One of the grandest figures of modern times is the great leader of the English Liberals, Gladstone. He is bow nearly eighty years old, active, rigorous, intellectual and aggressive. His reading and study have been a general that he seems informed on almost any subject ChauncyM. Depew recently hail an interview with Gladstone, and said that every suhject talked about seem ed to be his specialty, so wide and ', general is his information. He is one of the few very prominent men who has had the courage to change his atti tude towards great public questions and acknowledge his mistakes in for mer opinions. He has finally con fessed bis mistakes of opinion about America, and now expresses his pleasure in knowing that he was mis taken. Intellectually he may not be superior to Bismarck, but his powers are used more in the interest of pro gress and the elevation of the oppress ed than the great. German who seems devoted to German imperialism. Both are great- men whose places it will be very difficult to fill when they pass away. SEVEN HUNDRED MILLIONAIRES. In the number of men possessing most extraordinary wealth America . takes the lead. In a recent French publication dealing with the subject twelve men are selected as the richest in the world, from a financial stand point, of course. Of this number seven aire Americans. Their names are Jay Gonld, Mackay, C. Vander bilt, J. P. Jones, Astor, Stewart and J. G. Bennett. The other five include the English Dukes, Westminister, Southeiland, and Noi thmuberland, Marquis Bute and Rothschild. . In all ft is shown that the world contains but 700 men'entitled to be : called millionaires, and the distribution of this number over the face of the earth is e interest England leads with 200 men possessed of $5,000,000 each; the United States takes second place with one even hundred; Germany and Austria, together have 100; France, 75; Russia and the Indies each 50; and all the rest of the world 125. No doubt we all think It is a shame, - as indeed ft is, that so much of the riches of toe. world should be held by so few, and yet, how many of ' us are ' there that would not like to be one of the 7001 ' THITOREGON PACIFIC. The Oregonian of the 27th inst., editorialy, says: The statement made by some one, who was either too care less to become informed or who m- tentionally falsified, that work had been stopped on the Oregon Pacific railroad, which statement was quickly denounced as untrue and without any foundation whatever, has again called no inconsiderable attention to this road. From its very location alone it cannot be otherwise than a great factor in the development of Oregon, and, more especially, of that portion lying east of the Cascade range. , It will disect the state, and for a great portion of toe distance across this common wealth it will be without a: competitor for the business which alreadyK:awaits its completion, and for ..that vastly greater volume which will accrue when sections now isolated are, by means of transportation facilities, opened up to settlement. Not much has . been said of the renewed activity in the building of the extension across the mountains and through eastern Oregon; but the preliminary surveys have been com . pleted, a contract of some magnitude has been awarded upon which work is now being pushed with all possible energy, and representatives of two or three other contracting firms are now ' at the front figuring upon many more miles of cuts, fills, bridges, eta, which still Temain to be built. All this is evidence sufficient that the $5,000,000 raised last spring by the company upon its bonds in New York, have been made available for immediate construc tion. The future of the Oregon Pa cific is no longer a matter of con jecture. Its success is assured beyond preadventure. For several years its management has struggled againsj ! failures and disappointments, never losing faith in the greatness ot the en terprise which it wai fostering, and now comes the keen satisfaction of being able to show to the most pessi mistic doubter the great possbilities which are plainly before it A great section of the country already too long isolated from the paths of commerce, though possess ing vast resources, lies between the Columbia liver and the California line, and the Cascades and the O. R. fe N. road. With the exception ot the branch line into Heppner built by j the last mentioned company, this vast area of our state, embracing many thousand square miles, is without transportation facilities other than those of the most primitive character, at the best only the packsaddle or the lumber wagon. It is scarcely possi ble to realize the wealth of this isolated inland country. The hardy pioneers who so far from its population have little time to spread before the outer world a knowledge of their valuable surroundings. Fi.r from the maits of trade, it requires unceasing labor on their part to establish themselves in comfortable competencies. Occasionally we read of great min eral deposits too far away from a rail road to be developed, sections of land which would yield fine crops which it were no use to raise .for lack of a market, and also of greatness, of the two principal industries of this region, wool growing and stock raising, in both of which money can be made de spite the obstacles which we have noted. " How much more prosperous then will be the people of this region, how much more- extensive will become their present resources and how rapidly will they increase in number, when a railroad pierces the very heart of this unknown land, so unknown, indeed, that but recently so great a paper as the Scientific American characterizes it as 'a vast, sterile, unproductive plain." Every benebt which should accrue to the ra'lroad which does so much for this country will be reaped by the Oreaon Pacific ' If there were no other aim in its construction than to de velop central Oregon, the road would be a financial success, as well as a pub lic benefit. But we do not-lose sight of the factthitt the bonds of this road, upon which the $5;000,000 for further construction were raised, were guaran teed by men well known in the financial world, men whose names are promi nently connected with the Chicago & Northwestern, a road that has aspira tions to be a transcontinental line, and whose connection with the Oiegon Pacific at Boise City will accomplish the desired end.- The improvement of Yaquina bay, for which congress has keen so ardently and so successfully importuned in the past, will also accrue to the benefit equally of the people of the state and of the stockholders of these tvo rail roads. The management of the Oregon Pacific has worked continually for this improvement, and pending its com pletion has not pushed the construction of tue-extension of the road so rapidly as otherwise it would have done. To make the operation of this road a com plete success requires a harbor at the western terminus of the road, ' where deep sea vessels can come and go with out delay of any kind. By the time this is accomplished the railroad will be built, and Oregon will have another shipping.point for her rapidly increas ing productions. "A, gentleman from Iowa with $50,000 in hLi pocket, visited Pendleton the other day and intimated that be would have en gaged in business there had the town not looked so ragged and out of order, and so he held onto his wallet and invested it at Walla Walla. Take warning, oil ye rag ged towns!" says an ex. Will this apply to Corvallis. Barrum & Bailey's circus and menagerie will sail for England in October for a winter season at the Olympia, London, which seats 30,000 persons.

Entirely cured by the Cuticura Remedies m nve weeks. I am coinz to tell you of the extraordi nary change your Cuticuka Reissues ' per formed on me. About the 1st ot April last I noticed some red pimples like coining out all over my body, but thought nothing of it until some time later on. when it began to look like spots of mortar spotted on,, and which came off in layers, accompanied with itching. I would scratch every night until I was raw. then the next night the scales being formed meanwhile, were scratched off again. Ia vain did I consult' all the doctors in the country, but without aid.- After giving np all hopes of recovery, I happened to see an advertisement in the newspaper about v:ur CuncuBA Kemedies, aud pur chased them from my druggist, and obtained almost immediate relief. X began to no tice that, the scaly eruptions gradually dropped on and disappeared one by one, and have been fully cured. I had the disease thirteen months before . I b'egau taking the Cuticura Remkdies, and in fonr or five weeks was entirely cured. My disease was eczema and psoriasis. 1 ree- comtneuded the Cuticura Rkmedies to all in my vicinity, and I know of a great many who have taken them, and thank me for the knowledge ot them, especially mothers who have babes with scaly eruptions on tbeir beads and bodies. 1 cannot express in words the thanks to ' yon for what the Cuticura Remedies have been to me.
