THE NEW AGE, POBTX.ANU, OREGON. r- TOPICS OF ) THE TIMES. Love looks through n window; envy through n. keyhole. The coquette Ik able to tllrt a fan and fun n flirt Hlinultaucoimly. In politics the tennn "bosses" and "henchmen" alwnys apply to the other side. Some people who call themselves dingers should he locked up for making false notes, Old pewter Is coming Into fashion as much as old brass has been, lok over the garret again. - ' , , 2 Prof. Trlggs now puts the works of Longfellow and Oliver Wendell HolineB in the doggerel class. The people are still waiting for a poem by Trlggs. Another pleasant Illusion dissolved. An explorer has brought us the iiowh that the wild men of Uorneo are very child-like and tame on their native soli. A new fad in education Is "organized play." The Idea of teaching "the kid" how to play Is a good deal like teaching your grandmother how to fry potatoes. Not a business house In Culm baa failed, It Is said, during the American occupation. The commercial prudence of the Cubans seems to be one of their Ktroug points, A New Jersey minister clnlms to bo able to cast the devil out of women. If he would open a shop ami hang out his sign he would no doubt do a land olilce business In that line. In a teachers' examination the ques tion was asked: "What are the four great territorial powers?" One answer given was as follows: "Klectrlclty, wat er, society ami nrt." That teacher ought to bu pensioned, A Western farmer left ?ir.,000 with the hard and fast provision In his will that It should be destroyed. It would be better even that the lawyers got It than that such waste should be permit ted by the courts. A new Insurance company has been formed in I'Vaneo that will take risks on the failure of candidates to secure the olllces for which they are running. One season's business In this country would knock out such n company. It will have to be admitted, however, that some of the men who were famous iiH base-ball players llvo or ten years ngo are about as thoroughly forgotten us they could lie If they had been mere heroes of the Spanish-American war. At a recent college occasion In India, Iord Clinton, the viceroy, told the young people that "to bo without edu cation In the twentieth century would lie as If a knight of the feudal ages had been stripped of helmet, spear and coat of mall." "Kuturn punishment V Let's not dis cuss the theological side of It Just now," said the old clergyman, gently, to his hot-headed young parishioners. "Hut did you ever think of It from the do mestic and family sldeV When these babies of yours begin to grow up, and you see them Imitating your faults and hampered by your weaknesses, and know that you're to bluiuenh, there's u kind of future punishment there can lie no two opinions about 1" Of all the young men In the country, only live per cent are members of churches; of college young men, ilfty two per cent are members of churches, so says Dean Hulbert of the University of Chicago. College life has Its pecu liar temptations, of course, but It abounds In opportunities also, A young man must grow. If ho alms to grow upward, his college will help grandly. Hut he may prefer to grow downward, and that the college carmot always hinder. A limn linn boon fmuul with two lii'iirlH, tint It U not Htnti'il wlii'tlicr Ills lionrtfolt nynimtliy In two-folil or whether hlx tu'iitliiiiMitnl emotions arc divided. It would Intoroiit tho public to know of hltt donu'Htlo tttTtilrn. In Miuu'oh n iv not wanting whore a man with a nIiikIo heart has found room for divers so-called atYcotlons of that or uan. Science will not ho fully satis fied until this doiihlo-henrt develop ment Is Klvon a more critical examina tion ulonjc emotional linos. Homo "sonlloss corporations" of tho "wild West" Imvu lately Klvon a prac tical demonstration In j;ood morals, An attempt was made In a certain city to conduct Sunday exhibitions, it came to Krlof because tho railroads coutorlnK there refused to Increase the Sunday work of their employes. It Is their pol icy to decrease rather than Increase the number of Sunday trains. The wise umoiiK even the IrrellKlous admit that the weekly rest day Is protltable both for capital and for labor. The humor of the locomotive tlint ''struck a cow and cut It Into calves" Is due to an oversight of the proof-reader, The work of elevating railway tracks above street crossings, now be lli); pushed In half u dozen cities of the mid lie West, Is due to a different over silght, that of "reform" Mayors and Al dermen, who believe that pedestrians nud occupants of carriages have rights which corporations ure bound to re iDtttt. liven the ruwltmtlug cow may yet find her safest promenade along the city street. ' Samuel II III, who. has recently re turned from Hussla, states that Oeorge Keuuan's thrilling and interesting nar ratives about the treatment of Husslan exiles were gross exaggerations. Mr. Hill visited Siberian prisons and found the sleeping quarters good and the food wholesome. The Russians seam to bu kindly and Immune people and while they do not erect a series of Palmer