The New York Evening Post lately
made a quotation and application of a
scripture text with an incisiveness and
aptitude that ought to commend its
editor to a chair in some theological
seminary. A large number of eminent
Presbyterians had gathered at .the man
sion of Jay Gould and Jay's heart had
opened wide enough to subscribe $10,
000 to the cause of church extension.
"One of the clergyirn" says the Post
"who spoke on the duty of generosity,
and the dangers of selfishness which be
set the rich, closed with an apology fcr
venturing to treat of sui;h a subject in
such a presence. We cannot refrain
from putting his words alongside those
of a writer, who seems to be getting very
old-fashioned in religious circles :
A FKKBY1ER OF THE
MINKTKR NTH CE!
TUBV. "I hope I haven't
spoken in such a way
as to give ofl'ense to any
of our guests, or to our
host, Mr. Gould."
A PRE8BYTKR OF THE
FIRST CFNTCHY.
"Go to now, ye rich
men, weep and howl
for your miseries that
shall come upon you.
Your riches are cor
rupted. , . . Your
gold and silver is can
kered; and the rust of
them shall be a witness
against you. Behold,
the hire of the laboreis
who have reaped down
your fields, which is of
you kept back by f rnuc'
crieth.A
Assessor Sears, of Multnomah, puts
in a strong plea for a little better treat
ment of county assessors. He would
like to see the law amended so that
assessors would make all needed copies
of their rolls instead of the county
clerks. He justly claims that assessors
and their deputies are familiar with
the rolls and if allowed to copy
tneni would be able to correct any errors
the original might contain. Besides it
would give assessors employment be
tween assessments, and better still, the
work would be done after allowing good
wages to the assessors, at about' one
tenth the price allowed by law to the
clerks. "La9t venr." ai1 Tr. Kin 'T
made $1600 for my year's work, while
the clerk- got $2,300 for making two
copies that took him only two weeks to
finish." Of course the clerk employed
a number of hands to do the work but
there is no sense or reason or justice in
making such discrimination in the
wages of two offices which require, at
least, equal intelligence and clerical
ability.
The highest tribunal in the land has
declared that Ex-Speaker Reed was
right when, in the last house of repre
sentatives, be insisted on counting a
quorum when the quorum was present
althoug less than a quorum voted. The
court held that when a majority of each
house is present the house is in a position
to do businers and its capacity to -do
business is then established. This Is
cerated by the mere presence of a ma
jority and does not depend upon the dis
position or the assent or the action of
any single member or fraction of the
majority present. All that the consti
tution requires is the presence of a ma
jority and when the majority is present
the Dower of the hnum ariana A nrl e
it turns out that 'Czar" Reed was right
after all and all the talk we heard a year
ago about "usurpation" and "autocracy"
were the vaporings of ignorance and dis
appointment. . , i
The taxpayers of Baker county are do
ing a work for their county that the
Chraniclk has undertaken for this one.
They are investigating the incomes of
the several offices with a view to placing
them on some basis more in harmony
with reason and common sense. It is
safe to say that the day .of big, fat
salaries for county offices, altogether out
of proportion to the work 'done or the
qualification of the incumbents, will

The trouble between the state board
of railroad commissioners- and - the
Union Pacific railroad " company in
regard to freight rates will soon
be disposed of. The railway people
in a consultation with the general office
at Omaha, decided to accept the re
vised schedule of rates proposed by the
commission. It is pleasant to ' know
that the board has, so far at least, been
doing something to earn its wages.

" My Wavy."
Many years ago Edwin Forrest, the
celebrated actor, was in the habit of
dining: at Windust's, a noted restaurant
on Park row, that was a favorite resort
of actors and literary men. It usually
happened that Forrest would be joined
by friends, and that the - little' group
would sit together at one table. On one
occasion it chanced that an Englishman
with a reputation for conceit and imper
tinence, who had scraped acquaintance
with the tragedian, was one of the group.
Early in the course of the dinner the
Englishman began to make criticisms,
which he considered pleasantries, about
Forrest's conception of certain -roles.
Encouraged by his own appreciation he
gave full play to his humor, and con
cluded each of his impertinences with
"Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my way."
To file astonishment of all who knew
Forrest's irascible disposition he bore
the Briton's offensive remarks patiently
and seemingly ignored them as far as
possible. When, however, the nuts were
brought in by the waiter he took several
cracked walnuts in his band, and, walk
ing over to the Briton's" place, jocularly
snapped them successively in the face of
that individual, lightly saying after each
shot, "Pardon my freedom, sir; it's my
way," and snapped him out of the" res
taurant. New York Ledger.
Enthusiastic People at the Theaters.
1 suppose most people go to the thea
ter to enjoy themselves. That is what I
go. for. People are differently con
structed, of course, and have different
ways of showing their appreciation of
the play. 1 can stand the catcall, the
screech, the kick and the clap of the
hands, and it does not annoy me much
if the man or woman back of me or to
one side gives vent to ioud guffaws,
whether 1 think the play is funny or not.
We are all not built on the same pattern
in this respect.- -s
But 1 would like to know what sort of
consolation a certain class gets out of re
peating the last few words that an actor
says. I have had people sit near me
who kept up that sort of thing during
the entire play. The words are repeated
loud enough to be heard a dozen seats
away." Sometimes these receptive peo
ple will repeat an entire sentence after
the actor whose words affect them. ' 1
wonder what sort of a T"ftn' that is?

Cosmopolitan Cooking.
There is a belief current that what
ever can be D roc Tired for mmutv run ha
had in this city, especially if it is any
auug to eau ine people wno nock: here
from every part of the country are apt,
sooner or later, to import 'their native
dishes, and to make them acceptable to
gastronomic New York. - . .
New England, no matter how lightly
her cooking may be estimated, has had
notable success of. this kind. Baked
beans, pumpkin pie and Boston brown
bread axe with us. The western man
and his pork are known and appreciated.
The Frenchman, the. Irishman, the Eng
lishman, the. German and the Italian

. A native in Kuru, India, had toaihap
pearance died. As the body was being
carried for cremation it suddenly sat
bolt upright on the bier, demanded its
clothes and asked to be told where it
, was being carried. - The bearers- believ
ing that an evil spirit had reanimated
the body, dropped it and fled. The man
thus left alone unwound himself and
walked home. The er-corpse has de
clined to have anything more to' do with
his relatives or their religion. London
