THE CINCINNATI CONVENTION.
The Cincinnati convention of the farm
ers alliance to be held May 19th, prom
ises to be a large and enthusiastic gath
ering, and in being looked forward to
with a great deal of interest. Its chief
work will be the formation of a platform.
The Reform Journal of Portland says that
if there shall be those in that convention
who want a mild platform in order to
win in '92 they should be cooly be given
to understand that success at that time
is a secondary consideration. We want
to see a platform that is short and to the
point, something like the Omaha plat
form of the National Farmers' Alliance.

to the point, gives her impressions of the
McKinley bill in the following terse lan
guage: :
I am a democrat's wife, but 1 am sick
of seeingsueh lies as this' in newspapers
whose editors claim not to be fools. I
cut this paragraph out of the Chicago
Herald to-day :

ty if the McKinley bill had not become a law
she would keep it to herself. So doing she will
confer a great favor on President Harrison, who
thinks that ho may get another term in the
White House if people will auit makiug'"malevo
lent" remarks about the tariff: JV. Y. Time.
Now, don't this fool democrat who
edits the Herald know, or can t his wife
tell him, that everything a woman wears
costs less than it did before the McKin
ley bill passed? Calico is 4- cents a
yard ; a good Summer silk costs from 25
to 30 cents a yard. It used to cost fl.
Black silk can be bought for from' 60
cents to $1 that used to cost from $2 to
f3.50. Sugar costs 5 cents that used to
. cost 8 cents. Ribbons are .half the old
price, stockings the same, and i-seys,
'. since they are making them in this coun
try, cost half as much as the imported.

the Herald , liar stick to. men's things
when he lies and not try to lie about
women s things. i. yve won't stand it,
I'm a democratic, woman, but I don't

We women are not fools.
The treasury condition seems to be
simply this : There' " is on hand an ' act
ual cash balance of $12,000,000, and the
May receipts are estimated at $22,000,
000, making a total of $34,000,000. The
ordinary expenses for May are put down
at $21,000,000, and the June pension pay
ments, due on the 4th will ' amount to
$28,000,000 more, a total 61 " $49:000,000.
A simple example, in subtraction will
demonstrate that $34,000,000 will, not
pay $49,000,000 of indebtedness. There
. will be a shortage of $15,000,000, and of
course this will have to be raised some
how. The government has $25,000,000
deposited with the national banks and
$20,000,000 in fractional silver coin'. If

nutshell.
The Status of the Itata.
Horning Oregonian.
The escape of the insurgent Chilian
steamer Itata from . custody, with a
deputy United States marshal on board,
constitutes in itself a, very clear offense
against our government. International
law, the treaties of our government with
other nations, and the statutes made in
pursuance of those treaties forbid the
fitting out of a hostile expedition in ports
of the United States against any country
with which our own is at peace. In the
cases of the Mary N. Hogan and the E.
G. Irwin, seized at New York and Rich
mond several years ago, these vessels
were of American ownership, and fitted
out with arms and ammunition in the
ports of their origin- for the alleged pur
pose of making this country the basis of
a military expedition against Hayti, in
direct violation of the- neutrality laws.
But the Itata is a vessel of the South
American " Steamship company, of Val
paraiso, and was seized on the represen
tations and request of the Chilian min
ister, and certain suspicious circum
stances connecting . her with . the
schooner Robert and Minnie, an Ameri
can vessel owned in San Francisco,
charged with violating or intending to
violate our neutrality laws. The Chil
ian minister set forth that the Itata was
no longer in the possession of her former
owners, but had been seized by armed
insurgents and pressed into their ser
vice. Our government seized the Itata
and then sent an officer in search of the
Robert and Minnie, and proposed to
ascertain whether she did enter into an
arrangement to transfer her cargo to the
Jtata, and whether this constituted a
plot to violate our neutrality law. The
Robert and Minnie ran into Mexican
waters and the Itata escaped. As the
Itata had been seized by the United
States at San Diego, she was technically
United States property until discharged,
and is therefore liable to recapture on
the high seas by a United States vessel,
or to confiscation if she ever enters a
United States Dort. No charge of pir
acy is made against either the Itata or
the Robert and Minnie. They are only
charged with violation of the neutrality
laws, which forbid the fitting out in the
United States of vessels to war upon a
country with which the United States is
at peace.
The Country Safe.
St bonis Republic
Now "that there' is to be no war with
Italy it comes out in the New York Tri
bune that the big 110 ton guns,' with
which the Italian armored ships are
armed, are more dangerous to those who
firthem than to those they are fired at.
Naval officers, it is said, "are agreed
that they are a monstrous abortion."
They are said o have m fashion of' be
coming disabled after the third round is
fired. The shock and recoil damages the
ships that carry them, and numerous
serious accidents .have resulted from fir
ing them with reduced charges. 1 'This
makes it more than ever apparent that
as long aa we behave ourselves we have
no occasion to squander countless mil
lions on coast defenses. A foreign fleet
couldn't maintain itself long on our
coast for lack of coal, and they wouldn't
dare shoot off their big guns ' at long
range and high' elevation.',
On the 6th of Jane the - farmer's al
liance will form a state organization in
Oregon. On the. 8th a grand alliance
picnic will be held at-'. Athena. .' Presi
dent Polk of the National Alliance will
be present from Washington and Hon.
D. Cole from Kansas. They fill deliver
addresses.'
The alliance meeting held in Sah Fran
cisco was a gathering Satisfactory to all
concerned. Reports showed that twenty
nine counties are represented in the
state alliance, with about' 25,000 mem
bers. An active effort will be made to
extend the membership, and the outlook
is gratifying to the leaders. . .
New York is in the same boat', with
Oregon. The legislature adjourned with
out making ' an appropriation : for the
World's fair. The politicians are abso
lutely disgusted because the expected to
be delegated to spend the money.
That was a somewhat striking remark
of a Chicago grain gambler, who, in com
plaining ot the disappomtiug price of
wheat, said;. "Why, , it, the stuff
ought to be wortli that much to make
bread out of." . Yet a good many people
might have supposed that was what
wheat was raised for.

