KUwanl W. IJok, in February Ladle' Home Journal, fmbi(l"r ed itorially When Work Fit Woumn," a text under which he enter em phatic and vigorous ro(et airainHt the mad ruh of wotueu to seek em lloyment In mercantile ami niauu faeturini; etlllKhmenls. Tlie art! i-ltU evidently InHpired by the remit public utterances of one of the largest employers of women in Fennny vania, who, la ral.-tinf hi voice aeainNt this evil, aaaerta "that more wrong has been done to thousand of girl who have gone inlo our com mercial hoiwex than the world dreama of," and urges young women who are seeking positions, to engage M domestic, where they are safe from" danger, w here their surround ings would be elevating and con genial, and iu a field which greatly needs them. Mr. IJok emphasize theae utterance, and goes farther, cay ins: "The fact 'cannot 13 dis puted that no single factor in modern life is doing so much to degenerate our young womannoou as mm mau ruce on the part of girls, imellcd by necessity or not, to go into the bui nets world. Thee may sound like trong word to the ears of some, but to tho.-te who are really cognixant of the immensity of the evil results that are being wrought, tliey.will .simply tit the case and not go bei ond it. In altogether too many of our commer cial, aud Industrial establishments, stores and factories, the men into whose hands is given the power to employ and lontrol girl are not lit, from a moral siaodioiut, to iierd swine. And yet, thousands of our young women are allowed to go from their home to work under the influ ence of tlu-e men and in the atmos phere vitiated by them. And why? Simply because it Is considered more respectable' to be employed In an of fice, store or factory than to be en gaged lu domestic service. The very word 'servant' has a taint about it that the majority of young women dislike, and from which they flee. But what else are they in business establishments than servants, pure and simple? There can be no differ ence but an imaginary one. That I all. Far less leniency Is shown in our business houses to women em ployees than is shown, as a rule, in our homes to domestic help infinite. ly less." .Mr. Iiok further argue that if the mistress would seek to elc vate domestic work, to treat servant witta greater consideration, and to - kta. rf ,l. bM,. show some active interest and panic- (nation in household work, better, more intelligent and more reliahh women would be attracted to the kitchens of our homes, and the u structive rush of young girls to work In stores, counting-houses and fac tories, would te largely checked, and a modern evil, to a great extent, curtailed. EX HL AMI'S CLAIM IX THE VF.Y LZIELA DISPUTE. The British blue-book on the Ven ezuela boundary dl-pule was laid on the table of he house of common, March Cth. Following is a summary of the position of Great Iiritain, a published in the work referred to First Long prior to and at the time of the treaty of Munster, in 1640, the Dutch founded settlements in various parts, of liritish Guiana, particularly on the coast. S-ond The only- Spanish settle ment prior to them was Santo Hume de Gunyana. Third During the whole eriod from lOtS to IT'.Mi the Dutch had un interrupted posM-a-ion of the entire coart line and the river Corentyn to Barima. Fourth During the some period they had explored the upper portion of nearly all the rivers and made many settlements in adjacent dis tricts. Fifth Prior to there was no settlement of Spaniards, except Santo Home ile Ouayami. Sixth Between 1724 and 17'Jii Capuchin missions were established southward of the Orims-o ami gradu ally extended eatard toward Dutch territory, the farthest point obtained by the Spaniards being Tutumeremo, founded about 17S. Seventh Before 1706 the Dutch had nettled far up the Cuyuncka. A Dutch post was established near the Uruan, and the Dutch had full con trol of the whole ha.in of the Cuy uni. F.ighlh Except for the settlement of Santo Home de Guayana and their miwion the Spaniards exercised no authority In the territory now in dispute. Ninth Great Britain, on becoming pseaor of the colony, succeeded to all the rights of the Dutch. Tenth After 1796 Great Britain s&ranaisrB f ft't'ff'f t extended her itHmenta and exer clscd over the territory originally claimed by the Dutch all the rlgbU whereby nations usually indicate i claim to territory. Eleveuth Neither Spain nor Yen ezuela, after the latter declared her independence, at any time had do minion over the territory in question. Twelfth Great Britain, while maintaining her just rights, has con sisteutly shown a desire to make I fair arrangement with Venezuela In regard to the boundary. Thirteenth The claim of Venezu ela that her territory extends to the Ks&equibo is based on contentions in no wise supjsirted by facts, aud can not lie Justified on any reasonable ground. The foregoing thus establishes Great Britain in her strict right to be entitled to the territory extending to Barima, including the water sheds of the Kssequllio, Cuyuni, Uruan, Pom- aroon, Walni and Barima. The bloebook contains nine maps an official chart of the West India Company, dated 16.15: Blaieuw's map of tiuiana, dated 1640; the offi cial map of the English committee on trade and plantations-, dated 1733; Dr. Anvillo's niap of Amerique Meridionale, dated 1748; a sketch map of the Dutch director-general, dated 174!; Thompson's chart of the coast of Guiana, dated 1783; an Insert of Bonchenroedr's map of the colony of Kasequibo and Demerara, dated 179H, aud Depon's charte de la capi tal nerie generate de Caracas, dated 114. The maps were prepared in order to Illustrate the various boundary lines referred to in the correspond ence. The Daily News, liberal, says, commenting upon the government's ease: "The Venezuela bluebottle bristles with facts and challenges refutation. Our ease is impressively, if not irre- fragably strong; but the stronger It i the less reason can Iord Salisbury urge against unconditional arbitra tion. We are most hopeful that the next step will probably lie the ap pointment of the Joint commi.-sion.'' The Chronicle, liberal, after taking for granted that the case will be settled by arbitration, say: "It is advisable that we should go to the tribunal as strongly fortified as possible. From this point of view we are not satisfied with Lord Salis bury's presentation of our ease. The strict advocate's line has been pur sued. Weak points have been slurred over and undue emphasis has been laid ujKtn unessential matters. Lard Salisbury has shown himself a not too-skillful, tactful, well-informed defender of England's honor and Interests." I0M KEXEMURAXm I KM 0V. or i.o. In writing of her early days on the stage, and telling the incidents of her first tour of the Eastern cities, in February Ladies' Home Journal, Mary Anderson de Navarro dwells at some length and affectionately upon her reminiscences of Longfel low, the poet, for whom she had the greatest admiration. The actress was invited to meet Longfellow at his Cambridge home, James T. Fields bearing the graceful letter of invitation. Of the sweet singer she writes : "Surrounded by the calm of his peaceful home, it seemed as though the hand ol evil could not reach him. Every conversation with him left some good result. His first advice to me, which I have followed for years, was : 'See some good pic ture in nature if possible or on canvas; hear a page of the Itest music, or read a great ikmoi daily. You will always find a free half hour for one or the other, and at the end of the year your mind will shine with such an accumulation of jewel as to sstoni-h even yourself.' "Ho loved to surround himself with lieautiful thing. I have seen him kneel before a picture which bad jut been presented him, and study every detail and beauty of his new toy,' as he called it, with a minuteness and appreciation which few would understand. However infeMed with care or work a day might is?, a visit from him was sure to beautify it. "A few months before his death, being unable, through illness, to leave the house, he sent for us again. The usual warm welcome awaited u. Luncheon over he showed me a 'new toy,' and tried to be amusing, but there was a veil of sadness over him, and I noticed how feeble he had grown. 'Until the spring, then!' he said, as we parted, 'if I am still here. I wonder if we shall ever meet again! I am old and not very well! He apologized for not seeing us to the carriage, as was his wont,! hut stood at the window watching us leave. Its push waa covered with snow. Ilia face looked like a picture set in a white glistening frame, for the sun was shining, and his hair anil board were nearly as white as the snow itself. lean see him still, standing there, waving his List fare well. Soon after, the English speak irg world was saddened by the loss one of Its sweetest bards." THE qi IS 1 1 OX OK AOJOI KSMF5T It is evident that tariff legislation Is impossible at the present aeasion of congress. The republican bouse has done its duty to that respect by pass ing a bill designed to furnish all nec essary revenue; but the democratic populist senate Is against it, and that settles It. This Is to lie regretted, but it can not be helped. The senatorial opposition to any kind of change In the existing tariff law is uncompro mising and decisive, and the govern ment will have to get along as best it can without such relief. There la a similar condition as to legislation m the currency question, and with re gard to the borrowing of money to meet deficits. The house bill li prac tically dead, aud nothing of that kind can get through the senate. In a general way, and so fur as all Im portant issues and propositions are concerned, the machinery of legisla tion Is blocked, and no affirmative result can be accomplished. It fol lows, manifestly, that the best thing congress can do is to adjourn as soon as imssible. To prolong the session for the mere purpose of miscellaneous and inconclusive discussion is simply to emphasize the unpleasant fact that the public interests can not receive proier attention under present cir cumstances; aud the country certainly does not care to gaze for several months to come upon such an exhib ition. The condition of the appropriation bills is fortunately very favorable to an early adjournment. Of the thir teen measures authorizing expendi tures for regular aud necessary pur posed, five have been passed, and discussion is under way on the sixth and seventh. This is a very credita ble record, and indicates that these bills can all be disposed of by the middle of March or the first of April if congress choose to hasten action upon them. There is reason to be lieve that the leader iu both houses are disposed to subordinate every thing else to this indispensable legis lation, and end the session with it. The plan is a good ono from every point of- view. There is nothing to be gained by persevering in efforts to do things that are clearly impossible. A legislative Issly that does not leg- Mate is a burden and a mockery, and nobody wants it to continue its dally pretense of public service. The bust ness interests of the country have more advantage to expect from the shortening than from the lengthen- lug of its session, and no class of peo ple can lose anything by reason of its adjournment. It is useless- to talk about wha,t ought to lie done when the influences of prevention are con trolling and implacable. The resjion nihility for the situation does not rest upon the republican party, and will not be harmed by the failure of useful legislation to which it has given earnest and patriotic support It can afford to stand upon its record in this as in all other respcts; and the result'of the next election will invest it with the power to do all that needs to be done, in spite of the democrats and populists.

