On Saturday the American Federa tion of Labor at a meeting held in Boston appropriated $1000 to aid the Colorado striking coal miners. WHY SHOULD THE GOVERNOR ABUSE HIMSELF. "Why should nnyouo abuse Governor Chamberlain for insisting that the mem bers of the legislature should not at tempt other legislations if called togeth er in special session, than to correct the mistake of the last session in regard to the tax law? Tho.-e members who claim other measures which they hao up their slecvos should be passed must have a faint remombrance that they were un able to pass them in a forty-day session. Do they want to take advantage of a ten-day rush f-ession to get pot meas ures that had no chance of passage when the niombers had time to examine into their merits, passed into law? It looks that wav." Spainards, Mexicans, Americans or Englishmen on the North American ontinent. The case of the State vs the 0. R. & N. company on the docket at The Dalles circuit court has been contin ued to the February term. The suit was for the right of way for the Portage raliroad. The above is taken from the Eu gene Guard and the Plaindealek asks: Why should Governor Chamberlain as a dictator and tyrant ask the members of the Legislature to give a rjledcre that thev will violate the Constitutional Law of Oregon? And again we ask the questionis not Governor Chamberlain a politicalmont bank or fool when he asks the mem bers of the Legislature to set aside the following constitutional law of the State in order that ho may be a demagogue?

Work was resumed eral mines this morning. Many hitherto unknown sayings of Jesus Christ havo been discovered in jrvnfc bv archeolonists. who v.o dug up papyri buried since the sec tury, 100 miles south of Chi .Jernard P. Grenfel, who h;is framed in Ecvptian oxcavatu since 1S94, at the general me t uig of the Egypt exploration fund here, yes terday gave the following details: Vccompanied by Dr. Hunt, Dr. Grenfel found a rich Ptoleniam ne- croDolis at El Hibeh. The bulk of i the documents from the one mound consisted of a collection of sayings of Jesus. They are all introduc . with the words, "Jesus saith," and for the most part are new. The enU of the lines, unfortunately, are oft eh obliter ated. Apparently all the siyings were addressed to St. Thorn:- One of the most remarkablo is: Let not him that seekcth cease from his search until he finds, and when he finds he shall wonder; wondering he shall reach the king dom, i. e., the Kingdom of Heaven, and when he reaches the kingdom he shall have rest." Dr. Grenfel remarket! that enor mous interest would bo also arouse: by the discoveries on account of the variations they disclosed from ac cepted texts. One variant of the mystical saying recorded in St. Luke, "The kingdom of God is within you,' was of great value, as the saying in the papyrus appeared in quite differ ent surroundings from those attri buted to it by the evangelist and ex tended far into another region. According to Dr. Grenfel, these sayings formed the new gospel which is traditionally associated with St. Thomas. An interesting variation of the Gospel according to St. Luke, 11th chapter and 52d verso ("Woe unto you, lawyers, for yo ha e taken away the key of knowledge; e; that were entering in yo hindered"), reads in tho papyrus, "Yo havo hidden the key of knowledge; yo entered not yourselves and to them that were en tering in yo did not open." Another fragment contained a dis course ol Uinst closely related to passages of tho sermon on the Mount, uul a conversation between Christ . : i i - , . and his disciples, in which chnst JUiy .B. fc. wuouy' or 01 BPeaKinK answers a question as to when his kingdom will be realized, sayinir: When yo return to the state of in nocence which existed before tho fall. A valuable find was made in papyri, written in Latin, giving opinonated to suitthe owners. The Pladtdealep. is actually sorry for Governor Chamberlain and sorry for the state of Oregon, that a man in such an exalted position should for a little political notoriety expose him self to ridicule and the State of Ore gon also at the same time.

TO KILL CANNIBALS. The Butte Labor unions where leaders were invited by President Roosevelt to meet and dine with him in Washington have broken out in yellow spots caused by jealousy. The trip was to have been made last week but the socialist wing declares that those who were to go are "self ap pointed leaders." The trip has been deferred to this week and more trouble to the labor ranks is looked for. Now that the Russian bear has his paws securely on Manchuria he has turned his attention to Thibet.

At Colfax, 111., on Saturday a mob of several hundred men, women and children organized and proceeded to a building just erected by F. D.

Threats had been made by the temperance ele ment, but the contractor employed a large force of carpenters and planned to resist any attack. They were out numbered, however. Warrants have been sworn out and the trial is set for next Wednesday.

His little form was laid into its last rest ing place, by the side of two of his grandparents, in tho Cleveland ceme tery, on October S, 1903. At ono o'clock the Rev. S. A.

"Jesus, Lover of my Soul," and "Near er, my God, to Thee" were sung in the church ; at the grave, "L Shall Know Him," "Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me," and "No, Not One." We cannot understand why Clarence, so young, innocent and lightheartcd, with such bright prospects for a useful manhood, should bo stricken by death in tho early Spring of life.
