Ma Who Acblsvsd Fata J as It Was rrtrphssted Thsy Wowld-Bot s Mart Hot rorgat That Maay Are Called, but Few Are Chosaoj I For one prediction that comes true many hundreds fall, of which we never fcear. Many a fond mother prfldlets a pro fessorship or Judgoshlp or tlhoprlo for a favorite son, who nevertheless slinks through the world among the crowd of unknown people. For all that sundry re markable predictions baTS at Tarlous times been uttered which have come true, and yet nothing miraculous has been attributed to them. Sulla said of Cessar, when he pardunod him at the earnest entreaty of bis friends: "Vou wish bis pardon I consent, but know that this young man whose life you so eagerly plead for will prove tbo mot duodlv enemy of the cartyw men you aim I have defended. There Is In Cajsar more than a Marlua." The prediction was real lzed. Thomas Aaulnas was so unuiually lira pie and reserved in eonvvrutlon that bis fellow students regarded blin as a very mediocre person snd Jocularly called blin "the dumb ox ofSlolly." ills maior, Al bert, not knowing himself what to think, took occasion one dar. before a largo as semblage, to Interrog'tte him on several very orofound questions, to which the Uls- clplo replied with so penetrating asngoclty that Albert turned towsrd tho youths who surrounded his chair, snd said, " Vou call brother Tbouiai a Jumbox, but be auured that one day the noise of his doctrines will be beard all over tba world." Sully's father tirudlcted of him, when only 13 years old, that he would ono day be great by reason or nis courago ana nis virtues. Had not the prophecy como true we bad Dover heard of It Hut Sully was early tul In tho way of promotion, and onoe In the road tbo rest is comparatively easy. Cardinal Morton, archbishop or tauter bury, early predicted tbo future of blr Thomas More. Pointing to tho boy one day, be said to thowi about blm, "That youth will one day be tho ornament of Louland." Cardinal Wolney, though a butcher's son, had an early pruteiitlment of bis future emlnonoa Ho und to ssy that It ho could but onoe set foot at court be would soon Introduce hlmulf there. And scarcely bad be obtained ailrulwtlon at court, tbo pos sessor of a humblo benoflco, thnn bo did not hesitate to say thnt "henceforth there wss no favor to which be dureu not aspire. At 18, Oondl, nfu-rward Cardinal do Kctt, composed certain remlnlw-cnivs of early studies, on reading which Hlchelleu eiclalmod, "Here s a dangerous fellow! Milton in hie early writings fort'shari- owed bis great poem, then not matured In bis mind, lleuut'lnreu bis Intention many years bororu he commenced bis taK or writing snmo great poem for posterity, "which tbo world would not willingly let die." Maznrln early predicted tho brilliant career of Louis XIV. lie said of him, "He has In him stuff for four kings." And at another time, "Uo may take tbo rood a llttlo later thnn others, but ho will go much farther." Ono day a ninsnn named Barbo said to ilnie. do Malntenon, wbo was at that time tho wife of Scarron, "After much trouble a great king will lovoyou, you will reign; but, although at tho summit of favor, It will be of no benefit to you." He added some rouarkablo details,- which appeared to cause her some emotion. Her friends rallied her about the prediction, when the conjurer said to them with the air of a man confident of tho truth of what be said, "You will be glad to kin the hem of her gsrment then, Instead of amusing yourself at her expense." On the other band, Louis Xl ono day observed to Hoohefoucauld and tho Duo do Crcqul: "Astrology is altogether falte. I had my horoscope drawn in Italy, and tboy told mo that after having lived a long tliuo I would fall in love with an old woman, and love her to the end of my dujs. Is thore the least likelihood of thatr" And, so saying, he bunt out lauding. Hut this did not nevertheless hinder him from marrying Mmo. de Malntenon when sbe was 60 years old. Ho ttiut both tho prediction of the mason and tlmtof tbe Italian conjurer oame true at last. when Voltaire was engnued In tho.tuily of classical learning, tbe r ather Lejay was onoe vary much irritated by tho inwilence of his repartees, and biking him by tbo collar shook htm roughly.Mylng: "Wretch ed youth I lou will some day bo the Hand- ard of deism In Trance." Father l'ulu, Voltaire's confessor, did not less correctly divine the future oaroer of his young peni tent when he said of him, "This boy is de voured by a thirst for celebrity." bterne has told an anetxloteof whut hap pened to him at HalUax. The schoolmas ter had got tbecttllng newly w hitewashed, and tho mischievous buy, mounting the steps almost before tho Job was completed, daubed with brush on tho celling stio words, in capital letters, "iau. Sterne." For this the usher cruelly beat blm, at hearing of which the master exnrviucd his displeasure and said, before Mcrne, that be would not bare tho uame effaced, mvlug that Kterne was a boy of genius and cur tain to make a reputation lu the world. Let us conclude by sdoutlug the thouuht of Goethe: "Our desires are the presenti ments of the faculties which lie within us tho precursors of thomi things which wo are capable of performing. That which wo would be and that which wo desire pre sent themselves to our Imagination, about us and in the future; wo prove our iu.pl- raiiou 10 an oujoot wincn wo already se cretly possess. It Is thus that au Intense, anticipation traunforiim a real pctblllty Into an imaginary reality. When uch a tendency Is decided lu us at each Haw of our developments portion of our primitive desire accomplishes Itself, under favorable olreumstanoes, by direct means and In un favorable circumstances by some more cir cuitous routo, from which, however, we novo fall to reach tbo straight roud again." tit Louis Globo lVmocrat Was It a Chain) Mr Tennyson spoko i f a cycle of Cathar, but It is a noteworthy f.. t that he didn't refer to It as being a t halnless ono. So here Is an invention at last that the Chi nese will hardly have tho nerve to claim. Cleveland Loader. The British empire has an area of 11, 400,000 square mlli and a population of 400,000,000.

"All goods pro tested by tariff have risen in price." This protective rise in the prices of the n ce?s(iries of lite will not plase the average Oregon farmer ho must sell his products in open competition in all markets of the world. Wheat is the principal pro duct of this coast and the price for it is fixed by Europtu market. A bountiful crop throughout the world would place the farmer io tbe usual condition which obtains where certain classes are protected by law. He would have the blessed privilege of selling abroad in a cheap market and buying in a dear one conditions that are not con duoive ti the prosperity of our working classes. Nor of any class, for that matter, lor when the farmer fails all fail. McKinley adherents who assured the people that prices for manu factured goods would not be ad vanced on account of ths protective tariff, which was designed only to shutout foreign imports, will prob ably see the error of their judgment when an additional cost is added to merchandise at the pleasure of the manufacturer. He will put the price just as high as his customers can stand, yet live. OLD PLATFORMS CALLED 05 FOB WITNESSES.

We give a sample in reply to a home paper: Eugene Register: "Republicans are those who believe in Republi can principles; Republican prin ciples are principles proclaimed by the Republican platform; tbe Re publican platform denounces Arte silver; therefore, advocates of tree silver cannot be Republicans, and yet they tenaciously cling to the name." To which the Journal replies: "Didn't the Oregon Republican platform of 1890 and the national p'aiform of 1892 and the "interna tional" platform of ISOb' enunciate the doctrine of the free coinage of both metals?"
