A DEMAND OF HUMANITY.
". Tbe interstate commerce commit
tee, in the face of strong protest
from labor organizations in various
quarters, has decided to exend for
a period of two years the' time in
which railroads must place automatic
coupling appliances upon all of their
cars. The act of congress of March
2, 1893, commonly known ns the
safely appliance act, decreed that all
the cars of all the railway companies
. should . be thus equipped by 1 898, ft
period cf full Ave" years being al
lowed in which to complete the
change. This was deemed ample at
the time, and it doubtless would have
proved ample bad not the railway
companies believed, with good rea
son, that extension of time could be
secured. Be this as it may, the
'. limit has nearly expired, the railway
companies have not met the condi
tions imposed by the act, and the
time has been extended.

organizations, against this extension
as placing the humanities in the
oca.it; ag&uisi,.. iuu cost oi me equip
ment ordered. It is asserted that
the companies have had ample time
to eauiD their cars with these life and
limb-saving devices, and that tbe

ipense at this time is one that should
'bave no weight against the fact that
-every year's delay costs the lives of
tiundreds of trainmen and causes the
injury, more or less serious, of thous
ands. It is believed that tbe auto
matic couplers, when universally
-used, will greatly reduce the number
of these deaths and disasters. It is
certain that a vast number of brake
men have been killed or maimed in
the use of the old system of hand
coupling, and the substitution of the
automatic coupler is urged as a mat
ter of humanity, in the shortest pos
sible space of time.
Recognizing the vast outlay inci
dent to this substitution, and taking
into consideration tbe fact that tbe
cars of the different railway systems
are, in fulfillment of the demands of
interstate commerce, widely scat
tered, and that business constantly
presses, a period supposed to be am
ple for making the change was al
lowed. This the railroad companies
maintain, under all the circumstances,
ws not long enough, while the rep
resentatives of the trainmen's inter
ests assert the contrary and cbarge
dilatory tactics, backed by iheir sup
posed influence upon legislation to
secure an extension of time, upon
the railroad companies. ,
Statistics showing the killed and
injured among trainmen in charge of
freight trains during the past years
are cited as showing an urgency for
tbe equipment of freight cars with
automatic couplers that brook no de
lay. On ! tbe railroads operated in
the state of Pennsylvania alone last
year no fewer than 500 men were
killed, and. 10,591 injured in the
freight service,' while the figures rep
resenting the grand total of lives de
stroyed and injuries suffered among
this class of employes are truly ap
palling. The belief that these casu
alties will be decimated by the gen
eral use of the automatic coupler is
widespread and we1! founded. Hu
man life is the most important con
sideration in this matter. It is
perhaps useless to inquire now
whether tbe committee has needlessly
sacrificed safety of life and limb to
the solicitations of the companies.
But it is certain another extension
should not .be' allowed. - When the
two years are up,he penalties should
be enforced. Oregonian.
POPULISTS
THEIR
.PARTICULAR
ASSOCIATES,
OF
Tbe Populists in Oregon have re
fused to enter into an unholy alliance
with tbe Democratic party, and are
going to paddle their own barque
on tbe ruffled sea of politics. This
will make things all the more inter
esting next June, although there is
no doubt but what the contest will
be sufficiently heated not to allow the
interest to flag.
Just hy tbe Populists have re
fused to train with the Pennoyer
branch of the Democratic party we
fail to understand. Tbeir principles
seem to e identically me same.
Cheap money and lots of it, lucra
tive offices and plenty of tteni appear
to ba the only war cry which meets
with unqualified approval in tbe ad
herents both "of the consistent Popu
listic and Pennoyer-Davis" parties.
We are afraid the Populists are tak
ing oh a show of virtue that is hardly
due them. It has not been noticed
that Populists when tbey get into
power act with much more morality
than do the unpretentious gentlemen
of the older organizations. Popu
ulists like to ride to the legislature
without the payment of the nsual
fare, and the rass, which is an un
righteous document in the bands of
another person, looks becoming in
their own.'
