One of the fears that have recently taken possession of Europe is that if the Czar should banish Count Tolstoi, that eccentric genius and William T. Stead might form a partnership and establish a literary bureau. But now that Tolstoi is to remain in Rus sia this fear has vanished. A German paper says the Kaiser's pride is hurt because the bolt from an air-gun hit him. lie is entirely too sensitive. He ought to run for office in this country aud listen to the speeches of the opposing candi date or read the editorials in the op position press. Then he might have cause for feeling that qis pride was hurt. “I saw a most singular sight in this town yesterday," writes a sol dier boy from Vigau, Luzon Island “I saw 1,000 Filipinos take the oath of allegiance to the United States. And it is an oath that will stick, for it was taken before the army officers and a priest in the church, and the Filipino is faithful to anything about his religion. The Filipinos came to town early in the morning and lined up in the church, which will hold 5,000 people. They marched to the altar and there placed one hand on the bible and also kissed the crucifix when the oath was taken. This re bellion is busted beyond any doubt, and the body of the Philippine peo ple are mighty glad of it." Apparently it is the president's in tention to keep the new army down to about 65,000 men. This number would be sufficient for all the coun try’s immediate needs in the situa tion which presents itself at this mo ment. A larger army will be re quired for the United States proper than it has hail since the reorgani zation soon after the close of the civil war. The defenses on the coast have never been fully manned, but it is expected that this lack will now be supplied. This will necessitate an increase in the artillery arm to near the maximum figure provided in the law recently passed, but theinfautry and the cavalry are likely to get fewer men than were authorized in the act. ■ - — -• • ♦---- According to Chairman Cannon, of the congressional appropriations committee, the amount of expendi tures during the next fiscal year will be under $700,000,600, and this in cludes $ 123,782,688 for the postal de partment and $53,000,000 for the sinking fund. Calling it, with these two items included, a round $700,- 000,000, and putting our population next year at 78,000,000, it will be seen that our government expendi tures will be less than $9 per capita. Deducting the $123,000,000 for the postal department and the $53.000,- 000 for the sinking fund, the expen ditures would be $6.72 per capita for the year, 56 cents a month, and less than 2 cents a day. The Britian budget for the ensuing year shows an expenditure of $905,000,000, or $21.50 per capita, and a deficit of $220,000,000 must be provided for in spite of the enormous taxes now lev ied.

W. Woolridge, whom the dispatches say advocates the cre ation of a glacier at the top of San Bernardino mountains that would change the arid lands of Arizona and southern California into a garder. He would have the standing army employed, and suggests as one of its tasks that it erect an immense chim ney on the Pacific coast, of such height that the upper air could be carried to the top of San Bernardiuo mountains, whereby atmospheric ac tion could be used at an extremely low temperature, thus forming, ac cording to his theory, an immense glacier. The presence of this glacier would cause a sufficiency of rainfall, which in that country is now lacking because the upper stratum of the at mosphere is too warm. Dr. Wool ridge should come to Oregon if the humane officers in Ohio will permit, and discover some means of improv ing our climate. A system of im mense windmills, and a pipe line to the moon, for instance, might solve the problem of how to rid Oregon of a surplus of moisture, at the same time giving the arid lands of our lu nar neighbor the aqua pura which they are reputed to need so badly. >«.-------- Xll. LIN DEN’N PONITION. Not tar Removed Erol» the Hepllb. lican Fold. S heridan . O k , April 16th. 1901. Mr. Editor: I noticed what you said in last week’s issue, about iny being a populist, etc., and I thank you very much for your compliment; but beg to call your attention to the fact that there is no populist party in Oregon, at this time, and consequently, I am not a pop ulist. The people’s party, as an organ ization, went out of existence last win ter, when the state central committee unanimously voted to disband. I sup pose it is in order now, for those who have hitherto been identified with that party to seek their political home in some other organization, or be an inde pendent; this last, is about my position. I am waiting to vote with a party that believes that the money question i9 set tled; that believes in standing by the flag when there is a fight on, until the other fellow is whipped, and discuss the merits of the case afterwards; that be lieves in a modification of the present protective tariff system; that believes in a more economical administration for our government; that believes in an in come tax, aud opposes the trusts and the granting of subsidies for any purpose. Such a declaration by any party, that honestly inteuds to carry them out, will sweep the country at the next presiden tial election. These are democratic principles. What is the matter with the democratic party adopting them at the uext national convention? C. C. L inden . Not in llitrmouy Wilk Ilia Idol. It ought to be a source of pleasure to every person in Oregon to meet with as distinguished a person as the president, or chief executive of the nation. The person who will permit his partisaaism to prejudice him against honoring the na tion’s chief executive by extending him a hearty welcome to the state and the best hospitality the state affords, is so waterlogged with bliud and unreasoning prejudice that he is not worthy of much consideration.—North Yamhill Record. The president has announced that he will go to San Francisco soon to witness the launching of a battleship. There is still work for the peace society when the chief executive of a great nation travels across the continent to celebrate the completion of an engine of destruction. —Bryan's Commoner. tendered him uti Wednesday Dy tele gram from Senator Mitchell, and he has the offer under consideration. The place pays a salary of $1500 aud expenses. We are pleased to see Al. get this windfall. It may prove doubly serviceable to him as u change of climate may prove bene ficial to the health of Mrs. Snyder, who is troubled greatly with asthma. It is understood that his presence in the new field will be required early in May. AMITY. Fred Garrison was circulating among his Amity friends last Wednesday. The beautiful weather still continues an<l garden making and house cleaning is the order of the day. Willie Graham has bought the huckster wagon of Howard Ellston and will con tinue to run same this summer. Mr. Hardin has bought the grocery store of Harris A Co. and will oontinue the business at the old stand. All the school marms in this neck o’ the woods passed very creditably at the recent institute, and of course are happy. Mrs. Grace Martin and Libbie Cock- razn went over to Salem last Saturday to attend the funeral of the little son of R. A. Harris. Mr. Smith has returned from Portland and is once more installed as S. P. agent at this place. He will occupy the Os borne property on Nursery street. Several parties who own cows are tak ing their milk to the Jones separator and there shipping the cream to Indepen dence. Amity should have either a creamery or a cheese factory; this would be a paying institution and a Godsend to everyone who has surplus milk or cream. The communities that have these institutions are always prosperous, with plenty ofcash in circulation. but sighs. She knows that the pains that rack her will not stop for darkness, and that if she sleeps her dreams will only be echoes of the sufferings of the day. Why not sleep soundly and rise refreshed at morn ing, with strength aud courage for the day's duties? Weak, nervous women, sufferers from backache, bearing-down pains, and other womanly a i 1- ments, have found a perfect cure in Dr. Pierce’s Fa vorite Prescrip tion. It heals the womanly diseases which cause the pains and nervousness. It makes weak women strong and sick women well. "I de»m It ray duty to express my heartfelt fratitude for having been the means, under evidence, of restoring me to health.” writes Sirs. B. H Munn, of Springhill, Leon Co., Fla "For nearly two years I suffered from female weakness so I could not stand on my feet any length of time; could scarcely walk at alf. Appetite was much impaired; I had bearing- down sensations: can't express how badly I did feel Had tried several kinds of medicine which did me little or no good. At last decided to try Dr, Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I had not taken all of two bottles before I saw it was benefiting me, so I continued to take It until I had taken seven bottles, whan I felt entirely cured. Did not feel a touch of my old com plaint. It has been over a year since I took your medieine, and I can truthfully say that ray health has been better for the last year than it had been for four years previously.
