TUESDAY
OCTOBER 1, 18R9.
Ohio has 40,373 white voters unable
to write; Pennsylvania, G5,985; New
York, 76,746.. The men who cannot
read their ballots hold the balance of
political power in these important
states.
It isn't every office-seeker who is as
patient as the man who writes to
governor Nicholls of Louisiana, ask
ing that he might be appointed jus
tice of the peace when the present in:
cumbent dies.
It appears from an official report
by the United States consul at Ottawa
that during the year 1883 the domin
ion of Canada sent tJ the United
States merchandise valued at 42,
572,065, and imported from this coun
try goods fcrthe value of48,481,848.
The old pioneers who chalked in
black crayons upon their wagon cov
ers, "to Pike's Peak or bust," never
dreamed of seeing a wagon road built
to its very top; but it has been done
The road is sixteen miles long. At
one point, which is 10,852 feet high,
the smoke of a locomotive ninety
miles away may be seen.
The flag of the nation ought to float
on every schoolhouse every day in the
year when school is in session. The
daily sight of the flag means a daily
lesson in patriotism. Object lessons
have more influence with grown-up
children than we think, and with
school children at a plastic age their
importance is simply incalculable.
A dispatch from Ottawa states that
the Canadian government has signi
fied its willingness to open the Cana
dian coasting trade to vessels of the
'United States at any time that the
American coasting trade is opened to
the vessels of Canada. This is about
the coolest proposition of the season.
Most anybody would be willing to
swap a nickel for a $5 gold piece.
Europe is deterred from the great
war, for which so much preparation
has been made, by a feeling that the
result no matter who wins, will be
the destruction of the old order of
things, the imposition of huge indem
nities, and the genesis of political
problems more formidable than any
4bafe-now- exists.- For the victors, as
for the vanquished, there would be,
it ia feared, an infinite brood of evils.
A Free trade newspaper, in order
to show the evils of protection, says
that a suit of clothes can be bought
in Ireland for.SG.56. Notwithstand
ing this fact, if it is a fact, during, the
year ending June 30, 1888, 78,288 na
tives of Ireland emigrated to this
country, but no natives of this coun
try emigrated to Ireland. This shows
that a country where you can buy a
suit of clothes for $6.56 in not a good
country to live in.
FindiiAY, Ohio, is cited as an illus
tration of what the incipient develop
ment of natural gas has done for the
localities that have been able to use
it Findlay has in less than three
years grown from a population of
5,000 to 25,000. and there are thirty
five factories there, against two be
fore the gas was . introduced. The
reason is found in the fact that
enough natural gas to run a glass
factory of thirty-three pots can be had
at a cost of 35 cents a day. Other
towns have enjoyed similar prosperity
There is a secret society in Balti
more, Md., the object of which is to
protect its members from unfortu
nate marriages. "When one of the
club feels that he is falling in love,
he confesses to his felfow-members
and they appoint a committee to in
vestigate the matter and advise him
therein. In a certain sense tiie in
stitution is a trust in hearts, but its
object is higher than that of most
monopolies. It strives to reduce the
unhappiness of the world to a mini
mum, and has been fairly successful
in its restricted field. The sad news
comes, however, that all the members
of the organization are in love with
the same girl.
A convention, having for ita. ob
ject the securing of improved navi
gation on the Ohio, the Mississippi
and the Missouri rivers, has been held
lately at Cincinnati... In general
terms the resolutions adopted by the
convention call upon the general
government to so improve those
rivers and their tributaries as to se
cure to the people easy and safe navi
gation, as well as "cheap trasporta
tion. The convention called upon
congress to protect these waterways,
for the reason that "the competition
offered is the only guarantee of the
people against excessive rates," and
asks that where private individuals
or corporations have assumed or se
cured, by state action or otherwise;
privileges on such waterways to the
injury of commerce, such obstructions,
be removed.
DECEPTIVE ADVERTISING.
V. H. Mills addressed the Califor
nia Editors' Convention at Sacra
mento, on the relation of the newspa
per to the public. He paid his re
spects to the 'various advertising
schemes which are worked in every
place in the country, and in which
enough money is thrown away to build
up good papers and force the commu
nity onward. If there is anything
which the average merchant don't
know, said Mr. Mills, it is how to ad
vertise. You will see their cards
stuck up on maps and directories
whichjf ew people look at, at an expense
that would keep their business before
the readers of the daily papers- for
months. The promoters- of a book
got out by the Denver & Rio Grande"
made $6,000 out of it, and in a few
months not a co'dv could be found.
