TK Democrats of Now York nominated Rosmelll Flower for governor. The ticket now stauds Fassett versus Flower. The cam paign speakers are now in their glory, each on saying to the other, "you're auother." The period of a generation has been lengthened; it used to bo thir ty years, and later increased to thlr ty-four; now a scientist says the av erage tvrm of human life has iu vreused iu the last fifty years from thirty-four to forty-two years. k rive the exact Act Ju our eilitorial roluius this week in refer euco to tho two Congressional dis tricts in O'-egon, A great many people want to kuow the exact counties in each district File this nuinlier of the Vjt SlDK and you have it. k Tuk Democrats and Republicans .of New York are equally metallic ally equipiMHl for the coming cam paigu in that state. The Demo cratic candidate for governor has a "bar'P with a faucet to it, while the Republicans have a Faasett with a "bnr'r" to it. Honors are equal. . A new piano-forte key -board hav ing six rows of keys has recently been exibijed in Manchester, Eng land. An octave is formed by six keys in two continuous rows. All the keys are on the same level, and each note is serrated from the next by an interval of two jtemi tones. j . ' The Dalles editors are calling each other very hard tiamesjust now. The failure of water, from some cause, during the recent fires there seems to be the bone of con tention. Roys, you should not be naughty, but that the city should provide water facilities in case of fire is a fact that needs no argument. Last Thursday's issue of the Oregonian was an expression of western enterprise highly com. mendable. The truth is that the Oregonian is a magnificent metro politan newspaper, the character of its news of the world is .solid, reliable and unacnsational. Its editorial columns treat ably upon a greater variety of subjects than any other paper in the United States. t ' Ilorf. Rooek Q. Mara, cfTexa.. : and Hon. Binger Hermann, of Ore gon, are great friends. If Mr. Mills is elected speaker of the House of Representatives, which he will be, then Mr. Hermann will get such a position upon tho com mittees which will be quite advant ageoimto Oregon. It is a good thing to be on good terms with the whole world, and especially with the Texans right now. The man who attempts to floor Jerry Simpson, when he is "doing the oratorical" attempts tho impos sible. For instance, the other day Simpson, in one of his speeches, while eulogizing Daniel Webster, referred, in complimentary terms, to his dictionary. A friend on the stage pulled Simpson's coat-tail, and whispered: "Noah was the man who made the dictionary." Simpson gave his friend a scornful look and whiHpered back: "Noah built the ark," and went on , with his oration. , This, from the Argmuiut, is worth repeating till the youth of non- wealthy parents cease to envy their "more favored" companions; and until parents, whether rich or poor, learn their obligation to supply to their children that heritage of hon orable example and instruction which poor and rich alike can be stow: "It is nlinost a misfortune to be reared with the hope of inherit ing money. It Is (better to have the moral and iutelcctual surround ings, the examples and teachings of honorable parents, than to be reared in indulgence, idleness and extrav agance, look lug forward to the death of parcnlH for the means to enjoy life."

The Portland Ttleontm has the following, controlling the Jfi-ess day at Portland last Monday : That was a uWsunt tratheHmr the newspaper inon had up in the exposition building laxt night is reirwning to a newspH'r man to get away from his busy worksltoo for even hi short it time to ludutge in social pleasures. ine exposition itutungera are good nosis nun made it agreeable tor (he bovi. The Khow was worth Urn visit, and the visitors were worthy me snow. The Salem Stuttma sluritiirly says this: AUhe "press day" blowout in Portland Monday, the newspaper men of t he state were eonnniniimn only by their nbseuee. The smtmrntn ought to know that the list iu attemlanee shows over forty ncwsiiaper men of Oregon present This is a largo number for any one particular day. The whole press of the state will visit the exposit ion before it closes. AH could not attend ou that day. even the Sttttema had no representative there, htraiige, that the Stittwm would criticise the Wit SttK for its criticisms of the State Fair, and the above is a sample of like work, but with a different motive. We were right, the Stutrmim sccuis jealous of Portland. A FAUJ.W OFF. The last day of the State fair was well attended. The receipts for the week were t.VU.50 agaimtt ,..V.- 50 for ISM). The race track re. eeipta were l18t.(5 against :', OLD. 50 last year. The 2:22 trot was won by lUondie in three straight heats; best time, 8:251. The Ore gon iVrby was won by Misty Moru in 2:5tlj. The seelal trot was wou by Klamath, best time 2:;J0.--i. It is very strung that with the prosimrity which good crops' should inspire, that the actual receipts all arouud, at the gate of general ad mission and at the raw track, that there should be a net falling off of '!. 75 from last year at the State fair. Poor management, and pet schemes do doubt h-d to this defi cit W hear more complaints this year concerning the imumgc.rs of the fair than evi-r lielore.

The heaviest modern ordnance istho Krimp 410-ton gun- Its charge is 000 pounds .of tho best prismatic gun-powder, and the cyl indrical steel shot weighs 1,800 pounds. At the last test this enor mous shot penetrated entirely through compressed armor (steel faced iron) .twenty inches thick; then through an iron backing five inches thick; then it pierced wholly through twenty feet of oak, five feet of granite and eleven feet of hard concrete and three foot into a brick wall. No existing fortress, much less armored vessel, could coirld withstand such a shot. . The time required for a journey around the earth by a man walk ing day and night without rest would be 428 days; an express train, 40 days; sound, at a medium temperature, .'521 hours; cannon ball, 211 hours; light, a little over one tenth of a 'second; electricity, passing over a copper wire, a little less than one tent h of a second.
