The corporations iwlll pay", taxes

march on to a realization of her high
Ideals, despite tho covered thrusts tof

hirelings.
While tho referendum petitions on
tho fair arc strongly supported, the
required number of signatures was
not obtained and the useless expense
of a vote will mot bo Imposed on the.
Dcoolc.
Tho opposition of tho .disgruntled
politicians of Portland, did not de
velop any alarming features and 'the
.lubor unions did not carry out their
designs, for there wore enough labor
votes In I'ortland, alone, to hove se
cured a referendum on the fair If the
strength had all been exorcised.
Malheur county may now nurse the
empty notoriety of having sent In the
first petition against her savior, the
portago road. Tho people of Oregon
rescued Malheur from her frlendB.
There Is no hurried packing of
trunks nor closing of mines on ac
count of the tax law. Tho mining
companies will now develop their
properties, pay their shnre of tho
burden and prepare to stay nnd reap
n legitimate harvest in Oregon.
It Is a triumph thnt Oregon may
well bo proud of. Tho opposition to
nil these worthy measures wns con
ceived In selfishness and prosecuted
with hired tools. None of It sprang
fresh front the breast of any citizen
of Oregon.
It Is an epoch In state history.

of the actiou of the proud little

of Cofer, since the day of the Free-

though tho slim clew disappeared at

HORSE MEAT DAINTIES.
The latest evidence that the public
likes to bo deceived is the enormous
business transacted by a Paris meat
canning establishment. Thu products
of thlB concern put up In neat boxes,
with handsome Inbels, go nil over
Europe for consumption. Tho list of
viands ranges from roast beef to pot
ted venison, including the feather
tribe. Upon overy label Is the ab
breviation CH., In largo red letters,
which means "horse meat," the gov
ernment requiring such distinction
upon the product of roan's futlhful
beast of burden.
It 1b not alone the restaurants and
boarding houses which purchase tho
products of the cannery, but overy
grocer handles the assortment, and
investigation has shown that families
are the largest fmrchasers, and It Is
to bo presumed that their imagination
and the condiments disguise the real
character of the stuff. Chicago Chron

HENRY WARD BEECHER'S GHOST.
The recent dlBctiasion of spiritual
ism, in which wo are told that the
host of Henry ward needier lias ap
peared to a furmer friend, and con
fined himself in his message to com
plaining that a certain coin, known
an tho "widow s ruitu, had not been
icturued to him, reminds us of an in
teresting Incident In Mr. Ileecher's
life while he was still in the Uesh.
Tho great preacher was in England,
as the story goes, and was bolng en-
tertnlned by a gentleman who believ
ed In spiritualism nnd was himself u
medium.
One day he asked It Ileecher would
like to tall; with the spirit of his
father, Dr. Lyman Beechor. Mr.
Beecher replied that It would please
him Immensely. After the Bcaucti
was ovor ho was asked how It had
Impressed him, nt which, with a twin
klo of his eye, Beecher responded:
Ml I have to say is, that it I de
teriorate as fust for tho first ten
years after I am dead as my father
has I shall be a stark-naked fool."
When one considers tho high and no
ble purposes to which Mr. Beecher
dovoted himself while on. earth, and
the things on which his mind seems
to run now, we are constrained to re
call this Incident. Everybody's Mag
azlno. MARRIAGE I N.INDIA.
Marriage, no one may escape in
India. It is, as death and birth, inevi
table. Only birth and death are our
Hnalltles, marriage may como by
choice, caprice, or accident; these aro
not found in Indian dictionaries. The
wisdom of selection Is loft to parents.
Of course thoro are mistakes, sur
prises, disappointments, as every
where But I saw as much love-light
in happy oyes In India as in any other
country. Edmund Kussell in Every
body's Magazine.
IT'8 THE DURN YANKEES.
Few peoplo seem to have real
ized that thu. populist craze In poll
tics first mado Itself manifest In thu
South, whore tho white poulntlon Is
nearly 100 per cent native born; that
it found Its most fertile soil In Kan
sas, and that Its spread throughout
tho Middle West may bo traced direct
ly to tho blood of Now England.
In 1900 tho population of Kansas
was 72.6 per cent native born. Tho
porcontngo of native born citizens In
the New England states ranged from
a minimum of about 36 por cent In
Rhode Island to a maximum of 71.2
In Maine.
Thus it will be seen that Kansas
outranks Maine, which stands at tho
head of the list of New England states
In proportion of native blood, but It

The same spirit that made "Bleed

ngo, and that made Maine and "them

for groonbnekism 30 years ago wns
abroad In KansaB in the '90a. It is the
spirit that has made overy cranky Ism

THE BLIND CHAPLAIN'S RISE. .
The death of William Henry Mll-j
burn, for many years famous as "The
Blind Chaplain," recalls the romantic
and heroic incidents connected with
his flrst election as a chaplain of.
congress In 1845. When Slllburn was
22, a very slight figure, his left eye
entirely blind, his right eye having but
one little transparent point not so big
as the head of a pin, giving him but a
glimmer of the outer world, he was
traveling by Ohio river steamer from
Cincinnati to Wheeling, W. Va. Ho
was then entirely unknown to tho
world except to the little band of cir
cuit riders among whom he had been
preaching In the backwoods for a year.
To his great delight he found on the
steamer a large number of congress
man of both houses, who woro on theft
way to Washington for the opening
of a session. Mllhurn expected great
profit from their conversation, but
was soon shocked nt their profanity,
their gnmbling .and their drunken
ness. The Ohio river wus low, and fogs
coming on, they wore detained over
Sunday. At breakfast a committee of
passengers Invited Millmrn to preach,
nnd a congregation of 300 persons as
sembled. At the close of ti brief ser
mon, to the astonishment of all, he
bowed to the men before him, and
said: "I understand that you are
members of the congress of tho Unit
ed States, and as such, you are, or
should be, the representatives, not
only of the political opinions, but
olso of the Intellectual, moral, and re
ligious condition nt the people of this
country- As I hnd rarely rfeen men
of your class, I felt, on coming aboard
this boat, a natural Interest to hear
your conversation and to observe
our habits, if I am to judge the na
tion by you. I can come to no other
conclusion than thnt It is composed
of profane swearers, card players and
drunkards. Suppose there should be
an Intelligent foreigner on this boat,
traveling through the country with the
Intent of forming a well-considered
nnd unbiased opinion as to the practi
cal working of our free institutions
seeing you and learning your posi
tion, what would be his conclusion?
Inevitably, that our experiment was a
failure, and our country Is hastening
to destruction."
