Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - and - Proprietor Mr. Garland is making a tlior ough canvass. He has a large audience wherever he speaks. Hie canvass is making him many votes. The indications are that he will be elected by a lurge vote. His ad dresses are plain, polite and con vincing. He deals in no abuse, but strikes at the root of the evil of county affairs extravagance in office. The people are fast coming to the conclusion that he is a safe, conservative and able man, who will manage the county's business in an economical manner, free from prejudice or favoritism. A vote for Garland is a vote for strict economy and low taxes. The Oregon state board of horti culture have conceived the idea of placing a line of horticultural in struction in the public schools, and have resolved, "That it is the judgment of this board that the State Board of Public Instruction should take measures to introduce into the public schools of this state a rudimentary line of instruction in horticulture, as the essential elements of our education to fit men and women for intelligent labor on the farm and in the orchard." The civil service rules have been extended to include nearly 30,0CO additional government employes, and raising the number of classified government positions from 55,000 to 85,000 in fact, civil service rules have now been extended to cover nearly every appointive position under the national government, excepting such as are subject to nomination by the president and confirmation by the senate and a few secretaries and confidential clerks. The Brownsville Times.Blakely's home paper, says: Who ever saw Henry Blakely drunk? No man on earth. Why then, do men resort -to such low, contemptible things as to say, "If Henry Blake ly should be elected and keep sober it would be more than he has done before." Such slanderous state ments can never accomplish any good. Henry is an honest, sober, conscientious man. Mr. Watson, the democratic nominee for representative, is developing great' strength. The people are realizing that he is a man of ability and integrity. All parties are free to acknowledge that he is able, honest and indus trious. He is the man this county needs at Salem. Vote for Watson and rest assured that he will serve the best interests of the people. Vote for Mark Peery, ofScio, for county recorder. Mr. Peery is a young man of more than ordinary abilitv and is notedfor his honesty and,integrity and is spoken well of by everybody that knows him. tie io n fine nenman and thorouehlv understands bookkeeping andwould make ,a tine recorder, vote lor Peery and you will make no mis take. When you vote for Kob't M Miller for assessor, you vote for a young man who is deserving of the office. He has cared for and looked after a blind father since being a very small boy; besides he is a young man of more than ordinary ability and is every way well qualified to discharge the duties of the office. He is a native son of Linn, give him your vote. People who think the printing office is a bud place for morals will please read the following: "A printing office is considered by gome folks a tough place, and the newspaper worker a mighty bad man.1 Statistics, however, do not bear out that idea. Of 3,890 con victs in the penitentiary of Texas, there is pot a printer or newspaper man, while there are ministers, doctors, bankers, barbers, photo graphers, barkeepers', cooks and members of professions and call ingii til t'rlnktr tl I bd bitiu because the nature of his business teaches him to detest shams, and he scorns the hypocrite, says an exchange. Not much hope can be enter tained for the man who will not read both sides of any question Some persons make up their minds beforehand, and then only read or entertain ideas which are in har mony with these preconceived opinions. A man in Kentucky is reported to have lost his mind because he could not pay his debts. If this affliction would come to the men in this section there would hardly be a. Siine person in it. Pendleton East Oregonian. The democratic ticket is gaining votes every day. It would not surprise those who are posted if the democrats would make a clean sweep, as the republicans did two years ago. There is no more interesting senatorial contest than that in Lane county, between E. R. Skip- worth, democrat; Baker, populist; and Driver, republican. The latest information from various parts of the county insures Mr. Garland's election to the judge ship. Vote for Bob Miller for assessor.

