IK 4TKCf rwi itiih Thra m""'" . , , FRIDAY, APttIL 12, IDOL TLk latest is a witch hazel trust Balm for wounded politicians wi come high irom now on. C. II. Markham, general agent ol the Southern Pacific railroad, ex pressed a sensible statement, and one that it w6uld he well to impress upon hoys and youth, when aid; "I would rather he a first class mechanic and toil with smutty ' brow and grimy hands than a see ond-clasa lawyer or doctor." It is hoped that Mr. Cleveland will accept Mr. Bryan's offer to write something for the Commoner, It would insure at least one good article in the paper. ' VCT. ' ' Well, what could the republicans expect in Chicago, with Altgeld supporting their candidate for mayor. .- V Atfuinaldo has taken the onth ol allegiance, but then, Aggie woul probably take anythrng that was submitted to him just now. ' T Abdul has promised again. When this promise is worn out, he will be be glad to proffer a new one. Why doesn't Mr. Carnegie try running a yellow journal. That would fulfil his desire of Wing newspaper nan and of dying poor . bince General MacArthur has been forced to arrest a lot of ras' cals at Manilla, he ought to apolo gize to Editor Rico, whom he ex polled , several months ago, for telling him about them. " ." It has been announced that Rus sel Sage, jealous of Mr. Carnegie's exploits, has given $1 to a hospital Later: The report proves to le untrue. v ' ' If the republicans see the writing on the wall and advocate generally as they have already done specifi cally, the reduction of the Dingley tariff where an improper use is be ing madt "of it, they will curb the trusts arid remain in power. If they do not do this, they will give the democrats the chance to re trieve their blunders of the last few - years. -. ' . t . Unole Sam has cleared something like 130,000 on his. postage stamp books, but objects to dividing with the owner of the patent, who is rais ing a loud roar in consequence. The editor of the ClaUkanie Chief is not a Christian in the true Bense of the word. He has spoken harshly of a delinquent subscriber in the following well chosen re marks: "The Chief staff works 52 weeks per year; that's labor. Now and then some one' pay b for the paper; tbats capital. And once in a while some son of a gun of a dead beat runs up a bill and van ishea without paying it; that's Godfried Muller. But later on justice will overtake the last named creature, for there is a place where he will get his just deserts; that's hell."- . ' Advices from Salem indicate that Mayor Stockton's popular bond scheme for the taking up of Inde pendence warrnats is going to be a success and that if our own people don't want the bonds, there are plenty of people elsewhere who Will take them, even at 4 per cent. A great deal of money is said to be lying idle, drawing no interest whatever and that the depositors are getting tired of it and anxious to invest in gilt edge securities. If this loan is not gilt edge, then there are none in this state. Col. Hofcr editor of the Evening Journal at Salem, speaks thus: "This loan draws 4 per cent interest and will probably run 10 years. One hund red dollars" put into it will earn $40 In that time, , It will pay better than any real estate investment and there is no danger of having to take the property. It is one of the best securities that we know of as the city has no other debt and has a careful business administration. In the past banks all over the state have not encouraged people to buy securities against small cities. A Portland broker recently sold a 6 percent warrant on a small Oregon city at a discount when in that little city $160,000 of bank deposits were lying idle drawing no interest whatever. These popular loans reverse this process and enable the people to get interest on their idle money. The Journal would like to see as many people as possible take 150 to $500 of the Independence popular loan to encourage a system of floating public debt that is dem ocratic, and just, and is the most important reform that has been in augurated for the cause of good government in many years." fcmt be a I sorter.

OKIXION The newspaper fraternity often hears the expression, ''It don't cud him anything; he got it on adver tising." It would be just os appllc able to say to the clothing merchant, "Your clothing don't cost you any thing fur you own a clothing store," or say to a grocery man, "Your liv log costs you nothing, you own 1 grocery store." Advertising does Cost something. It taken money to Lire printers, buy pujter, ink and type, and it takes money to pay rtnt and buy fuel. Advertising siace Is part of a newspaper's stock In trade and hits a cost to the editor just ns do the merchant's giHKls on his shelf. Advertising does cost the newspaper man, and often too much for the income realized. He Kept Ills U. Tweto years ago J. V.
