Ko other complaint are so Inakliosa ta their
attack as those affecting the throat snS langs:
bom so trifled with by the majority of Batter
ers. The ordinary cough or cold, resulting
perhaps from a trifling or uacoasetons ea
posure, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. Ayzb's Cssaar Prerenal, bus
veil proven its efficacy In a forty years' flght
with throat snd lung diseases, and should be
taken in sll cases without delay.
A Terrible Cough Cased.
" In 1857 1 took s serere cold, which aJtseted
my lungs. I bad a terrible coagb, and musecd
night after night without sleep. The doe torn
gave me up. I tried Avhk'h Cukmmt Puc

Croup. A Mother's Tribute.
" While in the country last winter my ILUle
hoy, three years old, was tken 111 with oroua;
it seeiuel as if he would die from strangu
lation. One of the family suggested the nse
of Aykr's Casssr Pectobal, a bottle of
which was always kept in the house. This
was tried in small and frequent dosee, rh4
to our delight in less than half an hour the
little patient was breathing easily. The doe
tor said that the Chkuky I'm ioiiai. bad
saved my darling's life. Can you wonder at
our gratitude ? Sincerely yours,

ALBANY, OREGON, FRIDAY, JANUARY
PLAIN TALK.
oa fin In Auhjeria.
by a i'i.ain otur.
I have just been reading a sketch of
the celebrated Sojourner Truth, who
lied a year ago at tbe age of nearly ona
hundred yean. About five years ago I
had the pleasure of seeing and bearing
her. She was a tall, bony darkey, posi
essing s wonderful pretence sod a
"motherly" sppeartnee. Some one hn
called her the most remarkable woman ef
this age, nnsl in many reipeete ebe was
remarkable. Not able to read or write
she talked with an eloquence and fluency
not often surpassed, and gave anecdotes
of a loog life for hourt at a time. Only
a darkey yet she was a woman, ami had
a big hear, and an intellect far sur
passing that of many a oollege grsdu
ate. She deserve Weinir remHtuerd
s
e
One can not be too careful about oir
outatiug stories that effect the repute
iton of a person. Cbsracter is too
precious to he trifled with ; yet half
one meets, perhaps unintentionally will
toes a story te another ones tongue
about some neighbor as unconcernedly
ee a hoy .hoots psner wada or a girl
obews gum. A story was circulated re
cently about bow a certain school teach
er at aa institute apent his time with
bis feet on desks, squirting tobacco
juice around, and using tbe worst kind
of vulgar expression.. As a natter of
fact tbe man does not use tobacco and
is quite refinod in bis appenranoe and
actions as well as in bis Isngusge. Thry
hsd gotten him mixed with snother
teacher, and then tbe story, we are in
dined to think, was axaggerated. It ia
easy to see how much injury sticb an
idle, careless story might do if drculat
od. as we understand this was. It is a
good practice to follow tbe advice given
to David Copperfleld : "Be ante that
you are right, Da vy,snd then go .head. '
e
Never buy a thing bees use it is cheap.
Often we bsve been st a public auction
and seen seme poverty stricken person
buy an srticle that be dM not need at
all because be thought tbe price was
clear down." Perbspa it was snd
perbspe it was not. Such people are
worse than a mouse would bo that
would want a ribbon around its neck,
and are as liable to become wealthy as
a cat is to turn into a dog. It makes
one shiver to see their p ran tic.

