SALEM LETTER.
Hurrah! The war of votes is at
an end, and a solictor elected in
the person of J. H. Llitc jell, who,
his svpportors c'.niT, is a friEfu to
tho farraor, mechanic, stociman.
lumberrian, fisherman, trapper,
hunter, vroolgrower, ixilror.d, mer
chant, trae'esman, every improve
ment, development and measure
pertaining to the interests of Or
egon. What more can the people
ask?
It was claimed by some that it
was very necessary to call an ex.
tra session in" order to pass and
amend some very important bills
and the election of a sanatoFtlid
not appear of so much importance
to those candidates who felt that it
was doubtful in their cases, while
the more hopeful felt that it was
quite the thing and called the ex
tra session. What the result is we
all know. There is all
manlier of
speculation as to
how it was
brought about It is alleged by
some that money was used. Pap
pose that is because money is the
motive power that rtiles the world;
bjthers that the majority of the
constituents deinafifed it of the
representatives, and lo! there are
a great number who assert that it
is all the result of the Oregonian
belching forth the tirade, which
people thought it w'as above.
As to the 17 democrats who vot
ed for Mitchell, their action'com
mendediy the honest-minded and
consistent part of the community,
and by the majority of the demo
crats, while it is true that there are
a few supposed, orjather they call
themselves simon-pure J effersouian
democrats who were acting as
guardians over the 38 democrats
who could not elect their man sim
ply because they were in the mi
nority; and another of a most giant
( ?) mind, who acte4 in that capac
ity lost dwssion, lu ould not be
in attendance this fear of call
ing down upon his head the cen
sure of the president and cabinet,
as an offensive partisan, is all we
have heard from so far. The
masses consider these the minority.
Eh? don't you? At all events J.
H. Mitchell is U. 8. senator from
Oregon, if he did receive some
good, honest democratic votes.
"There is a tide in the affairs of
men which, taken at the flood,
leads on to fortune." The flood
tide of Mitchell's success as a can
didate was certainly accelerated by
the course of his enemies, and try
ing to thrust upon the majority a
minority and unpopular candidate.
By the time this reaches Hepp-
tai&SHhe extra session will be a
thing of the past Its successes
and failures, bills passed and
amended, and bills that failed to
pass, will all gie food for newspa
pers and community gossip at
large, and 91 firesides at least will
be entertained by the recital of
measures fought hills pushed
through, 4? amendments mack,
friends gained, enemies outwitted,,
and a decided success on their
part at least Zarilda.
SERVIAN SQUABBLE.
The curious part of this Servian
war business is that the Servians
aud the Bulgrurins are not enemies
at all, but allie?, both seeking the
same object--emancipation from
Turkey. It is jealousy of each
otlier and rivalry for the predom
inance in the new Slav State
which is about tolje created whch
sets them by the ears. The chances
are that the powers will look on
until after a battle has determined
which, in the '.ng of the ring, "is
the best man." Theu they will in
terfere dud put a stop to the fight
ing. If Servia wins, Austria will
be the chief godfather of the new
state; if Bulgaria wins, Russia
will take it under its protection.
Turkey must watch the quarrel
betweCa its late provinces with
amusement The Sultan must be
praying to Allah that both will get
a thrashing. If they could exter
minate each other it would save
him some trouble. But in the
present inflamed condition of mind
of the people of European Turkey,
the proximity of war is dangerous
even to non-combatants. P
A FOND FATHER
Wrote as follows tj his dudisl!
son at school: If it vhsn't for them
J cute little camel's-haa .whiskers of
yours I would not believe that you
had grown up to be a largn, ex
pensi-e boy, grown-up with
thoughts. Some of the thoughts
you express in your letters are fax
beyond your years. Do you think
them yourself, or is there some boy
in the school that tiiinks all the
thouebts for the rest;1
Some cf your letttK are so deep
that your mother u J ean hardly
grapple wun Tnem. '
especially was so S?i or. xoreign
stuff that you had out of a bill
of fare, that we wil have to wait
till you come home jbefore we can
take it in. I can tal a little Chip
pewa, but that is t.!l the foreign
language I am familiar with.
When I was young'Tte had to get
our foreign langunf es the best we
could, so I studied Chippewa with
yt a master. A Chippewa chief
took me into his c&ap and kept me
there for some time, while I ac
quired his lgu" He became
so mucltached Ki me that I had
great difficulty in coming away.
I wish you wtnd write in the
United States dialect as much as
possible, and not try to parlize
your parents with imported ex
pressions that come too hi"h for
poor people.
Remember thil? you are the only
boy we've got aiid we areonly go
ing through the motions of living
here for your mke. For us the
day is wearing out, and it is now
way long into the shank of the
evening. All whjisk or you is 10
improve on the old people. You
can see where I fooled myseify and
you can do better. Read, and
write, and sifer, and polo, and get
nolledge try Jjot ttfbe ashamed
of your unoiL; jf)d parents.
When " you" goT that checkered
little sawed-ofi coat on, and that
pair of knee panties, and that
poker-dot necktie, and the sassy
little boys holler "rats" when you
pass by, and your heart is bowed
down, remember that, no matter
how foolish you may look, your
parents will never sour on you.
