One of tlie hopeful siitns of the times is the Increased demand for a higher sense of political responsibil ity and a more conscientious dis charge of public duties, The man who merely "hogs" a public olllcc is nob considered us smart as lie once was, and his days of popular favor grow beautifully less. The public service Is only a lemon to bo sucked dry, says the spoils politician, but the public uro "onto" him. Eyen strong Republican partisans will not close their eyes to the critical spirit of the times, ard do not hesitate to criticise the' Jobbing of party patronage for nurcly personal purposes. There is not a particle of doubt that the dis position of federal olllces In Oregon is being eftVcted solely to extend the surreptitious political dynasty of mere political accidents. All honor to Mr. Bryan! While many loyo him for his broad sympa thies for suffering humanity, all must respect him for Ills morality and love of justice. Various Chicago branches of Debs's social democracy held meetings last week. Theio was much lurid oratory. Some of the hpoakers wanted to kill millionaires, and others wanted to ap ply the torch to property. Addressing an audience of 25,000 people at Sedalin, Mr. Bryan condemn ed these utterances of rank anarch ism. "Those -who haye suggested the burning of the properly or the de struction of life as a means of settling the labor disputes," he said, "do not understand the genius of our insti tutions. The American people are a law-abiding people. When laws are bad, they will change the laws. The tollers will respect the rights of prop erty, and the people as 11 whole will insist that the corporations shall also respect the rights of life and lib erty." Mr. Bryan's hold upon the affections of the peoplo isducto.hls fine sense of justice, and respect for the law. He is as courageous m condemning pernicious sentiments when uttered by the representatives of a powerful labor organization as he is in con demning lawless utterances when ut tered by organized capital and Its mouthpiece''. Ho has, with a judicial mind, Miat tine sense of justice which tells liltn that wrong should bo con demned wherever found In friend as well as In foe, when udvocatcd by la borer when committed by capltnl. All public olllcials who complain becauso this paper is sometimes se vere in its criticisms are hereby noti fied that the editors aro not here to share in thepioceeds of corruption If thoy know It. Is that plain enough? Justice and equal rights is a good enough newt-paper motto. Tho'Taoltlo Empire" is no longer Mrs. Dtinnlway's paper. It Is edited by Mrs. Llschen Maud Miller ami C. 0. Coggswcll. Hon. T. W. Davenport writes from Ohio that tho weather there is very wuriu. ITlioriiiometcr registered; 02 J -:o. Ticket Per Week at oflicc t t t t t -:e: at sunrise and 09 degrees In the shade at noon. lie says, however, that he and his daughter Alice, who accom panies him, do not complain of the heat as bad as the residents. Speak ing of the changes which have taken place in half u century he says: "The log house where my father's family llyed the winter of J836-7 has long since disappeared in smoke; the school house where I began the study of arithmetic is to me mournfully absent, "and every loved spot which my in fancy knew" exists only in my imagin ation or jmemory. The house where my uncle Win. Smith lived is still standing, a silent witness to tho rayages of time and the despoller. man. Nothing save the few faces, now wrinkled and care-worn, reminds me of tho time when my heart was in its spring; and the smiles which play upon them, as they curiously gaze Into my face, is a sad acknowledge ment of tho evanescence of this life." It may refresh those Interested in woman's progress and development that Miss Elizabeth Ryan, of San Francisco, practices wholly in the probate courts.'She is the only woman In California who has ever been ap pointed an appraiser of an estate. Miss Edith R. Cleveland Is a practic ing attorney in Vallejo, and Miss Clara M. Cothran in San Jose. There is going to bo a revolution in the way public moneys are kept by state, city and county treasurers. There have been great abuses and bank and politicians have diyided the profits. In the. State of Washington Governor Rogers has been making fu tile efforts to compell a showdown in the state treasury. The supreme court has forwarded an answer to his communication, asking that one of the Justices be designated to co-operate with him in examining the state treasurer's office, and also to count the moneys, under the law passed by the territorial legislature In 1881. It Is stated by those who know that the court has declined to havo