A point was attempted to be made,
also, concerning the sluggishness of

these have lieeu started to London

that the foreign? market will -open-up
this year earlier than it did luTSJP.t,
and it is expected to be a strong mar
kit. Nearly t;7.otM householders in Cuba
have registered "their intention to re

not a promising one for the - tranquil

i Hon. Ringer Hermann and family

orih-r that Hie latter might enter

Hermann will remain a month or

over Hon ltinger Ilermamrs annual

fact is what is agitating a few politi
cians Mini newspaiers of tlie northern
part of -.the- state. There is no deny

estimation of Oregon iMople and he

lKth at home and abroad. This paper
knows nothing of Mr. Hermanu'H can
didacy or iMilith-al ambitions, but Is
aware of tlie fact that bis many
friends throughout the state are very
mcUvi ami are persistent in tlielr ani-
lbition to make hi in our next U., K
i Senator. Koseburg I'hiindt-aler.
The IMaindealer gos on to quote nn
a rt hie from t he Evening Tekgra m of
Port hind, in gvh icli the. assertion Is
made that one t'oloiiel Ilosa, of South
ern Oregon, is reputed to have made
the 'official declaration recently of Mr.
Hermann's candidacy for the Senate.
This Oolonel Uosa is represented as a
close friend of Mr, Hermann. While
Mr. Hermann himself has disavoweil
bis eaudidavy. it is well understood In
Southern Oicgou that the utlerancts
of the Iloseburg Plainde:vJer Inregard
thereto are Inspired. The fact ' of his
Intention of lvmainlng in Oregon dur
ing" the beat of. the h1 it lea 1 cam
paign. Is enough lo fonnect bim with
the ambition which he so anxiously
announced and urged during the! ses
giott of the legislature of 'iSIVs when
be graciously anthorized his lieuten-
tanta In Oregon to make any promise
they mlght(see fit to nieitilwrs of the
Legislature in return for their votes.
.There Is no question of Mr. Her
mann candidacy J for tlie Senate so
far as hi desire; and ambition are
concerned, but It I a matter of very
slight moiiient .considered in the light
j of any desire on tlie part of the ineni-
, ber of the legislature or of the peo-
1 pie of Oregon to transfer him from

ne l,. tienerat i-i uu unice to the
United State Senate.
In the Roseburg riajndealer article
the statement Is prominently set forth
that Mr. Hermann I a factor of great
Influenee In, Oregon polities, and that
the Republican victory in Oregon last
June was largely due to his efforts.
Thi is likewise inspired. :

The renRoa. uiy son, I very plain.
Our Democratic J riendj . are pushing
these things to the front because there
isn't anything else for them to talk
altout thi year. All-the rest of their
imwder has - leen bnrnt once and
wt.n't even fizzle , thia year. 4 Their
platform denounces the Plngley tariff
bill, but they do not wish to meet us
leforo the' people on that Issue. The
bard times under the Wilson bill and
the present prosperity under bur pro
tective tariff furnish an object lesson
which makes it rmhill business to ar
gue five trade thisjrear.
Their platform also denounces the
gold standard legislation and demands
free coinage1 of silver at the ratio of
Hi to K But that; powder was burnt
four years ago and events have shown
the falsity of their predictions.
They are like the boy who when
beaten, playing marbles saj's "Let's
play something else." Beaten on tariff
and the money question. tJiey want to
play "militarism" awhile. Their lack
of iiuy other Issue Is responsible for
the conjuring up of the siMctre of
"inqM'i'ialisui." !
But whih they are not talking alMiut
free trade or free silver, the people are
not going to foigetxthat they are t In
free trab and free silver party. Anil,
as Mr. .Lincoln use4 to saj that re
minds nie of a little .story..
r One of our ex-ellent missionaries
and his good wife went to au island in
Polynesia alxtut fifty year ago. They
stayed there sixteen years and their
work was wonderfully successful.
They found a tribe of savages. They
left a tribe of civilizel. Christian peo
ple, ind istrloiis and 'j temperate,
"chthel and in tle'ir right minds."
The incident which illustrates my
point Mcurred luring the first year of
fheir residtnce on the island. A chief
clothed in sunshine and nolhing else
called on the missionaries. They
treated him politely, but as he left the
l ouse the missionary followed him ami
said: "Chief, we are" glad to see yon
and want you to come again, but In
my country men wear clothes and. uiy
wife is not aceustotmd to see men