A very high ly interesting programme consisting recitations, songs, duetts, and music on the violins and organ was carried out, after, which all repaired to the dining room, there to do themselves justice. All report having a good time. Mr. J. M. Somers, a nominee of the republican party for the legislature, addressed the citizens of our city on last Saturday evening, upon the local and general issues of the day. Mr. Somers unreservedly pledged himself, If elected, to industriously use all honorable means within his power to bring about the following legislation: The re-enactment of the mortgage tax law; to confine all state officers to the amount fixed by the state constitution; to utterly clean out and dispense with all the unnecessary tax-eating commis sions now in vogue, and to decidedly favor all legislation possible for the relief of the taxpayers. On the all absorbing question of money, he de clares himself in favor of the greatest possible use of silver that can be reached without disturbing Its parity with other money; and that the use of silver can be greatly increased without interfering with Its relations as a legal tender and its purchasing powers.

Bow Poilo Are Aitnteteil lo the ! thmul Capital. It would naturally bo supposed that business depression or a financial panic would not be, ion in tno city of Wash' iugton, but this ia not entirely the case, At least two-thirds of the Inhabitants of this city derive thoir living, directly or uioirccuy, irom tno irovcrniiicut, says the Washington Star.

In addition to this, an enormous sum is paid out here directly from the treas ury for pensions.

All tnose incomes drawn bv clt tens of the national capital, and run ning no dauper of being decreased be cause of the hnrd times, would natural ly lead to the supposition that money is never ht in Vuialilnrrton. Boiuu liow about tho only time a rrovernnicnt clerk cwr saves money is in a period of business depression. IIo is afraid to put It m a batik, so he keops it either in the bottom of a trunk or in the in side pocket of bis vest. He buys no new clothes, eats at 'cheap eating houses or rents a smaller house and cuts down his'expenses in everv wav. Thus nearly every class of business is affected to some extent. Oa the other hand, when business beams to boom the government clerk usually spends what monoy he has saved and then Rots rid of his full salary every .month) Then the merchant hastens to put a big aaveruscment in me papers and every body gets the benefit of the revival A JOURNALIST. Om Newspaper Writer Who Wu Born to the Work. The multitudes of young people who are aspiring io do journalists may gain an idea what a "born journalist" really is from the cose of M. Augusts Vao querie, a distinguished "newspaper man" who died recently in Paris. It is stated on irnnd mit.h.ir!fv ta from the tirao he began writing for the press, at tne ago or about twenty, to the time of his death, at seventy-six, Vacquerie had published in the French journals twenty thousand, articles signed with his name. For the irreatcr Dart of thin tImA i,a published at least one signed article every oay. x nese articles were of a high literary quality, and not only in teresting but full of spirit, hopefulness and reformatory enthusiasm. A man of letters one day said to him: "M. Vacauerie. how can vnn it. every day an article full of youth, spirit ami sensor 11 must oe a crushing taskl" "Why, no," answered Vacquerie, with surprise, "it is no task at all. On the contrary, it is necessary for my health. Instead of wearying me, it rests my brain to write an article everyday." Such a man may surely be pro nounced a born Journalist M. Vac auerie had not nnlv onvrt.v iml h4..l.t ncss, but sn important something wuieu many 01 our own journalists sadly lack a serious nnrnruu. nn,i . sense of responsibility. A newspaper mwayB iaut m lis amy u n permits its desire to be "light" to render it flip pant. AN OBSERVING MIND. A lad falling Toward III! Donth OoMrlkM nil RMolloctlofii. The other day a boy employed in a factory fell four stories down the shaft of a freight elevator. By some inter position of fate or Providence, gays the Chicago Record, he landed on bis feet after turning over a couple of times, and crawled out of the bottom door with a silly and mortified look on his face. The men who had seen him fall rushed to the bottom of the shaft, ex pecting to find him lying there, crushed and lifeless. "Are you hurt?" they asked,, taking hold of him. "N-n-no, I'm all right" . "Did you light on your feet? "I don't know. Leave me alone. I'm all right." In a few minutes he calmed down, and one of the men asked him: "What did you think of while you were falling?" "All I remember is that the feather eleanin' nlace on thi nonnA . .-.. hut down." "Is that all?" "I could see as I went by that there wasn't anyone workin' in there. That's every blamed thing I can remember." He stuck to 1t. At an awf ul mement, when his past life should have come to him in a flash, he was taking observa tions of the "feather-cleaning place."
