A NEW DAILY PAl'KK. Tlio announcement, inndo through the medium of a lmtiil hill, that Fort hind is Boon to have another daily iiatior providing 10,000 yearly paid-in-iidvunco HiilHcrijitioiiH can ho oh taincd will bring joy to the eoul of a patient and long miHering people. Portland, a city of scarcely 100,000 jiuople, with two of the bcHt dailicH to be found anywhero on tlio 1'aciflc count, if not in tlio whole country, is certainly suffering for tlio establish incut of just such an enterprise an contemplated. To bo sorious, an other pacr would not do any harm, and might bo tlio means of doing considerable good, providing it were mado apcrmnanct proposition and oh tablishcd on business principles, lint the plan presented by the managers of the "Daily Journal" is one, in our feeble judgment, unsound and is cer tain to result in disaster. The chamber of commerce, board of trade and manufacturers associa tion would lie doing the community a better service if they spent their energies trying to encourage tlio es tablisment of manufacturing enter prises, which would give employment to labor, thereby laying the founda tion of a great city and permanent prosperity. Wo do not mean to convoy the impression that wo do not favor the itlea of another daily, but if thero is a demand for it it seems to us that capital would bo forthcoming without any subsidy, and the special efforts now being put forth by tlio allied commercial organizations of tlio city. Tlio jieoplo will do well to remain lier tlio experlenco of their prior at tempts in this direction and before they agree to pay up Jr7.i0 in advance for a year's subscription, see that they llrst have a reasonable guarautco that they will receive the paper for the time paid for. GAMIILINCI AND POLITICS. While those who are profiting in the matter of augmenting the cam paign fund by the gambling graft profess to know nothing about tho situation and 'repeatedly refer many inquirers to District Attorney Geo, K. Chamberlain, those who do know something about the situation aro collecting, condensing and storing mountainous quantities of campaign thunder to bo let loose with all tlio awakening fury of tho Great Jovo when tho storm cloud shall bo ready to burst. Nor aro leaders of tho latter ele ment looking to District Attorney Geo. Ghamkirlaiu to aid them in this preparation; but, instead, they have an eagle eye or two on the real cul prits in tho conspiracy who will be made to auMver before the tribunal of tho people for thus setting asitle a just and good law and overriding tho will of tho masses as it is therein oxprossed. It is known that cat's paws for cor rupt olHoials , whoever they may bo, get a goodly commission on the "eolleoitons" delivered. Thero aro hovoral of these cats' paws now feathering individual nests, and they aro not all Itepublicaus, either. The fact that Democrats havo Wen taken into tho scheme may be attrib uted to tho unusual importance of tho senatorial feature of tho contest in tho forthcoming municipal, county anil state campaign, Exposure of the plot will create a sensation, when tho time shall arrive to make it. Tho New Ago knows a man who lias his Huger on tho trigger ready for the sovereign command: "Firol" Those who criticise Senator 1), It, Tillman, of South Carolina, forget tho important fact that ho lepresents in tho upper house, of congress a rabid fire-eating and unreconstructed lteonle. Tillman is not a bit- worse than his constituency, Ho is typical of the dominantfaction of his party in his state and that his utterances are tlio sentiments of those whom lie represents is a fact conclusive. South Carolina has been a thorn in the side of the body politic ever since the foundation of tlio government. It has become a second nature of its people to oppose everything fathered by the progressive and patriotio cit izens, iney seem to lcci inai incy have a special dispensation from the Allwiso Creator to do as their satanic conscience dictates. Beginning with Calhoun and ending with Tillman is tlio inglorious record of tho great (?) state of South Carolina. The political aspirants have begun to cast their weather eyes over the situation and from present indica tions the coming campaign promises to be an old fashioned roof raising atVair. It was thought that tho ac tion of the last legislature in consoli dating n number of county olllces and the reduction of salaries would be the means of creating a dearth of candidates, but tho number that haro already signified their willing ness to give tho county some of their valuable time, proves that this opin ion hub not well founded. Man usually makes a mess of it when ho tries to improve upon na ture's handiwork. Michael Strongzo frankly admitted, in Judge Cameron's court, the other day, that, because he did not like" L. Fabro's faco, he caromed upon it with his "bunch of fives." Had Strongzo punched "a bag" instead, ho would not have been fined .f lfi, and Fabro's facial topog raphy would have remained secure, and tho latter would not huvo been compelled to batho his physiogouomy in the lineaments of his own counte nance. Testators too often requiro unrea sonable conditions precedent to their bequests. To say that a bcuellciary shall bo given a bequest only in case that such an one shall marry a cer tain party, is generally unreasonable. Supposing the two to bo enamored of each other, tho conditions may most happily be complied with. In case tho two people in question aro totally unllttcd'for each other, a marriago in such case is criminal, and can only lead to unhappiuess. A fair judge would disrogard an unfair condition and give the benefleiary tho bequest anyway. It is evident from the ntriko inaug urated by tho Amalgamated Steel Workers' Assooiaiton, at Pittsburg, that tho winter of their discontent is on. Tho iron has entered their souls, It is not a pleasing picture to contemplate great furnaces whose fires havo died out and an army of 7-1,000 toilers in idleness. In any strike, both employo and employer must loso, though all things demand ed aro gained, Yet sometimes such sacrifices must bo made. Ilecause he had decided for himself that his life had proven a failure, Judge Sellers, of Indiana, chose tho morphine route to the darkening land of shadows. The dreams that may come in tho