Eli Perkins writing to the Inter-Ocean from St. Joseph, Mo., after the recent election, says: "We democrats are in an awful condition in ' Missouri. ' All save honor is lost, and -Breckinridge, Croker and McKane are guarding that." The Oregoafan says: "Coffin manu facture is a' thriving home industry of the Dalles." v The Dalles js neither dead nor sleeping. . It has no use for an in stitution of that kind. Undertaking business will be a profitable one June 5th in some democratic camps of Oregon. Probabl' Dallas, Polk county, is meant. . - The republican party is the friend of the poor man and always has been. The latest instance,. is recorded Saturday. The democrats- and populists combined against the republicans when - Dolpb tried to bring up the senate bill to re imburse settlers on lands within the for feited railroad grants $1.25 per acre, and thus prevented it from . coming to an issue. This is only one instance, out of hundreds where republican measures to benefit the eettler, ' the soldier or the operative has been combatted . by-their political opponents, though there is pleasure in saying this opposition seldom prevails. . ' ,,.-. The republican county ticket is" com posed of men well and favorably known throughout the county and any voter need have no hesitancy about voting the straight ticket when he goes to the polls. To scratch a single name is to register an opinion against the principles of the republican party i, These . principles must be victorious, and it is one of the greatest mistakes to suppose that politics have nothing to do with county officers. A state is composed of counties and the states compose- the nation and' demo cratic supremacy in even a municipality adds juBt that much to the influence and power of that party in the nation. The whole is composed of its parts and it is important that, as far as possible, every part be sound. The inhabitants of eastern cities and towns have thonght that political shade means a great deal, and the way former democratic towns have this year swnng into the republican column has no other meaning than dis satisfaction with the democratic party as a whole. If the towns of Oregon go democratic so will the state. It is con sequently important this year to vote the republican ticket and vote it straight. The republican party has endeavored to 1 induce the people of ' the United .States " to grow' and manufacture their own sugar and not pay high prices for a foreign product which should be grown and sold much more cheaply to 'home consumers VpTheCsudcess of the policy may be judged when it is stated that the production of beet sugar in the United States during 1893, amounted to 44,953, 359 pounds, a large percentage of which was produced in California. The factory at Chino, turned out 15,063,040 pounds, and Almeda 4,486,572 pounds. The Nor folk; Nebraska factory had an output of 4,107,300 pounds, and Grand - Island 1,835,000 pounds. ' Utah and Virginia produced 3,887,100 and 43,995 pounds respectively. There were 200,323 tons of beets consumed, requiring' -24,000 acres of land to produce them. At four cents a pound the sugar was worth $1,320,000, and $S60,000 was received in bounties. Farmers received $900,000, or an average per acre ot $87.50. Oregon has the cli mate and soil -to raise sugar beets' and the industry should be started. ) How Grant Became a Smoker. The following is from -an interview with Colonel .Fredrick D. Grant about hia father, in McCl'ure's magazine for May:; ; " , ' ;''" "My father," said .Colonel Grant, "tried to - smoke' while !at West Point, but only because it was against the regulations ; and then he didn't succeed very well at H. He really got the habit from smoking light cigars and cigarettes during the Mexican war, but it wasn't a fixed habit. When he left the army and lived in the country, he smoked a pipe not incessantly. ' I don't think that he was very fond of tobacco then, and really' there was always a popular misconcep tion of the amonnt of his smoking. But he went on as a light smoker, "a casual smoker, until the day of the fall of Fort Donelson. .Then the gun-boats 'having been worsted somewhat, , and Admiral Foote having been wounded, he;: sent ashore for my father to come and see him. Father went aboard, and" the ad miral, as is customary, bad his cigars passed. Father took one and was smok ing it when he went ashore.' There he was met by a staff officer, who told him that there was a sortie and ' the right wing had been struck and smashed in. Then my father started for the ecene of oper ations. He let bis cigar go out, natur ally, but -held it between his fingers. He rode hither and yon, giving orders and directions, still with the cigar stump in his hand. The result of his' exertions was that Fort Donelson fell after he eent his message of 'Unconditional Surrender,' and 'I propose to move immediately upon your works.' With the message was sent all over the country the news that Grant was smoking throughout the battle, when he only had carried - this stump from Foote's flagship. But the cigars began to come in from all over the Union. He had eleven thousand cigars on hand in a very short time.' He gave away -all be could, but he was surround ed with cigars and he got to smoking them regularly. But he 'never smoked as much as he seemed . to smoke. He He would light a cigar after breakfast and let it go out, and then light it again, and then again let it go ont and light it ; so that the one cigar would last until lunch time." : --..- When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.

The reason for the variation in the weight of dried fruits when packed in large or small packages is the subject oi qd article; in ine voauoa urocer. Currants, being1 semi-dried, pain some what in weight when in bulk, but when packed in small cartons the ten dency is for them to lose weight. Sul tana raisins are cured in boiling' oil and gain weig-ht when in small packages. Valencia raisins arc. cured by being dipped into lye and diminish in weight both in large and small packages. Of course the apartment where the fruits are kept, has something' to. do with it, and the paper constituting the wrap pcr.may gain in weight, one grocer at the seaside .reporting that bis "pound" ' packages weighed seventeen ounces.- .Superstition, i A g-entleman who had -been "dining at a restaurant,- and who often or dered a ;dozen oysters, counted them One day and found but eleven. Still another day he counted them, with the same result. Then he said to the waiter:. . Why do you give me only eleven oysters when I order a dozen?" ; "Oh, sir,", answered the waiter, "I didn't think you'd want to be settih' thirteen at. table, sir!" Youth's Com panion.

How to Use It When Saying- Than Se Yoil" 1 It is to be regretted wholly in the interest of her sex that . the. woman who thanks a gentleman for surrender ing to he'r his seat in the cars does not speak up boldly and cheerfully as if she really meant what she said. ' It has been, long maintained by our foreign critics, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch, that the English language lacki flexibility, nice shades , of mean ing, the quality of expression, com pared to other tongues. But after careful observation ati home and abroad I am satisfied that the lack- of expression is' rather' In Ithe "English speaker than in the language. There are an infinite number of shades of which this little "Thank you" is susceptible, as' anyone about town : knows. It maybe uttered in such a way as to make the blood tingle with indignation. ' It can be said with such grace and sweetness that the re cipient will carry the memory of it 'as the memory of some delicious per fume, or beautiful picture, or sympa thetic strain of music all through the long day of business cares. For such a reward as this thousands of men have suffered nn complaining, have en dured the tortures of the inquisition, have fought,- bled and died upon the battlefield. It would seem a very sim ple thing, but ' the . graces and politeness-and gentleness of speech which distinguished-the women- of the chiv alric age are now almost wholly un known. '"'.. When women talk" of the jlecay of chivalry in men they ' forget that men are what women make them. Men are the exact reflection of their mothers and sisters and wives. Through the history of the men of the past we have accurate knowledge of the character of the women of that time.- -As it is impossible, for the fountain ' to -rise higher than its source, so it is impossi ble for men to rise higher than their mothers, their sweethearts, wives and sisters.
