It cost England $80,000,000 to
punish the king of Abyssinia for
imprisoning eight Englishmen who
viBited Abyssinia regardless of the
express orders of the British gov
ernment. In one day Mr. Pingree issued
two proclamations, one as govenor
of Michigan and one as Mayor of
Detroit. He holds both offices.
There are no potato bugs on Mr.
Fingree. Ex.
The infant sugar trust, which
had a profit of thirty million of
dollars last year under the present
law, is one of the great industries
which is to be further protected
under the proposed tarirl so ttiut
it may be able to douule that
amount each year hereafter.
Gov. Btuld, of California, has
signed the bill appropriating $35,
000 to the state printing office. It
will be remembered that he vetoed
a tinner bill appropriating twice
that amount for the same purpose.
Many other states should have
their appropriations for state
printing reduced in like propor
turn.
President McKinley has turned
the federal offices over tn the dele-
gntinnsin congress and the senators
from the various states, and the
office seeker who has not their
favor need not apply. If there are
snv differences among the delega
tion, he gives them notice that
they must settle them among
themselves before they come tn
him.
This from the Portland Telegram
is not bad: "One of Oregon's rail
road commissioners rises to re-
murk that he proposes to pursue
his official task whether he is paid
for it or not. As the chief feature
of his official task has heretofore
consisted of drawing his salary, it
is difficult to see how he-can pur
sue it when he has no Blary to
draw."
When Preideut McKinley was
a soldier he promised a colored
mm named James T. Cheney, in a
joking way, to give him an office
should he ever become president.
The president has notified Cheney
that the position of doorkeejier of
the Wh te House, worth $1,000
salary and (2,000 in tips will be
given him. And Cheney's smile is
so broadly generous it is plainly
visible on the back of his neck.
Never in the history of the coun
try have so many trusts been
formed and combinations of capital
been made as since the election of
McKinley. The prospective tariff
law will he framed at their direc
tion, and is expected to give them
the desired opportunity to plunder
the people. They run little risk of
success in the lower house of con
gress, and expect to influence
enough senators to win. Jackson
ville Times.
Tne Portland Welcome says:
"The sentiment among business
men is almost unanimously in
favor of the retention in office of
Collector of Customs T. J. Black.
He has given general satisfaction
in the administration of the affairs
-of his office, and it would be con
sidered very proper should Presi
dent McKinley allow him to re
main where he is. Mr. Black is a
sound money Democrat and has
always upheld the gold standard.
Consequently he is in full sympathy
with the present administration."
Evidently Mayor Pennoyer sees
by the points of the straws whi:h
way the wind is blowing politically
in Oregon, and is shaping himself
to get back in touch with the
democratic partv. A few days ago
he published a letter in the T)re-
gonian raking the populist mem
bers of the legislature for holding
out against organization, and now
he has appointed the old demo
cratic war horse John Myers, chirf
of police. Veil there are muny
democrats in the state who will
welcome the ex-governor back into
b fuld. Mountaineer.
President McKinley is the
youngest member of his official
family, being 53 years old. John
Sherman, secretary of Btate, is 74;
Lyman J. Ghge, secretary of the
treasury, is M ; Russell A. Alger,
secretary of war, is CI; John D.
Long, secretary of the navy, is
59; Joseph McKenna, attorney
general, is 54; James A. Gary, post
master general, is 03; Cornelius
N. Bliss, secretary of the interior,
is 60; James Wilson, secretary of
igi iculture, is 02.
The fact that "Fortune is a fickle
goddess," was never more aptly
illustrated than in the career of
ex-Senator H. A. Tabor, of Colora
do, says the Chicago Times-Herald.
A farmer, a et-nemnson, a small
grocery-keeper, a great mine-owner,
a multi-millionaire and proprietor
of great blocks of buildings in
Denver, the possessur and builder
of one of the finest opera houses in
the world, lieutenant-govenor of
Colorado, United States Benator,
and now a poor man once more,
delving in the dirt for another
fortune among the golden hills of
Cripple Creek this, in a paragraph,
is the history of a man who lias
received more flattery and more
criticism, more favors and flaunts
of fortune than fall to the lot of
most men. The other day a brief
telegram from Denver was publish
ed to the eS'ect that the last piece
of property owned by ex-Senator
Tabor had been sold under the
hammer for 1800,000, thus closing
one of the pages in a strange event
ful history. Unfortunate specula-,
tions in real estate and mines
caused his financial downfall.
Tabor was famous at one time as
the owner of nightshirts that cost
$1000 apiece.

