Gov. Pennoyer, bearing that President
Cleveland bad began to study up finan
cial questions, had the nerve to mail
him a copy of bia Koaebnrg speech. .
' Editor Stead's airy -assumption that
be is competent .to say what the founder
of Christianity would think and say and
do if He came to one place or another is
just a trifle offensive to people who have
any real reverence for the Christian
faith.
On the 8th inst. Mr. Mitchell df Ore
gon presented petitionsof sandry citizens
of Pendleton, Corvallis, Eugene, Spring
field, The Dalles, Antelope and Portland
all in the state of Oregon, praying that
federal society and college journals be
admitted to the mails as second-class
matter.
The New York Herald says editorially :
"If an election were held now. the dem
ocrats would be swept from power by a
tidal wave of popular indignation such
-as the country has not seen for twenty
years." The Herald need not be afraid
that the intensity of the wave will be
diminished by waiting two years longer.
It will be rather greater. It will take a
little more than 'one year's experience to
change some of the. old "wheel-horses,"
though they are coming home already
in a very satisfactory manner.
- Populists are free traders, -notwithstanding
what an occasional orator may
eflsy to the contrary." Their national
rplatform declares it. The party votes
-with the democrats, at the polls and in
congress, goes into .partnership with the
-democrats in the nomination of state
.. and county candidates for 'office, and
. .pets and cajoles the prohibitionists, an
. other free trade party, while there are
i no words strong enough by which they
. can condemn the republican party, the
-only political organization that resolves,
, speaks, works and legislates for a pro
tective tariff law. Independent.
The Scandinavian system of regulating
the hqnor traffic, known as the
Gothenburg system, is the next plan
that will be vigorously attempted in the
United States.' Prohibition and high
license have been tried in different
eections of the country, and for brief
periods, without finally solving .the
liquor Question. Gothenburg's system
is now likely to .be tried, firs per
haps in the state of Massachusetts.
This system eliminates the possibility of
personal profit from the sale of liquor
and throws many restrictions around it
The income is used for various public
purposes, and the sale of liquor is under
the direct supervision of responsible
men" of. high character. . Social re
formers in every - part of the conn
try are ' giving it close study with
' reference to our American ' condi
tions. An ardent believer in his
system is Dr. E. R. L. Gould, who is
one of our foremost students of social
subjects, and who last year went to Nor
way to make personal ' study of this
system. Dr. Gould writes in the March
number of The Forum a definite explan
- ation of how it would work when applied
to American conditiens.
LITERARY NOVELTIES.
"He who runs may read." Diction
aries embracing all the words com
monly used, and small enouarh for the
waistcoat pocket, are now being sold
in little silver cases which may be at
tached to a watch chain.
In his new volume of "Anton Notcn-
quetscher," Moszkowski tells the tale
of a composer who sent a new piece
. to five different critics, in each case
with a different title: . "Prometheus,''
"Columbus," "Romeo." "Bismarck-
Each critic recognized in the MS. sent
him patent allusions to events in the
life of the supposed hero.
LATEST IN LITERATURE.
"Wee Ones of Japan" is the title of a
new book by Mrs. Mae St. John B ram-
hall that is likely to prove popular.
A series of articles by Octave Thanet
describes the many different types of
Americans she saw tyhile visiting the
Chicago fair. "
Thebe is said to bo but one British
house remaining where the old feudal
custom is observed of guests and serv
ants all dining- together on Christmas

A DESPOTIC RULER.-
Til Stomach Not .Easily IHstbroned When
Once It Obtains Mastery. -
One of the greatest misfortunes that
can happen to a man in his earthly ca
reer is to discover that he has a stom
ach. He may know it theoretically or
recollect the lessons in phj'siology of
his schoolboy days, but according to
the San Francisco Chronicle, when he
finds out by actual, personal , experi
ence that he has a stomach he. is to be
pitied. The whole science of gastrono
my and it is a science has been de
vised and perfected for the benefit of
the men who have made this discovery.
All the studies of the whole glittering
galaxy of gastronomists, all the -culinary
triumphs of the great restaurants
in the capitals of the world, are due to
the simple fact that men have found
out that they have stomachs, and that
that organ, when once . discovered,
must be petted and . flattered and
soothed, and kept in good humor to
prevent its revolting and creating rev
olution and civil war. It is safe to say
that the primitive man never knew
that he had a stomach. .It has been
reserved- for civilization to make the
discovery, and it is by no means a fore
gone conclusion that civilization
should pride itself upon having done so.
The maxim that one never enjoys a
good dinner until after it has been
eaten is a refinement of modern and
degenerate days, . containing much
sound philosophy from a certain
standpoint, but that standpoint is a
fictitious and mistaken one. There is
no natural reason why a dinner, good
or bad, should be enjoyed. The one
object of eating is to satisfy hunger,
and that being done, the dinner
should be forgotten. It is only the im
perious and arbitrary stomach which
insists- upon a further recognition of
its claims, and it is only human weak
ness which submits to its demand. A
modern philosopher, in terse though
inelegant diction, has laid down this
maxim, which is almost idiomatic:
"You must down your litomach or
your stomach- will down you." There
is more in this than will meet the eye
of the casual reader. The stomach may,
as certain of the ancients believed, be
the real seat of the emotions, passions
and affections, but we make a great
mistake if we subordinate the ego to
a single organ, and especially to one
which is'only toojreadytolpresume upon
the favor shown it and the - license
given it. Healthy children know noth
ing about their stomachs, except that
they ache sometimes if called on to do
double duty, and there is nothing so
healthy and happy in the world as a
healthy child. If children of a larger
growth could but ignore the gastric
organ o. forget it, dyspepsia would be
come a lost disease, and all the evils
that follow in its train would disap
pear. DOES NOT LIKE CEREMONY.
