Ireland with a short potato crop is in destitu tion. Kansas which depends entirely on corn and wheat is an oft time sufferer from drouth, the loss of the crops mean ing destitution. Eastern Oregon while being a great wheat country has never known but one great crop failure, that of 1889, yet although some sections did not .raise seed no suffering followed. The reason is that besides her agricultural pursuits she has a large stock industry. The much legislated about wool came to the relief of the farmer, and brought a round million of dollars into the neigh Iwrhood. Following this barren year to the farmers, came the most destructive "winter to the stock, especially the sheep interests, the country ever knew a quar ter of a million sheep dying in the coun try tributary to The Dalles, yet no suffering followed because the farmers had good crops, and their wheat brought money into the country for I1. The moral is plain, and that country which depends entirely upon one industry, in the natural course of events must have jeriods of want and destitution. PERSONAL MENTION ONLY. It is rumored on the coast that the president is thinking seriously of ap pointing a California man secretary of the treasury, and that John E.- Swift will probably be the man, as the presi dent has a very warm regard for him. It is needless to add that it is an idle ru mor, and that Mr. Swift as well as Mr. Failing must be satisfied with the un satisfying honor of "personal mention." We have never yet had a president who relized that the Pacific coast amounted to anything, or who recognized it as be ing entitled to representation in the cabinet, with the sole exception of Grant and he had lived here. It is strange that in the modern days of quick travel that none of our presidents, except Ctrant has ever visited the Pacific coast eitner before or after their election. AVe should make this a test matter in the next election and any candidate for pres ident who has not developed energy enough to visit the Pacific coast, should rje snowed under. .me legislature nas put eleven more days to sit; and draw pay, and it is not at all likely that the time will be exten ueu. xnia means mat every moment must be utilized if really meritorious bills are to receive attention. The assessmeut law and the Australian ballot law are most important general matters and both of these are creating considera ble dissension. Of the bills more of the local character the portage railroad at the locks, the district fair bill, the militia pin, and the wagon road bills lead in mporiance. uf course there will be stacks of bills that will not be considered that ought not to have been introduced and these do not matter. Steady work by the legislature in a line with the party plat forms will enable it to "clear its docket" in good shape, but we much doubt the steady work being done. The extent of the coal.discovery on the Deschutes is not yet known, but it is a hopeful sign that coal of a good quality has been found there. When it is taken into consideration that the Fossil coal is of excellent quality and the field is ar extensive one, the find on the Deschutes is of considerable importance. Should it prove extensive the future of The Dalles would be hard to predict. With . cheap and abundant fuel within twenty miles, combined with her commanding position as a natural trade center The Dalles would soon outstrip all her rivals and become the Pittsburg of the Pacific coast. That the country southeast of us carries considerable . coal cannot be doubted, and its discovery and develop ment should be prosecuted without de lay. The Idaho legislature is trying to elect a fourth Unjted States senator , and it looks now as if Claggett would be elected, and the settling of the dispute as to whether he or Dubois is the legally elected senator would be left to the senate. Claggett is a man as far superior in ability to Dubois as Dubois is to a Digger and it is really to be hoped that he may win. . He was crowded out by doubtful methods at the election in December, but has developed strength enough since to re-open the fight and make it ex tremely tropical for one of the gentlemen who made the combine against him.

In one of the wards of the Baby's Hos pital at 657 Lexington avenue, a babv. born prematurely, is thriving in an in cubator. The expectation is that the child will emerge from the incubator in about two weeks about as well equipped to enter upon the struggle for existence as is the ordinary weeklv infant The incubator is a box about three feet long and 18 inches wide. There is a shelf in the box which serves as the founda tion for the thick bed of soft cotton upon 1- - 1- J1 .!! 1 1 - - . 1 1 wmcu uiejcuuu lies, oyer me oox is placed a glass cover, one end of which is slightly raised by a bit of wood for the purpose of giving ventilation. The heat is supplied through a tin tube about three inches in diameter and is obtained from kerosene lamps which are kept burning day and night, regulated is to the amount of flame by thermoneters in side the incubator. The intention is to keep the temperature inside the incuba tor at about 92 degrees. Stretching, twisting, rolling and squirming, the in fant, whose life the hospital people have unuertaicen to save, is passiner comforta bly through the period of incubation. and while at first sight at .him one is somewhat shocked at his meagreness ana skinmness, he gradually Grazes at him contentedly, impressed and reassur- ed by the history of his case as related by the hospital physician and his nurse. tal d! J.ne little boy was born about two months in advance of the proper time, ana nis mother aiea just as he e came in to the world. Had he at once been placed in an incubator there would have been no doubt but that he would do well. But a friend of the boy's mother under took to bring him up, and kept him in her care for four weeks. When she turn ed him over to the Babies Hospital he weighed but three pounds and was terribly emaciated. It was decided at once that there was but one way to save the little fellow's life and that was to Eut him into an incubator. The boy as steadily improved. He takes his milk 12 times a day, part of it from the bottle and part from the breast, and he enjoys every mouthful. When he came to the hospital he had practically but one lung, the other had collapsed." To day the collapsed lung has become ser viceable again. It seems almost too much to believe, but there is a piobability that the help less, pitiable atom in the box may de velop into a strong, handsome man. The nurse says that her chargi day be "the President of ;e may some the United states. The Farmer's Earnest Prayer. From the New York Evening Sun. "The funniest thinerleverlisronel t " said the oldest parson in the group, "was the prayer of a sly old farmer in my first congregation, a hard-headed, hard-fisted fellow, with a strone senne of fi The old man was a mad free trader, and it happened that congress had just passed some highly protective measure, which had brought down the heaviest dis pleasure of this man. Very soon after the passage of the bill the M. f!. fnr district returned to his home i n nnr town for a few days and came to prayer meeting, as he alwavs did. OIH h a front.

