A joint resolution for a constitutional
amendment calling for the election of
United States senators by popular vote
instead of by the legislatures of the states
has already passed the national house
f representatives. This is one of the
ehanges that the Twentieth century will
probably witness. Then different polit
ical parties in a legislature can no longer
lock horns and stay locked till warm
weather thaws them out.
That is an excellent plan for relieving
the poor that was devised by the Ou
cinnati chief of police. Instead of open
ing souphouses to feed both the just aud
the unjust, this shrewd chief had all the

It is to be hoped that the proposed in
vestigation of the Nicaragua Canal com
pany win be carried through to the end,
and the disbursing agentsof thecompanr
be required to account for the way in
which every cent they rmid ont was ex
pended. This will now bo necessary in
view of the Panama scandal. The agents
of the company will doubtless welcome
as eagerly as anybody this opportunity
to show their countrymen that the busi
ness of the Nicaragua canal is in clean
hands. We shall havo no Panama scan
dal in America. The public will want
to know on exactly what kind of a basis
the Nicaragua canal stands before in
vesting money in it. and tho directors of
the enterprise will of course be only too
glad to show how honestly and econom
ically the fnnds have thus far been man
asm!. Hayes had some distinguished men in
his cabinet during his term of the presi
dency and was not jealous of them.
Among them were William M. Evarts,
secretary of state; Carl Schurx, secre

secretary of the treasury. Carl Schurz
supports Mr. Cleveland now, but he was
a stanch Republican in 1876. John
Sherman distinguished himself by the

The medical profession really begins
to believe that cancer can be cured.
The cure is effected through knowledge
of. microbes. There Is a microbe for
each disease, and the cancer germ has
been already discovered. The first step
toward finding the cure was the discov
ery that if patients affected with cancer
were suddenly taken, with certain other
diseases as, for instance, erysipelas the
cancer ceased its ravages during the
progress of the other ailment. This was
known a century ago. But not till re
cently was the cause discerned through
the germ theory. It was found ont that
the bacteria of certain diseases were hos
tile to one another and waged war upon
one another in the human blood when
they met. - If, then, the cancer patient is
Inoculated with tho erysipelas virus, the
microbes of the two diseases attack one
another and the erysipelas germ de-
troys' tue cancer germ, it is Claimed
that certain cures of the dread cancer
have been effected in this way in New
York and in Berlin. Paris and Vienna.
The Jewish Colony In New Jersey.
Early in tho yeur 1801 the American
agentsof Baron Hirsch bought 5,100 acres
of wild pine lands in southern New Jer
sey. This was in anticipation of the ar
rival of a large numler of Russian Jewish
exiles. They came, and the real colony was
founded in April, 1801. Most of the men
had been tradesmen in Russia, but it
was partly to. keep them from over
crowding still more the field of peddling
and small merchandising among their
race in America that the attempt was
made to put them to fanning. The 5,100
acres were divided into 80-acre plots,
which represented the farm that was to
be allotted to each family. It was a
very small farm, according to American
Ideas; still the result shows that the
founders of the colony calculated cor
rectly. The families were settled upon
the plots with the privilege of buying
them, being allowed twelve years to pay
for thein. -
The result thus far has been gratify
ing in all respects. The first work done
by tha colonists was to chop down the
pine trees and clear the ground; the
next was to cultivate the soil. Professor
H. L. Sabsovitch, a learned Russian
Jew, who came to America some years
ago, gavo up his place as professor of
chemistry at the Colorado state agricul
tural experiment station to take charge
of the farming operations of the exiles
in New Jersey. Cloak aud trousers fac
tories have been established besides the
farming industry, and the Russian Jew
ish colony promises to add substantially
to the wealth of southern Jersey. There
are now about 1,000 people in the colony.
Woodbine is their postoIBce and railroad
station. Many of them have taken out
preliminary naturalization papers.
Xfca Wild Career of a Xosus Chicago Bam.
Some small boys fastened a wire to
one of those wooden hams which are
nsed for advertising purposes, and to the
other end of the wire attached a lot of
fish hooks, then dropped the fish hooks
into the Madison street cable slot at
Madison street, near Halstcd. The hooks
quickly took hold of the running cable,
and away sped the ham toward the set
ting sun.
- At Green stroet it struck and tossed
into the mud handsomely dressed Jim I
Do Meyer, the wine connoisseur. At
Loomis street it struck an Italian's hand
cart laden with fresh roasted peanuts
and popcorn and scattered the load over
the road. The ham journeyed right on.
leaving the son of Italy and tho street
newsboys to fight over tho peanuts and
colliding with tho flying imitation pork.
As the frayed edged ham danced along
near Western avenue it caught the eye
of a nearsighted saloon keeper.
"What a nice addition." muttered he.
; "to my free lunch counter." He grabbed
! a board, threw himself into position like
a grand stand ball player as he comes to
bat, aud as the ham approached him he
swiped it about amid ship, broke the wire
and acquired the ham. The loafers who,
clad in their beet clothes, stood lazily
smoking cigars on the sidewalk, gently
led the ham grabbing saloon keeper into
his saloon near by. Chicago Tribune