PUNISHMENT OF NAUGHTY BOYS.
The Rod to Ma Applied When Uecaaiea
Wurranl It ln'Kaclaod.
The careful student of our.' police report
must have noticed the increasing boldness,
not to say the Increnstng tfepravity Ml
what is called the Juvenile offender both
male and female. --When these interestUig
cadets of the criminal brigade take to
burning down honse, promoting explo
sions of gas, breaking street lamjw, steal
ing steHtn launches and committing "rob
bery under arms" on the queen's hijihway
they become something more than a nni
sance. Eveu if they stop short of dropping
bricks on the roofs of railway carriages or
practicing with a. revolverof heavy caliber .
in the back garden, they require to be sup
pressed with some severity."
At the same time there is no kind of
punishment which seems to be more care
fully graduated than that intended for the
young.
A useful little bill which "has been in
traduced by the home secretary is skill
fully devised, ns well for the benefit of the
youthful offenders as for that of the so
ciety which tbey infest. It should be pre
mised that the expression ''youthful of
fender" in the bill .means a boy or girl
under sixteen years of age. The measure,
so far as it affects boy offenders, is based
on the knowledge of the great 'law which
a famous schoolmaster threw into the
aphorism that the conscience of a lad is
lodged in the cuticle of his skin.
Mr. Matthews proposes to approach the
young offender's letter feeiinm that way
In other words, he will allow magistrates
to inflict the penalty of whipping where
"any youthful male offender'' or, to use
the language of ordinary life, any very
naughty boy "shall have committed any
offense punishable by the court." There
are due safeguards against excessive use of
the rod, since the boy is not to have more
than a dozen strokes if he is under twelve,
.or more than eighteen strokes if he is over
that age; and the governor of the prison,
or some other person having authority, is
to be present to see that the warden or
other minister of justice who wields the
birch does not "lay it on" with superfluous
energy.
Also, the boy's parent may be present if
he desires. No doubt he will usually de
sire to assist at the ceremony. Apart al
together from any - parental emotions
which may agitate his breast, he will have
a strong personal interest in the affair,
for the bill enacts that the court may fine
him any sum not exceeding one- pound,
and may also order him to compensate the
person or persons injured by the "juvenile
offender," whether boy or girl, to the ex
tent of five- pounds, always provided the
court is satisfied that there has been "neg
lect or default on the part of the parent''
in relation to that offender.
This is beginning at the right end, both
with the child and the father. The latter
Will have an additional inducement to look
after his child himself, and his objection-to
that kind of youthful exuberance which
culminates in damaging Other people's
property and: putting other1 people's lives
and limbs in danger' will- be intensified
when he recollects that he may b asked to
contribute toward the expenses of the
frolic.
Boys win j bora, but- they need- 'riot'-' be
young ruffians or savages. If 'they - show
any tendency to develop that way, a dozen
strokes with a tough and ' wiry birch , rod.

excellent: corrective. English public school

well enough. ; ' , , v '
They know that a flogging has a very
Impressive moral and physical effect on
any high spirited youngster, while leaving
him none the worse for it permanently,
and there can be no question that to give a
sound whipping to any lad not hopelessly
corrupted or depraved is very much better
than to infect him with the prison taint by
sending him to jail, or to break his spirit by
keeping him; for years in a reformatory.

The Suowy Owl. '
The long eared owl is resident hiding
closely in the forests, or, in company with
the short eared in the thick tnarshes.
- The barred owl was once abundant, but,
their immense size revealing them to tb
sportsman, year by year they gradually be
come rarer.
After a mild winter's day, aa the "even
ing shadows lengthen,"1 an' unusual sound
comes from' the leafless elms beside the
frozen river; a 'hollow, weird, unearthly
cry, proceeding only from the great showy
owl of the Arctics, whose largt? Bize and
snowy colors are well defined by the black
ness of the bare hills beyond. A guest pf
rare distinction, my admiration is tinged
with1 awe as I watch this ghostly sentinel
and wonder over those regions of cheerless
solitude far to the north, where it makes
its home. The ' shadows grow longer and
longer, the twilight comes," the evening
hastens, and still the vision lingers. When
the risen moon reveals at midnight the ap
paritioni white as the icebergs of its native
land, and the terrific voice increases a thou
sandfold the loneliness of the,, night, - I
draw my curtains and by my cheerful fire
forget the desolation. Exchange.
