to have been born at the tame place tn

disgrace its principal street. This is a
progressive age and Albany should be up
with the times. We are no longer a one

old eye sores give place to the sightly
modern awning that lets up and down.

the wooden owning, vyith it ragged, un

year and her brother, a couple of year
her senior, were crossing the railroad
bridge over Ala-rnetbv creek, suing down.
The lioy carried an empty basket, they
(wing on me way to a garden patch to
fill it with fresh vegetable. Children
enjoy crossing trestle of notne heiirht.
They had passed over the middle of the
bridge, when suddenly they beard the
rumble and rattle of the Ibsw bnrg train
ominously near. "Kun for your life!"
cried the hoy lo bis companion. She
oU-yed but fright rendered running im
MMMible. She ran a step ami tell through
U'tween the ties, to which she held with
her hands, but was instantly pulled up
by her brother. Again she tried to run.
only lo full through a as-cond time. She
could nut move and gave up all hope.
Fright bad almost paralysed her. Would
her brother save tier from a fearful
death? Would he leave her to save
himself? She thought of mamma, too.
The aw ful train was coming closer, closer.
F.very moment wo infinitely precious.
The young hero's heart was true a steel.
Valiantly be again dragged her out, and
putting bis slender arms around tier,
swiftly, with the strength given by iles
iMTatton, iiulled her off the bridge ashore.
''We couldn't stop " shouted the engi
neer as tho locomotive sped by them.
The little girl relieved her fright with a
flood ol tears. The txiy did not move a
muscle, but picked up bis sister's bat,
which the train had run over, and stood
silently wondering over the fact that
they were saved. Oregon City Courier.

shady reaches of the famous wood, we
sxil along at a fifteen mile an hour gait
with as much case as you would go six or
eight at home. Singing college songs,
shouting ami blowing whistles and we
soon emerged from the forest, then riding
past the residence of llosa Bonheur, and
on to Nemours, having done the twenty
miles in one hour and twenty-five min
utes. Next morning, the Fourth of
glorious memory, we tiought tip all the

decorating our w heels and wearing gay

Hags we already bad. Thus a sight we
were as we w heeled through one awe-
stricken village after another all that fine
summer day, to lale, where we stopped
tor the night. t rom la l auciio we
got our first view of the Alps. On turn
ing a corner 01 me road suddenly tne
whole panorama burst out upon us and
we stopped in our mad descent to drink
in the view. Imagine it, if possible I
From a mountain top nearly a mile high,

A IIoKitiiu.K Experience. Frank Kis
singer was recently engaged herding
sheep near Pilot Rock. Umatilla countv.
and while playing with his dog, a very
intelligent sheep dog, it snapped and
caught one of his hands; in endeavoring
to free the band his other was caught
and bitten through the thumb. Then
lie fainted, and from that time, about 11
o'clock in the forenoon, he knew nothing
until 4 o ciocK wnen tie regained his
senses and found his hand still fast in
the mouth of the doc which was dead.
The day was extremely warm and flies
had blown the wounds made. With a
butcher knife he pried open the mouth of
the dog and released the hand. He left
the sheep and went to the home of bis
employer who procured a physician and
dressed the wounds, but shortly after he
became violently insane, and was taken
to Pendleton, four men being required to
restrain him. tie was committed to the
asylum at Salem and, is now confined
therein.

