JiA .S3 The trans-Mississippi congress is in session at St. Louis this w eek. The nuptials of Oar Nicholas II and Princess Alix of Hesse were celebrated on Nov. 2-jth, 1891. Princess Bi.smark, wife of Heir Bismark, the "iron chancellor," died on the 27th inst. She was married to Bismark in 1847. The biggest school book ring in the state is the one composed of the companies who watt a change of books, in the face of the present hard times. J3 WHAT SHERMAN SAID. The I'ortland Sun has succeeded in finding one of Sherman's speeches of 1870, in which he ad mits that under gold monometal lism gold surely appreciates in purchasing power. Ttisis inter esting, inasmuch as Senator Sher man is the acknowledged leader of the single gold-standard forces. ' Mr. Sherman said: A struggle for the possession of pold at ouce arose between all the great nations, because everybody could see that if $3,200,000,000 of silver coin were demonetized and $:!,500,000,000 of gold coin made the sole standard, it would enor mously add to the value of gold, and the Bank of Franco, the liauk of England, and the Imperial Bank of Gorinany at ouce commenced what we have observed recently. It is not so much a fall of silver as it is a rise of gold, the inevitable effect of a fear of the demonetiz ation of silver. The demonetization of silver tends to add to the value of gold, and though its relative value changes, it is more stable compared to gold than any othor metal or production. There is a legend among tho darkies down South that when the animals woro woudiug their way alone; the gang plank into Noah's ark, it so happoned that the ant had for his partner tho elephant. And as they proceeded on into the ark, two by two, tho aut accuBod tho elephant of crowding, and most iutouiporately abused and reviled him, in tho course of which ho said that if God had thought vory much of tho elephant ho would have given him a comolier and whiter skin. Tho big, good Matured elephant smilingly looked down on his neighbor but said nothing, but ho thought to him self it was a groat deal like two black mon calling each other "niggers," for tho little ant was as black as tho ace of spades and not very protty, either. Besides he was occupying throo-fourthB of tho gang plauk to tho discomfort of everybody in tho neighborhood. The Gazette is above noticiug ill tempered and intomperato thoughts and actions diroctod against it by any person like tho writer of tho article, "Communicated," in yester day's Record. Probably tho little allegory horewith will suggest a moral. SlCCHETAUY OF TtlE NaVV Hr.lt- BKUT in his annual report recom mend that tho work of eon structinc new war vossels of the better ' class should not ceaHO. Tho socretary is certainly right in this matter. As a nation, we should do our utmost to maintain poaoo at all times, yot should be ready for any emergency. We have not enough armored warships to protect any great ainount of Bea coast, though the general con dition of the navy is much im proved over that of a few years ago. The business outlook for Hepp ner is much brighter this fall than last, despite low prices prevailing for all products of the range and farm. If our people "stay with it," using frugality and plenty of hard work with it, wo will be in the best possible condition to begin business again in the good, old fashioned way when tho entire couuty returns to the era of pros perity which now is doubly assur ed will bo our portion. The silver and "honest money" men are having a time of it in the trans-Mississippi congress at St. Louis. We predict that the silver advocates will capture the convention. The atrocities inflicted by Turks upon the Armenians has not been equaled in the last decade in the civilized world, except those thrust upon the Jews by the Russian throne. TnE loss of Port Arthur to the Chinese is conformed by lator dispatches. In the midst of the hottest of the attack on the Gibral tar of China, a number of Chinese took refuge on their warships. The new issue of bonds has been awarded to the John A Stewart syndicate, at 117.077, real izing to the tho government $58,. 500,000. As all of this money will come from outside of the treasury, the gold reserve will be augmented above the $100,000,000 limit. showing Ginn & Co. to be a re putable firm, employing only intelligent and honorable persons. This fact is suflicient evidence to allay all suspicious concerning Mr. Strong. La Grande Chronicle. The brutal butchery of 8,000 to 10,000 Christain Armenians by Turks, in the guise of soldiery in collection of rents, has called forth the indignation of all civilized people. This country has some citizens there and an investigation will be had. The Turks should be wiped off the map. Yesterday was Thanksgiving and many a poor turkey suffered. Indeed the people of our section should be thankful that they are assured of plenty to eat and wear this season. We could be much worse off; in fact were the country where the old regime left it in 1802, with our present abundance of everything, Morrow county and Eastern Oregon would be a veri table paradise. Common Sense Should be used in attempting to cure that very disagreeable disease, catarrh. As catarrh originates in impurities in the blood, local applications oan do no permanent good.

Gooci SoMETiMica the Gazette thinks that Bome partizan newspapers be- come bo partial that their useful ness is more or less impaired, This we should all avoid; and iE wo Bhould differ with our friends on political propositions, we should at least give them the credit of being honest in their convictions. "Silver Dick" Bland says that if tho secretary of the treasury had exercised his option to pay out silver for greenbacks and treasury notes issued nnder the Sherman law, there would have been no drain on the treasury. Dick says France does this and keeps all her money at par. Dick talks a whole lot of hard sense on the silver question. Shall there be a change of Hi'liniil text honks in Oiwon? Certainly not. Jjite will be a burden to such county suporin tendouts as shall vote for such change. Baker City Epigram This may bo putting it a little strong, but the Epigram expresses tho opinion of the people when it doclares against a change of school books. Much depends upon tho teachors in school work. Of course good and reliable books are necessary, but is it likely that our present list of books will bo bettered under tho new law? The Gazette thinks not. And the poople have not the ruoaus to buy now books. In tho main, most of the text books used are up to tho average of those adopted by other states. Gen. Hallinuton Booth, of tho Salvation Army, is coming to I'ortland. A few years ago tho Salvationists were looked upon in derision by many people, but senti ment is changing rapidly in regard to them. Besides laboring earn estly for the salvation of souls, they nre ever ready to help the needy. Many a poor man would have gone hungry last winter down at Portland had it not been for tho Salvation Army soup house whore meals were furnished for little or nothing. Those who could not pay were provided for. They will go anywhere and any placo to do charitable acts, aud the Gazette thinks that if this isn't Godliness, it does not exist. The "lion." Tlunnas N.

