E'FIIHKR, of Multnomil "ennnty. K. K. SKIPWUKTII, ol Unulilm, county. The Portland World has passed into the hands of J. A. Newell & Co., and will be conducted hereafter as heretofore.as a dem ocratic paper. It is well edited and deserves the patronage of the democrats of that city. The proprietors of the World have purchas ed the East Portlaed Packet and it has been merged into the World. The new clock just placed in the tower of the Glassgow University is a tremendous affair. The main wheels of the striking and quarter trains are twenty inches in diameter. The weight of the hammer that strikes the hours is : 20 pounds, and it is lifted ten inches. There is an automat ic apparatus attached to the clock which stops the quarter peals at night and starts them in the morning. The pendulum is of zinc and iron, to counteract the Influence of the temperature. The bob of the pendulun is cylindrical, and weighs 300 pounds, and the beat is i seconds. STILL KEEP IT UP. The Harrison organs that have become so restless and uneasy because theirparty at Chicago adopted a free whisky platform still keep up their shrieks about "free trade," "fiec trade," without the slightest founda tion in the world for charging democrats with being free traders. To such of these gentry w ho know nothing else but to bawl "free trade" until they become so hoarse that they have to take double doses of Ger man Syrup in order to make themselves heard again, we would call their attention to the following castigation which they re ceive from the Farmers Friend : "There is nothing so disgusting to fair and honest people as the course of those contempora ries who misrepresent the views and opin ions of their political adversaries. They take advantage of the confidence of those who look to them for light and information to mislead and deceive them. The man who seeks to impose upon the ignorant and credulous by misrepresentations for the purpose of securing votes is but little better than a knave. There are grounds for hon est differences of opinion concerning gov ernmental polity and the fair, just and true presentation of those differences of opin ion, with the facts, statistics and arguments, pro and con, is the work of an honest journalist." Hotice of Removal. John Wannamaker, the great me rchant now has his life insured for a million dol lars, paying about $65,000 a year in pre miums. If he wished to do so, he could go on the street at any moment and bar row half a million dollars on his risks. John B. Stetsonand Hamilton Disston, also of Philadelphia, carry respect'vely $750,000 and $500,000 life insurance. Dr. Hostet ter.of Pittsburg, Penn., caries $S00,000. Among others who carry heavy life insur ance may be mentioned the following : George K. Anderson, of Chicago, $350,000: Pierre Lorillard. $3i0,000; Senator Cam eron, $200,000: George Harding, of Philadelphia, $200 000; Andrew Carnegie, $250,000: and George W.Childs and Whar ton Barker, $100,000 each. One may get some idea of what railways mean in the saving of time and money to passengers by taking the case of London. It is estimated that about 50,000 persons, or about one tenth of the population of the entire area of the metropolis, require to travel to and from their business every day all the year round. If we remember the distances, it is not too much to assume that the railway will economize for each at least two hours in the week, or say, five day8 per annum each. This, to over 500,000 people, means 2,500,000 days, or an econ omy of 8300 years, of 300 working days each I Suppose the average earnings of these 500,000 people to be $500 per annum each not too high an average when we re member the number of millionaires includ ed in the total we shall see a total money saving, In theyense of time being money, of equal to $4,150,000 per annum. And this in London alone. i-resiueni cnotot Harvard College savs he has recently traveled through Southern Spain, Northern Africa, Greece, and Con stantinople, and back by Vienna and ordin ary lines to England, without being able to speak any language but English, yet with out discomfort. He would have been glad to have had a few French words at com mand, but was not seriously incommoded "I sat down to dinner, one stormy night, in a Swiss inn, with sixteen people.

The spread of En glish, for purposes of commerce and gen- I , . .! 1 crui international purposes, is going on very rapidly. President Eliot thinks it due largely to the spread of the knowledge of popular English literature.

Bibkhart & Miller, Agt., Albany, Oregon, The Herald is very much disturbed be cause democratic papers accuse the repub licans of having adopted a "free whisky" platform. Well, we are not surprised, as the adoption of such a platform ought to condemn the party adopting it to over whelming and Ignominious defeat. Butis the charge true ? We do not ask any one to take what any democrat says, but take the republican platform itself. ' It is a well known fact that the government now col lects one hundred millions dollara more per year than Is necessary to pay its current expenses. All parties agree that this sur plus should be reduced to the extent of from seventy-five to ninety millions per year, in their platform they say that in order to reduce the surplus they would re peal the taxes on tobacco, and if this would not be enough they say as follows : "If there still remain a larger revenue than is requisite for the wants of the government, we favor the entire repeal of internal taxes rather than the surrender of any part of our protective system at the joint behest of the whisky trusts and the agents of foreign manufacturers." This then is what that party demands a repeal of the entire sys tem of Internal revenue. What is this system ? Why, it is the internal tax on to bacco, whisky and oleomargarinc.bank cir culation, etc. I low much revenue is deriv ed from this system ? The report of the Secretary of the treasury shows that last year the amount was as follews : Spirits, $65,829,321.71 i tobacco, $30,108,067.13 fermented liquors,$2i,o22,i87.49 j oleomar garine, $723,948.04 j bank circulation, etc., $J53,770-9i making a total Internal reve nue of $118,837,301.06 all, or nearly all, a lax upon luxuries which are not necessary for the comfort of the people at all, and ail of which the republicans declare thev will repeal before they will touch the protec tive tariff. Now,no republican or democrat has yet been found who would reduce the urp!us revenue to the amount of collcc. Hons made from internal revenue, so that all reductions that republicans would make would lie on whisky and tobacco. So that there is no escaping' the charge that the re publicans propose to take the tax off whis ky, thus making it free and keeping a high tax on the ncccssariesof life. Dr. M. H.