Tbe leaders of the Populists will
haye to issue another manifesto ex
plaining wherein their superiority
exists, before the fair-minded public
will be sure that they did right in
deserting poor Pennoyer.. The sha
dows are gathering fast abcAit that
rare and saintly individual. His
former friends, the Populists, refuse
to associate with him, and . bis com
missioners and cnier or ponce nave
fallen into habits that must bring
sorrow to his heart.
PREPARING ELECTION REFORM-
The call for a convention to con-
sider reforms in the manner of con
ducting primary elections is paj ing
attention to a subject which is vitally
connected with the very life , blood
of our nation. The evil of our po
litical life lies in the carelessness
with which tbe vast majority of tbe
American people view tbe subject
of politics and politicians. As a
good-natured nation we are prone to
let things take tbeir own course, and
when a thing is done which is wrong
upon its face and disastrous in its
results, we are apt to dismiss it with
the word that it is simply "politics"
and pay no further attention to it.
Tbe evils of bossism have grown so
pronounced of late that more serious
concern is being given to the meth
ods by which cheap and unscrupulous
men attain to such places of influence
and eminence in the conduct of our
government, while men of morality
and ability are compelled to sit by
amVwatch this degradation in high
plans. ' t
The United States senate was once
the ablest parliamentary body in the
world. ' Men with kingly intellects
and spotless characters feat as mem
bers, and the deliberations in the
days of Clay, Webster and Calhoun
were, conducted upon principles of
high morality and patriotism. As
late as the days of reconstruction
the United Slates senate contained
some of the best statesmen our na
tional life had produced, but in the
last two decades none can gainsay
that the tone ot statesmanship and
average ability has deteriorated.
When we compare Clay or Webster
with Senator Murphj of New A'ork
or Quay of Pennsylvania, what, a
shock to every citizen's pride, and
yet Quay and Murphy are more the
rule than the exception.
It is through tbe manipulation- of
politics at tbe primaries that such
men are able to secure - election to
the senate. Ordinarily the boss who
rounds up the heelers primary day
cannot himself secure election to
what was once an honor coveted by
the most distinguished, but he is
able often to dictate which one of
his chosen friends shall wear the sen
atorial toga. The result is seen in
the aimless wrangling and disregard
of public interests with which the
senate, ;in ..the last-Jew,, years is
charged. ; ' ' ;,'
The American people are fit to be
governed .by the best men the coun
try can produce, and it is worth the
while that the citizens should spend
time and thought to secure this end.
To arouse public sentiment to a still
further degree is a first necessitj-, and
tbe calling of a convention, while in
itself barren of direct results, will
aid in the final attainment of the de
sired object .
The New York Independent, in
commenting upon the protest from
Oregon regarding the proposed ap
pointment of-A ttorney -General Mc
Kenna to the supreme bench, says:
"There are two opinions about Attorney-General.
McKenna, one in
sisting that he does not rank as
lawyer or judge with the men who"
occupy tbe supreme bench; the other
that be has eminent judicial capacity
and will be a most satisfactory asso
ciate justice. ; An extraordinary
petition, signed by two federal
judges, state judges and lawyers in
Oregon, has been sent to the presi
dent, asking him not to appoint Mr.
Kenno, alleging that he has neither
tbe ''natural gifts, acquired learning
nor decision of character" to qualify
him for any judicial position of im
portance. This, we say, is extraor
dinary. .. Whatever motive has
prompted il, the president must give
it consideration. Only men of
eminent legal ability and known
judicial capacity should be nomin
ated for the supreme bench."
An examination of the returns of
the recent election in New York City
shows that the average vote on the
Tammany ticket was 148,000. Vun
Wyck receiving 142,000. Tbe aver
age Republican vote was 64,400,
Tracy receiving 55,800. ,,The aver
age vote of the. Citizens' Union Is
62,100, Mr. Low receiving 77,200.
