A striking case of youthful depravity
Las come t light in a 14-year-old girl ol
Taconia, who is pungently desrrilied by
her mother as "a holy terror." Id ap
plying for an order committing the girl
to the state reform school at Chehalis
the mother told the court that her
daughter had been sent to the Home of
the tiood Shepherd at Seattle, to a con
ent in Portland, to a boarding schuol in
Chehalis and from all these places she
bad run away. Just 1 if fore taking her
eat after a serious talk from the judge,
the girl astounded his honor by exclaim
ing in a saucy manner: "I will be just
on an euttalitv with that ot the c
lalior countries of the Old World.
There w iil le a rude awakening,
shall now have a free trade policy,
oucht to have it. The country
generation
should learn from experience w hat I
it means. Naturally and inevitably j
there will le timidity in making invest-1
ments, particularly in industrial enter- i
prises. Labor generally will find the de- !
mand for it checked, since new etal- j
lishments will not lie founded, nor old
ones enlarged under existing uncertain-;
ties. The election of Cleveland will ,
carry with it a democratic majority both
in the senate and the house, and there
will be no obstacle to legislation on the
basis of the democratic platform. It
will 1 more than one year till the new
policy can be formulated into law and
encouraging outlook.

One of the treasures of the Edison
Photmpraph works at Orange is a cylin
der that was impressed with the Toice of
the late John MeCulIoogh, the actor,
who died in a madhouse. The impres
sion wae taken while he was in confine
ment. Rambling passages from the
plays in which he acted were recited in
a voice of wouderiul power aad pathos,
but at the end of each passage the actor
would -etop and say, iu a voice to chill
the lMxi, "But now I'm mad ha, ha,
ha, ha, ha, ha sb-h-h-h." The end
of the laugh was all but indescribable,
for he drew in his breath with a sound
tnat wae partly a snriefc and partly a
gasp, if there is ever a voice heard
from tbe tomb it is when tine cylinder
is put is the phonograph.
It ie rumored that a tall baikling is to
be ereoteti in Chicago in which there
shall sot be a stone, brick or pieee of
timber. It is to be constructed of an al
loy of aluminum and copper ninety per
cent of the former and ten per cent of
the latter in the form of sheets over a
wall of etael frame fireproofing. To a
larger extent than is nsual in such struc
tures giaec will be used, the windows
being twenty -two feet wide. Tlieetruc
ture composed entirely of plate glass
and ehiaiug pieces of aluminum, will, it
is asserted, be as striking in appearance
as it wiil be novel. The cost is esti
mated at seven hundred thousand -dollars.
The Cauii: for more than a oooth,
and without a second, has held that tlse
-care on the wool market had no founda
tion in fact. It i agreeable therefore, to
r- tee such paper? a the Portland Telegram
, swinging into fine. Its last issue says-.
"The wool li vers have rafsed each a
how I about the low prices of wool retak
ing from the aw8ion to power of the
democratic party, that they have actu

It is enfortunate that this game shonld,
have been so eao-eeeiul. The buyers are
.able to wait, and tliev even enjov the
-effects of their diplouiay, but the pro
ducers have not the same reserve
strength and therefore may not hold out
.until tr? folly of the scare is demon'
trated." '
Our idea of pension reform is that it
hould commence with the "total disa
bility" fellows who draw big salaries as
public ofE&alg. There are many of
these, some of them very rieh, who draw
472 to $100 a month of tlie people's
money when tueir private incomes run
ap into the tliousands. One advioe to

F.seepl two small concerns, one at
Corvaiiis. Oregon, and one in Michigan,
every bank that has failed so tar w iil
pay depositors in full. Banks cannot
afford to keep deposits in their vaults at
all times, because there would be no
profit in it, and timid depxwiMrs called .

sense in runs Uon the banks of late
than there would be in attempting tu

blacksmith's bellows. Still, the money
sharks have made their millions out of
the flurry. They it was who started
the wave, and their money went out at
fabulous rates of interest. Welcome.
