TIIESQXD.A Y OPENING QUESTION. If our christian friends do not become a little move guarded in their actions and language attri buted to them in some of their con ference' touching' the '-Sunday opening", question, they will yet persuade the world to believe that they are actuated by feelings far removed' from those impulses of "Divine love," which they profess for their fellow creatures. Hot tempers, bitter words and undig nified deport meut may be endured not sanctioned in senate halls or parliineutary sessions ol high degree, but they are not inspiring of respect toward the lolty name that bespeaks the courts of Lea ven the realms of peace, good will and righteous fellowship to which by. their doctrines they would direct us. It is to be feared that the name of religion has already suffered more hurt through the contention engendered than it can recover from in many years to come. Cer tainly more has it been injured than could the Sunday opening of the world's fair have injured the eouls to be affected by it. And herein rests the pith and marrow of the whole religious theme in. question. What effect will it have upon the lives of men? Will exclusion from the world's fair on Sunday bring any man or any number of men into the churches of religion or to pious lives? Will it enkinkle in the hearts of man any kindlier feeling toward -their fellows, or cultivate any attributes of charity "and hon or in humanity's dealings within Its own ranks? These latter prin ciples although looked upon as "of the earth earthy" are at once and at the same time the keystone of the heavenly. So we are taught in words and works divine. The extremist seems to have his heart eet on keeping heaven untarnished - as if heaven could not take care of itself, and wants to hoist all things to heavenly conditions at once by main strength. Other christian people, just as conscien cloiis, just as potent christian gents, just a3 upright in their lives before the world, feel that after, all "the proper study of mankind is man;" that the highest level of true manly rectitude is welLon inthe race of godliness; that . the only instrumentality for man's salvation in this world is man; that the manly influence which lea?s its fellows best toward the brighter light and the better way en Sunday or any other day is the best; and finally that man in his finite wisdom may be acting the most righteous in the premises by winning his lei low creatures yVom vilest sins to scenes elevating and better through the instrumentality of a world's fair on Sunday. No small degree of interest was excited la t week by the announce ment that the patent for one of the important features of the Bell tel ephone had expired. It appears that an investigation of the records of the patent office discloses that fact. The patents covering the so-called Blake transmitter will, it appears, expire shortly. The of ficials of the patent office at Wash ington are of opinion, according to a press dispatch which has beea given wide currency, that in view of the present state of the patents relating to telephones, etc., owned by the Bell Telephone Company, there seems to be no good reason why after January 30, 1S94, when the letters patent granted to Prof. Bell in 1877 expire, a telephone having' a magnetic transmitter should not be put upon the mar ket without danger of infringing other patents. - The merchants of Oorvallis can keen a lot of money here by call ing attention to their new, spring stocks. Advertising in a news-! paper that is generally read and circulated is the most effective ; way to do this. y CONCERNING THE O RE AT STAPLE. BaADSTBKKT'a reports on the wheat situation are exhaustive and accurate. Its statistical showings are based upon collations from every section of the North Amer can continent. Concerning the supply on hand about the 11th of March that journal ha3 the follow ing: Available stocks of wheat east of the Rocky mountains decreased 478,000 bushels last week. Stocks on the Pacific coast tell away in the same time about 170,000 bush els. Combining changes in stocks of wheat, both coasts, it is found that the total net decrease, United States and Canada, last week was 648,000 bushels, against a decrease of 772,000 bushels the week be fore, as compared with a gain of 187,000 bushels in the like week of 1892, with a decrease of 1,593, 000 bushels in 1891, and 1,437,000 bushels in the corresponding week of 1890. If the indicated aggregate of supplies, visible and invisible, in the United States on March 1, 1S93, is fairly accurate, the usual allowances for spring seeding, for food for three months, and for ex port at the rate maintaind since January 1st, point to our carrying over about 48,000,000 bushels, visible and invisible, on July 1st next, as compared with 08,000,000 bushels carried over on July 1st, 1892. The government report came out at 4 o'clock, and confirmed the extreme estimates ol the amount in farmers' hands. The total on hand is 26.2 per cent, of the last crop, or 135,000,000 bushels. This indicates that the last crop was considerably underestimated, as the figures of Consumption, export and supply will not permit of more than 100,000,000 bushels being in farmers' hands. Prices broke rap Illy on the curb, May wheat selling immediately at 86c. Evidently the domestic wheat crop, as fre quently claimed, was nearer 550, 000,000 bushels, than 515,000,000 bushels, as officially reported. The Roseburg Review accuses Game Warden McGuire of dis criminating in favor of Columbia river fishermen, and against the Umpqua fishermen, in the mat ter of prosecuting express and transportation companies for car rying fish during the Columbia river close season. The closed season for the Columbia river is from March 1st to April 10th, and for southern Oregon from April 15th to June 1st. Warden Mc Guire claims that Portland dealers have no right to sell salmon caught in southern Oregon, not withstanding the season is open there. He instructed the express companies as to his views on the subject, and word was sent to all agents to refuse to receive for shipment to Portland any fresh salmon. This order, however, was coutramanded Thursday, and express agents in the southern part of the state were authorized to handle salmon caugnt thera. Attorney General Chamberlain gives it as his opinion that dealers have a right to sell fish caught in the Umpqua at this season, in the Portland markets. No stronger evidence of the enormous influence that an indi vidual may acquire was ever given than the solicitude felt by the friends of Irish home rule for the health of Gladstone. It is gener ally