A French woman confesses, to having attended 722 balls to catch a husband, and only to have caught instead bron chitis U times, plenriny thrice and 120 e ilds in the head. The Philadelphia 1 imea declares "that in all history it may be questioned if there has ever been a congress so entire ly incanable at.d at the same time so mischievously meddlesome as the pres ent one.'' "A very excellent thing for the state. university to do, would be to keep mem bers of its faculty from meddling with Benton county politics." Gasette April 16th. ' How rocky the roads must be when auch thrusts aa the above are made! Hon E B McElroy twice superintendent of Benton county, three times state super intendent of instruction in Oregon is called down and warned out of his own county by the Gazette. Corvallis Times. iWetingitst man on earth has been found in Walla Walla. Before goins: to his business in the morning he counts oat the sticks ot wood bis wife ia to nse in the kitchen stove daring the day. E O. Mr Somen is said to have admitted at Tangent that the last legislature was cme what extravagant, but he declared that the old members had been dropped out this time and new men were running and he was in favor of economy. It ia well to lemember that two years ago these old members talked the same way ; they were opposed to lady clerks, rail road commissions and everything else; but when the legislature convened the same old rales went . into effect and the money of the people was spent as has been recorded. The seventy-two races inhabiting the world communicate with each other in 3,004 different tongues, and confess to about 1,000 religions. The number of men and women is very nearly equal, the average longevity ot both eexes being only S3 yean and about one-third ot the population dying before tbe age of 17. Moreover, according to the most careful computation, only one person in 100,000 of both sexes attain the age of one hun dred years, and only eix to seven in one hundred the age of 60. The total popu lation of the earth is estimated at about 1,200,000,000 souls, of whom 32,214,000 die annually, i. e., an average ot 93.SI3 a day, 4,020 an hour and 67 a minute. The annual number of births, on the other hand. Is estimated at 36.792,000 L e.,an average ot 100.S30 a day, 4,203 aa boar, and 70 a minute. Ridiculous Way to Spend Money Tbe republican congress seems to be schenaiox in every way possible to in crease the expense of running the gov ernment so that it will be above the re ceipts.simply to slap tbe Wilson bill. A dispatch from Washington tells tbe latest scheme, which would certainly do it effectually: "Senator Cannon, ot Utah, has intro Joced a joint resolution which, if it is enacted into a law, will give to the city of Washington one ot the most gigantic attractions for tourists and curiosity seekers possessed by any city in tbe world. Mr Cannon proposes to have con structed in this vicinity monstrous map of the United States, showing every physical feature ol tbe country, every hill, mountain, valley and plain, every lake and river, every hamlet, village, town and city, and probably every rail road. All this is tc be done in minia ture, but oa auch a scale as will give a map about two-thirds uf a mile in length by one-third of a mile in breadth. Tbe Cost of such a project may be imagined. Tbe joint resolution introduced by Mr Cannon provides for tbe appointment ol a esmmittee of five persons who are to serve without compensation, three to be appointed by the president, oo by the president of the senate and the other by tbe speaker of tbe boose, wboae duty it shall be to inquire into and report upon tbe advisability, practicability and cost of establishing such a map, which Mr Cannon describee aa a ground map of the United States to present "our country in miniature.' The map 's to be construct ed on such a scale that one foot square of map surface will represent one square mile on tbe actual area. In rooud num bers the United States extend about 3503 miles from east to west and about half that distance from north to south, and would give a map 3300 feet long by 1750 wide. Mr Cannon, in presenting tbe joint resolution, annonnced that in a tew days be would address the senate on the subject." He ought to be muzzled be.'ore the day arrives. A Remembered Scene. Eorroa DiMocavr: Some scenes are dog deep, as with an engravers tool, on the pages of the mind snd generation ot yeais cannot efface the impression. Such is tbe following, re called by a Boston man. "His name was Hutchinson, they called him 'Zale.'' His home was on tbe principal street of the village, and wss not a favorite resort for ladies. On this , occasion however, a lady whose name was Turner, came five miles, with