remarked at the slutted cow that gave milk.

Walla Walla editor, who give himself
away as follows : "At the Portlsnd fair

?) whenever a person called for a glass of
milk,freh from the fountain head. The
whole hing looked so natural that many
who drank the rnilk.bcHeve to this day that
the cow wa a genuine Durham. The

Invest a nickel, and after drinking the milk,
right from the cow, a he supposed, he
looked at the maid, with rosy cheek, and
lei a sort of quizical way asked, Hwh at
makes this milk so cold r "Oh." said the
little vlxon.with a roguish leer in her left
eve, "don t you see.the cow stands on Ice."
We saw the joke and pulled out to make
room for another greeny, for they were
quite abundant, and most of them came
from the bunchsrrass country.

the gentleman whom (he taxpayer! ol

assessed the property in tint county In

him before he culd enter up tt the dla

a house and lot he would inakt Inquiry a
lo how much they cutild t sold for In
the usual course of business and he
would assess It at that price and so he did
with all other property, strictly obeying
tbe law and hi oath, and thl is what
disturb o many people. See the result
of, hi obeying the law. Last year the
total aseed value of property in that
county was $1,000,000 and now it is $6,

by a class of taxpayers who, year by year
have been escaping taxation. Thlse
or should he elected by the people,

The Orei some days ago said the
democrats In Virginia would noldebate po-
lltl:sl questions with the republicans In
i's telegraphic columns on the same day
appeared a statement that republicans el
Virgtnlra had declined to debate with the
democrats. Tbe other day M. D. Harter
thejmillionalre manufacturer of , Mansrleld
Ohio, challenged Murat llalstead the
great republican leader of that state to
debate the tariff question but llalstead de
clined giving as a reason, the frivolous
one that the public are not Interested In
the question, when, as a newspaper man,
he must have known that It Is discussed
from every stump In his own state In the
campaign now going on there. .
Rumor in political circles ssys that
their Is a probable change to be made In
the office of U. S. district Judge and that
Judge Deady'a visit east Is very signifi

the Bench, Judge Deady Is looking to
that vacancy and hopea to fill It In which
vent Mr. C. A. Dolph of Portland Is to
succeed Judge Deady. This accounta for
the resignation of Mr. Dolph from tha

' fsCOTTd CANDIDACY.
The Altunlaiwftr, speaking of Harvey
Scott's candidacy for the United States senate
ssys "This is a matter that des Dot concern
tbe papers of Oregon, and Mr Scott, as on
A met lean cituea.has a right lo devote his en
ergies in any field of activity he desires,"
That Scott has a right to become a ca-ditate
for the United States senate, no one bat dis
puted aor will any one do to. But to say that
his becoming a candidate is a matter that doe
not concern the newspapers of Oregon Is a pro
position that every newspaper ia the state
'ill deny except the Mtuidalmetr, It can
not forestall the very energetic criticism that
would inevitably follow his candidacy in this
wsy. Many republican as well as democratic
papers will feel aod say that bia candidacy
concerns them, Scott is the lost man in the
state who, through friendly organs, should
plead exemption ftotn public criticism, .
Sir Edwin Arnold lectured to the students I
snd professors at Harvard college on Tuesday
evening in the Ccltege theater, in Cambridge,
His subject wss the philosophy of the Brah
mins, and in the course of bis remarks he said
that In India, with 200,000,000 inhabitants,
there never occurs a marriage of inclination.
Yet Ihere are more happy marriages in India,
more happy homes, more pure domestic reli
ttoes than in say other part of the world.
A class of idlers is growing up in this coun-1
try who seek to make idle self indulgence a
test of social snperiority as it is in arutocratic
countries. It reflects tbe arrogant spirit which I
insults capacity, endeavor and benest toil by I
setting up inherited wealth as a proof of sup
eriority and scorning as inferiors who work
for what they enjoy in life.