Horner were each on the program for toasts, sul jt cts, respectively, "The Tired Teaoh er" and "Society Advancement," but were unable to remain, owing to slight indisposition, till the olose of the exer oises. By request, Otis Patterson, editor of the Gazette, otlioiated as toastmaster. The responses wore all unusually good All in all, it was a grand success, though by a slight misunderstanding all could not be seated at the first table, and those who ware compelled to wait perhaps, grew somewhat impatient at the delay calmed by the generous "toasting. e.liuisdiiy's pension. The institute having beeu called to order by Stipl. Balsiter, the third day's session was opeued with souga by the choir. Following some announcements made by the Supt., Prof Wier discussed Beading, Oral Spelling aud Oral Lau 'gunge, dwelling brietly ou tho merits of aud the numerous Fractions. He presented some methods of rapid oaloulation and adyiseJ teachers to shorteu the work of solving problems every possible way. Prof. Brown then discussed Geography, stating that in this the teacher should never lose sight of the general prinoiple, "Proceed from the known to the related unknown." It was closed by a general discussion. NOON. The afternoon session was opened with songs by the ohoir. Prof. Wetzell then discussed History, explaining the importance of illustration. He advised the use of progressive maps. Intermiseion. Prof. Wier now disoussed the Bubjeot of Grammar. He dwelt for some time on the essentials of that branob and the order of study of the same. He advised many and varied exoroisas and the use of different text books for referenoe. Prof. Brown next briefly disoussed Physiology mentioning the importanoe of oonstant review and other exoellent points. The query box, a most interesting feature of the institute, was then opened and the questions ably answered by Prof. Wier, though he acknowledged previously that he was no "walking encyclopedia." A short business meeting was then held. The seoretary, MiBS May Bailey, was then requested to read the minutes, which were approved. The committee on resolutions, con sisting of Misses Ada Jones, Ada Red ford and Mr. Jay Shiuley, was then oalled upon (or their report. The reso lutions were auoepted. Supt. Baisiger then made some closing remarks mentioning that the duty of every teaoher was to take some edu cational journal and that an Oregon State Beading Circle would be organized and meetings held in different parts of the county, probably at Heppner and Lexington. Prof, Wier and Prof. Wetzell alsooommented on the numerous advantages of suoh a circle for the teacherB and those interested in educa tion. After a social chat indulged in by all, the institute adjourned and all departed feeling that through the faithful efforts and untiring energy displayed by the able conductors of this institute, the time had been profitably and pleasantly spent by all. CURRENT TOPICS IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS. The suggestion that every teacher, whether in city, village ordistrict sohool should strive to interest bis pupils in the study of current topios, is an exoellent one. The primary object of sohool instruction is not merely to carry the pupils through so many text books on so many different subjects, but so to gnide their growing minds as to develop the best manhood and woman hood. To accomplish these results, the teaoher must go outside the text-books, must put life into his teaohing.and must connect the sohool work with the life and thought of the day, especially the broader thought of the great outside world as yet but little known to the pupils in the sohools. The first requisite for the successful study of ourrent topioB in the schools is a teacher who is himself in sympathy and in ooutaot with the best thought of the day. The next requisite is a journal that can be nsed as a text-book; one that will furnish the neoessary record of events and oomment thereon, with a good range and variety of reading. With suoh a journal, the teaoher can make the study of ourrent topios of great benefit, not only to the scholars but to himself, A weekly journal that fairly presents all eideB of every important public question, and that admirably meets the require ments for the study of ourrent topios in the sohools, ia Public Opinion, publish ed at Washington, P. C, at $2.50 per year. A contribution of ten cents apiece from 25 pupils will pay for Public Opinion fur one year, or five cents apiece will pay for it f,r six months. The weekly issues oan be nsed as text-books in the reading classes, and if preserved and bound they make a valuable addition to our nnoleus .for a school library. Send for a speoimen copy.

A Busy. Representative. Represen tative-elect Boothby was seen by a Ga zette reporter Wednesday. In response to an inquiry as to what line of work he proposed to pursue at the ooming session o' the legislature, he responded that at the present his time s taken up principally with ranch duties. However, at odd times he is devoting some attention to measures which he proposes tointroduoe. Among them is an amendment to present assess ment law. He thinks that township assessments would best subserve the interests of the people, and further that indebtedness on real estate should be allowed in the list of exemptions. Mr. Boothby is also interested in the portage road scheme at the dalles of the Col umbia, and will also piepare a memorial to oongress on the question of free silver coinage of the American product, ask ing that suoh coinage shall be protected by a duty on foreign silver, hoping that onr legislature will take cognizanoe of the great neoessity for suoh national legislation and endorse it by passing it through both houses. The Gazette pre dicts that Mr. Boothby will make him self heard at Salem next winter, aud that he will establish a record for energy and general usefulness not exceeded by any representative ever sent from Morrow oounty. FOR INVENTIONS. Eaual with the interest of those having claims against the government Is that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain tnew patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli. able solicitors to procure patents, for the value of a patent depends greatly, if not entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys, and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re tained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to ' Obtain Patents In the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct I terierences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases, Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinions as to Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc. If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to. gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If others are infringing on your rights, or if you are charged with infringement by others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the matter.