Portland, Or., March 9, 1896, To tiik Pkoplk: The Pacific Northwest Immigration Board has been established for the purpose of bringing to (lie Pacific Northwest such a class of producers as shall tend to develop its resources and increase its prosa?rity, and to that end has, thus far, lieen provided by the citi zens of Portland with a fund of 30,(HM a fund which it is hoped to largely increase by contributions from other sou nr.. The Bosrd expect to l able to ef fectively carry on the w rk of bring. ing in settlers from the Kat, but It will be impo-ihle for it to have its own agents in every county and pre cinct to attend to the 1 sitting of these settlers, and this, part of the work must be done. In each oae, by the residents ho are interested In each seclal section, and to this end local organization niu-t be established in each county, in order that the best results may be obtained ami that each county may reap Its full share of the general benefit. It being iuiHiible for a central board to attend to location In so large a section of country, the work of this Board will ! limited to advertising, as widely as possible, the advantages which this country, as a whole, has to offer; and to Interesting the largest possible number of the producing classes of the hast, and especially farmers, in it. Each enquirer will be supplied with an accurate, though brief, description of all the different sections, and allowed to make his own choice of the section which he prefers. Having made this choice he will be turned over to the local Board of that section to be directed to and supplied with exactly what he want. This Board has been organized and supplied with funds, not for the pur pose of booming any town or city, or prtvfcoting any private interest what never, but fur the sole and only pur-1 M.t hHtnutiinff ItiA imnn eetr'ete KSC U.

