The New York legislature has decided that the New York ex hibit at the world's fair must be closed on Sunday. A spasm of virtue must have struck that body. Wm. Jolly, republican candidate for sheriff, has gone into the race to win. Some of our democratic brethren who are predicting his de feat, may have a little surprise awaiting them after election in June. The democrats have put their ticket in the field. It is a ticket that will be defeated if the repub licans do their duty and get in and work for the republican ticket as they should. . The' Salem Statesman says: For a quarter of a century the democracy in its platforms has been tenting on the old republican camp-grounds bringing up the rear on every great issue, but never making a new one. And the outlook now is that it will have to pitch its tents on the camp-ground of American protec-. tion, if it ever gets on top again. The democratic cry that "it is all done for political effect" when ever the administration takes a manly stand against the encroach ment of foreign powers seems to have some truth in it. At least there have been marked political effects, so far as the governments of Italy, Chile, and Great Britain are concerned, when Uncle Sam got after them. Such "political effects" will do us no harm. The democrats have held their convention. Now the political campaign begins in earnest. The democrats are not going to sit around and see their candidates whipped at the polls next June without an effort and a struggle. Not much; they are going to get in and elect their ticket if they can. It behooves the republicans to get actually at work and pull together in harmony on a thorough ly organized basis frow now on un til next June. The republicans of Rhode Island fired the first gun of the presiden tial campaign at their election last Wednesday. It was a small gun, but it shoots a very large ball and made a vigorous kick against tammany free trade demo cracy. If the democrats cannot carry a manufacturing state with the promise of free raw material, where will they be when they come to the agricultural districts 'i .Left, of course. Here is the sneech of.T .Taclr. ulek, of Roseburg, in nominating .Dinger nermann lor congress in the republican state convention. '1 have the honor to place in nom ination a gentleman who is well and favorably known not only in this stale but in the United States, who has given proof that he is able and ever ready to give his time and ability for the best inter est of his constituents, who has carried the republican party in thin state to success with the larg est majorities that ever greeted any candidate in Oregon, who by his untiring and successful efforts to benfit our fair state in the halls of congress has earned for himself the 'esteem and support of this I place in nomination the Je Biiiger Hermann." - Till! RHODE ISLAND ELECT ION. Rhode Island, whose election was carried by the -republicans on Wednesday, is the only state in the Union, save Louisiana, whose election takes place on the 19th inst, that chooses its government in the spring. Oregon holds her tate election lor minor otnceis in June, Alabama in August, Ver- i mont the first Tuesday and Maine the second Monday in September, Florida and Georgia hold state elections in October. Rhode Island is a close state, since the abolition of restricted suffrage has added several thous and 'new voters to the lists, the mnjority of whom have been as- i.-.i to be of democratic spmpa thies. Both of Rhode Island's representatives in the lower house of congress are democrats, and in 1890 the democrats elected the governor. In state elections in Rhode Island, as in New Hamp shire and Connecticut, it takes a majority to elect. The legislature, which chooses the United States senators and sometimes the gov ernor, is chosen, as in Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont, under the "town system," and not according to population, as in New York and Massachusetts. In Vermont, for example, the towns of St. George and Glastonbury, with about fifty votes each, have about the same representation in the lower house as the city of Burlington with 3,000 votes. This is a non-republican system, and under it we not seldom find in close states, like New Hampshire, Connecticut and Rhode Island, no election by the people and the election of state officers made by the legislature. The failure of the democrats to carry Rhode Island on Wednes day insures the re-election to the United States senate of Senator Aldrich, who is the peer of Gov ernor McKinley, of Ohio, as an able and learned expounder of the republican doctrine of protection. The democracy have failed to carry Rhode Island on the tariff issue, expounded by ex-Governor Camp bell and Grover Cleveland; they have failed to defeat for re-election the ablest republican in the state, save John Sherman; they have lost all chance of adding the four electoral votes of Rhode Is- land to the democratic column in November next. Rhode Island was good- stamp ing ground for the democratic tar iff reformers, . who desire "free wool" and taxed woolen goods, but the Rhode Island manufac turers refused the bribe; they saw that ultimately "free wool" would be followed as it was in England by free woolen goods, and they were smart enough to see that a protective tariff to endure and justily itself must be a fair tariff; the producer of raw material and the manufacturer wrere in the same boat and they must" sink or swim, survive or perish together. The western wool grower and the eastern manufacturer are both cared for by the McKinley tariff, which is a fair tariff; for the east ern manufacturer to bite at the bribe of free wool would be sure to turn the western, wool grower into a free trader; protected wool and protected woolen goods must stand or fall together; tree wool is only the first step to free trade. Post-intelligencer. According to Dunn's Review of Trade for the