Tho Oregonian had precisely the same
experience with its editorials that Thk

this morning is about tho time of day.
Some of the finest and plumpest black
berries that have been seen this season
were yesterday picked by J. F. Nowlen
off his bushes. From eight bushes he
has this year sold $40 worth of berries
, and made $50 worth of wine. These ber
ries are of an unusually prolific variety
and have either buds, blossoms or per
fect fruit nearly every month in the
year.
The latest novelty in business is termed
"Tho Lost Key Bureau." Tns are sold
at twenty-five oents each for attachment
to a ring of pocket keys. "When a bunch
of keys is lost and found, the finder reads
upon the tag that one dollar awaits him
at the bureau. The bureau itself pays
the dollar without calling on the owner
of the lost keys, except to-return his keys
to him. On each loss and discovery of
keys the bureau loses seventy-fivo cents,
" so that if one-fourth of tho tags were
brought back, the profits and losses
would balance, but the expectation is
that at least ono hundred tags would be
sold for a single one redeemed.
Ace c rat Reporting.

you didn't write," said tho editor severe
ly. Tho reporter sat down and made
this addendum: "Having thus expressed
himself, Mr. mistook tho nearly
emptied bottle of claret (which had been
a constituent of his dinner) for Worces
tershire sauce, squirted the sour remnant
on his steak, salted it with sngar, picked
op the corner of his coat-tail for a nap

"When tho "Good night' was sent over
the wires yesterday morning, tho situa
tion, as far as Now York was concerned,
was so badly mixed up that no one could
tell auyono else the way to start at arriv
ing at any conclusion. One thing was
certain, the Empire stato was most un
comfortably close. As soon as the tele
graph offico was open tho samo eager
crowd surrounded it, but it was not till
noon that anything iutelligiblo came
over the wires. Then was heard the in
formation that by counties Cleveland
had the slate by 1,000; by districts,
Blaine had the state by 100. This mixed
things worse than ever. Later came a
bulletin that tho associated press agents
in the city of New York had invited rep
resentatives of both parties and the lead
ing journals to examine the reports that
they had sent out, as the charge had been
mutilated. From this it was evident
?hat tho excitement in tho metropolis
was most intense, and tbo principal com
ment here was "Well 1 hope that tho
thing will bo settled clearly one way or
buu vrbUUl. J. utsu K nuuu li OCC IUJ 11UU-
ble." Later came n telecram that tho
New York Tribune still claimed that
Blame had earned the state. Thus carao
the telegrams, causing on tho part of
those who read them the use of Biblical
expressions, detached and put in strange
shape for handy reference.
When the Portland papers arrived
there was nothing found in tlitm not
known already, and nothing was left to
do but piny marbles until the returns
were telegraphed later on. When, "Later
On" came, there were no returns, rind
there is roally nothing positive at this
writing. The indications are that Cleve
land is elected.

'Why is it," said a faiuuua English
clergyman to tho great actor Garrick,
"that your theater is always full, while
my chnrch is always empty?" " I think,
my lord,' haid Garrick, "it is beciusa I
deal with fiction as though it were a
truth; while you preach a truth as though
it wore a fiction."
The theater is always attractive for a
variety of reasons that need not here be
discussed. Like any other profession the
attractiveness of tho stago depsnds
greatly on tho men and women who Ap
pear there. We all liko to bo amused and
interested, and it is certain that hundreds
of thousands of people are influenced for
good or for evil by what they see por
trayed on tho stage. Those who go to
the theater with tho capability of weep
ing over scenes in which self-sacrifico or
touching pathos is depicted, or of being
aroused to enthusiasm over tbo success
of mpnly effort or womanly devotion, or
of feeling genuine contempt for the por
trayal of meanness or treachery, will go
away from a good play, well acted, having
leurned a lesson that will probably ba re
membered with advantage throughout
tho rest of their lives.
"Richelieu" is more of a historical play
than any usually found on tho boards
outside of n metropolis, and the title-role
is ono in which all actors strive to shine.
It is now nearly threo years sinco Sheri
dan played it at Liberty Hall, and his
rendition of the character is yet remem
bered by many in tho city. In his con
ception of the character of the wily Car
dinal Mr. Miln differs materially from
Sheridan. Without taking the latter ns
a standard of comparison it appears as
though Mr. Miln's excellence of delinea
tion would attain a higher degree were it
less forcible. The semblance of reserved
strength is oftentimes inoro expressive
than its manifestation.
Mr. Miln's histrionic ability is mani
fest. He truly portrayed the subtle prime
minister, and in h'is defiance of the
assassin, and later on in the curse scene,
his acting rose to tho sublime. Ho was
ably supported and deserved a much bet
bettor house than ho had.
Things ia Xew York.
New Yoiik, Nov. G. Tho Times, while
charging tho Western Onion with fabri
cating monstrous untruths yestorday,
says: "There is no danger of tho vote
of New York not being counted as it has
been cast."
Tho Telegram outheralds tho Herald
in reckless charges of fraud in connec
tion with the returns. It accuses the
managers of trying to steal the state,
and says: "Tho impression deepens that
Jay Gould is the arch conspirator."
The Mail and Express says: "Although
all the indications point to a plurality
for Blaine of 600 to 1500, the result, from
iue umciai ugures, is not iineiy to ue
known before to-morrow."
The Republicans do not by any means
ooncede that tho returns from New York
and Kings county are absolutely correct.
The cutting off of 500 votes from Blaine
in New York county since yesterday looks
suspicious, especially as tho increase for
Cleveland comes from districts where
the returns wero kept back four years
ago to coant in Grace over Dowd. Fraud
is suspected in tho country towns of
Kings countv.

