The members of Hie Wasco county
farmers' alliance have decide! not to put
a ticket in the field at the coming elec
tion hut to vote, ai-cordirig, to iiidi
vidual choice, for the best nominees of
the old parties.- This is unquestionably
the wiser course under existing condi
tions. The alliance people have not a
sufficient following in this county to
give them any hope of success through
independent action. They tried it two
years ago and utterly failed. ' To try it
again would be to court a similar defeat,
and worse 8 till, to make the election of
objectionable candidates very probable,
if not absolutely certain. The vote of
the best, element of any community
given to an independent candidate who
cannot be elected is sure to help the
election of (the worse of two candidates
from the old parties. An independent
vote that 'cannot be bought or swerved
from the right is always a terror to cor
rupt politicians. The Wasco alli-
give it immense power for good. It will
have the respect and good will of every
man -who loves good government.. Let
the alliance men get lo work and insist
that the right ind of men are sent to
the county conventions. All the mis
l. : jAnA : i. : .... t l
good men are sent to the county con
ventions the chances are that only good
men will be put in nomination. Then
whichever side wins at the election the
people will be well served. "
The Louisville Courier-Journal . says :
It costs fifty cents to produce seventy
five tents worth of s"lver. It costs
eight cents to produce six-cent cotton,
.but,, strange to say, while we have in
numerable bills offered in congress to
increase the value of silver,' no man has
offered a. ""bill to increase the price of
cotton. Can we not have the govern!
ment buy the surplus product of the
cotton fields? The cotton planters are
in greater need of relief than are the sil
var producers, and they are are a far
more useful class.
The reduction in wheat rates between
The Dalles and Portland, which has just
.been effected by the board. of railway
commissioners amounts to a- fraction
over two and one-fifth cents a bushel.
-In other words the new rate is about
-eight cents a bushel . instead of ten
and one-fifth. This is . still two
cents higher than the present rates of
-the D. P. & A. Navigation company.
The Australian ballot law has scored
- "another triumph. At an election held
last Tuesday in Jacksonville, Oregon, it
worked perfectly and gave entire satis
faction. The Chronicle expects the
..same results to follow the coming June
election. - .
The Aslorian says : Chauncey 'Depew
says 600 babies have been named after
him. That is risky. The chances are
that in 30 years from, now one-third of
the states will have a Chauncey Depew
in the penitentiary. .
A fool editor in a small town can make
more mischief than seven wise ones can
rectify. -

Astorian. Some of our Kansas ex
changes refer unkindly to-- Oregon.
Meanwhile the people leave Kansas and
come here. The papers of the two states
well illustrate the difference of condition
in the two commonwealths. The Kan-
sas papers are full of sheriffs' sales - and
foreclosures of mortgages; the Oregon
papers have notices of settlers proving"
upon their claims, of genial weather
the year round,. of fruiful soil and never
failing crops. . '

One of the most striking features in the
poorer regions of the city is the early age
at whiclj children are made useful in the
household. In my rambles about town I
have seen children pony, undersized
children too of four and five years of
age carrying milk, meat, groceries, etc,
having just performed that part of the
family marketing. Step into any of the
Seventh avenue butcher shops, bakeries
er groceries and yon will " almost invari
ably see children of from four to eight
years old purchasing family supplies.
1 have, seen children whose eyes were
still on a level with the butcher's chop
ping block buying five cents' worth of
odds and ends of meat for the family
stew, and paying for it in peniJes care
fully counted out into the butcher's big
brown hands pennies hard earned, no
doubt. One time the child couldn't talk
distinctly enough for the man to under
stand. .-.".-
"How much money have you got?" he
asked.
The little thinly clad tot opened a
chubby and very dirty fist and displayed
four cents. Whereupon the butcher, his
diamond pin sparkling in the rays of his
bright cleaver, scooped in the pennies
and chopped him (or her) off a fragment
of bones and gristle and threw in a
chunk of fat. ,
"Small?" said he, in response to my
comment. "These' children commence
running errands as soon as they can
walk. At six and seven the girls do the
marketing tend keep house, while the
boys sell papers and play craps. Por
terhouse, sir?" New York Herald.
A Doubtful Complimeut
A man who was selling rugs stopped
at a house on Howard street, at the
door of which a woman was sweeping.
A great pile of dirt had accumulated
under her vigorous wielding of the
broom.
. "(i'mornin," said the man. "Can I sell
you a rug today?" . -.
"No. you can't sell mo anything,
snapped the woman.
"Sorry, murmured the man as he
folded the" rugs; "that's a powerful sight
of dust you've got there."
"1 guess I ve swept the whole house "
retorted the woman; " 'tain't every day 1
kin do the sweepin." .
"You must be the cleanest woman in
the world," continued the silver tongued
rug seller.
"Dew tell," said " the woman, leaning
on her broom. "What makes you think
sor- - - .. -
"That pile of dust. My wife could
sweep for a month -and not get such a
.pile of dust as that."
bhe was flattered, and looked at his
rugs; with the result that she bought
two; and as he went away he chuckled
to himself: ' -'
" Carn't sell me anythin.- No? May
be 1 didn't sell her and the rugs both.
And she never tumbled!" Detroit Free

Roman Coins In India.
In the Madras museum is to be seen a
coin the finding of . which was, I think,
one of the most intereatinrr pmorama rf
events with which 1 am acquainted. It
is none otner tnan the Aureus of Clau
dius which was struck to commemorate
the conquest of Britain, and it was
found in the Madura district of the
British Indian empire.
I myself possess a coin of the Arian
Emperor Valens which was found in the
Vaigai river in the same district. Such
unlooked for links hntween irt paa an1
associations separated by half the world
are very curious, but in the town of
Madura itself there is a building which
is connected with one of the most ro
mantic periods of British history. Sir

Lion Taming- Made Easy.
With the object of preventing the ter
rible scenes of such frequent occurrence
in menageries between the tamers of
wild beasts and their more or less docile
"pupils,' a chemist proposes that a man
should be stationed near the cage armed
with a syringe of large dimensions filled
with caustic ammonia, a stream nf whioh
is to be projected toward the nostrils of
me -oeasc in case or imminent danger.
The effect would be instantaneous, as the
creature, being unable to "breathe, would
let go its prey immediately. Better late
than never! Sud-Ouest. ,

The approach of fly time suggested an
idea to a man in Nebraska for a cow tail,
holder. A clamp ' like a clothespin
catches-the bushy end of the tail, and
two cords with a snap attachment fasten
the tail to a cow's leg, to a post or to the
milking stool. The same day that the
Nebraska man got his patent for a cow
tail holder a man in Maine got one for.
the same purpose. The Maine man's tail '
holder is of a single piece of "wire coiled
so as to connect the tail with the cow's
leg. Harper's Young People.

In Michigan a double cedar ' knot is

long as .the grub remained alive no
rheumatism, could get hold of him.
