i I Lebanon Express. H. Y. K1RKPATRICK, Editor - and - Proprietor The U. 8. senate has passed the silver bond bill. Lloyd Montgomery lint been executed but Theodore Durrani is still alive. A Rhode Island inventor pro poses to utilize the motion of ihe waves in propelling vessels. A senate bill has been introduced by Vest, creating the territory of Iudianola out of the part of Indian Territory occupied by the five civilized tribes. The state of California is dis graced by allowing the villain, Currant, to still breathe the air of that state or to breat ie the air of any place under the sun. Ip response to an appeal from the citizens of California, the legis lature of Kentucky is considering a bill to repeal the charter of the Southern Pacific which was granted by that statoiwelve years ago, on the grounds that the road has never been built or operated in the state. An enterprising merchant at South Bend, Wash., shipped in a carload of kerosene from the Penn sylvania oil fields, in opposition to the Standard Oil company, in con sequence of which Standard oil has dropped from $1.30 to 90 cents per can of five gallons, and it will probably go lower. Durrant, with the aid of Sau Francisco lawyers, may yet cheat the gallows. He richly deserves the "death penalty for murder the least of the two crimes he committed. If he is finally clear ed, the ladies of San Francisco should award him a medal for summarily putting an end to his victim after ruining her. Death is sweeter than the life led by the victim of a moral leper. Gold Hill Miner. It is stated on Washington au thority that the Pacific railroad refunding bill cannot possibly pass the senate now, as jt would be "inexpedient for the republican party" so near the eve of a pres idential campaign. Presidential timber is on exhibition in the senate; hence consideration toward the railroad magnates. The sen ate should be taught that the voice of the people is rather to be feared. Ex. Whenever parties living in cer tain portions of Madagascar get into a lawsuit, all parties to the case are put into prison. There are no court records kept, and the prisoners are forgotten and per mitted to end their days in solitary confinement. While possessing many features of btrbarism, this system not only has the merit of not tending to binkrupt the com mon wealth in the administrate of justice under it, but it permits no guilty person to escape. Med ford Mail. The extra session talk suggests the fact that a number of members of the last legislature are now hold ing other official position t. Under the constitution, if we mistake not a person cannot hold but one office, and unless these members have re signed, they are occupying their present positions in violation of the constitution. This fact may be un important except in the case of Mr. McGinn, who has been ap pointed judge in department No. 4, in this city, and important liti- gation may result in consequence if he has not filed his resignation. There is another important point in his case. Under the constitu ti in a member of the legislature is disqualified for an office created by tne legislature ot winch be is a member. The office which he holds wits crented at the session of 1893, when Judee McGinn was a mem ber of the senate. These may become serious matters in the .future, and may cause great trouble and expensive litigation.

No mutter though your trunk be shod with half-inch swap iron ana armca wiw solid steel eorsets on the corners, and double locked with a burglar-proof combina tion, the station baggageman wants to rope it all the same, and usually he terrifies all the passengers into letting him have his own way.

The time table of the railroad is not changed In the least, and the sympathetic passengers are obliged to go abroad. The wounded trunks are thrown into the ambulance baggage car and whirled away to the next slaughter house farther up the road. And the dear, sweet dude, and the starchy old deacon, and the grand and impressive member of the legislature are all alike powerless in the hands of the fiend of the check room. Tyre and Sidon have passed away, and so will our trunks. The Goths and Vandals swarmed down upon Borne and it fell. Verily, so do the Goths and Vandals of the modern railroad prey on our baggage and it is all broken up. BORN A FIGHTER. A French Ueldler Who Beveled In Seenee of Death. Many men have made good soldiers and brave commanders who, neverthe less, had no relish for fighting. Gen. Oudinot. so famous in the wars of Napoleon, was a warrior of another type, says Youth's Companion, fie seemed, at all events, to love war for its own sake. His fiery temper and his ideal of a soldier are well exemplified in two brief anecdotes gathered from his biography, 'recently published. In July, 1805, when Oudinot was thirty-eight years old, the emperor re viewed the grenadiers at their camp at Boulogne. The customary maneuvers were performed, and at the end Gen. Oudinot in command of the grena diersstarted to march at the head of the line before Napoleon. He put the spurs to his horse, and the steed balked. The struggle was brief, for the exasperated general drew his sword and gave the horse such a stab in the neck that in another moment the horse lay stretched upon the sand. That night the commander of the grenadiers dined with the emperor, and in the course of the meal Napoleon said; "la that the way you treat your horses?" "Sire," answered Oudinot, "when any one knows not how to obey, that is my method." The second anecdote is even more grim. Some one spoke to Oudinot about the deep affection which a gen eral must cherish for his devoted troops. "Love them!" he exclaimed, "do I love tbeml Ah! I think 1 do! I have had them all killed!" There spoke the born fighter, who shirked no danger himself, and ac counted it the most enviable lot of a sol dier to die on the field. THE FIRST DRUMMER. English Qnakere Beem to Have Keen the Progenitor of the Race, The rapid development of the com mercial traveler system specifically be longs to our own days, but as to the origin there is some difference of opin ion. One authority lays it down that the bagman of to-day the "drummer," in American phraseology is the im mediate descendant of the old chap man, or peddler, or hawker. As these personages were known even in the time of Chaucer in this case the mod ern commercial can boast a very re spectable ancestry. Another antiquarian, however, in the Bookseller has another theory to pro pose. For this he brings the poet Southey as a witness. It is that the commercial travelers of to-day really date back to the Quakers of one hun dred or one hundred and lifty years since. These persons, it is well known, were forced to wander throughout the country by persecution and ill treat ment. They were then, as they are to day, mostly good, honest men of busi ness, and with the true commercial in stinct they seem to have made a virtue of necessity, and during their wander ings to have made acquaintances as fur as possible with the couutry trades men, to whom they often sold goods, watches, "camblets," and other ar ticles. They seemed to have pushed their trade so vigorously that thoy ob tained heavy orders, so much so that "the tradesmen in London stood idle," as one of the Quakers said, "while we tilled our coffers." One Thomas Greene, a Quaker preacher and only a laboring man, uied worth some thousands of nomuk mad'o In this fashion. The speculation is both Ml-krai and iatsrastlnir, CITATION.
