Congressman Towney, tot Minnesota, liat fr. nut sled a pln to Increaso tlie efficiency ol the public ecrvie. ami for that pnrpoo has introduced a lull in concrete. Il la proviled In his hill for Hit tetiremr-nt of superannuated nl disabled government officials ami the ereatluttot a fund for the retirement of tucb employees. That the governnunt withhold thre per cent ot their salaries t- lie deposited as a "civil service re tirement fund," nnd to be expended for the benefit of (he employes who shall he retired under the art, the government to pay four percent interest semi-annn illy on all moneys thus withheld. I'pnn re tirement from serviie or hy death the money is to bo restored to the emplojee or his legal representatives with aocra- nir interest. n This a paternalism that tu many eases would bt for the benefit of the employee, na it In a well known fact that many em ployes can not, or rather will not, cave a dollar of their earnings while in neaiiii and vigor of life. Too many employes art deficient in a knowledge ot economy or knowing will not practice economy and save his earnings by foregoing pres ent luxuries that he may enjoy bis earn ings in old age when unable to labor. . If tht act be properly guided by cau tious nroviaiona it will doubtless be a good thing. THE BOUNDING BILLOW. A friend on the U. S. s. retrel has ten' us a copy of "Ihe Bounding Billow" a paper "published at intervals" on board the C. S Flagship Oljmpia. Tht number before us was published just af ter ths great naval battle of Manila, and gives the best description of that battle we hare yet teen. Toe first page is dec orated with a beautiful colored engrav ing, with the inscription: "We Came! Wt Saw ! Wo Conquered '." "Twas for Cuba and her honor, To avenge our heroes elaio, That victory wreathed our banner, When we fouebt the ships of Spain," It gives a history of the fleet front the time it left Mirs Bay, China, until after the battle, which is described from the Bailors' point of view, by one who took part in that greatest of modern naval battles. Some pointed translations are made from the Diari ode Manila, a Span iah paper published at that time iu Ma nila. Here is a earn pie : "A soldier of the first U it'll ion of Caradorea gazed at the American equad ron sweeping over the waters out of reach of the fire of our batteries, looked out at the ships and then toward heaven, say ing, 'If Holy Mary would turn that wa ter to land, the Yankees wouid find out how wo can charge in double time And a 'crouching native staring out at the ships, said, 'Just let them come ashore and give us a whack at them." Again, 'In majestic crder, why should we deny this? the nice Yankee sliiis advanced in battle array. The Olympia, bearing the .Admiral's flag, led the column, followed by the other ships, steering at full speed toward Ca vite." "The Bounding Billow is edited by L S. Young and is quoted at "50 een per copy," and the fact that it.ii piinted on paper captured from the Staoiards after the battle makes it of greater value as a souvenir of the battle of Manila. The bill allowing $15,000 to the noima school at Ashland has pass:d the house. C. If. FlioD, Union county attorney, who was suspecdad by the Supreme court April 11 1338, for unprofessional conduct, has been readmits 1 to prac tice in the courts of Oregon. Aguinaldo and William Jennings Bryan are the champion long distance fighters of the age. Blanco is not "in it" with them, and their etore of ammu nition seems to be inexhaustible. Aguinaldo has the thirl time pro claimed the Philippine Republic, but his proclamations like vaccination some times appear to fail to take. He doubt lees believes in the old phrare, "The third time is the charm." Hon. Thos. II. Tongue is making earnest ell'orts to get tin hill pens'oning tht Indian War veterans of the Tacific northwest through the house. Speaker Iteed baring withdrawn his opposition, there is every reason to Lclieye that he will succeed. The bill has twice been passed by the senate. The situation at Manila is portentous of trouble. Germany and. Spain, it is feared, will acknowledge belligerent rights to the so-called Filipino republic. If they do it will greatly complicate our situation there. The warlike attitude of Aguinaldo excites alarm and it is feared ha will foice the issue and bring on a conflict with Amorican forces. The situ ation is a grave one. The death of many ot our hoys at Manila will lie at the door of the senator la Washington, who are retarding, by their useless speech-nuking, the ratifi cation of the treaty if peace. Because of the:r action Aguinaldo and his follow a aie assuming a hcl'ierent attitude Kaput, ili-il-lve work, such m Pews) Hare Ultra a aample ol, it always necw sary in til emergency, ami tucb tn emergent bow eilsta.

Uibson, of the weather bureau here, has handed us a partial report from .lames Berry, Chief of Mvision of Department of Agriculture, at Washing ton D. C, showing in part tht condition of the crops in Puerto Rico to .Ian. 1 3Jl. From this report we glean a few facta ol interest to our readers. Tht coffee crop harvested in leceraber it an average of four quintals per cnerela (400 lbs. per acte). iMigar cane.

