The Evtning Netps Ia the title OF q new af.
ternoon paper, the first Issue OF which APP
poared on the streets yesterday. The saluta-
tory is brief, but pointed. No rash promises
ore made yet there 10 an air about the new
paper which Enthusiastically evidences that T.
has come to stay and IL determined to fill q
field Of afternoon journalism 10 New Orleans
which is full OF promise and where there is
plenty Of room for success. The managers
The Ne,rs are not announced. but II is under
stood that they are gentlemen long connected
with the press Of the city and amply qualified
TO carry to successful Issue the venture they
have undertaken. The first number OF their
paper contains proof Of iournalisticsk skill, ener-
" and ability, which succeeding issues, we are
sure, will even more signally confirm. The
DEMOCRAT extends It's best wishes for the
growth Of the Nescs In popular favor, which, 1t
doubts not, will be everyday deserved.

Having failed In all their efforts to connect
IT. Tilden himself with fraud or fraudulent
practices, thestalwart organs in the West re-
GENTLY attempted to drag his name before the
public In connection with so-called exposure
Of certain frauds upon the revenue perpe-
trated by his brother, a manufacturing drug
giet. The Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
having given the matter patient and search
Ing investigation acquits the druggist Of all
blame In the premises The stalwarts will be
penetrated after awhile with the fact, fully
established in the public mind, that the frauds
are all on their side

The war of the insurance companies on Col.
Dwight 81 Binghamton, N. Y, Is not yet
ended. Dwight, Ii will be remembered, in
sured his life heavily, was taken sick soon
after and died. The insurance companies
claimed that his death was the result Of fraud
and suicide They prosecuted him, sent doc
tors 10 his bedside to see that he died prop
erly, seized his corpse and demanded it's dts
section. 50 clearly. was 1t shown that his
death was the result Of sickness, that the in
surance companies drew off and promised to
nay his heirs what they owed them. Now,
however, after the lapse Of year, they have
begun the cry Of fraud again and demand
that his body be disinterred and examined.
Il is not likely that they believe these stories
u suicide they charge. 1t Is probably only q
shrewd dodge Of theirs to compel his heirs TO

The majority In Congress has virtually de-
ctded on entering into general Legislation by
adjourning over until tomorrow. Thus far
In the session there has been no Monday ses-
sion OF the House, because 1t was deemed In
expedient to afford an opportunity to men,
bers to introduce bills. AS the Greenbackers
were extremely anxious to have certain finan-
cial questions acted upon the action OF the
House may be regarded as some concession
to their wishes. The probability now Ia that
the extra session will be q long one.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Fl. Theilson, Chief Engineer of the
Oregon Pacific Railroad, is now travel
ing in Idaho n akino preliminary ex-
animation of the country through which
it is proposed to build the road The
Oregon Pacific is the name sivan TO a
proposed. railroad from the Union
Pacific through Idaho and Oregon to
the Pacific ocean. Theilson proposes to
examine the country from Boise City
east to the terminus of the Utah and
Northern Railroad, which is now COM
pleted from Ogden to Eagle Rock, on
Snake river, in Oneida county, Idaho.
The Boise Statesman is.confident that
the road will be built at an. early day,
and that not very many months will
elaose ere the whistle of the locomo-
tive will be heard in the valley of the
Boise. The Statesman is perhaps too
sanguine in its expectations; yet there
is scarcely doubt that a road will be
built in the near future to Oregon from
the Utah and Northern in Eastern
Idaho, or from some point on the Cen
trail Pacific in this vicinity. There are
many persons who argue that rail
road from this point to Oregon would
result in positive injury to the town;
yet, unless such road is built, the
Oregon Pacific certainly will be, and
that road, by transferring the freight
ing business now carried on from
Winnemucca to Southern Idaho and
Camp Harvey and other places in
Southeastern Oregon, would injure
business here much more than the Win
nemucca aud Oregon Railroad possibly
could The latter road would open up
large extent of country to the north
west, which is known to be rich in sill
yer and copper mines, and would tap
one of the heaviest timbered regiols on
the Coast, aud make this town the dis
tributing center foralarge extent ofcoan-
try while the Oregon Pacific road would
cut it off from all trade with Idaho.
Therefore in view of the fact that one
or the other Of those roads is certain 20
be built, the people OF Winnemncca
should give every possible encourage
ment to the proposed ro@d to Oregon.