READUfG THE ELECTION BETUB5S.
Did you ever notice men reading elec
tion returns, especially when it is about
2 a. m., and they've been np last night
and tho night beforo and hadn't
got to bed very early tho night before
that? It is bad enough to sit up till tho
stars begin to pale, "to hoar something"
and get what you waited for, but to sit
up all night only to get a jumblo of un
explainablo rot is enough to make one
weep. "Here's a dispatch," says the boy.
"Read it out," shouts a bystander. "G2
districts are yet to hear from in New
York state. Garfield carried them by
2,613 over Hancock; Hancocks votom
these districts was 14,897. Garfield's
vote of 1850 is tho estimate. Blaine's
plurality as far as heard from in these
districts is 629; this indicates a plurality
of 430.' "A plurality for who, Blaine or
Cleveland?" is the ready question that
dies from a dozen throats, and then
comes an argument as to whose plurality
that is. "Hold on, we have the true bus
iness this time,' and hero comes another
dispatch. "Hurrah for Cleveland" shouts
a zealous adherent. "Wot are ye shout
in' about? better wait till the dispatch is
read," remarks a follower of the plumed
knight, and the din of many voices be
ing at last subdued, every ono holds his
breath while tho lost dispatch is received.
"Blaine has carried the state by 459 plur
ality." "Hoorah " begin twenty sten
torian voices but tho dispatch reader
shrieks above the tempest "Hold on I
haven't finished yet." Tho New York
Thunder Gust saj's Cleveland has 298 in
tho stato and is elected." Then begins
more eager questioning as to why and
what and how and oue level-headed citi
zen from away over yonder says "Well:
Fll be d d if I seo how they cm both
oarry the state."
And now tho fun begins. Ono has a
dispatch saying that Cleveland has 221
votes, and is elected without n doubt,
and another has got a dispatch showing
beyond the shadow of question, that
Blaine has 233 votes, leaving out nil
doubtful states, and on comparing fig
ures tho disputants discover that they
are getting 425 -votes into the electoral
college and thoy adjourn to "see how it
is" in tho telegraph office; but Hamilton
has no time for explanations, and explan
ations are unnecessary anyhow, for here
are ten dispatches hot from the wire, one
saying that Blaine has tho state by 4C8
plurality, and another saying that Cleve
land is elected, sure, and don't you for
get it.
The one funny thing about tho whole
business was that it gave every man
something to feel good about. No mat
ter what was told, the one that told it
had a "dispatch" in his fist to prove that
what ho was saying was so.
Tbo other evident fact about the mut
ter is a realization that we are only one
little precinct of nianv. When the news
camo on the night of election that Clat
sop county was 200 Republican and Ore
gon 2.200 Republican there was a natural
feeling that that was no bad indication,
but after the di?patohes from New York,
Indiana, New Jersey, etc, came in, came
with them tho thought "There aro mil
lions and millions of others in this coun
try who have equal voice, and tho ma
jority rules." It is only on occasions
Iiko a presidential election that we real
ize fully the extent and importance of
the American union, and the equaliz
ing power of tho popular vote. One ward
in the city of New York can neutralize
the vote or the whole state of Uregon,
and Cleveland's 1,200 majority in Con
necticut are as good for him as Blaine's
25,000 in Maine, each being worth just
six votes.

In its issue of October 26th, the Oir-
gon ian said:
"The contract (for school books)
should bo awarded not by a group of
school officials, but by a committeo of
entirely reputable men, including the
state superintendent."
Tho Oregonian is encaned in bolster
ing up one of tho most gigantic and dis
reputable publishing rings ever con
structed to impose "a tax on tho educa
tion of the poor." The doctor evidently
fears the county superintendents nro not
the kind of "reputable men' to pull him
