TO .!! tiii: c.tisi:, Ilinuer Ileriuitiiit to Work for Kivrrit unci llnrbom, Hinder Her cann, Repitnentat ve to Congress from the First District, left for Washington lst night ovs-r the Northern Pacific, pays the Oregonian. He will hurry straight through so as to 0 before the Hoiife committee on rivers and hatbo'b, which will adjourn the end of nest week after having pre pared recommendations for river and haibor appropriationH. Unless Oregon shall be fallv repre sented before the committee, appropri ations for rivers and harbors in this state may be pruned even lower than the Chief of Engineers has cut down the e timates of Major Lang tt. Though the Columbia River does not touch his distiict, Mr. Hermann recognizes Jta n 'eds as the moit important that the Oregon members of Congress will have to u ge at the .National capital. Luck ily Congress is disposed to be generous with the C lumbia, no doubt because the river is one of the largest in the United States. Thus testified Mr. Her mann last night, and added: "It has alwavs been comparatively easy to get appropriations for the Col umbia River. It is a great stream and Congress is aware of its importance. A verv kindly spirit prevails at Washing ton as to the Columbia." Mr. Hermann, ppoke of the praning given to the estimates of Major Lang fitt by the Chief of Engineers as "veiy unfortunate" and as requiring the im mediate presence of the Oregon delega tion at Washington. But for tl e fact that his testimony was required yester day in this city in the land-fraud trials, Mr. Hermann would have started Eapt earlier. Senator Mitchell is probably there now, as he intended to eat Ttianksgiving turkey at Washington. Senator Fulton will arrive Monday. "It is customary," said Mr. Her mann, "for the House committee, in drawing up the river and harbor bill, to foljw the recommendations of the Chief of Engineers; indeed, it is al most an unwritten law that his esti mates shall not be raised," 'Then, will it be iriipostible to hav the Chief of Engineer's estimates for the Columbia raised?" was asked. "No," responded Mr. Hermann, 'I do not say that. It may be possible to raise the House figures in the Se a'e. In the House, however, the recommen dations of the Chief of Engineers my be reduced in order to keep down the total of the appropriations to the ei:;u that the House leaders deem ex pedient." Mr. Hermain do b t ot forget the leBser harbors on the coast of O fgo-i, such &s Tillamook and Coos Ray and the Siuslaw River, and savs that he will bend his energies to have them recognized in the next river and harbor b 11. He is thoroughly convinced ot the efficacy of dredging and w !l en deavor to Becure appropriations for small sea dredges for the lesser harbors. He is of the opinion that tie dredge Chinook has done more towatd deepen ing the Columbia bar than ha been credited to it. Out of Jail on Short Trip. John Day, Or., Nov. 17. George Elliott, held in the county on a charge of horsestealing, made his ep- cape in a very mysterious fashion last j night. Pursuit was immediately taken op and the man was recaptured at Beech creek, hhlf way to his former j borne on the northern range. He has j been brought back to jail and will j answer to the charge against him at the j next terra of the circuit court j Elliott's capture is due to the alarm j given by his fe'low-prisiners when he , broke out. The otLer jail inmates, heard the key turn in the door and Eili-itt leave his c'.ose quarters. It is supposed that some frhnd of the prison er climbed in over a transom in the i eherifTs office. The key to the cell was in the lock on the ou'slde and the rest was easy. A reward wr b immediately offered f r the return of the escape. Betas Built as n Uesalt of an Act of the l'enusylvaul I.evialature. Under an act of the legislature of 1901 there ie quite an epidemic of soldiers' monuments building throughout the state. The advantages ottered by the act are just beginning to be understood and taken advantage of. Every county seat not now provided with a suitable soldiers' monument is pretty certain tc have one within a few years, eays the Philadelphia Press. The act in question was prompted bj the fact that in a number of counties the effort to raise a sufficient amount ol money by private subscription to erect memorials to the dead of the war of the rebellion had failed. Considerable amounts had been contributed in some instances, but not enough, as was the case in Delaware county, where a monu ment completed at the expense of the county was dedicated a few weeks ago The project had been in hand many years, and it is doubtful if it would ever have been finished if the county had noi been authorized to come to the rescue. In other instances, soldiers' memorials have been Incumbered, but the obliga tion can now be lifted by the county out of the county moneys, and has been in several cases. Under t he terms of the act it is neces sary for at least 50 citizens of t he county to petition the court of quarter sessions for the erection or completion of a monu ment or to pay debts heretofore con tracted for the erection and construction of such monument. By the court the matter is laid before tho grand jury, are1 if approved by two successive grand Juries and the court the ccunty eomrois sioners shall be authored t.o pay any and all debts contrtcd fr the erection of a monument, to romplrt" it or to erect a new one, ard maintain Tt the county seat a suitable mor.i'rnert to the p.oldlers and sailors of the rebellion. There is no rea?jon under such a law why any coun ty hould Ions h without a proper memorial to the patriotism and bravery of tho?? who offered their lives for theii country. Nor is it likely Rry county whirh doep not now have a monument will foil, tc take s.rivantage of the opportunity of fered. If any has rot already done so, it is because the enr hling net hns not be come well understood. The finances of a county must be in depprite condition indeed to compel the PUthorlMfg to re fuse an Appeal fron olr" "-oh' -'- for p memorial to their depart-?;! rorrades It is doubtful if tho i rr r.nty In tV commonwealth In nny fuoh straits, and In every instance the expenditure of 8 reasonable sum for such purpose would