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. It Is a
matter which Certainly deserves
consideration, Portland Weekly

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
