Hermann which appeared in the Oregon
ian.oi last Friday, wherein that gentle
man, in answer to thequestion, "Is there
any truth in the alleged agreement be
tween you and Harry Miller, whereby
you draw out of the race in his favor?"
and Mr. Hermann is reported to have
answeied, "It may become improper for
me to decline the nomination, if thought

out eqnarely and says: "Mr. Hermann
did certainly state to H. B. Miller prior
to the nomination of 1890, that if his
friends came to his rescue at that time
he would not dsk their support again,
but at the end of his next term would
step down and out. This pledge," con
tinues the Tidings, "is in a letter over
the congressman's own signature, and
the statement in the press recently, that
Mr. Hermann would not be a candidate
for renoiniiiation was made, therefore,
upon authority which ought to be con
sidered good that of Mr. Hermann him
self." The Tidings has not a word to
say against Mr. Hermann, but that -pa
per seems desirous of getting him out of
the way to make room for Harry Miller,
and from what the Ciiuoxici.k knows of
both of these gentlemen it seriously
question's the wisdom of the Tidings'
choice. However, as Mr. Hermann him
self says, it will be time enough to pass
judgment upon this subject when the
nominating convention meets. Mean
while it is interesting to note that the
only opposition to Hermann's renomi
riation that we hear of comes from re
publican papers, and these chiefly of his
own neighborhood. In marked contrast
with their evident desire to shelve Her
mann for some other man is the lan
guage of the West Side, a democratic

paper puousnea at independence, Polk
county. The editor of that journal takes
occasion to say, "If a republican is to be
elected from the first district to the next
congi-e.-s, Binger Hermann is the man.
When we were in Washington City in
1890, we found tlmt Mr. Hermann
wielded an influence in behalf of this
tate second to no men that ever repre
sented us since Gen. Joe Lane and Col.
Nesmith represented Oregon. To set
Herman aside for men who are aspiring
to his piace is simply political meanness.
AVe have not seen a name yet suggested
w ho is his equal in arjy particular, or
who can do for the state of Oregon as
much good as he." . And referring to the
statement in the. Salem Journal (which
has been attacking Hermann) that that
paper ''does not joiu in the democratic,
attacks on Hermann," the West Hide in
dignantly asks, "Please tell us by whom
4iiiy democratic attack has been made
on Hermann? None has been made.

The Dalles Times-Mountaineer is not
satisfied with the governor's and state

not Michell inspect the road? He writes
as if he knew all about building portage
railroads.

"Lucky" Baldwin, the multi-millionaire
miner and horseman of California,
has just purchased in Chicago furniture
for his three big hotels- one at Santa
Anita, another in Eldoraro county, but
the largest, a $3,000,000 structure, in
San Francisco.
Shibata Zeshin,'the greatest worker in
Japanese lacquer ever known, has just
died at the age of eighty-three. His
work first attracted attention in 184-1.
It was a votive tablet in the shrine of
the village of Oji, near Tokid, where it
still is. Zeshin began to paint fans, and
worked up to within five days of his
death.
Rev. Dr. Barchard, who died Friday
afternoon, issaid to have declared, while
exhorting at a revival meeting in Pough
keepsie fifty years ago, that he had huge
carbuncles on his knees, caused by the
hours he had spent on his knees praying
for theconversion of sinners After that
he went by the title of ."Carbuncle

Professor Franz Bruennon, the astron
omer, who died a short time ago in
Heldsburg, was well known in America,
as he was the occupant of the chair of
astronomy in Ann Arbor for many years.
He left America to accept the director
ship of the observatory in Dublin. Bru
ennon's most important work is his
"Textlxjok of Spherical Astronomy."
Thomas Bailey Aldrich, the famous
Boston poet, has just returned from a
journey to Europe. He is a rather short,
thickset man, with a leonine head, cov
ered with short, curly locks, and hand
some face with regular features and a
sensitive mouth, which is not concealed
by the brownish-gray moustache. Even
those passers-bv who did not know that
the man was Thomas Bailey Aldrich
could not fail to be struck by the dignity
of his carriage and by the refinement
and strength of his face.
James Whitcoinb Riley denies that he
is col'aborating an opera with Sir Arthur

perfecting, as best I could, thiough con

masters, stage-forme, . methods, etc.

