The Albany Democrat says that the
Astoria firemen kicked ''because they
didn't have things free." The Demo
crat is misinformed. The Astoria fire
men "kicked" because some of the Al
bany people tried to cinch them on prices.
As long as the Democrat has started it,
it may as well be known that some of Al
bany's citizens seemed to consider the
tournament as a good chance to get
whatever prices they demanded and
acted accordingly. The Astoria boys ex
pected nothing "free." They went there
with plenty money in their pockets, but
didn't propose to pay more than first
class prices for less than second-class
accomodations.

Something which must strike a good
many people in this campaign is the
amount of reading of the back files of
newspapers that is going on. Almost
every newspaper that now supportsCleve
lancf, particularly1 the converts, has on
record in its immutable past something
derogatory to the Buffalo man's abilities,
his affiliations or hiB act?. It is afflicting
to the man who now writes that "Cleve
lon ia fhfi son! of star-eved probitv" to
have.throst under his nose nis former
opinion that "Cleveland is a stub-tailed
slave of corporate monopoly." On the
other hand, the editor who now takes the
soul-white country into his confidence
and says: "The Republican candidate,
James G. Blaine, will be elected beyond
peradventure" must hate tho wretch who
revives the fact that the same editor was
Shouting not long since that "the candi
dacy or the black-winged bird Blaine
will .mean irreparable disaster." Nobody
seems to care a rap what he has said
about Butler, for Butler does not look
over his editorial supporters with any his
toric squeamishness.

LOW PRICKS.
The price of wheat is way down all
over the world. It would be difficult to
sell "Walla Walla wheat for export in
Portland, which is our present shipping
point, for much, if anything, above one
dollar per hundred or l) cents per bushel.
To get the wheat to Portland the shipper
has to pay over one-third of tho price in
that place, or 21 cents a bushel to the
railroad coiupiny. To that cost must bo
added the -price of sacks, the expanse of
drayage, insurance interest, coiumissions
and wastage, which cotnbimd increase
the total about eight c?uts a bushel. It
costs over T1 cents a bushel to mis wheal
in tho Walla .Walla country when the av
erage yield is 2." bushels per acre. Theso
figures make it evident lhit the present
market price of wheat is less than the
average cost of production. When the
cost of production is greater than the
market value, distress follows, production
ceases, and the producers seek other
modes of making a living. Of course
they can do little in any new line of pro
duction for many months to come, and
in the meantime tho product of their
wheat fields is not available for any pur
pose. II '. Jl'. Union.

POMP AT Fr.'ER.U.S.
The Grand Master of the New York ,
I. O. O. F.. at the session of the grand !
lodge of that jurisdiction last week,
called especial attention to the extraordi
nary and useless funeral expenses some
times incurred at the burial of the
members of the order, and suggested
that measures be taken to prevent such
a wasteful expenditure of money.
This is a subject that has often been
alluded to in the past by eminent writers,
not connected with fraternal societies,
and in some cases, without doubt, their
sensible arguments have been heeded,
but there is still room for improvement.
Honor, respect and merited tributes to the
worthy dead are not symbolized by rose
wood, silver ornaments, or long proces
sions of carriages, but by the sincere
emotions of the heart.
Fraternal societies, nnmberiug as they
do many hundreds of thousands of our
best citizens, can exert a powerfnl influ
ence in this direction, and it is full in
keeping with their principles tliat they
should so. Their laws require "that the
remains of a brother be given decent
sepulture," and that he shall be laid to
rest with kindly hands and sympathetic
hearts, but nowhere will be found either
requirement or authority for tho vainglo
rious pomp that is now and then seen, so
inappropriate and useless, so inconsistent
with solemn occasion.
The large majority of fraternal society
membeis are mtn of family, men who
work for a living, who have'uo bank ac
counts, or but small ones at best. When
death calls them hence, they leave, per
chance, a little home of their own, with
widow and orphans, but rarely much
money. In their hours of distress the
bereaved families must depend entirety
on the good offices of others, and it is
just here that the lodge officials, m duty
to tho dead, should take charge of and ar
range the details of the funeral, and see
that they arc within proper limits, ami
that no useless or extravagant expenses
are incurred to draw upon the slender
means of the family.
Expenses for carriages, crape, gloves,
mourning apparel, casket, etc., are some
times seen for the funeral of men in most
moderate circumstances, that would have
sufficed for the burial of a statesman or
millionaire. It is simply wrong, more
than wrong, wicked and unjust to de
pendent families, and a practice that
cannot too soon bo abolished.
And for lodges themselves, when they
take entire charge of a funeral, let every
thing be douo decently and in order, but
let the tribute of respect be in tho at
tendance of the brethren, not in costly
outside shew: let the money that some
times goes to ornament, go where is is
most needed to tho familv.
The views of the Grand blaster of New
York are correct, and should be most
heartily indorsed.
Don't He Hani
On the car drivers and conductors.
Don't order them about, or speak
harshly to them. They are over

all sorts of weather and to everything

health. They suffer from rheuma
tism neuralgia, liver complaint, and
sometimes from general prostration.