sleep of death, mi dreaded by Hamlet, did not deter this suicide. Should all tho people whose lives havo been failures "their own quietus make," thero would )o a very noticeable decrease in popula tion. Louis 1). Clarke, of Woodard, Clarke it Co., has just returned from a visit to China and Japan, The suggestion ho makes for the Lewis and Clark Exposition for H)0.r the incorporation of Chinese and Japan ese villages as novel features is unique and timley, Mr. Clarke clear ly tees, in the exposition, a factor of great importance in extending Port laud's commerce with tho Orient, Tlio Miiztiiima aro zigzagging their perilous way up wiml to tlio cold ahrino of tlioir loved Meocu tho nummit of Mount Hood, This grand old (hmK is well accustomed to theso pilgrim. UKes, When tho Miuainua shall ho no more, ho will still stand, nilottt and serene, wrapicd in hid coronal of external dhows, to welcome other mountain climbers in aged yet tin horn. A recent local placard inviting the publio to the buceluill games adjures them, if tho games interfere with their business, to "quit tho business," Thero is some good philosophy in this. Most men can arrange to take a half holiday off occasionally, and yet need not neglect their business and they will bo all the better for it. Tho native, as well as the natural ized Orcgonian, can consistently and complacently congratulate himself upon his matchless summer climate. What would the heai-stricken, sun baked denizens of tho sweltering East and South not give for a little of it? BACK TO HIS OLD-LINE BOOK. Discouraging Experience of a Can vaaaer with a Volume on Dogs "I've gone bnck to my first love, the great 'Celebrated Compendium of Uni versal Knowledge,' bound In calf and Bold at a price within reach of, all," sold the book agent to a Detroit Free Press reporter. "The other day the head member of the Arm that I am proud to represent called me Into his private office and showed mo n book on dogs, telling how to take care of them, what to feed, what to do for the mange, how to tell a mastiff from a pug, how to handle a mad dog In fact, It wan a regular dog encyclopaedia, bound la cloth, and sold at a popular price. "The moment I set eyes on that book I saw great possibilities In It I knqw from bitter experience that nearly every one kept a dog, and no matter what kind of a cross-eyed purp It might be the owner couldn't be con vinced that his particular dog wasn't the finest dog on earth. I made up my mind that there was a fortune In the solo of that book, and I secured the exclusive right to this city before I left tho office. Cautioning the head member of the Arm to keep the presses going, so tlieio would bo no possible chance for a shortage, I started out to place the great work before the pub lic. The first houso I struck my hopes received a sudden chill. "I was no sooner In tho yard than a big dog came tearing around the cor ncr of tho houso and made for me. Thero was only one thing to do, and I did It. I mado for n trco that was near and managed to get out of the way before tho beast arrived. As h showed no deslro to leave, I yelled for help. A man catne to tho door, and after calmly looking tho situation over, asked what I wanted. " 'I am selling a work on dogs,' I said rather weakly from my position In the tree. 'It tells how to cure tho mange. what to feed, what to ' " 'Well,' said he, cutting In, 'explain It to Tlge, and If he cares about It I'll buy It' With that ho went Inside and shut the door. "For two mortal hours that miserable cur sat under tho tree and licked bis chops. Then the owner camo to the door again and said It was time that Tlge had his dinner, and that I could finish explaining tho book to him after he got through. If he hadn't called that dog away Just as bo did Tlge would have had his dinner right under the tree, and tho tlrm would have been short one book agent. As far as I am concerned, every cussed dog In this city may die of mange. In fact, I hope they will." TEN AQES OF WOMEN. They 1'aaa Through Btauea of Beren Year and 1 hen Awult the Knd. It U held by a recent writer on wom an that the seveu stages In her life may be reckoned as composed of multiples of seven. The first seveu years are In fancy, the second seveu childhood, the third seven girlhood, the fourth group brings a fully developed womanhood. From 28 to 33-tho fifth seven-might be called the lufancy of age, for In those year one learns to exercise the faculties and perceptions that have been developed In the previous groups. Up to the age of 42 tho lessons go on. Character Is being matured and fixed, tho definite trend of life established. After that few changes aro made In the real person. 81lgbt variations and modifications of opinion there may be, but nothing deep or vital Is likely tc transform tho life. The common phrases, "a confirmed old bachelor," and "a confirmed old maid," applied to unmarried men aud women over 40 aro tacit admissions ot that fact, Intimating that mental and physical habits are so strongly rooted that the adaptability of earlier years has ceased to exist, aud the person Is Incapable of adjustment to n new en rlroument. The tale goes on. Fifty six, a sturdy middle life; 03, the en croachment of age; 70, the span of ex istence tho decado of seveus, beyond which lies n mero waiting for the end. Philippines Only Hallway. The riilllpplue Islauds eau boast of but one railway, ruuulnj; from the city of Manila to Dagupln, a dlstauce of 1U3 miles. This railway, however, Is tlrst-class, eo far as It goes. It has a single track of steel rolls, Is very well built aid the bridges alotii; the route are of Iron or stone of excellent con struction. The station buildings are al well-built, substantial edlflees. Consumption of CofTee. The consumption of coffee tho world over 1 growlug- rapidly. The average annual consumption In the decade 1870 to 18SO was 702.000,000 pounds; In the next decado It was 1,320,000,000. Lar year It was 1,5SO,000,000. If you want to hear a real sweet nat ural laugh, go to the theater and hear It on the stage. Every one else laughs either in a titter, a giggle, or a chest note gargle. When a family adopts a girl of six teen, It means that they will have 'a kitchen girl In future without wages. OOMT 91,000,000, The Portland H. O. BOWCItS, Mmnmwr.
