EDITORIAL.
As announced on some small “to-day”
bills, Gen. J. B. Weaver will make a
grand speech in the Opera House,
Wednesday, “APRIL” 6, 1896—a month
behind time. Well, if he is not more
than a month behind time when it comes
to election, he may think himself lucky.
The “ Newsboy ” and the “ Star,” of
Portland, have consolidated under the
name of the “ Newsboy-Star.”
The
paper is official organ of the Newslnjys’
and Messengers’ Benevolent Association,
and is soon to be enlarged. We wish
the new management and sheet success.
A new department of the A dvertiser
beginning with this issue is that of the
“ W. C. T. U. Gleams” on 4th page.
This space is rented and edited by the
ladies of the Ashland W. C. T. U. The
contents of this department will cer
tainly be beneficial to these who read
them.

One curious thing is noticed
One which fate has oft instilled,
That there always will be peaches.
Even when the peach crop’s killed.
We may miss them from the orchard,
But the basket comes in filled,
For there always will be peaches,
Even when the peach crop’s killed.
Bear this hint in mind, my comrade:
Never let your hopes be chilled;
Always, somewhere, there are peaches,
Even when the peach crop’s killed.

The committee to whom was referred
the Sunday closing ordinance petition
objected to the passage of such an ordi
nance as follow’s:
1st—The petition asks for an ordinance
in conformity with the state law', and
the state law is ample for prosecution of
its violation.
2d—Such an ordinance W’ould discrim
inate against those Christian denomin
ations who observe Saturday only as
their Sabbath.
j
3d—The financial condition of the
City will not permit the the tedious and
vexatious litigation which would un
doubtedly follow’ the passage of such an
ordinance.
4th—A decided majority of our busi
ness men did not sign the petition, and
therefore did not approve it.