A MONKEY ROARING DRUNK.
Be HmI the BeyulHtlon Pun, Inoludtng1 Ar
rest ami ft Sirtilteit livid.
Two policemen conducting a drnnken
monkey to jeil was one of the unusual
sights seen Sunday, The monkey is a
member of Dod Backer's circus, but bus
been occupying winter quarton as a
aide attraction at Elatou'a saloon on
East Water street, and was left chained
daring the temporary absence of the
proprietor. He managed. However, to
free himself and walked over behind
the liar. He glanced in the big looking
Klasa back of the row of colored bot
tles, and seeing another fellow of his
own size picked up a decanter and let
it go with his right, and Mr. Elston's
!0U glass was a wreok. His opponent
having been got rid of, the monkey
proceeded to test the various liquid re
freshments on hand. He turned on the
beer and took a long, deep draft. Then
he sampled the whisky, gin, wine and
various kinds of bitters. Jit wusn't long
until he was roaring drank. Then he
tackled the cigar case and demolished
that, throwing the cigars about the
room In handiula.
The monkey's screams and the noise
of shattered glass attracted a crowd
about the front of the saloon, tint the
door was locked, and there was no way
to get in. Finally two policemen cuuie
and boosted a bold yonng fellow through
the transom. After a lively tussle be
managed to get a rope around the drunk
en monkey, and bo was hoisted through
the window and escorted by the two po
licemen, one on each side, to jail, and
lodged in a cell. The next morning the
prisoner was very sick and held his bead
between his paws. Although it was bis
Becond ofiense, the recorder suspended
sentence, and he was led back to the
saloon and chained np. The next time
he gets drunk the owner will send him
to the Eeeley cure at Binghamtou. El

THE REFORMER'S ROCKY ROAD.
A Temperwee Agitator In Austria Bute
Fight tho Liquor Men and Governor.
American temperance agitators wonld
not enjoy themselves in Austria. A na
tive of a small village after a long cat
aleptic trance a year ago declared that
he had been to heaven and had been
commissioned by the Almighty to re
turn and teach the peasants the wicked
ness of drinking spirits. Boon tho en
tire village took an oath of total absti
nence. The district governor commit
ted the man to the madhouse, where
the doctors kept him for six months and
then declared him sane. He resumed
his agitation, and in a short time seven
villages bad taken vows of abstinence.
The result was that a number ot liq
uor dealers to whom the government
had granted licenses refused to keep
their contracts. The district judge
gave orders that the dangerous agitator
be arrested if caught preaching absti
nence. The man has not left his bouse
for weeks. Deputations come to him
from far and wide to bear his words
and to repeat them when they return
home. The authorities are consoling
the dealers by declaring that the peas
ants must soon drink again. Vienna

Heirs Apparent and Matrimony.
There are few ladies whom an heir
apparent can marry. At present the
heirs to the thrones of Austria, Russia
and Italy, not to speak of the hoir to
the throne of Belgium, the king of Ber
via, end the crown prince of Montene
gro, arc nil of a marriageable age, tint
have not yet made tbeir choice. With
out a change of creed on the part of a
princess the choice of the Russian crown
prince, ontside the RouiunoS family, is
limited to Princess Marie of Greece and
one of the daughters of the Prince ot
Montenegro. Similarly the young Ser
vian King Alexander has only the Rus
sian and Montenegrin princesses to
choose from. Only 23 Roman Catholic
princesses, born not later than 1K77, are
now open to engagements. Five of
these belong to the royal and ducal
homes of Bavaria, three to Belgium,
three to the Spanish Bourbons, two to
the Bourbons of the two Sicilies, four
to the house of Parma, one to the house
of Orleans and one to the line of Cen
tres, making altogether 1 1 bolonging tc
the Bourbons. San Francisco Argo

A eerie of unpublished letters of the

consul at Genoa, us a wearer of the cross
of Malta given by an agent of the Brit
ish government. The emperor adds:
"This individual, having received a
foreign decoration, is no longer an Amor
"can. I am syry, moreover, tbut you
communicated with the United States
embassy. My police must not recognize
embassies. I am master chez moi, and
when I suspect a man 1 cause him to be
arrested. I would even cause the em
bassador of Austria to be arrested if he
plotted against tho state."
