The Owneis of the Universe. Let as corner up the suDbeams Lying all around our path ; Get a trust on wheat and roses ; Give the poor the thorns and chaff; Let us find our chiefest pleasure Hoarding bounties of today, So the poor shall have scant measure And two prices have to pay. Yes, we'll reservou the rivers, And we'll levy on the lakes, And we'll lay a trifling toll-tax On each poor man who partakes ; We'll brand his number on him That he'll carry through his life ; We'll apprentice all his children, Get a mortgage on his wife. We will capture e'en the wind-god, And confine him in a cave; V And then, through our patent process, We the atmosphere will save; Thus we'll squeeze our little brother When he tries bis longs to fill, Put a meter on his windpipe And present our little bill. We will syndicate the starlight. And monopolize the moon. Claim a royalty on rest days, A proprietary noon ; For right of way through ocean's spray We'll charge jost what its worth; ' We'll drive our stakes around the lake9 In fact, we'll own the earth. Great Thoughts, London, England. Several thousand people would like to see Bryan at Albany . The people of Santa Clara who erected a triumphal arch to General Weyler do cot appreciate the eternal fitness or things. Sjme exchanges kick because of stolen editorial matter. The . Democrat is always pleased that it is considered good enough to be stolen, and sees it done coatin aally; hence never kicks. Is matter of fact though every newspaper u entitled to credit for its contents. From the Post: CoL Joe P. Johnston, who has been posi-omce inspector at et. rams ever since 18S7, and has just been transferred to the New Orleans district, ia in the city and wm yesterday renewing his old friendship with Representative Dockery Col. Johnston is quite a joker. Step ping np to a cigar counter at Wiilard'a, he said : "Let me have some of the cigars Mr. Dockery uaaaliy buys." He wee handed out a very good bat not expensive quality of domestic cigars. Selecting three he banded them to the Congressman . "Take them all," he said, "I bought ' them for you." Then taming to the dealer, he: continued, "Now give me a good cigar !or myself." There ia something in the following from the Lincoln county Leader : The Corviilis papers, especially the Gazette, have been and are violently op posed to President H. B. Miller, of the Agricultuaat College of that place, and a continual ar is kept np on tnat gent leman. We do not know Mr. Miller but we can assure those papers that they are making a very eerious mistaae. The fight they are keeping np ia doing the school and their city a far greater amount of harm than it does Mr. Miller. The papers seem to fail to realiza that the whole stale ia equally interested in the echoo! along with CorvalHs. A fight against-tbe president of that institution weakens the influence of the school and limns ra vote lor good. As I n? as Mr. Miller is president of that institution any attack against him in the nature of a fight of the past 13 an attack on the school. It woald he well for tha papers of C jrvallis to ponder on this matter a little. If Mr. Miller is not fit or qaalified to b9 president of the agricultural college then go to work quietly and depose him. Don't create a fight in it. and thus make the school f offer. A former Northwest windbag and pro fessed wit and poet, has obtained enocgb notoriety to be noticed in the Washing ton Post in the following interesting manner, the place visited being tbe postoflice address of an Albany man, Mr. P. J. Smiley for a few weeks: Mr. Lee Fairchild, of California, who was a prominent figure in the last Pres idential campaign, and who claims tbe distinction of having made more speech es than any man except Bryan daring the contest, is in tbe city. . Mr. Fairchild opened tbe campaign in Maine at Old Orchard with speakM Reed, and trav eled over tne greater part of the United j States. j "I look bick on that camptign," said i lie, at tne Arlington last night, with a good deal of pleasure, but ol all my ex periences the one at Danville, Va., is the mo3t pleasant one to me. When I arrived in Danville I was met by a pale faced fellow who advised me not to make a speech- He said there bad been no Republican campaign speech made there since 1833, when twelve negroes were shot. rManone lost the state on that account. Having campaigned in tbe West against populists and democrats for a number of years, I was rather phased at the idea ot having trouble. I toid the cb airman . that 1 desired the prelude to my speech to be without music or a biographical - sketch. Tbe chairman looked at me as if I'd gone crazy, but yielded to my wishes, and tbe meeting started. "I had spjken about five ruinates when a well organized band ofoung fellows in tbe center of the theater where tbe meeting was iielJ, shouted in concert, Rus ' Tne negross. who were not al lowsd on t':a ljer fljor, were packed in the galleries.