her babe tbe youngprt of Ave children in her arms to have an interview with aim. She dared not da'av her bminess, nor intrust it to another. As she entered and sa his eyes red and bleared, she would hive turned away liopeles", bat for the necessity pressing upon her. With a couiage birn of dtptirshe told him of the woe that he bad brought to her once happy boms, unhappiness and starvation. With s choltnd voice, she said, "O, sir' I have core e to plead with vou not to sell him any more rum." Riuih came the answer Daok ''I have a license to sell it, and if your hnsbanJ ia fool enough to get drank, that is his job not mine.'' Showing anger, as he spoke, be ordered her to get oat of the store. Still hearing the pleading voice, be aeizau an axe, jumped over the coun ter, and threatened ber life if she did not move ont at once. Slowly she moved backward oat, as the legalized liquor seller followed her with uplifted s xe aid proiane words. iiotb. have been dead for years, and if tbe cry of the wife and mother was pho nographed in the azure above, and who can say that it was not? What revels tion is yet to he made of tbe . mingled oatbr, pathstie appeals and unutterable sobs of a broken heart. And all because of a licensed liquor traffic in a christian land." L, stRashrsn Tongue's Flop Tius. II. Tongue was pmtwd in nomi nation for congrssa as a "sound money" man and is now being backed and run because ot his single gold standard doc trine, even the Oregonlan supporting htm, wherea it would not were there a single doubt on the question. Mr. Tongue has completely flopped on the subject without any reason for it ex cept political preferment. Less tban two years ago in a letter In the Oregon ian he wrote lucidly on the si'ver ques tion, giving splendid arguments in its favor, sufficient to induce every Lonest tree silver republican voter to vote against him now that h is tor a single gold standard . Here is the belle ol the letter: HtufBOBO, Oa., Nov. 3, 189. (To the Editor:)-! have read with some care your editorials ia today's Oregonlan, as well as tbe one of a tew days ago, In which you depxt the terrible conse quence ot either tbe free colasgs ol silver, or coinage of the product ot oar own mines. It is to be inferred from these articles that the Oresonlan favors the present coinage U sot the United States, and ia ready to wield its powerful In fluence in favor ot their continuance. Let us look at those laws squarely and see what they are and where they are leading us. Heretofore our silver mines have been a vast source of wealth ; they have furnUheJ employment to thous ands ol men, whe became consumers oj the products of the labor ot others, and have furnished a good share of the in creased circulation needed by a constant ly expanding population to do its in creasing business. Nearly all of this has been overthrown by legislation in the Ust year. We have reached a ondition unknown to our previous history. Our, silver mines are absolutely worthless to a as producers of money metal, lt run 1 to their full capacity, not one ounce of their . rod nets could pass through the mints ot the United States, or get into circulation among our citisens as money. Not a dollar ot additional silver cat get into circulation as money, except by re deeming a treasury note. When the silver is got out tbe treasury note is re deemed and destroyed, and the circula tion remains tbe same. A vast atnvunt ot silver money ia lost and destroyed every year by abrasion and by accident, and there ia no way to snpply the loss Constantly increasing population de mands increased silver circulation and tbe demand is Unored. On the con trary, as tbe population increases, the silver coin, by abrasion and destruction, constantly decreases. This will lead inevitably, it long continued, to gold mosometaiism. With tariff laaa de signed to increase our imports, while exports are deminiabing enormously in value, tbe products of our gold mines, inadequate even to pay tbe interest on our public, private and corporate indebt edness to Europe, what will be tbe end? And where will tbe supply bt money be obtained? A continuance of this legislation means constant contraction. Scarce money means dear money, with Increased pur enasing power; it means a decrease in tbe price ot every other species of pro perty, real and personal, in tbe country, and in tbe city; it'means decrease in tbe wagee of all classes ot labor, skilled and rinekil'el, maoual and professional. Bat worst of all it means an enormoca in crease in indebtedness ot every eiaes, public and private, with diminished power to pay. It omns cos S sea tion of the property of tbe debtor, for the bene fit of the creditor. It will make the United States a para dise