THE GOOD OF NEWSPAPERS. Therw is not another power in the wido domain of human institutions that exercises as potent an influence for good as does the local newspaper. A newspaper is the life of society. It is the means of unifying all the latent forces in the social compact. It focalizes every impulse and every effort. It intensifies every move mfint in the march of nrocress. It is the watch dog that guards every interest and warns the slothful of impending danger. It is the barom eter of social chanires. It is tho thermometer that marks tho temper ature of social life. It is the snn that warms into life and causes to grow the innate germs of native in telligence. It furnishes the mental food that invigorates the mind and gives it force and directs its energies. This is not an oxagerated picture. It is but an epitome of the incalcul able power of the local newspaper. In its columns converge the rays of intelligence radiating from the mind's ripest fruit, its richest thouehts. This being tne case (which is admitted by all well in formed persons), how important it is that the local papers, in torn, be well patronized by those who havo the interest of themselves and of those around them at heart. And yet, with all these benefits growing out of the local paper, it is the most m eagerly supported of any business, considering the capital invested and the daily expenses of carrying it on, of any other enter prise engaged in. Other business enterprise?, when timea aro dull, can curtail expenses by discharging help and a large amount of other inciden tal expenses. Not so in the news paper business. It costs as much to get out an edition of a paper when times aro dull as it doeswhen times are good. The same amount of paper, ink, and help is required m dull times as in good times. The public is resly under great ob ligations to liberally support their local paper for the good it is doing them, both as a public and a private. benefactor. Suspend the local paper of any town six months and that town would become a business and moral graveyard. PARTY MEASURES. Tlie prune growers of Qoroii will be intended to learn thul under tho Gorman tariff np to January 31, 1895, tho imports of foreign prunes nt New York amounted to 9,318,417 pounds ascompared witn 5,172.220 pound imported during tho correspond ing five months a year earlier. Tariff reform has taken away a mar ket for 4,200.000 pounds of Oregon prunes in tivo months. This is not a theory; it is a condition shown from custom house import returns. Tho American consul-general at Frankfort-on-tho-Main reports the exports from his district to the United States in the lost quarter of 1892 at SS.774,070 against $5,520,9S5 in the same period of 1893. Twenty-six lawyers have been engaged in the James case. Of course, lawyers want his money, but his money now go after all his troubles. already G. Fair do not will In the third congressional dis trict of Michigan, Moore, republican for supreme justice, is elected by 1000 majority over Ladd, candidate of four other parties. The Japs again successful, as they generally aro they have taken sev eral important posts. Gen. Nadzu is a Japanese Grant. At Bridgeport, Conn, tho demo crats made a clean sweep in tho city election last Monday. Take care of Ameiican industries, and the money question will take care of itself. In the municipal elections in Ohio Monday, the republicans made heavy gains. No ono is as far from market he who has nothing to sell. as Oar populist friends often cry out with unction of soul: The repnbli cans are as bad as democrats." They would have one believe that they, -honest jakes, are the salt of ttm po litical body politic Now we will not charge populists with being as bad as democrats or any other party. We believo that as individauls, their members are as good a set of men as those who com pose the democratic party, or, for the sake of argument, we will allow that they are as good as republicans. What of that? It is one of the frailties of human naturo to ascribe to the members of a party, all the imperfection of the party measures to which others belong. The Plictdealzc admits there are good men and bad men in all par ties. The Plaisd ejllxk will pot for a moment contend that every plank in the republican platform is per fectly sound. Bnt compared with those of all others the primary and paramount measures of the republi can party, the PuLrsuziixB claims. nas been ana is yet tne best as a whole. The republican party is for protection to American labor, Ameri can products, American manufac tures, Americanlcitizecs everymhere, the American flag and a system of sound money which is the life-blood of the nation. The laws enacted by the republi can party on the subject of revenue has kept the treasury np to and aoove expenses, ana graanauy re duced the national debt It has kept gold, silver and government paper interchangeable, dollar for dollar, on so equable a basis that even the democrats have not dared to materially alter it. Ev'ery dollar of paper and silver is equal in its purchasing power with gold. What better do yon populists want? Can you better it? The Plarcdealxb thinks not. NOTICE TO STOCKHOLDERS.

