Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK. Editor - and Proprietor. THE GREAT STRIKE. Very little information can be gathered here about the great Pull man strike. The Oregonian, upon which we mainly rely for news, doeB not get outside of Portland. We obtin, by telegraph-and other wise, information to the following effect: All the railroads in the United Btatesare affected some are totally blocked, others are badly crippled. .No passenger trains are moving and freight cars laden with perish ing fruit and putrifying meats are standing in the broiling "-sun, guarded by Btrikers, who frustrate any attempt to move them. Thous ands of pounds of beef are rotting in and around the stock yards of Armour, near Chicago. California and Oregon fruits are decaying along all the lines running East. Passengers are switched off to rus tle for something to eat in desert places, on hot prairies and on snowy mountains. Women and little children are neglected and made to suffer hunger and thirst. The world, so far as the United StateB is concerned, is at a stand still. Millions of dollars of prop erty are idle and tens of thousands of men are out of employment. All this is brought about by the orders of one Debs, who is the chief of the railroad employes. The Pullman Car Company had a dispute with its employes as to their wages. The men struck and the entire labor element has quit work in sympathy for these few dissatisfied men. Congress has ceased to discuss the tariff and are considering .the great strike, en deavoring to find a solution of the problem as to the quickest arid best way of letting the world begin again to move. Every man in the union, in fsct nearly all the na tions of the earth, are more or less affected by this strike. In many cities sufficient food cannot be pur chased. No trains are passing through our valley no mail, no express, no freight, no passengers. By the grace of God, the Lebanon and Albany banch is still working. We know very little of what the out side world is doing. We will have to wait, at the mercy of these strikes, who have thoroughly de moralized the country. This strike will go a long way toward placing the railroad men under the control of the government. Men may quit work if they wish, but no man has a right to force other men to stop work and demoralize the en tire community. Severe punish ment Bhould be inflicted. JOXES ON THIRD PARTY1SM. Published by Bequest.) The third party, or party of the third party, or whatever you may call it, may get to heaven but they will never get to Washington. It's not on the way. Washington is the wickedest place on earth. Itis the home of the devil. The aver age democratic jand republican politician are little better than rascals, but the third party man is a tool. You can reform a rascal, but did you ever try to monkey with a fool? They want to borrow money of the government at 2 per cent, when the government is now borrowine it at 5. We hear a great deal of lool talk about the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer under the present law. There never was a greater lie, and I'll prove it. There's nothing the matter with the law. It's the man, that's at fault. There's a lawyer on that side of the house making $20,000 a year. Here's a little pettifogger whose family is starving. The law is not to blame. Here's a physician making $10,000 a year. There's a little doctor on the other corner that can't make his salt. The law is not to blame. I preach nearly every day to 8,00p people, and here's a little preacher sitting behind me that can't aver age 200. The trouble is not in the law, brother, it's in your noggin. The difference is organic. If all the wealth in the United States were divided out to-day each man would get about $1,160, and in lest than six months some fellows would be riding in palace cars and others would be walking cross-ties and howling fur another divy. Canadian Record. Crazy or not ornzy, Prendergast will hang on the 13th day of this mouth. If he is crazy It is such a vicious type of insanity that bank ing is the only protection against it. The long delay in his punishment is a reproach upon the syBterj of American jurisprudence. THE LADY BARBER.

Each square is about on inch and represents a million people, all of them together the population of the world. Each religions organization is characterized by a different color. The Protestants number 116,000,000; the Greek church, 84,000,000; the Roman Catholics, 190,000,000; the Jews, 8,000,000; the Mohammedans, 170, 000,000, and the heathens the enormous number of 856,000,000. The heathen world is painted suggestively in black. Bight in the center are three white squares. They look lonely and endan gered as a little white skiff tossed on the heaving bosom of the dark and stormy sea, Only three small squares out of that yaat number to represent the Chris tian element in this world! And this only the nominal Christians, for three fourths of one of these squares is red, representing 750,000 professed Chris tians. All kinds of remarks are made by the people who look, Chicago News.

