JUDGE KUJS' OPPORTUNITY.
The Eist Oregonian is delighted to
Teeeivo from Judge W. R. Ellir, congressman-elect
from this district, his
first public utterance on the question
of the repeal of the pernicious lan J
laws by which the gigantic land frauds
of the west have been accomplished
and this paper Is especially gratified
to know that Judge Ellis is in favor of
repenllns the most pernicious of those
laws.
It seems that this is an opportunity
for Judge Ellis to make a national
reputation in congress. Oregon has
gained a national fame through the
prominence of her land frauds. It Is
especially fitting and peculiarly note
worthy that the repeal of those laws
by which the frauds were made possi
ble should be championed by an Ore
gon congressman.
Judge Ellis Is not a new member
of conaress. in the common meaning
of that term. He has served six years
there and will find many of his old
associates in congress on his return.
He will be in position to begin active
woik on his first entrance into the
halls of congress and the East Ore
g.inian hopes to see him introduce a
bill for the repeal of the timber and
stone act and the desert land act, on
the first day of the next session.
Such action on the part of an Ore
gon congressman will convince the na
tion that the state does not Indorse tha
frauds, dies not Indorse the perpe
trators of the frauds and does not wish
"the continuance of the laws by which
the frauds were committed.
Oregon is to receive from the gov
ernment a wonderful development
through the reclamation service. The
most cordial relations should exist be
tween the state and that service and
this seems to be a brilliant opportuni
ty for eastern Oregon's congressman.
THE RETUtX OF THE MUSE.
Edwin Markham says that there Is
a revival of poetry reading: that after
an era of commercial selfishness and
coldness, the world is returning to the
fireside themes, the lullabies, the son
nets of love, the soothing themes that
have Inspired the poets in all ages.
He says the enlargement of the
public school courses to Include
closer study of literature and authors
has brought about this movement and
that it will spread over the world until
th? muse will be enthroned again and
placed on an equal footing with the
tiger of commerce.
Xo period In Ame.lcan history
equals In genuine worth and merit
that period In which Longfellow
Whlttler, Bryant. Poe, Hawthorne
Cooper and other leading American
authors lived and wrote,
It was a period of romance and con
tentment. The national spirit was
higher, the national Ideal more ele
vated than ever before or since. When
the nation quit reading and thinking
poetry it drifted to the sordid extreme
of selfishness, graft and evil. When
sentiment lost Its power In the land
and when men quit living In an at-1
mosphere of poetry and romance, they
began to think evil thoughts and do'
ev'l deeds.
A man who is stirred by sentiment,
thrilled by a beautiful picture or u
beautiful poem, will not often commit
a wrong. When a man drifts ava
fiom the tender things of life, ho be
comes hardened, not only In his think
ing, but in his deeds, and his influence
for the highest good la weakened.
Th return of the Muse will be wel
comed by millions. For the past de
cade there have been no able writers
of poetry, but because the spirit of
the times has been antagonistic to
that form of thought. Commercial
selfishness has dominated homes
ehools. pulpits, colleges and private
sanctums. Romance has been ban
ished from the national life and the
cold materialism which has made
grafting, robbery, fraud and all kinds
of ciime possible, has held sway.
HOW DO KASCA1.S TIUVE?
The nomination of J. X. Gillette for
governor of California is a triumph
for one of the most unscrupulous and
conscienceless men In that state, Abe
F.uef, of San Francisco.
This is not saying that Gillette Is of
that stripe,, but his nomination was
secured by that boss and his crowd of
"delegates."
George C. Pardee, the present gov
ernor, has antagonized Reuf In the
distribution of state patronage and as
reward Is turned down. There Is
nothing else to say against Pardee as
an official.
The question arises, m the face of
"ieh facts, "How do such rascals as
Ruef hold their forces together and
thrive in great states like California?"
Are there not enough decent men In
the parties to turn down the dictator
ial bosses' Are there not enough
good and true men who have an In
dependent and fearless spirit to defeat
the Rue's and the rlntrsters whereer
they show their heads in politics?
The only way to accomplish the de
feat of the rascals Is for the mass of
the .voters to turn away from the or
ganizations dominated by such repro
bates. Independent voting is the only
cure. THE CITY OF THE DEAD.
They do neither plight nor wed
In the city of the dead.
In the city where they sleep away the
nours;
But they lie, while o'er them
range
Winter blight and summer change
And a hundred happy whisperings of
flowers.
Xo, they neither wed nor plight,
And the day is like the night.
For their vision Js of other kind than
ours.
They do neither sing nor sigh
In that burg of by and by.
Where the streets have grasses grow
ing cool and- long;
But they rest within their bed.
Leaving all their thoughts unsaid.
Deeming silence better far than sob
or song.
. Though the robin be n-wlng.
Though the leaves of autumn march
a million strong.
There Is only rest and peace
In the City of Surceas.'
From the failings and the walling
'ntjath the sun,
And the wings of the swift years
Beat but gently o'er the biers.
Making music to the sleepers every
one.
There Is only peace and rest;
But to them It seemeth best,
For they He at ease and know that
life Is done.

