Little Things Tlint Sinks the Panorama
of I.lfo Interesting.
Robert Iloudln, tho sicight-of-hond
man, onco Bald that ho owed much of
hla success to lib persistent cultivation
of tho faculty of observing ordinary
things. IIo cultivated this by watch
ing people as ho passed them on tho
street, by noting tho details of differ
once. IIo said that ho Anally got so
prouclont tnat lio could glanco at n
shop window on passing It and tell
ovorythlng In It, oven to details of con
struction of tho small articles, as tho
pattern of a chain In a joweler's window
for Instance.
In addition to Its mental training this
observing of details has a more attraot-
ivo Bido. It furnishes amusement aud
makes an ordinary going forth for busi
ness or pleasure a vorltablo trip to won
derland. If you will tako tho troublo
to Inquire Into tho matter you will bo
surprised to And how littlo people, oven
women, observe what is going on about
them.
Women are always mentioned as
alert and Infalllblo observers. As a
matter of fact thoy obsorvo very littlo
outsido of tho details of other womon's
hats and gowns. And they do not 6b
servo these as much as thoy got credit
for doing, as any dressmaker or milliner
can tell.
You will notlco this differonco in ob
servation in tho conduct of pooplo in
tho elevated trains. Ono man, sitting
in a corner, peering over his nowspapor,
will suddenly laugh. lie lias seen
something to amuso him In somo per
son in tho car or in somo window tho
car has just passed. Now, othors havo
been looking in tho samo direction as
ho but have soon nothing to laugh at.
Tho truth U they did not see what
ho saw. Thoy wore looking at it, but
they were looking with eyes untrained
for details. Tho small, incongruous
eloments which make up humor had
escaped them. But if tho laughing
man had told what ho saw the othors
would havo laughed. It was not lack
of a senso of humor, but simply lack of
observation.
In any crowd that jostles along tho
sidewalks of Broadway thoro ar6 a
thousand peculiarities of dress and
manner, a score of incidents full of
humor or of that gentle melancholy
which refreshes llko tears sljed over a
novel. The peoplo who are fond of
parading and seeing what is going on
aro conscious of this crowd in only a
dim way. Thoy do not think of sepa
rating it further into dotalls than pretty
or ugly, handsoino or unattractive.
And In that way thoy miss almost all
tljo life and beauty and interest.
Thoy boo, but at the same -time thoy
do not soo. And thoy forgot thai; all
tho fun and all tho shadow that writers
put Into print for them to read aro but
faint reflections of tho fun and shadow
of tho panorama of Jifo which Is around
everybody.
The color of a bootblack's shirt, tho
cut of a working girl's gown, tho ways
in which women do their hair, tho kind
of eyebrows and oyes, expressions of
laces all theso things may bo observed
and noted In such a way that a scoro of
other things, unnoticed before, will bo
opened to view. Tho more this minuto
and careful observation Is, pultlvated
tho more entertaining and profltablo
too it becomes. Now YorlcSun.

A charming bit of spritjinerit Is con
tained in tho following incldent: Miss
A. and Mr. B., both woll known Bos
tonians, were enjoying tho ovonlng on
tho rocks nt Pigeon covo a lovely moon
light ovening, during which nn oJTor of
marriage was made and accepted.
After a while Miss A. said to her flunce:
"Now, dear, I want you to mark fills
very spot wliero wo aro sitting, and for
a wedding present I want " "ot of orna
ments made from a pleco of tho rook
wliero you mark it."
Only a few months later and tho
marriage and a trip to Europo was ar
ranged. Mr. B. went to tho rook, found
without difficulty tho mark, chipped oft
a pieco and carried it to ono of our Jew
elers, who cut from it and polished
stones for a bracelet, pin- ring and
sleevo buttons. It was a beautiful and
unique sot, with nothing of tho pol
ished granite appearance, but moro of
tho moss ngato, and placed In a white
satin coso lined with nalo sea croon
was an exquislto present. Boston Ga

A Conductor That Was Kind.
Several thousand women in New

riences with conductors may question
tho truth of tho following storv, but
for all that it is a true stery: Thoro
was a uiockuuo in mo street anu sev
eral cars wero standing In lino. A
woman on tho tidowalk had her anus
filled with a baby, a couple of bundles
and a parasol, when tho baby's hat
blow off. Tho woman was about to
ktep out Into tho street to follow the
hat, when a conductor of ono of tho
cars cried out to her, "Walt a moment,
ma'in, and I'll got it for you." Then
ho Jumped from tho car, and, running
after tho hat, caught it and restored it
to its owner. This bcems hard to lio
lieve of tho much abused street car
conductor, but It may bo the exception
that proves tho rulo. Now York Trib

