City Oicial Paper,
Although the invention of the
ontton gin has been credited nil
those veiire to Eli AVhitney, mod
ern writers claim it was in
vented by Mrs. Nathniel Green,
widow of Gen. Green, of revolu
tionary fame.
The aim of education should be
to tench us rather how to think,
than what to think rather to
improve our minds, eo as to enable
us to think for ourselves, thun to
load the memory with the thoughts
of other men.
Hon. T. J. Black's friends in
this state are urging his appoint
ment to the Collectoiship of Cus
toms of Portland, Oregon. A bet
ter choice could not be made by
Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Black is a
thorough and active democratic
leader of long standing. He is
honest, energetic and thoroughly
reliable capable of filling the po
sition with credit to himself and to
the complete satisfaction of the
'government.
The New York Sun says of the
new 25 cent piece: On one side of
the coin there are no less than ten
repetitions of the number 13.
There are 13 stars, 13 letters in
the scroll held by the eagles beak,
13 marginal feathers in each wing,
13 tail feathers, 13 parallel lines
in the shield, 13 horizontal bars,
13 arrowheads in one claw, and 13
letters in the words "quarter dollar."

The ruling of Postmaster Gen
eral Bissell in not allowing post
offices of the fourth class to be lo
cated in country 3tores is hardly
fair. Where a postoffice pays the
munificent sum of $6 per year it
is impossible to conduct it proper
ly unless in connection with some
other business. Thi ruling is
liable to bring about spirit of
inanity especially in this western
country where the communities
are far apart and the getting of
mails is a labor. In many parts of
Oregon the eountry store is the
only available place in which to
locate an office.
Chicago is preparing to put on
several hundred extra policemen
for the World's Fair year. Appli
cants must pass a written exnmina-.
tion. It was discovered Friday
that some one had worked up a
plan by which applicants can se
cure the necessary question blanks
already filled out in perfect shape.
Tne applicant comes to the exami
nation room, takes his blanks,
pretends to fill them out, slips
them into his pocket, substitutes
the prepared answers and turns
them in. One of them was caught
at it.and confessed so much. The
name of the man furnishing the
bogus papers has not yet been
learned. Ex. .,.',.
Electricity is now used in trac
tion, in illumination, in telegraphy,
submarine, and terrene.- in engi
neering, in medicine, surgery, in
agdculture, horticulture, and flor
iculture, in many kinds of mech
anism, in manufacturing, in heat
ing, in cooking, and in yet other
service. There are thousands of
electric railways; a new electric
ship is nearly completed at one
Pacific port, and we have the
promise of a new electrical bal
loon. This is the electrical age, as
well as the age of steam. We can
not put any limit,tothe use of elec
tricity, There may be other agen
cies of nature yet undiscovered
that will be serviceable to man
kind, It is likely that there will
be great times in this merry old
world within the next thousand
years. N. Y. Bun.

Oregonians who visit Washing
ton write back that Mr. Cleveland
is proceeding very carefully in
appointments, simply because
he conscientiously wishes to make
no mistakes. All agree on this point.
A Salem Journal reporter has
ascertained that Mr. Skinner, who
was recently buncoed out of
$12500, took no nowspaner. A re
ligions paper came to him, but of
course dealing largely with the
world, gave him no pointers on
the ways of the bunco steorer.
The correspondent of the Plain
dealer, who commits a forgery when
he signs himself "Farmer," wants
the people and tho newspapers of
Oregon to give trie lata legislature
a rest. He forgets that there is no
rest for the wicked in this world,
and probably none in any future
state of existence. Koseuurg Review.
We clip the following article
from a Texas exchange: The State
printhre oflice sit Austin is to be
sold. This was a costly experi
ment in the first place. By what
right does the state come in compe
tition with her individual citizens?
