"Over our Washington' river, ' Sunrise beams rosy and fair; , Sunset on Sangamon fairer; - Father and martyr lies there." ' fcdna Dean Proctor, April, 1665. i ": Remarks rnao by President Lin coln to the Medical Director, at City Point, Va., April 8, J 865, when he devoted the whole day to "bak ing hand with over aix thousand soldiers in the hospitals, giving them word of cheer and sympathy, as from a father to his children: "I have come to see the "boys wEo have fought the battles of the country, and .particularly the bat-" ties whyh resulted in the evacua tion of Richmond. I desire to take these men by the hand, as it will probably-be my last opportunity of meeting them." DEFERRED ECOMXTJM3. As the Statesman predicted a few day before Senator Hanna V death, in case of his demise, practically every body would join in praise of his mani fold an 1 unnumbered good qualities, notwithstanding the unlimited and ma licious abuse that was constantly heap ed upon him druing his active lifetime. ' With the possible exception of Washington and Lincoln, no man in American public life since the days of the Revolution of 1776, has been more persistently and virulently maligned than was Senator Hanna. Washington was publicly accused of about every crime against morals and personal in tegrity, including the taking of money from the national treasury on his sal ary account as President beyond what the law allowed him, as well as being an enemy to the welfare of the new Re public in the interest of monarchy, while Lincoln was pursued by vicious slanderers to the day of his tragic death by vicious slanderers whose tongues topped at nothing that wowld injure his character or asperse his motives. r Now, however, no living man can be found who does not extol the char acter and high personal and patriotic motives of both those matchless Ameri can statesmen. , What a pity the pursuing hyenas who compose the lower strata of our political life could not in some way be Suppressed and public men who stand o eminent in history after their death b permitted to enjoy at least a part of he comfort whiili comes from the 'consciousness of having received the approbation of their fellow citizens. ; With the exception of a pitiable crit ic now and then who still thinks more of partisan politics than of doing jus tice, the words oft commendation of Senator Hanna' public career from ev ery standpoint, political opponents as well as friends, are overwhelming in praise of his high character and honest purposes.- It is within the easy bounds of truth to say that the death of no man in the United . States, excepting only the President, and that largely on account of bis position, would have been rooro generally lamented among all elasses of our people than that of Senator Hanna. And what snore could be said in his praise as a typical Amer ican citizen! By his own native abil ity and Undoes energy he entered pub lic life so late as his sixtieth year and air "I bad a very severe sickness that took of? ail mv hair. I pur chased a bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor and it brought all my hair back again." :"- ; U'. D. Quinn, Marseilles, III. ( One thing is certain, Ayer s Hair Vigor maKes the hair crow. This is because it is a hair food. It feeds the hair and the hair crows, that's all there is to it. It stops falling of nthe hairoo, and al ways restores color to gray hair.

Accept no Substitutes for within the short period of seven years reached that station in national infln enco whre it can be truthfully, said that he had no superior as one whose judgment as a party advisor was more generally sought and accepted. And while he was not a great statesman ac cording to the ordinary definition j of the word, nor an . eloquent orator, ; his judgment was of such high order that when it was announced he would ad dress the Senate on an important ques tion, there was no Senator, no matter how long. the term ofbis service nor his fame as a speaker", who would be more certain of an attentive audienee. And yet, who can claim to know the pangs of anguish he was forced to en dure by the pen of misrepresentation aad the cruel pencil of the cartoonislf Ho once told the writer of this article that he had preserved every cartoon of himself he had been able to find and had instructed his clerks to do the same. Ho had many Hrge books of their, all kept in his offices, however, and had dono this largely for the pur pose of preventing, as far as possible, their coming to the inotiee of bis wife, whose sorrow at their gross misrepre sentations was practically unendurable. But in the mad effort to eccurc personal or partisan success what does the yiru lent political striker eare tor the integ rity of his neighbor or the feeling of his family, if bis own success can be builded on the ruins he seeks to spread about him by any means within Li3 power! It would be impossible to estimate the comfort it would have afforded Senator Hanna if he could hare read four years ago the collection of encomi ums on his good-name and the honora ble aim swhich always guided him, gathered largely from leading opposi tion papers, and published in the Statesman yesterday morning. Can vre learn the lossonf A BETTER DEAL.' 