ItOAD CO U.MIS-UON.
Between those who opposo tho
cummfcsiou system entirely, those
who unwisely declare that all tho
corporations do Is all right) niul a
great deal of unjust abuse by the
pres", the Oregon ralhvuy commis
sion has become a pretty good peo
ple's commission. The processes nt
work have been somewhat heroic
but the product is all tho moro valu
able. With no moro battles on
hand bclwren the commission nnd
tho governor, aud with the hearty
eo-oK'ratlou of tho attorney general,
there is no reason why it may not
bo a very useful body.
What do tho Oregon newspapers
that have always been bellttfing the
Oregon railroad commission think of
tbe reductions of freight rates now
ordered by the commission? Will
thoy uphold the commission in Us
labors for lower transportation rates
for tho people, or will they sustain
tho corporations in their proposed
light on the law ? They must take
their choice. They have alwnjs
been asserting that tho commission
was doing nothing of any value to
tho people. Now the freight tarlir
on a car of wheat shipped In Oregon
is reduced $1 on every $10. There Is
no theory about I his. There Is to be
i hurd dollar of colu saved on each
carload of farm products. Of course
the railroads will resist this. But
theso autl-commisslou nowspnpere
aro not required to help them.
It Is expected tho Oregonlau will
oppose tho reductions, as it always
takes the side of tho corporations.
But there are plenty of uowspapors
in the state that should not feel
obliged to withhold puppoit from
tho commission, because It has now
performed a rea)y valuable tervice
to tbe people and should not only
be applauded but upheld iu Its
labors.

l'OU THOSE WHO AIIUSU FAItAWItS.
Oregon Pally Blade, Hepubllcnn:
Tho Sprluglleld Journal in its
issue of July 10, printed upon tho
editorial page, so as to give It greater
prominence, a newspaper interview
with Charles Gregory, of Osage City,
Kansas, wherein ho described the
alliance fartnersof Kunsas as "either
demagogues or men who could not
play a thinking part If thoy tried."
And then ho cites tho bill about
"ground hog day" to prove what he
says. And then the editor of the
Journal proceeds to iudoiso the
above by saying that Mr. Gregory I
ustraightfoiward, honest man, and
that his opinion is about what ono
would expect, etc., considering the
wild yagarleti of the farmers. Kansas
is au agricultural state and is con
trolled by farmers' votes, aud always
has been so controlled; and there is
not u state in tho Union with no
greater wealth, comparatively, and
no greater age, that exceeds her In
Clio number and qti illty cf her
schools. Bho Is a state of schools,
of churches and of 'prohibition.
Whether prohibition in rlifht or
wrong it is the result of a high moral
consciousness and u feeling of re
spouRlbilltv. Now all these tilings
enjoyed by Kansas weie put into
her possession by the votes of
farmers, and u vast maJoiUy of tlioso
farmers werellepulillcaus, and prob
ably will bo ngaln, If such papers as
the Journul and Chicago Tribune
stop abusing and Insulting them,
The Journal believes In a protective
tarlfl and so do I, but If tho fanncm
of tho country had not Htood by the
Republicans during tho last national
election better than the voters In
the cities did, we would today have
either free trade, or a turlu" for reve
nue only, under Democratic rule. I
presume that hundreds of thousands
of Farmers' Alliance men voted the
Republican ticket, and when Jlo-
publlcnu newspapers Indorse such J
statements as that "thoy could not
play n thinking part If they tried"
they at least glvo a very doubtful
compliment to Republicanism. And
thefco same alliance men who voted
with the Republicans believe, In tho
milt), iu ullluuce principles, but be
lieve that such reforms :ih aro re
quired can hi: jihouoht aiiout
better lu the Republican party than
outeldo ofit. Now, do you believe
that calling these men names, such
as wo have quoted, Is calculated to
hold them In (he party, or to recall
thoro who have gone out? 1'lcnne
remember one thing; that tho inalu
dlU'erence between ullluuce men In
side am! the men outside the old
purl it's Is I hut those outside believe
lu separate purty action, while thoxe
Inside do not. The alliance princi
ples of all are muliily the same.
When CJmrJesfJregory of the Journal
sneers nt (ho thinking qualities of
the farmers plcuse remember that
when I'uul Revtro rode over tho
country to urouw men to fight the
British, who wore going to destroy
military stores at Concord, he did

