Representative Wilson is getting
better. It is too bad the same cannot
be said of his bill. '
Some of the gay old democratic loth
. arioa are snuggling up to the coy young
populist maiden like a sick kitten to a
warm brick but the shy and fiitful
young thing will- probably go it alone
until she gets a little older. Salem
Statesman.
.Laboring men who voted the demo-
cratic ticket, but who have now espoused
republicanism, are accused of being
turncoats. The trouble with a large
number of these victims of misplaced
confidence is, they have no coat to turn.
Cedar Rapids, la., Daily Republican,
February 2, 1892.
President Sanford B. Dole has shown
ability and statesmanship so far superior
to the president of the United States
that the intelligent citizen of this coun
try can but feel a tinge of shame. Think
of James G. Blaine, of Benjamin Har
rison, of John Sherman and think what
might have been. What a pity !
Chicago will feel that she has beeii un
fairly taken advantage of by the "Greater
New York" bill. At one swoop she has
nearly doubled her population by adding
Brooklyn and Long Island city to the
city proper, while if Chicago reaches out
in like manner it will be only to take in
tenantless prairie. New York, with a
population of 3,000,000 is the third city
in the world. '
The crowned heads lie less uneasy
since life insurance came into vogue.
The king of Portugal has just taken out
a $200,000 policy; the- late Emperor
Frederick of Germany was insured for
14,000,000 ; the queen regent of Spain
drew down $5,000,000 when her husband
died, and with some of the money is
now paying premiums on big policies
taken out for her little daughters ; Queen
Victoria also received - $5,000,000 when
her husband died, and her life is also
heavily insured, as is also that of the
king of Belgium. The czar of Russia is
about the only European potentate
whose life is not insured, the companies
declining to take the risk on account of
' the continual efforts of nihilists to take
his life.
A novel' method of cultivating the fac
ulty of observation in children has been
introduced by a Philadelphia kindergar
ten teacher. She tells her pupils that
she is about to have a call from some one
who will remain only three minutes;
' that no one must directly stare at him,
but that the pupil who gives the best
description of him after his departure
will receive a prize. The other day her
father, a Grand Army veteran in uni
form, performed the part of caller, and
some of the personal descriptions
after he had bowed himself out denoted
unusually quick and accurate attention
to detail. One boy had counted all his
buttons and gave the number correctly,
another noticed an almost invisible scar
on his face, and various others gave de
tails of the color and shape of his beard,
hair and uniform. The one who re
ceived the prize was a little girl, who
declared he had "an expression on his
face."
The Bland silver coinage bill has
finally passed the house. If it runs the
gauntlet of the senate, it will yet have
' to be signed by the pieBident, an event
considered doubtful. The bill proposes
to utilize at once, for the purpose of
meeting emergencies in public expendi
. tares, the silver bullion which is now in
the treasury as gain or seigniorage. The
amount of this gain or seigniorage in the
treasury is now $55,000,000. Silver cer
tificates are to be issued at once for this
. amount, and redeemed with this silver
as fast as it is coined. It will increase
the circulation by that amount. On the
gold certificate system, this amount
, - could be more than trebled. The gold
reserve of $100,000,000 is intended to be
adequate for the redemption of $346,'
000,000 of greenbacks. In addition to
the $55,000,000 of bullion there is yet a
large surplus of coined silver certificates
besides this. There are 419,000,000 "of
silver dollars ' coined altogether, and
only about $365,000,000 of . certificates
issued. The Bland bill, then, increases
our circulating medium, while the bill is
also circulated to make silver stand on
its own footing. .' "

ERMINIO GIONINI.
Bis Ca.todtans Confident He Is Suffer
ing for Another's Crime.
A most sensational story is related in
yesterday's " .Oregonian, calculated to
show that Erminio Gionini, who has
served eleven years of a life sentence in
the penitentiary at Walla Walla, for
the murder of a fellow Italian, George
Ricco,- is innocent, and that the respon
sibility for the crime rests upon Dr. O.
F. Candiana of the Cascade Locks. The
story is told by the alleged murderer
himself, but in such a manner as to im
press every listener'of his story with its
truth, coupled by his model deportment
while in jail.
Gionini at the time of the murder
could not Bpeak a word of English. Ac
cording to his story, he had been living
in Portland with a colony of Italians
and got acquainted with Candiana,
whose services were valuable as an in
terpreter. . Candiana decided on build
ing a "potato starch manufactory" near
Cape Horn, on the Columbia river,
which subsequently turned out to be a
blind for an illicit distillery. George
Ricco was one of the hands employed on
the work, and frequently carried $500 or
$1,000 In his pockets.
Gionini had lost a wallet containing
valuable papers and Ricco volunteered
to search for it. In the direction which
he took there was a mesa, and a person
moving, on it could be seen from the
river below if one chanced to look up.
An hour or more after Ricco had left,
Candiana came up the river in a boat
with two fishermen, landing in front of
the cabin. Gionini was observed by all
three playing with a little black spaniel,
which was the especial property of no
one, and of which he Was very fond.
