"WE HAVE BACK OUR DARLING."
The American people are trulv glad
that iliss Stone has been delivered
up by the brigands. If they had ever
experienced that "tired feeling they
certainly did so in Miss Stone's con
nection, for the foreign correspond
ents seemed to consider her capture
the most important thing and her res
cue the most necessary piece of work
left undone.
From a careful calculation a mil
lion or two of dollars were spent in
wiring news, speculative and other
wise, concerning her. By straying
off into that far away country, trying
to convert the heathen, this American
maiden tempted those "brigands with
her beautiful outlines, as shown by
recent pictures of her in the public
prints, among them the East Oregon
ian, beyond human endurance. The
temptation of St. Anthony was in no
sense a patch to it. That we got her
back at all was due to the winsome
ways of the American form of the
Almighty dollar m most generous
quantities.
"Was ten. old flame worth the can
file? may be asked. Undoubtedly
she was, for what would the Ameri
can press have fiilled its columns for
several months had it not bten for

solely in the cause of liberty. The
truth of the matter is, we have got
back our blarney Stone and the ban-
flits have our metal.
And. now, to further excite a pa
tient public. Uncle Sam is going to
use his power to make the Sultan of
Turkey reimburse those who advanc
ed the money, which was used to
bring about the release of Miss Stone.
This is certainly the Stone age, or
the age when men are prone to be
heavy and dense.

the ordinary rules of courtesy was
then followed by the most amazing
disregard of diplomatic etiquette.
Replying to Mr. Phelan's mild pro
test that Chinese coolies must be
kept out to protect American labor,
the excited Wu lost control of himself
completely and exclaimed: "Then
we'll keep the Americans out of Chi
na. We can get along without you.
"What have you got that we must
have?"
It is stated by bystanders that the
excited Wu even went so far as to
shake his fist in Mayor Phelan's face.
The mayor deserves credit for con
trolling himself under the trying cir
cumstances, but Wu deserves "a
swift kick" out of the country. How
ever, we are in the habit of classing
Chinamen with the simple minded
inr children, and beins so mueh su
perior to them in knowledge of the
world, we will have to pass it by with
3 smile, as Mayor Phelan gracefully
did.
Charity for the shortcomings oi
others is. indeed, a great virtue!

GEER AND SIMON.
Governor Geer is betwen the devil
and the deep blue sea. Joe Simon
will easily pass for the" devil, and,
for the deep blue sea, we have only
to offer a figure of speech ' over
nor Geer Is seeking renomination, but
he is carrying around his neck the
political devil of Oregon, who may,
or may not pull him down into the
sea of oblivion.
While everybody is believing that
Governor Geer is entangled with Joe
Simon and his machinations, the Sa
lem Statesman frantically tries .to
prove that the tall and gaunt gover
nor does not even speak to tLittle
Joe" as they pass by, which tale all
the more emphasizes what the peo
ple of Oregon believe. This attitude
of Governor Geer's most important
organ, must be an exceedingly Inter'
esting one to Senator Simon when
he returns to Oregon from his duties
at Washington, to look after his
fences', . which need his attention and
his personal management just now.
The people of Oregon are not pay
ing him for this performance, but
what does Joe Simon care? He is in
politics for himself. Xo others need
apply.
As there are a great many societies
just now advertising to loan money
wvithout iutereaT in Or?on the fol-
following article may be of interest to
those wh6 are "nibbling at the bait,"
preparatory to being caught:
In the Sunday Record-Herald of
Feb. .9 there appeared a communica
tion from Rev. J. H. Runnalls, con
cerning the Bowkett building socie
ties. As the general tone of Mr.
Runnall's communication is favor
able to these societies, and as they
have one feature in common with the
home co-peratives." namely, the pre
tended loaning of money without in
terest, there is danger that his com
munication may be construed as in
dorsing the "home co-operatives."
The Bowkett building societies, or
rather that modification of them
which prevailed most widely the
"Star Bowkeits" have hn mndp
che subjevi of a great deal of adverse
criticism on the part of the friends
of building societies in Great Britain.
They belong to the class known as.j
"terminating societies." They make;
a pretens-i, Vt lci.t, of loaning men- j
ey without interesL In bis testimony j
before the royal commissioner in
1S72 Dr. Bowkett makes this rather
bewildering statement concerning
his system: "The great priciple
which lies at the bottom of it is the
accumulation at compound "nterest
of money lent without interest."
JDavis, Building Socet; . Boston.
18S7, p. 29.)
Some of these societies allotted
their loans or appropriations by bal
lot, others granted the appropriations
alternately by ballot and by sale,
while still others made their appro
priations by sale. (Encyc Brit.,
ninth ed., iv.-514.)
Where the right to an appropria
tion was offered at sale to the high
est bidder the primiums bid and
deducted from the loan was plaintly
interest money, and only by the flim
siest quibbling could it be claimed
that the loans were made without in
terest. -
Allotting the Tight of an advance by
ballot was the feature that called
forth the most vigorous protest. In
an action for libel against a gentle-:
man who had denounced the appropri- j
auon as a lottery, it was snown mat

erctive society during the long, i
dreary dreary years in which he is
waiting for the time when his number
will entitle hi mto a loan. But the
disapiolutment to the unlucky would
be equally crushing in either case.
The Starr-Bowkett society, it seems,
allowed withdrawals, though uot on
very favorable terms; but it was
doubtful whether any of them went to
the extent of handing back a solitary
dollar to the delinquent subscriber
and keeping the rest of his contribu
tions for their trouble, as some of the '
Home Co-operatives threaten to do.
In the foregoing and perhaps in
other respects the Starr-Bowketts j

the Home Co-Operatives, but at best j

" For years I have unfortunately found
my system in a peculiarly receptive con
dition for catarrh when I was exposed
in any way to inclement weather. At
those times 1 would be severely afflicted
with la grippe and its unpleasant con
sequences. "Now for the past year and a half I
have used Peruna in such cases and have
found that it not only cures me quickly,
but it also cleanses my blood and ren
ders me less liable to catch cold. It is
the finest preventative of colds that I
know of and a very superior tonic."
Anna Russell.
Miss Emily Milburne, President of the
Westside Young Woman's Club, No. 1j2
West Congress street, Chicago, 111.,
writes of several members of the club of
which she is president, who have had
the Grip and have been quickly restored
to health by Peruna.
Mr. Nicolas F. Rossiter, of -J33 Nor

attack of the Grip, was very sick and
under the physician's care. He, like
many others, passed the acute stage but
did not receive strength. Peruna not
only quickly restored him to his former
health, but lo much better health than
he has had for years. He gives Peruna
all the praise.

the Grip by Peruna.
Hon. Charles W. Culkin, Alderman of
the Seventh Assembly District of tho
Borough of Manhattan, residing at 45
Eighth avenue, New York, writes that
he was laid up several days with the
Grip. On the fifth day he was advised to
try Peruna. He did so and found him
self better within twenty-four hours.
This remedy soon resCored him to hW
usual vigorous health.
Mr. Hartin Edwards, President of the
County Clare Men's Benefit Society, 523
West Forty-Ninth street, New York,
writes that he was cured of the Grip by
a short course of treatment with Peruna.
Miss Blanche Dumont, President of

Nothing helped hor until she tried Pe

La Grippe is epidemic catarrh. Pe
