Better watch the old year out learning to write it Mr. Scniers had better think again before he introduces a bill for the es tablishment of a supreme court coinmis sion. The times do not justify it, even though there might otherwise be some reason for one. fhere is lots ot money in the banks that would make things rather lively if Dot in circulation. The fact that it is not pnt in circulation indicates that con' fldence is notyet f uhy restored. Some thing else is needed. The U. S. senators who go home to work for re-election draw their payiright along. Now, really, that is not busi ness, nor la it honorable; bnt it is unfair and there Is no more reason why a gov ernment should be run that way than that a merchant should run his business in the same style. These bank and other failures are proving a very emphatic political lesson that will not be forgotten by voters, at the same time we hope they will stop. Every good citixen should use bis best effort to mike times better and create confidence, thoogh it is to be admitted the conrte of republican leader on this subject has been dishouorable and un derhanded. John Wannamaker is in the fight for certain for IT S- senator. When the Democrat notices the liberal, judicious and persistent manner in which Mr Wannamaker advertises his business we admit that we lose our co'duesa. The newepaper man who hasn't a warm feel' ing for the persistent, always at it ad vertiser, is ungrateful indeed. The DixocsaT admits that it is quite human on this subject. ' A good many of the Dkjiocbat's sub scribers are getting decidedly hot at the maneuvering of the state board of equal ization. The raise in the assessment on tosro Iota and merchandise particularly is causing anger. There was no eanlity occasion for v.. In bo In cases there is notning to make comparisons with, to judge properly. In the case of cattle there might be, bat not with merchan diee and town lots. The people demand the abolishment of the board, and if oar representatives know on which side their Dread is buttered thev will work for doing away with it. Some time ago the editor of the Street Railway Journal of New York began to gather information as to the longent ride given for a five-cent fare in the cities of this country containing over fifty thou sand inhabitants. The result of hit labor appears in the July number of the Journal. The list contains twenty-two cities, beginning with New York, with nearly two million inhabitants, and end ing with Indianapolis, with oyer one hundred thousand inhabitants. - The longest ride for a five cent cash fare in miles is aa follows: New York twelve and one half, Chicago fifteen, Philadel phia eleven and three-fourths, Brooklyn eighteen, St. Louis fifteen, Boston ten, Jereey City eight and one-fourtb, San Francisco twelve, Minneapolis thirteen, Cincinnati thirteen and one-half, Cleve land ten, Buffalo thirteen and tbree lonrthe, Lynn six. New Orleans seven, Washington nine and one-half, Detroit ten, Milwaukee nine, Kansas City eleven, Louisville n".ne, Rochester nine, Denver eleven and one- half, Indianapo lis eleven. On one of the trips of the steamer Aus tralia from San Francisco to Honolulu, after thn first day out, a party of poker players took poeet sion of a corner table in the smoking room, and with the ex ception of the necessary intervals for malaand rest (after lights had been turned ont for the night), played contin uously for the rest of the voyage. The night before the arrival, when the moon was near the foil and was flooding the gently nndulating waves with a bread silver streak, and the air wa warm and langurona, all the passengers were ont on deck after dinner reveling in the beautiful scene except the few aronnd the corner table sitting in shirt sieeves in the close atmosphere of the smoking room attending strictly to business. By and by some one oa deck thooght of them and said it was too bad that they should be missing such a lovely scene, and a passenger went aft and urged tLem to come out and enjoy it. Alter consid erable demurring they left their cards and chips ou the table, and stepping oot ide, tock one brief glance at the moon. Then one of them spoke wbat was evi dently the sentiments of the party "No money in it," said be, and they prompt ly filed bak into the smoking room, took up their places and resumed busi ness San Fancisco Commercial News. The Pendieion K. U. takes an opti mistic view of things at fo.lows: A re cent statement made by Tbe First Na tional Bank of Pendleton show that it has on deposit $500,897 00 and "cash on hand," f300,3t15?. This is a very handsome showing