But he got un after whiio and began to Drav. He rravrl fnr tha church and for foreign missions, and for the president of the United States, and then he gathered himself together for a last effort. 'And now, Oh Lord, we beseech Thee.' he said then he hai. tated 'we would not put too hard a task even for Omnipotence, but we do beseech xnee, u inou canst, put a little common sense into the heads of some of our legis lators." Anaj tne little rustle and ripple of amusement that came to his ears as he sat down brought a glow of proud grati fication to his face that all the consola tions of religion had never produced." ' The Union Pacific management have held now hold the opinion that The Dalles was unduly prejudiced against them to the extent that they could not get justice in this county. They should recollect that while we complain of un just treatment at their hands, that their business before the courts is another matter. As a matter of fact not one fourth of the jury panel is drawn from The Dalles, and it is an easy matter for the company to get a jury from the country at large if they so desire. We do not believe there is a citizen of The Dalles who would allow his personal feelings toward the company, if he' had any to influence his verdict as a jury man. We have too high a regard for fair play to allow our disputes over railroad charges to lead us into being guilty of tnat discrimination against which we have been protesting. On Hand. r. M.

When the wedding service of the Church of. England was adopted for use in this country the adoring sentiment in the above line was dropped out of it, the Protestant Episcopal church retaining the word "obey" in the woman's vow. Now, it is easy to see that there was no great risk in the promise to obey a man who had just pledged himself to "en dow" his wife "with all" his "wordly goods," and also to worship her. The attitude of possessing all that the poor fellow owned, and of having him be sides in the attitude of "adoration," might be supposed to be fully the equiv alent and balance to the word "obey." As it now stands the promise to obey is only balanced by the equally neglected promise, to give the wife all that the man owns. '. Neither is carried out, although the last one is frequently made sound, for the first time, by the husband's last will and testament. If be does not live up to his bridal promises he frequently dies down to them. Taken as traditions that convey the sentiment of an entire onion of interests, obligations and desires, the whole service should be . restored, if poetry is to rule. Taken as the common sense contract solemnized in the midst of the most sacred surroundings, the word "obey" ought to go out promptly, since the correspondingly worshipful words of the old service were dropped but long ago. Philadelphia Ledger. Discontent Among Railroad Clerks. A. railroad clerk m this city writes: Will yon oblige many railroad clerks by saying inai we are the most dissatisfied " uimmessr .a. raiiroaa cierK is seldom advanced on account of merit I know many who have been at the same desks and for the same salary for years and years, and they are acknowledged to be valuable and competent. The men under whom they work are not to blame because they are not advanced. The fault is at the fountain head. The di rectors of most companies live in the east and in London and other European cities. Whenever one of those directors has a Bon or nephew, or the son or nephew of sumo iimueutiai mend, ne sends him out west to take a position in the office of the company of which he is a director, and the young man gets a fat place. Please understand that we do not blame the young man. As a rule he is a gen tlemanly fellow and does his. work to the best of his ability, and some of them have done well. But it is poor encour agement to an old timer to see this prin ciple in vogue. I do not believe it pre vails in any other line of business. Chi cago Tribune. A Mouse in a Surplice. We have heard of a "bee in a bonnet" and a "flea in a man's ear," but never until a few days since of a "mouse in a surplice." It happened, however, that on a Sunday morning, when a par sonic visitor was unearthing from the parish chest a spare surplice, there fell out from its folds a nest containinsr sev eral brown mice. Anent the church tr ty ing mouse a capital story is told. A cer tain venerable dignitary, remarkable for a profusion of white hair, was one day leaving his cathedral when he thought he felt something moving under his hat. This creature he endeavored to capture, uui m vain, un arriving home, how ever, it was discovered that a small mouse had taken up its abode in the ca nonical hair. Possibly this little creat ure was deputed by a chapter of cathe dral mice to plead before the benignant canon their proverbial poverty. He, they thought, being a large hearted man, might take their case into consideration. Pall Mall Gazette. About Writing One's Name. People who sigh their letters with wild flourishes, or initials only, and give no address, offer one of the worst of compliments to their correspondent by egotistically assuming that their hand writing must be of such familiar impor tance to him, or that they and their affairs are so present to his mind that further identification is unnecessary. Having their signature cut from the end of a letter, and the address from its heading pasted on the envelope which incloses a reply, is a bad compliment which many persons bring upon them selves by an unpardonable illegibility. It is a singular fact the accidental mis spelling or mispronunciation of one's name generally constitutes a greater anroni ana is provocative of more an noyance than a studied insult All the Year Round.
