THE CANDIDATES FOR NOMI NATION. The eight gentlemen who have con sented to allow their names to be used as candidates for city offices need no words of commendation from the Chron icle. The record of every man of them is thoroughly clean and ' above the breath of suspicion and reproach. It is the very recrudescence of a miserable and pevish factionalism that would in sinuate otherwise. The head of the ticket would confer more honor on the city by accepting its mayorship than he would receive by being elected. The names of R. V. Gibons, Paul Krefi, Chas. E. Haight and II. C. Nielsen are the names of clean, honorable and respectable citizens who would be an honor to any ticket. There is no better young man in The Dalles for steadiness, sobriety and industry than Frank Mene fee and the writer has known him from boyhood. We have no citizens more re spected and honored for their enterprise and devotion to the best interests of The Dalles than those of Orion Kineraly and Max Vogt. These names may not all be approved by the primary tonight but the citizens will have hard work making . a better selection. THAT STAR CHAMBER. Any thirty-three citizens or any three citizens, for that matter, had a perfect right to petition or request a number of other citizens to allow their n imes to be used as candidates for office in the com .'ing city election. The action of three men would, of course, be in no way binding on anybody. A request to allow one's name to be used as a candi date is not a nomination and so far as we know, the meeting of the thirty -three, never by any public act said it was such. By what authority does the editor of the Times-Mountaineer call the meeting of the "33" a "private primary" and talk about "star chamber" meeting? The same party who signed the petition have secured the circuit court room of the county court house for a public pri mary tonight, and will submit the names they have chosen for approval or rejec tion. A "star chamber" composed of thirty-three of our best citizens is just as likely to select good candidates as one composed of the mayor and his stool pigeon the editor of the Timex-Moun-taineer. A CORRECTION. When Mr. Michell says that the Rev. J. A. Orchard and C. F. Hobart are not residents of this city he, on the one hand, comes as near the truth as is cus tomary with him and on the other is contemptable disingenuous. Mr. Or chard has had his home exclusively in this city for more than two years and is a larger tax-payer than the "enterpris ing" citizen who returns $3000 worth of property and offsets it with $3,200 worth of debts. . Besides Mr. Orchard is not the pastor of the Eight Mile church or of any church. He is simply an evangel- ist, with The Dalles as the head-quarters for himself and family. Mr. Michell has discovered that one C. F. Hobart lives at Starbuck, Wash. It is quite likely that he does, but the Mr. Hobart whose name was on the original petition was, as Mr. Michell doubtless well knows, C. C. Hobart of this city, and .the mistake in the middle letter was made by the copyist. FREE COINAGE IS CLASS LEGIS LATION. We cannot for the life of us under stand how it is that those who cry loud est against class legislation should be the foremost in demanding free coinage of silver. , To us free coinage means nothing less than a scheme by which a silver miner can take 76 cents worth of silver to the United States mint and get a dollar for it. In that case the miner would make 24 cents and the govern ment lost that amount. To as this is Bimply robbing the government for the benefit of the silver ring. The existing law is better. The government buys monthly in open market, at its market value, what, practically, amounts to all the silver the country produces, coins 76 cents worth of it into a dollar and pock ets the difference. No one ought to ob ject to this for the profit of the govern ment is something in which we ail have a share. Under existing conditions a free coinage law is as if congress should enact that the government should pay the farmer a dollar a bushel for his wheat and foot the loss between that price and its real market value. It would, of course be a fine arrangement for the farmer but no honest farmer wants such a law. It would be class legislation which is another name for legalized rob bery. Why then should the people de mand such a law for the silver miner? If we must have free coinage let it be a hundred cents worth of silver coined in to a dollar. Then the miner gets all his silver is worth and nobody is the loser. But if this is impracticable, surely it is our highest wisdom to so limit the coin age of the 76 cent dollar thai it shall not drive out of circulation, which it inevit ably would, the 100 cent dollar and leave us with a single silver coin currency. Practically it is of no moment what a dollar has made, whether of paper, gold or silver, so long as it is an honest dollar, and a 76 cent dollar is asmuch of a swindle as a 26 inch yard stick, even if the silver barons, under a free coinage law, should get a thousand, governments stamps on every one of them. Baby is sick. The woeful expression of a Des Moines teamster's countenance showed his deep anxiety was not entire ly without cause, when he inquired of a druggist of the same city what was best to give a baby for a cold"? It was not ne cessary for him to say more, his counte nance showed that the pet of the family, if not the idol of his life was in distress. "We give our baby Chamberlain's Cough Remedy," was the druggist's answer. "I don't like to give the baby such strong medicine," said the teamster. You know John Oleson, of the Watters-Talbot Print ing Co., don't you? inquired the drug gist. "His baby, when eighteen months old, got hold of a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and drank the whole of it. Of course it made the baby vomit very freely but did not injure it in the least, and what is more, it cured the ba by's cold. The teamster already knew the value of the Remedy, having used it himselt, and was now satisfied that there was no danger in giving it even to a baby. For sale by Snipes & Kinersly. Mr. V. H.

