CoNGKKtis is still worrying over the an tics of ex-members as lobbyists on the floor. There is a very easy solution of the question. Let congress repeal the absurd rule that admits ex-members to the floor anil excludes all other respect able citizens. There is nothing in the make-up ot an ex-congressman that en titles him to privileges not granted to other outsiders. Let 'em go to the galler ies with the rest of Ui folks who have business in Washington. Then they will not he able to command higher salary as lobhviMn than other mortals. PjiiMUHiNT Clktslanb has not dis played very good sense in his ap pointment of Jasper Johnson as spe cial land agent a fellow who has been a hummer ia Washington for years past, and is no more an Oregonian than he is a democrat. He deserted his wife in 1373 and left her in destitution. The -people of Oregon irrespective of party pro test against him, and his creditors here do not hesitate toexprese a suspicion that he lias been given office in order to make a false report in the interest of timber and land sharks. Sunday Welcome. Thk American citizen who doesn't set tle down in his chair with a great deal of mental as well as physical satisfaction and increased appreciation of his country and its laws, when he reads in the dis patches of how the poor Bavarians have to tolerate insanity on the throne simply because of birth title, ought to move to one of those Swiss mountain villages where the people are nearly all idiotic through intermarriage, and play the part of retriever for a simpleton chamois hunt er. Welcome. A m agazine in Brooklyn is endeavoring to find out from its readers the name of the ablest newspaper in the United States. It has secured 206 responses from its readers and the Boston Herald heads the list. This would indicate thai the period ical in question circulate mostly is New England. The Boston Herald is a news paper of unquestioned ability. At the same time it most not be forgotten that the steady reader of a newspaper usually holds that the paper which he favors with his endorsement is an able paper, and it must be if it is able to satisfy him. A despatch h peaks of a "novel" suit brought is Logansport, IncL, against a church for ringing its chimes to the det riment of an invalid in neighboring house. Such a snit is not noveL The contest between chimes and the public has been going on for some years. In most large cities the public has won. Ex cepting ia rural districts, it is unfair, both to the people in health and the1 sick, to disturb the peace of Sunday by clanging hells. The bells are only poetical and musical when heard at a distance. The escape of W. W. Saunders, con victed of murder in the first degree, from the linn couuty jail, is another reminder that the officers of the law cannot be too vigilant in such cases. Had the prison er had a guard, or been more closely watched, there would now be no occa sion for the offer of $1000 reward, or a search that will probably be fruitless. Steasge varieties of bovcott develop -every day. The latest form is reported from Fayette County, III., where the farm ers have agreed to sow no more wheat for three seasons to come in order to starve oat the chinch-bugs. The chinch bugs are thoroughly organized, and the struggle will be one of great interest.: Tub fourteen miles of street railway in Glasgow are owned by the city and bring to the treasury a rental of f 76,000 annual ly. There is no uniform rate of fare, but a penny a mile is charged, with reduced rates morning and evening, when working people travel. - It should be known that all federal offi cers appointed during the vacation of the senate must, after confirmation by that liody, file new bonds, and we' believe this has to be done before t" adjournment of congress. . Tas outlook for Gladstone and home rule fcr Ireland is becoming more gloomy. The "appeal to the country" bids fair to return adverse results from those intend ed. ' The fight has been a lively and bit ter one. Trb next thing on Salem's programme is a woolen mill. We must have it and we will have it, sooner or later if not in the near future then it will come in the distant future. The btisinees depression from the sti ikes in the east is dying out. If congress will now adjourn, everybody will be prosper ous and happy. IlmiiABK has been telling the lioys of a ierman university that "it is easier to -rtfii-ie than to govern." He has tried THE VET POWER. President Cleveland has exercised the power of veto to a considerable extent thus far during his term of office, but the most of bis veto messages have been against pension bills, about which there was some irregularity in the bureau. There is no reason to doubt that the exercise of this power was deserved in some, and probably most instances, but the' reckless abandon with which he has gone at this work leaves open the belief tliat many of them were deserving Bubjecta. The na tion promised to provide for the depend ent families of those who fell, and for sol diers who were crippled or otherwise dis abled during the war." And most nobly has it kept its pledge. The pension list of the nation exceeds the combined pen sion lints of all the European nations, most of which have made war a business for hundreds of years. It exceeds tlie entire expenses of this government before the war. As a further expression of honor, deserving Boldiers were preferred for offi ces for which they were competent. Sir, Cleveland should exercise the utmost care in the matter. Better pension two unde serving than to let one deserving subject go witltout the help that was promised him and his dependent family. PRsaKPECTlVK OarHAtiAGE. The two leading mugwump organs of New York have got the country into a di lemma thai it will take delicate states manship to extricate us from. Harper's Weekly declares that no other democrat than