Behind him lay the gray Azores,
Behind the gates of Hercules;
Before him not the ghost of shores,
Before him only shoreless seas.
The good mate said: "New must we pray,
For lo! the very stars are gone.
Brave Adm'rl, speak; what shall I say?"
"Why, Bay, 'Sail on! Bail on! and on!'"
"My men grow mutinous day by day ;
My men grow ghastly wan and weak."
The stout mate thought of home; a spray
Of salt wave washed Mb swarthy cheek.
"What shall I say, bravo Adm'rl, say,
If we sight naught but seas at dawn?"
"Why, you shall say, at breakof day,
'Sail on! sail on! sail on! ami on!'"
They sailed and sailed, as winds might blow,
Until at last the blanched mate said ;
"Why, now not even God would know
Should I and all my men fall dead.
These very winds forget their way,
For God from these dread seas is gone.
Now speak, brave Adm'rl; speak and say "
Hesald: "Salloul Wilson! and on!"
They sailed; they sailed. Then spoke the mate:
"This mad sea shows itB teeth tonight.
He curls his lip, he lies in wait,
With lifted teeth, as if to bite!
Brave Adm'rl say but one good word ;
What shall we do when hope is gone?"
The words leapt as a leaping sword :
"Sail on! sallon! sailun! and on!"
Then, pale and worn, he kept his deck,
And peered thro' darkness. Ah ! that night
Of all dark nights! And then a speck -
A light! A light! Alight! Alight!
It grew, a starlit Hag unfurled!
It grew to be Time's burst of dawn.
He gained a world ; he gave that world
Its grandest lesson: ""On! and on!"