When Candiana landed, the two fisher
men proceeded across the river to the
Oregon side. They had been engaged
for some weeks in stealing from the rail
road construction party then at work,
quantities of giant powder and material,
which they were storing, with Candi
ani's help and advice, on the Washing
ton shore. When he reached the cabin
Candiana asked what Ricco was doing
up in the woods., Evidently he had
seen Ricco from the river. Gionini told
him. Candiana went inside the cabin,
and soon after walked off in the direc
tion taken by Ricco. In less than 10
minutes Gionini heard the discharge of
firearms, and ' a . dreadful suspicion
flashed across his mind. He rushed
into the cabin and pulled out the
drawer. The pistol was gone.
Three-quarters of an hour later Candi
ana returned with the spaniel, which
had followed him. His eyes were in
flamed with excitement, and his actions
betokened the mental condition of a man
who had committed a crime. Gionini,
scarcely less horrified, accused him. He
denied the charge at first, then confessed,
at the same time covering' Gionini with
the six-shooter, and saying,' "I have
three shots left in here, and if you don't
swear by your God and your honor that
you will never inform on me, I'll kill
you." Gionini raised his hand and
swore. Candiani told him to go to Port
land. Later in the evening Gionini
walked out east from the cabin, with the
little black spaniel following him. The
dog had witnessed the murder.. It led
him instinctively to the 6pot where the
murdered man . was buried be
neath a thin layer of freshly-turned
dirt. Upon scratching a little of
it away, a . human limb protruded
and he paused to investigate no further.
In the evening, unobserved, he again
opened the' drawer in the table. The
pistol was back in its place. He put it
in his pocket, thinking only of the
danger of being murdered in the night.
He did not sleep. Next morning he
came to Portland.
Not until the day of trial, April 1,
18S3, did Gionini succeed in procuring
attorneys to defend him, and at the last
moment they were appointed by the
court. His defense was helpless. Cir
cumstances and Candiana were com
bined against him. He was convicted of
murder in the first degree and sentenced
by Judge Hoyt to be hanged. Im
pressed by 'his steadfast demeanor,
by ' the - unflinching - manner in
which he gave the truthful evidence
that convinced himself, the attorneys
who were called on. at the last moment
to defend him, and some of the best
citizens of Vancouver, united in an at
tempt to save his life. The result of
their persistent labors in hia behalf was
five reprieves and eventually a commuta
tion of the sentence to imprisonment
for life, granted by Governor Newell. : '.
ANOTHER STATEMENT.
Today's Orogonian contains a veritable
retraction of the foregoing article. It is
in the form of a letter from Mr. A. B.
Ferrera, a well-known citizen of Port
land, who has been acquainted with Dr.
Candiana and his family - for many
years. The Oregonian says it is satisfied
that it has done the doctor grave injus
tice, and furnishes the name of its cor
respondent, one E. D. Coven, of Olym
pia, Wash.
The experience of Geo. A. Apgar, of
German Valley, N. J., is well worth re
membering. He was troubled with
chronic diarrhoea and doctored for five
months and was treated by four differ
ent doctors without benefit. He then
began using Chamberlain's Colic, Chol
era and Diarrhoea Remedy, of which one
bottle effected a complete cure. It is

MIDWINTER FAiR.
A Dallesian Says Wbat He Thinks A bunt
the Exposition. '
San Francisco, Feb. 26, 1894.-rSpe-cial
Correspondence. The Midwinter
Fair is at last nearly complete ; so much
so that it takes a very long day .to see
what is free, without visiting the vari
ous "concessions." To pay admission
to all the latter costs about $29.50, to
which add fifty cents admission to the
grounds, and you have exactly $30 total
cost to Eee . the whole business. There
is a very fair attendance, but the re
ports of the Chronicle are very much
exaggerated. There' does ' not seem to
be an unusual number of people in the
city from the rural districts, . and the
chances are there will be no greater
number as time advances toward spring
and summer. Country people gener
ally have little money to spare at pres
ent. Very few of . the common and
poorer classes in California will visit the
fair. '
The exhibits are all that could be
wished for. All the California county
exhibits are remarkably large and fine,
but are mostly made of fruits, dried
fruits and oranges. Everything is cov
ered with the yellow fruit. There 'is
little variety in the county exhibits, see
one and you have a good sample of all.
The mechanical, manufactures and fine
arts buildings and exhibits are all that
could be wished for or expected. The
big Firth wheel is a success. Mr. Chris
man ought to buy it after the fair is
over and make a fruit dryer of it. -It
would just suit some of these prune
raisers who have 500 to 1,000 acres.
?The electric tower and electric fountain
are hard to describe, but are the won
der of all visitors.
No expense has been spared to make
the fair attractive. If it is not a success
financially it ought to be, and in one
way it certainly will be, as an advertis
ing agent for California. It will add
millions in money and thousands in
population'to the state. Oregon made a
grand mistake not to have a part in
this fair. She could have made a fine
exhibit of fruits, cereals, mineral, lum
ber, etc., and with ' less money than
some counties here have expended,' and
it would have enlightened many people
who have an idea that Oregon is an up
north frontier post, with a small clear
ing attached, on which the natives raise
red apples and clams.
