Sharp Superintendent of Public Schools. . .Troy Shelley Coroner William Michell 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. - NOKTHWB8T NIW8. 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. .

KlNEBSLT, tf- Treas. Dalles Citv. Jafrallt Purchasers. -.. 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 Press. i Famous Abductions. f' Alarriaore bv fl.brlnrr.inn' ima hv nr. means uncommon in the early ages.

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 Grant Duff in Contemporary Review. 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. , Great Minds Bon la the Same Channel. 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. Odd Safeguards.
