e and a very iuxtructive eco
nomic truth at that. Agricultural
dintrictM are the favorite haunt of
famine. Iiidust rial dintrict ureal
most wholly exempt from it. There
ha not been a famine, or anything
approaching it, in New Kngland
within the memory of living men;
hut men of middle age can recall a
score of what might be culled by
that inline in (he agricultural

ine in Old Knglatnl, but the Irihh
famine of 1H'.I ntill linger liken
nightmare in the mind of men.
In this country we have hud local
tillering from want of fond in Ibt-
kota. Kana and Texa within the

strange to nay, are all agricultural
ami pastural producers of grain
and meat.
The IcMnii which tlne fact

dangerous. Continuous raiing of
food imt only does not exempt a
population from want of fiHid, but
exme them lo it. Diversification

agriculture in creating wealth and
making it isipulatinti comfortable

There must ! factories a well

It will 1m seen tlint tho Oregon
republicans rolled up a majority of
m arly four to ono for Harrison over
Plaine, This was in part duo to
the republican gains from immigra
tion, but more cHpecially was it duo
to the free trade attitude into which
the southern leaders hud forced tho
Icinncralic party under the Cleve
land administration. p,y their su
perior organization tho republicans
were in a Msitioit to force-the fight
on tiietaritl issue, uml in inanv
Icmocratic wnol counties in eastern
Oregon democrats wore wool taghs ks
in their buttonholes, nnd returns
showed big republican gains. While
the tiirill was the issue of success,
the republican state central commit
tee deserves great credit for the re
markable victory of lh8. As usu
al t'ue democratic iiurtv was the
biggest coiilribtit jr to republican
sili'tl's.
Any direful observer who ha
noted the chnrncter of the immigra
tion to Oregon in tlm past two
years must conclude, in view of the
ulmve facts, (hut Oregon will give
a safe republican majority on June
2, IViti. Put it will not do to trust
to Ihe apparently fitvoriible condi
tion of thing siliticnl. As Mr.
Pin 'in is known to bo opposed to
si vmg again great care will have
to be exercised ill the selection of
a chairman of the new state central
entnmittcc. The selection of irood
tried mm for the county chairman
ships i alo iinH)rtant. Men of ex
ecutive ability and great iuntery
of d. tail are required. No doubt
such can lie found to prepare the
deserved Waterloo for the democ-
mcv.
Put working republican in all
part of the stale need not wait for
the ticket to lie put up, nor instruc
tions from the central committee.
Tlie small bit of work in every
nook uml conur of the state count
far more than the band and the
torchlight demonstrations. The
battle for supremacy in tho state
will be hotly contested and every
one must Is-ar his part. Clubs for
reliable republican pilars nro its
cllcitive a any work that can be
done, and if you get only ono or
two names do not hesitate to send
them in, and contribute your tnito
to electing a clear straight ticket
throughout. Capital Journal.

Democratic bulldozing methods
are w ell illustrated by the doings ut
Klmwood, Smith county, Tennessee,
where the new republican post
master w as so H'recuted by a gang
of democrats, who sought to drive
him from otlico and from the town,
that he made application to the de
partment at Washington for half a
lozen good Winchester rillei with
which to protect himself from the
leniocritt.i. A poHtoflico inspector
made examination of tho situation,
and found that the postmaster had
good foundation for his complaint.
The rillcs appeared to bo needed
very badly by tho occupant of the
ollice, for tho mob not only dragged
down the Stars nnd Stripes which
the postmaster had run up over his
building, but they attacked tho
pout master and his son with shot
guns and crippled the latter for life,
The lender of the gang was tho do
poHed democratic postmaster. Ho
and several other ringleaders wero
arrested and put in jail for this dis
play of ollensivo partisanship. Sa

There is no otic more disagreeable
than an extremely sel(ih person,
ono who wraps himself up in his
own business or pleasure. Yet there
it a certain selfishness whwhshould
be cultivated for the ako of others
-om should hot" overwork even
when doing for others. In such a
case present selfl-luus is future
generosity. One should not be suel
a constant worker us to neglect per
sonal preparation -for the future.
Mot hurl ofUai, in their anxiety to
care for the net-d of their house
holds, neglect almost entirely such
mtsoiiu1 improvement us is abso
lutely essential for their future
work. Parent should be ambitious
to improve its they grow older for
the sake of their future inllueneo
upon their children, a they are nt
present to do their utmost for their
development. And this they can
not do without that degree of self
islmes necessary for self improve
ment. Whether Hellish noss be

The following enumeration of
blunders it would be well for every
ono to commit to memory who
would have that charity which i
not ns sounding brass nnd tinkling
cymbal, and who would W on goinl
terms with themselves and those
around them: To yield to immate
rial trifles; to endeavor to mould
all positions alike; to look for per
fection in our own actions; to ex
pect uniformity of opinion in this
world; to expect to be aide to un
derstand everything; to measure
tho enjoyment of otheis by your
own; to ludievc only what oift finite
mind can grasp; to look for judg
ment nnd experience in youth; not
to ninke allowance fur the infirmi
ties of others; to consider every
thing impossible that we cannot
perform; to worry ourselves nnd oth
er with what cannot bo rcmoditfd;
not to alleviate all that needs alle
viating ns fur as lies in our power;
it is a grand mistake to set up our
own standard of right and wrong,
und judge people accordingly.
