All is not' lost, .anyhow. (lovernor
Chamberlain didn't' veto the Lewis and

that he will.be the successor of United

he is out of polities "for gfcod." Bryan,
no doubt, thinks'Jfor goojd" the proper
vay to express it.
' 'vVe believe the late senatorial contest
in Oregon will bear gooUruit. Here
after if a man is a candidate' Ac-will be,
.careful about denying it. V""
With so rrany candidates in the field
t all good, strong men, too he is a wise
one who can name the winner in the
coming First district Congressional con
vention. However. Hon. Binger Hei
m aim's chances do not seem to ho di

lion. Percy R. Kellev of Linn conntv
iifiaid to be a candidate for Congress.
. Mr. Kelley is very popular in his own
tounty and, if nominated, would un
doubtedly poll more than tne Kepub
licaa vote, and he good old French
name would appeal to the voters in
every part of the district. IIo iscer
lainly worthy of considerationbut
1 here ure others.
At the opening of the session in the
lower house of the Utah Legislature
, Monday tho good cliaphiu offered u
opecial prayer forthe Democratic min
ority. Strange as it may seem, the
Democratic minority didn't appreciate
i he supplication in its behalf, but
f piling a resolution providing for the
(Usfharge of the leverend gentleman,
from his ollloiul position. The resolu
tion, of course, was defeated. Here,
poihaps, is the secret of innumerable
Democratic reverses. The party loaders
lltink they arc wise enough to manipu
late the governmental machinery with
. out Divine guidafioo.
-Of all the many follies of humanity
probably none oquals the vice of pro
fanity as an utterly useless and inex
. citable habit. It is good reason for
Natiooul pride and congratulation that
we do not swear as much as we used to.
The fact that u man does not believo in
God. it such there be, does not justify
hm in ruthlessly (lesecratiinr that vhicii
his neighbor holds dear, especially
when the net is of no possible benelit
to himself and ouly stamps him as a
person of coarse and vulgar habit aud
as being regardless of the feelings of
.others. Astoria Astoilati.

CURING A BALKY HORSE.
Simple Method Muy D Employed
Without I'vIdk the Wliip.
An expert states that the vice of
talking in horses is almost invariably
caused by improper breaking and hati
dHig of the animal while young, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
It is only high strung and ill tem
pered horses thai balk, and these are
handled with more success by humor
ing and patience than by severe meas
ures, which generally make mntters
worse. It is almost impossible to fol
low rules in a cas.o of this sort. What
will succeed in one case is useless in
another, so that a driver must exer
cise good Jutlgment-"horse sense" In
handling a case.
A very cooil treatment is to watch
the animal closely in places where tt
would bo likely to balk, and with the
lirst tdga of stopping the driver should
nay "Whoa." then tret off nnrt
or pretend to change the harness in
some way; also take up a foot and tap
the shoe with a stone. Snon.i fnw
moments leisurely in this way, and in
nine cases out of ten the animal will
forget its -inclination to balk nnrt win
go on at tho lirst bidding. It is also
well to give a lumn of rul'.ip r .
handful of oats or on siwln. TWa wiu
always produce better results than se
vere measures.