not turn his horse for tho city, but
ho headed him for the farmers; and
they responded nobly; fearlessly they
laid down thoir lives to stop the
progress of the enemy luto the town,
and thus Immortalized themselves
as "the embattled farmers who tired
tho shot heard around tho world."
E believe Senator Cullom to bo no
mean statesman, but nearly fifteen
years before ho secured his Inter
state commerco law, tho farmers of
Illinois, Wisconsin nnd Iowa had
taught the peoplo of this country
that railroads wero created by law,
and could bo and should be con
trolled by law. During tho grango
movements nine-tenths of the law
yers of the Nation ridiculed it as
much as the same classes do the
alllauco today. But tho farmers
wero right and tho great "thlukers"
(In their own estimation) wire
wrong. Now York City today, as a
city, Is partly governed (from choice)
by tho farmers vote of tho state be
causo the city is too corrupt to
entirely govern herself.

A MINIKTKIt UlttlllUi.
OiTAWA, Out., 13. There was
great excltmeut here, it having been
announced thnt Sir Hector Lnnge
vin had tendered his resignation to
the tlrst in in later. In consequence,
tho privileges and elections com
mittee was Jammed with eager lis
teners in vlow of Sir Hector's ap
pearance. Tho committee-room
was crowded to tho doors, and tho
heat was most oppressive It was
witli great dilllcultv that reporters
found seats. As soon as tho pioceed
Ings opcued, Sir Hector rose and de
manded to bo heard. He then read
a lengthy typo-written slutemeut,
HoBiutcdtbnt when (he test case
tlrst came up no definite ohargea
were made against him by Tarle,
but shire It proceeded hints and In
sinuations and direct charges had
been made which injured his char
acter. Had the charges been nitule
lu tho Arsl instance, ho would huvo
followed tun English precedent and
resigned from the government. But
as it was he had tendered his resig
nation to tho II rat minister, thut tho
government uud parliament might
be" free to denl with his caso as they
might think best. He then launch
ed Into a denial of the evidence ad
duced by him. Ho had no knowl
edge that tho Messrs. McGreevy
were conuected with the Arm or
Lnrkln, Connolly &. Co., at any
lime. He dented knowledge of the
manipulation of tho tenders. Be
funing to tho Esquimau dock, ho
said thut Hon. Trutsh was superln-
teudcut of tho work; tenders opcued
March 4, 1831, and a few days after
wards two of tho tenderers wrote
that they bad made Important er
rors, and in September new tender
ers were called and Starr & O'Han
ley's were the lowest; but tho chief
inspector said their tender wus tco
low, and, they weio accordingly
asked to increase their deposit. Tills
thoy refused, nud withdrew their
tender. Au order lu council then
authoiicd tho acceptance of the
tender of Larkln,ConuolIy!fc Co. Sir
Hector then quoted extensively tho
statistics given by tho engineer In
Ills report on the work. In the fall
of 1S85, Mr. Pcrley visited Esqut
mult and advised the department
that an additional $2.1,000 would bo
necessary to complete the work. Sir
Hector assented to (ho change, on
condition that no additional price
be given to tho contractors. With
regard to the plant tukou over by tho
contractors, the minister said thut
Perely hud granted u remission of
tho price to be paid by contractors.
Ho reminded the committee, how
ever, that with .10,000 letters a year
coming to his department, it was
lmposBlblo to bo cognlrant of what
took pluco. With regard to McGree
vy's letter to Bobert, to the cfl'eot
thnt ho (Thomas) had frequent In
terviews with hlm(Slr Hector)about
contracts, Sir Hector dcclutcd that
the only part he hud In tho case was
that of a friend, He admitted that
Thomas McQreovy discounted his
notes and puid the Interest regularly
since 1878. He said ho hud no In.

wished only to clear his character,
and lie left his case In the bauds of
tho house of commons.
All sorts of rumors uro ulloat. One
is to tho cll'cct that Hon. TliomtJs

Sir Hector's resignation was com