Each swish of the water that seems glad to escape the noisy thraldom and ceaseless pounding drives a little of the pulpy ore through screens in the front of the mortars and over inclined copper plates, the mercurial surface of 'which seizes the freed gold while the rock dis appears over the tailboard, onward to the creek. Formerly no effort was made to recover any value from these tailings. which still contained over 60 per oent of the mineral. Now, however, the use of additional plates and tables adds to the total receipts, which are further in creased by the introduction of blankets, in the nap of which some of the riches are mechanically collected. Though crude, this is an improvement upon the method of collecting gold in the Malay islands, where the washings swept over prostrate women, In whose hair the metal was caught. On every Sunday the giant pestles are hung up far rest, while the mercury gold alloy is scraped off the plates. After straining, the amalgam is of almost the consistency of thick corn meal mush and contains about one fourth of its weight in invisible par- uciesor gold, rtom the results of each week's run the mercury is distilled, leaving a beautiful, porous cake of metal of the size of a baseball, as the fruits of prapectingfor, mining and stamping of perhaps 200 tons of ore. Cassiar's Magazine. Hie Order. A speaker who has planned an ad dress for a multitude and finds himself confronted with but a single auditor sometimes fails to readjust his remarks, and the result is apt to be ludicrous. A little story illustrative of this point is told in connection with a former nresi- dent of the University of North Caro lina. One day as this dignified and stately personage was walking about the cam pus he observed an unlawful assemblage of students at some little distance. Be did not hasten his steps, but proceeded slowly toward them, with his head down and his eyes apparently bent in contem plation of his own books. When this leisurely proceeding had brought bin, to the spot where the students had been gathered, only one young man remained, the others having precipitately departed. The president raised his head and sur veyed the solitary culprit with apparent severity, although the young man al ways contended that he detected a twin kle in his keen eyes. "Bir, " said the president in a com manding tone, "instantly disperse to your several places of abode. " Difficult though the feat required certainly was, the. young mm executed it to the best of his ability by "dis persing" without further delay. Youth's Companion. , ALetalTUt, The following amiable contest co cured in Westminister hall between Lord Campbell and an eminent queen's counsel. The action was one brought to recover for damages done to a carriage which the O, U repeatedly called a broug ham, pronouncing both srllablea of the word brougham, whereupon .bora uampoeu pompously observed: "Broom is the more usual pronuncia tion. A carriage of the kind yon mean is generally and not incorrectly called a broom. That pronunciation is open to no grave OMection, and it has the great ad vantage of saving the time consumed by uttering an extra syllable. " Half an hour later in the same trial Lord Camrj- bell, alluding to a decision given in a similar action, said, "In that the car riage which had sustained injury was an onuribus" "Pardon me, mv lord. " interposed the Q. C, "a carriage of the kind to which you draw attention is usually termed a 'bus.' That pronuncia tion la open to no great objection, and it has the great advantage of saving the time consumed by uttering two extra syllables. " The interruption was fol lowed, by a roar of laughter, in which Lord Campbell joined more heartily than any one else. Argosy. "Djed Milk" jr A writer reveals some of the secrets of uis milk trade as discovered by him self in an attempt to run a London dai ry upon honest principles. Bis first dis covery was that all London milk has to be "dyed" to suit the London fancy. This is effected by mixing about one tesspoonful of liquid "anotta," vegeta ble dye at a harmless nature, with every eight quarts of milk. In vain he explained to his London customers that the proper color of most milk la white. "They insisted that my white milk was 'chalk and water' and other people's 'cream colored' milk was oreamy, beau tiful, rich and fresh. My milk was skimmed, etc I gave way in this thing alone. I gave them their hearts' desire the cream colored milk. "London Standard. , X Tune to Waste. Mrs. de Style I should just like to know who that young man is that you seem to be encouraging.
