In Alabama the legislature is to meet only once in four years under the new constitution. Evidently Al abama believes with Thomas Jetfer son that a state is best governed when governed least. Spain, at the close of her late war, talked freely about punishing the officers of her army and navy for getting licked. But the Spanish senate has recently rejected a motion to inquire into the responsibility for the disasters to Spain in the war with the United States. So far al) who have tackled Uncle Sam have bad the same experience, and Spain is willing to let it go at that. The wheat crop of Russia is darn aged seriously beyond any doubt. A similar report comes from most of the other European wheal producing countries. The yield of this country for 1901 is larger than ever before, and a heavy export demand is cer tain. The shortage of the corn crop caused by the drouth, will bo partial iy made up by the increase of the wheat yield above the averages of the past few years. A literary genius has discovered that Edgar Allen Poe did not write his famous poem “The Raven,” but stole it through translation of a poem of one Kai Yi, a Chinaman who lived about 1000 B. C. It is possible that Poe was guilty of plagiarism, and again it is possible that all this ki yi about the Chinese poet will come to naught. A year ago the Chinese were claiming the honor of being the original discoverers of America, but they failed to establish title. We have given them credit for the discovery of gunpowder, and now they are flaring up at short intervals and trying to lay' claim to the earth. They will surely contest the title to the north pole when it is discovered, and if some enterprising yankee should discover the hx'ation of the bottomless pit, up would jump some C'hiuamau and declare he had lived there for years. Another chapter in the farce of trying to collect the bond of (leo. W. Davis, the defaulting clerk of the state school land board was opened at Salem last week when Ex State Treasurer Metschan, who is one of the bondsmen, went up to Salem to be served with a summons in Marion county. It is noticeable, however, that be did not present himself to the sheriff until after the expiration of six years siuee the defaulting clerk went out of office. The papers were sworn to and ready for service on June 29th, but the bondsmen were evidently not ready then to walk up to Salem to accom modate the officials, since the suit was not commenced in the county of their residence. The new battleship Maine,launched some weeks since, will soon be completed at a cost of $3,000,000. The ki.l of this first class battleship was laid in Philadelphia on Wednes day, I’eb. 15 1899, in the shipyard of the builders who constructed the second-class battleship Maine, which was sunk- in Havana harbor just one year before. Thus the completion of the new Maine will bear the sig niflcance of an epoch-making date of two centuries, which dates will be personified in a great man-of-war which will keep ever in the minds of the American people the course of events which led to the war of 1898. Foritwasthe Maine which roused the American people from the ig noble coma of the Virginius period and diverted their minds for the time being from the atrocities of Spanish rule in Cuba and the cry of the un fortunate Cubans struggling under the yoke of barbarism, and centered their thoughts on the more recent acts of treachery toward a friendly nation. It was the Maine which closed all sectional chasms in this country, and it was the Maine which fused and welded the American peo pie into an indivisible whole. It was the Maine which concentrated on the government at Washington such a fury of popular wrath, resent ment and vengeance that no presi dent, no cabinet and no congress could withstand it. The old Maine, or rather its unfortunate destruction, has raised tbe nation from the rank of a third-rate power to a place among the foremost nations of the earth, and it was the Maine that made us a new, a better and a strong er people. If the new Maine shall accomplish as much during the next1 half a century as her famous pr roto- type has during the past three and one half years, the deplorable his- lorie episode in Havana harbor will indeed be more far-reaching in I its effect than was ever dreamed by the traitor who fired the explosive on that fatal night. AronQaiV Stocking Made to Comfortable, Perfect Health NEAT, Is within the reach of almost every woman. The weakne<< nervousness and irritability from which so many women suffer is in general due to dis ease of the delicate womanly organism. When the disease is cured the general health is re-established. Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription makes weak women strong and sick women well. It promotes regularity, dries disagreeable and enfeebling drains, heals inflammation and ulceration and cures female weakness. When these diseases are cured, headache, backache, nervousness and weakness are cured also. "I was very weak and nervous when I com menced taking Dr Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip tion and Golden Medical Discovery ’ about a ye.tr ago,” writes Mrs M. E Everetts, of 89 Oxford Street, Woodstock Ont. ”1 had been sutF ring for seven long months, and had taken xnediciue from a physician all the time, but it bcemed to make me feel much worse. My stomach was so bad (so my doctor told me), and my nerves were in such a state that I would start at the least noise. I felt irritable at all times ; was not able to do any of my own house work had to keep help all the time. How I suffered God and inyself alone know I was greatly discouraged when I commenced taking your medicines, but the first bottle seemed to help me. I took five bottles of ‘ Favorite Pre scription, two of ‘ Golden Medical Discovery,' also two vials of Dr. Pierce’# Pleasant Pellets. I can highly recommend these medicines to all who uffer as I did. I never had better health than I now enjoy, and it is all owing to Dr Pierce’s medicines.” Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser, in paper covers, is sent free on receipt of 21 one-cent stamps to pay expense of mailing only.

The dynamo and electrical machinery of the New berg electric light works arrived the first of the week, the poles for tbe line are up, wires are being strung, and we will soon have the long desired lights. As is al ways the case in a public utility enter prise of this kind it is hard to suit every body, and the council has experienced no little trouble in determining tbe position of the city lights satisfactorily. Two or three arrangements were decid ed upon, but strenuous objections being raised, rearrangements were made un til the plau finally adopted seems to give very general satisfaction. It is that there are nine public lights, five arc and four incandescent, located as follows: Are lights at the corners of the Bank of New berg, Sutton, Calkins & Co.’s store, the Chehalem Valley bank, G.

In the nature of things Bryan will haven kindly feeling for tbe progressive democratic party. Its platform suits him and its en dorsement of himself is at least a grateful incident when the reorganiz ers are at such pains to give him the cold shoulder. Bryan polled more votes inOhio in 1896 and 1900 than any other democrat has ever received in the state and more than any other could have received, for his personal popularity is beyond dispute. The new party is an indication of his hold upon a large number of demo crats. It may cut far more deeply« into the democratic vote than the re organizers are willing to admit.— Globe-Democrat.
