The Lebanon Express. Fill DAY, FKHHUARY 3, 18SS. " The Oregon" Scout ys: Senator Mitchell has introduced a bill appro- dating $150,000 to build a Postofllcent Salem. The Senator, like the rest of his party, Is in fivor f getting rid of the surplus. 8atem litis about n-s much use for a $150,000 lWonloe as Union has for a Colossus of IUkhIcs to span Catherine owk. The fund for a monument to General Ulysses R. Grant has reached the sum of $120,000, which is at least ?40,lXX) more than Is actually needed. For the last three meetings there has been no quorum of directors present; and the next thing we shall hear from it will 1 that the treasurer is livinar atToron- , , ... , , to or 3fontreal and "waiting for the thing to blow over."- mm a. i 1 1 .road in Oregon, aggregating DO tons of rail to the mile, or a total of 135,000 tons, which being taxed $17 per ton duty amounts to $2,535,000. The aver age life of a steel rail is 10 years, which divided into f 2,203,000, shows that over $200,000 is annually taken out of the pockets of the Oregon shippers for the benefit of Kast rn rolling mills. ' Hon. Binger Hermann, Oregon's congressman, is a trump. He has the gratitude and thanks of the people of Lake county for his untiring and un ceasing efforts In our behalf. He is a "stayer," and dou't know how the word, fail, is spelled. We like him, and believe that he should be encour aged by the people he benefits and la bors for. Laie County Krrtmlner. ' A Washington correspondent asserts that indications are not wanting that a strong Mormon lobby is at work to se cure the admission of Utah as a state at this session of congress. No oppo sition of consequence is expected, ex cept in the senate, and repulliTU sen ators from the Pacific coast are counted upon to support the bill. If this scheme is attempted the Mormons will simply findout that they have eounted without their host. Senator Vest, of Missouri, in his speech opposing the Blair educational bill, argues that crime and illiteracy do not go together. To show this he com pares southern with southern and northern with northern states, deem ing that a fair way, and somewhat ad roitly makes a specious showing; but it appears by an analysis of the question on a fair basis, that crime does bear a close relation to illiteracy. If it does not, our millions spent for education had better lie diverted to some other and more profitable use. At the present time organized labor seems to be its own worst enemv, fc?ucii organizations may be useful and helpful, but when a few men can take it upon themselves to say when thous ands of other men shall or shall hot work, it is time for those who respect themselves to resist. If there is ever a time to strike, it is certainly not when snow covers the earth and biting winds blow over empty flour barrels and small piles of coal. The Heading strike, by which nothing was or Mill lie gained, is an illustration and is sure ly the beginning of the end of the Knights of Tabor as a potential factor in directing the labor interests of the country. This will also probably mark the removal of Powderly as a factor in the labor problem, besides convincing many people that no wrong exists, that labor centralization will not exagger ate. ABRAHAM LINCOLN ON TEM PERANCE. In our contest with the liquor traffic, we should be encouraged by the vrews of great and noble men. We therefore publish Lincoln's own words on the curse of alcohol: Of our political revolution of 1776 we are justly proud. It has given us a de gree of political freedom far exceeding that of. any other nation of the earth." In it the world has found a solution of the long-mooted problem as to the cap ability of man to govern himself. In it was the germ that Vegetated, and still is to grow and expand into uni versal liberty of mankind. Turn now to the temperance revolu tion. In it w-e shall find a stronger bondage broken, viler slavery commit ted, a greater tyrant deposed; in it, more of want supplied, more disease healed, more sorrow assuaged. By it no orphans starving, no widows weep ing; by it, none wounded m feeling, none injured in interest-; even the dram maker and dram-seller will have glided into other occupations so gradually as never to have felt the change, and will stand ready to join all others in the universal song of gladness. And what a noble ally this to the cause of politi cal freedom! With such an aid its march can not fail to be on and on, till every son of earth shall drink in rich fruition the sorrow-quenching draugltts of perfect freedom. Happy day when, ! all appetites controlled, all matter sub- j jeeted, mind, all-conquerable mind, shall live and move the monarch of the j world! Glorious consummation! Hail,; fall of furyt Iicign of reason, all hail! And when the vitftory shall he eom plete when there shall tie neither a slave nor a drunkard on the earth how proud tle title of that land which may .ly tiistinguisnea tnat peoi shall have planted and nurtured to ma- j toarity both the political and moral free- ! lom of their specks I truly claim to be the birthplace and the ; , , , , i .1 .1 1 ., on my guard; but here comes the six'o- wadle of with those revolutions that . , , , , , , ! . ......... . 