SATl'KIUY,
Our neighboring nalion on the south
has i.uprHl the pablii-ation of 100
newspapers unfriendly to the Iiaz ad
ministration. An net of that kind in
the 1'nited States would not bo toler
ated, though there are hundreds of howl
ing eheets of the anarchistic ana sociai
iatir ordert! that deserve ueh fate. Hut
so long an intelligence of the niasne
roles, ad it does, there is little fear that
these papers will ever have more than
an insignificant following, which may lie
troublesome at odd times in certain
localities and as quickly squelched by a
vigorous move on the pari of the great
majority of law-abiding citizens. Mean
while Mexico will be subjected to fearful
revolutions. The government which re
sorts to annihilation of opxsition may
be overthrown in a day and ten thous
and citizens of Mexico shed their life
blood because they are not on the plane
of enlightenment enjoyed by the United
States, to which nation a prospect of
internal strife is almost as removed as
the millenium.
The manner of settling the Behring
sea question now under discussion at
Paris, viz., by arbitration, is one of the
best evidences of Nineteenth century
enlightenment, and may be a token of
the begining of the period leading to the
millenium. Much less caue than this
has heretofore driven nations to a bloody
war involving the loss of hundreds of
lives, and wholesale destruction of prop
erty. As Americans we should be glad
to win in the momentous contest. It is
but natural that patriotic pride should
hope for a decision favorable to this
government, but those who should know
most about the controversy recognize
the doubtful character of some of the
propositions advanced in the American
case. It is also estimated that the
American case has been weakened by
the recent declaration that her territor
ial claims only extend thirty miles from
the shore line, and as she can transfer
no nure than she possesses, the United
State9 must be bound by what Russia
has declared, provided it be correct.
If President Cleveland imagined that
the departure of most of the congress
men for their homes would relieve him
in any great measure from the pressure
of those who want office he ha9 been un
deceived. The office-seekers, in the ab
sence of their senators and representa
tives, have taken their fate into their
own hands. It is, of course, somewhat
difficult for them to reachjthelpresident,
bat they take advantage of '.the general
public receptions in their efforts to do so.
There is every indication that this sort
of thing will continue as long as the ex
ecutive will stand it; and probably rec
ognizing that fact, Mr. Cleveland is said
to have stated with much emphasis
since the adjournment of the senate that
he will make as few appointment as pos
sible while the army of office-seekers
remains in Washington.
A aood example of what can be done
by determination and pluck is repre
sented by the lare fruit ranch of rieu
fert Bros., five miles east of the city.
When they came here about 187U they
were in limited circumstances, and lo
cated a ranch along the Columbia river
bottom in the sand land that bad been
considered valueless. A fringe of pop
lars were planted along the north side
for a wind-break, and the sand-soil fer
tilized and enriched, so that now, the
output of this ranch averages thousands
of boxes of fruit every summer.
Our own business present an ample
field for our best endeavors, and If others
were as pleasantly situated, we should
not have the great amount of legal ad
vice now being thrust on s by our con
temporaries. It may be foolish, per
haps, on our part, but we prefer to en
gage our advice, whenever wo are in
need of it, from the ranks of the legal
profession and those who would have no
interest in misleading us and insisting
that we have no case. It may be true
that the Sun considers it news, as it
.uv. to run the double-column tlnani ial
statement of the county clerk. That
paper's news is generally about as dry
as these interesting statistics ordinarily
Kre, but we do not think so, neither do
our largely-increasing number of wad
ers. And we believe the Sun will lie
lie itself by putting in a bill for this
very pieceof news, which it insists, with
singular inconsistency, is purely news
and of vital interest and Importance.
The speaking contests are doing a
great work for prohibitionists all over
the country. If their political tactics
were always as pure as the beverage
they advocate they would not have to
wait long to beconio a power in the
land. But their treatment of the repub
licans in Iowa has not won for them the
respect they are ordinarily entitled to.
Iowa won prohibition through the re
publicans, who inserted a prohibition
plank in their platform and carried the
state for them. In the last presidential
election the prohibitionists, unmindful of
the great obligation they owed the repub
licans, voted their own ticket, instead of
the republican ticket, and thus gave
Iowa to the democrats, by a larger ma
jority than it ever hoped to secure.
This was wrong and thoughtless on the
part of the prohibitionists, and they will
sutler to the extent of the wrong done,
which is in pursuance of a universal
law. Kansas secured her prohibition
directly through the prohibitionists
themselves, and they thus owe no party
any favors, but what a nice example of
appreciation and gratitude it would have
been had the prohibitionists of Kansas
allied themselves with ttie republicans
and carried Kansas for Harrison last
year, instead of losing Iowa for them.