From the flat at 2004 Washington avenne, at 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon was held the funeral of Dr. William Hotchkiss, alleged to have been 140 years old. Dr. Hctchkiss wife died about sixteen years ago, and his only daughter, Margaret Hotchkiss, dis appeared in February, 18S6. With the demite of Hotchkiss on Wednesday morning the Ino of one of the strangest men that ever lived came to a close. Dr. J. A. Buck, living on Finney avenue, who was one o! Lis warmest friends, says that his Masonic record has been traced back 100 years, showing conclu sively that be was at least 121 years old, as he could not become a Mason under age. He had a special antipathy to good ciotnes, and-iR said to nave not tasen a bath for twehty-five years. The wheat growers of the West conld hare obtained higher prices for the prodncts of their farms if the general business of the country had not sustained so severe a shock, eo serious a depression from the demo cratic raids and assaults npon the prosperity of American industries, Too many or them voled to turn cut the republicans 'and pnt in demo crats, and 35 and 40 cent wheat have been among the most conspicnons and lamentable results of their votes. iney win vote ior a cnango again in 189C, a change that will give con trol of the government to republicans and thns'bring a retnrn of prosper ity. The president has pardoned John Hopkins of Utah, sentenced to jai three months and a fine of $500, for unlawful cohabitation. Concerning Kissing. Th2 reason kissing is so pleasant, says an osculatory expert of scientific tendtn cies. is because the teeth, jaw bones and lips are full of nerves, and when the lips of persons meet an electric current is generated. Yonkers Gazette. Yes, and it is so confounded cheap. You don't have a dynamo machine, nor a battery in the bouse nor a call box, nor a button to touch to ring np the central office, and there is no patent on it, and the poorest person in the world can en jov the electric current better than the millionaire, and it never gets out of or' der. If Edison had invented kissing it would have coet $ 100 a year, like the tele phone, and then extra kissing would be charged up extra, and if you didn't pay for it tbey would take out your kissa phone and disconncet you from the cen tral oflice. Washington Star. Resolution Adopted at the Meeting Last Saturday. Pursuant to a call from Chairman II. M. Martin, the Peoples' Party County Central Ocmmilto met at the Grange hall in this city April Ctb. The meeting was called to ordsr by Chairman Martin at 10:30 a. m. On motion W. T.

On motion a committee ot live was ap pointed, to draft icaoluliors, which brought in Ina following report: Whereas, The last republican legisla ture of the etate ot Oregon having been pledged to the strictest economy in their etate and county platforms, flag rantly violated their pledges, by squand ering the peoples' money in useless com missions and clerk hire, and by not re- enacting the mortgage tax law and in debtednesi clause; therefore be it Retched, That we, the central com mittee of tho peoples party, hereby call noon the neonlo of Douclas county to forsake all past party differences and form a union at tne ballot box of all the reform forces of the county, believing that when corporato wealth, money greed, liquor domination and industrial slavery are bringing to our people pov erty, degradation, immorality and crime, it is Lima for all true lorers of liberty to drop at once and forever their little dif ferences and stand together for the com mon cood. as one political party of the people, for the people and by tho people, and furthermore we re-affirm our allegt ance to tho whole Omaha platform.

On motion the committee adjourned to meet tho first Saturday in Juno. tho honor of the flag they loved aud the nation they revered. So one by one they pass away. Only a few years more and theso old soldiers will all be numbered among those that wcro and aro not. But this patriotic host will live in history and their names go echoing down the ages to remotest time. The burial of G. M. Brown is the fourth that has occurred since tho open ing of this Home last May. To Protect Americans. Wasiiisctox, April 5.