"Do yon know where the comet has
gone!" asked one of our citizens. "Well,"
he continued, 'Til tell you that, in my
opinion, it hasn't gone anywhere. I
think it is here all about us. We are
daily breathing comet, sneezing comet
and feeling comet. We cant see it and
probably don't smell it. but when the
astonomers lost it I think it was because
we ran into it or it over us before we
knew it. This cold and unsettled weather
throughout the world must be due to
the presence in our path of a vapor that
absorbs or Intercepts tho heat of the sun.
Ton know some of the savants of the
skies said the comet was only a vapor
spread throughout a mighty area of
space, luminous by absorption or reflec
tion at a great distance from us, but in
visible if about us, and contained not
enough solid matter to make a handful

Jam Samuels Straus Story.
Jumes Samuels, of Dubuque, a sergeant
in the Twenty-first Iowa, was one of the
seventy-five Americans who went to
Cuba twenty years ago on the steamer
Virginius and were shot by the Span
iards at Santiago. His name appeared
in the list of tho dead, and his family
mourned him as such. They have just
received a letter from him written at the
Soldiers' homo, Covington, Ind. He states
that he was shot through the head and
left for dead. Chance friends nursed
him hack to health, but the shot de
stroyed his memory, and the past was a
blank. By some means unknown to him
he recently reached Chicago, where he
was recognized by an army comrade,
who brought him to Covington, where
his memory was restored. Cor. Chicago

at Eugene, is one of tho best and oldest
newspapers in Oregon and it has gaiuod
a reputation of saying things in so
clever a manner as to convince its read

whether they reallT wr or not. Gere
is an example which will take The

out if It he true:

In the Days Long Agone.
The Talent News don't make much
pretence at printing what is termed by
the newspaper fraternity a "blanket
sheet," but even though miniature in
size it prints some very interesting
reading matter. For instancn the ar
ticle on "Early Times' in the "new"
days of Southern Oregon from the pen
of Mr. Welborn Bieson, which appears
beloir:
"There was no U. S. mail through
this country for several years after the
pioneers had formed quite a settlement.
We obtained our communications as
best we could. It generally occupied
six months to receive answers to our
letters written "to the girls we left be
hind us."
In the spring of 1&4 there was a to
tal eclipse of the sun; but having re
ceived do almanacs for that yevr, we
kne v nothing about iu It took place
about 10 o'clock in the morning of a
bright May day. People were at their
usual avocations when all at once it be
gun to grow dark and yet there were
no clouds viMDle. it made a singular
fueliogeome over us: and I do not won
der at tho Indians being so easily
frightened by Columbus, with the
eclipse ho told them about. The writer
of this wa&av wot-lc with others build
ing fence; we could with difficulty ii
tinsruish objects at a short distance.
Capt. J. M. McCalL, now of Ashland,
came riding up and after consulting
ttn him we came to the conclusion
that it was an eclipse, which proved to
be the case when our long-delayed al
manacs arrived around Capo Horn via
the Sandwich Islands, which we had
ordered the fall before.
Later on. C C. Beekman, of Jackson
ville, at the time traveling with his
family, betran to carry express over the
mountains, making connection with the
outside world at Shasta Citv. The
price we paid for a paper or book like
Harpers Monthly was one dollar, and
we were glad to get our letters at any
price.
It was dansrerous crossing the moun
tains: there were lious, bears, Indians,
and, worst of all. highwaymen that did
not stop long beiore ifley bred II tbey
thought their victim had money and
would resist. Wra. Rockefeller soon
had what was called a passenger poav
ex press and made regular trips carry
ing passengers eacn way. It then be
came less dangerous for the hitherto
lonely expressman.
About this time, quite a number of
our miuing population, who had come
alone, and lell tbeir lamilies behind,
began to send for them, directing them
to come by steamer via the Isthmus,
thence up tho Sacramento river to
Shasta City, then take the mule or po
ny train for Rogue river. A number
of the ladies or our valley could tell of
their hairbreadth escapes and wonder
ful adventures, while traveling the
narrow trail over the mountains be
tween here and Shasta Citv, where if
any one had said at that time that a
railroad would be constructed, he
would have been considered insane to
think of such a thing.

Pneumonia.
At no time in the history of the coun
try has pneumonia been so prevaleut
as during the winter months of the
last two years. In times past a com
mon cold was not considered at all se
rious, but of late years the great ten
dency of colds to result in pneumonia
has made pcoplo apprehensive The
trouble is . that colds are not always
properly treated. No preparation con-talning'o-piuui,
wild cherry or chloro
form should be used, as they have a
tendency to dry up a cold, whereas it
should be lonseaea aud the lungs re
lieved. It has been observed that
when Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is
used tho cold never results in pneumo
nia. The reason is that, this remedy
stimulates the mucous membrane which
lines the throat and lungs, to a healthy
action, causes a free expectoration,
throwing off the poisouess matter, and
counteracts any teudoncy toward pneu
monia. For sale by G. II. Haskins,

On the night of the big Twenty-third
street fire Dr. Buddingtcn, anxious to
get home and not knowing any reason
why he should not do so, poshed his
way through the crowd. A policeman
ordered him back, and on his failing at
once to obey knocked him down. Dr.
Buddingtcn, under the influence of the
stinging blows, struck the policeman
and was at once handcuffed and taken
to the station house. The question
which suggests itself is. How long must
an orderly and law abiding citizen stand
being clubbed by a policeman before he
has a right to defend himself? New

be wishful that this distinguished French
