Uon. Tiluian Ford has been en
do.sed by the Salem republicans
for congress. The contest will be
exciting. It is Hermann against
the field, with the chances in favor
of Hermann.
Ex-President Harrison is said to
be bitterly opposed to McEinley.
It is said that he has virtually said
that the Ohio statesman lacks the
necessary qualifications for the po
sition. Correct you are, brother.

Those of our subscribers who
like to read novels of a good class
will be pleased to know that the
Express lias made arrangements
for an interesting serial to be pub
lished in its columns. It is written
by Bret Harte, the famous novelist
John M'annamaker, was recently
fined $1000 for importing alien
labor. As the Philadelphia papers
refused to publish the item on ac
count of Mr. Wannamaker being a
big advertiser, and as Mr. Wanna
maker doesn't advertise with ua
we send it broadcast to the world.
Ex.
At a recent stabbing affair in
Jackson county, when the marshal
of the town where it occurred at
tempted to arrest the offender,
some of the fellow's friends tried
to prevent the arrest. The leader
was afterwards arrested himself,
but at his trial the deputy prose
cuting attorney placed himself on
a level with the prisoner, by mak
ing a motion that he be discharged,
which was done. Any person who
tries to prevent the arrest of
criminal should be punished to the
full extent of the law.
The democrats of the county are
awakening from their slumbers
and are now effecting a strong or
ganization. Much enthusiasm is
being everywhere manifested. The
unsavory record of the but repub
lican legislature and the extrava
gances of the county officials have
convinced them that the people
demand a change. The republi
cans are now upon the defensive,
with many very weak places to
defend. The democrats have a fair
chance to win, and their success is
probable if the proper efforts are
vigorously made.
Don't crawl. Stand erect at all
times. When you must apologize
for a blunder whatever the sbame
and mortification you are put to,
don't crawl when you make your
apology to the offended person,
Say yon are sorry, and say it in a
manner which carries conviction
of the sincerity of your regret, and
offer whatever amends lie within
the limit of your self-respect; but
don't debase yourself. Don't add
the person's scorn to bis present
indignation. Be dignified even in
your humility and repentance.

A aorner of the veil which screens
tht tamer liie at royalty from the
moa m was raised the other day by
Mr. Ben tool, 11. P., at a meeting ot la
die in support ot the women's suffrage
movement, says the Westminster tia
aetta. Mr. Bentonl laid his idea had
always been that the qneea was .a.
merely ornamental aort of personage,
who sifrnad aneb documents as were
submitted by her ministers, and was
nstrained from doing- any harm by
sonstitntional safeguards. Be had,
however, recently made the acquaint
ance of two lords in waiting, who have
been in attendance on her majesty for
many yean, and the information he'
had obtained from thia source had oom
pletely altered his views as to the in
fluence exercised by the queen in mat
ters of domeatia and foreign policy.
Be had learned that ahe is proficient in
eleven European languages, and that
ahe has during the last four or five
yean aompletely mastered Hindu
tanee, in which ahe converses with
great correctness and fluency with any
of her Indian subject who are pre
sented at court. Her majesty frequent
ly writes to every important sovereign
in Europe, and her influence on the
ride of peace ia said to have been very
beneficial, her knowledge of foreign af
fairs being most intimate and accurate.
At several critical atagea in the rela
tions between European nations the
queen's personal influence has been suc
cessfully exerted to prevent war. It ia
even alleged in court circles that her
majesty would have been able to pre
vent the Franco-Prussian war if
Emperor Louis Kapoleon had not pre
cipitated hostilities on the Rhine be

A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION.

'There are two things that I will
anw do again," said a physician the
otherday. "Commit myself by giving an
opinion in regard to the death of a pa
tient and advancing money to defray
funeral expenses. I swore off on these
two things years ago. When I first
started I waa so tender hearted that
every ume i was asaea by the anxious
trtendsof a patient if I thought death
imminent 1 always responded that the
patient had a very alight chance to get
'.veil. I suppose most physicians err
aiora in giving opinions as to death
vhan any other. One case 1 had h
'ermined me never to prognosticate
ieath again. A member of a prominent
irish family was very sick with fever.
Ilia relatives asked me candidly what I
thought of the ease. Without knowing
the consequences, I told thorn he would
die in twenty-four hours. The family
sent for the priest, had him shaved and
even ordered refreshments for the
wake. To my surprise the patient per
vuted ia getting well, which so ilisap
pcinted his friends that they never for
gave me, and never have sent for me
-tinea, thinking I did not understand
my business.''