The Sultan of Turkey Receives Visitors In
Simple Stylo and Lights Their Cigarettes.
The correspondent of an English pa
per was recently accorded an interview
by the sultan of Turkey, 'and was sur-'
prised at the noticeable, lack of cere
mony with which he was received.
When the newspaper man entered the
royal presence he found his majesty
standing ready to receive him. The
descendant "-of Mahomet II. 'and of
Selim had no rich turbans, no jeweled
robes, no ornaments, nothing that dis
tinguishes princes from ordinary peo
ple in the cast, except the true orna
ments of the noble and well born, po
lite bearing and refined expression.
He appeared -a perfect European
prince, if anything politer and simpler
than ordinary men. His majesty has
even. "cast off the aigrette which his
predecessors wore with the fez. There
were no intricate ceremonies to be
gone through as at the reception of the
great mogul or at other eastern courts.
There were no attendants present as
are invariably to be. seen in the private
rooms of eastern princes. "Sentiment
and tradition, . says the correspon
dent, "compelled me to do homage to
-the caliph like an oriental, with a
bow. As ' soon as the formality was
gone through his majesty shook hands,
took his seat and desired me to be
seated. The sultan was dressed plain
ly, wearing no orders, stars or decora
tions of any kind. He is very fair, has
a round head plentifully' covered with
grizzly gray hair, and possesses strik
ing features.". The interview was of
'the most chatty, and friendly charac
ter, the sultan showing -marked ac
quaintance with literature, especially
that of the east, and his information
on general subjects is - extensive.
When the correspondent arose to take
his leave the Turkish ruler put his
hand on the visitor s head and gave
him by that act the caliphal blessing.
With the multifarious duties that
he has to perform his majesty prays,
according to ' the . Mohammedan cus
tom, five times a day with the regular
ity of a clock. He fasts for thirty
days during the month of the Kama
dhan. He abstains from all kinds of
alcoholic beverages and. from gamb
ling. . He patronizes religious and
moral institutions not only among bis
own people but among all the Moham
medans of the world. Moreover, he
does not confine his charity to the poor
and needy of his own religion, but, ac
cording to the dictates of the Koran,
he helps the deserving irrespective of
their religious beliefs. He allows tol
eration to the highest degree, and is
himself anything but a bigot. He
is a great patron of learning of all
kinds. - ;
A Wonderful Tunnelr
The cities of Worsley and St. Helens,
in north i England, are sixteen miles
apart, yet they are- connected by the
most wonderful canal in the world. A
tunnel has-been cut through the great
vein of coal which underlies the whole
of Lancashire, and this, filled with
water from the drainage trenches of
that great system of mines, makes a
remarkable underground canal; in
which the water is constantly five- feet
deep. This canal- is provided with a
regular system of coal boats, which are
constantly moving thousands of tons
of the bituminous fuel 1 between the
two cities, I " ; 'f. '. ' ' -: -
STRANGELY CHRISTENED.
Some Instances of the Queer Kanui Given
to Aecro Chudnn.
It is nothing new that the colored
people of the south are as fond of large
names as of bright colors, but the St.-
Louis Globe-Democrat- furnishes two
or three new and comical examples.
The writer says: - . .
I knew an old negro in Tennessee
who rejoices in the name of Niagara
Falls. His companions have shortened
it to ' Nigger Falls, but he was.really
christened after the great cataract.
I also knew a colored woman who
proudly tells yon that her name is
Virginia Georgia Alabama South.
Another, who enjoys the cognomen of
Amanda June Day is a school-teacher,
and signs her -name A. Jnne Day.
In a Mississippi town 1 was passing
along a side street, when "a coal-black
negress came out of a door shouting:
Glory! Glory Hallelujah!" I thrruertrt
she was crazy, and stopped to see what
she would do next. . .
She looked around a moment, and
then repeated her call, louder than be
fore. This time I. beard the answer
from behind a fence.
"Yere 1 is, ma'am. What yo' want?"
"Nebber you min what I want: you
come here."'
Immediately there appeared from
behind the fence one of the blackest
piccaninnies I ever saw, and on inquiry
I learned that his name was Glory
Hallelujah Tones.
The Beginning of Manhood in China.
When one sees a lad in China with
his head shaved one may be sure that,
however boylike he may look, he has
put aside all .the things of youth and
become a man." In fact, this event
is celebrated in the household with
great solemnity, for entrance upon
manhood is a grave matter for the
boys of the flowery land. Invitations
are sent to the friends and relatives to
a family gathering, and each is expect
ed to bring a present in, money for
choice for the hero of the hour. The
boy himself is dressed, in . fine silk
robes and perfumed with spices. When
everyone has arrived the father makes
a. speech in honor of the occasion, tne
presents are given and then a Chinese
priest shaves the boy's head to prepare
the way for the pigtail,- which marks
the man of the Celestial empire.