San Francisco is burdened at present
with 5,000 or 6,000 workingmen out of
employment. One thousand ofj these
are kept at work in the park. They get
$1 a day, and the public school children
give them each a sandwich for dinner.
They take turn about, and if a man gets
1 and a sandwich a 'week he is lucky
and glad to take it in silver (I mean the
dollar). Subscriptions to the fund for
this work is falling off. These, men are
good, reliable citizens ; no tramps among
them. They cannot be left to starve.
One energetic reformer is going to ad
dress the board of trade at its next meet
ing proposing to charter enough cars to
take 2,000 ' to 3,000 of these men to
Washington, claiming that the govern
ment is responsible for their condition
and ought in justice to keep them. It
would be a grand object lesson to Cleve
land, and possibly he could use some of
them to assist the sergeant-at-arms tb
hunt up a quorum in congress. Others
might go with the president and Mr.
Gresham and gather bait on fishing ex
cursions. Every one of them would
take silver (if they could get it), and it
would not disturb the gold reserve.

ONE. MAN'S DIPLOMACY.
It Stopped the Baby's Crying and Earned
lllm Everlasting Gratitude.
It was in an "L" train and a baby
was crying' with all the strength of its
two-year-old lung's. oThe expression
on the faces of the occupants of the
car changed from indifference to pity,
then to annoyance, and finally to
downright " anger. Finally, says the
New York Recorder, a man two or three
seats from the crying child leaned
?yer and snapped his fingers quickly. '
The effect was magical. The child
stopped in 'the middle of a yell, and
gazed open eyed and open mouthed at
the man. ' He snapped his fingers sev
eral times, then, accompanying them
with grotesquely cheerful smiles and afl
peculiar snake ol ms head which
seemed, to highly interest the cross
cherub and appeal to his sense of
humor, for a . wavering little smile
crept around the corners of the droop
ing mouth and the cries ceased for
good.. The man leaned back in his
seat, bestowing occasional cheerful.
Winks and . smiles at the vanquished
foe. -
He reaped his reward. , The old fel
low next to him declared he had diplo
macy enough to make a prime minis
ter, the men opposite peeped at him in
friendly recognition over the tops of
their papers, the woman near him with
nerves and a headache said: "Thank
you," and the pretty girl m the cor
ner gave him a sweet smile. That man
left the car followed by a score of
blessings, and the cross baby, turned
over and actually went to sleep. -
HIS OWN BANKER.
A Booster's Great Wealth.
Ready Cash.
of Always
A land-owner and cattle-raiser in
Warren . county, Ind., died 'recently.
He had a large tract of land devoted
exclusively to grazing, and his sales of
cattle every year ran up to scores of
thousands of dollars. Much of this
money during the latter years of his
life he invested in more land. He
bought farms, cleared them of their
buildings, and turned them into hay
fields and pasture-ground.- His trans
actions, says the Cincinnati Times
Star, were always conducted on a cash
basis. Where he kept his money was
a mystery. At the time of. his death
he had about eight thousand acres of
land, ranging in value from thirty-five
dollars to one hundred dollars an acre.
He had been living, alone on a farm
about two miles from the county seat.
When on his death-bed with his chil
dren, who were' all grown up and mar
ried, surrounding him, he said to them
that they would be surprised when
they opened the safe, a small affair
which was in the room. When it was
opened after the funeral it was found
to contain one hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars. That was'his bank.. He
had kept his money in the little safe in
his house, two miles in the country,
and had had large sums there for
years. Imagine what an easy prey
this would have been to a handful of
burglars. Two or three men could
have aken it any night without the
slightest trouble. But he kept his se
cret well.
O. W. O. Hardman, Sheriff pi 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." For

This invaluabla quality is never more appar
ent in man or woman than, when shown in his
or her choice of periodical reading matter. First
in order should come the Local Newspaper, so
that pace may be kept with the doings of the
busv world. Jt should ba a paper like THE
DALI.E- WEEKLY CHRONICLE, which
gives all the latest Home News as well as the
General bewa. Political News and Market News,
wiih seasonable Editorials on current topics.
No one can get along without his home paper.
The newspaper should be supplemented by some
periodical from which, will be derived amuse
ment end instruction during the evenings at
home, where every article Is read and digested.
Such a paper, to fill every requirement, should
possess these qualities. .
First It sbonld be a clean, wholesom paper
that can safely be taken into the family. It
should be illustrated with timely engravings.
Second A paper that Is entertaining and in-
structive while of sound principles. Its moral
tone should be beyond question.
Third A helpful paper, one that tells the house
wife of home life, thoughts and experiences,
and keeps her in touch with social usage and
fashion.
Fourth A paper abounding in original charac
ter sketches, bright payings, unctuous humor
and brilliant wit.
Fifth It should contain good stories and pleas
ing matter for youns people, that the children
may always regard the paper as a friend.
Sixth Literary selections and stories suitable
for older people should be given, for they, too,
like to enjoy a leisure hour.
Seventh In short, it should be a good all-round
