The following campaign poem waa composed by a 15-year-old schoolboy of The Dalles' who evidently keeps up with the times. -' ' Sing a song of nickels, - I'eople got no'cash ; Debtors in a pickle. Credit gone to smash: ' Lawyers making money, " By a pettv fee. Oh! but don't it differ , From 18!3. V - Cleveland is a dandy, , A daisy I should say. Such a man as he is Would do better making hnv. But the oftice must be tilled with Wise men, calm and cool, The people should be careful And not elect a fool. Then following his election Came "statesmen," many score And other bands of cranks . To oppress us more and more. What a dandy start we've cot For 1891. Cleveland's gone a hunting For poor and harmless "bunny," And all the time is thinking How to enthrone his honey. Two years more of patience, And the country will survive Catastrophes to happen ' In 1895. . Now let us cease our growling. Have our minds prepared and fixed ; We are bound to right our foil)-, Jn 1896. ... W. D. "Wall street is the only power on earth 'that can keep a populist platform silent on the silver question.' The silence of that platform seems to be golden. Alas, we fear1 the platoa have muzzled the pops! Klamath Star. The silence. of the populist platform on the silver question is ominous. Have the gold-bugs got in' their work or are all the populists fiat money men?' If the Oregon City platform is. the best re sult of keeping in the middle -of the road, the populists ought to take to the . '-sidewalk. A careful reading of the nptatform conveys the impression that it "" is -a spread-net to catch the next legisla ture. It makes no difference who draft- ed the platform, it has for its ulterior purpose th.9 election of Governor Pen- noyer to the United States senate, and for all practical purposes the Oregon 'City convention might as well have ad hered to its original intention of nomin ating the governor for senator. As the .campaign progresses his personality will loom up over the ticket and the plat form. Telegram, Col. Watterson, The stalwart editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal an4 the thief architect of the free trade plank in the Chicago democratic platform, is a ood story teller. . "The Wilson bill,", fiays Col. Watterson, "reminds me of an incident that once happened in Louis ville A well-known local gambler thought he had a good thing in a stranger who appeared upon the scene loaded with money. He was induced to play a game I think called draw poker and when the opportune moment arrived the Louisville man dealt the stranger four jacks and himself four queens. The bet ting began, and when . all their money was up and it came to a showdown the stranger displayed four kings. 'Take the money,- stranger,' gasped the aston ished native as he fell in a fit. 'Take the money ! But that wasn't the hand I dealt you.' So with the Wilson bill. . ' It is not the hand the Chicago convention dealt the democratic, party and which the people of the United States backed with their votes." The "industrial movement" on the . national capital is a picturesque failure nothing moie. It is significant only by reason of its negative quality. Out of the winter gloom and depression two cheering truths have reared themselves as monuments; the government of the United States has come unscathed through a crisis severe enough, in the estimation of timid souls and foreign on lookers, to wreck it. 'The American workmgman has demonstrated his won derful 'patience, pluck, patriotism and self control, and the American nation has shown magnificent depths of human ' fellowship and generosity. Belief has been extended with bounteous hand, . and rather than deny the worthy poor, the public has fed, clothed and warmed a host of idle and vicious pretenders. God reighs and the ' government at Washington still exists. Our ship of . state has come out of the hurricane with, hardly a seam opened or a sail torn. This moderation is the more admirable because the strain has been real and prolonged. The winter of 1893-4 has been the worst known in "American history. Millions have lost their savings, and millions will lose their homes. Bat they will not join Coxey's army of dis contents, because they know that' noth ing beneficial can come out of the move ment. That way lies trouble to the gov