struck out for shore, which he was so
fortunate as to reach nearly exhausted
with bis struggles with the waves. No
one who witnessed his adventure believ
ed' he could survive. An Indian put out
in a canoe in an effort to assist him, but
the current was too strong and he could
make no progress
its significant lesson to those of us who
are too of ten by the way of being dila
tory in carrying out our intentione. The
procrastinator comforts himself with the
assurance that some other day is
good as today, which is a fallacy. If one
would arrive at perfection in fruit grow
ing he must start, and the ooner he
starts the earliei will be his arrival, ac
cording to Mr. Higby.
The desire to be remembered is acorn
anon, and not an ignorable feeling.
When we are dead and gone it will really
make no difference to us whether we are
Temembered or not. When the time
comes for friendship and acquaintance
and reputation to be translated into
-memory we will be engaged in a journey
of discovery whose interest wil take .our
whole attention. Even the moist enter
prising newspapers have no subscribers
in heaven. Even the meanest newspa
pers, though well fited for circulation on
earth, have no constituency in hades. So
that the account of our funeral in either
class of papers will make no difference
to us when once we have crossed the
Knc. We will never read it. Neverthe
less we have a desire to be kindly re
membered. "
Many persons must have been struck
with the awkward begin ning of the 100th
Psalm : "For why ? . The Lord our God
is good." Tho truth, is, popular in-
tgenuuy represented in tuts case, per
Jiaps by the printer has taken Wje lib
erty of changing the old word "for why
meaning "because," which gave good
sense and translated the original, but
which had fallen out of common use
exasperating, prosperity, .f there is
simply nothing for them to. grumble
about. The business of the country is
in a provokingly healthy and flourishing
condition. Imports during ' the fiscal
year ended Juno SO were greater than
any former year, amounting to $S33,Q00,-
000, while exports also exceed the high
est record and reached the enormous ag
gregate of f 127,000,000. itailroad earn
ings for the first six months of the year
are .greater than those -for any similar
period in. history, and the output of
manufactures has been greater than ever
before. - Business failures for the first
half of "the presen t year have been 1,000
fewer in number and $40,000,000 less in
gross liabilities than they were during
the corresponding period of 1891. New
industrial enterprises for manufacturing
iron, cotton and woolen fabrics- are
going into operation in various sections,
and while the margin of profit is small,
business is on a solid foundation, and
the outlook in every direction is hope
ful and encouraging. The grain crop is
promising, money is abundant and col
lections are easy." . What says the
democratic party in its national plat
form? "We deny that there has been
any increase of prosperity to the coun
try since that tariff (McKinley) went in
to operation." " The man who shuts
his eyes at noontime and swears it is
midnight is a full-powdered, free-trade,
calamity democrat.

quires the portraiture of the darker side
of pugilism. It is a debased and vicious
calling, with prizes only for the few, and

Someueer facts are developed in the
case of the murderer Wilson, whose sui
cide in jail at Oregon City has. been
noted. He was a very supple man, and
while confined in his cell ho would at
tempt to commit suicide by coiling him
self up like a rattlesnake and then spring
headforemost against the wall and then
fall on the Boor and lay apparently life
less. The softening of the frontal globes
of his brain is attributed to.' these at
tempts to commit suicide. It may be
interesting to note that Wilson's 'brain,
which weighed 64 ounces, has but one
superior and one equal in weight, viz:
that of Cuvier, the French naturalist,
which is the heaviest on record, andthat
of Edward Henry .Knight, which also
weighed 64 onncee.

. PrrrBBOao, Aug. 4. Secretary Love

seen by a reporter this morning made an
official emphatie denial of the story to
the effect that Andrew Carnegie .with
holds his gift to the city in veut of the
city council's taking official-notice of the
protests from trades unions. . Lovejoy
said there is not one word of truth in
the story that Carnegie is angry and will
take back his gift. "Such talk," he
said, "is the veiriest nonsense. It has
not ben talked of here, and I am con
fident the author of that story did not
get the statement from any one con
nected with Carnegie." .
