The abandonment of this Irrigation

year's whiskers had grown upon its
benign countenance. Little did they
think tho most enthusiastic delega
tion at that outpour of irrigation ora
tory would wax empty of eloquence
-within six moons.
Hut such is the fate nt that delega
tion and such Is tho wane of that
oratory that a mlcrosope of Infinite
fineness would not dlsrover Its pres
ence now.
As a tribute to the warmth of Baker
City's zeal and the tendency of her
delegation to frequently nnd aTmnt
dantly Irrigate, the first semi-annual
meeting of the state association was
called to meet In that city during the
month of June. The honor was ac
cepted In a spirit that led the con
cation to believe that there would
be a happy continuance ot the oratory
and the tendency to irrigate.
It was suggested that tho meeting
ba held where the eyes of the tender
foot might behold the glory of Irri
Ration In Its own stronghold. Baker
City was selected as the ono spot
hi the arid domain of Oregon where
tho alchemy of water. Intelligence,
muscle- and swent had iorfected tho
system of Irrigation most appropriate
to the character of the country.
That city was given precedence
over other points equally as anxious
for the meeting as she, on tho ground
that she had shown cxtraqrdinao
leal in sending an unusually laree
delegation, loaded to the muzzle with
facts, figures. Bites, badges, speeches. j
jokes, good-fellowship, conviviality
oratory and expert testimony.
It Is the fate of Oregon to behold tht
bubble bursted. It is tho painful j

corpse of irrigation, oven with tU

Instead of holding tile meotlng and
showing the world what "good can
come out of Galileo," the Bakor City
people say that "Interest has died,"
and let the convention go by default
Instead of whooping up the subject
with some show of their olden zeal
and some of that rejuvenating spirit
which marked their presence in the
state meetlnglast fall, they sit idly,
aud refuso to invite their friends to
come and comfort them.
With 3,000,000 acres of arid land
to Irrigate and not an Irrigator to be
found, Is tile sad fate of Oregon. Idle
land and homoless people, famishing
deserts and mountain torrents rush
ing unused to the -sea. Beaters pay

It Is said that Chief Justice Fuller,
wishes to retire from office, but re-1

democrats may elect n president in

would be n member of his own party.
In view of the strong prouability that

There is some talk of Mr. Cleveland
obtaining a fourth nomination in the
democratic national convention; hut
It would be the height of cruelty on
Lie part of his friends to cause his
nomination, granting that they could
do It. since lie could not possibly be

AN APOLOGY OF WAR TIME.
The story of the old brick church
In Fairfield county, S. C, where in
1803, the Associate Beform Presby
terian Synod of the Carollnas was or
ganized, has found its way into north
ern papers. The object of this para
graph is mainly to set forth the facts
indicated In the first sentence nnd to
refer to the lesson of tho legend on
tne door-facing. This Inscription, as
thoso familiar with tho old churcn
know, runs about as follows:
"Citizens ot This Community;
Pieaso excuse us for doiaclng your
house of worship so much. It was
absolutely necessary to effect a cross
ing over the creek, as the rebs de
stroyed tho bridge."
This legend was signed simply A
Yankee." The occasion for it was
found in tho fact that the pews, lloor
Ing and Bloopers had been brought
Into requisition to construct a bridge
by which the Federal troops might Ihj
onabled to cross Little river. Tho
Confederates, ns stated, having there
destroyed what is known as Klucaid's
bridge.
The legend and the delicate feel
ing which prompted its Inscription
have in them a lesson of particular
and appropriate interest these days,
since they reveal, as me New Times
puts It, "the existence, eveu in the
worst of the other days, of feelings
that led naturally to reconciliation."

T. B. REED'S ECCENTRICITY.
The friends of the late Thomas B.
Heed in Washington wore astonish
ed to read a dispatch in the morn
ing papers stating that according
to the official report of his adminis
trator he left a personal estate valued
at J431.000 net, after the imymont
of all debts aud obligations ntid all
fees of administration. This fortune
wns found Invested In gilt-edge stocks
and bonds.
Mr. Reed nlways pretended to be
very poor, hut some of his Intimate
friends were convinced long ngo O.f.l
his poverty wns an affectation be
cause they knew of large fees receiv
ed by him from time to time for legal
services and literary worn.
He never wrote a lino or made a
speech for nothing. Each of the man)
articles which from time to time ap
peared in the magazines from his pen
brought him $300, and I know of one
Instance at least In which lie received
$100 from a- Now York newfipnpor lor
an Interview ho prepared with him
self upon n current topis.
His lectures brought him $5o0 a
night, and occasionally in large "ities
like New York and Boston he re
ceived a check for $2,500.
He estimated his legal services at a
very high value, mid unless his cli
ents made a bargain with him In ad
vance they wore sure to be surprised
when they received his bills. Thero
is n story that, while in London some
years ago, ho charged John V. and
B. Farwell of Chicago, $3000 for glv
in some Information to their English
solicitor about the lnws of the Unit
ed States bearing on the sale of
Texas lands, and I know where he
made n life enemy of one of his
closest friends by sending him a bill
for advice given on a legal question
In what was supposed to be a friendly
conversation.
In discussing that Instance and tho
Farwell affair Mr. Beed tool; the
ground that it he had beciT a tailor
and n friend asked him for a suit
of clothes ho would certainly have
expected pay for the mnteiinl and
work and his legal knowledge, having
been acquired by hard labor and
study could not he given away, as he
expressed it, "Like salvation."
He was the subject of a great deal
of criticism in this respect. He was
called avaricious and penurious, but
never dishonest, nnd In 189fi when he
was making a campaign for the presi
dential nomination, there was some
unfavorable comment about his ac
ceptance of financial, assistance from
his friends when there was really no
excuse for him to Incur any expenses
or spend nny money.
Mr. Reed explnined, however, that
he had no source of income except
his salary, which as speaker was $8,
000 a year, and he lived In such a
qulot way that It was sold that he
never sjKsnt more than half of It.