Mr. Low was the only candidate for
mayor who ran ahead of the average
vote for bis ticket. . The normal Re
publican vote ought to be about
110,000, on tbe basis of 106,000 cast
for Harrison in 1892. Taking, that
figure, it would appear that the vote
for Tracy was scarcely, half of, the
party strength. To whom did the
other 55,000 go? asks a New York
paper. The answer is easy. They
did not go to Mr. Low, and un
doubtedly most of them found tbeir
way to Tammany. Thus is substan
tiated the charge that Piatt is respon
sible for the defeat of good govern
ment in "New York.
It is stated that more eastern capi
tal is beaded towards Oregon City
for investment. This is because Ore
gon City is known the country over
for its manufacturing advantages,
and yet tbey are not one whit greater
than can be 'obtained at The Dalles.
If we could makeone start in this
direction and give our peculiar qual
ifications as a manufacturing center
a chance to be known, capital would
soon be directed to The Dalles. , It
is a strange, strange thing that satis
factorily as our growth has been in
other respects, we have continually
neglected perhaps the most import
ant foundation for future prosperity.
Every agitation of this subject
helps it along, and the more talk and
attention given it, the more likely is
something tangible to result.
The successful launching of tbe
new lightship at l'orllanu Saturday
shows that tbe Pacific Northwest
does not have to send to the East or
elsewhere for finished products.
Everything . that . can be bought at
home should be done, whether it bo
be lightships or butter and eggs.
La Grande has guaranteed a sub
sidy of $80,000 for tbe establishment
of a beet sugar industry at that
place. Such enterprise is what
makes a town grow, and if the deal
has beep made with responsible and
honest parties, the investment will be
a paying one for La Grande citizens.

CAN DIEGO OARSWOMEN.
rir .Girls Make at Record for S&vlava;
Twenty Lives.
-Tn; February, 1891,-four girls of San
Diego, Cal., formed a boat 'club, and
borrowing- a butcher's bumboat started
merrily oft to race with, the well
equipped rowing clubs that practice all
the summer through upon the sapphire
crescent that curves toward Coronodo's
golden beach.
At first people smiled a little at the
idea of four young girls going in for
the muscular, exercise, but now that
these young women have made a record
by savrng 20 lives the Zlac club is recog
nized everywhere in southern Califor
nia. The name means nothing, but the
girlish whim of the oarswemen, Zulette
Lamb and Lena Polhcmvs with her two
sisters, Agnes and Carrie, for it is
formed of the first letters of tfceirChris
tian names; but the club has come to
stand f or something on the ccast and its
members wear decorations more hon
orable than medals for race winning.
. After the club was formed a" rigid set
of rules and regulations were framed
and constitution adopted. Every can
didate for membership was required to
pass a severe physical examination, in
which a swimming contest was a con
spicuous feature. Other clauses were
unique, and one of the "shall nots" has
necessitated a revision of the member
ship roll, as it prohibits marriage or
matrimonial intentions : among the
crew. : :
. The San Diego Bowing club, one of
the leading organizations of the coast,
tendered the Zlacs the use of a six-oar
single-scull barge, in which they be
came very proficient, racing against
time on Ladies' day,. July 5, 1S94, and
breaking all previous coast records. On
that day the Zlacs also distinguished
themselves by saving four, of the crew
of the yawl Teaser, which capsized dur
ing the rcgetta. . The club records show
that since then more than 20 persons
have been rescued from drowning by
the Zlac, and it is a notable fact that
there never has been the slightest ac
cident, to mar the other side of the
ledger.. The Zlacs after a time decided
to build their own barge. . The splendid
eight-oared racing barge . Zlac -was
launched August 3, 189G. It cost $600
complete, and was all paid for by the
girls, none of whom iswealthyJ'.