Washington's appropriation is .being
thrown to the birds the kind with the
talons, according to the f'ost-Intelli-genoer,
which says: The world's fair
commissioners have already spent 130,-
000 of the 150,000 appropriated by the
last legislature. FourJJof ;the commis
sioners are at present in tChicago at a
salary of $200 per month each. It now
looks as though a system of rigid econ
omy would be necessary to 'make the
appropriation hold out.

Recorder Menefee works on an average
of sit hours every day at his office,
some days being employed the fall ten
hours. If he were paid $60 a month for
these services his intelligent and special

than 35 cents an hour. If there is any
lawyer in this town who does not make
more than 35 cents an hour for time em
ployed, he had better aUinilon his pro
fession and go to snwing wood.
A bugs leather trust is the latest one

The Klamath Star is also a convert to
ho-raising by the farmer. The evidence
is conclusive that hog-raising is abuiit
the best naviuz business in which a
farmer can emnure at present. It is well i '"U
that we have a department of agricul
ture, nnd better, that its statistics can
be relied upon. The statistician of that

by leaders Waring Uncle Jack flags and
wearing Union .lacks of paper in their

A New York daily paper, taking up
the idea conveyed in Flammarion's ex
citing novel, "Oineg:: The Last Days of
the World," has interviewed a numlier
of the leading men in all professions as
to what they would do if science were to
predict tomorrow that the end of the
world would arrive within the next
thirty days. The answers are various
and carious, and heighten the interest
which is felt in the second part of Flam
marion's great novel, which appears in
the May Cosmopolitan. It is a question
which everyone will find interesting to
ask of himself : What would you do if
within six weeks the end of the world
were certain? Probably no novel which
has ever appeared in an American
magazine has been more elaborately
illustrated by moredistingnished artists.
Laurens, Sannier, Vogel, Meaulle,
Rocliegrosse, Geradin and Chovin all
contribute to the explanation of the
text.
A clever story of another kind is that
of the new English novelist, Gilbert Par
ker, in the same nutulier. "American
Society in Paris" Is an article of another
kind, but one which will interest all
who have had occasion to make even a
short residence in the French capital.
The Cosmo;)Iitan scores a success in
producing in its May number, also sim
ultaneously with the dally papers, an
elaborate description of Professor Gray's
marvellous invention, the telautograph,
which reproduces the handwriting, or
the work of the artist, simultaneously,
thousands of miles distant from the
place where the writer or artist is sit
ting. Mr. Howells' purpose in "The
Traveller from Altruria" is, month by
month, becoming more evident, and is
now receiving wide attention at the
hands of the critics all over the world.
Recent advices from England, received
by the friends of Miss Frances Wiliard
in Evanston, state that Miss Wiliard has
entirely broken down in health. She
has been prohibited by physicians from
returning to America until fall, and it
seems they are much concerned for her
life even under the best of care. She
will spend pt.rt of the summer in Switz
erland, and return to America in the fall
if able.

Cardinal Newman waa a mauler in
tho art of writing English. In ono ol
his published letters, hu expressed the
following opinion: "As to patterns for
iiiMtution, the only master of atylo I
ever hud is Cicero: I think I owe a greut
deal U him, and, ho fur an I know, to
no one cl.se." Bishop Wordaworth, of
St. Andrews, another mawterly writer
of English, says in his uuU 'biography:
"So far on I have derived beuclit from
anyone in the mutter of coinpoaition, it
hoa been from Cicero. I do not uu
derate the udvantage of a combined
study of authors such ua Addison,
Swift, Bolingbroke, Johnson, liurhc,
Hume, (iiblsiu.Mai'uulay.and I may add
Horace Walpolc; hut I must repeat that
I got more good, not only in writing
Latin but for writing English, from
reading Cicero, and learning him by
heart, than from any other source."
Miss Bernadine Sargent has been
chosen to represent Eastern Washing

Thdusdat, May 4. The continuance
of unsettled weather, together with few
arrivals from the interior, has hud a
tendency to cause a sltiggishnecs in busi
