FRIDAY, NQVE MBER. 8, 1895. THE HUNGER LOR LAND. Flirty years ago substantially all the country lying west of the Mis souri river was unbraced within the public domain. Arable land was as free as the water in the streams that coursed across it. The supply seemed inexhaustible, and the government found it neces sary to hold out special induce ments to lure settlers into the far ther we8t.in the Pacific Northwest going so far as to denote G40 acres to a single settler and his wife. Recently we heard the exciting spectacle of nearly 200.000 racing and struggling to acquire a reserve just thrown open to entry. And the land in this reserve is of a character that few would have taken a quarter of a century ago. Out of this spectacle little can be d a vn that is not tinged with a melancholy aspect. If the arable land is not quite exhausted, the time is certainly near when it will be. A government which has given with lavish hand for more than a century can give no more forever. Henceforth it must live entirely off its people. Henceforth the deserv ing homeseeker must make terms with the speculators and the land grant railroads, and the surplus population must settle down to hard conditions of tenant life. There is evolution if not revolu tion ahead. A nation which has never known landed want, which has stimulated and fostered the m ving and the -developi ng spiritof its surplus population and its bor der elements, can not face right about to the conditions long ruling in Europe without suffering incon venience and trouble. The United States having long fostered the la :d seeking appetite ninst now ex-p-ct to encounter some distress in dealing with that appetite. Either immigration must be checked, the people educated to acceptance of the changed conditions, or the pre vailing system of the land tenture will have to be modified or revolu tionized. The American spirit is not a tenant spirit. It craves a free land title, and to satisfy that craving will hardly quibble at an undertaking having for its purpose restrictions upon the ownership of land. The American people are not likely to make one bite of the Henry George cherry, but they may be expected to do considerable nibbling within the next quarter of a century. Senator McBride is the first na tive Oregonian to be elected to the j United States senate from this state, an houor he is said to pride1 himself upon very greatly. He is' the 14th man in the procession of j Oregon senaiors. Only one of! these was a native of other than America Baker, who was born in England. Pennsylvania was the birthplace of three Harding, Kel ly and Mitchell; New York of 3 Smith, Williams and Dolph; Maine of two Nesmith and Gro ver., Lane was born in North Cor- lina; Stark in Louisiana; Corbett; in Massachusetts; Slater in Illi nois. The first senators were Jos. Laue and Delazon Smith, elec ted in 1858; next elected, 18G0, J. W. Nesmith and E. D. Baker, Gen eral Baker was killed at Ball's Bluff, and Benjamin Stark was ap pointed to the vacancy, which was subsequently filled by legislative election of B. F. Harding. This brings us down to 1804, when Geo. H. Williams was elected. The other elections were: 18(5(5, H. W. ' Corbett; 1870, J. K. Kelly; 1872, 1885 and 1890. John II Mitchell; 1876, L F. Grover, 1878. S H. Sla ter; 1882 and 1888, J. N, Dolph; 1894, George V. McBride. Mitch ell was the youngest of all at the time of an election, being 37. Harding and Corbett were elected at the age of 3!); Nesmith and Mc Bride at 40; Surk and Williams at 4i: Dolph at 47; Baker at 49, Kelly at 51; Slater at 52; Grover at 53, Lane at 57. It is a little re markable, perhaps that so many of the cx-senators are still living. Smith died in 18ft(); Baker in 1861; Lane in 1881; Nesmith in 1885. None of them an very young, either. Stark is 75. Grover and Williams 72, Slater 69, Corbett (58, Dolph 60. A close friend says that ex President Harrison's law practice during the last eighteen months has paid him more than his salary while president. It is eav to un derstand why General Harrison is not worrying about who shall be the next republican candidate for . president. Inter-Ocean. ; Wilson's Resort.

The vi ands must be well chosen and eat en slovly, not devoured, then well turned over in the mental stomach for awhile until with ease and com fort they are perfectly digested and furnish nutrinent to the brain. Most students study without thought, which is like eating with out digesting. Others read merely as a fad and soon forget all that they may have learned. The most satisfactory method of study is the digestive. It is the thorough one the one that gives strength to the brain. Take the subject you are studying. Read a few pages, as the case may be. then put the book down and think on what you have reak. Turn it about in your mind from every standpoint. Do not accept it im mediately. Argue for and against in your mind. In other words, masticate it. You need not be at your leisure to do this. Do it in your walks, in your idle moments, at any time. When you have sat isfied yourself on the subject go on with a little more in the same way. In a short time you will find your self a more thorough student than if you had read all at a stttir.g. The best educated man in the end is theuian who learns slowly, but surely. New York Advertiser. The Oldest Man On Earth. The oiliest man in the world is a citi ncn of of Bug'ita, in the Republic of San Salvador. This new Methuselah, save the Chicago Tribune, declares that he is one hundred and eighty years old, and it would wen! he flatters himself, for) neigh liors give the assurance that he is older than he says he if. He is a half-breed named Michael Solis, whose exigence was revealed to Dr. Louis Hernandez by one of the old est nlnnrora in tho lfifulirt u-lw oo a child knew polls ns a centenarian, lhey have found in 1712 his signature among those of persons who contributed to the building of a Franciscan convent which exists near Han Sebastian. His skin is like parchment, his long hair of the whiteness of snow envelops his head like a turban, mid his look is so keen that it made a disagreeable impression on the doctor. Interrogated by the doctor, heanswer complaisantly that his great age was due to his regular mode of living, and to his never giving up to any excess of any sort whatever. "I never eat but once a day," said he, "but 1 never use any hut trie strongest and most nourishing food. My meals last a half an hour, for I believe it is impos sible to eat more in that time than the body can digest in twenty-four hours. I fast the tirst and fifteenth day of each month, and on those days I drink as much water as I can bear. 1 always let my food become cold before I touch it. It is to theae things that I attribute my great age." Teacher's Examination.
