Sister Mary Hoover.

lIAuAh NesS'N'l
Some Of the newspapers have been ~
ing. Sister Mary Hoover, OF the Bellaire
Commercial, is not married at al, and
doesen't expect to be. We are glad that
Mary isn't married; that is, We are re-
lieyed to know that she didn't marry n
life insurance agent. Since we heard
that our sister had taken such rash
step, We have laid awake at nights, think
ing who OF the two, Mary or her husband,
would have the last word. We conclud-
ed that the same thing would keep them
awake nights, too. Yes, we arc very glad
that Mary did not marry life insurance
agent. II would have been such sad
thing to contemplate one trying to say
more words than the other. Then We
kind Of pitied the man, too. He was such
little bit OF 4 fellow. Mary could easily
have picked him up by the ear and stuffed
him down her breeches pocket; and that
would have been very naughty. Perhaps
it is well enough all around that sister
Mary did not marry that life"inSurance
agent.

ARE runY nEscApINam

An honest official under Grants
administration is now tho exception
and not the rule. No time in the
history Of our country has deyel-
oped such fragrant stealings and
frauds as during the present Presi-
Dental term not even excepting
rascality shown by contractors during
;he rebellion. Frem the intimate as
sociates of the President down to the
lowest under-strikor in the employ
Of tho Government, stealing, fraud
and corruption appear to be the Or
der of the day. And yet the Presi-
dent smokes his little Havana cigar
and exclaims, "Lot no guilty man
escape Well, we don't see that
they are escaping very badly. His
appointees are nearly all stealing,
and none are resigning, or leaving
the country, or being removed from
office; and for the life of us we can't
see why the President is afraid they
will "escape.

THE GREAT CONGRESSIONAL iRrH
LUNCH.

Our young Oregon Congressman,
Hon. J.. f., Lane, acted wisely in re-
fusing to accept an invitation from
the Philadelphia Centennial Commit
tee, during the Holidays, to visit
that city and accept of its hogpitali-
ty, While the most of the Senators
and Representatives who didn't so
home or the Holidays accepted The
invitation, Mr.. Lane remained quiz
city in Washington and devoted his
spare tiino in visiting the depart
ments and looking after Oregon's
interests. And now we will watch
the sequel to this Holiday spree on
the part Of Congress, The question
Of the passage of tho bill appropri-
ating a million and a half of dollars
out OF the public treasury to aid the
Philadelphia Centennial, is now be-
fore Congress aud will be voted on
in day or two, and tho country will
then SEQ whether the nation now
has, at the age Of one hundred
years, a Congress that can be bnbed
from It's constitutional aud conscicu-
tious obligations by a free ride to
Philadelphia and a luxurious enter
tainment. If such is the case then
lot us say no moro about back pay
for our Congressman. Let the board
be supplied for them, if need be, at
the national expense; but we protest
agninst million and hnlf of dol
lars tor one days frolic.
This attempt to wheedlo the mem
bsrs of Congress into the show bust
ness by -wining and dining them, is
as gross an insult as could well be
offered them, and We are much graf
fled that Mr.. Lane so regarded it,
and 20 treated it. If he shall now
vote for the Centennial appropriation
he will do SO on broader grounds
than that occupied by Congress

formation is also asked concerning
officers who have been detailed from

to indicate Babcock without naming