past week the prices ot nearly all commodities in gen- ; eral use have declined fully 18 ; per cent, since this time a year ago. As the democrats have al- i ways claimed that the McKinley taritt would increase prices be- . yond the means of workinrnen this little statement will serve as a most effective republican argu ment. Since wages remain the same and prices are lower surely the tariff has not injured the wage earner at anv rate. Eighteen years ago the demo crats got possession of the Jackson county government, receiving it from the republicans without a dollar ot indebtedness and in a flourishing condition. Immedi ately the county began running in debt and the accumulation now reaches a total of more than $180, 000 and the interest on that sum exceeds the amount annualy spent by the democrats to improve the roads of the county. Democratic officials must have been having a fat time down in Jackson county. The republicans have again nominated Hon. S. W. Condon for the office of prosecuting attorney for the " second judicial district. There is little doubt but that he will be reelected, as he has made a good and clean , record for him self during his present term of of fice, one that the people of this district will endorse at the polls next June. . A glance over the convention on Wednesday, says the Mercury, revealed tne lact mat uregon may ( justly boast of a very large number of fine Websterian Jeffersonian and Lincolnian heads among its . local statesmen. I ic MisEiir. The-democrats in congress are not in a jubilant irame of mind. When the session began last De cember, four months ago, they carried themselves with the feel ing that they would have a walk over, as it were, in the coming , canvass. They had an overwhelm ing victory, had 140 majority' in the house, and they felt that the whole earth belonged to them. Their mission was to repeal the McKinley tariff act 'and establish free coinage of silver. They feel now that they can do neither the one nor the other. The tariff part of their contract is in abeyance, but the free silver end of the job seems to have gone into thin air. The vote on the silver bill shows that the democrats are not only scarce, but badly so. They are all mixed. In catering to the farmers' alliance and all of the other outside shows in politics, they seem to have undertaken more than they can carry out. How to place their allies, and car ' ry out their promise on silver, is ! what now disturbs their equan : imity. The troublesome republi- cans in congress are very unkind ; in refusing to get them out of their difficulty. Statesman. CLEANLINESS. Cleanliness is conductive to health. It is a necessary condition to a strong and vigorous, body; not only is this true of the body, but is equally so of a city. It is sur prising how much negligence there is in this respect. One would be surprised at the condition of many of the back door j'ards both in the business and residence portions of the city, if an investigation were made. Often the front yards pre sent an attractive appearance and are quite inviting, but they are no index of what may be the condi- A t . 1 1. 1 Jl 1 ' uon oi me uacisuoor varus, ins no credit to many of our thrifty houseowners that such a state of things exists. The filth in some yards is unbearable; filthy water and scraps from the table are al lowed to accumulate around the back door, till they become a nuisance. Not only are they so to the family, but they are equally i f to thef neighbors, who perhat keeP.a clean yard. I here is n JS no occasion tor this negligence: it costs no more to be clean than it does to live in filth and dirt. The poor can have clean yards just as easily as the rich. It costs com paratively nothing to have clean yards. Nothing is so prettj' in the city as a little cottage in a clean yard, surrounded, it may be, by trees and shrubbery. Even if the yard is not large enough for trees, a little grass and a lew flowers would adorn it; but. cleanliness should be the main feature. The uncleanliness of back door yards is theause of a great deal of sick ness; it could not be otherwise; the constant breathing o! the viti ated air from so much filth is a health-destroying element. Our housewives , should take some pride in keeping a clean yard; there is no reason why the front yard should be clean and have a pleasant appearance while the back yard would nauseate "you were you to go into it. Old bones, potato peelings, old fruit cans, the table leavings of all kinds, lie in a disgraceful heap. These places are legion; every city is contami nated with them. Our citizens should feel pride enough in their homes to make them both beauti ful and cleanly. Springtime is favorable to a gen eral clean Up. Refuse matter of i j . t ii it : every uim snouiu oe removeu o- loie the hot summer days come. If the whole city is cleaned and garnished, so to speak, there will be no pestilential vapors to breathe, and the general' health fulness will not be impaired. Clean up. - I . Cast out from the great people's I party, .the prohibitionists and woman suffragists will trot in dou ble harness this year. They took a preliminary spin in Oregon at convention Thursday, and have been training together in a similar way in other states. Where they will be at the end of the great race next November is a question upon which they hold an opinion some what different from that of other mortals; It is discouraging to have offices go begging for candi dates. Oregonian. The interest-bearing debt of the United States is rapidly melting away. At the beginning of March, the amount of the debt on which interest is paid was $585,02S,O80. or only about $9 per capita. On most of this debit but 4 per cent interest is paid, while some of it draws but 2 per cent. On no other people in the world is the burden of taxation so light. . ; Wm. Jolly is a man well quali fied for the office ot sheriff. U- is a man whose character