American jveople.
By the way, speaking of "militar
ism. I advise j-ou always to watch
with suspicion any man or any party
that Is afraid of the United States
army. Our army- is a volunteer army
of as gallant men as tlie sun ever
shone tiMn.- TIjey are our defenders
and the protectors of our'persons aud
proiMrty. I lard-working, uncomplain
ing, brave and faithful, they follow
the flag through summer's sun and
winter's storms, through tropical jun
gles and the dangers of fever and of
battle for you and me and for their
country" sake. If a man is a good,
law-abiding citizen he has no reason
to lie afraid of an American soldier.
I was one, my father, was one, my
grandfather was one, and my great
grandfather was one, and I feel like
inking tiff niy hat to every soldier I
nie'k. And whenever I find a man who
Is afraid of tht "tyranny" of our gal-
Naut little army. I feel like asking him
what he has lMen doing. It Is a small
army for so great rt nation, and the
iiilUHbu tio.i ,f "niilitarisiu" in this
cauquiigu shows that our Democratic
friends are hard up for an Issue.

LUXURIES FOR. RACE HORSES.
i''1 ; ' .- '- i
Slcial Attendants Selected to Look
After Their Comfort Slar
I'olnter's Trunk. ...
When a race bor distinguishes
himself by winning some iniortant
coutet 'one of the llrst provision
nide for-hi m is an Indlvldttal trunk
containing an outtlt: of clotblnjr and
toilet 'appliance of all sort. Beside
this, s-ieclal attendants are selected to
look after hi comfort aud cleanliness.
The grooming of. the horse at the
race track t one of the interesting
morning happening and give one a
clearer Idea of the value of these an
imals thaiillwir performanee' on the
track can prtsent, however brilliant
they inay be. Whn one olwerves tin
care they receive and the nicety with
which they are washed, dried, brush
ed and coiuIhmI. and the watchful care
that Is lestowed Upon theni a they
ft4. one realize tlutt they represent
thousand of dollar In themselves
and In their iosslble winning of the
future. '
Every great race horse lias his
trunk. The trotting horse Star Point
er lias almost a many trunk as a
summer girl, but the average horse
ha only one trunk, very strongly
built, marked with bis name and-provided
with a special lock. Each ani
mal has his own basins.- pans and
pall for the toilet. Ids -feeding uten
sils, brushes aud ioml. The pans
are usually of agateware, plainly
marked with the horse's name ami
are never used by any other horse. A
face lKrse has many sets of towels of
various grades, and bis blankets of
variou -weights are for all weathers.
These are marked and numbered, and
are kept beautifully clean and well
aired. The Indongiugs of the horse
are carried about in his trunk during
periods of travel and while he Is vis
iting In a ; strange stable.
liesides all this luxury every great
ra-e horse nowadays must have a
jewel case, and. with age and success,
the collection frequently becomes
very valuable. Iu the casket, which
is a compartment of tlie trunk, are
kept the various trinket presented by
admirers. These consist largely of
article of wear, such as bridles fin
ished in silver and gold, silver chain
ed and mounted halters, blinkers with
valuable settings, and combs and
brushes mounted In handsome style.
These things, although rarely used,
and often of great value, are never
kept till view at tlie homes of the
otvners and trainers, but are invaria
bly carried about on all his travels.
When at home there are cases and
special receptacles for them in the
Stable.
Tin horses travel in parlor cars spe
cially constructed " with a view to
hor.ve comfort, are tended as carefully
as babies and are almost, always lov
ed by their trainers and stable loys.
espeekilly when their dispositions are

The fame of Avenarius Catfbolineum
has steatlily extended, as tlie only Ikhis

ha stood all tests of cuuiafe, soil and

ployed in all countries for rue preser
vation of wood ustl for household ar
ticles such as houses, barn, fences,

of Eiumk nnd America, have reeog
Jiized its value in saving public con
structions from decay. Following their
example cities and counties have also
ndoptcU avenarius carbolieum for

Great Itodirs move- slowly, and only
