WEDNESDAY, - MAR. 7,1894 WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN t The democrats claim that the present . financial crisis was coming on before the last presidential election and would have been the same if the republicans bad carried the election. Republican leaders and the republican- press, and republi cans generally deny this. The positions of the two parties are very natural, and furthermore one or the other must be true. There are some facts connected with the affairs of this government that have become a matter of history, and facts too in the memory of comparatively young men, upon which we must all agree. "Up until 1860 wages were very low for nearly all kinds of labor. From 1860 to 1892 wages have been largely advanced, some kinds of labor having doubled in value. Turn to your charts, or to your primary history of the United States and see what political party governed this country mainly up to 1861. ' Also while you are looking this question up look and see what political party gov erned from- 1861 to 1893, and examine what party made the laws that governed during this last named time. It is true that the democrats had the government from 1885 to 1889 but, the republicans made the law that controlled that ad ministration and it could not do the wide-spread harm that has followed this unhappy administration. There is nothing in being unfair in an argument. The democratic party may be honest in its convictions of principles. So are the republicans. Every pereon Who is idle and who does not earn the bread that he eats, if he has not pro vided honest money to buy it with is a burden to society. Tramps, hobos and professional dead-beats are not democratic creations ; they existed before the democrats came into power and have grown upon this country from natural causes, as the anarchist has upon European governments. The demo cratic party is in no sense to blame for . ' the hundreds of thousands of profes sional idlers that infest this country. They will exist and nourish in their way, so difference which party is in power. If a person does not produce as much as his family consumes that person will run behind. If a farmer produces and veils $100 worth of stuff from his farm and in the same time expends $75 for the support of himself and family, he has gained $25 and is getting ahead in the world. If he makes $200 off of the farm and lays out $300, he is running behind, and some time will go to the wall.. The same thing is true of government. If the government is mismanaged, and the, people have to buy from foreign people more than they sell to them, the govern ment is going to the wall. A free trade ' policy in the United States has the effect to make the American people buy more from foreign nations than they sell to foreign nations. Long tabulated state ments of imports and exports, with figures attached to them running up into millions, are apt to confuse the mind of the reader, and he gives up too easily that he cannot understand it, and depends upon the wisdom of others to help him out. Every man who folds up a slip of paper and hands it to a judge of election to poke through the slot of a ballot box, is a part of this government, and if he knows enough to do that, he ought to inform himself sufficiently to know why he did it. Tax for revenue only means free trade : tax for the protection of labor means protection. We will say that an Eng lishman in Australia can bring a ten pound fleece of wool to the American market, taxed for . revenue only (ten cents specific duty), and sell the fleece for eighty cents. . He has seventy cents and the United States has ten cents for revenue only. The Oregon wool grower cannot afford to produce a ten-pound fleece for less than ninety cents, so he is driven out of the business, for revenue only, by the Englishmen. But the Oregon man can produce a ten-pound fleece for $1.50 and remain in the buai ness. - So. the republicans, to protect the Oregon man against the Englishman - from -Australia, would put a' specific duty of eighty cents on the English man's .ten-pound fleece, t. he will pay into the treasury for the privilege of selling, the difference between the value of raw material in Australia and raw ma terial in the United States and this is .-protection. . A fusion ia probable between, demo crats and populists the coming elec tion. While the populists are indifferent about it, many democrats believe it is their only hope, and rather than enter tain the certainty of defeat, will make a tool of the third party to subserve their own ends. The Oregonian does hot deserve cen sure for the mistake -it unwittingly made in the matter of publishing the Walla Walla correspondence referring to Dr. Candiana and Erminio Gionini, : In the first place the article is so sincere in tpne and faultless in construction that it scarcely admits a possibility of doubt in the mind of any reader, and in the next place Mr. Scott, possessing one of the brightest minds the Pacific coast has ever produced, lias eo tender a heart that he is as easily influenced as a woman where his feelings are wrought up by a .supposed wrong to humanity. He has Biade every reparation in his power, now that he finds himself mis taken, and has taken the pains to send the retraction broadcast throughout the press reports. The Oregonian may be forgiven it is not often the. great Ore gon daily has occasion to suffer the bit terness of retraction, and never was re traction made more fully