THE SECOSD WIFE QUESTION.
A case of decided interest to men
generally, and to married men partic
ularly, comes from Montana territory.
It gives the details of an attempt to
settle the second wife problem The
victim in the case was a Mr. Griswold.
His wife was on her death bed. One
day she made -a -peculiar request of
one of the attendants. She asked for
a hatchet In order to humor her
whim the hatchet was procured for
her, and she threw it carelessly on the
bed. Two days before she died she
summoned her husband. He knelt in
tears, and. like the devoted man that
he was, poured forth his sorrow and
and sympathy. The dying wife bade
him farewell and conjured him never
to marry again. On this point, how
ever, Griswold was not positive, for J
ho expected to live a long time; and
he probably felt that the most effect
ive way to drown old grief was to sub
merge jt in a new love. Consequently
he was not prompt in giving a prom
ise, and when he hesitated so long
Mrs. Griswold suddenly drew the
hatchet from under the covering and
dealt the unsuspecting man a blow in
one eye, destroying its vision and dis
figuring him for life. Forty-eight
hours afterward the wounded man was
a widower.
"Wo cannot, of course, indorse the
savage methods of Mrs. Griswold, but
it can be said in mitigation of her as
sault on her beloved husband that
she was ill, and, furthermore, that
if there is any one question that a
woman feels more deeply upon than
anything else, it is that terrible prob
lem of a second wife. To think that
she, dead, buried, and with a beauti
ful epitaph upon her tombstone, should
be supplanted in the husband's affec
tions by some unknown woman, and
that her portrait should bo taken out
of the parlor and carried up into the
garret, is rather too much for any
woman to bear with equanimity.
Probably this question has caused
more heart-burnings, has given rise to
more little quarrels, and has been a
bigger bugbear generally, than all the
spring bonnets .and silk dresses of a
lifetime. Mrs. Griswold . staggered
under the weight of it, and when her
husband hesitated to come to time
with a promise to sign a prohibition
marriage pledge, she swiftly dealt the
blow -that destroyed his facial beauty
forevermore. We can only hope that
the recording angel did notgudge the
poor wife too harshly, and wo can
give the damaged widower the full
measure of our sympathy.
But wait Perhaps we need not
waste that sympathy. Griswold ac
quired a shining glass eye, and a year
ago he was married to his second wife.
Nothing but death can keep a 'man
out of matrimony when his heart is
turned that way. '
Captain John IJbicsson, the inven
tor of the Monitor, is eighty-four years
old. He lives as he has lived for
more than thirty years, at 36, Beach
street, New York. There is no busier
man in the "whole city than he, and
yet no man lives more remote from
its turmoil and confusion. His 'whole
life is devoted to scientific and me-.
cnanicax suuues. oociai relations ne
has nona His only visitors are those
who have business with him. His
time is divided according to rigid
rules, which makes the best of the
twenty-four hours each day. He has
shown himself able to devote "himself
to sedentary work for twelve hours
a day for 365 days in the
year, for - thirty-seven years,
togetner, witn scarcely tne loss or a
day. This is because since he was 40
years old Captain Ericsson has fol
lowed the most exacting rules of tem
perance in eating as well as in drink
ing. During working hours his time
is divided between the drawing table
and the .writing desk. The day's
labors conclude" with a record of its
occurences in a diary which has one
page devoted to each day, never more
and never less. Insomnia never
troubles hi, for he falls asleep as
soon as his head touches the pillow.
He has reduced life almost to an ex
act soience.

The late senator Logan was some
times an extreme partisan, but, his
honesty was never questioned. THh
hands were clean hut empty. The
appraisal of his propeityonly amounts
to $6,670, and thejmost valuable items
are tho royalties on his two books.
This is a pleasant contrast from the
example of .men who use public sta
tion ior private gain. -

NOW. ALTOGETHER.
The Columbia river waterway con
vention, held at Astoria last week,
was a great success. The meeting
was well attended. The report
adopted was ably gotten up and
will bring about good results. It
shows that the Columbia river drains
an area of 245,000 square miles. The
wheat traffic alone on the Columbia
river this year is 25,000,000 bushels.
In addition to this there are large
quantities of wool,Iproducts of mines,
stock ranges and other vast indus
tries whoso only outlet is the great
Columbia river. The memorial to
congress is explicit It contains this
clause:
"Until such time as the natural ob
structions to the free navigation of
that river at the cascades, and the
dalles shall be overcome, the pro
ducers of this fertile and productive
region must remain wholly at the
mercy o the railroad corporation,
which, parallels the river and exacts
toll for freight transportation which
approaches prohibition'of production.
This must not only retard settlement
and development of this important re
gion, but nontinually depress indus
tries now there iu progress.''
The people of eastern Oregon and
Washington territory mnst act to
gether in this matter of great impor
tance to every soul in this immense
country. Something must be done to
relieve the people of the burdens of
transportation now levied upon them.
An open river is the most feasible,
practicable and more liable to bo ob
tained than any of the plans proposed.
Government aid we well receive iu
small contributions annually, but this
alone will never complete the work
during our lifetime or the lifetimeof
our children. We must do something
for ourselves. The state of Oregon
and the territory of Washington must
give thej work their assistance, and
this can be done through an united ef
fort of the people. An open river will
put us on a square footing with the
country bordering on the sea. It
is somethincr wo must havo and it is
high time that we began concentrat
ing our efforts toward seenring an
open river. It means the doing away
of extortion, oppression, monopoly
and dependence upon a single soul
less corporation. An open river
means freedom, independence and
prosperity, which makes happy lives
and builds up happy homes. It
means equality; and we cannot have
great success -until we have equal
privileges with the rest of the world.
If we must pay tribute.let's stop pay
ing it to a corporation and pay it to
the state and territory, which pro
vides the means which lifts us from
our dilemma. One united effort will
remove the barriers and we will be
free. Now, altogether! Bast Ore-
goman.
