The county democracy met nt tlio court . house in The : DuIIcm Tuesday moriiinfr, for the purpose of nominating .11 county ticket. The convention con sisted of 88 delegates, most of whom were present, the proxies belnf- remark -:ably few. The convention ffns railed to order by E. Scbutz, chairman of the .county central committee, who, in a dew ( well chosen words, gave an ac count of his management, stating iamong other things that he had man-: .aped two campaigns with only $200 ex- pense. He then declared nominations -for temporary chairman in order, and J. B. Condon was chosen unanimously, .Tohn L. Hollingshead was ipade tem porary secretary and D. L. On tea as sistant.. " Committees were then ap pointed, as follows; On credentials, Adams, Seufert, Glenn, Dufur, Maier .and Klinger. On districting the coun ty for the purpose of apportioning dele gates to the state poh en tion, pitman, McCIure, Parker, I'illoon and Vanbib iber. On resolutions, Sclmtz, Mcln iTiery, Gibons, Pratherand Wagonblast. A recess was taken until 1 o'cloffk p. m., :at which time the committees reported, their reports were adopted, the tempo rary officers were made permanent and , the convention proceeded to nominate n ticket. E. .Martin, the present dep uty, was nominated by acclamation for county clerk. ' For sheriff, J. H. Pairman, the pres ent deputy; and Li. E. Morse of Ifood River were placed in nomination. On motion, tellers , were appointed by the .chair, M. V. Harrison and Een Wilson 'being named. This was the office ;,ver which the warmest .contest oc curred and was remarkably -close, Phir man receiving 42 and Morse 40 votes. . Mr. Phirman accepted his defeat phil- osophically, and will no doubt, use his best energies to elect his 'successful op ponent. Following this nomitiHtion .came that of treasurer, R. E. Williams 'defeating Orion Kinersly by a vote of 48 to 40. Had Mr. Kinersly 's name Vbeen brought out sooner, the result might have been different, for he has many warm friends. For commission er, a small contest was inaugurated, the nominees being. F. M. Jackson of Hood River, Mr. Winefleld of Eight Mile, and.McGill of Oak Grove. Four "ballots were required to settlo it, and -though Mr. Wingfield was finally nom inated, the fact was due to a question of geography, Hood River already hav ing the sheriff. H. Pitman and W. T.

" Published .by request rf the Joint Committee on Direct Legislation, SV. 8. U'Ren, Secre tary, Mllwaukle, Oregon. ' , An idea of the business tiiat can be done under this system may be formed from the report of the proceedings of a New England town meeting. Rock land,' Maam-buoe'ts, has 6200 inhab itants, 1078 dwellings, 800 of which are occupied by owners. There are 1891 votew andit taxes 5787 acres of land. Gn March 2, 185)1,' 810 voters of the town met for the annual meeting. A not ice naming I lie business to be trans acted had been posted seven days pre vious and published in both the news papers. They elected a (own clerk and treasurer, three supervisors, three school directors, a water commissioner, a board of health with three members, two library trustees, three auditors and seven constables. There was an ap propriation bill of. twenty different items, to be voted on separately and twenty-eight bills proposing single ap propriations. Some of Ihose items were placed in the notice of meeting by the town council of its own will a practical application of the referendum and others at the request of the cit izens, which is the working foitn of the initiative. Besides electing twenty-five officers and a chairman, that meeting appropriated nearly $50,000, rejected propositions to appropriate - several thousand more, voted on sixty-nine different questions, the majority of which were debated, and adjourned be fore bed time. The extra expense necessary to make laws in this' manner would be more than offset by the saving in other lines, regardless of the many useless appro priations ttiat would be cut off. For instance, the cost of issuing a pamphlet stating the reasons for and against all the laws passed ly Oregon's last legis lature and delivering a copy to each voter in the state., would be a little less than $17,000. Extnt wages to clerks and judges of election might make a total of 120,000, which is nearly 537,000 less than the last legislature paid for clerk hire. Party lines are largely wiped out, as is the case in Switzerland to-day. The management of our school business is a practical example of the advantages of home rule by the initiative and ref erendum. Not, one school director in a thousand is elected or rejected because he is a republican, democrat or prohi bitionest. The people of the district examine the estimates for the year and vote the tax levy.- A complaint of ex travagance or dishonesty iu school matters is seldom or never heard. We need the initiative and referen dum in order that the people of each city and county may decide for itself on the time of residence, character and education which shall entitle a man or a woman to the rights and privileges of a citizen of a county or city. We must have it to simplify the laws, to educate our voters, to destroy and prevent class legislation, to reform our courts, to cor rect and prevent the thousands. of mis takes and steals of our hired men in the legislatures, city councils and county courts, and lastly so that we can easily change our laws as conditions and pro ductions change. , " , . " Oregon can have the system this year if the producers will stand together and defeat all candidates for the legis lature who are not in favor of law making by the people. Earnest work by those who believe the' majority should rule, in fact, as well as theory, will give us the initiative and referen dum in a few months. . The orders represented by this com mittee have circulated 1200 copies of J. W. Sullivan's book entitled "DireU Legislation," which was largely instru mental in ' starting the referendum movement in this country, and 50,000 pamphlets on the subject. There is not a post office in the state but has re ceived a number of these pamphlets. More literature can be had by writing to our secretary. In closing these letters, we prophesy that from the time the initiative and referendum becomes a law in Oregon, the constructive intelligence which has made the multitude of machines that should lighten the burden of man's labor will -also be able to make such laws that the m.arket for the products of labor will never be glutted so long as any person has less of the comforts of lite man tie is willing or able to pay tor by labor such laws that the widow and tlie'TaUierlecs need not suffer the pains of hunger and cold. , '" YOUNU GENERAL BOCHAMBEAU Is a dapple gray, 15)4 hands high, weighs 1300 pounds, three-quarters Norman, i years old on May 6th, 1804, is free from all blemish, es and diseases and Is a fine draft horse, gen tle and kind, a good traveler, and Is owned by JOHN SWEENY, OF HOOD RIVER, OR, Rochambcau, will make the season, at Mr Sweeny's place, but will be at Hood River Fridays and Saturdays, Terms; single serv ice $5 cash.

