THKThompson lloutiton and the Edison eleetrio comnnniea have consolidated their capital and enor nioua iuteresta.

Record are having quite a time concerning the eovernment of their beautiful city. We remem ber well when Uiere was not a saloon in Ashland, and when the "Ashland Academy'' was the con ter of attraction. Now the "Al hambra saloou" claims all the at tention of Ashland's law-abiding citizens. We never hear of the Bchool now-a days. The state of Oregon appropriates 150,000 for a reform school at Salem, and which school contains a couple of dozen of recalcitrant youths whose parents should have the ntate's oversight instead of the children, and the $50,000 appropri ated to make room for the 400 stu. dents and public-school teachers now crowding the State Normal School at Monmouth, which would go far to prevent crime among the youths of our state. Edihos claims that his new elec tric motor will relegate the steam locomotive to obscurity, and that the use of steam for rail car propul sion is at an end. Edison expects to have his electric engine attain a speed of 100 miles an hour. The first railway will bo operated be- tween Chicago and Milwaukee. Henry Villard thinks that in two years the Northern Pacific will move its trains by electric power. It is possible. All things are pos sible to unfettered intelligence, Jon. PuimEB,editorof the New York TTorfd, has the greatest newspaper in the world; but ho has no stomach, and his eyesight is about gone a pitiable object after all. People are beginning to real ize that the man is the best off who Is the healthiest, The following is to the point: Many a man is rich without money. Thousands of men with nothing in their pockets, and thousands without even a pocket, are rich. A man oorn witn a good, sound constitution, a good stomach, a good heart, and good limbs, a pretty good head piece, is rich. Good bones are better than gold,' tough muscles than silver, and nerves that (lash fire and car ry energy to every function are better than houses and land. It is bettor than a landed estate to have the right kind of a father and mother.

Many are saying that the first gun of the presidential campaign will be the election in Oregon in June That is a mistake. Rhode Island will hold her annual state election on the first Wednesday In April, at which slate oftleera will be elected; also a legislature, whose duty it will be to elect a United States senator to succeed Senator Aldrich. Louisiana will held her regular state elcctiou on Tuesday, April MR.

If we need a tariff for protection, they do not. If we are so fearful that we cannot compete with them, why should they lie fearful that they cannot compete with us!

That prediction has and is still being 1 , , r , .... verified. We often wonder if the teachers in our public schools over call attention to the name of Wash- ington. Do they ever attempt to Impress upon their minds, the why and wherefore ho was called tho father ofhls country! Do they U attention to tho fact that ho was ever ready to sacrifice ease and independence, and even his very life, in defense of his country! Do to they ever call attention to the f' tA grand and sublime thought that f lie was first in tho hearts of his countrymen, and that their dcvo-lwax. The ground should be well pre- tion to his fervid patriotism, uutrammoled by Hellish amltltlou, caused them to regard him as the preserver of the country from despotic rule and monarchical tyranny!

At the proper moment the oath was ad ministered, and Washington, bow. tug down iu the presence of his Maker, scixed the Holy llihte, kissed It, aud exolaiuied with closed eyes and much emotion, "I swear, So help me God.".. v here In the history of all nutious do we find auothcrsuch example ofdevollou to one's eonutryt Here we see the owunguisium cuiciiaiu iivmi iroiu U 0M of viclorwus war, uuicuj i . . .i i . ....I anmuiuoruig itiatworaio uie nanu m which he revived it, and phnlglng himself In the presence ol his Owl that he would maintain, do- feud, aud preserve, the honor ot the people, and to us has Ishxi Uetpmathed through his lustrninen- tatity the priceless legacy or civil, Jjiraotical, aud religious lilierty. lie it ever our earnest thought to transmit those bhMil rights and pi ivileges to all succeeding genera- h ions. rvLLU " 1 The following letter shows that Its I author Is a man of sense, a man who has the courage of his eon I vietions.
