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.

puijuua
The busy gorge of humanity often
pawns far a moment to hear the mote
bat eloquent appeal. Men with business
gaits sometimes drop out of the crowd
to linger an instant and calculate with
their wanted rapidity the marvelous les
son of a chart. Religiously inclined
people hang for minutes musing an the

their lips for the condition of this world.

The text, as it is a sermon, is, "Go
forth into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. " It is a plea
far missions at the top of a chart with
1,424 squares. 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

fourths of one of these squares is red,
representing 750,000 professed Chris

The Sole Woman Delegate.
Miss Annie Linoedd was the sole
woman delegate among the SO who
attended the fourth annual convention of
the National Textile union recently held
in Philadelphia. Hiss Lincedd is presi

bright speaker. The National Textile
union embraces in its membership all
branches of the textile industry, includ
ing workers In cotton and gingham

of additional plates and tables adds to
the total receipts, which are further in

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.

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

terrible state. I could not turn over in
bed without assistance. As there was
no physician in Harney I tried various
liniments, but they all failed. When
my condition was very serious, as the
miu seemed to be striking near the
heart, your agent came along and hod a
bottle of Conga, Oil. Hearing I was 111
wUh rheumatism, he called upon me,
and brought a bottle of Congo Oil. He
commenced rubbing me with it, and in
less than five minutes I was relieved ; In
half an hour I wns able to swing my feet
nut of bed. and one hour I was down
stairs. He left the bottle with me and I
applied it several times. From that din
to this I have nut been troubled v.'i'l
rheumatism. I fool that I owe my hi
to the wonderful oil. All this can K
