Roswoll G. Horr, the great, re

He was not n great man in the
true sense of the word, but had
considerable ability as a stump

But these factories are only on

Last week's issue of the Eugene
Register contained a lengthy article
from the San Francisco Call, the
article mentioned being devoted to
"roasting" the Examiner. The
Register's compositor made a hap
py mistake in setting the first line
ot the heading, which rend: "The
Gall Red Hot."
Tammany and the Stn Francisco
Examiner are both censured oy
many papers. It is alleged that
both are skilled in "ways that are
dark, and tricks that are vain."
However, this much can be said
for both Tammany and the Exam
iner they were friends of the la
boring class during the late
presidential campaign.

according to his ideas In time of peace,
tienceives the command over thedift'er
en corps trom another man, with
whom, perii.ipi, h lUVtrs materially In
opinion. The respoaeiliility for "the
state of the army is thus divided and
cannot be fastened upon any one person.
Further, the highest rank hi tlie French
army is that of division generar. There
arc some higher functions, such as tlte
command of an army corps and the
army inspection, but t hese f unctions are
attended to by iho division generals,
who stand in the same raaik with their
inferiors in command. In times of
peace, this causes unpleasant jealousy,
during war time it may lend to conflict
and disorder. V.'lth regard to the com
manders of amy corp;? the matter is not
so bad, as they ore iu touch with troops
and leaders under tlieireoiiunands, Hut
how is a geaicral to command n.u army
if the chiefs of four or five unity corps
and some 20 divisions all hold the snnie
rank as himself ? Will he be obeyed ?
Tho impropriety of this state of
things is well known to the French, but
tiie conditions of the republic exclude
the possibility of suitable reforms. If
any general were given an extra feather
for his hat or an extra star on the collar
of his coat he might use h is new authority
againstthe republic. On theotherhand,
the hundred or so of division generain
hold each other in cheek. Yet, the re
sponsible heads of the army fi'ttr that
serious difficulties will arise in case of
war, and the present minister of war
has drawn up a bill for the mitigat'on
of the evil. He suggests the appoint
ment of a responsible council of war
and the creation of a new rank, that at
"atrmy general." Twenty-five of the
division generals are to be raised to It,
and they must be chosen from the offi
cer who already act as army command
ers and army inspectors.
It is, however, doubtful thateven this
moderate reform will be allowed to pass
the chambers. Already the radicals and
socialists raise a row and declare that
Billot is preparing foracoupd'etat. On
the other hand, the military press points
out that it would be much better to give
the future i inlanders of armies a
higher hierarchic position and to en
able them to exercise some power over
the troops they are to lead in time of
war. But the milittflry authorities un
derstand that, if 25 commanders are
raised to a higher rank the present diffi
culty in the appointment of chiefs is at
least narrowed down. More radical re
forms would be likely to meet with still
greater opposition than the proposition
which Gen. Billot has formulated with
the assistance of his civilian fellow min
isters. Berlin Rundschau.

Very interesting tacts, not generally
known, about the iron mines of Hpnln
were discussed ai a recent meeting ol
the Iron, and steel Institute of tireut
Britain. It is from northern Spain, in
the neighborhood of Bilbao, that tin
greater part of the iron ore imported
for the use of the liritish steel uuihcn
Is obtained. Steel is made by the bash
process from iron ore containing phos
phorus; but for the best, qualities ol
steel, which is made by the open hearth
process, a purer ore must be used, and
it is that which England imports from
Spain, "Nature seems l.o have designated
the hilU of northern Spain especially
for the use of the steel nickers," Until
recently practically no effort has been
made to manufacture steel In Spain,
and most of the ore has been exported
to England. The iron mines of north
ern Spain are described as being rather
quarries tiian initios in the ordinary
sense of the word, "The mountains
themselves ore just heaps of iron ore
covered naturally with but a thin layer
of earth. This is removed, and it ouly
remains to break up the ore and load it
into fitting receptacles, w hen it is con
veyed down to the water's edge by its
own gravity." Youth's Companion.

Senators Dubois, Pettigrew, Man
tle, Squire and Teller, silver repub
licans, declined to participate in
the republican senatorial caucus.
They were invited to do so but
they did not propose to compromise
themselves by so doing. Our Sen

he once stood with these senators

, From a report of the county
clerk of Clatsop county, it is fig
ured out that each vote in that
county was cast at cost of BO cents.
This would make elections come
pretty high in the backwoods
counties; and yet it is an open
question whether those held in this
county do not run those figures a
close race. One thing is sure,
every ballot cast in Multnomah
county costs in the neighborhood
of 20 cents for printing ilone. Good
price this, but they must be print

The register, Col. R. A. Miller,
has been receiving an unusually
large number of letters from per
sons living throughout the east
and south, inquiring about public
lands and the state in general.
Heretofore such letters were only
received from people living in the
middle west, but.it is thought that
these letters are the result of ad
vertising by the board of trade and
the immigration board. The land

ADVICE TO MEN.
Don't Wear long Hair and an Air o
DUhabllle.
In seeking to win the affection and
friendship of women, deur boys, you.
will find dress an important thing tube
considered, says a woman writer.
Although I will not go as far as to say
that a woman's heart has ever been
broken by a badly-Umslied hat, I have
known a woman to look at a bulging
shirt bosom and decide that even if she
could ever consent to pillow her head
upon such an uueomfortablc-lookiiig
spot the loud vivacity of the waistcoat
beneath would make rest there quite
impossible. I am not going to tell you
what to wear. That is the work of
mightier intellects than mine.' And
there are the young lady male imjier
sonators of (he variety stage to copy.
Thee represent the woman's ideal of
man's clothing. I may, however, prove
myself usef ul in telling you what not to
wear. To bejrin with, there Is one rule
you should have written on your mir
rors. It is this:
Do not dress like a genius, even if you
are one.
The average woman has a strong
aversion to go out with a gentleman
who because laurel wreaths have gone
out of fashion substitutes for them
long hair, short trousers, decollete
shirts and a generally carefully ar
ranged dishabille.
The average woman is a silly little
thing, you know, and she would rather
that you looked commonplace and well
groomed than that every newsboy
should be able to tell that she is walking
with ar. intellectual giant.
As for the woman above the average
wen, she knows that you'ro not n
genius, anyhow. You can't fool her
(llumnn Coat.
An English authority informs us that
an audience of 3,0110 people, listening for
two hours to a concert, are not only cul
tivating and indulging their musical
taste, but are engaged in the somewhat
prosaic occupation of producing no less
than 100 weight of coal and 17 pollom of
water from the impurities and moist me
of their own brenth. mid that if they
were all performingthemselves, instead
of listening, this quantity would be
nearly doubled. It is far more whole
some to drink the undiluted water of the
Thames at Blackwall tlinn to breathe
the air of a crowded and unventilnted I
room, and how clennly people can bej
content to do so is only explicable on
the principle that what the eye doesj
not see "the hearttdoes not grieve over.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There .is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube get inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destmy
ed forever: nine cases out often are caused
by catarrh, whjcli is nothing but an inflam
ed condition oi the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
