PLAN F0K ARBITRATION.
in
to
Col. W. W, Chapman submitted
plan for arbitration which appears
. -ttne Oregonum oi tbe20tn. It the as
smbly would adopt &is measure it would
settle any trouble in Oregon' arising
from disputes between employer and
employe. Itwctold be simplo in its "op
eration. To illustrate : The employes,
ibe laborers.-think their wages ought to
be increased, and they send a letter
. the employer making the request in res
pectf nl langaage. The employer looks
over bis'books and accounts and thinks
he ' :cannet afford . it. He writes
a respeeful letter to the employe!
that -he cannot afford it, and
gives 'the reasons. The employes do
not think he is correct and are will-
ing to'refer it to be decided by disinter
sted-neighbors. .They then eelect three
arbitrators and appoint the time and
place of meeting, and send notice to the
employer informing him of these facts.
jind he appoints three arbitrators and
notifies the laborers. They all meet and
he question is settled without any die
tea-Dance. During this the business is
carried on, and neither party suffers the
igntesc injury.
It is said the Duke of Devonshire goes
4o sleep in the house of lords. . What
else is he to do should that august house
eit late, as it does three or four times a
year? Besides, it is the custom to go to
sleep in parliament when vou have a
-mind to.. The rules forbid the perusal
ef a newspaper, a magazine or a book.'
If a peer or a member of the -commons
desires to read he must go to -the read
jwg room or the library. Therefore,
when a bore is on his legs about ten or
eleven o'clock, and bis diffuse and unin
teresting commonplaces are running out
.an turgid verbosity, what better thing
can a statesman do than go to sleep?
When in the lower house as .Lord Hart
ington, the duke was a confirmed 6leeper,
with his legs against the clerk's table,
bis hat tilted down over his eyes, his
xnouth open and arms folded, or balanc
ing his body upon bis seat. At times
Iiis lordship was guilty of n approach
to snoring. People who go to bed about
two or four in the morning must take
their sleep somewhere.
THOSE INFLUENCE CLUBS.
.The husbands, fathers and brothers of
America are a little curious as to the
plan of attack to be pursued by that ag
gregation of New York mothers, wives
and sisters, which has lately gone in for
politics in what is known as the Frances
Folsom Influence club, as its members
are home women who want to take part
in tbo struggle by exercising a gentle In
fluence upon the voters with whom they
come in contact in the quiet paths of
domestic life.
But how is that influence to be ap
plied?
It can be taken for granted that the
ladies will not wield infloonce as it is
wielded at certain ward elections; by
the persuasive eloquence of $2 bills,
And they are ot likely to make stump
speeches. It is this dark uncertainty as
to the methods they will peraue that
oustht to fill the anti-Cleveland voters of
New York xity with profound apprehen
sion. What insidous and subtle devices
they raay employ- can only be imagined,
They -may even adopt by-laws giving
such instructions as these :
No member will permit her husband
toemoke in the parlor until foe swears
to vote for Cleveland.
No member will allow her daughter
to -receive attentions from a republican.
All members will consider it a duty to
go through their husbands' pockets reg
ularly at nignt until tne latter nave de
clared allegiance to the democratic platform.
A certain lecture on tariff delivered at
3 a. m., will be found very efhcacions if
your husband is sleepy.
Demand exorbitant sums for clothing,
on the plea that protection raises prices.
If vour husband comes home late,
weep copiously until he tells you what
kent him. Then say that if he had been
at a democratic rally you wouldn't have
cared.
In short, there is no -knowing what
subtle, insidious and dangerous kinds of
influence these clubs may exert. Until
the Frances Folsom Influence club, an
nounces a definite policy new iotk
voters will be wary and exceedingly re
served. '
THE COST OF POOR ROADS.
. An interesting contribution to the dis
cussion of American country roads comes
.from Prof. Richard T. Ely, who affirms
that "poor roads cost this country on the
average over $20 a horse." He is sus
tained by Prof. Jenks of Knox -college,
who thinks "$15 a horee is a low esti
mate for this loss.". The board of trade
of Knoxville, Tenn., - has laso made the
suggestive computation that bad dirt
roads cost the people of that one com
monwealth more than $7,000,000 a year,
From tables made from other statistics
it is also declared that on a gravel road
horee will draw nearly one and a half
times the load, and on McAdam over
three times the load he can draw on the
common dirt road.
The losses from time consumed
from wear on beast and ' vehicle
and from repairs in indirect ways, fall
principally, of course, upon those engag
ed in agricultural pursuits. The average
cost which produce-carriers bear in haul
ing to the- Knoxville market, from the
surrounding farming region is estimated
at $7.50 a load. This average it is authori
tatively stated, could be reduced one-
half upon good dirt roads and five-sixths
ever good McAdam- roads. That is to
say, one of the chief expenses borne by
farmers is doubled through the extr&vi
gant economy which . perpetuates poor
roads. It is, comparatively speaking, a
saving of cents and a spending of dollars,
The amount of money annually lost in
this country from coast to coast through
badly kept highways can only be cuessed
at, but it is something enormous.
THE BARNACLE LOOSENERS.
This is the description given ""of them
selves by the em ployes of the Home
stead Iron works?. -"The employes in
the iui!I of Messrs. Carnegie, Phipps &
Co., at Homestead have built there a
town, with its homes, its schools and its
hurciiBs; have for many years been co
workers wiui tf! company in we dusi-
ne-i-. iiu-i have invested tnousanas oi
dollars of their savings in the said
mills." Jnet put next to this a descrip
tion 6f the free trade'English iron work
ers and you will have the difference be
tween protected and tree trade laborers.
After detailing many public nuisances
in Chicago, the News closes its list as
follows: "But the worst i not yet.
" Here comes the great prize howler of
the west side. He can be heard as soon
as he turns the corner of -the -second
block. There is no music ia his voice,
far from it. It is impudent and exas
perating. It makes one mad to hear it
It is pitched in the key in which he can
make the most noise and produce the
most discordant yell. With mouth dis
tended from ear to ear he frantically
shouts: "Wa-hoo wa-hoo wa-hoo wa
oop wo-oop wo-op wow !!' Ulsinfernal
, lingo has no more reference to the garj
bage he peddles than the wail -of a west
side street-car conductor has to the
names of the streets. He has the gift
of continuance and keeps it up until it
dies away in the distance, and
fiilenee the poultice comes
To heal the woes of sound."
In securing a -, $10 fine against the
icero policeman who clubbed a peace
ful cyclist the other day, the League of
American wheelmen did more than pun
ish a brutal officer. It advertised the
fact that men on two wheels have: as
much right on the public highway as
men on four wheels. These rights, how
ever, do not give wheelmen the special
privilege of racing at full speed through
the down-town streets.
The Herald comes to the front with a
demand for a fresh water harbor for
Tacoma. It favors the conversion of
Gallagher gulch into the desired barnacle
destroyer, and' declares the imporve-
ment can be made with one-fourth the
outlay that would be required in the
construction of the Kirkland canal at
8eattle.
It has also been seriously proposed to
create a fresh water harbor by dredging
the Puyallup river, which there flows
into Commencement bay. If it is so
highly desirable to have a barnacle
loosener and toredeo annihiliator on the
sound the more of them the better. If
one will do so much for the state, two
ought to do twice as much, suggests the
Review. But the . Tacoma enterprise
would bring more benefits to the interior
than would the Seattle scheme, for the
reason that the bulk of the grain shipped
toPnget sound goes to Tacoma. It is
not likely that, the democratic conven
tion will adjourn without taking advan
tage of this excellent opportunity to bid
for the votes of the countless thousands
who have so longhand patiently waited
for; a fresh water harbor that would
knock out the barnacle and fill with ter
ror the heart of the all-powerful tor.. deo
It is difficult to get too much of a good