There is more money on depot'.t in the bankt of Pen dleton at this time tban ever before and more money is idle in Pendleton than at any previous .time. Pendleton and Umatilla county people are beginning to have a surplus of capital which should be invested in local enterprises. And that tbe loaning business has quite near ly extinguished Itse.f money will grad ually get into such enterprises and bet ter conditions will result from it. Hav ing to pay interest in the past on money borrowed from the outside has drained this section of much of its substance and destroyed tbe better portion of its vital ity. Tbe hard times effected a partial cure in this regard and. the result is. local money is accumulating and even ten per cent interest will be a rare thing in a few years. Property that a ill pay eight par cent and even six per cent per annum, will lein demand and enter prises will be inaugurated aod the coun try developed by the ne of home money intelligently employed. This will in sure better conditions and wider pros perity (ban ever before experienced by this section. ' , I e: 8 I and cash 10 Miyib. tb - 1 Get the right start. The first day of one thousand eight hundred ninety seven. Coal oil is double what it should be, due to the failure ot the gonernment to enforce the law against trusts. We will soon have the state legislature with us. Coming directly upon the meeting of the slate board of equaliza tion, a donble affliction will be given the people. These tariff manipulators bad belter be careful how they legislate so aa to in crease the cost of the necessaries of life without any corresponding increase of income to go with it. As this it now we might just as well as not resolve on several things, in fact there is a big field for repolving. But resolution Is not enough, in fact a reso lution not kept is a poor concern. Go at it deliberately and not sentimentally; Let all your resolutions be for the better mert of mankind. Before election camnaign orators promised good times instantly as the re sult of McKInlej's election. They said tne rear oi iree silver was what was keeping times bard, and that just as soon as that was settled there would be an instantaneous improvement. aa there, not much. There was a forced improvement, but it was mostly ficti tious. Now matters are seeking their level, and the public is seeing things as they are . In the nature of thina pros perity must be of s'ow growth, and it was unfair and dishonorable for politi cians to claim that McKintey'a election would bring it with a jump. There are 530 regutered citixens of the United States in Jerusalem. Of these, 433 are jews. Ajmostall the others are second Adventists. The Spoffordite there, or "Overcomers," as they call themselves, has recently been increased by an additioo of H73redish Americans mostly from Chicago. The leader, Mrs. Spafford, lays claims to prophetic pow ers, claiming to be nnder the direct pro tection of the Almighty, and she is averse to having any buman power in terfere. We do not snow whether this is a religious or feminine trait on her part. We can understand the Jewt going back to Jerusalem, because there I is where their race first etablisbed its power, ft is there where their literature became marked. They believe that there, too, their race will be restored and united, and, as communications are quickened and cheapened , tbe t rade of the Holy Land because ol the increasing travel there annually, it becoming a feature. It is a region filled with cr,i memories, allhoagh we have beard more than one viritor there sav, "Pa not go to Jerusalem or the Holy Land . It is ail so small and mean and pe-tty, that yonr present reverence for tne pace uJ iu memories will ! shocked by a visit ttere." Ktill, it it tbe place around which the interest of the worM centers more than any other. It it a place that it will be possible, with time and money, to ive great maj-sty to, and not reckon ing time at men reckon it, but by the slow swinging pendulum of the years, 330 yetrt hence Jerusalem tny be the most interesting anj impressive spot nnder the son. Fx. The Petition. Editor Democrat. The mammoth polyglot pet'.Uon to tne governments of the world to abolish the horrors of the liquor traffic, haa lately come out in a new form. It has been presented to Queen Victoria in tbe moet magnificent volomet ever seen. It ha covers engrossed in delicate, artistie coL oring, by the finest artists, with every British name photographed, embelliob ed with tbe well-known monogram, and a white ribbon trailing across tbe out side. Lady Henry Somerset bad these made