It is passing strange what Journal istic acumen some newspaper men are mumkhI of. The oress of Oregon is presided over by some of the most Tersatile men, whose versatality sup plants brain and good Judgment The different views on the Indictment of Senator Mitchell, entertained by these would be editors, are sufficient to drive a polecat Into convulsions. One of the most ludriclous statements published is that the Indictment of Senator Mitchell and Congressmen Williamson and Hermann will have a tendency to keep people away from the Lewis and j Clark fair. This statement, we are informed, eminated from an Astoria paper. In order to dissaprove this assertion and quiet the fears of the infantile journalist. It is only necessary to point to the great success of the St Louis fair. For a year prior to the opening of the gates the grand Juries, both fed eral and state, were constantly occupied indicting members of the legislature for accepting dough from an alum bak ing powder company, and nearly every one in the legislature, except the chap lain and pages were Indicted for com plicity in the scandal A large num ber of them were convicted and are today serving terms . In the peniten tiary. Others were fined and a few relegated into oblivion. This was the principal reason for republican victory in Missouri last Novmber when Roose velt carried the state. The' democratic majority was In the penitentiary and the republicans had a walkover. But this did not injure the fair. In fact it was one of the principal draw ing cards. Thousands of people went to St Louis as much to see an honest prosecuting attorney, as they did to see the foreign exmoiis. in xaci me exhibition of an honest attorney elicit ed more admiration than did the liberal arts building. Not only was it an at traction to the fair, but the gate re ceipts were swelled to such propor tions that the commissioners were able to reimburse the United States for the temporary loan, besides providing a small dividend for the stockholders. If a building could be erected for indicted timber land fraud conspira tors. In the shape of a "Tannery," with the Inscription over the door, "Burn This," it would be an attraction that even men of limited means would be willing to travel thousands of miles to -see. It would be an advertising scheme that would cause British domination of their country Is concerned, and will soon practically all have moved away and left the land to the conqueror, will strike the sym pathetic thinker as a story of a na lion's fate sadder than the exile of the Acadians. The Pretoria dispatch In question says most of the remaining Boers In the Transvaal are shortly to begin a grand trek across the land of veldt and kopje to find asylum in German East Africa. The commission sent by the recent Boer convention at Pretoria to view the grassy uplands between Mounts Kilimanjaro and Meru has returned and, formally1 reported them admirably adapted to cattle grating and agriculture. The new country, which is practically terra In cognito to white eyes, contains be tween 50,000 and 60,000 square miles, or from 32.000.000 to 38.000,000 acres. This will give the herdkeeplng burgh era with their patriarchal habits plenty of room and solitude, and it Is understood that Emperor William of Germany, whose famous telegram to Paul Kruger indicated that he took a lively interest In these admirable Dutch folk is making special effort hundreds of Boer families have emi grated to the United States Mexico. South America and other parts of the world. No doubt the decimated and impov erished Boers would be happier where they can lead their old Ilge out of sight of the hated British gold hunt er and Tommy Atkins, too, but they will not be happy long in German Africa If the new land they move upon hides In its arid breast the gold and diamonds that proved the curse of their old home and brought to pass the distraction of the Transvaal re public. The Germans are quite so lustful of gold and diamonds as the British, and onec let them find them and there will be an end of the Boer dream of peace. The departure of the Boers from the Transvaal and Orange river colonies will leave the new governmental own ers free to work out their plans un hampered by a disloyal and unassiml latlve element of population, and Eng land will be able to reimburse her self many times over for the treasure spent In conquering the Boer patriots in arms. England has her booty in the shape of the rich mines of the Rand, and "he will work every vein to ex haustion. But the moral of it all Is full of un speakable pathos. Some day the muse of history will brush away a tear to write the tragic story of the dead South African republic If Clio feels what she writes. Memorial to the Russian Government Asking that Corky Be Restored to Liberty for Future Glory of His Profession. New York, Feb. 15.

It Is the rarest thing In the world for a man to be necessarily bald. No man whose hair la not dead at the roots, need be bald If he will use Newbro's Herpl clde, the new scalp antiseptic. Herpi clde destroys the germ that cuts the hair off at the root; and cleans the scalp of dandruff and leaves It In a perfectly healthy condition. Mr. Mannett In the Maryland Block, Butte, Mont, was en tirely bald. In less than a month Herpl clde had removed the enemies of hair growth, and nature did its work by cov ering his head with thick hair an Inch Icng, and in six weeks he had a normal suit of hair.