certainly have popular approval. All over the tate the work is in progress and in a short time Pennsyl vania will have the distinction which rc other state enjoys, of having a public memorial to its soldiers and sailors at every county seat. These monument! should be erected under intelligent and artistic direction. REMARKABLE PROCLAMATION. TkrM Mlllioa f abject of th Cmr of Roiilt Forbidden to Carry Arm. Th governor of the great Ruseian dis trict of Kharkoff, which lies between the Don and the Dnieper, and has a popu lation of nearly 3,000,000, has issued a remarkable proclamation of which some hint has already been given in the cable dispatches, says a London report. After forbidding the inhabitants to carry arms or weapons of any description "daggers, brass-knuckles, sword-caber, knives, etc." without special permis sion from th police, the proclamation continues: "Dealers In firearms, ammunition and explosives are required to have a de tailed list of suah on their books. They may deliver such only to persons au thorized by the police to buy them, and must keep a record of the names and addresses of 6uch persona, exactly speci fying each sale. "The proprieton of workshops, fac tories and other Industrial establish ments as also persona holding such establishment on lease or as managers, and their foremen, are required scrupu lously to watch that their men are not made the object of incitement to revolt on the part of revolutionary agents, and they are to report such rev olutionary agents to the police and aid In their arrest and in the seizure of anything, such aa prohibited pamphlets or books, seditious proclamations, or secret manuscripts, that may secure their conviction. All persons are pro hibited from circulating reports of an ticipated public disturbances cither oral ly or In writing, and from r-Trrizinp wthout permission of the P"nrities any Stind of collection or lottery. "Forters and night watchmen of 1ones are required always to lerd nc Mvp Riane to he police lrnrn,''int 1t they ar called upon to do so. ITous" ivrriT? ar" ullowM to enrsre for these duties rn!v persons whose slcHon ! approved by the police, and they mv r.ot dismiss them without informing the latter." The povernor'a notification alo pro vide for th trcnnhnlrH and the rig-: rom reprint I on of tb service of right , wntchmen. H rovrludr wffji the warning that "anyone breaking these orders will render himself Viihlc to a' fine rot exepdlng 5M rubles (1270), or: to three months' imprisonment." So uk bt to Make an Impreaaion on a Woman who Tried to Avoid Hlin. The youns man who occupied a seat on the bench in the corner drug store seemed well satisfied with himself. He had pulled his trouser legs well up to preserve their careful crease and was dis playing a generous section of gaudy stockings above hi3 low-cut patent leather shoes. His hat was pushed t.o the back of his head to give full effect to a parted bang that looped on each side over his forehead. Hi3 turnover collar pressed weli asrai.-.st his- chin and was decoratc-d in the center by a dimln uti ve plaid how. His cuffs were large and glossy and he seemed conscious of every one of these details and to approve of them perfectly, relates the Chicago Daily New 3. He had just lighted a cigar at the swinging gas jet over the counter and its smoke seemed to annoy the woman who was also seated on the bench, wait ing for her car. Perhaps it was the smoke and perhaps it waa the general effect of the young man. A puff of smoke floated over to the woman and she coughed coughed loud ly and pointedly but the serene com placence of the youth was in no wise dis turbed. He turned around & little stiffly, because of the collar and the in dignant look that he received ought to have been enough for him. It was not, however, and the woman rose and walked to the other side of the store. At that moment the door opened and a stout elderly woman with several bundles and three children entered and made for the bench. The young man did not move at first, but one of the chil dren kicked against him with her swinging fret and he shifted a little, re adjusting his trousers. The action drew the child's ?.tti-ntion to the stockings and she pointed to them. "See, mam ma!" she cried. "Ye,' said the matron in loud, cheer ful tones. 'They're pretty, ain't they? Look at the little reel flowers in 'cm, Ain't they sweet? Like sister Maggie's fancy bag, ain't they?" The other children slid off their seats to obtain a better view of the gorgeous hose. The young man turned a little red, but continued to smoke. The woman who had left the bench seemed pleased and inter: s'ed. "And see the pretty, hiny shoe,' continue c1. the stout woman. The children drew a little closer to the shoes and gazed at them in open' mouthed admiration. It was too much. The young man rose and .evading the eye of the grinning drug clerk, left the store. As for the woman who had left the bench, she bought a lalf-pound box q( chocolates and gave them to the children. Whatever the explanation may be, there is unfortunately a contempt for education throughout all classes in this country. Naturally, therefore, our edu cation is the worst of any highly-civilized Country, says the London Statist. And because it ia so we are gradually iosinc around and our competitors are forging ahead of us. We are losing ground, not alone in trade and manufac tures, but in every department of life j".;r whole government system is ineffi- : nt to a surprising dgree. What our .rmy is we saw iu South Africa. Wnai our administrative departments are we .iave had of late several disconcerting .llustrstiona. If. then, we are to recover our old ,)laof in the world it is in the highest de- :rs desirable that we should reform mr system of education and supply all lasses from the highest to the lowest vith a r?al and scientific mental train- r.r. In order t& oppose logically Mr riamherlaln's proposals there ia no .tod to deny that this country does not csld now the position of preeminence v-kich it h?ld formerly. Indeed, we ven ire to think that reasonable and louphtful men like Lord Rosebery athcr Injure the cause they have at ieart than promote it by making such a denial. THE BULL-FIG 3TERS GRIT.
