Wc don't need a "null" we need only push. La Granite will Imitate Pendleton's example and build a hospital. She can get many valuable pointers from Pendleton's energetic methods. Captain Booze, of Baltimore, cele brated his Sfitli birthday yesterday. The W. C. T. U. will have to catch a fresh breath after this solar plexus blow. 1 The lirst thing a party of Filipino students did on reaching San Fran cisco this week, was fo blow out the gas. They escaped Mauser bullets in Luzon to be overcome with one of the more tame features or American civilization, The Lewlston Tribune aptly sug gests that while tho laws by which individuals are enabled to rob the government domain, arc being repeal ed, those by which flic railroads are given princely grants, should also be taken out of commission. The O. R. & N. could make friends and make future business for the company by gracefully relinquishing a right of way for the portage road. The state will get It in the end, and other roads will be built into the state. It Is an opportunity to clinch the friendship of the people of Oregon. It now remains for the people of, this city to ask the O. It. & N. com pany to make St. Anthony's hospital here a company hospital for the sys tem. It is conveniently located on (the main line, and Is equipped as well as any like Institution on the const (or the caro of tho sick and Injured. The transient mining corporations, boosting for the repeal of tho corpor ation tax law at tne special session, ir called, have no permanent Interest In Oregon. They have nothing Invest ed and are here to reap as much as possible and escape all the Just bur dens posslblo, before flying to otfier fields. What about tho city poll tax? Is It ever to be collected? Is that ordi nance of uo force or value to tho city? We talk about curtailing the expense of Improving and maintaining tho streets, and permit all tho uncollect ed poll tax to remain uncollected. If the county should pursue these moth ods In collecting and applying county road tax, where would the county roads be? They would be Just where- the streets pr ronuioton aru: in nuvu of work and funds. Tho politicians who are lying in wait with a stuffed club, expecting the governor to calf a special sosslon, will be disappointed if ho does not receive assurances that no general legislation will bo consldored. Gover nor Chamberlain Is right In his con - elusions that a temporary financial erabarrussmont In the state would be a leaser evil than a prolonged special Hos'slon, costing more than Jlio intor est 'on .borrowed monoy necessary to carry ovor until next year. The suggestion of nepresontatlve CharleB V. Galloway, of Yamnlll coun ty, that Inasmuch ns the legislature made a mistake, the morabors Bhould rectify It, without cost to tho people, Is a Jiiflt and timely thought. It any monibor of tho leglalature let a con- tract to build a house, ho would not pay thn contractor. It the hoiiBO was sot up on false props, without a foundation under It. The special ses sion or tho legislature should not cost the taxpayers one cent for mileage or per dloui to members. They should deliver tho goods. They got their pay for tho work. ' i If the bill for tho repeal of the tlm bdr and Btono .nct, Introduced In con' gross by Sonator Hansbrough, passes, all the timber land on the remaining public domain will bo immediately withdrawn from sottlcmont, and stops taken to soli such timber ns the gov ernment does not enro to reserve, to the highest bidder. This will lnsuro a marketable price for this valuable land, and will protect tho choice tracts from private purchase by plac' ing them In reserves. It Is a vital question, and one on which some radi cal stops must bo tnkon. Tho for ests must be saved for tho future, and tl.e public domain must be protected from the land sharks. Whatever law will accomplish those two .ends will bo good, no matter what It Is called, or who Is Its author. The electric lighting facilities of Pondleton are to be enlarged ,nnd Im proved. The telephone' system "should keep pace with the growth of trie city nlso. If the business hint profession al men of the city will go after a change from the present bell system to tho more Improved express sys tem. In use lu all cities of any pro portions, they can get It. The offices are to be fitted tip at once, and tho progiessive company would rather make the chaugo during the move than later. If convinced that the peo ple want the new system. It Is a sub ject for the Commercial Association's action, and also deserves the atten tion of tne city council. A word from these bodies would have weight with the management of the mlPiihonr. company. Pendleton is a good patron of the telephone, nud deserves the bo.it going. Many cities of less popu lation than Pondleton support two companies. There Is now an opportunity betore the business men nf Pendleton winch should not be overlooked. The Slnip- son-Perrluger race trade and gmimds. consisting of 15 acres, is said to be for sale at a reasonable figure. While the East Oregonlnn Is not