TljcLebaijoij Express. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1SS9. Be just before you are genoroiu. A roan cannot powesa anything better than a good woman, or worae than a bad one. What u that you nhould dwnys seep mbtm you have given it to an other? Your word. Keop your temper in disputes. The ritol hammer fashions the red-hot iron into an j chape needed. No one Knows the weight of anoth er man'a burden, nor tastes the null um of another man's tears. There is not a heart but has its momenta of longing, yearning for something better, nobler, holier than it knows now. i Those who befriend genius when it is straggling for distinction, befriend the world, and their names should be held in rememberanre. i.. XL., j JL ..LJL'i- -LJ . LLJ -.. -lit Remember that self interest is more licelr to warp your judgment than all other cireumHtances combined, there fore, Iook well to vourdutv when vour interest is concerned. That man who is afraid to mace an enemy or afraid of his enemies when they come ready made, as come they will, is not made of quite the metal to cut his way through the world. A woman may more safely marry a man whom she respects and esteems than one she loves. A woman may love a murderer, a race, a spendthrift, a gambler, but she cannot respect and esteem him. There are thousands of acres of fine fanning land laying idle in Linn countv. Lands are now too valuable to lay idle or be fenced in pastures. A man can not mace money raising a cow on five acres of hind that is worth t"0 or f 100 and that if in cultivation would sell for five times that amount STOLEN. Those who attended the press associ ation will remember the stand the edi tor of the West Bide took against taking article from other papers without Saving proper credit, he being the only person, excepting the president, who would express his opinion on this subject. Well, in the very next bwue of the West Side an article appearet', copied almost word for word from this paper, which we had written the day before leaving for Newport. The piece was copied from that paper with credit by the Yamhill Herald, but that is all right; if Pentland can stand it we can, for we are not making a kick. Oh, no; we only wish" our older brother to keep silence when one so much younger should chance to eteal au article new and then. A XttlT TO THE PI BL1C SCHOOL. On last Wednesday afternoon, in company with Mr. Singleton, we made the public school a viit, first going to the primary department, under the able and efficient management of Mint Fannie Griggs, who has bad charge of it for the past two years, and has so entangled herself in the hearts of the ' little one) that she has their utmost respect and confidence. We were present when the small reading class recited, but owing to our awkwardness and backwardness took no part in it There have been already a'xty-six scholars enrolled in this room six more tlmn were enrolled during the whole of last terra but Mia Fannie has them arranged and clamed well, and says she can manage them all right. We then visited the next room and were met very kindly by Prof. Hickman. On our entry the English Grammar class was reciting, after which we had the pleasure to hear a recitation in geography. The Profess or does not confine bimsef to the book by any means and is as well posted peron we have ever met He has some new charts, a new dtk and a tivw glut, which is a fine one. Thirty-was scholars have been enrolled in thin mom. The vfaul on the whole &; fjicnsd wiy '. preset, ' mjgxAlr,. ' ' rr.peruu year now kedi'ck ttiK sim-tra. As many are discussing the question of reducing the surplus in the United States treasury, from a political standpoint, each partisan trying to maKe his theory Bquare with public interest, and each of which are com mented upon by the press, approving or condemning as suits their notion; wo will offer a suggestion which may le of some use to help solve the vexed question. We think it will cut the Uordian knot It is an equal distri bution of the surplus among the Btatee; say one-half of f 100,000 equal ly to each state to be used as an edu cational fund, the other half, f 50,000, 000, distributed to each state accord ing to its representation in congress for internal improvements. Inasmuch as the surplus has been puid in by the toiling millions this process would pay it back to them in the way of reduced taxes for educational puroscs on one hand and build highways for their benefit on the other. Ijmn this basis Oregon would get nearly $1,316,000 for schools, which, added to her present school fund, would support our common schools without a direct tax upon the jn-ople for that purjHwe, or greatly reduce it. The Bhare Oregon would gmt from the other half, 50,000,000, would help build up and improve the state. We offer the above as a fair way of minc ing the surplus, and one wo have not seen advanced by any of our states men or tariff tinkers. What say you, tax payer. Phundealcr. MONTAGUE'S COLUMN. as i.rtsTKiors iowi girl. Miss Jennie Slack, aged 1C years, residing in the blue grass region of Iowa, has this season planted and cul tivated thiity-fi vc acres of corn, besides milking six cows night and morning and helping in other work about the farm and household. The corn is in splendid condition for a big crop, and the young lady who raised it is said to be ne-looKing, intelligent and none the worse for the hard work she has done for her invalid father, who was unable to pay a hired hand or do it himself, tfuch girls make good help meets for worthy and industrious young men. Chicago Inter-Ocean. A somewhat novel scheme has lieen proposed by Clans Spreckles, the sugar king. He has a plan for building an addition to the White House out of blocks of hardened sugar. 8pret-Kles maintains that he is now able to pro duce blocks of sugar whiter than mar ble and harder. The material, he asserts, will be less than one-half as expensive as marble. Ho guarantees it whiter and to hold color frfectly, no matter in what kind of weather, and warrants it to stand the wear of time for an indefinite eriod. Fx.

These figures will doubtless be of interest to those who invest five or six dollars per month in their local newspapers and flatter themselves with the idea that they are liberal advertisers.
