'FLEE AS A BIRD.'
The
majority of mankind
maintain and cling to the idea
that they are some day to have
wings. This is a very pretty
idea; that none are bold enough
to deny. J. It would seem from
the following that in the . matter
of flyfng we are to Tiave , a little
experienced i in earthly ether be
fore finally finding ourselves
compelled to depend upon wings
when we reach the realms of
eternal bliss:
iollrtnti, tlie inventor, declares that
he will have eveiyhody who wants to
fhin within a year. This is a biief
ltrioii in which to complete so big a
;outract. but he may accomplish it;
who knows? His idea is to have wings
made of bamboo and silk, fastened to
the body at the arms and hips, and with
these he claims to be able to fly as a
bird tfoes tl:rongh trie air. He dipgnards
balloons or ether lifting appliances, and
aliiiuis tn.it In luis discovered, what in
ventors have for azes vainly sought, the
secr- t of flight by human w ingp. Wen
des will never cease.
We recall having read in "Ras
selus, the Prince of Abyssinia,"
that a certain addle-patted in
habitant of Happy Valley con
ceived ideas similar to those now
entertained by Mr. Holland and
proceeded to build bat-shaped
wings. In giving his wings a
trial this would-be flyer flapped
into the- lake and but for the as
sistance of others would have
drowned, so badly - was he handi
capped by his wings. Moral: If
you try to fly, keep away from
the water.
N07 ACCEPTABLE.
The idea of raising dower for
Miss Alice Roosevelt was short
lived as ic should have been.
But for the idea of a misguided
enthusiast all Oregon must suf
fer more or less. In no' other
part of the union was the idea
of dower by subscription accept
able, as is proved by the follow
ing from an eastern exchange.
The Oregon idea of a popular subscrip
tion to pay for a wedding present to
Alice Roosevelt is something that ought
to oe crush d. We fancy that the
President will have something to say i
the Oregon ians persist. His daughter
13 not a poor girl, and the suggestion
cannot hut be distasteful to her. She
lias wealthy relatives Jand is to marry a
rich Congressman, and a national gift ot
the nature planned in the Beaver state
is not likely to make a hit iu any other
part of the Uni'i.
If Miss Alice continues to be a
good girl and misfortune makes
it an appropriate act of charity,
we may at some future time in
vest 10 cents or so for her relief.
nappny, at present there is no
pressing need.
GOD FORBID!
The suffering millions o
Great Britian are not asking for
charity but are begging for
work. The situation grows more
acute daily. Never before was
there so great a proportion of
the people unemployed. The
condition is, of course, worst in
the cities, and particularly in
London. Says the Springfield
"Republican:"
Liu another potent cause of the con
gestion in London ha been the steady
imponrct poverty stricken people from
the Ji;rmt ami provincial towns of Eug-
lau.'. The ruVh to the rbetropolia has
goue on for vcars, and, na all students
of tue question realize, it has been one
result of the immense . decline 12 Eng-
1 sh agriculture which lias been nearly
ruined by compati.ion of food products
fiom the United States and other foreign
connt'ics. These 'laborers, often nn
ekilieU, Lave flocked into London labor
market only to demoralize it w ith cheap
ness. .
una remeay wiunn 1 each is emigra
tion 10 Canada, Australia and South
Ainca; yet me uwisnr.es ot tne very
poor in a great city r-i hard to move
to a uiotaut countiy . hich is more or
less of.a wilderness.
Why do not our half convert
ed Free-Trade advocators
give the real remedy, Protec
tion? When England was re
pealing her Corn laws and we
were about to adopt : the Free
Trade Walker Tariff, the Spring
field ' 'Republican" v was telling
its readers of the misery of Free
Trade and pleading, for. Protec
tion, as it continued to plead till
the Morrill law displaced the
laws of 1846 and ,1857. Let it
tell the truth now as it did then
and acknowlegde that Free
Trade in "England! is a failure, a
sad, lamentable failure, as it has
been sooner or later ? wherever
it has been tried.1 England's
wealth, her capital, her prestige,
warded off the awful - blow for
nearly half a century, but it has
now come in all its fury, and
there is only one , remedy, a re
turn to Protection. .
And shall we, in the light of
such experience 'and such con
ditions, return to Free-Trade?
God forbid!

Change Irrigation Laws.
Prominent irrigators ot Oregon
are considering the advisability
t asking the r.ext legislature to
amend the irrigation Uws in sev
eral particulars. At tdc present
time ail the contracts or the .state
for -th e - fecla on a t ion - - of desert
lands under the ; Carey act are
based upon the theory tnat.the
owner of . the caBals and ditches
are entitled to collect a perpetual
annual rental from the landhold
ers. In Idaho the ' landholders
will eventually own and control
the canals, ditches, headgates,
etc.- , - - "-.v:-: - - i";V '
In the contract with . the state
of Idaho for the . construction of
the Twin Falls canal, it is pro
vided that a"' company shall be
formed among the landowners
on the basis of one share of stock
for one share of water r'ght, and
that within seven years the con
trol of the canals, ditches, dams
and neadgates shall pass to the
corporation formed among the
water-users. Previous ,to the
formation of this company and
before the expiration of the seven
years' limit, the construction
company is entitled to collect an
hually not - exceeding ' eighty
cents an acre. -The same theory
of ownership prevails in all Gov
ernment work.
All the contracts tor the re
clamation of arid lands under the
Carey act in this state allow the
construction companies the right
to collect $i an acre perpetually,