ame O Blaine I the only one of all
the republican leader who posseste both
the ability and the courage to call a halt
In partisan llltlcnc and point the way to
possible party safety. Congressman But
ter wotth, of Ohio, proved hi ability to
analyse the situation and declare the sotu
tlon of the grave complication w hich now
threaten party supremacy, but hi courage
wa unequal to the duty of maintaining
hi conviction by his votes. lie deliv ered
a masterly speech on Canadian reci
procity In the early part of 1I13 session that
none pretended to answer, and his later
speech on the McKinlcy bl',1 wat a bold
proclamation of the madness of that meas
ure, but his manhood shriveled up a he
bowed lo the party lash and vo'.cd for the
measure without demanding the right to
offer amendments.
But while Buttcrworth has fallen out of
the leadership that ovist save the rcpubll
can party If It I to he saved at all, hit ar
guments remain unanswered and unan
scri.blc, and to Blaine alone wa left the
task of halting the party and the sdi.ilnl
tratlon just on the brink of Irretrievable
disaster. Kl letter to Senator Frye came
none too soon, and had It been test heroic
It would have failed to Impress congres
and the country a It did. it wa written
to Impress; It was written to call a per
emptory halt In a party policy that Blaine
saw must be fatal, and he ha again made
himself the "leader of leaders" tn republi
can councils. The Itccd and Mckinley
of the party passionately dissented from
Blaine' view and for a time seemed like
ly to defy bis admonition; but the sober
reflection of senator and reptesenallvcs,
quickened by the general protest against
Increasing taxes on the necessaries of In
dustry and of life, speedily strengthened
Blaine and hi demand for a new basis of
tariff legislation until it now seen assured
that no tariff bill can pass the prc.cnt con
gress without open doors with the several
Americas for the Interchange of product.
It I charged that Blaine' reciprocity
theory means free wool and free iron ores
lor the languishing manufactures of New
Kngland. Of course it doe, and It would
be valueless If It meant ant thing else.
lie see what the Usser party leaders either
can't or won't see, via. that we must have
free riw maicrial even to save our home
markets tu our home Industrie and that
the u'.mof t cheapne ol product consistent
with well-paid labor must be attained to
enable our Industrie to enter the market
of the world, lie sec that the people o
this country won't submit to taxes on wool.
in the growth of which there I practically
no labor, when the o.tty result I to in
crease ti e cost of clothing and other nccc
sarlcs for the masse and give English
mill and English labor, t..c supply of all
our better grades of woollens; and see
ing this, he seeks the remedy without de
moralizing the party by directly ordering
a retreat from the Indefensible partv en.
frenchmen!. Blaine calls It reciprocity ;
It means free raw materials for our labor
snd the reciprocity logically follow
It was no haste or accidental statement
In Blaine' trtter that, In a single sentence,
ho pelcsaly exposed the falsity ot alt rre
tence of protecting the farmer by the lrs
creased taxes of the McKinlcy bill, lie
evidently meant '.o state the truth so con
slsely that mine could misunderstand It
when be declared that no Ameikan farmer
would find a market (or a single additional
bushel of wheat or barrel of pork under
the McKinlcy blll.and when he proclaimed
that truth tlie whole foundation of the Mc
Kinlcy structure wa overthrown. He
also Informed the American farmer how
their foreign marke'.a were gradually nar.
rowing, and how new market must not
only be sought, bul c.rctully cultivated, to
assure fair price abroad for our su plus
agt (cultural product. In one brief letter
he conclusively established the absolute
necessity of free raw materials for our home
labor and Increased markets for our fa-m .
era, and that tear up tne McKinlcy bill
and the senate bill by the root. In short
the only exhibition ol statesmanship given
by the .arty leader In this most trying
test of party leadership cometfroin B'aine,
and he otter the only possible plan ot
parly safety. Philadelphia Timtt.
WHY t
Why wa tin Federal Election Bill brought
forward at this session of Congress, and why U
such a frantic endeavor made to secure its
passage?
If it i a nectnary measure now, why wa it
not necessary year ago? Why ha no attempt
been made to pas it nn il now?
Flection at the South are certainly not leu
free nor lest honest now than they have been
at any time since 1875. If a Federal Force
Bill it necessary now, why hat it sot been
ntcessary during all llote year ia which it
ha never been evea introduced in Congress?
The answer is timple. There is no occa
tion for legislation of to revolutionary a charac
ter except the occasion of partisan desperation.
The pretense of necessity it a consciously false
pretense so consciously falie that those who
urge it dare not subject it to the scrutiny of
debate.
The Federal Flection Bill is instigated by
no tense of public need and no concern for the
poor negro." It it born of the desperate pur
pose of a political party to retain power by
lorce ana irauu when it can return power ia
no other way,
It is intended prituari'y to facilitate intimida'
tion and fraud, and secondarily to ttir up sec
