SILVER GOING VP.

frage. WORK OF THE LKGISLATl'RE.
Silver has been on the upvavd
grade for several days, and wheat
and other products have also taken
a jump. Every time silver goes
up, there is a corresponding fall in
gold, or in other words, a part of
the unearned purchasing power of
gold is taken away. Naturally
then the world's products will buy
more gold.
The Portland Sun in referring
to the advance in the price of
silver says:
"Several explanations of the
continued rise in the price of
ftilvcr are advanced. One is the
fact that England seems disposed
to join the proposed bimetallic
congress, with a far stronger
English sentiment behind the
proposition for international bi
metallism , than ever before.
Another is that China will need a
largo amount of silver to settle
with Japan. Still another that
Spain is buying a good deal of
silver, to use in its suppression of
the insurrection of Cuba. l'rob
ably another and even more potent
cause than all is the fact, becoming
every day more apparent, that the
silver sentiment in the United
States is growing bo rapidly, and
finding widespread and deep
lodgment oven in the financial
centers of tho I last; so much so
that it is probable all political
parties will declare noxt year for
tree, unlimited, and independent
coinage.
"At any rate, whatever the
cause, or whether all these causes
aro combined to produco the result,
there has been a rapid and grati
fying rise in the price of silver,
and, concurrently, and conse
quently, in the price of wheat and
other products."

From the Eugene Journal.
The preRs, with a few honorable ex
ceptions, bag been filled with vitupera
tion and unjust criticisms of the 1811)
benuial session of the Oregon legislature
which closed at midDight, b'eb. 23. It
seems to be fashionuble of late years to
sneer at the legislature and whatever it
may do or leave undone. With an air
of superior wisdom and virtue, which
seems to afford them great pleasure and
adds largely to their self importance,
Certain editors who know little and care
lass about the interests and wishes of
toe peoplp, assume that everything that
was done was wrong, and they objeot to
all that was done and to all that was not
done. They charge sins of commission
and sins of omission, and And nothing
ti their liking. They are shocked
beyond measure at the extravagance
and proiligaoy of the men they helped
to elect. They declare they never saw
anything like it before they are the
worst lot of man that ever disgraoed
legislative halls.
At every succeeding session these
stale slanders and silly lies are repeated
and worked over in every conceivable
form. Unlike the tailings of a placer
mine, the more they are worked the
riohcr they appear to be. As far bak as
the memory of man runneth, these
birds of evil omen, who defile their own
nests and assume that thev are the
only truly good and perfectly honest
people on earth, have declared that
each legislature was the worst ever
known and the like of it could never be
seen again. But at the next session
they ooutradict themselves, and say it is
fur worse than the other, whioh they
lid could never be equalled, and so on
from one absorbity to another, alwayB
declaring that the last was the worst.
A man who , maliciously misrepresents
and slanders a private citizen and
injures him in the eeB of his neighbor
ami be prosecuted and puuished in the
courts. But the men who are elected
by their fellow citizens to make laws,
elect United States senators Btid perform
other important duties, have no pro
tection in the courts. This system of
misrepresenting and grossly slandering
egislators, in a manner that would Dot
be tolerated among neighbors, has be
come an evil and needs reforming more
than anything in American politics. It is
corrupting the minds of the people aud
breeding dinnotitwit, Bilspioion, jealousy,
envy aud crime. The men who start
these slanderi through disappointment
mill malice, engendered by the defeat of
some pet scheme 1y which they hope to
plunder a city, in the name of "eoouomy
aud reform," or elect a man who would
lavor a financial system which constantly
makes the rich richer aud increases the
burdens of nine tenths of mankind, are
worse than c inmon bar-room or gutter
snipe liars. They do much harm mid
no good. The men who repeat these
lien, ignorautly or tiici'liiwimilly, wit li
mit iuvi iillgulloli, are not so bad
although their work is none the less
injurious.
As every legiHlatnio is worse than the
preceding one, in tho eyes of these bogus
ri formers, it is nut surprising that they
have bad ti search the dictionaries and
the slums to find language disreputable
enough to apply to the legislature which
udj, turned two week ago. Notwith
standing this eruption of abuse and filth,
it is doubtful whether Oregon nver had
a beltler set of men in any legislature
limn in the last one or ever had better
work done. In the matter where Ihe
most fault has linen found, it was just
the opposite of what had been cbirged,

When all the world is robed in white
And merry night,
By moon and itars la rendered bright,
And everywhere the ilelghbell,
Klngi out to tell
The Ule that lover love too well,
With joy I capture pretty Flo
And off we go
Across the glittering fields of snow.
Our Blelgh just large enough for two,
Who want to woo
And keep unfrozen while they do.

