Some men would be millionaires
if they expended the same amount
of energy aud cash iu a legitimate
business that they sjieud trying to
guess which horse will win a race
or which numbers will prove the
lucky oues in a lottery draw iug.
Hkuuket SrK.vci'.R, writing to
Dr. Janes, of the Brooklyn Kthica
society, observes: "In my earlier
days I constantly marie I lie foolish
supposition that conclusive proof,
would change beliefs. Itut ex peri
ence has long since dissipated my
faith in men's rationality."
The Portland Tvlrgram, the even

The Democrats would take a little
interest iu the paper if they knew

publican half. Some things are

It m always an item to make as
much as possible out of the prod
nets of the farm, and one w ay of
doing this is to feed thrifty growing
stock under such conditions as will
secure the best gains at the lowest
cost. While a good deal depends
on the material supplied and the
manner of feeding, the grade or
quality of the stock must also be
considered.
Ax editor is a man. He can
bear'more ridicule than any man
alive or dead, and ho never dies in
a lunatic asylum. They often die
in poverty as wen as in. an. 1 riere
are many kinds of editors rich,
poor, handsome, homely, long,
short, knock-kneed, pigeon toed,
good, bad and indifferent. We be
long to the class that is poor and
handsome.
The spec acie of Carter H. liar,
rison, a two times millionaire, auo
a seeker for the third party nomi
inatfon, inveighing against pluto
crats as the author of the poor man's
woes, is about as refreshing as was
that of lien TSutlcr making a canvas
of the country in a luxuriantly
equipped private car as the special
champion of the , workingman
against his rich oppressors. It can
ot be possible that such alwurd
dern'igogy can be taken seriously in
the people of any nation upon
earth.
A OR RAT SCHOOL:
One of (he greatest nnihil Ion of
many wealthy men of lids ago
seems to be to perpetuate their
names by the forming of great In
stitutions of learning. It is under
stood that W. a LmM and 11, W.
Coibott, of lVu tland, have each ex
pressed their intention of contribu
ting one million dollars for the
founding of a great university at
Portland, to bo conducted under
the auspice of the Presbyterian
church, and they hope to secure
pledget of au additional million
from the church at large- for the
same otyect, thus starting out their
proposed university with an equip '
mentofthii luillion dollars. It
was with a inowlwlgo of this fact
aud a Arm desire to start out this
Institution under the most favor
able auspice that the Fresh) teriau
churches of Oregon, and of Fort-'
land iu particular, made such earn
eudwivora to secure for Fort
luud the meet ing of the geueral as
sembly of the Frtwbytertau church
for the year l Wi This a.wimbly,
which is to gather together the Ul
brains aud lHst bliHula of the Fres
byterlan church in the I'nited
ytnti'H, will lie of more thau 01 di
nary iutemt, for the reason that
it will mark the ineeptiou of what
is to be the greatest institution ol
learning on the Northwest Iaeltlc
coast. Siim Mifrmmt.

The farmers are all right. There
are some broken down politician

and disgracing them by prouiulga

alone, and that, by the eternal, as
JacVsou used to say, they will have.
Wheu the agricultural states tram
pledowuthe barriers of civil war
Ki'tioualism, and unite, they will
restore the old untou of frugal and
free government, responsive to the
will of a jKHiple whose labor will
then accrue to benefit themselves

The authority for the slang
phrase, "to fire out,'' has Is cn hap
pily found to be the great Hhuke
sMflre himsi'lf, who wrote in one
of his sonnets, "Till my gml an
gel fire my bad one out."
Another bit of modern slang is
now found to be, If not as old s
the alove, at least old enough to
command respect aud silence criti
cism. When Alexander Suwaroff,
one of the best generals of Cath
erine III of Russia, stormed Ismail,
in 17!H), he annouced his success to
the empress as follows: "Praise be
todod, and praise he to you: (he!
fortress is taken, and I am In it." 1
Fohtv years ago the millionaires
could be counted on the fingers of a
hand. ' Now there are 10,000 mil
lionaires, and half the wealth of
04.000,000 people is in the hands of
25,000 men. Acting on the belief
that vast wealth in the hands of
the" few would produce traitors,
Thomas Jefferson swept from the
statutes of Virginia the laws of
primogeniture. What are the peo
ple of this day and age going to do
to stay the hand of corporate power
from grasping the entire wealth of
the country, and thus enslave the
people!
TiiK greatest boom failure in the

about a half rio.en children to enter

watch tho spectacle. The bubble
