Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK. Editor - and - Proprietor. 500 saloons have clused their doors in Chicago since the dull times. Liziie Borden polled nearly 100, 00U votes in a World's Fair coupon contest conducted by the Boston Journal, but refused to make the trip after winning it. There are more than 3,OCO,000 lying in the Massachusetts State Treasury awaiting distribution a mortg the certificate holders of de funct endowed orders. Dakota and Minnesota farmers get back 640,000 bushels of wheat bv court decision on the iNorthern Pacific Elevator Company frauds, which cost New England bankers dear. Beal Gaither has been appointed Indian agent at the Sileti reserva tion. Mr. Gaither held the posi tion under the former democratic administration, but was ousted as soon as Harrison was inaugurated. There are two tliingB, a groat di plomat said in his old age, to whieh we never grow used the ravages of time and the injustice of our fellow-men. We should rather say that we often grow used but never become reconciled to them. Kansas has a school for every 186 people. In Illinois the pro portion is one school to 300, in Ohio the same, in Pennsylvania one to 400, and in Massachusetts one to 600. One of the best signs that money matters are on the improve, y the fact that we are now ''out" only J18,OOC,000 by the gold movement from and to this country this year. Five or six weeks ago the amount of our loss was not far from $60, 000,000. " The public schools of Cleveland, O'.iio. have abandoned the system of promotion on written examina tions; as a substitute for it they propose the monthly ranking sys tem, and they are supported in this by some of the moat eminent educators of the country. There is just as much money in the country as there was a year ago. The crops are unexception ally good, and there can be no vaiid reason assigned lor the pres ent depression in ordinary busi ness except there is a want of confidence among the people to in vest their money. Ex. However loudly Mrs. Lease mey ye1.'. "I:uani:!-V," J n exchange, she is taking good care of number one. Since she started in with the populist movement she iB said to have cleared off considerable mort gages on the farm and her hus hand's drue store, Durchassd a city home in Wichita, and sent her children to expensive schools. Judge Burnett is one of the most expeditious judges we ever saw in holdine court and disposing of cases. He does not admit of dilly dallying or delay by the lawyers. While Judee Burnett is a very pleasant gentleman outside of court, he hus the dignity and regal bearing of a czar in the court room. Sometimes he seems a little arbi trary and severe in the promptness with which he disposes of matters, but his rulings appear just gen erally, and by his decisive manner he saves a great deal ol money tor the people. It costs money to run a circuit court, and the sooner jus tice is meted out properly, the sooner the expense ceases. Tilla mook Headlight. "Half the pastors in town need the courage of their convictions. Take a little Methodist preacher, he goes to church on Sundays and preaches- an hour and a half on infant baptism, when two-thirds of the men in the congregation are going to hell and the babies are all asleep. That little Presby terian fellow putting his congre gation to sleep on final persever ance of the saints, when he ain't got nothing to persevere about. The little Episcopalian feeds his flock apostolic succession, telling them where they came from; better be telling them where they are going. And the Baptist and Christians are shouting 'water! water!' when most of their crowd are going where they won't get a drop. Brethren, throw down these things; get on the ten command ments and save this town." Sam Jones. Have Your Job Printing Done at the Express Office. It is a healthy sign to see the suspended banks of Denver all opening up to business so promptly. There was u terrible crash among them when the crash was on, but now that things have settled a lit tiu liii.' banks are coming to the surface with phenomenal celerity. No doubt the Denver bankers are men who are not slow to grab the dilemma by the horns and fight their way back to the ground they have lost. The following statement is go ing the rounds: "It is estimated that the melon crop of Georgia this year will ke worth nearly a quarter of a million dollars to the farmers and about a hundred thousand dollars to the rail-roads in the stute." Very likely the to tal amounts are not correct, but the chauces are that the propor tion of earnings is about right. The farmer must run 11 risk, pay all expenses of growing, and also pay 10 cents for hauling 25' cents worth of produce to market! En rol New Yorker. The editorial prediction is made in the last number of Harper'B Weekly that within six months money will be a drug in the mar ket. We quote: "Eventually the country must make up its mind how to" provide for the expansion of its circulating medium whether by gold or by bank notes or by government notes. But we need not care for this now. For the present we have currency enough; what we need iB confidence, not money. The panicky feeling now causes a drain on bank reserves; money is being withdrawn, hoard ed, collected, by those who fear runs and collapses. When the normal course of things is resumed the moiiey will flow back to the usual depositories, bank vaults will he filled to overflowing, and the country will find it has more mon ey than it knows what to do witn This is the sequence of the finan cial panic, regular as the sequence of day after night. The redun dancy will probably be greater than ever this time, because of the rate at which the currency supply has grown since 1890." GOOD WORK at LOW PRICES, BY TRADING WITH S. P.

Blowly the great fruit in' dustry is being developed and the next few years will find Oregon sending large quantities of the fruit to the markets of the East. Our valley is now one of prosperity, but the dividing of the large tracts into smaller enes and the setting of these to fruit trees, etc., will give profitable employment to tens ol thousands of people.
