OUll COUNTRY.
We mo protected bv the sou from
war without (and by a Bpirit of jas-
tico and mngnamimity from jingoism
and standing armies. Onr political
heritage is not fonnd in declarations
and bills of right, bnt in the breasts
of tho people May it there remain
untarnished until they disappear be
neath tho cloud of history. Today
our boast is that we have committed
our country to the hazard of univer
sal (suffrage. Whether or not wo aro
to preserve our commonwealth do
ponds on the new generation. The
right use of the right of suffrage, up
on "which so much depends, rests up
on the education of tho people. IV
it 1 a - I
uicai eaucauon is ot tnree Kinas;
mat wnicn comes as a legacy oi tne
. ... i
past, tho natural adaption to the set-
uemeni ot political questions, which
is
one heritage from our freedom-
oving fathers; secondly, the goueral
education of the common schools.
They who founded onr government
understood the necessity of enlight
meut, and today free education is
one of onr inherited rights; thirdly,
collegiate edncation. Tho last is as
essential as the other two. The pnb-
ic school is good, bnt it does not
supply that edncation requisite to
the settlement of the great questions
which aro constantly engaging onr
attention. All questions in onr coun
try must be settled by public discus
sion. Wo can, therefore, only sur
vive when oar people aro bo educated
that they prefer sonud roasuns to
false, and facts to fictions. Politics
is a duty of life, from which you can
not escape, so is leadership in politics
amy wuicu iaiis upon mo one
qualified to assume that position.
There is no hope for wide, conserva
tive, honest leadership unless one 13
wise enough to stand by his couyic-
lions, being willing if need be, to
8acritico life uud famo for a true
political idea. No man need fear the
result if he has faith in popular gov
ernment Oflice and honors may not
at once bo awarded, spoils of victory
may not fall with every effort, bnt
the consciousness of doty dono is
ever present, and high rewards will
uenajjy come in lima
The argentine republic is rapidly
becoming the great rival of the
United States in the production of
wheat. In 1802 Argentine exported
omy 0,500,000 bushela of wheat, bnt
in 18I wheat exports amounted to
24,000.000 bushels. The cheap labor
of that country enables tho farmer to
sell at a low fignra and then realize
a small profit. Precisely what effect
tho wheat supply from Argentine is
going to havo upon the future price
of that cereal cannot be foretold, bnt
mai it will be considerable is evi
dent. Our farmers will have to
adopt economical methods, thorough
cultivation, and closo application to
the details of their farmiog opera
tions to compote with them in tho
wheat markets of the world.
Some of the state papers are ask
ing that the edition of ''ltesources of
Oregon," authorized by tho late legis

by the secretary of state. Effort has
been made by the state board of im
migration and other persons to in-
lluenco him, but he is reported to
have said that "Oregon has people
enough now." Oregonian.
Having settled her domestic affairs,
Chili again starts upon a career of

west co&st of South America, and she
seems to havo uational vigor onough

Art of Training Animals.
Animal training 13 an art based on
definite rules, which vary but hltloin
their application to the tusticts of the
different pupils, and the demands made
upon (he teachers aro sometimes even
more exacting than those wherebv the
college professor leads his charges. The
teacher is not a creator of system to
6tart from, but tho philosophy is purely
experimental, aud after observing the
regularity with which the animals follow
the same habits, lie bases his method of
training them on these lines. Whatever
the auimal he wishes to train, the teacher
begins by watching it closely, eudeavor
iug to discover not only tho useful habits
of the race, but the I'orsoual disposition
ot tho individual iu iiuuution. One
specimen raises itself naturally upon his
bind legs, another is liorn with a talent
for jumping. Aud so on docs Ihu appli
cation apply to each case. Observe tho
application of these principles by the
trainers with the Gre.it Wallace Shows.

HE SAW LINCOLN SHOT.
Captain Silas Owen's Experience in
Ford's Theater.
For 30 years Captain Silas Owen has
carried in a little envelope, securely
hidden in his pocket book, a square
piece of cardboard, on which are these
words :
: FORD'S. :
FRIDAY. :
: Orchestra.
: Section B. ;
: Scat 173. :
It Is the coupon of the ticket which
Captain Owen used at Ford's Theater on
tho night that Lincoln was murdered
The captain was thea the commanding
officer of the United States ship Prim
rose, and he and his master's mate, Wil
liam R. Flood, hadgono to the theater
especially because It was understood that
that the president would be present, and
Owen had taken seats that would be
directly in the line of vision with the
presidential box. He cherishes the me
mento warmly, and frequently talks to
his friends about that awfnl and impress
ive incident. He is a trustee of Round
Lake, and in one of his recent official
visits here he gave an interesting remin
iscenee of it.
"Flood, " said he, "was the first wan
to reach the president's side, an I was
the second. The firing of the shot
hardly gave us any idea of the awfnl
deed that it indicated. Booth clambered
down the side of the box and crossed the
stage, and even then we could compre
hend nothing of the nature of the catas
tophe, until Mrs. Lincoln leaned over the
edge of the box, wringing her hands, and
with a face of terror and amazement that
will never be erased from my memory,
called aloud, 'They have shot pa.' I re
member the homely phrasing so well.
"That was enough. Flood was out of
his seat as if he had been shot from a
mortar. He jumped over the head of
'.he leader and climbed into the box be
fore the rest or the audience seemed yet
to comprehend it. To shoot the presi
dent seemed, even in all the horrors of
the long war, to be yet something too
incredible.
"I followed Flood and was second at
the side of tho dying man. Flood found
him still sitting in his chair, but with
his head resting on hii breast, and be
gently lowered him to the floor. There
was no sign of any wound and no flow of
blood and we believed that there was no
disaster until while Flood held his head
in his lap he felt the soft trickling of
matter. It was not blood. He showed
it to me and we knew that the dreadful
deed was complete. It was the pure
white matter ot the brain.

this is so it is a mistake, for Mrs. Keene
was not at the president's side that night,
to my knowledge. The blood was shed
most likely by Booth's knife, or the

the stage and with a flourish of his dig

matter of fact he did not stride majesti
cally at all. He pulled one foot after
the other very slowly, lor he had fallen
as he jumped, bis foot being caught in
the folds of the American flag which en-
veloped the lower edge of the stage, and
sprained Ins ankle, and bis stnne was a
most painful process. At the side of the
stage, just between the curtain, which
was down, and the edge of the prosce
nium box, stood Mrs. Keene, who had
been there some time. She was! not in
front receiving the applause of a recall,
as has also been stated, not was Harry
Hawk with her. Booth dragged himself
up to her and she seemed to compre

happened, for she put her hands out
towaid him and said, "What have you
done, John?" He.then made a thrust at
her with his dagger and seemed to rip
the sleeve of her dress, and he probably
wounded her in the arm, for it was a sav
age blow. It was then that he uttered
the cry, "Sic Semper Tyrannis" that
incredible parody and mockery of the
noble Roman's utterance.

Those who saw the light say that the
elephants charged at each other like

Duuk knocked his adversary down sev

gained a decisive advantage in the

the mad elephant was secured with