tional and race animosities in the hope of there
by recalling In the support of the Republican
party those multitude who show an increaiing
uitposuion :o aoanuon 11 tor 111 economic tin
agamtt the people.
That is why the Force and Fraud Bill
urged at ths present session. It i the revolu
lionary device of partisan dspeiaiion.
The Minnesota Republican "denounce all
monopolies, whether under the name of Trust
or otherwise," and "demand the passage of laws
by Congres placing on the free list any object
which shall become tha subject of monopoly,"
There are numbed, of protected article which
are the subject of monopoly," but Instead of
providing for putting them on the free list tbe
McKinley Bill increase the dutie which foster
and protect tbeir monopoly. Let the farmer
vote a they talk and they may hope for re
lief.
Long before Mr Blaine shall ba "unhorsed)
and driven out of the repuolicaa party, Mr
McKinley will be "unhorsed" aad driven out
of congress by the voter of hi congressional
district. Mara this, -
, Mr Blaine' quiver teems to have been 'much
fuller of arrows than the McKhley Bill advo
cate suspected. -:'
It takes about three seconds for a message
to go from one end of the Atlantic cable to
the other end. ,
The thltty machine used In the censu
office at Washington for counting the pop'
ulatlon work with clock-like accuracy, and
contit from one to twenty person each
time a mall Ivory key Is touched. The
machine look like sn upright piano In a
polished osk case, and ha a keyboard like
that cf a typewriter, Moslof the machines
are worked by glrlt, and they are able to
count accurately ioi,ooo namet a day.
The "Inexhauttable', forest of the south
will prove so In the same way a have the
"Inexhaustable" forest of Ohio, Indiana
and Michigan. Old settlers are not un.
common in the first two of these state
who declare that they have burned enough
b'ack walnut, just to get It out of the way
to make them millionaire If they bad It
standing now.
A dispatch state that the steam schoon
er Mischief returned lo Victoria British
Columbia a few days ago with the teal
tkln taken by Canadian in Bchilrtgt ca.
There were 13,000 tkln. Blaine l,bril
lant, vigorous, foreign policy" I quite
promotive of the Interest of foreigners.
Colonel Fred Grant' fanous apothegm in
the Stale campaign of 1887, that "a turptu i
easier to handle than a deficit," it ve.ified by
the preient situation. The Republican are
finding it much harder to handle the deficit
which they hare created than tbe surplus wbicb
they found.
The Phllat'clphla Timu regards It a
safe to say, that. If the present eion of
congrc shall pa the McKlnley tariff
bill and the new force election bill, or
either of them, Pattison will poll over
1 00,0c o vote In that city and receive a
majority over Dclamatcr In both city and
tale.
It does not dolor people to be left much
alone. II you evcrnoticed, the people who
go crazy are those who have lot of lime alone
to brood Over their trouble. If you see a
man is troubled, do sot cry with him or over
him; give him more work thaa be can do aad
be will not lie so apt to be a candidate fur the
insane asylum at if he had a chance to brood
awl f itt
There will be 00 Republican or Democratic
State Convention in New Voik this year. The
State Coinniit'ee will name candidate for
Judge of tbe Court of Apteats, the only office
to be filled on the Slate ticket this fall
The appointment of an administration post -
master at Ligooicr, lad, displace tbe la
democratic iotinister la that state. This is
quick work for a "civil service reform' admin
istration only sixteen months old.
There I scarcely a doubt that the cenu
lasers In Portland have made a regular
mess of It. Portland ha 10,000 more pops
ulatlon than she I credited with.
If any republican should ever again say tha,
the McKinley bill wa gotten up ia the interest
of tbe fanner, tell bim that Blaine says there ia
sot a section or line in the bill that will furnish
tbe farmer with a market for an additional
bushel of wheat or a barret of pork.
Tbe population of Auttralia.according to the
recent census, is increasing faster than that of
America. To meet this growth a bill hat jutt
been introduced ia Parliament for 1,1 16 miles
of new railroad to cost 172,500,000.
Maine's prohibition candidate for governor
ays he' going to "slick," He insist that
tbe republican party hit preached prohibition
while it ha encouraced rum efline. So he
doct'nt care if be "busts" it.
Tbe Senate ha askad the Presi tent for in
formation touching Fcsnce't proltnition of
American pork iuipor'i. The really import
ant information on tbat subject it to be found
in our own tarift schedules. "
There is no indication that Mr Blaine
has
suffered from sunstroke this Summer.
They say all over the south tbe censu
taker have failed to enumerate the people
and all for the purpose of cutting down
congressional representation from that
section.
McKinlcy is quoted a saying tbat the demo-
cra.ic nomination ia '92 lie betweea Cleve
land and Blaine, lie takes this ay of critt
citing Blaine' South American free trade views
The attempt lo pass a Federal Election
aad higher tarift bills hat been entirely success
ful in one respect at least. It hat completely
united the Democratic party of the country.
It is annouaced that the Senate Committee'
ha made the Election Bill unobjectionable
Then Mr Lodge and Mr Reed will not try to