He wants it known. Mr. J. H. Straub, a well known German citizen of Fort Madison, Iowa, was terribly afflicted with inflammatory rheumatism when Mr. J. F. Salmon, a prominent druggist there, advised him to use Chamberlain's Pain Balm. One bottle of it cured him. His case was a very severe one. . He suf fered a" great deal and now wants others similarly afflicted to know what cured him. 50 cent bottles for sale by Snipes Kinersly. A shoe-fastener company has failed.

CITY MARSHAL , "Spit!-" a Neighbor- i" The workmen employed at one of the chair making works in an English town were .cutting -np a large cherry tree at the cironlar saw bench when something quirted in the sawyer's face, and ran over the bench in all directions. - The engine was stopped, and an examination showed that the saw had struck a cavity in the tree and liberated a considerable quantity of quicksilver, afterward esti mated as half a gill. The log was care fully examined, and it was found that many years previously a hole had been bored in a slanting downward direction through the heart of the tree, the quick silver poured in and the hole carefully plugged. The rings of the tree showed that it was ninety years old, and that after the hole had been plugged the growth had covered the head of the plug with several inches of solid wood. As it was known the tree came out of an old cherry orchard at Allerton, York shire, where yearly "a cherry feast" used to be held, it was thought the quicksilver had been put in the tree in connection with some old ceremony, but later it was found that np to thirty or forty years ago quicksilver was thus em ployed to kill fruit or other trees by . those who had "grudges" against their neighbors. ' It was usual to do this in the dead of night. A piece of bark was first carefully taken off. the hole bored, quicksilver poured in, the hole plugged, and last the bit of bark was carefully replaced.' The tree from the next rising of the sap began to wither. In the present case the attempt was a fail ure, for except where the quicksilver had lain (it had not penetrated some inches beyond the end of the boring) the tree was sound. Notes and Queries. Hoptoo's Compromise. Near a town in ' the southern part of Georgia lived Mr. Branscombe, a wealthy fruit grower, who was em broiled in a perpetual feud with a poor trucker named Hopton. The feud was based on Hopton's hog, which committed havoc in Branscombe's garden, and Branscombe finally shot the animal. War was at once declared by Hopton, not against Branscombe personally, but against all his belongings. He tore down fences, wrung 'the necks of chickens, smeared Branscombe's front steps with paint, and continued this petty persecu tion until the fruit grower was exasper ated beyond endurance. He set a watch on Hopton, and finally caught him in the act of pouring turpen tine' into the pump. The next day Branscombe swore out a " warrant for Hopton's arrest . for malicious mischief, and it was served that afternoon. - .'Hopton resisted violently, but finally calmed down, and while on his way to the office of the justice of the peace ex pressed a wish to see Mr. Branscombe and "settle the whole affair." The con stable was an obliging fellow, and ac ceded to this request. "Runnel." said Hopton, when .brought before Branscombe, "let's compromise this matter." " "Very well," assented Branscombe readily "During the past six months you have committed damages to the ex tent of $300. What is your proposition?" "It's this, kunnel," drawled Hopton. You drop this prosecuting me, and 111 let ye off." Youth's Companion. The Origin of "Grog. Until the time of Admiral Vernon the British sailors had their allowance of brandy or rum served out to them un mixed with water. This plan was found to be attended with inconvenience on some occasions on account of a shortage in the brandy locker, and the admiral, therefore, ordered that in the fleet he commanded the spirits should be mixed with water before being passed around among the men. This innovation at first gave great offense to the hardy sailors, who had been used to taking their drinks "raw," the result being that Vernon be came very unpopular with his men. To add to his unpopularity the ad miral, who was conscious of the .im mense responsibility that rested upon him, became morose and gloomy, often walking the decks for hours without speaking or looking either to the right or the left. In these taciturn moods he al ways wore . an immense grogham coat thrown loosely over his shoulders; this resulted in the sailors nicknaming him "Old Grog," and the term soon came to be applied to the weak mixture stinting ly given out to the men, who had for merly looked for a regular allowance of "pure stuff." "Grog" became quite pop ular after a time, but not until the origi nal mixer of the formula had "gone to his reward." St. Louis Republic. Her Lovely Lettooe Dish. . I want," she said hesitatingly, as she poised her basket in front of her. pretty chin with a thoughtful air. "to get some lettuce.", , "Yes m," said the market man; "here's some; very nice it is too." "Is it all that color?" "Wby-er-yes'm; all lettuce is green you know." "Oh, of course; but it's too bad. I got a lovely blue dish to put lettuce in, but rm sore green would look horrible in it. 1 never thought about there not being any shades, you know." ' And as she turned away the market man was almost sure he saw a tear of disappointment in her eye. Washington Post , A Horse with Eight Feet. There is a horse on James McCloud's farm in South Dakota which has. eight feet, otherwise it is perfectly formed in every respect. Not until the fetlock joint is reached in the descent from the shoulder to the foot is there any differ ence between this horse and any other. At the pastern joint, however, the branch begins, and two perfectly formed hoofs are found on each of the four legs. St Louis Republic. A Psjodoi.