anything to do with the examination, claiming that tho constitution, which per- scrlbes the duties of the governor and the treasurer, and which raised the hitter's bond to $250,000, also requir ing him to make tho quarterly re ports of the affairs of his olllcc to tho state auditor, Is a practical repeal of this old law. In Oregon no one expects that there will be a cleaning up of tho state treasury. The handling of the public funds and the management of the Irreducible school fund, which Is loaned out In largo sums to bankrupt politicians, are so complicated and Involve a ring so far-reaching in stato affairs that the unfortunate citizen Is entirely at the mercy of tho gang. The credit of the city of Salem ought tc bo good enough so that any citizen with $100 of unemployed capl- tol could Invest in city paper, and not send all interest to Boston. Dr. O, Hart Merrlam, chief of tho division of ornithology of the agricul tural department, has just made a re port on tho results of his examination of the contents of tho stomachs of hawks, owls, crows, blackbirds and other North American birds that aro supposed to bo the enemies of farmers, He shows that the popular notions about hawks and birds, for tho slaugh- tor of. which many states gayo bounties, are altogether erroneous. Nlnety-fivo per cent, of their food was found to bo field mice, grasshop pers, crickets, etc., which were infi nitely more injurious to farm crops than they. Examination of crows shows that they eat noxious insects and destructive animals, and that al though twenty-five per cenc. of their food in eastern states is corn, it Is mostly waste corn picked up In tho fall and winter. With regard to eggs It was found that the shells were eaten to a very limited extent for the lime. Crows eat also ants, beetles, caterpillars, bug, files, grubs, etc., which do much damage No parent was ever the worse for giving a son or daughter a better chance he or she had. The child may not have made the best use of it, but parents should never ; forget that every human being should be given a chance to make the most of the tal ents God has given and certainly a higher education is the first step to take advantage of opportunities. Lato statistics represent that France must import 20,000,000 quintals or about 100 million bushels wheat or some substitute grain this year. Ncxttospuds.this prophet has great faith in peaches and winter apples as a paying crop. At least, an acre of each should be put In each year and well tended. Hops enough have been saved to make Oregon the foremost western hop growing state, and not enough to glut the market. There is such a thing as too much of a good thing, but there are not too many hops this year. Prepare and put In that acre af fall and winter apples and .some peaches. Lot us make Salem a better home market for city bonds, school bonds and home products generally, and not ship all the profits east. Save the potatoes. If they will not bring a price, they can ,be cooked and fed to hogs and cattle. In that form they are fat-producing material sec ond.only to svheat. Tho Times-Mountaineer says: "By refusing the top thrown to him by the Oregon delegation Mr. Gcer has proven himself no pauper, ready to accept any wind-fall that might bo offered, and be has endeared himself to the people that In case of Repub lican ascendency ho will bo either congressman from the first district or tho next U. S. senator from Oregon." The above is from a Democratic paper. The opposition press has treated Geer l'alier then tho Repub lican press. Tho Republican Sunday Mercury heads his decline: "The Downfall of Egotism," and says: T. T. Geer Is "out and injured." He will get no pap now. President McKinley will notmakcof him a "miscellaneous candidate." Not this trip. Tho Sunday Mercury Is reliably in- formed thut T T- Gecr was pal(1 at the rate of $200 per month and ex penses for his campaign work. If this be true It was probably more money than the man ever -earned be fore In tho same length of time. And still he has tho audlclty to not only "demand" of tho Republican party the bestolllce in tho state for him self, but presumes to parcel out tho Oregon City land ollllce to a friend. On Thursday Geer sent to the papers a letter intended as a play to tho galleries declining the rcglstershlp of the Oregon City land office. The placo was too small fry for a great man llko him. IIo would still bo a candi date for collector of customs, desplto the attitude of the Oregon delegation in congress. On Friday the President appointed Gcer to the otllco of rcg-istcr in the Oregon City laud olllcc appointed him the day after his de clination, CiThls act