ernment and disappointment to the marchers. To recuperate we must rekindle the fires of hope and energy. and resume' the struggle of existence sifting from : the chaff the kernels of dearly-bought knowledge, and resolving to avoid in the hereafter the mistakes and follies that have hurt ns in the past. We can do more for ourselves than can be done for ua by congress. Spokane Review. ' " LICORICE HARVEST IN SYRIA. Gathered In Sacks and Carried on Camels to the Seaboard for Export. In a series of articles describing' the planting', cultivation, preparation for market and transplantation of licorice root, appearing in the Pharmaceutical Era, there is the following- interesting' descriptive bit: . In digging licorice root in Syria the usual way is to start a trench the length of the place to be dujr overi about two feet in length, and work from that, each man placing in a pile the root he has dug, tand at the end of the day or longer time it is taken to the scales, weighed and paid for at a specified rate per pound. An allowance is always ntade for the dirt that clings to the roots. The root is then spread out for few days to slight ly dry and piled' in stacks about three feet wide and 'four, or five feet high, rounded of! at the top in order to shed rain, and the piles are narrow enough to prevent heating. At the end of the rainy season the root is spread out. to dry for about two months, being turned, over from time to time, during which process all the adhering earth dries and falls off, leaving it clean and ready for transport to the point of shipment. It is then put into canvas sacks, each containing- from two hun dred to two hundred and fifty pounds, two sacks being a load for a camel or a mule. -, For the transportation of the root from the place where dug to the port of shipment, varying from two to five days' journey, a contract ' is usually made with some Arab or Bedouin sheik for a certain amount of cantars (of about five hundred pounds each) at a certain price, he to furnish- camels and men and the owner to furnish and fill the sacks.. About fifty camels go in one caravan or drove, for which five men are sufficient. Sometimes, if one hundred camels are used, the caravan goes 'in sections; Qne man riding1 a donkey leads the first camel and the rest follow the leader, while the other men walk, keeping any camel from straying . or lagging1 too far behind. They usually start early in the morn ing and go ten .or fifteen miles, when a halt is made, the loads are taken off and the camels are allowed, to browse on the thorn or other bushes for three or four hours, then loaded again and about the same-distance traveled, when they are again unloaded and the night is spent in the open air and an early start made the next morning. And so on until the seaboard is reached, where they are unloaded, the root is weighed, the sacks emptied and - returned, to be again refilled, in the fields for another trip. On the Euphrates and Tigris the root is obtained near the banks 'of the rivers and, after being' properly dried, is loaded in bulk on native boats called bugalows, carrying from fifty to one hundred tons,, which float down the river or sail if the wind is favorable, or at times are towed by men as far down as Bassorah, where the root is un loaded and pressed in bales ready for shipment. . 1 Don't You Know? It is not the use of slang which is to be deprecated, remarks All the Year Round, it is the abuse of it. The girl who, every time she opens her mouth, projects - from ' it some such word as "awfully" "awfully' nice," "awfully horrid," "awfully square," "awfully round," and so on, until you wish that she would, at any rate, advance into the alphabet as far .as the b's is not only, a slangy person; she i3 also, in all human probability, a fool. The same civil observation, applies to the man who has become indissolubly joined to some slangy catch . phrase as, -, for instance: "Don't you know" "lie's a nice fellow, don't you know-," "It seems to me to be a queer start, don't you know," "I can't stand clever people, don't you know." We quite realize the truth of his ' last statement without his putting himself to the - trouble of giving it audible utterance, just as clearly as we surmise that it is just possible that clever people can't stand him.

