There U one piece of red tape tbat eaob new House goes through with that gives the spectators in the gallery and the members on tbe floor an apportonlty to give vent to tbeir entbueiaem for an; particular man tbey believe io or whom tbey think is a popular' hero. That i- the time honored function of drawing eeate for tbe eeeeion. A. page 11 blind folded and be polls out of a box a marble With a number on it, and there ie member's name oppoiite this number.

For instance, there waa a resolution adopted that gave the floor leader of tbe republican side, tbt Hon. Sereno Payre, of .New York, and the oldest member on that side of tbe House, tbe Hon, Harry Bingham, o 1'ennsylvanfa, tbe floor leader of tbe democratic side, the Hon, John Sharp Williams, of Tennessee, tbe right to choose tbeir seats without drawing for . them. There was much applause when tbey went forward and cbote tbeir seats men tbe names ot prominent men on both sides of the House were called out, and as they went down the aisle to get their eeatB there went up the plaudits of their friends. Among the nnmber on tbe democratio side were Hon, Geo B. McOlellao, lately elected the demo cratic Mayor of greater w York, and tbe Hnn, William Randolph Heaiet, of New York, who has done so much for cause of democracy and tbe comtnon people of tbe country . He received an ovation that must have warmed the cockles of his heart, for it is the univer sal opinion hr.re that he and bis pBpers with himself as tbe directing democratic bead, won the recent eleotion in the city of New York. Tbe democrats all feel very kindly to him for his work for the party, and they improved the opportu nity to show him their marked appiecia tion of blB brilliant wors in behalf of democracy. Be has received marked attention from democrats here since the assembling of Congress. Some of the party leaders here are beginning to And out that be is a much bigger man than tbey thought; that be was not merely a newspape man who had made a phenomenal suo cess of the buainesB, but that the reason he made the success was because be was an abje executive, a single minded pa triot, and a lover of the common people As a consequence bis stock as tbe nomt nee of the democracy for the presidency has gone up several points.

OAWTOIHAi B.iriths Kind Yob Haw Always fetjflf Signature The Holly Rollers Now. From the Times: O. V. Hurt, whose name has been con nected with tbe new religion sect ol late, left Sunday for Portland on a busiceBB trip. It iB possible that from there be will go East for a brief visit with two sisters and a brother, and to look altei an estate in which he is interested. Io caso of the latter viei'. Mr. Hurt will be abBent three or (oar weeks. Concerning bis connection with the Holy Boilers, Mr. Hurt talked freely the other day with a Tines writer. He eaid that he bad read most of tbe news paper acconnts of tbe late excitement, and that all tbe things printed espec ially in San Francisco papers were not true, "I have no apologies lo make lor my course," be eaid, "but I do not care to bave attributed to me things in which I bave no part, 1 believe all those who are followers of our faith, are sincere and honest in tbeir belief. I have out so mi'cb faith as tbey bave, but I justify them in thelrjbellef, and trust that since their views are but slightly In advance ol what has been the foundation of many new sects, they are not unlike many who have preceded them and are there fore not justifiably tbe eubject of con tempt and ridicule. They preach tbe faith of John Wesley. Tbey believe no more than many another sect haB taught, the difference being that other sects after gaining ground and followers have begun to pander to tbe worldly. Concerning the reports of things that bad transpired at tbe house during the lafo excitement, Mr, Hurt said that nearly if not all ol the thingB destroyed were valueless, An old shot gun that ought to bave been destroyed long be fore because of its constant menace to the lad who carried it, was recounted as one of the articles that went into the flames. No carpets, according to the statement of Mr. Hurt, were burned. Most of the articles committed to the flames, he said, were rubbish and use less articles, such as accumulate abcut all bouses. Tbe sidewalks that were torn up, he said, Were not burned but were stored away for future use. Tbe dog that was killed, was an impertinent little canine, on which sentence of death had been pronounced many times be fore, and which ought to have iwn car ried out. Mr. Hurt expressed regret that such of his friends that bad called at the house, bad not been admitted to see him, The burning of the articles was done while Mr, Hurt was occupied with other matten. Brooks and Oremeld were the leaders in the delivery of articles to tbe flames. It is apparent, from his conver sation, that somethings were burnea witbout;Mr. Hurt's knowledge, and that be was not wholly aware of all the pur poses there waa in the destruction. In all things, Mr, Hurt Is aB be was '.in for mer days, save that he is an adherent of the new faith, though less zealous than are others in the movement. His trip East, if be goes, is partially at the re quest of bis brother and sisters, who have written him to come. When be retired from Kline's elore it was not tbe purpose of Mr. Hurt to reeign, x pected to be absent a tow daye in atten dance at the mootings, but it waa not bin purpose to permanently ssver bis connection with the establishment. About twenty members of the soot are rogularly at the Hurt house now. Broolis and Oreffield are there, and an enlargement of the accommodation is in progress. It is the plan to provide a comfortable room for religious worship that will afford ample accommodations The time is spent in study ol the Bible and in waiting the opportunity to go abroad and preach the Word. In time tbe sect hopes to build churches for wor ship to whioh the public may be bidden If he does not go East, Mr. Hurt will return to Corvallle the latter part of this week. With a recommendation of the Presi dent tor tbe Lewis and Clark approprla tion it Bhould go through the regular session of eongrese without obstruction though tbe spirit of tbe session wil' probably be to cut dowa all manner ol appropriations where posslbis for polltl oal effect.