J.Shiplev, the new commaudant of the Soldiers' Home at Koeeburg, has been for manv rears a resident of this city, and it well known tn urami Army circles. Ho was for aome years em ployed as bookkeeper by the Willamette Lutatfing Company, and has tht repu tation of a careful aeco-intant and an honest, capable busiuess man. Judging from the charges and counter-charges that hart been made, the troth of which it NiiLi impossible to ascertain, tne Soldiers' Homt is in need ol a com mandant possessing thtie qualities, and not only the friends ot Mr. Shipley, but the people of the entire state, may well hone that in his selection the services ol such a man art assureil. Oregonian. General Kagan, who has just beeu i! clared guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer, bv a Court martial, participated in the Modoc war as First Lieutenant of tht Twentieth Infantry. He was never acccaed of being guilty of cowardice. In one of the battles in the lava beds he went into action in full uniform, as a re sult of a dispute with his brother officers about the proper costume for an officer to wear when goiug into battle, F.agan claimicg that cowardice prevented them from wearing all the gu Jy trappings of war. His rash act made him a special mark for the Indians and he was soon carried back on a stretcher with a bul let hele through his leg. For this wound he was raised to the rank of captain. Once I was a young mn, now I am old, and I've never rcen a girl uufaith- ful to hermother that ever amounted to a one-eye button to her husband. It is the law of God. It isn't exactly in the bible, but it is written large and aw. ful in the miserable life of many a misfit home. I'm speaking for ths boys this time. If ever you come across a girl with a face full of roses who says as you come to the door, "I cannot go for thirty minutes, for the dishes are not washed" you sit right down on the door step and wait for her. Cause some other leilow may come along aud carry her off, and right there you have lost an angel. Wait for Lhat sirl and stick to I?r like a burr to a mule's tail. McMinnyille Transcript. We are in receipt of a copy of the con stitution and bylaws of the Oregon His torical Sxiety, an orgmizatiou which was formed on the 17th day of Decem ber, 189S, and its object being "to gath er up and preserve what yet remains of a once ich store of historical matter." The officers are: 1'reeident, H. W. Scott, vice preside!. , Judge C. B. Del linger; secretary, I'rof. F. G. Young; treasurer, L. B. Cox : the directors are Governor T. T. Geer, State Superintend antJ. II. Ackerman, Mrs. Harriet Mc Arthur, Mre. Maria L Myrick, Trof. J. R. Robertson and Prof. J. R. Wilson. This organization has long been needed and we are glad it has been effected. There is a rich store of material for his tory still remaining if it could only be preserved. This is a move in the right direction, and every old pioneer and every person interested in. the history of our state should help it along. The United Slates wants no colonial system. Our Washington fought against it. Let us if wj love our country oppose it. The above from the Albany Daily Democrat is simply nonsense. We pre sume that the Democrat man is not authorized to eay w hether or not the United States wants a colonial system, and the statement that our Washington fought against it is untrue. A colonial system for ths United States at that time had never been advocated, nor even thought of. Washington's rcllcy was, that we should keep ourselves free from entaugliug European alliances, and there was great need for that policy at that time, for an unfortunate alliance might have meant the death knell of the republic. Conditions have changed and the United States bat no need ol allianc es. We are able to say to the world, "This is our buHinees bands off." Tbe policy that was necessary for the pre servation of our institutions and our lib erty in our infancy should not necessar ily be followed by us since we have at tained national manhood. Tbe reasons for the policy no longer exist. How ever, we have followed that policy, and probably will continue to do so, not trout fear as of yore, but from a feeling of independence. We will let other nations alone, but if they get entangled iu our affairs we will give them a taste of the same medicine that Dewey gave the dons at Manila and Shatter at San tiago. Washington did not fight against a colonial system. He was a wise man, and a brave man, as well as a lover of liberty, and by lhat sign, if be were alive today doubtless he would support the president in tb policy t which the Americans nation hiii been committed. HUNDREDS OF BILLS Oregon Legislators Very Active In Proposing Laus. REGULAR VS. SPLCI VI SESSION. What Lach Has Accomplished Ways and Means Commltet Prepar ing to Report. Salic, Jan. 33. The clow ot the third week ot the legislative session shows what good reason the people had to bs grateful to the special session last fall for its economy in the introduction of bills. This session has now continued as long as that one lasted an 1 while there are many reasons why the work accomplish ed in the two similar periods is not sub ject to comparative nualysie, there are several features that cau tie compared, or contracted, with much lutereet. In the threo week last fall, 70 bills were introduced in the senate, and S.I iu the house, a total of Kit); iu the three weeks of this session VX bills have ap peared In the senate, aud 330 in the house; a total ot 5.'