houses for their convicts, it is quite certain that they treat them fully ns well as they are treated anywhere. For this reason, when Mr. Kennnn returned to Hussla he was requested by the gov ernment of that country to leave on short notice. He knew enough to do this. The St. Petersburg Newsletterorf ski says: "fSeorglus Keunnnovitch, a picturesque cud-of-the-Century Mnga- zinc llarov, called at our olllowkl yester day and left his cardovltch. We tele phoned the pollsk and Oeorgius Is now over the Hue. Call again, Oeorglus, when the govcrumcntovltch Is not in so great a hurryoffskl." When the Chinese government, ear y In June, agreed to pay the full Indem nity demanded by tlie powers, the next question was the manner in which pay ment should be made. Differences among the powers over this question account for the long deadlock in tlio negotiations which followed. China could not borrow the money on her own credit. Precisely as an individual whose commercial rating Is nut gjod needs a strong In lorser to his notes be fore he can realize money on them, s; the bonds of China must be guaran teed by some other nation. No one na tion was willing to assume the great responsibility of guaranteeing them all; and If any one of them had offered to do so, It would have aroused the suspi cion that It Intended to niulfe its risk good at a later date by obtaining spe cial concessions from China. It was proposed that the powers should guar antee the bonds Jointly. The plan was favored by the powers whoso credit Is poor, becauso It promised the best pos sible security with the minimum of risk. Hut the United States objected; It would nut become Involved In a transaction which might require Inter national Interference later. Imgiaud objected because shu saw no good rea son why she should uso her excel. cut credit to guarantee the bonds allotted to other powers. The only alternative was that each power should guaranteo Its own share of the bonds, and market them as It chose. Hut when this plan was decided on, a new dltltculty arose. Japan had made Its claim sultlcleut barely to cover its expenditures, and had put It on a cash basis. It could not market the bonds on Its own guar antee except at a discount which In volved a loss of three or four million dollars. It therefore asked to have Its allotment Increased to cover this loss, but other powers objected, and some hinted at supplementary claims of their own. Japan then withdrew Its claim, choosing to suffer the loss rather than prolong the negotiations. So the long deadlock was broken. It would bo In teresting to know what Impression these hlggliugs among the (lowers have made upon the Chinese mind. The returns of the census of the Do minion of Canada are disappointing to Canadians who have been expecting large results from the various and cost ly efforts which have boon made to at tract Immigrants and to keep the poo pie of the Dominion at home. The complete returns show an Increase of only ri(.".it II, or 10,111 per cent, during the last ten years. The Increase dur ing the next preceding decade was 11.7(1 per cent, and during the decade ending In 1SSI 1S.H7 per cent. The hopeful Canadians professed to believe that the returns would show a greater ratio of Increase even than that of the decade 1871 to 1SS1, whereas It was In fact less than In tho decudo 1881 to 181U. Perhaps they will now begin to yield to the conviction that the attrac tions of the United States are greater than those of Itrltjsh North America. Tlie United States census of 11HM) shows an Increase of nbout Kl.uOO.OOO, or l!U4 per cent, during the decade end ing that year. The absolute Increase In tills country was more than twenty six times as .great hs that In Canada, while the percentage of Increase was more than twice as great. Prior to 1SSS our custom house returns showed an annual Immigration of from :t0,()00 to UH).(KH) or more from Canada. The Canadians complained that these tig ures represented transients for the most part Canadian workmen enter lug this country for employment during a portion of each year and then return ing to Canada. Klther becauso he be lieved this claim to be well founded or for some other reason, the Secretary of the Treasury directed that the reports of Immigrants from Canada be discon tinued, and for ton years the returns did not show any Immigrants from there, though it was well known that many Immigrants from Kurope lauded In Canada and proceeded Immediately or after an Interval to the United States. Kvldcutly the Canadians have counted all these as Immigrants re maining In Canada, and they seem to have adhered to the transient assump tion In making their estimates. Hence their disappointment. They may now be prepared to believe that many ot their people who seek employment In this country remain here. Otherwise they will hardly be able to account for the very small Increase of only a little more than lift per cent In Ontario, their most populous province. Probably the reasons for the more rapid growth of the United States aro climatic ami In-, dustrlal rather than political.
