The silver men have eight or ten peti
tions in circulation on the democratic
side of the house urging that the silver
bill be made a special continuing order,
and they have secured about 100 signers.
There are doubts entertained as to the
-expediency of the movement, 'but the
silver men mostly believe it may ad
vance the consideration of the bill, and
are doing what they can do to bring the
matter to an issue early in the session.
The anti-silver men are urging delay,
and yorking to that cud in the hope
that there may be developements which
will aid their cause and enable them to
find some way out of the difficult-. The
free-coinage men are in favor of speedy
action,. and say that on political grounds
alone, aside from monetary principles,
the sooner the issue in met the better.
The rules committee has - not yet taken
up the subject. The people's party in
the house have joined with the free
coinage people in demanding' prompt
consideration of the Bland bill.
The democratic members of the ' ways
and means committee held an&ttier con
ference vesterday on the Springer wool
bill, but, like the previous conference
ended without an agreement being
. reached. Members of the committee
now in the city are nearly evenly' di
vided on the question as to whether or
nor there should be a further reduction
made in. the duties than that proposed
by the special committee. The arrival
of Shively, of Indiana, is awaited.
Members of the committee believe then
a conclusion will be speedily arrived at,
, as the views of Whiting, the only other
absent member, are known.
The Portland Telegram, commenting
upon the statement that a portage road
at The Dalles, on the Oregon side,
"would benefit the town of The , Dalles
only," very significantly inquires:
"Why would not a road on the Oregon
side serve the country above, as well as
on the Washington side? It is imma
terial to the people above or below,
which side of the river the road is built
on, but we do know that in all .probabil
ity the state will have to do the work,
and it can' make no appropriation for
-work in Washington."
Following the announcements of
Blaine and Stanford that that they will
not be candidates for the presidency
comes John Sherman who says "I have
been bought and sold in convention til
I am sick of it. Senator Sherman's
.name has therefore- liejeq marked off the
list of presidential candidates. ' Next!
During a recen?drouth'IiTVIaine there
was such a scarcity of water, it is said,
that one farmer was obliged to give feia
cattle cider to diink. .-Guess they must
keep a supply on hand larger thftn they
. have in Oregon, where a good, pure glass
of cider is a luxury seldom found.
The Dispatch says we shall be "in it"
next year.' Farmers from all sections
report the fall-sown grain and the grass
in good condition. There are. no signs
of any being winter-killed, and the
prospect for. good crops will never be
better. . ; ' "V

place where soldiers hare been stationed,
more or leas continuously, for more than
800 yean. Near to the fort is a ceme
tery, in . which . lie the bodies of more
than 600 soldiers, some qf whom fell in
battle or yielded to disease or hardship.
Philadelphia Ledger.
The principal causes, of death in one
year in New York city were: Pneu
monia, 5,817; consumption, 5,160; diar
rhceal diseases, 3,585; Blight's disease,
3,503; heart disease, 2,287; violenoe, 1,857;
bronchitis. 1,834; diphtheria, 1.863;
scarlet fever, 1,221; influenza, 838.
During the Eighteenth century, to sat
isfy the demands of enthusiastic ama
teurs, a large business of counterfeiting
antique intaglios and cameos. was de
veloped. This was assisted by forging
the signatures of classic artists.
The remarkable statement is made
. that there are 10,000 suicides a year in
, the Austrian array. Either the em
peror's soldiers , hold their lives very
cheap or there are two ciphers too many
in these figures.
Skillful CaaUa Equestrianism.
There's an unrivaled exhibition of
canine equestrianism to be seen on the
streets of Chicago almost any day,
which, has fully as much or . even more
real merit about it than one will see in
similar displays that are made in any of
the "greatest shows on earth.'' The
performer is an exceptionally intelli
gent water spaniel, and he is a rider of
skill. His act consists, in a word, of
riding a delivery wagon horse whose
driver usually enforces a pell mell gait.
The spaniel siti his mount with his
hind feet on the horse's collaror where
the collar would come, and his front
feet, one ahead of the other, on the nar
row ridge of the horse's neck, his claws
clutched in the "mane. The faster the
horse goes the better the dog seejns to
like .it, judging from his many barks
and lively way in which' he Wags his
tail. The sudden rounding of a corner
never catches the' plucky.' little animal
off his guard, but at' such times he will
"curve in", with apparently the intelli'
gence of the most accomplished circus
rider, and so never loses his balance.
He has fallen but once in the two years
that his owner says he has been riding,
and that was when the horse came near
being killed by a cable car.
The home never goes so well as when
carrying the dog. and that of course
means that horse, -and dog are warm
friends. - Woe to the person or animal
who bothers either of them - when the
other is around, for between the kicking
of the horse and the biting of the dog
the two old chums make it exceedingly
unpleasant for in traders. Chicago Trib
une.
The Clever Do;.
A large, healthy bulldog was sitting to
tally unaware of the dog catcher's wagon,
which came rattling down the street at
that moment. Suddenly the fatal lariat
shot out, but the dog dodged it and made
a bee line for the man who handled it.
Then ensued an exciting chase, which
was much enjoyed by the populace in the
vicinity.
The dog catcher is never very popular
with people in general. In this instance
he succeeded in clambering into his
wagon minus his coattails.
. A skirmish then, ensued, which ended
in the temporary triumph of the dog,
who retired to repose on his laurels. : The
dog. catcher came back from ignomini
ous flight a few minutes later, however,
and human ingenuity soon triumphed
over brute courage. The dog was lassoed
and taken to the pound with other un
fortunates. But here the innate sense of justice in
man steps in to even up things. Several
admiring citizens had viewed the ac
tions of the dog. and when he was cart
ed away they took up a subscription;
sent out to the pound, ransomed the ani
mal and provided him with a home.

Haw Many Pantile Read ThoroBril
There is a sreat deal of tmr.h n tfc..
remark made by the dean of St. Paul's
in wo money nau. uackmey, while dis
tributing prizes- to students of Lady
Holies' middle class school, that "educa
tion in these- days is. to a great extent,
superficial.'a considerable portion of Jt
being -required merely for show, and im
mediate appearances rather than for use
fulness in life. ". But, after all, this wail
is nothing new. Did not the Earl 'of
Chesterfield advise his son to devote him
self to the acquisitiqn of literary scraps
which he could quote in company, and
thus acauire the rermtaiann nt m. nr.ii