a
Some one has said "Bys will be
boys," and if one was to bum a city
down there would be some old fogy
who would be sure to bsve that excuse
for him. Being a boy i all right,bot it
is no excuse for ones being a hoodlum.
We bad as soon see a boy enjey him
self as a lamb in the fisld or a fish in
tbe brook, it ia natural for him to ; but
there is no excuse for a boys being a
public nuisanoe and a di.grace to him
self snd fsmily. Ooe can lytve "fun,"
snd still be respectable about it. What
particular fun there is in disturbing
meetings, insulting women or men on
the stteeta. breaking one window.,
swearing, etc., we are unable to teli,nd
do not believe we could if we bad
double geared telescope to view the
matter through, if there is such s thing
It is aU gammon to say that it is nec
essary for a boy to sow his wild oats.
The troth is if bo Bow th.m he will be
sure to reap them, for "what ye sow
that shall ye reap also."
a
A defeat or failure rightly taken is
sometimes better than a victory. What
gave William of Orange hU reputation
as a General was his power to turn a
defeat many times into almost a vic
tory. We recent! f beard a birght boy
declaim at a puplic ontertaiament. lin
forgot himself once or tsrico and had to
l)e corrected, in which tbero was noth
ing out of the way at all. Instead o
taking it all right be showed bis provo.
cation so olsinlv that be rained the
- -
effect of the whole piece aad made it
worse than a failure : while if he had
done as be should his natural genius
would have brought him out with flying
colors. Any one is liable to forget and
make mistakes and d) things crooked,
but tbe philosopher takes such things
cooly and learns by experience, taking
that fact as a recompense for bis blue
ders.
We bsve seen several discussions of
tbe question aa 'to which will be tbe
metropolis of the Northwest, Portland,
Seattle or New Tacoma. Our opinion
has not been asked, bat were we to say,
a a a -w-fc .a '
our answer would be rortund, al
though perhaps the proper thing for us
to do would be to Use the argument
generally used, and say Albany, simply
because we reside hero ; but candor
compells us to give Portland tbe honor.
We believe with Villiard, even though
we have to condescend vo do so, that
1890 will see Portland with a popula
tion of 100,000. At that time Seattle
1
may hive a population of 25,000, but
not tOjexored ir, while Now Tacoma
will he much leas. Tbeas are the words
of but a single individual, and they
may be wrong and they may bo right
It might be well to inquire what Al
batiy siitl he then. As Albany must
depend almost entirely on manufactur
ing interests, not claiming to have much
insight into tbsee interests we can only
say, that if they are developed as tbey
should be, it well have to all probabil
ity a population of 10,000 ; if they are
not oue of 8,000 what it bss uow, for
agricultural interests alone oan not in
crease it much if any. Let our busi
ness men eonaidej Ibis, and then they
msy jud e for themselves whether tbey
can afford to be idle snd not do any
thing to bring tbe wonderful advent
ago of the city before manufacturers in
the East.

u.o I" U"V,K"
mused upon the cause of thia apathy
among my sisters so far as the finances
of the National W. 0. T. U. are con-
cemed. That they love and are proud
of the soomty no one can doubt, and I
know them to be cenereus-hearted
women, loyal and true. I have there
fore concluded thst it was the fault of
their officers ; that we have not set the
matter forth aw plainly as we ought ;
that perhaps a little downright grumb-
ling would sharpen their perceptions,
and from this would come conviotion,
and from that financial help. Therefore
I have deliberately gtumbiod here thia
morning in the hearing ef you all, and
I ask for a meeting of the treasurers
here present, whether State or district,
county or local, that the united wisdom
of these women of finance may be
brought te bear upon this vital ques
tion.
Embarrassments rest like an incubus
upon our National Union which ought
to be removed and that right speedily.
First in importance and need is Our
National Organ, the literary oat growth
(mo f
11, 1884.
and exponent of theciussde, but its
most neglected obild. You know in
verted and difficult history, snd I know
by eight years of setusl observation,
tbo indifferentism of good women to
wards its fortune., in every State and
Territory, to tbst eur paper has alwsyr
been the Cinderella in that otherwise
genial household the W. C. T. U.
Une State president said to mo two
years ago in decided tones : "Don'
bring up the official organ, we hsve not
time to hear about it, and besides we've
a paper of our own." Another said
"We've been getting up a club of one
hundred or Tfo Tinkling Cymbal, and
our women will do no more at present,"
white scores of courteous presiding
officers in county, district and State
have allowed me to wave our paper in
the air like a signs! of distres,and then
have let the subject drop out of sight
perhaps from sheer forgetfulness.
Hence tbe paper, excellent as it it'
oomes to yoa in debt, once wore, after
tbe immemorial fashion. The only
reason of this is thst nearly sll of our
Stste suxiliarioi have feiled to redeerr
their pledges to tske stock in The
Union Signal. A detailed account will
be given by our publisher showing that,
although our suoscriptton list never Ik-
fore approached its present value, tbo
increased expense of issuing a weekly
rather than a monthly paper aa hereto
fore, leaves a large deficit, though we
have over eleven thousand subscribers
now,(ocarly two-thirds of them weekly,)
agsinst loss tbsn five thousand, (snd
all of them monthly,) at tbe date of tbe
Louisville consolidation. Besides this