Mr. Cleveland can be elected in LS8S. Then it predicts Mr. Cleveland's defeat by the bad democrats of the south who wanted the spoils. The Evening Post says that Blaine cannot possibly be elected if he is nominated by the republi cans, and that if any other republican is nominated the Blaise men will turn in and defeat him. That's the situation, and we must get along the best way we can without any president after the foarth of March, 1888. We suppose it is the feeling of prospect ive orphanage that so wrought upon some fellow in congress that he introduced a bill to allow Mr. Cleveland to hold over until April first instead of going out like his predecessors on the fourth of March. Twenty-six days isn't much, but it is bet ter than nothing when subtracted from the time we sliall be without any chief magistrate. AK 0TEJ8IVE rAKTISAX. If there is an offensive partisan hold ing a federal position in this country, that man is surely Eugene Higgins, of the treasury department. He is a disgrace to the country. The following is a Chi cago Tribune special from Washington : No man appointed to office since the advent of this administration has receiv ed the abuse and condemnation of so large a number of people as Eugene Hig gins, appointment clerk of the treasury department But with all the criticisms no one has yet found out that he once held the position of under keeper at Libby prison, in Bichmond, daring the war. Higgins, it is said, was appointed to the place named, and remained there until just before the surrender of Gen. Lee. It is tlierefore not surprising that he pos sesses such hatred for republicans, and especially for ex -Union Boldiers, a large number of whom he has been mainly in strumental in having dismissed from the treasury department. The supreme court of the District of Columbia has decided that the Indian is a foreigner. This is possibly a peculiar decision, but is not a surprise, coming from the supreme court of the District of Columbia. By the way, what is the use of a supreme court in the District of Col umbia, anyway? Isn't it a virtual inter loper, if not a foreigner? A police court or two would apparently be sufficient to do Washington business. Judge Dundy, of the U. 8. court for the district of Neb raska, some time ago decided that the Indian is not a foreigner but a citizen and a voter outside of his tribal relations, and the judge is right or our constitution doesn't know what it is talking about when it defines citizenship and forbids distinction on account of race, color or previous condition. Louise Michel is not satisfied with the expulsion of the Princes from France. To make the policy effective she insists that all the officials of the country, from Jules Grevy to the humblest village mayor, should be expelled also. "What good," she exclaims, "does the banish ment of the Princes do me, while the capitalists are allowed to remain ? I am choked with disgust. The most terrible thing I know of to-day is life, and I am ao tired of it that I wish they would send me to jail." It is likely that Louise will be gratified in this latter respect, as she is now under indictment for exciting the people to resist the law at the recent meeting of the Chateau d'Eu. Chai'xcev M. Dkpbw, President of the New York Central Railway, is introduc ing an important reform upon that line. He observed that Hudson, when shout ed in the car door, was "Bunpura," Schag ticoke tieeame "choke" and Poughkeepnie was "Pipsv," and be is determined to stop it. Listen yedowntrodden and despondent quill-sliover! President Cleveland was once local reporter lor the liutlalo Courier. j TVKOTOXICON. Of the joys that bloom in the summer, perhaps none have had so wide and per manent a popularity as the ice cream. Many a young man who is fond ot some other fellow's Bister can testify to the craving the gentler sex have for the cold confection. It is, therefore, a sad truth that every generous swain is in danger of treating his beloved to cold poison unless he exercises great discretion. There are, doubtless, young men so economical that they will rejoice in the opportunity at present granted them of telling their be trothed that ice cream some times con tains tyrotoxicon. "Won't you have a glass of soda water instead, my dear?" the penurious young man will exclaim, with a grim smile, as he feels in his pocket for a 10-cent piece. Of course, no well regulated young woman cares to eat tyrotoxicon even in company with the man of her choice. It seems that Dr. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, Michigan, has discovered that ice cream made of im pure milk often contains the active in gredients of poisonous cheese. The fact that the dangerous germs bear the high soonding Greek name, tyrotoxicon, does not alter the fact that they may carry disease and death to all who Bwallow them. In fact, they have been doing fa' tal work this very season. At Newton, Mich., a number of per sons have been poisoned by eating ice cream, containing cheese-poison, and, it seems probable, that nearly 200 villagers in New Jersey are ill from the same cause. It is really startling to think of the countless varieties of microbes, germs, bacilli, and bacteria which are ever war ing against man's health and life. In water, air, and food are billions of little rascals trying to find some weak spot in our vital organs, and now the luxurious jee cream has proved untrue to the hu man race! Some time ago a convention of niicro- seopists was held at Cleveland, Ohio. A learned professor said that while exam ining, under a powerful microscope, a human tooth, in a healthy man's mouth, he found it covered with countless bac teria. On applying the microscope to the teeth of another man he found them perfectly free from bacteria. Investiga tion showed that the last man had just been drinking whisky. There is much food for