On - August 7 the Zlacs raced the
Nereid crew cf eight., beating them oyer
a mile coursc,by one boat's length, and
on September 13 a second victory was
reeorCerl against a picked ercw from all
the clubs, the. prize being a splendid
French mirror now in us in the Zlac
clubhouse. On March 25 of this year
occurred the j great race between the
Zlacs and Columbius for the pennant of
the United States coast defense vessel
Monterey and the championship of the
coast. Both ..crews., rowed .six-oar
barges over a course of - 6,000 yards
straight down the bay. The presence
in the harbor of six of Uncle Sam's big
war ships, commanded by Hear Admiral
Beardslec, and a whole ballroom full
of gallant naval officers, lent an added
interest .to the occasion. Chicago

VICTORIA'S REGAL RIGHT.
Why the Mccc- of William IV. Was
. Called .to the Throne. si
Several newspapers, in exjplaining
to their readers how Queen Victoria
came to suceceed William IV., say it was
because ehe was his niece. That is the
truth, but only half the truth, for Wil
liam IV. had nephews and other nieces.
George Ill.'s first, second, third and
fourth sons were respectively the prince
of Wales, afterwards George IV., who
died childless in 1630; Frederick, duke
of York, who died in 1S27, also without
children; William, duke of Clarence,
who died, William IV.. June 20, 1837,
without lawful issue, and Edward, tluke
of Kent and Strathcam, and earl of
Dublin, who died January 23, 1820, aged
53, leaving as the sole issue of his mar
riage with Princess Victoria of Lein
ingen a baby daughter, now Queen Vic
toria.' The queen succeeded William
IV., not simply because she was his
niece, but because she wa3 the only
child of the brother next to him in
the' order of succession. " Had Queen
Victoria had a brother, she would in
all probability not have been a person
age of historical celebrity, save in the
contingency of succeeding him. Her
rights were those that devolved on her
from her father. At the time she sue-;
ceeded to the throne her uncles the
dukes of Cumberland, of Sussex and
Cambridge were living, younger
brothers of her father and junior . to'
him in the line of succession' in the or
der named. The duke of Cumberland
(who became king of Hanover on the
death of William TV.) was a man of
such despotic temsper and principles
that all England cherished the Princess
Victoria as standing between it and
his succession to the throne. He had
lawful" issue, as had the duke of Cam
bridge. The duke of Sussex, a most
estimable man, married '' twice, . but
these unions being repugnant to the
provisions of the royal marriage act,
his children were barred -from the line
of succession. From the revolution of
1688 rose the Jacobite party, made r.p
of those who supjported the cause of
James II., his sons and descendants.
The. picturesque modern Jaccfoitea do
not recognize Queen Victoria, despite
the fact that her succession, is due td
her Stuart blood, for she is a direct
descendant of Elizabeth, daughter of
James I., to whose heirs the title to
the throne devolved by the act of set
tlement on the death of Anne. Boston

SEVERAL YEARS AND THOUSAKDS "OF, DOLLARS EXPEKQED.
An Expert Accountant and Bookkeeper of Detroit Troubled with
: Hereditary Scrofula in its Worst FormSpends a Small
Fortune Seeking to Find a Cure.
From the Evening
James H. Wallace, the veil known ex
pert accountant and bookkeeper, of Detroit,
Mich., lately had a remarkable. extxrience.
and a reporter called at his pretty borne 240
Sixth Street, to interview him regarding it.
He found Mrs. Wallace in the miust of house
cleaning, and after the reporter stated the
object of hia visit Mrs. Wallace said: "You
had better see Mr. Wallace at the office of
C. A. Haberkorn & Co., table manufactory
on Orchard Street, and he will tell you of
this experience much better than i." A. visit
was made to the omce of the above concern
where Mr. Wallace was seen. " I am," said
Mr. Wallace, " yet a young man, still I have
suffered nntold. agonies and tortures. I was
born .with that awful hereditary disease
known as scrofula, and what I suffered can
not be well described.
