Never Enilng Gre.d The man whobas been taught to lean on tbe strong arm of the k veruainot to secure eucceds in bis bua-neaB or avoca tion soon becomes an epitome of freed and gelfidlmees that known no bounds Tbere is no more apt illustration of thie tra:h than the sheep growers of the country. These men yeaia ago organ izeii themselves into a compact body and went up to cooRrees when the Dingley robber tarifl bill ;vaa ptmiinic and Ce man Jed ol the coin nut te who had the bill in charge tbe nifht to tormulate the wool schedule of the b'll, and they en forced this demand with the t'.iretU that every member of ron areas wbo dared op poee their w'atiea should meet with de feat at the polls whi up for re- .'tctlon. The ordinary conureBeman bad not the moral stamina to resist the th-eat, hence be Buccutnbed and the present high lar iff rates ware placed in the present laws by these sheep men whose greed knew no bounds. While it is the boast of the riends of the present adminstration that be incieaFe in-the price of nwii is to tbe so-called "prosperity" in thu land the fact is otherwise-. The tariff rateB 9TB so high ou imported wool aa to prac tically abut that article out of our mar kets, thus securing the complete control of the wool market to our borne wool producers. PoiBeeeiiig this monopoly of the market, these wool growers have done just what they intended to dowhen they Bet out. to secure a monopoly of the market raised the price ol wool simply because they now have the power to squeeze the people as they choose. Wbo payB this ...crease in the price of wool 7 Not the foreigner an McKinley says for the rsason that tbe tariff rale are o hi li that tbe importation of foreign wool is practically shut out. Then who does pay this iucrcate in th price? We have not far to go to find the answer; Every consumer of wool and woolen goods in the United States Is taxed to pay it. He pays it in the increased price of I he wool and woo!tn zoods which he buys. Now one would think these wool growers would be content with Ibis benevolent mark of paternalism whiub the general government has extended to them, hut they are not. The spirit of insatiable greed seems to have taken possession 'of them and they now want the tax payers of the entire stiite taxed to raise money to pay a bonus for the scalp of every coyote in tbe state. Now can any one ' give a stogie reason why tbe wheat rais ers in the Willamette VftU-y should be heavily taxed to protect the sheep of eastern audeoutbern Oregon form the ravages ol wild anim one. Why not tax the sheep and cattle raisers of eastern Oregon to raise a fund to de stroy tbe wheat and fruit pes is of the Willamette valley 7 Would not this be just a reasonable? Oh 1 the il limits bl nature of the greed anil flelflahoesn ere ated by onr bl eased protective tariff. ' Advertised for 40Venrs. A dispatch from Dunkirk, N. Y., tells of the following remarkable case: Forty years ago Manly Munger began advertising (or a wife. Today h has found her and has gons to Oonneaut, 0. where his ideal lives, to marry ber and bring her hoine. Mr. Munger was the oloneer in the ad vertising-for-a-wife business. He was particular In hs choice of a partner, and none of the vi'lage nr cointry girls in the community suited him So be adver tised when he was twenty years old. Newspapers and advertising of any de scription had not the vogue of the pres ent day, and answers to his request for a wife oame slowly but regularly. At Inter vals Mr. Munger renewed his advertise ment, changing the style of the adver tisement with the times, and be gradual - ty collected an enormous quantity of let ters and plotures from candidates for the position, None of them pleased him entirely bat as the years went by be still retained his Ideal and never doubted that he would ome time dad bar. Munger owns a farm In th southern part of Ohautauqua county and here he has lived for forty years with no other companions than the farm help and his great wooden cbest of letter! in the attio. When the flame of bll youthful hope burned low the old man uisd to retire to the attlo to look agaiu;over hie corres pondence to ratlify himself that he bad not by some chance overlooked hie soul mate, whom he insisted was one day coming. And after these two score years of persistent belief In the unknown, his goddess has been heard from, Munger la sixty years old and the coming bride s reported to be a llr young woman But the faithful old man will not say who she is noi anything concsrnlbg her, except that he has found her and that be has gons lo (etch her. Urover Cleveland revives the old aphorism that "the world owte every man a living." In a carefully qualified sense that is true. Kvsry man owes It to blmselfand whoever elee ie dependent upon him to earn a living, is a truer way tottate It. It was Henry Ward Beechsr who once sal a ol this old saying : "There ere men to whom the world owes nothing except a heitsr to hang them with," For example, the rmn who try to live by kidnapptne;childrn and rxtorting money by threats to kill them or destroy their eight. Wshlji4tim Letter- (From our regular Correspondent.) Washington, Pec. 24. h, 11)00. Will England accept the Americanised Ifav-Piuncefute treaty which will Btar for London this week, or will it reject it and invite something even less palat able 7 That is one of the mot discussed question of the (tour in v'aihtntou . Another is, will congrei h wait until Eik Und signifies its Intentions, before pass ing the Nicaragua canal bill? No one can answer either wim any certainty at this time, but the prevai irg opioion appears to be that the refusal of Eogland to accept the amended treaty would arouse a very bitter anll-Euglieh senti ment, which might result in legislation that would be dipaetrous to English in tarestB inptead of merely defending Amer ican interests, as