unworthy it.may prove, will, as origi

Hitcterlu Killed by ClectrieUv,
The disease producing bacteria may
be killed by a current of, electricity, as
has been shown by experiments with
bottles of water containing them. By
passing the current from a battery
through a loop of wire suspended in the
water it was found that a small voltage
was sufficient to deprive the most active
bacteria of
life. The consnmnrinn Va
j eilius died under two and a Quarter
volts, while other more hardy species
could not survive more than three volts
and a half. . -Unfortunately,
this electrical method
would be too expensive and troublesome
for the householder to pursue.
It is sag-
gested, therefore, that cities or water
companies shall perform the entire task,
delivering the water to consumers in a
condition guaranteed harmless. Accord
ing to the plan proposed the killing of
the microbe is to be accomplished at the
reservoir. Nothing could be easier than
to apply the energy of a battery by a
current at one place in the supply pipes
as to kill with absolute certainty every
microbe that passed through in the flow
ing water.
A dynamo with a capacity of 1,000
volts would do the work perfectly for
the biggest possible pipe, slaying all the
bacteria going through and rendering
innocuous all the millions of gallons
daily that a metropolis consumes. All
that is necessary is that a length of the
pipe shall be made of insulated material,
and through holes in its sides will be in
serted wires representing the poles of the
battery positive on one side and nega
tive on the other. Set the dynamo going,
and the current springs through the wa
ter, ' filling it with powerful electric
waves necessarily fatal to all living or
ganisms floating in the" stream. New
York Telegram.
A Poor Alan on Tax Days.
City Counselor Will C. Marshall had
a big case just before he went into his
office, and while it was pending he had
to present a heavy bond for his client to
the court. The client broutrht him a
friend, who told Marshall he was worth j
$100,000 in unincumbered real estate. ;
At the proper time Marshall brought !
him before the court and rut him on
the stand.
"How much are you worth?" he asked
him. The bondsman hesitated and began
to wriggle uneasily in his chair. "Oh,
well, you're worth $100,000 in real estate,
I suppose." said Marshall.
"Good gracious, no! Not half of
that," exclaimed the witness. "I guess
I am worth about $20,000." '
Marshall was astonished beyond meas
ure, and had to ask the indulgence of the
court while he sought another bonds
man. - Meeting hisman outside the court
room afterward, ho asked him warmly
-what he meant by such contradictory
statements.
"I am worth $100,000," said the man
cooly, "but you don't suppose I'm fool
enough to declare it in court? ' I've been
reporting $30,000 to the assessor straight
along, and they'd be after me If or back
taxes if I told how much I was worth on
the stand. I didn't know you was going
to put me on the stand or I should have
warned you." St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Clim.a.te ana Morals.
The world is tolerably well mapped
out as to diseases. The colored charts
show us whfere we may most probably
dwell with malaria, with consumption
or with general debility. We study,
also, the adaptability of plants to differ
ent climatic conditions. But our knowl
edge of the relation of man to climate is
Still far from scientific that is to say,
of the influence of climate upon charac
ter and conduct To come to a detail,
what, for instance, do we know of the
effect of climate upon veracity. There
are portions of the earth's surface where
the inhabitants regard truth as a luxury
seldom to be indulged in; in others the
mind seems rather inclined to truthfulness.
Whether the difference is owing to Sight and Telegraphic Exchange sold ou
race or climate our observations do not; New York, San Francisco and Port
yet enable us to determine. There is a j - land,
popular notion that the habit of prevari-! - "
cation goes along with warmth, or with ! -a
debilitating atmosphere, and that cold j directors.
is a tonic, a sort of stimulant for truth-1
f ulness. We indeed have in the vhrase I
"the cold truth" a recognition of this, l
We say that the northern latitudes nurse
the rugged virtue of veracity. Charles

The Secret or Good Mountain Climbing.
The secret of the climbing of the hunt
ers is that they trust their feet as much
as their hands. To plant their nailed
shoe is all they ask in any place. They
go steadily, but slowly, and rest often,
so as to avoid climbing when exhausted
or breathless. A tired or winded man
will tumble, slip and be in danger where
he would pass easily when fresh. The
apprentice in this particular hunt found
the greatest difficulty in crossing a chaos.
A chaos is . a steep slope covered with
blocks of stone ranging from a hundred
pounds to many tons.
" There are ugly holes, big and little,
between them. ' Their edges are gener
ally sharp. To the rapid passer, as he
looks down at his feet, they appear,
without exception, very sharp. In addi
tion, some of them are "wobblers." The
duffer passed several unpleasant quarters
of an hour in f olio wine the brjcter. ex-!
cited by the proximity of game, over
these places, and will always carry on
Jhis leg a souvenir of one of them. PanK