reflection in this striking occur rence. Bacteria, it seems, are prohi bitionists by temperament. The New York World suggests that, such being the fact, they perish in the presence of alcohol. Now, of course, ice cream fla vored with a little rum of whisky, might not be especially desirable as a summer delicacy ; but would it not be free from the tyrotoxicon germs? It is not plei ant to think of abolishing ice cream alto gether, and, on the other hand, cheese poison is, by no means, edible. There may be compromise in some such way as is suggested above. Will the scientists kindly report at an early, day their con clusions in the matter? APING BOYALTY. London, June 26. Mrs. Mackay is about to achieve a rare social triumph. This is only her second season in London yet the Prince of Wales has promised to be present at the dinner sue gives on Monday. The above is a telegram to the New York World. It carries with it a world of suggestions. And who is the Prince of Wales, that a woman like Mrs. Mackay Bhould contrive to win his recognition? Is he anything more than a man? Does he have any more than the five sense ac corded to other humans, or even the ex ercise of them in any extraordinary de gree? Outside of the accident of his birth, is he not a man of very ordinary and mediocre ability and attainments? But he was "born great." He is a scion of royalty, and will be the king of Eng land in the event of the death or abdica tion of his royal mother, Queen Victoria. But the world moves. And it is moving away from the absurd and ancient relics of darkness and ignorance, the institution of rule by the right of birth. Our own country of the free-should blush with shame that one of its daughters is over on English soil paying tribute to royalty, that ghost of the dark past! Look at France. She has stamped the institution out from her borders. She still tolerates titles, but that relic of royalty will also fade away with the progress of time, and the royalty of England will fade away, and the future ages will look back on the time when such tilings existed with cred ulity, and wonder, and pity. The time is coming, and coming swiftly, when men will be respected and honored for their true worth and traits of manhood, abilities, and attainments, and not for the mere accident of their birth. Then there will exist that true democracy con ceived by our revolutionary forefathers, who declared that all men are created free and equal. Neither is democracy communism. That hideous word, that stands for a-vague and meaningless noth ing, should find no abiding place in our vocabulary of patriotic devotion. It does not belong to us, and is not a part of our institutions. It is a growth transplanted from the hotbeds of the oppression of royalty. ,1 I The Fourth of July, with all of its grand-frequence and fizzissitudes, has come and gone, and the country is safe for another year. 1 1 OUR SATURDAY NIGHT. Editor Htatbsman : I stand on the verge of the fourth of July with cotton in my ears and an awful lurking dread away down under my liver pad. The small boy with the firecrackers is abroad in the land, and the plugugly season is here. Also the "orators of the day" from thous ands of platforms have torn and will tear the tail feathers but of the glorious old eagle bird of freedom, and split the air with patriotic eloquence, all of which will be tolerated and passed casually by, just because it is the fourth of July, and peo ple feel good because it is the birthday of the whole blessed country, and every body has a poetical license to stand on his head and kick his Bhoes off to celebrate the event, if he wants to. If all the ora tions that are delivered in this broad land this year on this auspicious event were collected together and spread in one place, there is no calculating the number of acres they would cover ; and if one of our revo lutionary fathers could lie resurrected for a short time and allowed to take a look at them in all their long-winded proportions, there is no shadow of a doubt at all that he would exclaim something viz: "Is this what I fought, bled and died for? If it is I am glad I am dead, and I will willingly go back to my tomb and rest in peace." The fourth of July is a good institution for ice cream stands and circular swings that "go round and round," and other at tractions, too laborious to mention. It used to be kind of an irrigator of the gar den patch of patriotism, bur it has about outlived its usefulness as this kind of an irrigator, I presume on account of the agitation over "riparian rights" in Cal ifornia. It is now used as a holiday, and very few Americans take time to think or ask where the day was born, or the age of the child. Viewing it thusly, to be popular, and with the majority, like the sinner who preferred to go to hell with the biggest crowd, let the plug uglies form in line, let the sheet iron band play, let the citizens in carriages, in wagons, in ebriated and incognito march in the rear, and let us "enjoy" ourselves if it costs our lives. The 'cute, pretty and droll sayings of the juvenile world are attracting consid erable attention just now. A little Salem girl was strolling about the neighborhood on a tour of observation when the came across a colored man sitting on a door step. She stood with her finger in her mouth looking at him. Finally she said : "You're a colored gentleman, ain't you?" "You're a very polite little girl," he said. "Yea, I am a colored gentleman." "Oh, yes, I'm very polite. I call every nigger I see a colored gentleman." Salem has more nice horses and bug gies and driving outfits and rigs to the square inch than any other town this side of Kalamazoo. It has been suggested that the reason Salem ladies like horses, is that they suggest the idea of the groom. 