It is difficult to say exactly when the'eastern work will begin to bear fruit. We have reason to believe that we will not have long to wait tor considerable results. The local organizations should be tormed at once and perfect their preparations. It Is the purpose of this Board to, in the near future, have one of its mem bers, or a responsible agent, visit each county desiring, to take'part in the work, to make definite arrange ments for co-operation. Meantime, we invite correspondence from all sections interested. Address, Tub Patkic Northwest Immi gration Board, Portland, Oregon Mrs. L. It. Patton, Rockford, III., writes: "From personal experience, I can recommend DeWitt'a Harsapa- rilla, a cure for Impure blood and general debility." W. E. Brack. CLOVER PEST. As fast as the farmers find a rem edy for one pest another miserable tormentor makes Its appearance. The latest reported is the clover-root borer, and with sublime audacity it makes its advent at the very head quarters of peat exterminators. On a recent tour of the college farm, Prof. Freuch, of the Agricultural College, noticed that his clover fields, which produced five tons of hay to the acre, gave evidence of premature decay. A closer Inspection developed the fact that the clover-borer had made its appearance upon his clover plats, and had completely destroyed no less than two acres. Mr. French believes the pest to have been imported along with the seed which he received from the East, and which was sown on the college -premises. He says ihe onlyre method of exterminat ing the borer is by rotation of crops. He Is going to experiment with pot ash salts soon, and is hopeful that it will prove an effective remedy. The first appearance of the clover-borer was noticed in Clackamas county two or three years ago. Eugene Guard. The reporter of the above is a little careless of dates. The borer appear ed In the clover fields In Multnomah county six years ago, and if it ap peared first in Clackamas county, it was before that time. Six years ago specimens were sent to O. A. C, and named. Crop rotation exterminates the pest. The clover is first killed; then the borer dies ot starvation. I'rartieal Logic. To reason from cause to effect Is very good logic In its way, but to practice on physical conditions in seeking the cause first, is a very slow process indeed. All ailments seem to give an expression In pain, and es pecially in rheumatism, where it takes hold deeply. This is an effect, whatever the cause may tie, and pain would become Intolerable If one waited to find out the cause. Hence sufferers are bent on curing the pain promptly, and for this reason know, or soon find out that St. Jacobs Oil Is surely the best remedy. People sel dom have reason to hunt further, for once this ailment is cured by It, it stays cured and thus puts an end to argument and paro at once. Don't invite disappointment by ex perimenting. Depend upon One Minute Cough Cure and you have immediate relief. It cures croup. The only harmless remedy that pro duces immediate results. W. E. Brock.

