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.

A turbulent gentleman in Mad
rid was surprised in the act of
making a bomb designed for social
reformation. 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. All he
wants now to make him happy is
a liver pad tliat will make one
suit of clothes last 15 years.
Judge Huffokd has been ap
pointed member of the republican
state central committee for Ben
ton county, to fill vacancy caused
by the transition of the late com
mitteeman, li. A. Bensell, into
another county. No better selec
tion could have been made none
to give better satisfaction.
The state alliance held a rous
ing convention at Oregon City
last week. 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.