'A Salem news item to the Portland Journal says under the new bicycle ordinance tho "bicyclists gefa much betteT deal." Well, we should say so. Under this new law, so far, the bi cyclists not only have gotten a better deal, but; they have been kindly -handed the whole deck, with the joker thrown in for good measure. : jUp to date the new bicycle law is a better deal, principally , because tho City Marshal gives it out toHhe public that he will make no arrests for vio lating the law until the City Council assures him that ho will bo protected by it against any losses that may comi to him in case of making an irrest that does not "stick in court.'! This the Council has refused to do, and here we stand, with the Council and the Mar shal making faces at each other, and the bicycle riders revelling in the thought of being masters of the situa tion. J ! -. " The Statesman desires to see the law enforced. It is not disposed to censure either the City Council or Marshal, not' yet, but appeals to them to extri cate, not only the city, ut themselves, from this ridiculous position. Neither will undertake to justify fit, and the means of emerging from it as well as the duty of doing so rests with them. For several months we had an interre gum as to bicycle legislation, during which pretty much everybody rode where they pleased, but here we have a new ordinance and it should be en forced, or repealed outright or a lot of officers should resign as a testimon ial of self -confessed incompetency. Such laxity as this is direct . en couragement to the young, as well as the older, to indulge in contempt for the law, which is a far mere hurtful rerolt than to have no legislation ea the subject whatever. We have a cur-J . . rv ii . - Yl Tt II araM' Hood's Sarsapanlla and Pills. few law, bnt who would suspect it when walking along the strerts on most, any night!

Pro- vision nas ueen. n.au u uc ""V' i i.. .. .. i. ,:,i-i on Alornson ; street ami iae qucaimu arises what to do with the thousands of passengers who cross that thorugh fare daily. The conclusion has about 1 een reached to permit passenger traf-1 1 b ic during tho construction of the i nc during bridge with the understanding that the passenger hiniscl' must be resjonsible for any possible aecident to himself. But there is a lingering fear that this mutual agreement will not ab.sol.ve the authorities from legal responsibil ity in case of an accident and the ques tion presents itself as to who would bo responsible, the city or county? Here is the same old diifficulty. Port land has become the . Mecca for gam blers all over this eiast, for it is gen erally known that though we have a OLIAVtf OtUiV' fart I.I t t II I IliC JtO l.r.AU I 1 ; ' and the city of Portland has just as J J J I . to . . " there is a dispute as to which shall have precedence in the honorable and creditable task of enforcing their pro visions. TL is a gallant instance of Alphonse and Gaston, Naturally tha District Attorney is backward in- encroaching on the privileges of the city authori ties unless soma lawbreaker becomes "sassy," in which case ho cares noth ing for precedent or official courtesy and the city officers quite as naturally hesitate to butt in where the state law f ?v a-.l u I ;i I una f 1. a Tii4 v nf tltn nf. ficers. - , In this indistinguishable maze of con flicting requirements and unquestioned authority, the situation is the same as though there were no law, whatever, either city or state, on the subject. It is a roost interesting spectacle an'l furnishes a whole course of hpljiful stuly to students who are delving deeply into the problems of govern ment. . To furnish a means of escape from the difficulty,, a committee of confer ence is suggested that the important question may be definitely and satis factorily settled. Since it is, plaiuliy a question of inability to decide a mat lorof jurisdiction or of legal responsi bility (identically the same as the gambling situation) it is singular that the happy solution iof the latter diffi culty Las not suggested itself to the puzzled county and city officials. Why not inaugurate a system of fines? This seems to hsr- worked well tn the gambling cases. Wlieo you can not agree who has the authority to en force a law, fine somebody, as a sort