and freely. ORIGIN OF HOSPITALS. The Work of sv Kins in the Third Century Before Christ. Hospitals, as we now understand the term, are of modern growth, says the Quarterly Review. True it is, as Mr. Burdett tells us in the historical sec tion of "Hospitals and Asylums of the World," that in the records of Egypt and ancient India we find allusions to institutions that foreshadow the hos pitals of latter times, - and even our asylums for sick animals are borrowed from the east. 1 An inscription engraved on a rock near the city of Surat tells how Asoka, a king who reigned in Gujerat in . the third century B. C, commanded the es tablishment of hospitals in all his do minions and placed one at each of the four gates of the royal city of Patna. Six hundred years after- this Fa Hian, an intelligent Chinese traveler, ' who visited India in 399 A. T). records that Asoka's hospitals still existed and flourished, but the successive floods of conquest swept all away, and by the beginning of this century only a hos pital for animals remained of all the pious king's foundations. Ancient Egyptian records are more vague in the allusions to the treatment of the sick, but it seems likely, from a legend which is given in the "Papyrus Ebers," that a clinic existed in connec tion with the Temple of Heliopolis. It is equally probale that, if the history of the temples of iEsculapius could be unveiled, we should find that in them also a hospital supplemented the shrine, and that the sick who -offered sacrifices there found something more than "faith healing" within their walls. But from none of these arc our hospitals derived; they were destroyed or forgotten in the barbarian con quests, and so utter is the oblivion into which they fell that it is now an article of the popular creed that it is to Christianity we owe the first idea of care for the sick and afflicted. TOMB OF CONFUCIUS. Beached by an A venue Lined with Stone F Igrurea of Animals and Myths. The city of Chufu-lisien, the Mecca of the believers of Confucianism, is in the province of Shangtung, one of the most populous districts of the orient. Here Confucius was born and here his sacred bones lie buried. The tomb, which is located in one of the largest cemeteries in the province, about three miles out from the city above mentioned, is described by the St. Louis Republic as one of the most im posing in the whole empire. The grave itself is surmounted by an' earth mound about twelve feet in height, the whole surrounded by a cluster of gnarled oaks and stately cypress trees. Before the mound is a tablet about six feet broad and twenty feet high, upon which is inscribed the names and deeds of the great founder of Confucianism, a religion adhered to by over four hun dred million human beings. The bur den of this inscription, according to reliable translation, is "Perfect One," "Absolutely Pure," "Perfect Sage," "First Teacher," "Great Philosopher," etc. The avenue which' leads up to the philosopher's tomb is even more in teresting than the actual place of burial ' itself. On each side of this avenue are rows of huge animals cut in stone lions, tigers, elephants and horses, beside numerous mythical creatures, such ' as animals half dog and half frog, beasts with four legs and twice as'many wings,besides a mul titude of unnamable monsters that never lived on the earth, in the water or in the air. Taken altogether . the burial place of Confucius is one of the chief spots of interest in the orient. State of Ohio, City of Toledo, Lucas County. I 8S Frank J.

MIDWINTER FAIR. ; An incident occurred in connection with the Midwinter International Expo sition a few days ago which furnished an interesting commentary on its interna tional character, and which established in an unmistakable manner the fact that this great fair follows, in many respects, the lines laid down by its illustrious predecessor on the shores of Lake Michi gan, and that at the ' same time, it pos- esses an individuality which will give it a prominent place ia the future history of the expositions of the World. One of the most prominent concess ional features of the exposition has been the Wild Animal Arena .where Colonel E. Daniel Boone has been giving per formances with lions and other animals, which is said by those who have seen both to surpass the famous show given by Hagenbeck on the Midway in Chi cago. Boone had an assistant in this work in the person of Carlo Thieman, a brave,' bold tamer of lions, who was only less familiar and less foolhardy, if one may use that word, than -Boone himself, in his associations with these big beasts. But, one' night last week, Thieman entered the den of the lions to prepare them for their -usual appearance in the Arena, when suddenly the lights went out. Parnell, the biggest of the lions, fearful perhaps of some danger which he could not see, made a savage attack on the keeper. The other Hons fell to with him and poor Thieman was. at their mercy in a moment. Boone, the master of the beasts, forced his way into the cage with a crowbar and beat the angry lions back, but not until Thieman had sustained such injuries that his death followed on the morrow. It was Thieman's funeral that fur nished the commentary at the opening 'of this letter. It was certainly a most impressive scene. Poor- Thieman did not. have a .relative in all this great America, but his employer, Boone, was his warm personal friend, and all who worked with him admired his courage and his personality. Thus