An Interesting Study. 4 A very interesting Btudy is tbe past as revealed in tbe remnants of animals and men and hieroglyphics. One doesn't have to go away from Oregon to find a great deal that is of value along this line. Mr. J, G. Crawford, of this city, has a collection that is probably not surpassed 'n the slats, containing many things of value in the study ol the uaBt. An East ern production is Recoids of the Past and hj has been invited to present some of bis findings with Illustrations for the publication sometime in the future, and is preparing to do eo.

Tne etudy ia one deserving promotion, and more might well turn their attention to learning more about (be great past of tbe world and tbe development of tbe races. A year ago last Bpring there were a lot of people denouncing George E. Cham berlain because be was a man of no force of character, no backbone, etc., and de claring because he wbb a "jolly good fel low" be was unfit to be governor of Ore gon, Some of these self same people are now denouncing him because he has too much backbone, and has the nerve to Insist on a pledge from the members of the legislature that they will not "mon key'' with all manner of legislation if he convenes them in epecial session.

Tbe Panama affair rather leads th wioognt oi tne day, The recognition ol tbe independence of it by tbe United States has struck the entire world with lorce. On account ol the recent effort of the United States ti bave an under landing with Colombia and tbe estab liehment of a treatv under which ili-i country could build a canal across ti.e isthmus the matter has assumed large propo-tione. Tbe Indications are that tbe administration bad an arrangement with tbe people of Panama with tbe present result in view. But the cat is in tbe bag yet, scratching to get out Should tbe couree taken result in tbe building of tbe canal somethings might possibly be overlooked, though, ae a matter of principle our government should keep its bands and feet out of foreign disturbances. .... In Oregon a prominent politician and lawyer has been tried on the charge of a number of misdemeanors and acquitted on all charges. Foblio men as a rule unless the eyldenoe is very strong are generally tnrned loose. In this caae, though, it is very doubtful if there was any cause for tbe arrest in the first place.

Religion is a splendid thing, but tbe rel'gion of Dowie .s muddy water, Tem perance must be commended by every thinking person, even by those who are not temperate, but the temperance of Carrie Nation is of. tbe hyena order. Such people do the causes tbey are sup posed to represent muoh more barm than good. Oregonians continue to discuss the question of an extra session ol tbe state legislature, As a rule the position taken by the Governor is commenced.

Albany people are greatly interested in the effort being made to secure a new manufacturing intereet for tbe city, It is Mr, Cramer's intention to move' from Corvollip, hence our people are justified in obtaining the desirable plant if pos sible. Very properly the matter 1b being taken up in a business way, and is more than one of sentiment. There are details that muet be observed and cannot be omitted. Such things should not be swallowed in the dark, but ehould be taken after a thorough Investigation and it Ib known that the propoeitiou is a de sirable one, according to the general sentiment. What might be termed the "Roosevelt Doctrine" haB juat been ani.ouncedTfrom tbe While House in that part of the President's message which referred to the canal negotiations and was written before the revolution broke out in Pan ama. It had to be eut out ol the meS' sage, but the President took care that it sb.uld not be loBt to the public and gave it out for publication, He says very plainly, if Colombia will not come to satiafactory argument with us let us build tbe canal in spite of her. The following quotations give the substance ot tbe remarkable statement. "High authorities on international law hold that the canal can be dug as an iocident to exercislug the powei to prevent the obstruction of traffic acroBS the isthmus." "tn my judgment tt is time to declare that tbe beginning of tbe canal cannot be much longer delayed, This nation does not desire Is be unreasonable or Impatient, bnt it cannot and will not permit any body of men permanently to obstruct one of tbe great world highways of traffic." "Ic seemB (ivident in a mat ter eucb as this we ehould finally decide which Is the best route, and if the advan tages of thie or any other poasible route are sufficiently marked, we should then give notice tbat we can no longer snbmit to trifling or Insincere dealing on tbe part ol those whom tbe accident of poes tion has placed in temporary control of the ground tbrougb which the route must pass; that if they will eome to agreement wilh us in straightforward fashion we shall in return act not only wilh justice but with generosity ; and that il they fail to come to such agree ment with us, we must forthwith take the matter into our own bands." This s to be cut out ol the President's mes sage because of Ibe cbanged conditions on the Isthmus. Anderson' $Music House. Agent for Btelnway GranarEmeison ScbuloR pianos.