. The senate last fall passed 32 or its own bills and ' that came to it from the house; the house passed 4" of its bills and :U of those originating in the senate, though the nutnocr that wen t to the governor is not represented by these figures, becaoco of amendments frequently made iu the , , . , ., ,,. measure passed back to the first house for concurrence. So far this session, the senate has finally ' passed 34 of its bills, and nine of those originating in the bouse, and the bouse has passed 41 of itiown bills, aud six from the senate. Iu the eenate last fall but one hill was lost on a (quro rote, and that was sub sequently amended and passed. The house killed off 10 of its own bills. This month the senafe nitely killed any but the add two judges t has not deli house bill to the supreme court beuch, though provide that expert Ji'S?phi' I'iil to witnesses should practically be a part of tho trial court was indefinitely postponed on motion of its author. Four house bills and ono eon.ito bill have failed to pass the house, and two mora hous? bills have been indefinitely postponed there. The usual number of resolutions have appeared, consideration of some of which, notably thoso tombing tho matters of committee clerkships aud the segregation of appropriations, consumed a good deal of time. By far tho most important mu&sure acted npon at this session is tho apior tionment bill, which has passed both branches aud awaits only tho siguaturos of the presiding otlicerj before going to tbe governor. Josephi's bill to reform iho ay .item ol managing the insano aayluiu is another important measure, nnd it has jusscd the senate and been referred in the house. A great deal of intlueuce from bene ficiariee of an I sympathizers with the present system is being brought to bear against the bill iu the house, and it ii said they are reaching the executive of fice in the hope ot inducing the governor to veto the bill, if it shall reach him. Hill's bill to regulate pilotage on the on the Columbia aad Willamette rivers was one of the more important measures to pass the house. .WI-ROVEO BV UOVEKSOH.

Recommendation For Clemency Hade By the Court. Washington, Jan. 2S. General Kagan commissary-general of subsidence, has been found guilty of charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman, and of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline, and of the specifi cation thereto, and has been sentenced lo dioinirsil from tho 1'nitrd MuIch army, bu'. with a recommendation from the tourt for the eiercleo of eaecullte clemency. Under the regulation, tht court, having reached tht conclusion that the accused was guilty, had no choice In selecting tho penalty, tht re gulations prescribing absolutely that ont punialiinei.' dismissal lor tho offence. Therefore, tht only hope for General F.agan is In the direction ol commuta tion, mitigation or disapproval. Colo nel Uavla, judge ad vocatt of tht court martial, finished his revision of tht rec ord of tht court's proAiediug this after noon, aud at once placed tht papers in the hands ot Secretary Alger. Tills action settled at onct any doubt that may hare existed as to Ihe routine to bo pursued iu the treatment ol the case. As for Secretary Alger, as soon as ho has read the record, he will place it at once with tht president, who, under the law, is tht final rtviawing authority. It is his privilege to add to or takt from it the strength of the court's recommen dation that clemency l shown. Tht imlicitioni aro that the papera will he in tlui president's hand early next week. They Were Made One. Not more than a thousand utiles from Uosetmrg there is a justice ol the peace who i becoming a formidable rival to Ui pivaclu ra iu the mutter ot solemni sing immune. Too other day when his court was dceo in the intricacies of a law suit and the lawyers wero getting Ihe honest justice somewhat muddled up, the door owned and in came a young man and his best girl. One glance at the anx ious pair was enough to convince the practical justice what was wanted, so he dismissed court for a fe minutes, c eared a space in the center of the room I w . . . '. . and asked the parties to stand op. "Hold up your right hands," said tbe justice, and the parties obeyed, appear ing ready aud auxious to take the oath of allegiance, or receive the seutcuce, or whatever the learned justice had In store for them. "Wilt thou.' said ho addressing the young man, "take this woman to be thy huW wife, and love her and protect her uutil you die?" ' I will," sai I tho young man heroc ally. "Wilt thou ia'c Ihi mau lo bu thy holv husband, lovj and ober hnu as loiig as yi'U live'.'" No answer horn ihe ivluctaul bride. "Wilt thou'.'" demauled the justue in Btcin tones, and she wilted. "Yes." came tho response iu an almost inaudible whisper. " Then" coniinued the justice, "iu the name of tho father, s .in, ami holy ghost 1 ronounce you huiband aud wile, for ever uk re, world wittiout end, "amen. So bo it." Tno ceremony was over, and tho happy bride and groom departed, con scions of haviug the knot well tied The justice resumed his seat aud c.llod the court to order with a self satis fied ljok upon hiit face, and tho trial pro let dud without further interruption.