Republican Senators1 feel better
now since they have cleared tbo Sen
ate tr&ces of their faithful efficient
Democratic Incumbent", and filled
the f daces with Inexperienced Kepub-
lean. Yes. they lied a right to do
t Might has ever been right accor-
lingto their record.- But let us
bear nothing mf,ro about civil ser
vice reform from Republican head
quarters. Lees tbao a year ;:go that
side of the Senate chamber was reso
nant with the eloquence ef civil rer
vice reform principal, and the first
opportunity afforded to show "reason
lor tho faith that was in It", It suc
cumbed to tbe pressure of parly
greed. As it Is proven, it was too
much to expect tbat tho Itepubi iran
majority ia the Senate would have
hesitated to seize upon the few re
malaleg salaried offices, within such
tempting reach, but for consistency's
exke, et least, something better of
them, was hoped. They hold tbat
the Democrats will do likewise when
tbey get control of tbe Government
In tbe next Administration. They
have not hesitated to set a defiant,
pernicious example, and In the light
f Republican precedent, and of their
boasted adherence to civil service re
form principle a few concessions to
the syatem they ho warmly espoused
a few months since, would have given
tbem a more creditable place upon tbe
record.
During tbe election of the new Sen
a's officers tbe caucus programmes of
both parties were carried out. -Tbo

dlacnvden the galleries were filled,
tbo floor of tba Senate enlivened by
Members of the Houe, ex-Senators
aud distlrfguishei visitors, among the
latter Governor Butler of Massachus
etts. Tho only Democrats who com
m.nted upon tho action of the major
ity, however, were Senators Pendle
ton, Beck, and Siulsbury i and Sen
ator Sherman was the only Republic
an spokesman. Seuators Beck and
Saulahury taunted the Republicans
with repudiation of their civil sorvice
reform eloquence, and as the election
proceeded, Senatoi Pendleton moved
toatrike out tho names successively
of ea.'h Republican nominee, and in
sert those of the present incumbents,
as an expression of opposition to
ch-tnge, confidence iu the Old offi
cecs. C mgros will adjourn early and
long fir the holiday vacation, most
probably from Monday Dec. 24tb.
to Mondny Jan. 7th.. Though an
attempt was made in the House to
defeat so long an adjournment as an
unwarranted delay In the transaction
of public businoss. Little eiso will
be done In the House ou Monday, but
the appointment of the committees,
which Speaker Carlisle expects to
have ready for announcement by
noon of that day.
Turning from politics I will tell
something about two distinguished
Englishmen Washington has had
within her gates this week. Matthew
Arnold, the lecturer, 'poet, and critic
and Langtry, who lived , while here
in her private palace cur, shunted
on a side track near the railroad sta
tion. The Lill ie has rather improved
In acting since her previous engage
ment here, and is affecting sedate
ness and quiet tastes by her exclusive
mode of life. One day, however, she
appeared in tbe Senator's gallery of
theSenate chamber, where Senator
Bayard of Delaware j.ined her and
escorted I her through tbe Capitol
Several hundred gazers followed her
movements and Langtry was evident
ly pleased with her distinguished es
cort, and the attention she attract
ed. Mathew Arnold lectured in the
Congregational church, on the sub
ject of literature and science, to an
audience of Statesmen, Supreme
Court Justices, journalists, politicians,
dillitantl and women.
