Our young nieu who are growing up
are suing to ao a new rival oito ol
these days iu the nianagvuiont of tlu
aiTklr of this world, and It will nut be
the iwporiatiou of some forvlgu coun
try either. It is a rtwgtiled fnot Uml
the only rvtuou why Aiuerkwu are
smarter than other uatlou is becaut
educatlou Is tuure general. The United
States speuds three tiutva as much
mouey for educatlou as any uatlou Iu
the world. Have you uollced the
grwwlug tendency of our women to be
iu a majority iu all the graduating
chums of our publlo school, normal
schools and academies aud tlu-y are
going into our colleges? If this thing
keeps up aud our young men take no
greater Interest lu securing an eduea
tiou thau uiauy of them do now, the
result will be women w ill take the lead
lu the affairs of life. Already there 1m
much talk of ihe "N'ew Woman" aud
of what she Is doing and luteuds to do,
That is one outcome, already showing
Itself, as a result of the more careful
trainlug aud education of women,
pareuts should see that the boy Is given
an educatlou equal with the girl aud
then both will be able to take up the
battle of life equally outfitted.
It is the duty of the business uieu ol
a town to draw all the trade possible
to the town and If auy merchant mak
log a specialty o any one Hue of goods
fni In to invite trade through lack of
keeping a good stock or properly ad
vertlslug, those other merchants carry
Inir such stocks should endeavor to
make up the deficiency. Every person
Induced to trade in any one Hue of
goods is also apt to purchase from
others and all the merchants are bene
fited. It is a niUuken idea for a mer
chant to think that lack of enterprise
on his part affects only himself. He
drives trade away from his store and
perhaps from the whole town and thus
every merchant lu a different Hue lu
directly sutlers. It is such little mat
ters that make ud the movement of
a town in nrosperity. Patrowlze the
merchants who invite your trade
Tell them why you so patronize them
and they will be encouraged to greuter
efforts. mmm
The Oregon Insane Asylum contains
now an average of 1053 iunmtes and
120 employe, a total of 1H3 all under
one management fed and lodged by
the state. The average mouthly'cowt
Is $9.48. These figures are Interesting
from the fact that at this rate it only
cohIs about 31 cents a day to run the
asylum per capita aud the actuul ex
pense for living is less than .00 per
month each. This shows that even iu
America men could work for 20 cents
a day and not starve if they had to di
so. But we do not want them to.
Mr. Cleveland should open negotia
tions with Commander Perry, of the
U. 8. Gunboat Castine. The prompt
ness with which Commander Perry
demanded and received an apology
from the French officers at Tamatave,
Madagascar, for having interfered with
the landing of some of the Castine's
crew, indicates that he would make
the right sort of Secretary of Htate.
Yes; If Mr. Campbell could be elected
governor of Ohio he would certainly be
a formidable Presidential candidate,
but as he cannot be why waste time
discussing Impossibilities?
It cannot be denied that the Itoths
child bond syndicate is running the
Treasury better than Secretary Carlisle
ever did, But $10,01)0,000 was a big
price to pay all the same.
A Georgia Jury which decided a room