This Is the time of the year when much loss occurs to the farmers In the loss of young tals. A Canadian horse breeder of much ex perience says: Carefully watch your colt for the first ten days, and see that its bowels act properly, as the first ten days are the most critical in a foal's exlstenise. If you can got them over the first ten days they usually require very little attention If the mare is fed Judiciously. The mare should be fed some two or three weeks before she is due to foal and some time ofter soft food, such as boiled oats, bran and linseed that has been boiled for twelve hoursi or longer, so as to loosen the system and pro vide a generous flow of milk. If from some caj-iso the mare Bhould not nhave sufficient milk the best substitute Is cow's milk, one- lourtb water and a tablespoonful of honey to a j pint or milk. Costlvenoss, diarrhoea, and1 lnflamatlon are the principal ailments a young foal Is sub?ect to. The two first careful treatment will overcome; the last is, tu most fatal. - 1 The following are well tried and the best remedies that have come under my notice: Costlveness Rectal Injections of luke-warm water every half hour, or syrup of rhubarb with a few drops linseed oil; dose, tablespoon ful. Nothing acts more powerfully than In jections, and the advantage is they do no harm. ' , . 'S. Diarrhoea should not be stopped suddenly; tablespoonful brandy with teaspoonful of tincture of gentian and two tablepoonfuls lime water In a cupful linseed tea every three hours. Inflamatlon Apply blanket, thickly fold ed and wrung out in very hot water, to bellyf rub the legs well; give teaspoonful laudanum in two ounces of water. Repeat dose in two hours If neccessary. ' '.

Golden Days. - - A Cliincrio Legend. . - "Very many years ago," said a Chinese fortune teller, "there was a redheaded Chinaman in China. . He lived there so long ago that no one now tiving had ever seen him. Chew Fnt was his name, and he was tall and fair of complexion. From some cause not pleasing in the eyes of one of the numerous gods, Chew Fut was known of all over north China, where he lived and grew to man hood. ' "One day it was disclosed to a few of the faithful that this particular Chinese with the red hair must die, but it was not explained by the deity why. It is not known to this day why-the order was disobeyed, for no steps were taken to end the life of Chew Fut, and so a fearful vengeance was wreaked on the people. A ter rible earthquake occurred, and the waters of the sea overflowed the land, engulfing thousands of inhabitants, who were carried out to sea by the receding waters and drowned. ; "The red haired Chinese was lout at the same time, and it is believed was transported direct to the infernal regions, where he must always suffer fearful torture."

There is., a common agreement in the inviolability of mutual engage ments, but there seems to be a peat liar breach of honor when two peoplo have agreed to die together in one failing to keep his appointment. Thip not infrequently -happens, and it has been remarked, as in the case of Mrs. Brundage and Mr. Clute, that it is the man who manages to keep his footing in this world. The question has arisen if on the man's part this is prompted in the spirit in which a man tells a woman he is going to the lodge, or to a neighboring town, or whether his failure to meet her or ac company her is due to lack of cour age. This seems not only the most plausible but the moi.t creditable answer. ' It is not human to run to embrace death, but circumstances may make it a familiar presence. Every wom an who has filled her allotted place in life has had at times to look death deliberately in the face. Familiarity with ;. any situation divests it of its terrors. This is the reason why wom en meet death' with more composure than do men. This by no means ex cuses, men from fulfilling such en gagements as that of Mrs. Brundage and Mr. Clute, in which the honor is especially involved, but it explains the defection of Mr, Clute and men of his kind. Exchange. A Conflict of Authority. The late Lord Chief Justice Cock burn was an inveterate enemy to drafts, and on theppening day of the Surrey assize several j'ears ago gave orders that all the windows should be closed. Upon . arriving at the court the following morning he was surprised to find that this injunction had been neglected, and upon in quiring was informed that the high sheriff was the culprit. Addressing Mr. Evelyn, the . high sheriff, he in quired tha reason. "As the high sheriff, your lordship," replied Mr, Evelyn, "I Consider it to be my duty to superintend the ventilation of this court, and I have therefore directed that the windows shall not be closed. " "As lord chief justice I consider it to be my duty, sir," thundered Cock burn, "to fine you 500 for disobedi ence." And the money was paid too. San Francisco Argonaut. - .' ' ' ' . TKAT.KK.
