Tlie Turks have a very effective way of
crushing a revolt. One of these oc
cnrrnl a short time ago at Yainen, a
province of Arabia, when the Turkish
commander put off fourteen camel loads
of the heads of the rebel chieftains and
at the head of the procession marched
in triumph into the capital city of the
province.
The following sound adyice to the
Farmers' Alliance is given by the Port
land World: "Let the rallying cry of
the alliance be, hands off. Give us an
open field and a fair fight, and we can
take care of ourselves. Abolish all dis
crimination in favor of the rich; put
them on their mussel as we are, and the
farmer can protect himself."
The United States treasury has just
issued a new two-dollar treasury note
which is believed to be the most beauti
ful piece of paper money ever yet pro
duced he the department. The late Sec
retary Windom'8 portrait occupies' a
central position and two stripes of silk
fibre run across the paper on which the
various designs are printed. Superin
tendent of Engraving Casilear considers
this his chief d'eeuvre and gleefully de
fies the counterfeiters to immitate it
with success.
-Commenting on an article in the Sep
tember number of the Forum written by
Henry Cabot Lodge, in which the opin
ion is expressed that the free coinage of
silver will be the leading issue in the
next presidential campaign, the Spokane
Jiecu.xc says : "If tho republican party
will accept the issue boldly and adopt
the platform in favor not of 'free and un
limited coinage, but of the coinage of
American silver only, carefully exclud
ing the vast surplus carefully hoarded
up' by other nations, it will sweep the
con ti try and the standard bearer, who
ever he may be will be sent to the White
House with a majority never equaled."
If the rumor that the control of the
Union Pacific has passed into the hands
of the Vanderbilts should prove to be
true the people of Eastern Oregon will
have the satisfaction of the assurance
that the new , management cannot pos
sibly be worse than the old and will in
all probability be much better. One
thing is certain the Vanderbilts know
how to run railroads so as to make them
pay. If they get control of the Union
Pacific the road will be conducted on
business principles, and this means bet
ter service to its patrons and not neces
sarily higher rates. If the Vanderbilts
get control, the principle of saving at
the spigot while wasting at the bung
will be abandoned.
The Salem Journal is indignant be
cause certain papers in the state are con
tinuously casting reflections on tlje rail
road commissions. The Journal claims
the commission has done its duty fear
lessly in the matter of reducing freights.
The new law governing the conduct of
the commission was framed by Speaker
Geer and is modeled in its main feature
after the Iowa law and now that the rail
roads have refused to obey the mandate
of the com mission, the attorney general
will investigate the adjudications upon
that law which were carried on in . the
federal courts of Iowa and which the
Journal claims were sustained a every
contested point. If this is true the re
sponsibility of enforcing the law will
now lie with the courts of this state.
U. S. BOODLERS ECLIPSED.
Recent revelations in Canada make it
evident that the politicians over that way
are no slouches in the boodling business.
Now that the story is told it would ap
pear that nothing has ever equaled
it in the United States with perhaps the
single:-exception of the doings of the
Tweed ring in New York. . Of contracts
aggregating three million dollars nearly
one million was paid as a result of false
measurements. ..The settlement of the
estate of the late' premier, Sir John
McDonald, has revealed the fact that he
was the nominal owner, in the names of
other parties, of large blocks of
the subsidized Canadian stock, while the
discovery has been made that a member
of parliament voted on the proposition
to pay himself the. sum of $84,000 on
account of an alleged intercolonial con"
tract, and that the motion for the pay
ment of this sum was made at the in
stance of no less a personage than Sir
Charles Tupper himself. The boodlers
over this way will have to take a tumble
to themselves, else their erstwhile glory
will be fairly eclipsed by their Canadian
fellow craftsmen.

FIX TO BE A -WITNESS.
Judge Braham Catches a Real Tartar on
the Stand.
From the Atlanta Constitution.
The other day Judge Branham of
Rome, was attending Superior court at
Cedartown. One of the lawyers was ex
amining a witness who was not the
brightest individual in the world. The
question arose as to whether the witness
was competent to testify. So the lawyer
thought he would make a test. . He
looked at the man. '
"Who made you?" ' '
"Moses," answered the witness.
This satisfied the lawyer as to the in
competency of the witness,' and he so
argued.
.Then the witness turned 'to Judge
Janes and asked : '- -
"Judge, may I ask the lawyer a ques
tion?" "Certainly," said Judge Janes.
"Well, Mr. Lawyer, who made you?"
The lawyer thought he would still
further test the witness' competency and
promptly answered :
"Aaron made me."
The witness was delighted with the
answer' and, pointing his finger at the
lawyer, drawled out :
"Well, I've read that Aaron once made
a calf, but I didn't never expect to see
hit a practicing at law in this - vere
court?"
The lawyer blushed, the conrt laughed
and the question of competency of the
witness was affirmatively settled.
The Lion Dog "Saxon." '
Boone and Charlotta the world-famed
lion tamers, who exhibit their lions lib
erated and unmuzzled in the circus ring,
are assisted in their performance by a
magnificent German hunting hound,
which answers to the name of "Saxon.',
The dog was presented to Col. Boone by
Count Bismarck. These dogs are known
in Germany as the "boar hound," and
are used in hunting the wild boar, and
it is only dogs of this breed that will not
run from a lion. Saxon accompanies
the lions throughout their entire per
formance. He is to the lions what the
shepherd's dog is to the flock he urges
them on, stands guard over them and is
ever ready to do his master's bidding.
He is utterly fearless and to see this in
telligent dog running after the lions,
barking at them, nipping at their heels,
and assisting them in their different acts
is delightful. Said Col. Boone, "I would
not take a thousand times his weight in
gold for this noble dog." Boone and his
lions will be here with Adam Fore-
pangh's show on Wednesday, September
16. There will be no night show, but
only one afternoon exhibition.
Another Stage Robbery.
The stage that runs between John Day
City and Long Creek was held tip last
Thursday at the edge of Fox valley on
the head of Beach Creek. The robber,
mounted on a sorrel horse rode up be
hind the stage and leveling his Winches
ter at the driver, ordered him' to throw
out the mail sack which the driver ac
cordingly did, and having secured the
sack the robber rode off on a dead run,
in an easterlv direction. The thief wore
mask and is described as a man of
middle size, weighing about 150 pounds.
When the driver arrived at the next
station several men armed themselves
and started in hot pursuit but were un
able to overtake him. They however,
found the mail sack about a quarter of a
mile from where the robberv occurred
It had been cut open and rifled of the
registered" packages while the -letters
were unmolested, save a fewv that had
the corners torn off. The postmaster at
John Day says there were two registered
letters in the sack but it is not known
how much money they contained. There
is no clue to the perpetrator of the rob
bery.
