While ordinarily the ourllur a matter of ttiis sort can tie brought to tormiuation the hotter for all oonceriied, it appears that the grand jury has fyet some work to do in this connection, that .further in dietnieuts are expected, and for that reason tho postponement, as deslgnat ed, is not only expedient but desir able. It will be far better to have this hiimilitating matter dealt with uontinuously until it is out of tho way. At thOjbost it is a stench in the nostrils of the state, and tho mucker it is disposed f tho more satisfactory it will prove to every body.

The audience at the presentation of "Nettie, the News Girl,' at Wilson's opora house Monday even lug was not nearly what it should have been.

The Railway Problem From Hallway Xgv. The discussion of the litst few mouths has given the public a good deal of light on tho complex question of railway rules, and tho railways and public- are getting constat tly closer together. They are in com plete accord ou the question, of re buts and discriminations. It is be ing made plain thut a railroad does not give up its .revenue voluntarily. Kebiites are discriminations, while harmful commercially and unjustifi able ethecially, measure the extent to which the railroads are at the mercy of the shippers. Cue shipper, will! seek to obtain n advantage over his; competitors, even if to that end it i.v necessary for him to violuto the law himself and procuro its voiiutioii by; the currier. Communities, especially largo commercial centers, are no less suscoptible to this disease. The present rate war,, in which grain is being carried at much less thais rea sonable figures-, is- simply tbo result of au attempt to by one market to gain advantage otop another.

Heeuuso of special penance and prayer, Kent is pre eminently tho season of spirit ual revival in the churches. Lent. is supposed to have Its origin in a desire to coininemoraate the forty days of fasting of tho Savior in the wilderness, and his temptation by Satan. At Hrst it lasted only forty hours the length of time Christ lay iu the grave. However, iu time it developed into a regularly prescribed fast, observed by Christians generally, its duration iu tho tifth or sixth century being extended to thiny-aix days. KUher Gregory the Great, in tho sixth century, or George 11, in the eighth, added four days to make out tho forty. A prominent divine once said thut one of tho most impressive features of the great experience which the Lenten season commemoraates was its solitariness. Withdrawal from all companionship and in the silence and loneliness of tho dessert, tre mendous temptations came and were resisted, affording the Hrst test of divine strougth.

Newtown Trers for Sale. Change Both Names. The Portland Oregouiau is advo cating thut tho name of Snake river bo changed, and suggests the original Indian uaine of Shoshone, it was almost bratal to give that splendid streuia tk name of Snake, and the mistake Uing realized it is only roatiouttbltt that a change should be made, ltd nothing could be better thuu the Indian term suggested by the Orvfonian. But right here iu South wii Oregon w another caso, al most identical. The beautiful stream thet ruee through Jackson, Josephine and Carry counties to the sea has bees givea the vile name of Kogue river. It is un ugly and misleading name tbet has nothing to commend it, though it Is claimed that the title was given because of the thieving qualities of the Indians who inhabited the valley. Precisely the same ex planation is offered for the naming of the Snnko. If wo could get at the truth, there is probably not a parti cle of justification for either name. In the "early days, the white ad venturers considered all Indians thieves uud snakes, but that is no evidence that they were so. And oven if they were, that is no reason that the epithets should be perman ently attached to splendid streams that aro the beauty of tho districts through which they flow. We are not so fortunate as tho OregGuiau iu having a suitable name to suggest instead of "Rogue," but it might yet be possible to discover the ori ginal given to the Southern Oregon sti .jfu by tho native Indians. It would bo probably euphonious, judg ing by the Indian names of other streams here and further north, as the Umpquu at Roseburg, and the Abiqua at Siivorton. Perhaps some old settler could tell us the original Indian name of Rogue river? Rats Invade House, From I'oFtlHnil Telegram. ' What appears to be a remarkable rat story comes from Mount Tabor, There is au old barn, from which the recent cold wave drove tho scores 1 of rats which infested the structure, i Tho rodents sought refrtge in a house neur by, Mocking into the cellar and wandering through tbo cottage.