cannot be impeashed. A man who will fill the office with credit to . him self and the people of Benton county." DEM lt; " WASiiliMiiOiN LfcUlEJR. From our Regular Correspondent. . . Washington, April 4, '92. There is no- longer room for doubt that the at the time seem ingly unexpected termination of the silver battle in the house was but the carrying out of a carefully pre-arranged plan on the part of certain democratic leaders who did not wish their party committed on this question at the opening of the presidential campaign. They wish to leave the.way open for the democratic party to pose as favor ing free coinage in states where it will be beneficial to do so, and as opposing it in other states, just as that party has always done in presidential elections on most questions of national importance. The small fry were not let-in the scheme, or Representative Bland would not have blackguarded Speaker Crisp in such a savage way and then had to eat his'words afterwards, when he was told why Speaker Crisp had seemingly be trayed the ultra free silver men; but they all now know the mean ing of the whole business and about eiglity or ninety of them are trying to hatch up some scheme of revenge, and if they only had a nervy leader they might accom plish something, as with the pres ent average attendance in the house, that many members, it properly handled, could easily tie up the house and keep it tied up until their purpose was accom plished. As yet they only threaten, and those who threaten seldom fight. It is not regarded as probable that the silver campaign opened in the senate by the debate on Mr. Morgan's resolution will resulc in any definite action by that body on the actual question ot free coinage, although the dodgers like Hill are in a state of trepidation on account of it, and may be forced to define their position. The first fsee trade measure, the Springer free wool bill, will be put through the house this week, but there is not the remotest probabil ity of its getting through the sen ale. The alliance men in congress have adopted a new financial 'lad," and to hear them discuss it one would suppose that they actu ally expected the bill authorizing it to pass. It is for the secretary of the treasury to issue on demand of the several slates, legal tender treasury notes, similar to those now in general circulation, in any amount desired up to $30 per cap ita, taking the population as given in the last census. The states are to deposit as security twenty-year : bonds, bearing interest at the rate oi one per cent, per annum. The I bill says nothing of how the states i are lo redeem these bonds at the expiration, of the twenty years, al though it authorizes the legisla tines lo distribute the money, at their discretion. Like the sub- treasury scheme, it looks well on paper, and would be equally im possible to put into piactical oper ation. Not a single democrat ic member of the senate committee on the district ol Columbia voted lor Sen ator McMillan's bill lo appropri ate 1 5,000 towards entertaining the members of the G. A. R. who will attend the encampment in : this city, which that committee, by tiie vole of republicans, has la i vorably reported to the senate. I Hie original oiil was lor $100,000, ; but upon consultation with the f local com mil lee n was reduced j and a provio inserted that $t50,000 should be raided by private con- tribiuions ami spent before any of ; the congre.iMnai appropriation can be u?ed. Il the democratic repre sentatives are as hostile as these democratic senators have shown themselves to be the bill will never get through the house. Representative Miller was right when he denounced the present rules ol the house, as worse than ! no rules at all, and said that the time of the house had been spent in-doing nothing or worse than nothing on account of tho-e rules. The house still keeps up the farce of holding one evening" ses sion .each week to consider private pension bills, but a quorum is never present and the point of "no quorum" is invariably made by some democrat, so that nothing is ever done at those sessions. At the last one representative Hemp hill, ot South Carolina, unmerci fully scored his party for what he termed its "child's play" in hold j ing these sessions, and pretending! to do what it had no idea of doing. .

In promulgating esoteric cogitations or articulating superficial sentimentalities and philosophical or psychological observations, beware of platitudinous ponderosity. Let your statements possess a clarified concise' ness, compacted comprehensiblencss, coale- scent consistency and a concentrated cog' ency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatulent garrulity, jejune babblement and asinine af fectations. In trying to impress upon others the superiority of the Wisconsin Central Lines, and why you and so man others nse this thoroughfare from St. Paul and Min neapolis and Duluth and Ashland to Mil waukee, Chicago and points east and south, it is not necessary to use jawbreakers.

This nursery is well known throughout the west, having been many years established. The proprietor, Mr. Geo. Pinney, has probably distributed more evergreens and forest trees through this state than any other man in the country. Although he raises and sells millions of forest trees annually, his spe cialty is evergreens. He plants hundreds of pounds of the seeds every year, and now has nearly three hundred varieties on his lists, fully equal! . the largest nurseries in Europe, which supply the nurseries and parks of royaltv. Of course, having such a large trade and growing them in such large quautities, he is able to give better prices for the same quality of trees than any other nursery man in tlifi country. It is well worth the while of any person to. send for his lists. When Baby was sick, we gave her Castorla. When she was a Child, she cried for Castoria. When she became Miss, she chmg to Castorla.
