TO HAVE J It is not, we believe, generally known that the governor's veto of the district fair bill dt)es not affect the law already in existence making an appropriation of 1500 each for three district fairs, two in Eastern Oregon and one in Southern Oregon. These annual fairs which in eludes our own will be held as before and have the same appropriation. The bill that the governor vetoed was an amendment to the existing law. and made provision for four district fairs in stead of three two in Kastern Oregcn, one in Southern Oregon and one in Western Oregon, the latter intended to include all the counties not contiguous to Salem or Jacksonville. The amended law also provided that each district fair should have an appropriation of $3000 a year, instead of $1500 as under the old law. The amended bill was, we believe, the work of the zealous members of our own fair association and was in every respect a perfectly just and equitable measure. The amount asked . for each district was in no way excessive Farmers cannot be expected to bring their stock a distance of a hundred to a hundred and fifty miles for an exhibit, when even if assured of the highest premium such premium would not meet their necessary expenses. Besides dis trict fairs are right in principle when we take into consideration the immense size of the state and the impossibility of the greater portion of it availing itself of the privileges of the state fair. The annual fair held at Salem is, geographically, nothing but a district fair and such it must for ever remain. Yet the Salem v fair gets from the state funds a yearly appropriation of $50U0 and when other districts equally as large, relatively of as much importance and financially in more need ask the paltry sum of $3000 each the governor most in consistently and unjustly interposes with his veto. But this is not the worst of it, as far as the governor is concerned. His excellency, we are reliably informed, most emphatically promised that he would not veto the bill and then went clean back on his word and did it. Two members of the legislature and a gentle man, well known in this city, all of his own political persuasion, had the assur ance from his own lips. To the gentle man from The Dalles he said : "Go and telegraph to your friends its all right." and he did so. The next thing heard was that the governor had gone back on his word. The governor had played it fine, too. The bill had received such "large support that its friends have not Hie least doubt that had they known in time the governor's deception they could have passed it over his veto, Mentally he is singularly constructed, is the same governor. A $60,000 portage road was all right, although it must be frankly admitted that more than one half of the state will receive no direct benefit from it. A $90,000 dome on the capitol was all right, although no part of the state will ever receive any benefit from it at . all. Even the $5000 appro priation for the state fair, is we suppose all right, although three-fourths of the state gets no benefit from it, while a measure that would have benefited, and that equally, the whole state must be vetoed. The long and the short of it is we are going to ha' e a fair in spite of the Gov ernor, and the Chhokicle may be relied upon to do everything in its power to make it a sucess. A meeting of the fair commissioners will be held in this city on the 3d of April next to make all necessary arrangements, and when these are made due notice will be given. ' Meanwhile we ask the farmers for whose benefit the fair is gotten up and without whose aid it cannot be a sucess, to bear it in mind, while their crops and garden truck are growing during the coming season, we nave only to add tnat we hope the commissioners will have learn ed from past experience to fix the time for holding the fair, as far as human '" foresight can do so, when it will be most convenient for the farmers to attend, Walt Whitman is popularly represen ted as having no sense of humor. This is a mistake. The other day a senti mental young man dropped in upon bim at bis bumble home in (Jamden, JN. J. and, introducing himself as a poet, beg ged permission to read some of his vers es. "No, thank you," said the Good Gray Poet, "I have already been paraly zed twice." Ability involves responsibility, er, to its last particle, is duty. Pow It is with peculiar pride and we fear not a little vanity, that we receive from all parts of the county where the Chron icle circulates the repeated assurances of the approval of its readers as to the stand it has taken in its fearless present- tion of what it believes to be the truth. "It is the first time" they say that The Dalles has had a paper that '"was not afraid to tell what our representatives do at Salem." As- a consequence our subscription list is daily receiving so manv accessions that we believe not many months will elapse till we shall have the largest circulation of any paper in Eastern Oregon. It is a question if any other paper publishes east of the mountains is so carefully read as is ' the Chkoxicle. The man who does 'hot subscribe for it has to borrow it-from one who does. There is abundant-evid ence that its bitterest enemies are, its most careful readers. All this is very encouraging ; but we want more sub scribers and in return we promise that no expense of time or money will be spared to make it a paper that the people cannot do without. SHOULD BE REPRESENTED, The state board of agriculture has taken up the matter of raising $50,000 for proper representation of the state at the world's fair in 1893. There certainly should be public spirit enough in Oregon to raise tnat amount, it is Hardly enough, but beats nothing. The board has appointed a committee to attend to this important matter. The 'idea is to have five delegates from each county to meet in Portland June loth, to devise ways and means for raising the money, and how best to use it According to the countv assessment rolls, each connty would be taxed as follows : Multnomah $20,000 Curry 100 Columbia SOU CluMop 1,500 Tillamook 100 niarnatn mj Lake 200 Wasco 1,000 WaHhintrton 1,600 Sherman 200 Morrow ... 800 Umatilla... 2,000 Yamhill 1,800!