THUS MISSISSIPPI VALLEY.
The following summary of the capa
bilities of the magnifioent valley of the
Mississippi is from an article in Lippin-
cott's Magazine, by ex-Senator Ingalls:
The Mississippi river has COO affluents,
whose courses aro marked upon the map,
and a drainage area of 1,275,450 square
miles.
The traveler embarking upon a steam
boat can sail from Pittsburg, 4,300 miles,
to Fort Benton, Mon,, and from Minne
apolis, 2,200 miles to Port Eads, on the
Gulf of Meiioo. Should he choose to
extend his voyage to the head of naviga
tion upon its forty-five navigable tribu
taries, his outward journey would exceed
16,000, miles through twenty-three states
and territories of the Union.
This stupendous water system is equiv
alent to a land-looked harbor, an estuary,
or an arm of the sea, penetrating into the
North Amerioan oontinent farther than
from New York to Liverpool, with a coast
line of 32,000 miles, having hundreds of
populous towns and cities and innumer
able ports and havens from which the
agricultural and manufactured produots
of one-third of thjr,ble surfuoe of the
Uujted States latiKi'shipped tn all parts
of the g'obo. The territory whioh it
drains is considerably larger than cen
tral Europe.
From an onsurveyed wilderness, it
less than a century, twenty-one states
have been admitted to the Union, having
ao area of eight hundred million aores, a
population of more than thirty-five mil
lions, and wealth beyond measurement
or computation. Sparsely inhabited,
with rude and unscientific methods, their
resources, hardly touched, the states of
the Mississippi valley last year produced
more than three-quarters of the sugar,
coal, iron, oats, wheat, cotton, tobacco,
lead, hay, lumber, wool, pork, beef, horses
and mules of the entire country, together
with a large fraotion of its gold and sil
ver. Iheir internal oomineroe is already
greater than all the foreign commerce of
the combined nations of the earth.
China supports four hundred million
people upon an area smaller and less fer
tile.
The delta of the Mississippi, below its
iunotion with the Ohio, richer than the
Nile or the Rhine, exoeeds the oombined
area of Holland and Egypt, and is des.
lined, under the stimulus of free labor
and incentive of free government, to build
a fabric of society more opulent and en
during. Add to this the inexhaustible
alluvian of the streams above, and the
fertile prairie from which they desoend
and the arithmetic of the past has no
logarithms with which to compute the
problems of the economic and commer
cial future of the West. It will be pre
dominant in the development, not of this
oounlry alone, but of the hemisphere,
and will give direction to the destinies of
the bumau race.
We stand in the vestibule. We have
not yet entered the temple.
NKWdPAPER OPINION.
In Ban Franoieto the people Bre deter-
mined to bring tbe southern Pacific to
terms or oontroi a railroad themselves.
They have formed a oompany, which in
tends to build a railroad from San Fran
oisco to Los Angeles, whence connections
may be established with the Atchison
oompany, which now runs to Mojave,
where it meets the Southern Pacific. It
will be in the merchant's power to make
this road profitable, both as regards local
and transcontinental traffic. The saving
in freight alone will be great and will
warrant the large outlay that the new
company proposes to muke. The pres
ent combination of tbe paoifio lines must
fall. It is not good for them or for the
public. It restrains healthy competition
in the Northwest and retards improve
ments in speed and public acoommoda
tion. It enables the Canadian Pacific
to carry off a large portion of American
business which could all be bandied at
borne. Happily tbe new California rail
road ana the Great Northern will disturb
tbe existing combinations and restore
active rivalry. Astorian.
The men who control the machine in
Pennsylvania, and who arrogate to them
selves the right to represent and control
party, have been conspicuous
failures in five suooessive national
conventions. The Philadelphia Press
ays of them: "They prevented the vote
of the state from being cast for Blaine
in 1876, and they got Hayes for presi
dent, and muoh joy they got with him
In 1880 they played a like game, and got
Garfield, who was very fur from being
( their kind or to their liking. In 1884
they fought Blaine again, but vainly;
and in 1888, and again in 1892, Harrison
as nominated in the teeth of their most
earnest efforts to prevent. In spite of
these repeated failures they continue to
be regarded by the unreflecting as poli
ticians of unerring sagacity."
The democratic party, which did its
utmost to degrade labor by the perpetua
tion of slavery, is deeply oonoerned over
the support given Whitelaw Reid before
the Minneapolis convention by the typo
graphical union. Sinoe Mr. Reid's name
as presented by organized labor, weoan
not see the need of this suddenly express
ed sympathy and regard for labor, most
liich is coming from papers that nev
er gave a day's employment to a union
printer, and that would go into biitik
ruptcy if they were forced to pfty halt the
scale of wages paid by the New York
Tribune. Mr. Reid has always paid the
highest market prioe for his lubor. That
is more than can be said for most of these
democratic papers that are now so wor
ried over the vioe presidential notuimt
tion. Spokane Review.
The reoent disaster in the oil region ol
Pennsylvania has aroused the eastern
public to the dangers ouused by dams
built above cities and populous valleys.
Commenting upon this peril, the New
York Mail and Express says: "Dams
such as the one on the Couemaugh, tha
breaking of whioh oaused the Johnstown
disaster, and the Spartansburg dam,
whioh iB responsible for the fatality on
Oil oreek, should be condemned and torn
out before they oan bring about such
fearful catastrophes."
A part of the declaration of principles
adopted by the recent republican con
vention at Minneapolis is the following:
'We approve tbe polioy of extending to
towns, villages and rural communities
the advantages of the free delivery xor
vioe now enjoyed by the larger oities of
the country." The liberal polioy of the
republican party in postal affairs during
many years proves that in this brief item
there is something more than a mere
Oampaign declaration. Oregonian.
Pendleton Tribune: Governor Pen
noyer says be didn't say Cleveland Was
the biggest fraud in tbe country. He
only said the next biggest; George Wil
liam Curtis is the biggest. It these gen
tlemen were by any obanoe mnde aware
of our erratio governor's private opinion
of them how wounded will be their pride.
Tbe republican national platform re
ported by the committee on resn
lutions is worthy of the magnifioent rec
ord of the party. There is not a back
ward step, not an evasive utterance on
the great issues before the people, but
on each a frank and manly declaration
of purpose. New York Tribune.
Taken in its entirety the platform is a
strong and manly dooumeur. There are
a few recommendations in it, such as the
plank on the world's fair and Nicaragua
canal, which scarcely deserve a place iu
a declaration of party principles, but
they are unimportant. Philadelphia Bul
letin. The demooratio press will Dud no rot
ten planks, no breaches, in tho republi
can walls. Hie platform in its entirety
is strong, able and reflects credit upon
its builders aud upon tbe national con
vention. Toledo (O.) Blade.
Senator Hill will never be president of
the United States, says the Baltiuiors
American. But he can have the honor
of sliding down the baok stairs of history
under the title of "Tbe Grout American
Traveler."
Silver and silver coinage do not make
a country wealthy. If that were the true
road to wealth Mexico would be the
wealthiest country on the face of the
globe, inBtead of one of the poorest.

