There are two or three Indians in town who do nothing but stand on the street corners, acting as decoys to catch some unsuspecting white man and in duce him to sell them whisky that they may profit by the United States law allowing fees to deputy marshals for selling liqnor to Indians. This matter is by no means new. It is not related for originality, but in the hope that by continually prodding away at it, the offensive law may be wiped from the statute books or nullified by other course of action. It is much better for the state to make some political beneficiary gift of $800 or $1,000 a year, than to entrap unfortunate and weak-minded specimens of humanity into the com mission of a crime by a deliberate and cunning pitfall, to accomplish the same end.. The abuse of this law is most notorious, and conceded by citizens and officials alike. Nine times out of ten the purpose is deliberate.- No other law is violated so often as this. Larceny is the most common crime in all sections, but at Pendleton and The Dalles there are ten liquor cases to one of larcenv. The law reeks with rottenness. A responsi ble party said yesterday that at Pendle- ton it has been the custom to hire tramps to violate this law, the tramp being re paid by a free pass to Portland and board and lodging without work. There is one way to nullify the possibilities of this repugnant law in The Dalles, and that is for the city council to enforce a custom they once did enforce prohibit an In dian from being within the city limits after the hour of 6 o'clock. This would have a eood effect and render these whisky-to-Indians cases much less fre quent. ' A Salem paper, in announcing the names of the several persons as 'probable candidates for governor, mentions ex Gov. Moody, "of The Dalles." Mr. Moody resides in Salem, not in The Dalles. He has business in this city and visits it occasionally. A Virginia judge has made a decision that may be of interest in this section. He decided that a man who bought lots in a boom town on the promise that large industrial plants were to be located there, is entitled to the return of his money because that promise was not fulfilled. The actions of the democracy at Washington of late seem to partake of the desperation of a losing game. In dividuals of the party, like Bland, lose their patience and fly off the handle. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. The Pennsylvania returns the other day serve that purpose admir ably. . Bland, the Missourian, disgraced the halls .of congress yesterday by his vin dictive speech against Hie enforcement of the house rules, which contemplate securing a quorum. The galleries, gen erally ready to applaud anything of a sensational nature, whatever its drift, were mute with surprise and indigna- tion. We can understand something of the spirit of Christ, weeping over the fall of Jerusalem, when considering the lamentable retrogression that has been made in congress since the days of the early patriots. When the destinies of this republic were trembling in the bal ance, the spirit of resisting commercial and social tyranny to Great Britain prompting Washington, Jefferson, Frank lin and his colleagues to hazard their lives on the result, how mortified muBt they have felt on this particular holiday if they could have peered far enough in the future to observe this fire-eating Missourian defying the rules of the . house, and when he had deplorably called lortn pnysical lorce Dy tnat op position, said that the procedure was but to invite anarchy. It is pleasure to note that if he did invite anarchy, the invitation was not accepted. Bland was treated with silent contempt and was ordered to his seat. If Vqn Are a Miserable Sufferer With constipation, dyspepsia and bil iousness seek relief in Simmons Liver Regulator. It does not require con inual dosing, and costs but a trifle. Hot clam broth at J. av at 4 o'clock. Q. Mack's every Ha worth, printer, 116 Court St. tf HIGHTS OF ANIMALS. Horses . In Germany Must Not Be Insulted. Dogs In Belgium Most Have Seats In Trains Pampered Life of the German -Student's Corps-Dogs Better Treated Than Children. While it is unfortunately true .that child life is infinitely happier in the semi-barbaric orient and even in the wilds of Africa than in the most highly civilized portions of Europe and Ameri- writes "Ex-Attache" in ne riew York Tribune, yet the enlightenment and progress of the west, -while they conrn to earrv in their train fresh in genuity of infant torture, lead on the other hand to a very marked improve ment in the treatment of animals. These are subjected by orientals to much the same horrible cruelty as the children of the white races so often suffer at the hands of their parents, relatives and seniors in general. But in Europe and America domestic ani mals are gradually acquiring an im portance and a consideration undream ed of save in those olden times -when they were worshiped as gods or adored as saints. On some future occasion I hope to be permitted to draw a contrast in these columns between child life in orient and child life in the Occident, and to demonstrate from personal experience the superiority of barbarism to civili zation in that one particular. But for the present I will content myself in dealing with the vast improvement in the treatment of our dumb friends, whom stranrrers might often be tempted to believe enjoy the prefer ence over our children. No one has ever heard of a man be ing imprisoned for apostrophizing a child with some coarse, contemptuous or insulting epithet, yet only a short time ago the" Berlin press contained the record of a sentence of tnree wmks imprisonment imposed on a stableman employed in the imperial mews of Pots dam, for having addressed an insulting epithet to a favorite mare belonging to the kaiser. Although this is the first instance known of a man being actual ly sentenced in a regular judicial way to imprisonment for the use of insult ing language to a horse belonging to the state, yet. I have often seen troop ers in crack cavalry regiments of Eu ropean armies taken severely to task and threatened with punishment for talking roughly to their mounts, the welfare of which is a subject of infi nitely greater solicitude to the officers than that of the men. For the horse is worth so much to the national treasury in cold cash, which the trooper is not, at any rate in the countries where mil itary service is .obligatory; ana, more