It is claimed that the pneumatic-tired
sulky which Btftld Doble used at Wash
ington park, Chicago, last week, to
make Nancy Hanks beat her previous
record, had very much .to do ttith the

many years before the Washington Park
club will be called upon to give up the
horseshoe emblematic of the victory
achieved upon this occasion. Nancy
Hanks was named after the mother of
the greatest man that ever lived Abra

The intelligence that - President Har
rison had issued a .proclamation against
Canada created no little excitement in
Ottawa. The members of the Canadian
government are not disposed to express
any decided opinion as to what action
Canada will take, but it is the general
impression that the Ottawa government
will call an emergency meeting of the
cabinet and abolish the rebate system
altogether.

A West Superior paper says that it is
a moral certainty that tbe new whale
back steamer Pathfinder and consort
Sagamore will make a sensational rec
ord for cargo carrying before the season
is done. It is estimated that the pair
will easilv transport 275,000 bushels of
corn and correspondingly great cargoes
in other -commodities. Some adverse
criticisms concerning the- new whale-back-Washburn
having circulated rather
freely over the lakes, the West Superior
paper was moved to investigate them-,
and it found that they emanated from
grain trimmers who find nothing to do
on them, and from coal ehovelers who
are able to unload them more quickly
than other vessels. Whalehack owners
ought to encourage 6uch criticism.

No matter how much a democratic pa

orate against the tariff the cold fact re
mains that the democratic house, with
150 majority, sat for eight months this
year without offering to repeal tho Mc
Kinley, tariff law. The democratic par
ty is now before the country without a
substitute for the present law. It is in
the attitude of the man who criticised
the creation, but who had to admit that
he could not make a better world, al
though he thought he could offer some
valuable suggestions. The question be
fore the country is whether it desires to
exchange the existing tariff for a "pig in
a poke" brought to market by the dem
ocratic party.