The first physicians that treated me said
it was a constitutional blood disorder and by
constant treatment and diet it might be
eared. The blood purifiers and spring re
medies I used only made the ernptions more
aggressive and painful. In 1S88 I was a
fearful looking, sight and was in fact re
pulsive. On' ray limbs were large ulcere
which were very painful, arid from which
there was a continual discharge. In three
years I spent over $3000 in medicine and
medical services and grew worse instead of
tetter. I tried the medical baths, and in
1893 went to Medicine Lake, Washington,
but was not benefited. I then tried some
proprietary medicine, but did not receive any
benefit. .
" One day in the fall of 1895 while reading
the paper I noticed an article about Dr. Wil
liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, bnt did
not give it much attention. That afternoon
irhile moving some books I broke an nicer
en my leg and nearly fainted, the pain made
me sick and I had to stop work. While it-
TORNADO DRILLS
IN KANSAS.
Caves
Are Being; Ballt Under Sehool
. Honaee. " :..
We have fire drills in our publics
schools in tbe east, and very effective
drills they have proved in more than one
case of emergency. In Kansas they
have no fire drills, or, if they have, we
have still to hear of it. . Out there tor
nadoes are more to be dreaded than
fires, anfl the schoolchildren are now
being trained in tornado drills, says the
New York Sun. '. '
When tornadoes strike a Kansas
town everybody makes at . once for
prairies ' It is the only, way to escape
death from flying doors and chimneys,
falling trees and toppling buildings.
Schoolchildren are trained to know this
from the cradle, and on these occasions
rush pell mell for the . nearest bit of
clear prairie attainable. But many
children have been maimed and even
killed in these terrible storms. ,
So they have started a movement
throughout the' state to have tornado
caves built under the schoolhouses large
enough to nccommodate all the children
while the blow lasts. And here comes
in the tornado drill,' which is already
being put into practice.
It is very much like our own fire drill.
The teacher sounds the alarm on the
piano and the children all stand up.
Then the march is played, and out they
go in good order, down the stairs and
into the cave. '
Then let the winds blow! Let the
entire building fall in ruins! The chil
dren are safe and have only to be dug
out.
QUAKER CITY ECONOMY.
Watchmen and Guides Dlngasted
Lioae Their Brass Buttons.
There couldn't possibly be in all this
city another crowd of men so disgusted
as were the watchman, guides and ele
vator men at the city hall, says the
Philadelphia Eecord. It was all because
the public buildings commissioners had
been ' seized with what the men con
sidered a ridiculous attack of economy.
This is. the time of the year when all
uniformed men in the employ of the
city prepare to change their winter
clothing for their summer garments.
Now,, the uniforms worn by the city hall
men are profusely adorned with brass
buttons bearing the seal of the city, and
; the! municipal authorities are particu
larly careful to see that none of these
buttons shall ever go astray. It is, in
fact, a punishable offense for a common
citizen to have in his possession one of
these buttons. Accordingly when each
man appeared for duty, he was called
to the front and an official, armed with
a pair of shears, snipped off all the city's
buttons from the victim's uniform ex
cept one, which was left to hold the coat
across the chest. Fortunately the sus
pender buttons on the trousers are jus
the ordinary kind, without any muni
cipal insignia, otherwise there would
certainly have been a strike. The croj
of buttons thus gathered in was sent
to the tailor, who had finished th
summer uniforms up to the point of a':
taching those necessary little articled

ting in the chair I again noticed the Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills article in the news
paper which was laying on the floor. 1 read
it carefully and immediately decided to give
the pills a trial, as the account which I read
had been of a case similar to mine. I sent
the 'office boy over to Frank Hour's drug
store for a box and took some that afternoon.
I continued their use and before I had used
one box I noticed an improvement. I grew
better rapidly and all my friends noticed the
improvement, and6ifter taking eight boxes
there was not a sore on my person.
"I am covered with scars from the ulcers
but since that time I have not seen a single
indication of the old trouble. I continued
the use of the pills long after I was cured as

disease.
"If I only had bought Dr. Williams' Pink

be thousands of dollars ahead and had five
years of health and happiness instead of
