J'ANDARVS AND CllESSID.
It will be willi n feeling of relief
that the people of this state will read
of the adjournment of the legislature
and Hint the curtain has dropped on
the farce. Elected on a platform
pledging the Icqislnlurc toy the strict
est economy, its ninety members
met at Salem, but many of them
avoided the capitol. The senate or
gani.ed and undertook to du busi
ness. The house attempted to or
ganize and the majority of the Re
publican members and two of the
Democrats, mindful of their pledges
to the people before election, met
and tried to do the work they were
sent to do. Thirteen Populists,
three bimetallic league members and
two Democrats stayed out, violating
all their anti-election promises, and,
assisted by some seven or eight Re
publicans swore, and still wear, Jot
Simon's collar, prevented the organi
zation of the house.
Hacked by large sums of money,
Jonathan Bourne opened his parlors
and invited the Hies into it. The
thirteen Populists to a man walked
in, and there they have remained,
dead to every sense of decency,
deat to the demands of their con
stituents, deaf to the entreaties of
taxpayers. They surrendered bodily
to their bitterest enemy, the Oregd
nian, that but a few short months be
fore so scathingly denounced them
as socialists, anarchists and repudi
ators. Deluded b' the honeyed words of
praise, uttered by the rotund Mephis
topheles under the big tower, they
swallowed the sweet morsels and
licked their chops for more. Circe
made no worse or lower brutes of
Ulysses crew, than Bourne has of the
motle' job-lot of political pot pourri
whom, with wiue and women, he do
luded to their undoing. As Delilah
shore Samson of his strength, , so
Bourne has snatched the political
olla podrida bald headed. And they,
poor fools, like Snip and his fellow
actors in "Midsummer Night's
Dream," pose before the public with
their lantern and their thorn-bush,
each a bandy-leggcd Py ramus, glu
ing his swollen lips to the hole in the
wall in their wild attempt to kiss Mr.
JJourne's Tlusbe. Bottom was not
more an ass than these, and Bourne,
Simon and the Oregonian, as the au
dience, shout stentonously "Well
roarcJ lion!" "Well run Thisbo!"
But the farce will soon be over.
In one shoit week the curtain will
fall, and instead of Bourne's harem
and his wine shop, the whole aggro
gation of drivelling idiocy will go
home, if its members know enough
to find the road, to face the constitu
ents whom the' outraged, acceler.
ated in their departure by a vigorous
kick from the erstwhile bland Jona-
than.
To the members who so faithfully
remained at their posts the country
owes a vote of thanks. The people
are not deceived by the cry of the
Oregonian that they who were in the
house ready at all limes to organize, j
are the ones who aro responsible for
the hold-up. They know better just
as the Oregonian knows better, but
they have no object in lying about j
it.
The Populists have gotten into
the grave digged for them by their
enemies, and this is tho only redeem,
ing feature of tho whole affair. Tho
result muy after all be beneficial to
the coimliy. Tho Populists as a
party aro not to blanio for the action
of their unlucky thirteen, any more
than tho Republican party is to
lilnmo for the action of its traitorous
contingent. But the result shotvs to
what extent tho Multnomah ring is
willing to debauch its political ene
mies and to befoul its own nest. It
shows what Simony and Scottomy
will lend to. It show tlmt'thc wan
ton Populist, Crcssid, smiles alike on
Troilus and Diomed, and that Pan-
darus has n worthy prototype In the
side-whiskered Jonathan. It- shows
that Thcrsites mnj be as dirty a cur,
though housed in a pressed brick
block, as when spying on the Grecian
camp he poured his bitter-sweet
poison into the ears of his outraged
master.
One can easily imagine the adoles
cent Populists, while toying witlrthe
wily Bourne, repeating Cressid's
touching farewell to the husband she
had just left, as she surrenders her
self to Diomed :
Troilus, farewell! otic eye yet looks on thee;
Yet with my mind my other cyo doth ce.
All! sad our sex, in us this mult I ilnd
The error of tho eye directs tho mind.
What error lends must err,
Oh! then, conclude minds swnyed by cyesnrc
full of turpitude.
Thcrsites' comment completes the
picture.
PASSING
OF THE
WATCHDOG.

Household Protector.
"The place of a watchdog on the. farm
or country place," s:iil State's Attorney
McGuiru the other day, in making some
observations about meul dogs, reports
the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, "might
be very well taken by peacocks and
guinea fowls. 1 long since adopted pea
cocks alone to guard any place, ami
nothing' can come around the premises
night or day without causing an alarm
from thein. They aro more watchful
than any dog I ever owned. -My experi
ence with guineas has not been, so ex
tensive, but I believe they are also
sure to give an alarm, or rather a. good
many alarms, if any strange man or
beast should venture near them by
night or day. Perhaps the days of the
watchdog would be numbered if it were
generally known how well peacocks
and guinea fowls would take his place.
Then, certainly, with fewer dogs there
would not be so ninny eases of hydro
phobia." The statement of Mr. MeOuire as to
the watchfulness of peacocks was borne
out by numerous Howard county farm
ers, among the, number being Comity
Commissioners Hess, Dorseyand Smith,
and ilr. .Tame.s L. llobbs, who superin
tends the farming operations of Sen
ator Gorman. Mr. llobbs stated that he
long ago discovered whal excellent pro
tection peacocks ail'ord about a place,
and down on the senator's farm he al
ways keeps six or eight of them to
guard the premises. So it appears that
peacocks are useful as well as orna
mental. Geology.
The scientific beginnings of geology
are said to linve been treated of in
Chinese works long before the Chris
tian era. Some degree of geological in
formation is displayed in the book of
.Tob, several jwssages of which have
been held to indicate an exact knowl
edge of thedilTerentstrataof the earth.
The science is treated of by Aristotle.
J'hny, and Theophrastus. Geology did
not become what may be called an exact
science until the present century.
