Daily Democrat Democrat of the I louse are preparing to make a vigorous fight on the tariff ques tion if the Senate bill should pass and come before that body. This is right. Let the educational work go on. The democratic position is right on this question and time -will prove it. There are some hopeful signs that Mr. Harrison will enforce the civil service and tenure of office laws almost as rigidly as President Cleveland has. Should he do so the principles of true civil service reform will begin lo take such root In the minds of the people by the time of the close of his term that the people thereafter will be unwilling to return tothe old speils system. The reign of terror in some parts of the East, caused by White Cap outrages, has aroused the attention of the authorities. Effective measures are at last being taken to bring the offenders to justice. It is high time. Whatever good may at first have teen done by thecowardly miscreants who go abroad at nights to whip and abuse those suspected of immoralities, was soon more than offset by greater evils. The failure of justice in civilized courts does not justl iy a return to the methods of barbarism or emi-savagery. Evils that law cannot cure are test reached by the education of an enlightened public sentiment. Some Albany republicans are scheming to secure the office of U. S. Marshal for Oregon for H. P. Mays, of The Dalles. This is said to be a move to antagonize the claims of N. B. Humphrey for that office. If there is to be a "clean sweep" under Harrison, which many believe, then party service 3t to be the chief recommendation for edict, and in this sense we think the Capt. has fairly won the office. Let any one -who knows reflect upon the party service rendered by the Captain during the June and November campaigns, and especially the valuable services rendered his party in the late city eiection.and he will say the Captain has earned the U. S. Marshalship. Hooks and eyes formerly were made by hand, the wiie of which they are formed being bent into tiie proper shape by pliers ; now, however, they are entirely made by machines of great simplicity and beauty. With a pair of thelstter it is possible to make 200 hooks and the same number of eyes in one. minute. The operations of the machine are, first, to draw the wire forward from the supplying reel, then cut off the length required for hook or eye, as the case may be ; a sinker then descends and forces it into a slot, by which it is bent, and two projecting cams acting at the same time on the two ends bend them over so as to form the lateral loops used for sewing the hook or eye to the garment ; then in the case of the hook it is passed under another sinker, 'Which forces the double wire Into another slot and forms the hook part ; one side of the slot being movable is made to strike the bent portion of the hook sufficiently to flatten it. It is then complete, and drops out to make room for another. A very curinus number is i42,S57,which multiplied by i, 3, 3, 4, 5 or 6 gives the same figures in the same order, beginning at a different point ; but if multiplied by 7 gives all nines. Multiplied by 1 it equals 142,857, multiplied by 2 it equals 285,714, multiplied by 3 equals 428,751, multiplied by 4 equals 571 42S, multiplied by 5 equals 714,285, multiplied by 6 equals 857,142, multiplied by 7 equals 999,999. Multiply 142,857 by 8 and you have 1,142,856. Then add the first figure to the last and you have 142,857, the original number, the figures exactly the same as at the start. Another mathematical wonder is the following : It is discovered that the multiplication of 9 3 7654321 by 45 gives 444,444,444.445. Reversing the order of the digets and mul tiplying 1 a 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 by 45 we get a re suit equally curious, 5,555,555,505. If we take 123456789 as the multiplicand, and interchanging the figures of 45 take 54 as the multiplier, 6,666,666,606. Return ing to the multiplicand, 98765432 1, and 54 as the multiplier again, we get 53, 333.333.34 3' except the first and last figures, which together read 54, the multi' pller. Take the same multiplicand and 27, the half of 54, as the multiplier, we get a product of 26,666,666,667 all 6's except the first and last figures, which together read 27, the multiplier. Now interchanging the order of the figures 27 and using 72 as the multiplier and 9 87654321 as the rnul tiplicand,we get a product of 71,111,111,112 all t's except the first and last figures which read together 72,the multiplier.

Ni'RSKRY J. F. Backensto is the ac credited agent of Vancouver Nursery, Ap ply to him for fruit or ornamental trees at A'flStr, Oregon. Private Dalzcll is out in a letter in which he remarks: "I know only the old soldier, and him well pensioned. Politicians do nothing for love.and are only driven by the scorpion whips of ven geance. A vote is their heaven and the loss of it their hell. Their third heaven is office, and the highway to it must be prepared by the vot es of the G. A. R., who are omnipotent in American politics and will be till 2050 they and their sons. They will rule this country as alsolutely as the Czar of all the Russias for two centuries to come, one way or other, di rectly or indirectly! They have chosen the Republican party and elected it for one only purpose, and that is to distribute the suqilus and much more and no less surplus for that purpose among the boys in blue, and do it p. d. q. and no back talk, no speeches and no foolishnees.
