Wo think they strain very hard
sometimes to get up sensational
Items. Wo nro not nlwuys sure that
n thing is truo when wo rend it in n
Portland dally. Wo fear that their
enterprise nnd energy carry them
so far that thoy often publish items
of " nows" thnt no ono on enrth over
would hear of If it wcro not for their
" energy," nnd thnt no ono on earth
over will believe, though it has over
so many sensational headings. And
the cheekiest pnrt of their wholo per
formance is that they locate most of
their heartrending and tear spilling
tragedies and side splitting comedies
i right In our own neighborhood, and
! then expect us to swallow their "sen
sational stuff" without a question.
Ye " enterprising" and friendly Lo
cals, wo can't do it; and we "have

Congress has been nt work title
week on tho details of legisintion,
pussing the appropriation bills and
attending to what moves tho wheels
of government, the providing
money to carry It on.
I Ui:i)lT Mllllll.lKlt.
The most Interesting topic of gener
al conversation Is the development
In relation to tho Credit Moblller of
America. Tho evldenco tnken so
far has been contradictory ; many
lending members of Congress who
have been accused of taking stock in
that profitable concern havo plainly
elenred themselves. Spcnkcr Ulnlne
clearly nutl specifically denies that
ho hnd tho most remote connection
with It, cither In person or through
nny one else. Tho Vice President
did own $2,001), ornt least paid $500
towards purchasing thnt much stock,
nnd a foy wcoks niter withdrew
from all connection and lost his pny
meiit already iiinde. There are a
few cases where members of Con
gress did own nnd drew dividends
on the stock nnd tho fact will serious
ly embarrass them, hut It Is satis
factory to have o much of tho evi
dence exculpate our public mcu.
Tho times tiro considerably out of
joint nt tho best however, nnd the
morning papers say that McCouib,
tho private mover Iu making these
charges, promises a now batch of de
velopments that shall implicate
mnny lending men in nnd out of
Congress. Wo shnll see.

The Committee on appropriations
have been Investigating tho proposed
measure of postal telegraphy, nud
tho reports of tho Investigation are
spiced with n sharp contest of words
between the Postmaster General and
Mr. Orton, tho champion of the telo-
graph companies.
The Postmaster General, Mr. Cre.
well, urge tho measure gn',antly
and no doubt dlslntercste'.Viy. There
Is great Interest felt in tho measure
by the public, nml its importance to
tho peoplo nt largo can hardly be
estimated. Telegraph stock Is about
tho best paying Investment of all,
and of course tho enterprising men
who conduct tho business are anx
ious to retain it. The energy of the
Postmaster General in pushing bl
measure, shows independence of the
vast monopoly, and the people should
