Almost every day the papers chronicle the
suicide of some poor unfortunate whose mind
has been enfeebled by dyspepsia, over whose
earthly horizon a heavy gloom has gathered
from the untold and unreliable agOnies of this
cruel complaint. Dyspepsia is one ofthe most
depressing diseases affecting humanity. 1t is
cosmopolitan in its nature-nO country is ex-
empt from its visitations, no family free from
its attacks. There is a balm in Gilead; it comes
in the shape of the PERUVIAN SYRUP. For
years it has been scattering its blessings
abroad. There is, probably, no disease which
experience has so amply proven to be remedi-
able by the PERUVIAN SYRUP as dyspepsia.
The most inveterate forms of this disease have
been completely cured by this medicine, as
ample testimony of many of our first citizens
proves. Sold by all druggists.

THE RAILWAY STRIKE.

The great labor strike seems to have
about spent itself, following, as we said
last week, the track these movements
always do follOw-precedent. Strikers
are eventually driven to the wall, capi-
tai asserts its supremacy, and the con-
dition of the lsboring classes is even
worse than before the frenzied effort to
better their hard lot. The Vanderbilts
of the nation, with dictatorial voice, is
sue orders and make terms which hun
ger and sore distress compel laborers to
accept. The old monotony of toll, re-
lieved only by the pittance paid for it,
succeeds the violence and excitement
that attend strikes and riots, and the
world, with its extremes of riches and
poverty, of industry and idleness, of
plenty and want, moves on as before.
1t has greatly damaged the cause of
the laborers, and abated much of the
sympathy felt for them at the outset,
that the late strikes took on to such an
extent the form of riots, and were at
tended by incendiarism, plunder, and
utter disregard of law and order. 1t is
stated, and we believe, that the dissatis-
J fed working men were not abettors of
these disgraceful acts, but their move
ment being the prime cause or furnish
ing the coveted opportunity for the idle
and the vicious to rise in their lawless
might and work such ruin, much of the
blame will be attached to them, and the
odium that attaches to lawlessness will
be fastened upon them.
1t is impossible to think without pity
of the distress and humiliation with
which hundreds of men resume their
old work at the old wages after so fierce
a resistance to what they considered the
tyrannical demands of employers, who
are attended on every hand by luxury,
while chill penury waits as closely as
before upon their serving men. Think
ing of these things, we feel in our heart
of hearts that it is wrong, oVrong, while
we are equally sure that strikes and
their lawless attendants do not lead the
way toward the right.

OREGON STATE FAIR.

To THE EDITOR OF THE NEW NORTHWEST
Permit me to announce through your
valuable paper that w. A. Luelling has
consented to deliver the opening and
the Hon. A. J. Dufur the annual address
at the coming State Fair, beginning
October 8th. We are always ready and
willing to encourage our young men,
and believe that Mr.. Luelling will ac-
quit with credit to himself and profit to
his hearers. Mr.. Dufur having wit
messed the Centennial exhibit, will
thereby be enabled to make cOmpari-
sons that will be enteresting to all, par
ticularly the sons of Oregon, his adopted
State. We believe his motto is heaven
first, Oregon next-or maybe Oregon
first.
With their usual magnanimity, the
o. S. n. Co., the o. & c. R. r. Co., and
the.O. G. r. r. Co., have rendered half
fare rates on their lines to the fair
grounds; so let there be a rousing turn
out, q grand old-fashioned holiday, a
sociable jubilee, old acquaintances re-
newed, new ones formed-a grand an
nual gala day worth the intelligence
and freedom of the people of this coast.
Come one, come all.
w. P. WATSON, Pres't.

FOREIGN NEWS.

When the Russians reach Adrianople,
the Sultan and government will go to
Broussa, on the Aslatic side of the Bos-
phorus.
GladstOue's magazine article criticizes
the reinforcement of the Mediterranean
garrisons as perfect example of the art
of disquieting and annoying one side,
without comforting the smallest advan-
tage on the other.
There has been horrible massacre of
Bulgarians by Bashi Bazouks at Yeni
Saghra. Not a single soul would have
escaped but for the arrival of Turkish
regulars. The Bashi Bazouks, Circas-
SLAMS, and irregulars treat all villages
they pass the same way, burning, raw
ishing, and pillagiug.

