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

populist friends see in th's fact a :
sly attempt to capture the populist
votes. As far as we can ascertain,
this affair was purely non-poiitical';M. Duuina. 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.

Now I know that you are uot from II.

"My father," said M. Dumas fils,
"once told me that if he could portion
out a new lite he would be a handsome
woman till 80, a victorious general
from 80 to 50 and a cardinal in his old
Dumas, as he related this par
ental desire, glanced toward Rossini and
added: "1 should prefer to close my life
as au illustrious composer. 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. The old
composer did not rise, but his face broke
out into voluminous smiles as he shook
the hand of the author of "La Dame

FompotlMl Business Notes.
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

Queen Victoria's wonderful set of ta

golden table service made for George VI,
calculated for 180 guests and contain
ing the famous crystal champagne cool

There are many pieces in it that former

splendid solid gold vessels from India,

A member of a Houston volunteer fin
company did not appear at the scene of
the conflagration until after tbe fire wa

partment reproached him bitterly for bis
neglect of duty.

man. "I livequite a distance from tbe
fire."
"That's no excuse. You must move
nearer to the next fire." Texas Sitt

"Yes."
"And she refused you?"
"Yes."