Jim Neville digs some pretty
deep wells, but the deepest well in
the world is located at Homewood,
Pa. It is owned by George West
inghouse, Jr. The average depth
of the homewood wells is about
1850 feet In tffe well now drill
ing everything found of the nature
of gas or water at the depth of
2000 feet was cased off as unim
portant, and the drill at present is
said to be a little over G000 feet
below the surfufce, which would
make it by all odds the deepest
well in the world. There are in
Washington county stmie wells
drilled to a depth of 4000 feet, and
the only others so far as known ap
proaching the depth reached by
Mr. Westinghouse is an artesian
well in France, in which a depth of
5000 feet was reached.
When A. T. Stewart conceived
the idea of setting up a coat-of-arins,
he went to W. R. Travers for
advice. Mr. Travpra suggested nn
employer rampantNchasiug a lazy
tnicninnu w ttrti - -'yard-stick, and
Mr. Stewart did not speak to him
for a month. This anecdote is
probably about as authentic as the
other, which states lhat Mr. Sewart,
being extremely loquacious at a
state banquet at Delmouico's, Mr.
Travers silenced him by calling the
length of the table, "Cash!"
Some men think they can trans
late German. Here is a specimen
of their work: A blind-become
hen, who to the scrutchiug accus
tomed was, after that she blind be
came ceased not to scratch. Of
'what to the poor fool availed it?
Another seeing hen, who her ten
der feet wished to spare, this ob
serving, Blded not from her side;
ana as orten as tne Wind-become
hen a grain upscratohed had, ate it
the seeing one away.
The postofSce depnrtment at
Washington has been advised that
upon completion of the Canadian
Pacific road, all trans-Atlantic
mails from England will be for
warded over that road, and that a
new British line of steamers will
be established at the western ter
minus of the Canadian Pacific for
Australia.
HERDING HOVSEPLANTS.
Bill Nye makes old John Adams
say;
It is with difficulty I write this
in my diary, for this morning Abi
gail thought best for me to carry
the oleander down into the cellar,
as the nights have been growing
colder of late.
I do not know what we would do
if it were not for our houseplauts.
Every fall I shall carry thorn
cheerfully down cellar, and in the
spring I will bring up the pots for
Mrs. Adams to we;D softly into.
Rltiny a iiirlit, at the special "in
stance and request of nty wife, I !
have risen, clothed in one simple,
clinging garment, to go and see if
the speckled, double, and twisted
Rise-up-William-Riley geranium
was feeling all right
I have driven one toe back into
my foot almost out of sight by
prowling around iu the night and
trying to kick rocking-chairs out of
my way as I groped around to
find a newspaper that I might
spread over the three-cornered,
sacied, picnic cactus from farther
India. Andfebwhat has the threcg
cornerned, sacred, picuic cactus
from farther India ever tloueQforJ
us that we should try to make its
life a happy ono?
Last summer Abigail brought
home a slip of English ivy. I do
Lnot like things that are English
very much, but I tolerated this
little sickly tiling because it seemed
to please Abigail. I asked her
what were the salient features of
the ivy. What did the English ivy
do? What might be its specialty?
Mrs. Adams said that it made a
specialty of climbing. It was a
climber from away back. "All
right," I then to her did straight
way say: let her climb.
It was a good early climber. It
climbed hiclf i than Jack's bean
stalk. It clfiibod the golden stair.
Most of our plants are actively en
gaged in descending cellar-stairs,
or in ascending the golden stair
most all the'time.
I descended the cellar-stairs with
the oleander this morning, though
the oleander got there a little more
previously than I did. Parties de
siring a good, second-hand oleander
tub, with castors on it, will do well
to give us a call before going else
where. Purchasers desiring a good
set of second-hand ear-muffs for
tulips will find something to their
advantage by addressing the sub-
scriuer. q
A e also have two very highly
ornamental green do-goods for ivy
vines to ramble over. We could
be induced to sell these do-goods
at a sacrifice, in order to make
room for our large stock of new
and attractive do-good3. These
9
articles are as good as ever. We
bought them during the panic last
fall for our vines to climb over, but
as our vines died of membranous
croup in November, those do-goods
still remain unaum. l&SS&cond-
nana airt tor plants always on
hand. Ornamental ceranium
stumps af bed-rockjirices. Highest
cash prices paid for slips of black
and-tan roiinge plants, we are
headquarters for the century-plant
that draws a. salary for vo years
and then dies.
1 do not feel muclihke writing
in my diary to-day, but the physl
cian says that my arm will be bet
ter in a day or two, so tWit it will
be more of a pleasure to do busi
ness.
e are still without a servant-
girl, so I do some of the cooking.
I ruateta fire each dav and boil the
tea-kettle. People who have tried
my boiled tea-kettle say it is very
fine. & i
Some of my friends have asked
me to run for the legislature here
next election. Somehow I feelhat
I miglg, Jn public life, rise to dis
tinction some day, and perhaps at
some future tirr figuro prominent
ly in the affairs of a one-horse re
public at a good salary.
As soon as I get the house-plants
down ceftar and get their overshoes
on for the winter, I will more se
riously consider the question of
our political affairs here iu this
new land where we have to tie our
scalps on at night and where everya
summer is an Indian summer. I