"Don't be deluded into the belief that it is smart to know things that you wouldn't like to tell your mother," writes Ruth Ash more In an article on "That Boy of Mine," in March Ladies' Home Journal. "Don't think it is smart to listen to stories that are not nice and which are about women. Gentlemen never unite In deriding women that is a peculiarity of cads. Never read a book that you could not share with your sister, and never look at a pic ture that might not be framed 'and hung in her room. What? Yon think somebody will call you 'girly? Oh, no, my dear boy. If anything is said about your conduct there will be approbation given you, and the chances are that the older man will say of that younger one who is prop erly modest, 'Brown Is a nice fellow ; should like him to come and see my daughters." It is not necessary for you to see the folly of anything. That Is an;exploded theory. Why shonld yon sow a crop of wild oats? Why not sow a crop of wheat and get a harvest worth having? From day to day, my boy, you make p the story of your life, and it is the little things, the little honest things, that will make you a man, mentally n mmM mm i Ii i ati alia mm " W I W " J - OTER THE STATE.

About ten years ago he struck a sim ilar pocket, worth about f 12,000. Brownsville is one of the few towns in the state where no city tax is paid. That city has decided electric lights are not absolutely necessary just yet. The miners of Southern Oregon are somewhat disappointed because of the light fall of snow on the high mountains, which means a short run. The Washington and Columbia river railway company is repairing its road, on which it expects to handle an unusually large spring trade. The loss of stock during the past winter has been very light, as the weather has been quite mild. They are again heinir turned unon the range. Dr. G. W. McConnell, of New berg. has been appointed by Governor Lord to succeed himself as a member of Ihe state board of medical examin- iners, for a term of five years. V. P.

Another unfortunate youngster, who was born February 29th, and will have to wait eight years until his next birthday, Is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Win. Wvatt. of Lvons. r a i Linn county. Baker City closes her saloons from 12 to 5 o'clock a. in., and will allow no music to bo played therein. Now, if the council will prohibit card play ing and other games of chance, the dawn of reform will have broken. Arrangements are lieing made to ship copper from Grant's Pass to Baltimore, by rail.

HAH NEVER "During the last campaign one day," said Howard, the populist member from Alabama, "I went up to the top of a considerable mountain to see a hunter of the came of Bill Saunders, to secure his vote. Bill was not at home, but his wife was, a tall, lean, bony woman, with dusty black hair, hollow, colorless cheeks, and sunkeu eyes, a large mouths feet, and yellow hands. I n ono hand she held a box of snuff, in the other a tooth brush, and she was spitting amberlque. " 'Good morning, madam,' said I. " 'How are you, stranger?" said she. '"Is your husband at home, my good woman?' "'No, he hain't. He went down in Coon Holler this morning' before day, and I hain't lookln' for him back until towards midnight.' ' 'Well, madam,' I continued, I am a candidate for congress, and hope you will use your influence to get your husband to vote for me. I know that a woman ot your intellect, your beautiful eyes that shine like the dewdrops on the mountain top when the light of the morning sun first strikes It; your fresh, rosy cheeks which the gods would kiss as Nectar, and your entire charming personal ity I say a woru'an so endowed by nature must have great influence over her husband, for he was Indeed fortunate to secure you for a wife.' '"Law, now, stranger,' exclaimed the woman, 'when you come talkin' that away, aud bein' us how 1 likes your looks anyways, I guess if BUI Sanders don't vote for you he need never expect to roost 'round these diggins no more, I tell you.'

"'Dear me, stranger,' she an- swtred, 'you are a little mite too hard for me this time. You see, I don't pay much attention to them things, but Bill is a mighty pert hunter and has killed and skunt al most all kinds of varmints in these mountains. But whether he ever kotch one o' them air, what you call it, stranger? populist varmints is more nor i know. If you'll Just walk 'roun' the back aide of the house where he's got all his ielts hangin' up a dryln', you may find one o' them things, for, now that I come to think about it, Bill he yes terday mornin' killed one of Ihe dol- gastedest critters I ever see. It had long legs, bandy shanks, long hair, and was croso-eyed, and I Jest bet a pound o' home-made tobacker it was populist, though I never heern tell o' one afore.'
