"What would be thought of a
man who, sitting down to a nicely
set table, would engcily partake of
the well cooked and savory food
and having sampled everything be
fore him, would finally come out
to the hotel keeper and utterly ig
noring all the relisbable things
that he had entombed in his stom
ach, would growl because there
may have happened to be an inno
cent little plate of pickles, or a
modestly displayed slice of cheese,
or something else he may have
happened to dislike, somewhere on
the table in sight of his offended
eye.' xetuiisis a imr eampic
of the man who grows wroth be
cause every little item in the col
umns of a newspaper does not pre
cisely accord with his individual
whim.
The hotel keeper sets his table
to the best of his ability. He
knows that he must put on his
table what the general public, the
patrons of his hbuse, require. He
also knows that some people like
their meat rare, others well done;
some want no cheese, others are
disgusted with pickles, and yet
others expect cheese with pie,
pickles with roast beef, and would
eat no soup unless they had free
recourse to a bottle of sauce.
Any ordinary man could sit
down aud make a good dinner.
If he wanted pickles, there they
weie: if lie didn't, lie could let
them alone; but none hut a very
silly man would come out to the
hotel keeper at the cloe of the
meal and blow him up because
he had put pickles on his table,
ignoiing the fact that the man
who had sat opposite the growler
and who had the same rights at the
table ate pickles freely, and would
have growled worse than the first
one if the- had not been set on
the table.
It is about the same way with
agood many dyspeptics who try
to get a cause of complaint against
a newspaper. They note all the
news, read what's going on
in their own neighborhood, look
through the dispatches, glean the
carefully selected miscellany, turn
to the editoiial page and note the
uews and comment on current
events, when, horror! somewhere
in the columns they strike an item
or assertion that does not fit in
with their cast iron mould of ideas
All the good things are forgotten,
the paper is "no good" just be
cause that one little item is there.
The funny pint of it is that that
very item is just what the next
man wanted to see, and he would
have thought the paper equally
"no good" if it, or something
like it hadn't appeared
"We have never run a hotel,
Nature having denied us the abili
ty necessary in that lino of busi
iip, but believe that if the
uvctage hotel keeper were to act
on all the complaint he r r.-ived
his hotel would break up, an-1 the
sheriff would sell him out ii side
of a month.
For one man will have noma!,
another no boiled, a tfiird detests
fish, a fourth abhors cheec, a fifth
dislikes jelly, a sixth cmt endure
pie, a seventh hates pork, an
eighth loathes hot biscuit, und so
on. The unfoitunate iiotel keeper
who would listen to all the likes
and dislikes and act on the sug
gestions would have nothing but
empty dishes on hi table at the
close of the second week. The
hotel keeper who desires to keep
out of the sheriff's hands will prob
ably set his table to please his
guests. He will do his best to
suit his patrons; he will note what
is called for most and oftenest; ho
will furnish that; he will keep off
his table that which is most object
ed to; he will set as good a meal
as he can afford to for the money
he gets or ought to get for it; he
will sit up all day and a good part
of the night trying to have his
hotel so conducted that it will be
popular; he will as far as in his
power remove all cause for com
plaint, but, possibly, once in ten
3'ears, when some one with his
stomach full, his jaws still going
on the last mouthful, comes out
and damns the whole concern be
cause there was pie, when every
one knew he didn't like pie; then
it may be that the hotel keeper
recognizes that the fault lies in
the shallow skull of his critic and
not in his inability to do what he
should, especially when the cook
tells him that the rest of the
boarders are clamorous for pie,
and some have asked for a second
helping.
Judge KELLEY,of Pennsylvania
submits this description of the bill
he proposes for England: "I have
offered a bill limiting the coinage
of silver to not more than 1,000
in any one year. I propose that
restriction with a view to hasten
ing the day when the coin that
was current among the mer
chants of old Judea, and which
paid for the cave of Macpelah,
shall come back to us. That was
silver coin. Tf the bill I piopose
were passed, this country would
cease to absorb $2,000,000 of sil
ver annually. Now where would
that go to? "Why it would go
straight to London, and its effect
there would be disastrous to Brit
ish trade and commerce. The val
ue of the Chinese sycee, the In
dian rupee and the silver coins of
every South American state would
at once depreciate. England ha
has immense trade with all those
countiies, aud if we forced her, by
stopping our coinage, to absorb the
surplus silver of the world, she
would be driven to restore silver
to its old place of equality with
gold in order to save her trade
with India and the Orient from ut
ter ruin."'
Skxatei: Dolpii on the 4 th re
ported favorably from the com
mittee on commerce the bill to en
able the Astoria & "Winnemucca
railway company, a corporation
organized under the laws of Ore
gon, to build railroad bridges
across the "Willamette river south
of Oregon City, at such point as
it may select, and across such oth
er navigable streams or sloughs
within the state of Oregon as it
may be necessary to build along
the line of railroad or along
the line of any of its branches.
This bill applies particularly to an
intent to construct a bridge or
road from Smith's Point to Skip
anon landing, the exact location to
be determined by the secretary of
war.
There threatens hot discussion
in the east, as to whether Blaine
or Logan shall head the national
Republican ticket in '88. Gently
brethren, gentlj. The country is
full of good men. Maybe neither
of the distinguished gentlemen
will be called when the time comes.
'Tis manners to wait to be asked.

Some People Say
That they can "buy goods cheaper
in Portland than they can here."
Wc will bet a big red apple that
they can buy goods cheaper at the
Crystal Palace than they can in
San Francisco at wholesale prices.
Nothing is cheap at any price if
you don't want it, but if you want
anything in our line you will never
get it cheaper anywhere than it is
now offered at the Crystal Palace.
Some "bargains' are dear, but
we guarantee everything as repre
sented. In the one lino of silver
ware we are clearing out magnifi
cent goods at forty per cent, less
than they can be bought elsewhere.
Books are also being sacrificed, and
stationery of all kinds can be had
"for a song."
Very handsome chains, rings,
and lockets are being cleared out
at prices that are surprisingly low.
The stock must be sold and 3011
have an opportunit3 to bin some
thing that perhaps 3011 long have
desired to own or give to a friend,
at a price lower than 3ou ever ex
pected. Come and take a look
and ask the prices. We have a
large force of salesmen aud we es
teem it a pleasure to show goods.