LIVES OX 12 CENTS PER DAY.
Augustus Riley, a clerk In the wn
department. 74 years old, declares that
he spends less than 12 cents a day
for his living.
"My average expense every day for
five years past has been less than 12
cents," said Mr. Riley, "and 1 hnve
had plenty to eat The system only
requires so much. I sleep like a baby
and at leisure I go for a several
miles' stroll through the parks.
"I never get hungry; most people
feel that way when their Imagination
runs away with them. I live on $4.11
a month and I have an Itemized
statement to prove It. My favorite
dishes are apples, eggs and rice. 1
avoid meats and Indigestible foods.
They tear the vital organs up and put
them out of use."
The east of France Is somewhat In
fluenced by the neighborhood of Ger

pensltles to heaviness and slow wit
which characterize the nation beyond

WHERE POXIES Rl'X WILD.
There Is probnbly only one place In
this country where ponies run wild
and are captured every year by be
ing driven into pens. This place Is a
long, narrow Island, known as the
Core, Banks, which lies off the coast
of. North Carolina, between Core
sound and the sea. says the Chicago
Record-Herald. Here the Banker
ponies, that make such gooi little
steeds for small riders nnd drivers,
live and breed and run wild until they
are captured and brought to market.
It Is over 300 years since the na
cestors of the Banker ponies were left
on the Core banks. , These ancestors
were fine lnrge horses. It Is not cer
tainly known who first brought horses
to this coast, or when. But they came
from Europe: for there were no horses
on this continent till the white men
came. The Island was not Inhabited
then: and, besides the life-saving men
at Cape Lookout, few persons live on
It to this day.
The horses had to shift for them
selves. They had only the marsh
grass to eat, and they had no shelter
at nil, so gradually they became
smaller, under these bad conditions.
They grew long, shaggy coats of hair
to protect them from the cold and
rain, and their hoofs became larger
than Is usual with horses, because of
their wading through the sand ana
marshy places.
All the surface water on the Island
Is salt or brackish; but the horses
have learned to paw down below the
surface of the sand until they reach
the fresh wnter below. They literally
dig little wells, from which to drink;
and while they have lost size, they
have become strong and hardy, able
to endure cold, and thrive under con
ditions where large well-hred horses
could hardly live.
The ponies run wild, with no care
save such as they take of them
selves, and up to a few years ago a
Banker pony belonged to whoever
caught It. Now, however, they have
a market value; they have been
clnlmed and branded, and are the

VOICELESS.
The Poet sinned, and God said "This
be his hell:"
The rivers sang him their lyrics. The
forests weaved him their spell.
Ho followed the Spring and Summer,
knowing the winds by name.
He raw the riddle of Life when the
maples were touched to flame.
The crowded spruces loved him, and
taught him their ancient lore,
And the wonders that kings would
learn stole close to his humble
door.
Then he rose in his Joy and then he
tasted his hell
With the knowledge of things In his
heart und never the word to
tell.