TAXED FOR THE EDUCATION OF
GIRLS,

If any further argument were needed
to convince friends of education and
lovers of justice of the need of women
on school boards, it comes in the guise
of an argument from a school commit
tee man in city of the "Old Bay
State" against the public being taxed
for the education of girls. This is the
way he puts it: "What justification is
there in taking the property of one per-
son to educate the children of another? :?
Clearly there can be none except the
safety of the public, which is the su-
preme law. To educate the voter, who
controls public affairs, so that he can
read and understand tolerably well
what he votes for, this is a matter of
public safety. This will of course ex-
clude the education of girls at the public
expense, until they are made voters"
Should not this narrow-minded advo-
vocate of the aristOcracy of sex be made
school board to woman who can see
that ignorant women are fully as dan
gerOus to public safety as are ignorant
men? That a man could have the au-
dacity to promulgate such doctrines,
name them arguments" and set them
afiOat in the world is both marvel and
humiliation. His mother, unless,
like ''Topsy," he simply "growed, !"
must regret the hour that one imam
child was born," when she reads this
infamous proposition.

The steward of Vassar College for
merly employed man as head cook,
but recently a woman has been put in
the place. Under the last management
the food improved so that it was really
twice as good as it used to be; but 1--WE
blush to relate iD she is paid only
half as much as the man was. Now,
if what she gave the students was
only one-half as good as what he gave
them, the reasonableness of this reduc-
tion would be apparent, Yet such an
act of gross injustice is perpetrated and
permitted in an institution built and
endowed expressly for the benefit of
women. Where can women look for
Justice?

The Montana troops having allowed
Joseph and his band to escape beyond
the Bitter Root Mountains, the efforts
of Howard to overtake them will with
out doubt prove futile. Whether Jo-
seph has been superior in generalship,
or only excelled in activity, the fact of
his complete escape remains the same.
Montana officers and regulars did not
care to interpose their breasts as an i'm
pediment to his advance.

Beecher's sermon upon the strikers
being widely commented upon, he
makes the following explanation: ~
have for forty years, in every conceivable
form, under good report and evil report,
been an advocate for working men and
for the single-handed who are strug-
Cling to rise in the world. At my time
of life men do not change their views on
such subjects. This whole outcry arises
from snatching a single phrase from its
proper connections, and giving it
special instead of the general applica-
ton it had in the discourse. Isaid in
substance: Every man ought to enlarge
his sphere of life and live well and
amply so soon as he could afford it.
When times of adversely come, men
must learn how to come down and live
scantily, working men as well as all
others, that when in this universal de-
cline men come down to dollar day,
they ought not to rejoice or despair;
that is enough to give bread and to
carry them forward to better times"

TERRIBLE FALL From A BALLOON. aero
naut named Frank Hainur, of Warren, Ohio,
made an ascension at Glade Springs near
Abingdon, Va, on the 18th ult, in hot-air
balloon, which proved to be inflated beyond
its strength The balloon shot up into the air
about three hundred feet, and while Hainur
was performing on horizontal bar, hanging
by his feet with his head down, waving a
handkerchief to the nervous audience below,
the patched and dilapidated canvas split from
bottom to top with report that was heard
miles away. No sooner had the gas escaped
than the balloon collapsed and came down
shooting as swiftly as it had darted up. The
ieronaut saw his situation, and quick as light
ming turned himself up and regained his
handhold, and commenced II maneuvre to
dodge telegraph wire and post toward which
he was falling. This he succeeded in doing
striking the ground with terrible force, which
bounced him up to be caught and pressed
down by the balloon. All this was the work
of a moment. The crowd was literally para
lyzed, women sickening and fainting, and
men unable in their horror to move. The
companions of the unfortunate man stood
riyeted to the ground, and not until some citi-
zens undertook TO remove the canvas did they
stir. The man was found to be alive and
conscious but dreadfully bruised and mangled.
He was through it all calm and COOL and de-
scribed his feelings as, descending, he saw
and felt death staring him in the face. Every
thing possible was done to save his life, but
he died during the following night

PoIKnoGRAPHY.-The London journals state
that certain firm of photographers have in
vented new process of reproducing oil
paintings, which is likely to exercise a consid-
earable influence upon the study of art, while
it will tend in an extraordinary degree to low
er the cost of really fine copies of the works
of great masters. The exact nature of the
process is at present secret, but it is under
stood that the first stage in the new art is
simple Photographic negative from the orig
inal painting. The process, however, is
necessarily only mechanical to a certain extent,
as is manifest at once from the skillful imita-
ton of color and the success with which the
tone of the original work is generally pre-
served In the picture already reproduced by
this process the variety of texture and surface
which the hand of the artist has transferred
from nature to the canvas the half tints deep
ening into dark shadows, and also the softest
outlines, are reproduced with fidelity which
has certainly not been observable in any mere
ly mechanical mode of copying. Poikilo-
graphy means the art of depicting in diverse
colors.
