THE COHDDH GLOBE. . FRIDAY, JULY 20, 884. THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM COUNTY. OREGON. The harveBt is about upon ue, and many a farmer is hustling for machine extras and to have head ers or other harvesting machinery put in order. As extras are just now something almost impossible to get, there is considerable annoy ance and worry. The condition shows two things: First, a lack of j energy on the part of the wholesale implement dealer in Portland, to whom the retailers look for sup plies; and second, the greatest carelessness on the part of the farmer, who, when through har resting last year, left his machin ery exposed to the weather and to damage, or put it away in a dam aged condition. ; The care of farm machinery is one of the most im portant things on the farm, and on this alone success often hinges. It is useless, of course, to preach on this subject now, because the con ditions cannot be changed for this season, and by next Bpring or for that matter, by the time harvest is over the lesson we have ju6t had will have been forgotten. It would not be all evil if by the present con ditions farmers could all be taught to take care of the farm machinery, and that the best time to put it in running order is in the fall be fore it is put away for the winter. Then it can be brought out and used when the time comes without two or three days' delay and a trip to the blacksmith shop. The reports from the gold fields of South Africa are most flattering. Millions of dollars worth of gold are being taken out every month, and the prospects are quite favor able that the output will be greater than it was from California or Aus tralia in their palmiest days. If expectations are reached, America will, indirectly, derive as great ben efit as any section of the globe. It will for a time check the flow of our gold to Europe, and will thus afford temporary relief. But the greatest benefit we will derive will be in the diverting of immigration. For many years past the United States has been the most inviting country on earth, not only to the laborer seeking employment but to the criminal fleeing from justice, and as a result the country has filled up with both laborers, who are compelled by force of circum stances to work for whatever wages are offered and thus compete with our laborers, and with all manner of criminals, who have come here for refuge. But the opening of rich mines in Spath ; Africa,, together with the development of a new country ' rich in agricultural re sources, will attract thither the un employed of the world, as well as ttwae who seek to lose themselves t) the world in order to escape pun ishment. Persons in the government ser vice never strike. There are hun dreds of thousands of them, and though their pay is much less than the pay of railroad employes doing the same work, the first instance in which they have strnck for high er wages or to redress the grievance of employes in other services has not been recorded. The present distracted condition of the passen ger and freight business, the incon venience and vexation to the gen eral public and the great loss to shippers and other business inter ests, all incident to the American Railway Union's determination to run somebody else's business or ruin it, suggests that if the rail roads were under government con trol a deal of botheration might be avoided. s There seems to be a mistaken idea among patrons of the public schools that if they are unable to purchase books for their children that the latter are debarred from the advantages of attending school Such is not the case however. Under the law, upon proper rep resentation of the fact that the pa rents are unable to purchase books for their children, the directors of the district are required to furnish the Bame from the funds belonging to the district. A dispatch from Klamath Falls, of date July 9th says: : "W. E. Howe, ex-county treasurer, was ar rested Saturday night charged with violating the law providing for the redemption of county warrants when more than $1500 is on hand. The arrest grew out of the big fire of last Monday, when, according to Howe, $8,875 in greenbacks, be longing to the county, was burned in his store, where the fire origin ated. The circumstances of the fire were peculiar, and do not all tend to relieve Howe of suspicion. His bondsmen, being responsible, caused Howe'6 arrest, and today he was held to appear to await the action of the grand jury. Other information will be filed against him immediately." The ruling of the supreme court in the matter of district attorney fees will save a great deal of money to the taxpayers, and itcomesrijht in line with other reductions in official emoluments. This , 6arae line nf policy ought to extend to a reasonable degree to state and fed eral offices. It is not just and equitable to pay salaries of fr,Qm $3,000 to $15,000 per year when the same service would be as effi ciently rendered for about one half the compensation. . All salaries ought to be put as nearly as pos sible on the same basis that the service would be worth as a pri vate business transaction. La Grande Chronicle. , A Salem paper says: "All the managers of the state reform school except the superintendent have been fired, and new officers have been appointed in their stead. The grounds for their removal were cruel and inhuman treatment to boys confined in the reformatory. Why the superintendent was not removed is not explained. He be ing the head of the concern was certainly guilty of gross neglect of duty at least, if he allowed his offi cers to treat the inmates with such brutality as is charged. Hendricks should have gone with the rest of the herd when the state authorities began their cleansing process." The figures of the census for 22 states which have been published complete, show that out of every 100 farms 47 are occupied and tilled by the owners, free of incum brance, and only 21 are occupied by owners under mortgage. The other 32 are hired. Mortgaged and tenanted farms are on the increase, which is one of the evidences of a gradual monopolization of the land by a comparative few. A man recently returned from Wyoming, who has carefully stud ied the results of women voting there, says the effect has been to purify both parties. The women were unmanageable by factionsand when a bad man was up would flock like' sheep to the other side. It was found impossible to elect a bad man, and now both parties scour the country for men of good character for candidates. In some villiages in Japan rob bers are tried and convicted by ballot. Whenever a robbery is committed the ruler of a hamlet summons the entire population and requests them to write on a slip of paper the name of the person they suspect as having committed the crime. The one receiving the lar gest number of ballots is declared duly elected and is accordingly hanged. J A reliable authority tells how to j know whether a person is dead or alive, as follows: "Apply the flame of a candle to the tip of one of the great toes of the supposed corpse, j If the vitality is gone this will be full of air, and will burst with some noise if the flame is applied to it a little longer; if life is not extinct the blister will be full of matter and will not burst." The way to build up Oregon is to stand by her, and the way to build up Oregon's institutions is to assist them, not with your patron age alone, but with your advice also. How much wiser and better it would be to calmly, honestly ad vise and thus build up. Nothing is ever accomplished by sensation jalism or abuse. Exchange. The southerners are accused of skinning an occasional black rape fiend, but they have not the busi ness tact of those Tewksbury breth ren of Massachusetts, who are Baid to have made the pauper poor house pay handsomely by manu facturing the hides of dead paupers into boots, shoes, gloves and other merchantable goods. "Where does your paper go?" was asked of an editor whose paper was known to have a very wide circulation. "It goes to Great Britain, South America, China, and it is all I can do to keep it from going to Hell." Ex. Klickitat county, Wash., is so hard up that criminal actions, ac cording to the Goldendale Sentinel, cannot be maintained. There is no money either for juries or to board priseners. If wheat brings forty cents ' a bushel this year there will be money, in Gilliam county to "thrdw at the "birds." Hard times will no longer be the main subject of con versation. A judge has decided that owners of patent medicines must keep promises made in their advertise ments.

Collector I really can't understand why you don't pay me my little bill. You have never given me a single cent. Hostetter McGinnis If time was not money, I'd explain it to yon. "Now you are giving me impudence." "Well, you were complaining just now that I hadn't given you anything. You are always grumbling about nothing." "You promised to pay roe three months ago, and I relied on you." "That's so." "And you lied." "Precisely so. I lied on you and you relied on me, so we are even. Goodby."

Last June, Dick Crawford bronght his twelve months old child, suffering from infantile diarrhoea, to me. It had been weaned at four months old and being sickly everything ran through it like water through a sieve. I gave it the usual treatment but without benefit. The child kept growing thinner until it weighed but little more than wnen born, or perhaps ten pounds. I then started the father to eivi ntr Chamberlain's Calic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. Before one bottle of the 25-cent size had been used, a marked improvement was seen and its continued use cured the child Its weakness and puny constitution dis appeared and its father and myself be lieve the child's life was saved bv this Remedy.
