brothers and a sitter were lit the home
near by, but none of them went to see her,
and lor U unvs she ntu no one but thoae

after living that way six days slie was

Out at Tom Richmond's Salt creek farm
is a terrettlat curloaity. During the troub
lous times, while the water was tumbling
and the hillsides sliding, about three acres
of his land one niglft dropped flat down
tome two leet. leddv Kott, who was
ssleep In his house a few hundred yards j
away, says that It waked him up, and
sounded like rumbling thunder. The
round is stilt settling some and now varies
root two to five feet below its previous
level. Maybe some landless Chinaman
from the other side of the world has dug
through and Is taking enough from the
bottom of Mr Richmond's place to make
e frm of his own.

the boy, gave him a nickel and put the
alamp away with a lot more that he had.

did not notice them very close. On Tues-1

more true of the tribe mentioned than of
others we have our doubts : Indians on

of Tillamook county are doomed to alow
out sure extinction, as a tribe they are
very unhealthy, and many of them have
died recently. They are decreasing so fast
mantis only a matter of a short time
when the reservation will be opened to

very severe, though just, criticisms of tho
democratic legislature of Ohio, for such a
bill litely Introduced to district the state
for congressional purposes, which wontd
give the democrats sixteen or teventecen
member and the republicans but four or
live, The Slatuman is In error as to Its
figure. Under tt.ts bill the democrats
would elect fourteen and the republican
even. At the last election the democrats
carried that state by 1 1,000 majority, and
taking that as a bat), the democrats could
claim but eleven member and the repub
lican ten, clearly showing that the demo
eratt are aiming to gather In more con
gressmen from that state than they are n
entltied'o, But,l th 5ata dllnd man
or I he, like a jug handle, all on one side?
lias it ever dawned upon his mental vision
that hi own party In OMj Is fat mora
guilty of stealing congressmen than are
the democrats? Has he duly or otherwise
considered the notorious gerrymander
that now exists In that state, and which
was so arranged by the republicans a to
give them elxteen and the democrat but
five cong.ssmenf For the proposed

BtTIXU VOTES.
Gov Ilovey, of Indiana, give frank notice
that unlet th Republican party pastes "lbs
service pension bill" it wilt be impossible for
it t win the next election, "It will cost only
3,ooo,ooo a year," be declare, a very
smsU sum to pty for the Presidency and tbe
control of several hundred thousand offices.
Gov Hovey put the case very strongly to
hi psrty, and it U only too likely to heed hit
warning- One hundred and twenty million
dollar a year is not a large sum to psy for tbe
coatrot of ike government, particularly when it
i paid out of the pockets of the people; and
on cccaslon of thi kind whenever political
preferment or advantage is to be bought by an
appropriation, the Republicans have never
hesitated a moment to vote away the people'
money with a reckless extra vagence.
Gov Hovev isunnsuallv outspoken In this
matter, and disguise and conceal no.hing.
It is, he confesses, a mere question of barter
and sale tha voting of $130,000,000 in return
for the soldier vote. It is 'no pension, no
votes." "Unlets we give this money we are
defeated for the Presidency he frankly con'
fessc. Tbe matter wa w ver put to broadly.
indeed, to brutally, before the country. No
one can fail to understand the Republican
policy which is buy tbe veteran with peti
tion.
That the Republican party is determined to
adopt Gov Ilovey' tugestion is patent. It
has, to that end, changed itt political course
on many important question, v Th tobacco
tax is to be only slightly reduced instead of
abolished; the sugar duty it to remain, and
the tariff it to be Uttle changed, for the gov
ernment can epare none of itt revenues. Every
cent possible is nestled for pensions.
The sun during January is 3000 mile
nearer the earth than It la at midsummer.
Winter cold I due to the fact that the un'
beam ttrike the earth let directly, while
In Summer they beam from nearly over
head at midday. It !, however, true that
the wn'i nearnet In Winter moderate
the cold weather to tome extent, a it
greater distance In Summer lesson the
heat of that season. In the southern hem
sphere these conditions are reversed and
our Winter Is there Summer, and vice
versa. This explains why Africa, Austra
lia and South America are in warm lati
tudes let suited for human habitation
than are Uke Northern climes. Fortunati

The Astoria Pioneer flaunts the flag of D P

So far the Stats of New York ha expended
ever eighteen million dollar on ber capital at
Albany. Work wa begun upon it over twenty
i ve year go,nd so far is it from being finish
ed that the legislature Is now asked to appro
priate three million dollars more to complete
it, a consideraLte portion of this to be expend
ed in rebuilding part of tb building that have
fallen into decay through defective construction.
It is not probable that tb amount asked for
ill be appropriated, nor that, if it were, the
sum would be sufficient, considering the pecu
lar methods in vogue in connection with the
coo tt ruction of public buildings. Neither is it
probable that any one now living will ever see
it completed.