The First National Bank of San Fran
cisco, got out a picture of its building
to be sent to its correspondents, and
for a four inch card on the margin'
$100 was charged. A couple of hun
dred of the sheets were issued and
hung up in places where few people
will ever see them, and yet all the spa
ce doubtless were taken by merchants
who wouldn't put a line in a newspa
per. Look out for ithe foreign paper
that comes into your town to get up a
special edition, and which will make
more profit out of an issue than a
country paper can earn in a year. Be
ware of the occasional sheet that gives
you an affidavit of the job printer as
to the copies printed, for most of them
are probably left in the cellar. It is
not copies printed, but copies circula
ted and read that makes an advertise
ment valuable. Yet merchants rarely
consider this. Tho railroad company
some years ago assisted in a finaucial
way the issuance of 15,000 copies
(printer's affidavit) of a pamphlet
showing the resources of a certain
county. Lately 12,000 copies of this
pamphlet were found in an. pld loft
and offered to the company for about
a cent a pound. All the advertisers
wlio had counted on drawing business
through their cards in this pamphlet
were blissfully ignorant of the fact
that they had simply enriched a
sharper.
The Belirins Sea Dispute.
London Sept. 29. Lord Salisbury
has instructed Sir Julian Pauncefote,
the British minister at "Washington,
to consult the convenience of secre
tary of state Blaine in reference to the
discussion of the Behring sea dispute.
Negotiations are to proceed quietly
and continuously and inquiry is to be
carefully pursued into the question of
Canadian .compensation for the sei
zure of vessels belonging to Canada
in the waters in contention.
No immediate pressure, however, is
to be exercised upon the government
at Washington with regard to settling
the international question involved
and nothing like a formal demand for
a speedy conclusion of the affair is to
be allowed.
The line of action, which has been
decided upon by Lord Salisbury, is
based on .his expectation that secre
tary Blaine, who is just now hampered
by the lease of the Alaska Sealing and
Fishing company, will be more ready
to accord what England regards as a
just settlement of the dispute upon
the approaching expiration . of the
company's lease. When that1 occurs
it is expected that the British govern
ment will push the negotiations with
a little more energy.
HR TOOK THE WRONG MEDICINE.
Robert Stewart, ot Petaluma, recently hada
tjueer experience. Ho writes :
"Carbuncle and boils afflicted my face and
neck for weeks.. Finally I procured a bottla
of one of the leading sarsaparillas. To my
gnrpriso it mado matters worse. This mado
me loso faith In Earsaparillas, but seeing a
statement that Joy's Vegetable Sanaparllla
dried np bolls and face eruptions instead of
forcing more out as tho potash sarsaparillas
do, I bought a bottle. Tho effect was aston
ishing. Tho carbuncles and boils began to dry
up, and In two weeks my face wr well and
smooth'asoTer. My brother also took a Sbttlo
with the samo benefit Robert Stkwabt,
"Petaluma, CaL"
Explanatory Note Tho mineral iodldo of
potash, which. Is tho basis of nearly all other
larsaparlllas, attacks tho blood direct, hence
forces impurities through, tho akin, creating
more boils andpimples. Joy's Vegetable Sar
saparilla acts oppositely. Its vegetable alter
atives stimulate the various secretive organs
and thus eliminate all impurities through tho
natural channels, henco dries nn pimples and
skin eruptions at once. Tho abovo t tstlmon
talis a cue in point. )
The Fish Esss Were BoiTeil.
The Csh commissioners have been
anxious to make a display of salmon
eggs, in process of hatching, at the
fair, and a few days since, a water
pipe having been fixed for the pur
pose, commissioner Reed brought
down a McDonald jar and a few thou
sand eggs, and soon had the water
running into the jar, and the big pink
eggs moving around in great shape.
Sometime after, on going to look at
the eggs to see how they were getting
along, Mr. JKeed was astonished to
see that they were all dead. Accident
ally placing his hand on the water
pipe, he was surprised to lmd that it
was quite hot. Further investigation
showed that the water from the boiler
in the restaurant had been blown into
the pipe, and that the eggs in the jar
naa oeen iicerauy ooneo. xuus were
some three or four thousand salmon
cooked at one fell swoop. Before
another batch of eggs is put in there
will be a change in the plumbing con
nected with it. Oregonian.