herself, saying: "The petition sha'.l go to tbe Queen in such a way that the wili know wbat the white nbbon movement means ! Mist Wil!rJ ia anxiout to create a new department of work : One against tbe gambling vice. "A'e read,' tbe says, "of the groteeque election wagers Wbat do yon think onr brothers would say, if we women engaged in tucb f jliiet in such vivacious stirring np of thiegs that ought now to quiet down, in tbe payment of millions of dollars to meet these odious wsgers? One man expa triating himself trom his country ever more, another man never cutting bis beard and going about like Methutaleh, because their candidate had not wen. As every saloon is the home ot gamb ling, I believe we ought to have an aot- gambUng department, and work earoeat- 'J or mat cause ." i ... .. Curious tacts. Stwd'jst is turned into transportable fuel in some paru of Scotland by a very simple process. It is heated under hih steam pressure until the res'nnns in gredients become sticky, when it is pressed into bricks. Oce man with a two horse power machine can turn out nine thousand brick a day. In Paris, where pneumatic tires have come Into use on some of tbe pnbl'ccabs, it baa been found that, owing to the re duced shock tq the vehicles, the cost of repairs haa been lessened fifty per cent, to say nothing of tbe taving to the rerve of passengers and otbtrs, and to the muscles of horses. Anything that diminishes the noises of the city Is a dis tinct gain to tbeconifoit and health of the Inhabitants. Tbe first public library was established in New York in 1700. The first station ary steam engine was put up in Phila delphia in 1773. The first paper mill was pot in operation in Koxborouga, Pa., in 1093. The first straw paper manufactured in tbe country was made in 1S28. The first gold pens were roada by hand in New York City in 1840. Philadelphia was the first city to issue a directory, dolig so in 1785.

SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS The paBt week has seen the departure of an old year and the arrival of a new one, a mere changing of figures, really a part of a cycle with hardly a mark to show the place. As one grows o'der this New Years day seems to come more fre quently, the months almost tumbling over themselves o get a'ound, particu larly with the busy person. We cunnot make too uiurb of tee moments. The New Year always suggests tesolu tions. Good resolutions kept are a fine t'ting; but resolutions repeaUdly broken are worse than n.tne.

Washington Letter. From our regular Cornsjxw1it. Wasuisoton, Dec.2Sth. 18 Congress not being in session, tbe tar iff barons were in and around the ways and mean committee room at the cap itol, iu which Mr. Dingley and his re publican associates on the committee today begaa the public bearings upon the several cbedu!rs of tbe proposed new Dingley tariff bill, were the center of attraction. The schedule upon which today's beariegs were bated was that embracing epir.ts, wines and other bev erages. The republicans had expected that the South would be largely repre aented amoog thoe asking for favors under this schedule, but they were dis appointed- The next echedoles to be taken up will be that cf cotton goods followed by that on eogar and tnolassee. There seem to be a general disposi tion to misunderstand the iisue raised between congress and the president by secretary O'ney when be said that the president would not obey a jjict resolu tion even if passed over bis veto, direct ing him to recounts tbe indepei.decre of Caba. because the president a'ooe had the right to decide such questions.

When the republicans take the first step towards an increase of ex travagance by the introduction of a new tariff hill, at the extra session, that will furnish more money to ba speit, It is tbe purpose of Judge Helm to make a speech, In. which if he cannot prevent extravagance, he will at least attempt to make it clear lo the people that it exists nnder present expenditures; be will also endrayor to show that the expenditures of the government should not exceed $330,O00.OX) a year, and that if they were reduced to that amount the present tariff would produce an annual surplus of $I00,0W,0O0, which ecu Id bs applied to tbe reduction of the bonded debt. The Pacific railroad lobbyists are so uneasy aboot the prospect of the fund ing bill to come up iu the bouse Jan. 7, that they have followed representatives out of town in order to talk to them ia favor of the bill during the recess. The opponents of the bill are also active, and the four dj 8 it will be under discussion in the house are not at all likely to be dull.
