Scxrrn CxnoLiiJA has only two legB in the United Stales senate. Butler has one of them and Hampton the other. Fish Commissioner Snnr.woc-D, of California, looks for a small catch of salmon on the Sacramento river for a number of years. The Stockton, Kan., Democrat tells of a man in Hooks county, who has beeu arrested for stealing a school house. He had removed the building to his own residence and converted it into a kitchen. The famous Goodwin Sands in the British channel arc disappearing. They have receded toward the Kent ish coast half a milo within a short time, and show signs of generally breaking up. Tan Democrats, in framing a tariff bill, propose to recognize. the fact that protection has becomo part of the general business system, and so mod erate the measure ns to command many Itopnblican votes. The West End in Boston represents all that is good and desirable in urban life; and so we arc not surprised to see the Boston Adcertiser coining the word ""Wcstendeney" to describe that state of perfection which is attained nowhere outside of Boston. Pennsylvania was the first stato to apopt an aibitration law, yet it has been rarely tised, and when resorted to its results have often been over thrown. Lat year Pennsylvania had nearly IE) per cent, of the entire nnra bor of strikes in the country. A new pension scheme is on foot and widely endorsed in the New Eng land stales for the government to pay each soldier in full for his services; that is, make good the deficiency caused by a depreciated currency at the lime he received his pay for ac live service. TnEitE is a litllo boom goingaronnd the state for J. C. Leasure, of Pendle ton, for congress. Mr. Leasuro is not tho kind of stuff that congressmen are made of, and should ho be nominated ho would be allowed to stay at homo with a cheerful unanimity that would re flect great credit on the good sense of the people of Oregon. '"During January," the Baltimore American says, "there was enough cases of heroism in this country to make a hundred thrilling romance?. They show with gratifying emphasis that the element of courage is" still a large part of the American character, and prove that such deeds do not ne cessitate great circumstances to make people brave.'" In all the history of the human race woman was never so charming, never so beautiful and never so useful as she is to-day. She has developed with civilization and advanced with pro gress until her power has penetrated every department of the world's work. It is difficult to find any spl-re of business activity in which .'. .- not an important factor. Some people are dispo--"d to think that "trusts" aro a recent and an American invention, and others imag ing that they aro the fruit of ti.. pro- tcction policy. A London paper, how ever, jrives this list of similar indus trial combinations on that side or the Atlanlic: "English and German iron lube makers, English metal rollers, English coffin furniture makers, Eng lish "Galvanized Iron Trade Associa tions, German bar-iron makers, Ger man rolled-iron makers, co:d mines in tho Euhr and Wnrm districts (on the model of the German rolling-mills) Si lesian f.pelter-mal:crs, syndicate in copper, 'syndicate in the Belgian bar iron and nail-rod makers.' Semething: unheard of before has just occurred at Los Angeles, which lias excited a great deal of comment For some weeks past there has been a coal famino there. Prices rose from S12 to S18 per ton. Then as the sup ply decreased, the dealers steadily in creased the price until S30 per ton in small lots was charged for ordinary coat At this juncture tho Santa Fo railroad company, seeing the suffering and inconvenience caused by this coal corner, despatched special trains to tho coal mines of New Mexico and have just taken a largo supply to that city. It is only sold to consum ers in small lots at old prices, and the speculators are not allowed to get any of it Such an act as this readily ac counts for the growing popularity of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail road company in southern California. SET IN SHOUT 3IETKE. Blaine'a letter surprised London. Smallpox is still epidemic in Snn Fr.tncisco. Effort i hplllf mnrlfl in fnnrrrnaa in defeat the oleomargarine law. There is a complete postal service betwppn Asfnrin nnil Hnn T?pniiicitn via Portland and Ashland. Senator Sherman says he isn't wor rying about the Republican presiden tial nomination and doesn't euro if he doesn't get it. Blair's fool bill to give the beveral stntes S77,003,000 for educational pur poses, passed the senate last Wednes day by a vote of 39 to 29. China is actively advancing arma ments with a view of attempting to reconquer Kuldja and Amour, in the event of a European war. Collector IMagone, of New York, promises some startling discoveries shortly in regard to opium smuggling along the Canadian border. The fisheries treaty between the United Stntes and Great Britain, af fecting only the north Alautic coast, was signed at Washington by the fish commissioners last Wednesday. Bismarck, at a dinner given by him in Berlin last Friday, to members of tho reichstag, alluded, in the course of conversation, to tho recent pacific utterances of some Knssian newspa pers, symptoms of a general desire for peace. The Bussian government, he said, influenced only a few jour nals in this direction," while the rest took their tone from their especial patrons. 8TKK IIl'SUSED STS. -A 31 IN-DS.

That St. Jacobs Oil lias again and again wrought its miracles just in the nick of time, has bridged over the critical emer gency and has Saved Many Lives at the point of death, is fully attested by the record of many extraordinary cures in which this fact of saving life is duly set forth. If to its remarkable virraes in the per manent cure of chronic cases of Kheu matism, Neuralgia, Lumbago, Sciatica, after years of endurance wherein every thing else proved valueless, fortunes were spent in vain and crutches and crippled limbs were the manifestations, is to be added its supreme sovereignty over pain, even unto death, it is wholly eu'.itled tothe appellation of The Conqueror of Pain. Its specific action is especially adapted with a curative penetration and soothing effect to arrest any pain at the acme of its worst influence. St. Jacobs Oil applied externally is now known as the best s.txint to arrest the fatal tendency of any aira vated pain. A Marvelous Case of Recovery can be cited in proof, which is thoroughly verified. It 13 m its main features taken from a leading Liverpool paper as follews: 'Two years ago,1 states Mr. Win Buchanan, residing No. 8 St. John's Koad, Kirkdale, Liverpool, and twenty four years in the service of the Vunard S. S. Co., "I was taken down with the mo'-t excruciating pain in my head, which was followed by Twelve Months of Agony. All physicians agreed that it would lead to softening of the brain and death. Six of the most eminent attended me, but gave no relief. I had to be held down, and my screams were heard outside. My ca.-e was deemed incurable. My wife procured a bottle of St. Jacobs Oil and applied it to my head. It acted like magic. I was cured by it and am now in perfect health, and I have not had the slightest return since I was cured some months ago." Sold by Druggist! and Dealers. Tho Chnrlcs A.