tbe amended treaty doee. The canal question is really puz zling and becoming rrote so. Some of the Senators who talk loudest for tbe canal bill are under suspicion of not be ing sincere, and no one need be greatly surprised if there is no canal legislation at Ibis aeeeion although at tbe opening of the session, the canal hill wan consid ered one ttio cerlaintiep, and it ib fully known that the puhlic penliment of the country, regardles of politics, over. whdlmingly indorses the Nicaragua canal bill. The extent of the fig lit for re-election that little Billy Chandler has on bis hands may be judged from his having begged letterB of recommendation from twenty-three of the republican Benators, to be printed and circulated in New Hampshire, as an answer to the charge that be had lost the the confidence and support of many of bis republican col leagues in the Senate. Senator Bacon, just before leaving far his Georgia home, where he will spend the olid ay s, laughingly said to a fellow Senator with whom he was exchanging goodbyes: "I wish you a merry Christ mas and a happy New Year, butll can not wish you a bappy new century, be cause I believe tbe new century began on January 1, 1900 I can demonstrate too, mathematically, that L am right but I won't take tbe time to do it, because my view seems to be at variance with that entertained by the rest of tbe world." Minister Conger 1b to be recalled on account of hie alleged botcb work in the negotiations at Pekfo, which have re sulted In tbe signing of an agreement by tbe foreign ministers on the demandB that shall be made on China, fr close friends of the administration know wba they are talking about. Others eay ti at if Conger is recalled it will be merely to make him a scapegoat behind which tbe administration may conceal Its wab- bliug, which ended in a peremptory der to Conger to sign an agreement con taining demands that this government had over aud over again said it would not agree t J. A . Wilson, a Boston lawyer, who is In. Wavhlngton on business with tbe State department, said of the snip sub sidy bill: "It is wrong In principle and if enacted into law will establish a vio ious precedent. If congress wants te built up oar merchant marine, it will amend the law so that thoee engaged In the business may purchase .their ships or have them built in any country in the world and give tbem an American regie try.

This week in Albany there haB been i large gathering of teacere, as well-bC' hived, intelligent a body of people aB it la poesible to get together in u city, and it baB been Albany's good fortune to have them bere for a few days. A city is always bent fitted in many ways by such a gathering-. It is not merely beneficial from a financial standpoint, but aa well from a social and educational view. There may occaeionly be a srank among teachers as tbere ia among men of all professions, but the body of teacliorB are a refined, sonsible class of men and women who appreciate the importance of their mUeion, 8n,l earnestly labor for the advancement of their profession. There are some who nse teaching ae a stepping stone to other things, in fact many of the greatest men uf the tountry have been teachers, but most of them are in the busBineBB as a life calliug or until married, and everything that will help them in I heir calling tbey are anxious to learn, Tbe convention here haB been a success in every respect and baa been a decided credit to the teachers of western Oregon. Nothing baB been attracting more al teration than the kidnapping o the Oudahy buy at Omaha, one of the most daring things of the day. There baa been a gnat deal of moralizing on tbe queetimi of whether Mr. Curlahy did right in paying Ibe ranBom demanded . In one sense he did right and in another he did wrong, that s tbe long and short of 1', One needs to place one's self in hia place in order to appreciate the sitna t'on. What would you do if it were your boy and $26,000 was a matter of no concern oompared with the value of your boy s safety, Aa bad as tbe example w.b it ie easy to Bee what most men would do. Tbe men wbo did tbe deed will earn their money by the time tbey have eucceeded in escaping arrest, if tbey do. And If tbey are captured tbe money will be of no valuo to tbem alter they have aerved tbe long sentence they jre bound to have. The author of tbe flan to educate Fili pino students free at the American col leges deserves a vote of thanks. The idea is humane and logical, and will prove of vast benefit in Uacblng the better class of Filipinos that their conquerora have only their ultimate good at heart. Yale will take care of five students aa soon as they can be imported, and other col leges with similar good; intentions are being heard from every day. By th. time eome cf there young men begin returning home, wearing tell collars and leading bull pups by their chains, their com-patriota will begin to sie what they have been missing Chicago Journal. An Eaa'.ern eonespondent says : A modest estimate of the British losses up to date in tbe Boer war gives ti . to tal number of cascalties anions, the troops killed, wounded, dead of disease ur disabled at 46,000. In other words, more than one In Ave of th. 210,000 troops wbo were sent from home to con- quer the Boers has fallen a victim lo the obances of war. Th. dead are lucky; for Ally years to come the work-bouse, of Eogland will harbor th. maimed and helpless sur vivor, of Joe Ohamberlaiu's "glorious war." What doe.

Poling -spoke "On the relation of education to our govern ment." Tbe manner in which an educa tion prepares one for the duties of citi zenship, giving one power in the differ ent fields of life, wasenlarged upon in an able manner. The future ot the public is largely and safely committed to the school children ol to-day, and hence the greit importance of a proper education.