Some of the Source of Income Upon ... Which the Head of the Soman Church Baa to Depend - -x - Have Patle'd. Since the heavy losses made by, the pope a year or more ago the finances ' of the Vatican have been superintended with great care. It is known, says a Paris paper, that a committee of pre lates and several cardinals exist at Rome whose duty it is to regulate the use of the sums of money which flow into the treasury of the Vatican. These sums come principally from .two sources: The revenues of the property possessed by the pope and the gifts of the faithful known as Peter's pence. The property of the Vatican is of various kinds, but1 the greater part of it consists of - money and bonds placed in England and Fance, under control of the Paris house of Rothschild. Pe ter's pence is an annual revenue which is far from being fixed. In good years the total of the sum received from all countries of the world reaches 8,000,000 francs. Sometimes it is as low as 6,000,000 and even 5.000,000. This has been the case for the last five years. This diminution is due in great part to the discord between the royalists and the French Catholics produced by the republican policy of .the pope. France alone furnished two thirds and often three-quarters of Peter's pence. And in France it is the royalists who prove themselves most generous. But since the adhesion of Leo XIII. to . the republic many of them, more royalist than Catholic, have closed their purses to the pope. However, despite all this, French bish ops still forward the largest sums to his holiness. Thus the bishop of Nante sent a few days ago 100,000 francs from his flock as their gift to the Vat ican treasury. Italy contributes only a small part of the revenue a few hundred thou sand francs a year. The Romans show themselves in this regard less generous than -other Italians. On the other hand, the Anglo-Saxon countries England, Ireland, Australia and the United, States begin to send impor tant sums. If Catholicism continues to grow in these countries it is easy to see that in time the Vatican will draw considerable sums from them. Again, there are the royal . courts, such as Austria, which send annually rich presents to the pope. This is even true of princes of ancient Italian fam ilies. Francis II., ex-king of Naples, and Marie Theresa, formerly grand duchess of Tuscany, never fail to send their offerings, which consist of sever al thousands of francs. The compte de Chambord was accustomed, to send annually 50,000 francs; the- count of Paris sends the same 6um. The expenses .. of the- Vatican, amount annually to more than 7,000, 000 francs. They are regulated as j follows: For the personal wants of the pope, 500,000 francs; - for the cardinals, 700,000; for poor dioceses, 400,000; administration of the Vatican. 1,800,000; secretary of state, 1,000,000; employes and ablegates, '1,500,000; sup; port of schools and poor, 1,200,000. The cardinals at Rome live at the ex pense of the pope. The income of each from this source is at least 22,000 francs. The secretary of state is charged with upholding relations with . f oreign gov ernments by the mediation of nuncios. The four most important Paris, Vien na, Madrid and Lisbon each receive an allowance of 00,000 francs a year. The last jubilee of Pope Leo XIII. brought to the Vatican 3,000,000 francs. At.the first, celebrated five years ago, 12,000,000 francs were received. In the course of years the pope has introduced a number-of economies in the different branches of the Vatican service and for that reason he has been called miserly. This accusation is not merited; the economies became necessary in a state whose expenses are considerable and whose revenues continue to diminish. Leo XIII. has many reasons to follow the example of his illustrious predeces sor, Sixtus, as it is difficult in the pres ent time to count on the generosity of the faithful. AHEAD OF THE COWCATCHER. How the Electric Headlight Is Now TJsed on Numernua Railroa-da- The electric headlight is now used on many railroads, and W. B. Sparks, who is interested in a southern road, re cently told a writer for the Pittsburgh Dispatch that his company had found it a very profitable investment.- .The lights cost about three hundred and seventy-five dollars each, fixed on the locomotive, - and they cost no more than the oil light to maintain. The old headlight would not throw its light on a very dark night more than one hundred and fifty, feet, and it is impossible for 'an engineer to slow up his ' train in that distance, even with the emergency brake. . Quite an item in the expense of the road used to be claims for cattle killed. During the rainy season the lands along the line of the road become very wet in places they are entirely covered with water and the cattle come upon the track seeking some dry spot on which to sleep. - When the old headlight was in use as many as thirteen cows have been killed at one time and the damage claims have sometimes amounted to over one thousand dollars per month. Now the electric light throws its rays from half to three-quarters of a mile in front of the engine. Obstructions can be easily seen at that distance and some of the engineers .insist that a switch disk can be more easily made out by it at night than in the daytime. The lights, moreover, do away with switch lights, which is quite a saving to roads that use ' them . to any great extent. ' Mr. Sparks 6ays that the en gines using the electric headlights on his road have never killed a cow,, and he is confident that the saving in stock claims alone will more than pay for all the headlights on the road within two years. . - - .