of- compromise; Tiis brings money into the treasury, which pleases the taxpayers, and, on the other ban I, ap pears not to displease the other "fel lows. A carefully formulated system of fines is one of the latest (and bap-j pieit) adjuncts to governmental sci ence. k: i. . ' Therefore, in this latest clash , be tween the authorities of the city of Portland and those of Multnomah eoun y hy not provide a light fine to be paid by every passenger crossing Mor rison street bridge! This would rapidly increase thr city revenues an objet never to be lost sight of and in the event of a damage ease which had to Im riai-I. there would t tne money to r " liqui3ate with, and most surely a large ;r!surplu besides. . surplus besides. - , , t ' The Statesman commends .this thought to the puzzled officials in Portland ! and. Multnomah county as -a means of easy escape from the present perplexing dUSeulty, an avenue in., this direction' -discovered "by ' themsel ves, tvt, ! evidently overlooked, in the sud denness with, fwhicn, this new enigma has presented itself. In all such ' in stances aaihlsa system of fines should .not be overlooked until the intermixed and inseparable lines of authority be tween the county and city may be "di vorced by a oujl of competent' juris diction. ;;.T'?.i.; :-::, Heie in Salem and right now, we are confronted by4 a Situation relating to a new bieycle'-ordinanee, in whiclts'the J oflicei of theifferent departmet of tbo city; government are not ; certain who should move first, how far he should move, norv whxj , would be respon sible if be sliobIdim6ve and it proved to be a false one. But we are qutfe countrified yet and our methods are noticeably conservative. We have of ficers who are vigilant in every other respect but they have not reached that degree of disregard for established cus toms where they can fine a transgres sor of a simple bicycle law. But we will come to it. PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY. The Oregoniaa proceeds to read a lcrson to a man who has two sons in the Mute iSehool here and who is too poor to furnish needed clothing for them, by saying that "he committed a meat grievous and mischievous blunder when he took upon himself to become a fa ther." But. will the Oregonian nnder tako to formulate and publish the rules which, in its ? odgment, should pre- seribe -the line 1 of division between j wj L t take It j upon themsel ve to become f atuers, ' 1 ami that ' other . class who ' know in ir 0 " - j ; o '.better, will govern themselves aceoru- ingly! it is lurlher ttated that "laTer on in its ucvclopmcnt soeiety will no doubt find means to protect itself from blunders of this kind." But how! Is tljc distinguishing lincyto be ' one of wealfhr-an ability to continue to buy clothes! Who knows but that the .father of these boys, at the time he be came their father, was abundantly uble to perform this ordinary domestic duty and had no means of foreseeing tue iitvertv which has overtaken himf He . , , ' - - .. mar. today be niucn u?ttcr man, in " , . - , .

The best of men and in tiuvjuiTTst of overwhelming affluence sometimes become, the fathers ofhe "most;iiothless cattle in human form that ctjrtiler; tiie earth. The fact is thre is always one ele ment of chance in "taking upon one's self to become, a father." Being un able to predict, the outcome, this man now, abused for his curtailed power as a prophet, ao doubt decided to take the chance. There are scores, of prisoners . . . 1 in. the penitentiary, sons of men who , . .... " , . , , ., ... have at all times fnrnished them with "needed elolhinc," but who I nt won are now being clad at the expense of the state. And their fathers are in many cases reputable' men of affairs and moans. Did not they "commit a most grievous and mischievous ' blunder when they took upon themselves to become fathers?" If "society" could lay a restraining hand on all married people who are unable to guarantee sufficient clothing for their offspring during tlic period of their youth, Abraham Uncoln would never have been born , nor Andrew Jackson, nor even Henry Clay. Lankily, tho line- suggested by the Oregonian will neei' be adopted by "society." The wealthy fathers of tho thousands of scalawags who are in the peniten tiaries of the country have committed a much wreater grievance against so ciety thai tho poor fellow whose un fortunate children are out at the Mute SchooL ... HANNA'S LAST ITTER. Only a few days beforo bis death, President lioosevelt called jHn Sena tor Hanna, or rather upon the family, and inquire! about his conditon. When told of the President's call, the Sena tor eebly expressed his pleasure ' at tho event, and finally requeued that OIL FOR THE BODY You can lose an atom i without feeling it.

