CURSE OF BOOMERS. Hooniors are a curse to any region, They cause reactions that are perma nently damaging to the country for vhich they operate. During the past tew years, many efforts have been made to induce Bottlers to come from the east, and now the results are showing. People are flocking to the Pacific coast, and many of them aever should have left their former fcoiuea. Healthy immigration movements are desirable. Legitimate move ments of liome seekers are calculat ed to build up the west and bring benefits to those who come. But, floods of excited people rushing to a new region with exaggerated no tions of wonderful opportunities are baneful, indeed. There is a romantic conception of the great west in the minds of east erners that may easily be developed into dreams of El Dorados wherein " Sold is plentiful aud wealth lies ready ior the taking. To accentuate set tlers' movements by playing upon this romantic idea to injure the west and the settlers, too. People who tell easterners of wheat lands from which CO and SO bushels are commonly taken, are a curse to the country described and the peo ple to whom they talk. Stories of five and six crops of wheat gathered from one sowing are lies in their very essense. Crops of CO and SO bush els would make eyes bulge out in any portion of the west. All of these ac counts exaggerated and in no sense true are doing more to bring unhappl ness to eastern people who believe them than could be done in any other manner. If tb.e Pacific coast were to appoint a board of suppression of contain of those boomers excellent ie3ults would be attained. GENERAL MILES' FIGHT. Nelson A. Miles has engaged in a tight for reform of nrmy control. He otauds for some very positive princi pies, and they are not in agreement with those that are operative at "Washington. He desires to preserve the military character of the military establishment, a reasonable proposi tion, and one susceptible of no ad Terse logical treatment. Ho would eliminate bureaucracy, and bureau- -cracy certainly should be eliminated We had an Illustration of It in the handling of the Schley case, in which Secretary Long and others exhibited prejudice at the time of the Santiago battle and subsequent to it. It is In the navy, It is In the army. It per meates the departments of Washing ton, and lowers the efficiency of the work of all the government. Miles has issued an ultimatum, and it remains to be seen whether there bo enough of Btrength in the follow ing of the gallant general to effect the reform ho demands. It is likely that the American people will back him In the efforts. VALE, JOE SIMON. It is devoutly to bo prayed that the people of Oregon will bid good bye to Joseph Simon, and relegate him to the obscurity he and his mothods deserve. Ho ImB been a blight upon the name of Oregon. Ho ImB do fcauched voters. He has prostituted the noble right of suffrage to th base Hsea of the schemer. Ho has disre garded cleanliness in politics and grovelled among the lower elements. He has spread disease germs throughout the body politic. He has bought men and sold, has corrupted young voters and debased men of promise. His prizes have been sought by citizens of personal respect, some of whom are above reproach. Hut he has hold his position principally be cause he commanded the social can- f-erous spots in the social organism, and bid them at his will to infect the remainder of the organism. His vic tories have been those of political disorders over political health. His power has been broken. He is just now discredited. May he remain so. May his monumental treachery to those who trusted him in the past operate to brand him as a thing to be avoided by any citizen who re spects himself. His name and ca reer might be utilized by mothers to frighten babies with conjuring him into their presence. SHIP SUBSIDY STEAL. Millions of dollars just how many millions nobody has been able, or wil ling to confess nre to be handed over to a few rich ship owners by the republican congress without return in service to the government. The ship subsidy bill is denounced by some of its democratic opponents in the senate as class legislation. That is a mild characterization. It is worse than class legislation, worse than group legislation. It is ring legislation a plain steal of pub lic money for the benefit of a hand ful of men whose only real claim to the loot is that they want it. This raid on the treasury is made by Senator Hauna and his accomp lices under the pretense that it is its purpose to "build up the American merchant marine." Experience in our own and other countries goes to show that the mer chant marine cannot be built up by the bounty system. But even if it be true that, with the United States treasury to draw on without limit, ships can be multiplied why should those ships be owned by private persons? If the public is to pay for the ships why shouldn't the public own them? Mr. Hanua will be horrified at the suggestion. To his enlightened and conservative mind, government owned merchant ships would mean "Socialism." But it is not socialism, iu Mr. Han na's view, to buy ships with the peo ple's money, and then give them to his friends. And he is right. That is not so cialism. It is robbery. There is every indication that in spite of the thorough exposure made of this ship subsidy outrage by the1 democratic senators, it will be pass ed by the republican congress. Ever" wage-earner in the United State will be taxed to supply the mil lions bestowed under the bill upon such deservig objects of charity as I. Pierpont Morgan. The wage earners of the United States number about fifteen million men, women, boys and girls of ten years of age and over. Their aver age earnings are $100 a year, and on tlie average each wage-earner sup oorts two persons. That is to say that three persons must live on $33.33 a month. After a quarter of the workingmen's wages goes for rent and about half for food and fuel. Thai leaves him about 5S.30 a month for clothing, mednicine, recreation and a savings bank account. Professor Robert E. Ely, secretary of the League for Political Education, in considering these figures taken from the federal census, justly says that "the terms of our economic problem cannot be solved by thrift alone" meaning that the poor in the mass cannot lift themselves