ADViri! TO BATUMI.
This is tbe season of the year when
one is more apt to coutract severe colds
while bathing than at any other time.
Just now, when the sun is apparently in
training for his summer's work, with one
day quite warm and the next chilly, one
wants to bathe almost every day, and
unless care is exercised a cold is the re.
stilt.
Very few people know how lo bathe
properly. Judicious bathing is at all
times benefioial and serves to increase
strength and vitality.
Iu the firat place, it is important to
have a warm room, to preveut a chill
when the clothing is removed. The water
should be tepid not hot and soap
should be freely used. If the house is
provided witli a bathroom, etund iu the
tub. If not, have a towel or square of
oil clotli to stiitul upon, and use a basin.
Get Turkish toweling, and make two
puirs of tbumblees mittens, just large
enough to slip over the thumb and large
enough to allow the hand to stretch flat.
A large, rough towel is a'so quite essen
tial. After taking everything oil', slip ou the
mittens, dip them in the wuter, squeeze
the drips from them, soap well and rub
the body all over, beginning at the ueok
and eudiug at the toes. Take oil' the
mittens, lay them down beside the basin;
all the soil in the body will be in those
mittens. Take your second pair of mit
tens, slip them on and go over your body
again, rinsing the mitteus several times,
thus : Take the soap oil the arms, then
rinse, then to the waist and so forth.
Bathing thus rests and strengthens a
tired body.
After getting most of the soap off Dr.
Dio Lewis snyo "it will not injure yon to
leave a little sonpon the body, it counter
acts the oil of the skin." slip off your
second pnir of mittens and Huso them
out well, then wring them as dry as you
can, and rub the drips offyour body.
The damp mitts will not only dry the
body, but it is wonderful the friction
they produce and how they open tho
pores of the skin. Then dry with the
aforesaid rough towel, which seems al
most unnecessary, but that last dry rub
gives an afterglow..
It takes about ten minutes to wash
from top to loe and to' rinse the mittens
iu a seooud water ready for another day.
It is well to place the mittens in the air
to sweeten and to have them boiled once
a week to keep them pleasant.
Invalids should wash only a portion
of their bodies at a time, but of course
fo wbhIi piecemeal will take more time.

SELF IMPOSED CATACLYSMS.
The cataclysms of nature are serious
enough when they are of nature's own
making, but their denrtruotiveness has an
added horror when imposed through hu
man oo-operation. The catastrophes
that have overtaken the towns in tbe
Conemaugh and Oil Creek valleys during
tbe past two years must be directly at
tributed to the mismanagement of man.
The building of great reservoirs at the
head of narrow canyons in whioh cities
and towns ore permitted to grow up is a
matter upon which publia sentiment
needs to be educated, until the threaten
ed perils of such enterprises are averted.
The monster Hood of destruction that
swept in a oreated wave over Johnstown
two years ago was surpassed in its
horrors by theorestod wave of llame that
swept down upon the city of Titusvillo
two weeks ago adding bolaoost to the
Hood. Such a onlmiuatinu of terrific
disasters deserves to attract the atten
tion of state or national government to
the enforcement of adequate engineer
ing inspection, that will prevent great
reservoir sites from being built in catch
meut basins, subject to torrential ovor
llow. Enough lias been suggested in the
reservoir destructions of the past two
years to demonstrate that modern civili
zation in oreaiiug the arts of peace, is
likewise, contriving cataclysms of de
struction as terrible as earthquake, cy
clone or tho dread volcanic ernptit n.
The water supply to modem cities; tbe
nuturul potential force for conducting
vast manufactories; tbe irrigation of arid
lands and other projets of progressive
civilization are creating, in every avail
able locality, tbe necessary ooncommi
tantB for just such disasters as have de
populated the pretty valleys of tbe Con
emaugh and Oil Creek. The catastrophes
of the past should warn us that the work
of human masters may became so uncon
trollable and destructive in its unchained
fury as to beggar description.

We are surprised to thiuk that none
of our democratic friends have yet
thought to attribute the late dry weather

In thd Chicago kite-tracked political

Ip on it half the woes attributed by the
democrats, or the merits accredited by
tho republicans to the McEinley bill, are
due Gov. McKiuley, ho has succeeded in
influencing the condition of more peoplo

produced.
Tnu Baltimore Sun intimates that Hen
ry Watterson is seeking the privilege of
talking for an hour to the Chioago con
vention, advising it what to do. Consid
ering the fact that Henry is cool-beaded,
a good talker, and as reasonable au ad
viser as the democracy is likely to have,
we think the convention could not do
better.
Tim report that Prof. Jarvis w ill con
test tho electiou of Miss Woodruff to tiie
school supcrintendeiioy of this county,
is a hoax. Prof. Jarvis is not the man to
accept an ollicu to which he has not
been eleoted. Miss Woodruff received
a majority of the votes of the oouuty
and she will servo in the o Hi ce to which
she has been elected with us much grace
as could either of her opponents bad
they received the lucky number instead.