agent for thl3 firm in selling the property. It seems that the purchase of this round, either by local capitalists or by the county court, to be convertsl iulu a fair ground as the basis for tin- organization of a county fair assocn tiou, would be a wise mid commen dable move. Pendleton'nnd Umatilla county can support such an Institu tion, and instead of offering the citi zens of the surrounding country n hoochie-coochle, sea serpent, glaps eatlng, sword-swallowing, hlgh-klcklng street carnival next fall, this city should hold a clean, high-class, in structive and enjoyable county agri cultural fair. It seems that the op portunity Is ripe to grasp right now. It Is a good Investment from a finan cial standpoint, aside from being public-spirited and progressive. A FABLE. A queer and cranky man, who calls himself John Ilryan, of Ohio, once told a fable about some rats and cats. Tho story has a Teddlue flavor. It runs about like this: A certain Rat Family of ambition moved to the Other' Side of Town. In their new home was a Pnlr of Cats, but as tho Cats wore fat, sleek and contented, they never troubled the Itats. Yet one of the Rats, being of n neurotic temperament and always on the Lookout for Trouble, said to the old father Rat, who had long whisk ers and was very wise; "Father, It Is true that this pair or Cats do not wage war on Rats, but I have heard that cats have kittens, and kittens grow, and become mlschlovous, and tlion they will light us alas, alas!" "My child." said the wise old Ilat. "My child, we now live on ttppe'r Fifth avenue. These are fashionable Cats, and Fashlnnauic Cats do not have kittens." So saying lie placed a copy of the New York Journal over his face to keep off the bluo-liottles, and relapsed Into a quiet doze. Tho Philistine. TEMPERANCE IN THE SOUTH, The North Carolina legislature has ndnpted a measuro making optional In rural towns elthor totnl prohibi tion or tho nlternatlVo of a dispen sary on the Soui-i Carolina plan ns a substitute for tho barroom. There are 97 counties In North Carolina,.! and sixty of theso had already nrtopt- ed prohibition before tho passage of this measure. Roth Texas nnd Mississippi aro now practically prohibition states, A pio neer m tho movomont was Ocoigla after tho adoption of the dispensary pystem In South Carolina, and Florida and Arkansas woro foon afterward added through the establishment of absolute prohibition In GO counties of Alabama, SO of Florida, and CO of Ar- Kansas In Tennessee two-thlros of tho counties have adopted prohibition, and that stato is the next on the pro gram of the temperance men for I "ransom, irom rum,- as tne agnation J 8 called in tho South. N. Y. Bun, CIVIC CORRUPTION. Speaking of the Macedonian uues tlon before tho Chnnnlug auxiliary In San Francisco yesterday afternoon, Professor Joromo D. Lnndflold Of the University of California Raid that the Turkish administration lu Macedonia was vory corrupt, especially as the officials sent thore wore palace favor ites given their positions to make their fortunes. Professor Landfteld snld that such a condition of affairs, howovor, did not differ so materlolly from the corruption In the govern ment of some of Amorlca's cities. I The acute situation In Macedonia he said, had quloted down chlolly be cause tho Christian brigands have had withdrawn from them tho moral support of Austria and Ttusstn, whose joint noto to the sultan had done so much to rcstoro ordor. That, ho Bald, seemed a satisfac tory solution of the Macedonian , problem. He was of tho opinion that tho Just treatment of tho Turkish ag ticulturisls of tho peninsula could only come by tho restoration of the Turkish administrative authority bad though it bo, and by the improve niont of that administration by Euro pean diplomatic pressure at Constan tinople, which could easily be brought' nbuut If tho powers would lay aside their self-interest for the good of ail. TROPIC PRODUCT. The taste of the people of tho United States for tropical products 1 seems to be Increasing 'at a vory rapid rate. It Is stated that tho vuluo of i the tropical and subtropical products brought into this country In the past year was ovor $400,000,000. In 1895 the value of this class ofi merchandise imported was only $300,000,000, in 1875 $200,000,0110, and j in 1S70 $140,000,000. Thus the value! of the tropical products brought into , the country In the year just ended was about twice as much as lu 1S7S. , nnil one-third more than in 1SS5. says Harper's Weekly. Even these figures do not show tho real increase, because of the great re duction In prices of many of the ar ticles formitig this huge totnl. The value of the sugar of tropical produc tion brought into the country in the M'asl year- 'or '"stance, wns $104,000,- Lut the number of pounds brought in from Iho tropics last year was more than four times as great as in IS70. The total number of pounds of trop ical sugar brought into the country last year v;as ovor 5,O00,O00,ooo. L'ENVOI. When earth's hint picture Is painted. And the tubes are twisted and dried.