Around her waist,
Ami found her lips just to my taste.
She shows no trace of alarm
For what's the harm?
Thus on we speed past cot and farm,
Heigh! What now?" we'd laugh and shout.
We're tumbling out
The snow is cold beyond a doubt.
We climb again Into the sleigh,
In blithe array;
And quickly learn we've lost our way,
Yes, lost our way, alas, alack,
Wecan't get back
Here comes a storm upon our track!
In yonder cottage shines a light
It's hardly right
But there we'll have to stay all night
And who should answer at the door
But Parson Bore,
Who's oft seen runaways before;
And since he has but one spare bed,
We all turn red,
And Flo and I we just got wed.

The Queer Experience of Santa Claus at
fiahilay School:
There Was to be a "Sandy Claws" at
the Koonville Baptist church for tha
Sunday school scholars, and elaborate
preparations had been made for the
event. There had been Christmas trees
at the church since time out of mind,
but there had never been a Santa
Claus, and old and young alike were
all agog over the expected treat. The
announcement had gone forth that St,
Nick was to visit the church by way
of the chimney on Christmas Eve and
hang presents on the tree for the chu
dren. and as a consequence expectation
ran high among the small folk of
Uoonville.
A certain young man who was some
what popular on account of previous
performances was selected to imper
sonate Santa Claus. For the pur'posrt
he had provided himself with white
whiskers and wig and coat and cap
trimmed with fur. With these and
his face reddened with carmine he
made a very presentable figure of the

MONSTER POPULATION OF ANfS
Thej Teach lessons In Industry and
Perfert Governmeut.
There are more anks to the square
mile In Florida than in any other
country in the world, says a writer in
the Savannah News. There are ants
which w ill measure more than half an
Inch in length, and then there are ants
so small that they can scarcely be seen
to move with the unaided eye. There
are fed ants and black ants aud
troublesome nuts. lint, as bad as they
are, I have never heafd of ihem eating
out the seat of a man's trousc i-s. as a
missionary, Rev. Mr. Wilson, once told
the writer he saw the army ants do in
India while the man was sitting on
the earth for a few minutes beside him.
But the Florida ants will take out
the lettuce and other minute seeds
from the soil in which they are plant
ed, and actually destroy the bed. They
will suck the life out of acres of young
cucumbers and melon plants, uproot
strawberry plants or cover the buds
with earth to such an extent as to kill
them. They will get into pie, pickle,
sauce, sirup, sugar, on meat, in hash,
will riddle a cake or fill a loaf of
brker's bread till it is wofthlcss.
All remedies failing, I took to bait
ing them near their nests with slices
of meat, bones, apple and pear par
ings, and when I had from fifty thou
sand to one hundred thousand out
turned a kettle of boiling water on
them. I have killed during the last
week'over one million in the space of a
quarter-acre lot, and I have almost
whipped them out. I had to do this to
secure any lettuce plants, and many
observant farmers complain of seeds
men when they should attribute their
troubles to insects.
It is very curious and instructive io
see how promptly the ants which es
cape the scalding go to work taking
out the dead, and, after pulling them
outside first, then go to excavating
again and rebuilding their cells and
runways. This being done very quick
ly the next work on hand is the laying
in of a supply of food by hauling the
dead bodies of the hot-water victims
into their storehouses.
You may see a smalj black ant haul
ing and tugging at tho carcass of a red
ant twenty times its own weight, and
he always succeeds in the end in haul
ing it in the -rehouse of the colony.
Next you mayce a sort of ambulance
corps searching for the disabled.
These are taken to the underground
house, where the surgeons and nurses
are in waiting. Then, too, you may
see the timekeepers and bosses direct
ing this on or turning another back
on some errand or to some other duty.
There is not a moment's delay, no
halting feet, no idle hands, but all
move as if it was their last day on
earth and this was the only hour left
in which to redeem a misspent life.
For lessons in industry and perfect
government go to the ants.
