Daily Democrat A California paper asserts that one of the tramps of the Santa Cruz chain gang wears kid glores when sweeping the streets. When a Turk dies, the legs are tied together and the amis stretched by the sides. The burial takes place is soon as possible after the death. The corpse is handled very tenderly, as the Turks, believe any lack of tenderness would bring the curw of the dead man's soul upon them. Salem, Cervallis ami Portland papers have severally given reasons why the re form school should not be established at Albany. Thev all take it upon themselves to say that they would like to see Albany prosper, but, and but, and but . Gentle men, you may just as well reserve this outlay of kindly feeling for Albany, for not one of her citizens In ten cares a tig about the matter of locating the school here. The people here believe that the united efforts and pluck of her own citizens is the best foundation upon which to base the future growth of the city. Equally important with pure air in living apartments is sunshine. It car ies with it radiance and cheer and vigor and good health. It is a purifier, warding off mold, moisture, gloom, depression and disease. It should be admitted to every apartment of the house,and made welcome at all times. It is a strong preventive to the disorders that visit shaded and musty places. It brings health and happiness that canr.ot be obtained from any other source. It is nat uie's own health giving agent, and nothing can he substituted for it. It has no artifi cial counterpart. It dees not only touch the physical body, but It reaches the mind and soul, and purifies the whole existence of man. It may fade a carpet or upholstery, but it will bring color to the cheek.light to the eye and elasticity to the step. The closed and shaded window may threw a richness of color upon the room.but it will bring paleness and feebleness to the occu pants. This health agent is free to all easily obtained, and one of the most eco nomic health preservers we have, and ready to impart its efficacy at tiie rise of the curtain. From our regular correspondent. TASH1XUTON. Washington, March 25th, 1889. President Harrison's appointment of "Corporal" Tanner to be Commissioner of Pensions is a great victory for the ring of Washington pension sharks, all of whom are rejoicing at their prospects for growing rich during four years of Tanner's favora ble decisions. Preparations are being made to flood the country with circulars inviting every ex-soldier, including those who have been refused pensions, to make new applications for them. Within an hour after Tanner's nomina tion was sent to the Senate, one agent here ordered 1,000,000 circulars printed, and bought fifty baskets of champagne to cel ebrate his brilliant victory. Conservative people are somewhat alarmed at the ap pointment of Mr Tanner, who has long been known to favor the giving of indis criminate pensions to every soldier who served three months in the Union Army. Our pension list is now nearly $100,000,000 ayear.and it will be in Mr. Tanner's power to largely increase that amount by deci sions under the present laws. There is some talk of trying to defeat his conBrma tion by the Senate, but it would hardly be possible, as every republican will yotc for him they dare not do otherwise. A gentleman who is thoroughly familiar with Pension office practice and who also knows Mr. Tanner well,said to-day : "The fiscal year beginning the first of next July will show a deficiency in the Pension ap propriation of from $10,000,000 to $50,000, ooo, owing to the construction Tanner will put upon existing laws, and Its dollars to pennies that when the estimates are made for the fiscal year 'oo-'ot, that pensions will be put down for at least $200,000,000. "Great Scott" And the war was over twenty-fire years ago. All the poor news paper men will have 10 become pension agents and get rich. That's the best thing 1 can th'.nk of. The Irish element In the republican par ty, although small, has just shown its pow er by preventing Whltelaw Reld's being appointed Minister to England. Reid had set his heart on going to London, but he got left,although he was nominated Minis ter to France as a compensation for his ruffled feelings. President Harrison has issued a procla mation opening up a portion of Oklahoma Territory to settlement. There is no good reason why It should not have been Issued two weeks ago. The negro callers at the White House have been pulte numerous of late.but so far the Precident has given the colored brother nothing at all, and he Is getting somewhat discouraged. All the clerks in the First Assistant Postmaster-General's office are working three hours a day extra time owing to the immense number ol applications for the fourth class post offices which ate pouring in. John C New, the man who helped to steal Indiana, has gotten the best paying berth under this Government. He has been appointed Consul General at London. A plan for rendering paper as tough as wood or leather has been recently introduced on the continent; it consists of mixing chloride of line with the pulp in course of manufacture. It has been found that the greater the degree of concentration of the zinc solution :he greater will be the toughness of the paper. It can be used for making boxes, combs, for roofing, and even for making boats. France is the greatest snuff-consuming coua try in the world, using 13,000,000 pounds a year, or an average of five ounces per capica. If you have any job wcrk fc d call on G. W.