to tbe class ot people who are ex clusive creditors, but it will make it a bell for everybody else. Eren the moa generous and lees exacting creditors will suffer with tbe rest. Caving loaned his money on property with only a fair margin at old-time value, ben the power of tbe debtor to pay is taken away, be finds himself compelled to take pro erty robbed of its nine. Thai it would be downright dishonesty to legislate to enable tbe debtor to repudiate just finan cial obligations, is not dispoted. but it is equally dishonest, and productive of much mora hardship, to increase by leg islalion the obligations and burdens of tbe debtor for tbe bene u lot tbe creditor, ft ia easy of comprehension why Eng land tbe creditor nation of the world, should favor contraction of the world's money and a limitation of money metal. Having no silver mines of her own, and being a purchaser ot both eilver and food products, iv is equally easy of compre hension why she should use every effort of diplomacy and legislation to dimioith tbe value of both, but why tbe United States, a debtor nation, with extensive silver and vast stores ot food products to sell, should voluntarily assist in carrying out the same policy, and dim.nish tbe value of her own resources, "paseeth understanding.' Unfortunately for the welfare of the country it contains too many people wha, surrounded by hnge blocks of wed secured, interest bearing obligations, are interested in legia!aton that mak-ja money dear, and everything else cheap; who not engagbd in prodac live industries themselves, are anxious to secure the product of the toil ot others at tbe least pocsible outlay. Asbrsiness and population expand, our monetary needs will be constantly supplied from silver mines on American soil, owned by American citisens, worked by American miners, who in turn supply their needs from the production of other American workmen. How this result, if accom plished, placing in circulation the entire product of our silver mines, not needed for other uses, and will not exceed prob ably 50 cents per capita, wiil dislu-b business or commerce or prove det ri mer, til to our financial system. I am ata loss to ste. In thij contest it is greatly to be re gretted that the Oi-egonian, right upon s many queitioos, should, tn tbe opin ion ot many of its staunched friends, be wrong upon this, should throw the weight of its rait inll ieoca upon the hand that, while oppressing other peo ple, baa re with equal hardship upon the proprietors of the Oregonlan. The luart of the editor is generally in the right place and sympathizes witn those who are wronged and oppressed, and it ought to ce so in this matter. With the Ore gonlan on the right side of this question. tne entire west wouiu present a solid front against those who are doing na financial wrong and Utins weary bur dens upon those least able to liear ihtta TdOMAI II. 1'OKODK.

Uave to take what comes. Fennoyet's success. Funny political situation. ' Too early for excitement. When it comes to competition it takes the river boats to get in and make the spray fly. For several days it has been so lively we have looked (or several duels, bat notiiln has occurred yet so Frenshy as that. The universal verdict Is that we do not need the rain of the past week, that the aoll demanded a dry spell in order to pat it In condition for the spring grain, considerable of which has not yet been sown ; but It did rain, and the Democrat man will make a big guess that crops will be just about as good as usaal. It will come out as nearly all right aa thinga generally do. It men's minds bad their way everything would go to smash ; but fortunately they do not and the world wags on' pretty well. There are men who seem to have luck strike them at every jump through life, and people wonder why it is. Look at Pennoyer, he hits it nearly every time. He will be tbe next mayor ot tbe rotten est governed city in the northwest. Lack? No, not lack; there's no such thing as luck. The man who depends upon success for luck might as well be come a lie) nut One ot the fanniest thingi in the po litical line that has happened daring the week ie the Salem Journal nsing a two year old speech ot Tlios. Tongue ina order to isconcile ita course in supporting him now that he ia sailing nnder the single gold standard banner. The truth ia brother Uoferlain a terrible pickle and it has taken some big stretches of his free silver conscience to reconsile-his support of a gold man. It be gets any comfort out of that old tree silver article, by tbe way a fine argument, be it wel come to it. It Ijoks to the Democrat, though, like back acting comfort, for the very speech is good reason why Tongue should bs opposed now, that he is a gold bug.