The Rights ot Office-Seekers From the Washington Post : The Hon. B:ily Mason is credited with saying that it costs him half of bis salary and fourteen hours a day to keep up with his correspondence, and the St. Louis Globe-Ddtnocoat is moved to observe that he "is giving office-seekers more atten tion than they are entitled to." It i plainly apparent from this that the Globe-Democrat observer has not been through the mill, or, if he ha, he has forgotten his experience. There is no. thing more hateful to the patriotic Am erican than ingratitude, and the'e is no more ehining object of ingratitude than a man who, having obtained an office, whether elective cr appointive, turns a cold shoulder to other ambitious citizens who desire to serve the government for a stipulated price. Why should not Hon. Billy Mason or Hon. Anybody-else, devote the larger part ot his time to office-seekers? How did the Hon. Billy get there but by assid nous and presietent effort However beau' tiful it mar be in theory that the office should seek the man, as a fact, the man has to seek the office, and use praisewor thy diligence to boot, or hia name is Ddonia right from tha start. Much of this howl about office-seekers comes from the class known aa business men, j but no business man' operates on such principles. The business man who waits for business to serk him does not make a very conspicuous auscees. On the contrary, lie maces a dismal failure. To succeed in lite n an) line, a man must get np and hustle. He most be alert, pushing, presietent, not easily rebnffWd, have a large deposit of gall on tap, most ba thick-skinned, and tteadily pursue th object on which bis mind is bent. The office-seeker is compelled to adopt the same tactics, only with additional energy. When a man gets what he is after, he ia apt to forget the men who helped him in his extremity. Every man who has attained a prominent pub lic office has done it with the help of other men, and he should expect to be called on to help them when they nd assistance. From the President of the United States down to a ward constable, it ia the same etory, and no successful office-seeker, can afford to torn a ?eaf ear to hia constituents seeking office. I, be does, he is ungrateful and forgetful o f tne assistance given him in his straggle for place. The office-seekers tie entitled to con sideration, and they ought to have it. The Hon. Bill Mason is strictly within his line ofduty in giving np much cf hie time to the office seekers. Teat's just what he oat to do. He was once an office seeker himself, and not so very long ago, either. The woods are full cf office seeker", and their claims should be recognized. Discussion on Collections. Editor Democrat: Your Tennessee correspondent teems to think that a collection in a eabbath ecbool is only a necessary evil. What i a sabbathscbool for if not to teach our duty as revealed in tbe scripture? Now it is most certain that the bible require regular systematic, cheerfel givin. as an act of worship. "Honor the Lord with thy sa batance un . if:. . .i and bring an offers." "Upon t je first day of the week, let everyone of you lay by him in slore as God hath pros pered Liro." "Ltt him labor, working wilh bis bands the thing which is good that be may have to give to him that naedetb." The children (big and little) at Tennes. see need to be taognt these troths in theory and in practice. See Luke 13: 2427. What is the need? Look around yon. The world is open to the 1 Gospel and there is a famine not of bread bat of bearing the word of God. For instance Venezuela gratefully recog nize that oar great nation has been true to duty in speaking np for her territorial rights. Sow tbe religions teachers of Venezuela are those who would keep the bible out of the 'people's bands and 1 understand that not one Amsrican baa gone to teach them, and nothing could be more definite than Chruts direction, "Go.preach the gospel to every crertare " We need not go outside of Linn county, to find opportunity to apply funds to true mission work . Let every sabbath take weekly offering as Christ directs, if it is only tc a week, that will eqial the mission contribution of two church members, on the average over our whole country. I have been in eleven states and have never seen a place where the people were so poor in the midst of each great abundance, as right here. I think it Is largely because we bave not learned to worship tLe Lord with our substance. Yours for the kingdom that shall never be destroyed. . H. Oakville, May 17. Tom Johnson, an ex-congressman, of Cleveland, Ohio, has a good reason why he supported Bryan for president although be is not a supporter of tbe free coinage idea. Mr. Johnson says: "Free coinage would let the poor rob tbe rich only once; whereas, the gold monomet aliets and protectionists propose to let the rich rob the poor forever. Knowing this I voted for Bryan and would do it again if given the opportunity . What wonder it U that some women are no heedless about the things that con cern them most. They endure all aorta of pain and misery with care lessness which wonld never be possible if they realized the conseauences. women understand thai when they neglect their health because they are too busy or overworked or their minds are taken up with other concerns, that they are balancing on the edge of a fatal precipice. Any weakness or dis ease of woman's special organism is no trifling matter. A woman who throueh indifference neglects these troubles is laving the foun dation for life-long wretchedness. A modest woman naturally recoils from the mortifying ordeal of examinations and local treatment which doctors insist upon. But there ia no necessity for any such re pugnant alternative. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures these delicate complaints positively and completely. It is a medicine pevised for this particular purpose by one of the most eminent of living specialists in woman's diseases. Dr. Pierce has been for nearly 30 yean lief consulting physician of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. During this time he has received fully ninety thousand letters from women who have been cured by the J Favorite Pre scription." Some of these letters are printed by permission in one chapter of Dr. Pierce's great thousand-page book, "The People's Common Sense Medical Adviser." It contain advice and suggestions for self treatment which every woman ought to read. More than half a million copies bave been sold at $1.50 each.

The bill also pro vides that the name of the writer of each editorial shall be appointed thereto. Mr. Jones says that he has a twofold reason in presenting tbe bill. In tbe first place, be thinks that the writer ought to get reputation for his work, which is now anonymous. In tbe second place, be says, tbe editorial writer, under tbe present system, lacks responsibility and becomes a simple writing machine for hia employer, irrespective of bia own tonest convijtions- "Consequently," said Mr. Jones, ''the reading public is losing all confidence in the great papers to which they were wont to go for their information and argument. I believe that the reading public has a right to know the sources of the editorial litera ture which they read and the influences that dictate such utterances.
