iiftmiyii Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - nd. Proprietor, Spain haa given official notice that she desires t(j join in an inter national bi-mctallio conference. Kansas and adjoining states hitvc been deluged by copious rains, much to the gratification of the farmers. Tub populist leaden are sound ing their fog-horns of danger against bi-nietalism. The masses of th p?.ty are more favorable to the . cause. The Orcgouian won a victory in the republican club com ention, but lost its case in the United States court:). It has been an able ooun sel lor the defense,' but the jury found Lotan and Seid Back guilty, just the same. Ex. Larue and enthusiastic audiences are greeting Secretary Carlisle in his gold-money lecturing tour. In Memphis his audience was very outspoken against silver. His speeches have produced various opinions. Home think them mas terpieces of eloquence and logic; others thine them but a feeble at tempt to excuse his change from silver to gold. ' "" . This is an age for young men, but they should not make tie grave mistake of supposing that they cm succeed without meeting opprtua ity half way. The young man who doesn't do something, who doesn't hustle, who doesn't make the most of the manifnldopportunities which the present age of enlightenment and progress affords him, will fall short of any success in life, to say nothing of the fact that the chances are nine to one that he will die in poverty and disgwee. " Bknatob Stewabt, of Nevada, decJLnres that he is an enthusiastic supporter of Sibley for president. He eays:'"I want to see ex-Congressman Joseph C. Sibley, of I'ennsylvania, the next president of the United States, and I am ad vocating him as a candidate. ' He is one of the ablest men in the country, and I do not know one who is more honest. He in almost too big a man for the presidency. His mental caliber is too lorgeand bis instincts too hon orable for the White House." Tub young ladies who are wait ing for a chance travail themselves of the leap year privileges will have to be on the lookout as the opportunities in the' next, decade are few. Eighteenthundred and ninety-six is not only the last leap year of this century, but it is the Inst one until 1904. The rule adopted in the Julian calender provides that every year that is divisible by four is a leap year, except the year beginning a cent ury, when it must be divisible by 400. Hence 189G will not. The man whose birthday falls on Feb ruary. 29, 1896, will not have an other opportunity until 1904. Any cause, it matters not how meritorious it may be, if ham pered by the "one man" idea, will not succeed. The cause of bi-mei-alism, as presented by Messrs. Bib ley and Warner, is a good thing and should succeed; but the pur pose of these gentlemen to advance Mr. Sibley to the presidency is so manifest, that this fact alone will injure the cause. There tour through the contry is made like the tour of some famous actor. The play is used to draw a crowd to tbe entertainment; but tbe actor hopes, by the aid of his astute manager, to reap a rich harvest in the mean time.; Politics are sometimes used as a vehicle to carry a man into office. If the cause of bi-metalism in Oregon, or Linn county, is used for this purpose, it will fail, for the people care more for the proper solution of the money question, than they do for the advancement of any ope man. It is to be hoped -that Ihstrus friends of bi-mt&W-Ura will guard tbis wti point, fur Populist leaders of Albany seem piqued because Lebanon secured Messrs. Sibley and Warner. Leb anon got but scant recognition at the hands of these same leaders at the hst convention in Albany. Why begrudge them thi slight ,-.B.. ...... . ...... v,...v.

The plan succeeded, Tb is far as paity division is con- cerned. If the populwt leaders lose a tew ot their Lebanon mends, they can't complain, for the Leb anon populist owe the Albany leaders of this party but little. Looking at it from a political stand point, the convention of re publican clubs, recently held in Portland, made a blunder in ignor ing the silverlement of the party. The meeting was adroitly managed by the gold bugs, who ssem to have recovered from their defeat in the election of a senator. It is a victory for them, but a bad more for the party. Locally speaking, it has engendered some bad feeling in this neighborhood, and a serious slip in the party is anticipated. This may be true, but the republi can have a way of their own' for healing party sores, that is very effective. Goods renewed every two weeks, therefore always fresh and new.

Mou cher Bossini, when you enter a room, the very larqner pronounces your name with pride as he announces you." Then turning to the company be con tinued: "Announce, for instance, M. 1 Duo d'Aumale and Signor Bossini at the same moment and see on which side all heads and all hearts will incline first. All eyes would boon the great musician who created 'II Barbiere de Seviglia. ' " And then we all rilled our. glasses with erroagnac of the vintage of 1611 and drank the health of Rossini.

A number of bnsiness announcement are to be found at Pompeii, that brisk little city to whose daily life tbe energy of Vesuvius has lent a kind of immor tality. Here we get a large number of miscellaneous inscriptions dealing with, matters of daily life, announcements of forthcoming gladiatorial games, edicts of magistrates, wine sellers' attempts to captivate customers, rewards far lost or stolen property, houses for sale or to be let and other things of that sort. We learn from one announcement that a gluss of wine could be got for 1 as about 8 farthings whilefor 4 asses one could drink real Falernian. Another inscription informs us that a denarius abont 7 pence was paid for wash ing a tunic, and the date, the 18th of April, is carefully recorded by the writ er. Whether she was the laundress or the owner of the tunic must be left un decided, but it seems at leaat that she was in the habit of marking up her washing account on the walls of her house. There are several such inscriptions on tbe same wall of this particular house, all dated the 20th of April, a tnnio and pallium; on the 7th of May, an ar ticle which need not be particularized, while on the day following two tunica are scoied.