it came about that the funeral .of the lion tamer was so notable. It took place in the animal Arena. AJsection of the great iron cage which shuts off. the performing space from that reserved for visitors, had been removed, and through this opening the coffin was carried. A bier had been made of some of the material which is used for the lions to do their acts upon, and here laid the dead tamer in the midst of a group of his associates, while the solemn burial service was read by a local clergyman. , . Every seat in the vast arena was occu pied,' and there were hundreds who wanted to get in but could not.' On the back row of seats, stretching, almost around the auditorium were Tndians from the Sioux exhibit. . Each warrior was in paint and feathers, but their bows. were unstrung, and all carried themselves with the quiet dignity which always marks an Indian when a cere mony is being performed. Near to these were the Indians from the banks of the Yaqui river, and a delegation., from the Esquimau village. Half a dozen of the Turkish dancers had come across the South Drive to mingle with the crowd at the funeral. A company of South Sea Islanders were there, and a quartette of native Hawaiian singers furnished the music for the occasion, singing in their native tongue words set to old, fa miliar hymns. A big Cossack stood down in front with his shaggy head overtopping all his neighbors. Swarthy Mexicans from the '49 Mining Camp sat, sombrero in hand, and heads bowed down, and dark-eyed senoritas shed tears of sympathy as they sat among the mourners. Ic was an interesting com pany of people and such an one as had probably never before assembled on a similar occasion. A band of 50 pieces occupied a posi tion out of sight of the audience and its music came to the ears of those present in a somewhat muffled tone. But there were other muffled tones that fell upon the ears of this funeral gathering during the exercises, ' which were neither so sweet nor so pleasing, but which brought a terrible reminder of what had caused this polyglot assemblage. The cages of the animals are located under the raked seats of the amphitheatre, and the beasts became restless as-the hour for their usual performance passed by and they were not summoned to play their part. The big lion whose paw had dealt the fatal blow to poor Thieman, growled and roared at - intervals all during the clergyman's address, and when the music of the band suggested to these knowing creatures that there was a crowd in the Arena, they seemed to unite in' a chorus of protest and disap proval. Strong men shuddered at the suggestion conveyed by these loud mouthings. Women shed tears and some of them were so overcome with fear and emotion that they passed hur riedly out of the auditorium. . It was a scene that will never , be. forgotten by those present. Then came a procession through the grounds. A cordon of guards occupied the right of line. Back of them marched the . band, playing a funeral march. Keeping step to this slow rythm walked the Indians, the Turks, the South Sea Islanders, and all the representatives of the different concessions, who had turned out to honor the memory of the dead lion tamer. The hearse was cov ered with floral offerings. Hundreds connected with the' exposition walked in the long line that reached from one end of the grand court to the other and that wound its way., between the beautiful industrial palaces, out to the plrce where dust was to be returned to dust.. Yet this, was but an incident. The next day the lions roared in the Arena again, and happy crowds of men, women and children rapturously applauded. 'It was .only a drop in the great sea of events on which the California Midwin ter International Exposition is sailing, and it has been given prominence simply as one of the characteristic features of the fair. .

Six or eight dogs are used on each sledge. They are fed only once ia twenty-four hours, and that .is in the morning before the start is made and after the dags are in harness. At that, time about four pounds of frozen fish are given to them. Everything must be in readiness for the start, and the men must look to it that they are at hand to jump on the sledges, for at the very instant that the last morsel of fish disappears the dogs .are off at a break heck speed. Strange as it may seem the drivers do not dare to feed the dogs unless they are in harness. Otherwise they would scatter, and nothing more' would be seen of them-' They are driven with one long rein attached to the leaaer. A whip with a very short handle and a very long lash is used to urge them on, though in most cases they need no urging, for they seem to feel that the faster they go the quicker they will come to the -post, where food and warmth and a lazy life await them. They travel often as far as ninety miles a day. WOOD'S PHOSPHODINE. The Great EnslUh Remedy.

The Kangaroo Rat. ; One of the queerest little animals of the antipodean wilds of the paradox ical continent of Australia is a little zoological 'oddity which the, naturalists have called the kangaroo rat. It aver ages no larger than the common rodent of the Norway 'variety, but is a minia ture kaiigarc in every respect. Their modc of . locomotion -.is precisely the same as that of Macropus giganteus. Besides this, the female carries .its young in pouches which nature has provided for that purpose, and in manv respects imitates the habits and char acteristics of its gigantic relative.