Speaker Reed ia getting conspicioos ot some ot those who have undertaken the task of making him tbe republican can didate tcr President. One of the men under ansokion ie Quay. Reed is said to believe that ia addition to dickering with other candidates for the nomine ticn. Quay baa got tie idea in t.is head that if McKin'ey and Reed ran both be thrown down be can himself get tbe nomination (Gee Wbix ! wouldn't Qaay's nomination be a veritable windfall for the democratic party?). O'bers have known that Quay's beal bad become swelled with tbe Presidential idea some time, and have believed that if ha contd at any time dntiug the St. Louis con vention get tbe nomination for bimsell be wonld have no hesitation in gobbling it np regard 'es ot bis obligst'ona to Mr. Reed or any body else. And there isn't the slightest donbt that the practical politicians of tbe Ptatt-Clarkton stripe would sooner see Quay nominated than anyone yet named. He belongs to their ctaes and they would know iast how to deal with him. Scre'y no mn has a better right to be suspicious of these men titan Mr. Reed, whom they are pretend ing to be supporting in hie fight for that nomination. They may vote lor Mr. Reed and they may gel htm nominated bat if they do, it will be because they find that they cannot do belter for them selves by supporting somebody elie. Tbe democratic "steering" committee bat served cos ice upon rf pub! . can Sen ators that nhiie not desiring to raise any obstacles to early adjournment, if the republicans are willing to return to the people ith a record of having done nothing excrpt to paes the appixoiiation bills, they ioeiet noon being consulted upon all tbe measures to bs taken np during tbe remainder of the session and will not grant unanimous consent to take np anything that has not bren previous ly agreed upon. Tbe movement started by Senator Haw ley, of Conn, to take the printing 01 the pottage stamps away from the Bureau cf Printing and Engraving a Washington, ard give it to tbe loweet private b'dier is mskkg rapid progress aod if the friends of real economy in public expenditures do not watch their P's and Q's the schemers will get it through. It is difficult to understand bow any man can have the cheek to stand np aod advocate this step back ward in tbe face ot the advantages the government has gained by taking charge of this work. The stamps are belter printed, there are more sa egaards aronnd their distribution, and consider ably more than 150,000 a year is saved. The republican majority ot the House Commhtee on Ways and Means has de cided not to report any reciprocity bill daripg this Congress, giying as the rea son the uncertainty ot what action the Sena e would take npon such a bill and the presence ot the Democratic President. Tbe real rwoo is that the republicans do not care to define the exact party policy on this suljrct as a hill would have to do, believing that it will make more votes by leaving the question open eo that any sort of promise that may be demanded ma be mads. There was a time when a Senator who was stcuscd of hsvir.g lied by another Senator, as Gear, of Iuwa, wss by Mien, ol Nebraska wonld not have stood up and quietly said that he took no excep tion to the language, as Mr. Gear did, hut St seems to have gone by. Still there are Senators who believe that calling a man a liar is cqnivolent to striking him aud who are prepared to live up to that belief at all times. The occasion of the Allen-Gear episode was the Pacifio Rail road's Bill, which Mr Gear, as chairman of the Pacific Railroads Committee re ported to the senate, and it was directly caused by Mr Gear having stated that Weaver, tbe populist candidate for pres ident in 1S92, stood foi the confiscation ot railroad pioperty, the telegraph, aod the telephone, atd the Issuance ot paper to pay for them. This railroad bill may be the cause ot a very bitter fight in the senate Czar Reed can put it through the House without any trouble because ot the belief at some senators that It is entirely too favorable to Huntington.

Mr. Penaoye? with his old time luck, good fortune or sagacity will un doubtedly be elected. Prof. J. R.

As fast as he can obtain'them they will be classi fied, and he will endeavor to get a com plete collection. Guard. The Salem Journal publishes a letter of T. II. Tongue of Nov. 3, 1894, in favor of free silver. Since then he has flopped, and while the letter is a good silver ar gument it is a very poor argument juet now, for Mr. Tongue is now an Oregon lan gold standard man. An Albany hunter, who a few years ago was considered a crack goose shot is now obliged to depend npon others for game. Yesterday he had goose, but it was shot by b is brother Fran k. The ol J time snirit ot a few years ago should be revived. Tbe Roseburg Plaindeslcr rails the ed itor of an exchange the little red headed embecile.

Jefl Meyers and Mr. Vanderburg are both yet in tbe field, anf there are no evidences of a combination on either man at present. It ia understood that the friends of Sam Uayden and C. II.