from poverty by saving, since on the aver age they don't earn enough to enable them to save anything. And yet this republican congress, led by Mr. Hanna, who lately has been aiming to figure as a special friend of the workingman, proposes to take the scarce pennies from the pockets of the working men, women aud children and put them, to the amount of many millions of dollars, into the pockets of a few men who are iu the transportation business men for the most part already enor mously rich. It is a scheme of pillage at which the whole country would rise in in dignant astonishment had not the while country become used under the nrotectlve system to seeing every taxed to enrich somebody. New York Journal. male incumbents of places nre uncivil 1 and incompetent. .They do littio wont there arc some conspicuous ox ceptioiiE and they nre at liberty to attend the races or other places of amusements whenever they please. A teacher must have spent nt least 15 years of her life in school. She must have received special training for her work training which, per haps, has cost her and her family many sacrifices to pay for. She must have exerted immense political In fluence to obtain a position, and, once appointed she must have worked hard as a substitute. At last, when she became a regular teachor, sue found herself secure of a place which entails much hard work and very meager reward. Tim nvnmco salary of a woman teacher in the public Bchools of this city are about ?70. Men teachers get a good deal more, but many ov them are principals or in the High schools. In the night schools where the work is hard and the nerve strain exhausting on account of the back wardness and unruliness of many of the pupils, the women teachers are paid only ?50 per month. Now a school teacher must live on a plane of gentility, must dress fair ly well, and has a right to have a comfortable home, good food and rea sonable amusements. If she has de pendent relatives, her labor should bring enough to support them. What can she do with 570 per month? Board and lodging will not cost her less than $35 a month, if she lives in a good-class boarding house, and if she keeps house with relatives her expenses will be about the same. The remaining $35 must buy her clothes, her books, her vacation trips, must pay her doctors' and dentists' bills, and must cover the thousand little charges, foreseen and unforseen, which lengthens a list of expendi tures. Out of this $35, too, she must make provision for old age. How many teachers, one may wonder, save $100 a year? How many, dying, leave ' estates of $3000 or more? A competent teacher ought to re ceive not less than $100 per mouth after two years' experience, and the teachers in the night schools should be paid as well as the day teachers, the very great anxiety and difficulty of her work more than balunve the advn i(.!g in point of hour With higher was the f aher will give better work. Pedagogy is a re cognized profession, and its practi tioners should be paid with some con sideration of the costly preparation they have had and the degree of cul ture they may exhibic. , True, teachers in San Francisco have better" salaries than are paid in other large cities outside of New York. According to the latest re port of the United States Commis sioner of education, the avev.-fj year ly salary of men teachers is S'J2S.S0, and of women teachers $274.G0. But the figures are a disgrace to the Unit-1 ed States. Cities should not estimate the value of a teacher at the lowest , wage she will take, but should calcu-, late what she is aud what she ac-' complishes. San Francisco Bulletin.

H. Stnbenvoll, of Elkhorn, Wis., is pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran St. John's Church of that place. Rev. Steubenvoll is the possessor of two bibles presented to him by Emperor William of Germany. Upon the fly leaf of one of the bibles the Emperor lias written in his own handwriting a text. This honored pastor in a recent letter to the Peruua Medicine Co., of Columbus, O., says concerning thoir famous catarrh remedy, Peruua The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbus, O.: Gentlemen: "1 had hemorrhages of the lungs for a long time, and all despaired of me. 1 took Peruna and was cured. It gave me strength and courage, and made healthy, pure blood. It increased my weight, gave me a healthy color, and I feel well. It is the best medicine in the world. If everyone kept Peruna in the house it would save many from death every year. " Yours very truly, REV. H. STUBBNVOLL. Thousands of peoplo have catarrh who would be surprised to know it, because it has been called some other iiamo than catarrh. The fact is, catarrh is catarrh wherever located; and another fact which is of equally great importance, is that Peruna cures catarrh wherovor located. Catarrh Is an American disease. Fully one-half of tho people nre alllictcd more or less with it in some form. Previous to the discovery of Peruua, catarrh was the introduction of Peruna to the medical profession thousands of cases are cured annually. Mr. W. D. Smith, a well-known grocer of Port Huron, Mich., writes : "By following your instructions and taking Peruua and Manalin I am cured of catarrh. I had catarrh for twelve years and quito a bad cough so I could not sleep nights. I do not havo any cough now, and if I feel anything in tho throat I take a swallow of Peruua and I considered well nigh incurable. Since am alright." W. D.

Beyond Question the teachers nr the best educated, the most intolli- :ont and the hardest worked boriv nf employes in the city government. rornaps ror that reason they receive salaries about equal to the salaries of janitors. In every department of tho city are leisurely male persons, without spec ial education or talentB, whoso poli tical sagacity has landed them in places of ease and entitled thorn to salaries ranging from $125 to $200 por month. In many cases these Harrison E. Selfrldge, a well-known j Spokane citizen, believes he has fal-, len heir to $500,000 left him by a cousin dead in Spain. The story reads like a romauce. The features are a disinherited son, who remained true to the woman of his choice, despite the opposition of his family; a fort une made by an American In the Old World; and of a violent death through police persecution and murder in Spain.