1 lal. and as soon as she's bv. if voti'll 1 shall have ended hi that victory: How;, ' . . ,, v, .... . . . ., . - , . back your train up a little, I'll draw Jiuiii t uirijiiuuinti,u Ltiut, ir t'lur n 110 TOLD BY THE ENGINEER. by rn.iiti.rs SKttTus nonn. m'thor or "nit train i trtsrATt'llKR," Bit'. tWriltcn fine (he im-ffouitin. There were two trains waiting for the special on the side track at Mor loy's. The engineers, conductors, brakemen and firemen had deserted their charges and were gat Wertnl in a little group be neath the trees beside the station. The two ejigincs, so elosely together that their pilots almost touched, were softly purring to themselves, niugnlH ceut illustrations of dormant power. "Them two engines standin' so close together," remarked Kngineer Jim Thomas, "reminds me of a little hap l enstam-e when I was rmuiin' on the A railroad." "Well, go on and tell us about It," remarked the conductor, "you know you're aehln to." "Well, it's somethln' I don't teli much," rejoined the engineer," and I don't know whether you'll believe the . . . . T , . . , either, for it's true just the name." "Frank La r kin used to be my fire man in those days, and together we did keep the No. 262 lookin pretty bright, and got some mighty good time out of her, too. "One season we used to bring up the limited every other night and run back on accommodations. 'Twas a sort of split up run, but it was the best-we could do then, and we had to be satis fied. . "The limited had to do some all fired good runnin to make her con netrt ions, and we used to have to watch every hook and crook to keep from being de layed any. But Frank was a good one to make steam, and we took consider able pride in keeping up to schedule time. Well, one night, as we was go- -' in' round the Big Tree curve between Liimont ami tiarianus, rranR was shoveling coal down from tiie ton of the big pile in the tender. Just as we rounded the curve I heard a terrible shriek. I looked around, and Frank was gone. He had forgotten to brace himself for the curve, and had been dashed from the tender to' the ground. "I stopix-d, ran back, and found poor Frank lying beside the track, apparent ly dead. We put him in the baggage car and took him home; I got leave of absence and for two weeks Frank's wife and I watched by the bedside where the poor lad lay delirious. "The doctors said from the first he couldn't get well; most we could hope for was that his mind would clear up enough so he could recognize us before he died; but the boy lay there and rav ed, and screamed, and talked to him self, and was all the time rlaggin' trains and firm' up, and livin' over the aw ful fall; but though his poor little wife most cried her pretty eyes out. Frank would only stare at her with wild' glassy eyes, and motion her away, when she would speak to him, and call him pet names, and try so hard to arouse a spark of recognition. "Well, one night I had sent the Joor wcrnout little woman to lied, Frank was rambling along in his usual way, but did not rave quite so much as usual. He lay quiet a long time, and I had almost got to nodding in my chair, when he suddenly says quite nat- ural 1MUS x " l" ",s l".l V,S 1 , 1 .. l fl:l jt vmrlln, V a l i side, tie seized my ikiiiii. (tooi-iivc. old man," he said. "My orders are. through don't forget me I'll watch over you and the old 262 as long as you bang together. Good -bye. Now call Lizzie, my darling " "I ran from the room, but when I got back there wa'nt nuthin' for that poor little heart-broken creature to look at, but jest the dead body of one of the noblest boys the Ixrd ever nipped ofl Iietore his lift vrss hanllv heinm "Well, we laid Frank away, and 1 liad the old 2R2 draped in black for months. I had another fireman as signed me, and though he did as well as he could, he never could be quite the same to me as poor dead Frank. "One night we was bringin' up the limited as usual, and, of course, had the right of the road. Xothin' seemed to work right that night someway; we started out late, and then the engine acted up and wouldn't make steam good, and we didn't make up a minute, though we pushed the old engine for all she was worth. All through the run there had been some things on my mind that made me feel blue, a sort of foreboding of trouble. When we left Lamnnt we had made up aoout five minutes, and I prepared to rush things. Just as we were pulliu' out, tlte operator handed me an order not to pass Uralands until light engine No. 393 arrived, and then we lit out for all we was worth. Rut some way I felt uneasy every time I would pull the lever to let her out a peg, though there wa'nt no particular reason for it. "Just the same, wc was streakin' along nigh unto fifty, miles an hour ! when we went to the Rig Tree curve. I don't know what made me look around, but something did, and I hope I may never make another run, if there didn't stand Frank on the pile of coal in the tender, looking straight at me as natural as life. "I almost jumped oflTrny seat in the cab, when in an instant he threw up bis hands, and fell off with that same awful shriek he gave on the night he was killed. Involuntarily I threw the engine over, and turned on the brakes, and not a darn second too soon either, for when we got around the curve then was the headlight of that 393 onlj altout two train lengths away, and by the time we could stop the pilots was as nigh together as them are out there. About as close as ever I want to have. "The operator had made a mistake on the light engine's order, and written Iamont instead of Garlands. j . "My fireman said he didn't see or i hear anything of the form on the ten der, but I know it was Frank just the i same, and I know he came to warn me of danger, and I know he 1s watchin' t over me all the time, and I feel safe when I pull out sharp on a nasty night, ! bt'causc I know if there's any trouble over that middle switch and get out of the way.