acknowledged that without the continued support of the great English statesman the home rule bill, now so near being made a law, is almost certain of defeat. Should Gladstone's recovery be long deferred, home rule for Ire laud may be again indefinitely postponed, though never since the agitation of the question was suc cess so promising for its establish ment. A Delegation of newspaper men called on President-Cleveland and plugged the question squarely to him if he really meant the "no journalist need apply" rule attrib-1 uted to him. He promptly an swered no such rule was intended. Hence the 'fugleman-' of the- hun gary faithful are plying their scoops for billets to Alaska, uYur- rup" and such, as persistently as j if nothing had happened. i OREGON'S MINERAL EXHIBIT. C. W. Ayers, mining commis sioner of Oregon, sends the follow ing communication to the Gazette which contains interesting infor mation lo those desiring to assist in the laudable undertaking of furnishing mineral specimens for exhibition at the world's fair: "The time allotted us in the col lection and. classification of Ore gon's mineral exhibit at the world's Columbian exposition is i.ecesarily very limited. We therefore earn estly urge and solicit co-operation and assistance on the part of all who are interested in securing a creditable display ol the vast and valuable mineral resources of our. state. Such an opportunity ol dis seminating information and call ing the world's attention to the greatness- and profitableness ol Oregon's mining properties will noi soon recur. In gathering the ex hibits and preparing same for ship ment, system and uniformity mut be observed. To that end we beg leave lo submit the following sug gestions and directions: 1. For coal exhibits it will be necessary to pack closely in boxes that will not hold over 40 pounds, and as large pieces as possible up to tiiis weight. Building stone, lime stone, mar ble, kaolin, fire-clay and kindred substances, in cubes of 12 inches, dressed on different faces to show difference in method of finish. II possible, a small quantity of man ufactured articles made from the materials mentioned. 2. Iron or in pieces of no greater weight than 100 pounds, and not more than one such piece from any one mine. Where it is of smaller chunks, not more pieces than will aggregate 100 pounds in weight. 3. Gold, silver, copper, nickel and kindred ores in quantities of not less than 100 pounds from each mine or prospective mine, and not more than 500 pounds from any one. Ores in large pieces are the best for exhibiting purposes, and as much of our ores in Oregon are in a granulated or decomposed condition, great care must be used in handling and shipping. 4. Dirt from placer mines should be gathered from off bed rock, and all gravel stones larger than a quail's egg picked out. Two or three sacks of such dirt from any one mine is sufficient. This dirt will be worked at the fair on the miniature placer mine in regular manner, and credit given the mine from which the dirt is taken. To better enable a prorjer class ification of the exhibit and for the distribution of information con cerning Oregon's mineral wealth among interested and inquiring visitors at the exposition, it is re quisite and of the utmost impor tance that an accurate aud proper description of each specimen ac company same. We have pre pared and herewith enclose a list of the data desired. These ques tions should be carefully answered and in each instance returned with the exhibit. Anyone having any choice, rich specimens of ore that were found in Oregon are asked to let us have them, and a receipt will be given lor their safe return at the close of the exposition. All such specimens, together with all nuggets, gold and silver bricks, opals, crystals, etc., and anything of special value will be kept in a locked show case, and will be put in a safe at all hours during which the exhibition is closed to visitors'. It will not be possible for us to receive any private cabinets or collections, as our space in the mineral building will not admit, but all valuable or choice speci mens will be accepted from them and placed in show cases and pro per credit given to the owners. In all such cases, however, it will be necessaiy for the owner to give a proper description of each speci men, as without identity they are without value. Mr. F. H. Rowe is superintend ing the collection of exhibits in eastern Oregon, and all ores and specimens from that section should be sent to him at Baker City. Ex hibits from other sections should be forwarded to O. W. Ayers, min ing commissioner, Portland, Ore. Cojipabative statements of the amounts of the approprations made by the fifty first and the fifty-second congresses respectively have been made by the chairman of the committees on appropria tions of the two houses. Senator Allison, the chairman of the sen ate committee, estimates the ap propriations made by the fifty first congress at'- $9S8,417,183, ' and those made by the . fifty-second congress at $1,026,822,049. These figures are weighty. They show the difference between' that monstrous" "billion dollar con gress' and a congress which has added to the "burdens of . the dear people" some $SS,00(5,000 , more.

He dropped the bomb, which 'exploded, spraying him against circumstance. As his friends scraped him lrom the ceil ing they could not but wonder if for one fleeting instant the deceased had not realized, and found com fort therein, that the bomb was a good one, and that to the exent of its ability, society was being re formed. The county court of Clackamas county has giveu the road super visors of of that district volumi nous instructions, how to conduct the road work under the require- ments of the new law, and states that should the county court here after appoint a roadmaster for the county, the supervisors must work under his sunervision, and make their reports to him. The network ot electric wires at the late conflagration in Boston obstructed the firemen's use of ladders in their attempts to rescue people from upper windows and thereby caused loss of life and se vere injuries. Nothing is plainer than that the wire traps must go under ground where they ought to be. It is now stated that the coun try editor who takes all advertise ments out in trade will be grati fied to learn that the new pill just patented, will keep a man alive for a week without eating.

The New York Sun says that in some parts of the west the democrats who became populists are called demopops and popocrats, while the republicans who have deserted to the populists, go by the name ot poplicans.