over, the advancement and promotion of the commanding officer depends, as a rule, far more upon the physical con dition of the horses of his regiment .than, of its men. This beinar the case, no one need be astonished to hear ot one of the lead ing Austrian sportsmen. Count Paul Festetics,' bringing legal proceedings against a Viennese sporting paper for having referred in a slighting mann to his race-horse Thalan3 the insult consisting in a remark to the effect that though the mare had won certain takes she did not deserve to take them, owing to the .fact that her com petitors had run so badly as to deprive the victory of every atom of glory or merit. Tnis is hardly a grave insult, out the count thought otherwise and demanded a printed apology on behalf of bis mare, failing which, be has .insti tuted the legal proceedings referred to. It remains to be seen whether he will obtain a decision in his favor, and no one need be astonished if during the course of the proceedings the mare her self is subpoenaed as a witness. In Belgium the ' government, which owns and controls the entire railroad system of the country, has just issued a decree which, as far as railroad trav el is concerned, places the dog on ex actly the same level as a grown-up man or woman, ana mnniteiy nigner than a child. For whereas the latter is entitled to half a place if under twelve years of age. a dog has now a right to a full seat, providing he has his ticket. That is to say in compartments li censed to hold ten travelers, if there are eight adult human beings and two dogs in the compartment, the latter is regarded as "complete, and no other passengers are .admitted, and if the train happens to be full, partly with dogs and partly with human beings, any additional passengers will have to be left behind rather than that the dogs should be forced to-yield up their seats. The government decree, however, son- tains no intimation as to the manner in which the canine travelers are ex pected to conform to the regulations which prohibit passengers from puttmg their feet on the cusHions; and it must be admitted that the seats of railroad carriages as at present constructed are not suited to the dog s style of repose. Inasmuch, however, as the govern ment has already given him the prefer ence over children by according to him an entire seat, instead of merely half of one,' it is quite within the bounds of possibility that it . may in course of time be brought to modify the cars in such a manner as to add to the comfort of the canine passenger at the expense of the human traveler. Floating; Cities. The modern American man-of-war is a little world in itself, or perhaps more properly a floating city, with its in habitants of many trades and profes sions. Not only is there a doctor to dose you and a chaplain to care for your spiritual welfare, but many cooks, several carpenters, SKilled machinists, electricians, tailors, musicians and barbers. There is at least one clever sailorman told off as ship's writer, which office corresponds closely to the old-fashioned scrivener. It thus hap pens that one can have almost any thing made aboard ship, from an en grossed copy of a complimentary reso lution to a complicated piece of ma chinery or cabinet work. NEWS OF THE STATE. The Wells-Fargo has bought the greater part of the stock in. the Com--mercial National bank of Portland, and will largely increase, the capital stock. Ex-Treasurer S. F. Murphy at Baker City was convicted yesterday of larceny of public money. He was short in hia accounts $4,110. The jury was out 20 hours and recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court. .' Judge Bellinger ,fn the United States court, yesterday, morning notified the district attorney that he would not here after sentence persons pleading guilty to selling liquor to the Indians on an in formation, but would hold them to the United States grand jury, and if indicted and found guilty would sentence them to a long term of imprisonment in the penitentiary. - Curious Flowers. The Brazilian flower known as the running antelope" is so called be cause its white petals have a series of well-defined, dark-colored lines and dots in which the imagination can readily trace the form of an antelope with its limbs outstretched and head thrown back, seemingly' fleeing for its life. In the "caricature plant." one species has the imitative form on the petals, and another has it outlined in the ribs and shading or the leaves. This last mentioned curiosity bears a remarkably well-executed likeness of the duke of Wellington, and has on that account been named "Arthur and His Nose." Among the. orchids the imitative form is entirely different in character, being exhibited in the shape of the flower itself. Some are exact counterfeits of bees, butterflies, moths, etc., while others take upon themselves the form of worms and beetles. Naturalists believe that in the first in stance it is nature's trap to lure other bees, moths and butterflies, but in the case of the worm and beetle orchids or those that are exact counterparts of toads, lizards and huge spiders, they do not attempt to explain. O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff of Tyrel Co., W. Va., appreciates a good thing and does not hesitate to say so. ' He was almost prostrated with a cold when he procured a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. He says: "It gave me prompt relief. I find it to be an invalu able remedy for coughs and colds."

Wilson, Contractor and Builder, Sulphur Springs, Texas, thus speaks of -fl-yer's Pills: " Ayer's Pills are the best medicine I ever tried; and,, in my judgment, no better general remedy could be devised. I have used them in my family and recommended them to my friends and employes for more than twenty years. To my -certain knowledge, many cases , of the following complaints have been completely and . Permanently Cured by the use of Ayer's Pills alone: Third day chills, dumb ague, bilious fever, sick headache, rheumatism, flux, dys pepsia, constipation, and hard colds. I know that a moderate use of Ayer's Pills, continued for a few days or weeks, as tha nature of the complaint required, would be found an absolute cure for the disorders I have named above." " I have been selling medicine for eight years, and I can safely say that Ayer's Pills give better satisfaction than "any other Pill I ever sold." J. J. Perry, Spottsylvania C. H., Va.