Authorities differ,' but it comprises not much less than eight millions and a half of square miles. Its greatest length from east to ' west Vs six tfiou sand miles and its j greatest breadTTT north and south is about twenty-three hundred miles. Its area is two and a half; times that of the United States, including our Island possessions, while its population is about 130,000,000, ; as against oars of 76,000,000. The early history of Russia is cloud ed with uncertainty but it was known in the time of Christ by the Greeks and Romans whose writer mention it as being inhabited by the Scythians, a half ravage tribe of unsettled wander ers. ( Through the succeeding centuries Russia experienced alt the vicissitudes of a changing government, when it hat any, but always (he. victim of the most despotic . riders. Usually,' upon the death of a Czar who had in a manner accomplished snie advaneemenf ia Im proving the conditions of governmental affairs, "his son would te compelled - to purchase his, right to the throne from tho incb, and mt customary did tbisr be come that - the Czar generally made peeuniary pn-pa ration for this expected contingency, v i I - - - - :i' - -- - ' - f " - Report to rison as a means of dis posing of an undesirable ruler was com mon jand sons were often gotten out of the jray by fathers who had other as pirations in vciejw. Perhaps the most brutfl ruler Russia ever had was "Ivan the Terrni' liorn in 1529 and diel in 15SL, U is official name was "Yas-ilievit-.b," showing that evenin early ilays the Russians had a ; fondness for that pe-uliar -termination, of names that: strikes fSrror to modern readers in English. -. ' : Waf (Inrtrff Ivan 'a .! 1L.I middle of the sixteenth century, mi the Slmiski, a - iKwerful aristocratic order, practically rtoolru possession of the government jnd held,JV,ontu over, thrown by the iC llasky, a 'rival Jorder I of the same elassV; The rnl,of the! Olinsky 'was marked, as was thnt "f Shniski, by nets' f'the most horrible cruelty, but it lasted only three .years. Outraged hy their..jortt!inJ lfiTror, the people of ; Moscow, in 13-17, rose against them, rcatsacred them and burnt the town. It is related that "in the midst of thc-terrible scenes which ensued, a nonk; aauied': Sylvester, en tered the palace- 4earing the gospels. In stern tnea he declared to the Czar that the outbreak'1 but the just ven geance of heaven for the crimes that had been committed in his . name and exhorted him to heed the .-framing and rule hi people justly, .vb was ap palled by the awful words of the inonk and promisel to do better.1' .- For the next thirteen years Russia had a much betteY-government, but at the end of that period Ivan was,eized with a terrible illness ' emerged from it with a part jally disorderetl mind. Tbisweurredin 1560; and from that " time tfntil his death twenty-four years later, Russia passed through the most trying and awful "period of its history. It is said that in 1570 Ivan put 60,000 ioi4wlp f death in Novgo rod merely because he hated the free spirit that; prevailed there. "He butchered with his own band a throng of the unfortunate inhabitants whom he heaped together in a great enclos ure, and when at last his strength fail ed to scond his fury, he gave ip the remainder to his select guard, to his slaves and his degs." In Moscow five hundred Of the lead ing nobles were put to- death and. one historical account says f Neither, were women srsred . any uure than men. Ivan ordered them to be hanged at their own doors, and he prohibited their husbands from going out or ; in with out passing under the corpses Of their companions, till they rotted ahd fell to pieeestuion them. Elsewhere bus bands or children were fastened dead to the places they had occupied at the domestic table, and their wives or mothers were compelled to sit, for days opposite to the dear and lifeless re mains." j "Ivan the Terrible" committed mjnv more horril ! cruelties than these we have mentioned, and the very first query arise, in what subjugated state of mind must a people be who will en- di-re fr an hour 'such a prhcec ling as this'.' The.more we studr the gro veil ing condition and lack of independence which characterized those we today call the -oininn people," less than four hundred years ago the more we marvel that as much progress has iecn iuale as that which the world really enjoys. Of course the basis of .thS blind sub mission to the tyrannical authority of their rulers lay in the superstitious be lief in tho superior right of stablisb--d dyn.tirs. And yi" this theory is overthrown, partly, at leiwt, by the fact that many of these rulers purchas ed their crowns outright fro.n j those who could; control the populace or the the mob. , An occasional. glanco. into the depths of historical narratives which remind us of conditions "through which the race has passed in its efforts for better government, is profitable. The wonder is that we have done as well as we have, or, on the other hand, that any portion of the race1 was ever as" be nighted and brutal as 'it was. Of eOurse, any monarch in Russia who to- lay would undertake such a career as ii a ! W m a a M :'' mai wnicn jvan ioiiowei tor years, would last as President Roosevelt said in one of bis messages relative to an effort to establish anarchy here, "but one brief red moment.'-' We are decidedly upon the up grade in governmental, development. , Al though Russia is even yet far! behind every other nation which' claims to be civilized according to the modern defi- . . 1 . M .1 ' ... . nitiun pi me woru, ner people are learning and her Czars are humane, and considering the form of government which has been inherited, its advance ment is probably all that eonld have been expected! In many ways, howev er, it is far lxdiind its little antago nist in the present military operations in the Yellow Kea. " . ' . - : TWO ' WATERSONIANS. Col.