disposes of Gcer and his egotism, Dotwt tilings first: Restore tho city's credit and make Salem a betto homo market. Yellow fever Is not always brought In from other countries. It some times develops from filth conditions in Louisiana and Mississippi .without any Importation of germs from abroad. It Is preventable Iby cleanli ness und is most speedily conquered by tho sauio means. In Now York the question Is shall the Republicans endorse Seth Low, tho Citizens Union candidate for mayor.of Greater New York. Piatt and Quigg, tho Republican bosses and machine managers, do not want Low for mayor as ho would bo too inde pendent a mar. The leading German paper has the following editerial: "It Is an Insult to the Intelligence of the German people of this city to create tho Impression that the ques tion of a glass of beer is the only issue In which they arc Interested in the coming e'ection. It Is true that the German is fond of his beer but no more so than tho Frenchman Is of his claret, the Englishman of his ale or the Yankee of his appollnarls. Tho first and most important question that is uppermost in the mind of tho Gorman citizens Is that tho adminis tration of the affairs of the greater city shall bo In the hands of honest men and conducted honestly and economically In a broad and liberal spirit. The Germans will see to It that they cast their vote for a man who will give this to them, and at tho same time adopt a liberal policy so as not to infringe upon their per sonal liberty. Personal liberty is one thing, good government another. What the Germans want Is both, but not.a sacrifice of one for tho other, and until all partlc havo placed their full tickets In the field, as well as their platforms, tho German citizens will not decide how they will vote and they have had opportunity for mature reflection. The attempt of any poli ticians In control of so-called German organizations to create the Impres sion chat they can control the largo and Important element in this cam paign is made with the idea of capturing offices for those in control of these organizations. The Gorman citizens have as much Intelligence and judgment as those of any other nationality, and they will use both In the Interests of all the people at large, and not In a clannish splilt." "A Child of the Jago" is a realistic novel of tho better sort, written by an English journalist, Arthur Morrison, aud brought to a third edition by his American publishers, Herbert S. Stone & Company, Chicago. He is compared by the Scotsman to Daniel Defoe, and his labors aro cast In tho slums of London. Here he lived for years among the pooiest and most de graded, and learning the ways- of thought and standards of conduct that obtain among the million or so of slum-dwellers, who are seldom more than half a meal distant from starva tion. IIo saw much, and remembered most of what ho saw, for he is a man of observation. Slim and alert, the quick turn of shoulders and the rest less glance of his eyes Suggests the man who Is always on the lookout for detail. Nor docs ho lack that personal sympathy with the human element in tho criminal, the outcast und the drunkard, which draws ready confi dence in return. And so Mr. Morri son, at the end of Ills sojourning In tho East End, came back bearing rich nuggets of experience. Hi3 time had been chiefly spent in that netwerk of streets which is mapped out In tho forefront of A Child of the Jago. He learned every corner of the district; ho drank swipes in tho public houses; he lived A sick woman can't be very ami able or very lovely. She must say good by to the pleasures of life and to cupid's darts. Sickness makes a women thin and sallow and life less. Her hair lacks lustre, her eyes are dull, her lips color less. Generally she is ijoiibledv.-itli pimples, blotches and erup tive skin ui.c.iscs. These conditions gen erally arise f.uiu one of two causes, or from a combination of both. Either the diges tion is u.it of order and the blood impure, or tht re is w i.akness or disease of the organs distinctively feminine. Ninety -nine per cent of all the sickness of women come; from these two causes, and so ninety-nine per cent, of all woman's sickness may be cuied by the medicines that will cure these CUU-...3. Dr Pierce's I'avorite Prescription is for weakness and disease of the organs distinctly feminine and Dr. Pierce's Gold en Medical Discovery is the best and most widely known remedy for all disorders of the blood, nerves or digestion. Sometimes o;k' is needed ; sometimes the other. It is saf r to take both, and any woman who will do may be assured of the return of per fect health. Moth, are inventions of Doctor R. V.