'Any way, Salem has lots of level country and nice drives around about, and when the bridge is completed across the river, she will be one of the best provided cit ies in this respect on the coast. Owners of alleged "flyers" in the capital city take much pride in their horses, and there k a great deal of competition in this line. The other day Mr. Smith, who has a two-year-old which he is proud of, met Mr. Jones, and the following conversation was overhead : Mr. Smith. "I tell you, Jones, that little two-year-old of mine is going to make a fiver from taw. The other day I passed one of those blooded horses out to the race track on the road. How's that for a scrub without a pedigree?" Mr. Jones "Pretty good; but which way you were going?" Mr. Smith "North." Mr. Jones "And the blooded horse?" Mr. Smith-"South." From present indications, it looks as if Gladstone lias not gained much by his appeal to the country, that he will get back home with aliout what he started with. May be he has winged a few un ionists on the fly, but he will likely have only about enough te keep his head above water, without tackling home rule for Ireland again. There is a good deal of difference between England and America, outside of the Atlantic ocean. Gladstone "went to the country" for votes, we "go to tlie country" for health over here. We feel for the G. O. M., but, owing to the distance, we can't reach him. Ned H. Pell. IEKATEI. JfOT CONQIEREIJ. Gladstone may be defeated, but he is not conquered, nor is the principle for which he fought dead. Principles are eternal. They survive defeat, and suc cessive and overwhelming defeat. The ghost of justice for Ireland will not down, but will rise up to torment its enemies until the rights of the Irish people are respected. What action Gladstone will now take is not certain. He may so modify the home rule bill that it will be carried now, for want of an alternative, or he may keep up the fight, and dissolve parliament at often as the Queen will permit, or until he gainsenotigh strength to carry the bill, or is defeated entirely. It is still a great and complicated issue, even if Gladstone has lost strength by his appeal to the country.

Mr INDIAN TKAIKINA RCHOOIJS. On the occasion of the graduating ex ercises of the Indian training school at Chemawa, last year, we expressed tlie opinion that the heavy expense for the B'.iport of these schools is money not well Bjient,' at least that the expense is too great to justify the government for tlie good accomplished. The class of last year was a brighter one than the one of this year. We have changed our opinion comwra Ing these schools. They are the hope of the Indian race. They must do their work of civilization and enlightenment, or the red men must itecome extinct. The reports from the tribes of improvement in all the branches of industry, due to the education and training of the Indian boys and girls at these schools, show a gradual movement upward and onward, not only in all the arts of civilization, but also in Christian conduct and beha vior. These schools are no doubt a suc cess, and worth all their cost. The business men of New York seem to be learning that what they need in an ad vertising medium is quality as well asquan ity in circulation. The newspaper which gives decent editorial attention to tlie in terests of trade, and gives first considera tion to the welfare of active capital em ployed in commerce, and manufactures, and production, and construction, and which endeavors to educate labor and teach it to think for itself, that is the paper which will be able to boast the ele ments of quality and character in its cir culation. Its patronage amongst the labor element will be those who wish to learn tlie ways of thrift and frugality as the stepping stones to independence, and such a paper helps them on by warning them against tlie anarchist and office seeking demagogue. As they heed its admonitions they constantly become of greater value to the general trade of the city, because their avoidance of the dog gery and their preference for the savings bank constantly increases their ability te patronize the better trade. There is no doubt that trade feels the burden of a debauched press. We have foreseen the results sure to overtake the patrons of newspapers who supported a press with business advertising, and permitted its editorial and news columns to be used wholly in the interests of classes antago nistic to trade and bent on the destruc tion of active capital. The reform need ed is in the hands of business men them selves. Tlie newspapers which always take sides against them, which use the profits of their patronage to support every movement, whether of a legislature, a congress or a mob, which has for its ob ject the destruction of business and the oppression of active capital, could not live ft half year without the jiatronageof those to whose interests they are either indif ferent or inimicae. As we have said before, the example of one newspaper, succeeding by the methods deprecated by these .New York merchants, corrupts the press of a city or state. For that exam ple business men alone are reHKmsible. The statement may not be palatable, but its sole seasoning is the truth. AaKANSAM contributes a novelty to the Stories of official crookedness by having a judge sent from the bench to the peniten tiary for forgery. Speculating in country scrip made the trouble. Miss Levisoworth, niece of the gen eral, last week married, at Syracuse, New York, Mr. Francis B. Gott. It was a church ceremony, to offset the swear name of the bridegroom. The West 8ide, of Independence, has acted very consistently on the bridge question, and our business men should remeniWit, and "keep it on their lint." Conubkssmak Lb Fbvbe says that no congressman can live on his salary and lie honest. We infer from this that I Fevre is a poor poker player. h?mr.ij a . . f '21.121112111' ' " -i o o M O 3 M HH CO &?