If the B., C. and L. B. organ will not inflict us with any such doggerel as it did this evening, we will wiiungiy euuecnue luwarua waning up the $125 a month salary of the defunct preacher. If this is a child of Gourlay's brain, it is a pity he ever quit farming and preaching.' For shame, Brother Michell ! One re tired minister should never thus speak of another. Come now, isn't this the case? You tried to be a preacher and couldn't. Gourlay could have been preacher and would n t. Then you see when your brains were all burned up in the fire that burned your manuscripts you couldn't make a lawyer, and "stickely lawyer, as the Scotch say, is poor material for an editor. So vou are i a failure all round. Hereafter in this state the term of office of county assessors will commence on the first Monday of March next fol lowing their election, so that assessors now in office will have nearly a year ad ded to their terms. The above paragraph has appeared in many of our exchanges. We may not understand it, but we rise to say that it has been both the law and the custom for years for assessors to commence their term of office on the first day of March next following their election. Every aBseseor now in office in the state com menced the term for which he was elect ed last June on the first day of this month. Where then does the "nearly a year added" come in? Will somebody rise and explain? There is surely a blunder somewhere. la IMsease a FnnUhmentT The following advertisement, published by a prominent western patent medicine house would indicate that they regard disease as a punishment for sin : LH you wish to know tne quickest way to cure a sever cold? We will tell you. To cure a cold qickly, it must be treated betore tne coid nas become set tled in the system. This can always be done if you choose to, as nature in her kindness to man gives timelv warning and plainly tells you in nature's way, that as a punishment for some indiscre tion, you are to be afflicted with a cold unless you choose to ward if on by prompt action. . The first symptoms of a cold, in most cases, is a dry, loud coueh and sneezing. The cough is soon followed by a profuse watery expectoration and the sneezing by a prosuse watery dis charge from tbe nose. In severe cases there is a thin white coating on tbe tongue. What to do? It is only necessary to take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in double doses every hour. That will greatly lessen the severity of the cold and in most cases will effectually counteract it, and cure what would have been a severe cold within one or two days time. Try it and be convinced."

One of the hobos who escaped from lail a few nights ago has written to bner iff Prince, expressing his profound grat itude for courtesies shown him during his incarceration. He declares that the food was satisfactory and the attendance exceptionally careful, and that on these accounts, and the high personal regard he bad tor all connected with the jail, he was sorry to take ".trench leave," but there was one thing neither ne nor his Dais could stand, and that was the loud, persistent and stentorian snore of the night guard. That was more than human patience could endure, and they concluded to sever the ties that bound them. Tdcoma Ledger. People's intentions can only be decid ed by their conduct. A 'Lsncshanmaa't Sftnaa tf Modesty. ' Yoa would hardly believe what silly ideas some rough, uneducated men have about propriety," said the nurse, as she smoothed eat the pillow, and rearranged the bed covers with a gentleness and a dexterity that recalled to the patient the ministering hand of a mother to her sick boy. "I recollect nursing -a big long shoreman when . I wad in the hospital, who had an idea of chivalry which, mis taken and nonsensical though it was, yet was refreshing in one of his class. He had been in some fight in a shop near the river, and had received a number of bad wounds. His antagonist had cat right for his heart, and had made three or four gaping slashes in his chest. ' "The injured man was one of the best built men I ever saw, and if his chest had not been padded with thick mus cles, he would have been murdered out right. As it was, he was in a critical condition, and only the best care and treatment could save his life. The sur geons dressed his wounds the first few days, and then turned the task over to me. I went np to the patient, whose name was Jackson, the next day, and began to lay back the covers of the bed. 'What are yoa doing?" he asked. " 'I am going to dress your wounds.' I answered. " 'Yon. a ladyf he said in astonish ment. " Of course; come, no nonsense,' I went on, for he had grasped the cover in his weak hands and was trying to pre vent my laying it back. I tried to argue with him, but he blushed and said dog gedly that he wouldn't let a lady dress his wounds. I told him he would die if he didn't let me take care of him, but he said he didn't care if he did, so I had to send for the surgeon. After several days the patient was persuaded to let me dress the wounds, but he turned crimson when he bared his chest for . me, al though he had to expose little more than a society woman does when she wears a ball gown. Well, the longshoreman got well, and since then I have been con vinced that the coarsest men are not without instincts of gentility." New York Tribune. Bad Tempors, There are some vices which what may be called a respectable ex terior; they succeed occasionally in bor rowing the garments of some neighbor ing virtue and passing themselves off as relations of his. Even when their char acter as faults cannot be denied, people are found to palliate them and minimize their evil tendency. Among such sins are envy, jealousy, pride and bad tern per. To say that such a one has rattier a hasty temper, or that he is difficult to get on with, or that he is too fond of having his own way, is hardly, in the opinion of many people, to say anything really to his discredit; yet, when we analyze that disposition of mind which is commonly called "bad temper" wo shall find that it is neither more nor less than the malignant desire of making other people suffer pain. Even in the case of a "hot" or hasty temper, this is true. No one would use angry words to another if he did not mean that they should wound, and intend to relieve b's angry feelings by the suffering they may cause. Chambers Journal. Tlis First Idea of Perpetual Matfoa. Honecourt. a Flemish architect of the thirteenth century, left a drawing of a wheel that was to solve the problem of perpetual motion with this memoran dum: "Many a tune have skillful work men tried to contrive a wheel that shall torn of itself. Here is a way to make such a one, by an uneven number of mallets or by quicksilver. " But unfort unately he did not leave the wheel. From ma tame eo seekers after perpet ual motion have been nnmeroos, many of them supposed to be very respectable and iaieangeut men. Among the receiv- i of eighty -six English and twenty times Fsencfa patents taken act for per petoal motions between 1860 and 1809 were a colonial bishop, a professor of philosophy, one of languages, two bar ons, a Knight Templar, a doctor of med idne, two civil engineers, several me chanical engineers, etc Chicago Her ald.

"Poor old woman!" broke out Cariyle, suddenly. The company looked astound ed, bat it soon transpired that the refer ence was not strictly personal. The sage was merely apostrophizing the moon, and condoling with her upon the scene of folly she was doomed to look down upon on every hand except, per haps, a t Chelsea.
