"Tho PopuliBts carried the election at Wallace, Idaho, last Monday." This simple announcement ia a complete commentary on the tendency of these disciples of unrest. Wallace anarchistic Wallace Populist is the same as if the dispatch read, "Pandemonium Popu list." It is a hard saying. Alas, that it should be truel Chrisman Bros, had weighed at tho stock yards two or three days ago tweutv-three head of beeves that aver aged 1,418 poundB each. They were sold to an Astorian party at a price that would have realized overi05 apiece, but! as there was some hitch about the pay merit, Chrisman Bros, sent them back to pasture and will use them iu their own Lusiness later on. "Who haB this tobacco-3,000,000 pounds in Puerto Rico," asks Congress man Cannon and answers : "I will tell you. Tho merchants have it ; and I am told that the tobacco trust of tho United States has it, and sends some of these poor Puerto Rican-American people, if not American people, over here to work for 'a fair show for Puerto Rico." Three million pounds at 35 cents a pound $1, 500,000, If they could import it today they would have that duty to pay." Justice Brewer and Justice Harlan, both members of the United States su preme court, stand side by side in in telligence and ability with the other seven members of that august body, In no particular, however, do these two men show their real greatuees and in terest in humanity any more plainly than when on every Sunday they stand before a large class of young people in the Sunday school and Instruct them in the things pertaining to the better life. With the good feed that this winter has produced on ranges, says tho Lake County Rustler, it would not be surpris ing If tho output of the Oregon sheep for tho year 1900 would run close to 25,000, 000 pounds, and if prices go to tho limit which they now mjciii, this will mean over $5,000,000 that wllfbe brought into the state from outside sources, which will bo over $10 for every man, woman and child in the state. Surely the wool industry is a great thing for the state of Oregon. The municipal elections In Nebraska last Monday resulted in Republican gains all over the state. Iu Lincoln, tho home of the "Boy Orator of the Platte," they swept everything before them. In Kansas tho Republicans were generally successful. In Wisconsin wherever party lines were drawn the Republicans generally won. In Chicago thu Republicans elected nineteen out of thirty-five aldermen. In Missouri "the results on the whole wcro favorable to the Democrats." Texas remains Demo cratic. The following la a summary of the Nsri businees transacted at The Dalles U.

I The Democratic county convention I moots hero next Tuesday. The follow- ing persons are talked of as Democratic ; nominees for the several county ofllces: For sheriff Tom Ward is the only name mentioned. The sumo may be said of Louis Heppner for clerk. For county judge three candidates are talked of, namnlv, George C. Blakeley, S. B. Adams and R. F. Gibbons, For county I treasurer three candidates are spoken I of, namely, II . O. Nielsen, W. II. Web ber and Harry Llebe. For county com missioner the name of W. J. Harriman, of Endersby, is talked of. These are all good men, and if by any species of po litical revolution any ono of them should chanco to squeeze through, the county would probably not suspend businees on. his account. M. B. Smith, Butternut, Mich., says, "DoWitt's Little Early Risers are the very best pills I ever used for coetiveuees, liver and bowel troubles." , Clark & Falk are never closed Sunday Don't forget this.

'Leary, of this city, that ho has had as et no instructions from Washington elative to the pasturage of eheep in the aEcades during tLe coming summer. The captain says: "I eoe that sheep and cattle aro to be admitted to the re serve in Eastern Washington. As sheep are excluded from the reserve north of Wtiite river, there is not the shadow of a reason why they should not go in south of there. The secretary of agri culture Is opposing all sheep crazing, and a number of 'Scientists' are to be sent out this summer to 'investigate' and report. It is not hard to te'l what the report will be. As soon as 1 lit ar what tho decision is I will ask (or a meeting of those interested end make it known to them." CASTOR I A For Infanta and Children.