The increase OF exports over imports

as the returns for the present month

a surplus OF exports over imports for
the year Just closed of over $40, 900,

we particularly need now to develop
the vast resources of our country and
to revive our industries. The bonds

fOrtably absorbed in trust funds
or by the money Of dealers, specu-

ing his intended bride at the door and
accompanying her to the altar, walked
thither with the BRIDES sister, whC
was one of the bridesmaids. The bride
appeared to have thought that her in

at the last moment, and she retlreG
into a pew in very DETECTED state o
mind. The ceremony proceeded, and
it was not lntl the Clergyman came to
the important question:
"Wilt thou have this woman to b.

DR.. Norman Kerr real paper before
the Social Science Congress at Chelten-
ham, England, lew months ago, in
which he esAmated the number of per
sons who die every year in the United
Kingdom from their own intemp"ranee,
or from the intemperance of others, at
100, 900. He does not say how he oh
tains these figures except in general
terms, as the result of his own ohserva-
tons, by taking a mean average for
seventeen years Of the returns he tx
amined and III similar expressions. DIR.
Kerr desires that his estimate shall
take the place of one which has been in
use since 1926, and which gave the
number OF deaths each year at go, 600.
He says this figure was obtained by the
following simple method: Some on"
about that time estimated the deaths in
this country from intemperance at
80, 900, and as the United Kingdom had
then about twice the population of this
country, the estimate was doubled to
get an estimate of the number of deaths
there. This process was evidently a
much cheaper one than that which DR.
Kerr wonld have us believe he EN-
plov-d, bu, it yielded smaller results,

By Requ,


One Of the unpleasant occurrences o
this wOrl is the occasional failure OF a
minister of the Gospel to pay his debit,
By the powers that be-, he is sent Il
his charge, sometimes against his ISL
rs, sometimes against The wishes OF the
Church. However, as an obedirnt son
of the Gospel, he goes to his field of la
hor. He has been obliged, as is often
the ca t, to move long distance and
be at no little expense. He has paid
MS last dollar for railroad fare. The
rharge promises to pay it hack to him,
lbut oItener promises than pays.) He
ralls the official members of his church
together. and they agree upon what
they will give him for the year. The
allowance is afterwards endorsed Ivy
the Quarterly Conference.
He is among entire strangers, and
does not want to run in debt the first
thing. but his family must have some.
thing to eat, for as the writer has wit
messed. the llttI' ones cry " Ma. give
me a piece of bread, | am SO hungry
The preachrr goes to the grocer ;.u
ru ire stranger, and introduces himself
as the pastor of such church, all I
..ants to get something on credit, un
il Quarterly Conferences. He has rpa
-on to expect something then, for mel
protesting to be- Christians hav"
agreed t. give him $500 for the year
and have intmaj"d that he should
nav" his pay quarterly. Two or three
months have passed, and up to this
time the preacher has been to the gro
Gerry several times, and to the dry
goods store once or twice.
The first Quarterly Conference is held
and the preacher gets about one half
lis quarterly allowance Cor sometimes
not thatJ II" divides his receipts be
ween the grocer and dry goods man,
but has not enough to pay them both
in full, so he is it'll" in debt.
The good man runs his credit until
the second Quarterly Conference, but
the Church is little farther back in
paying up than before; but they are
going to bring it up at the end Of the
year, He is preaching to Christian
people, and, Of course, they will do a.
hey agree, tor they are able.
The preacher goes to the dry goods
store and gets few articles that II"
must have, and, feeling about as blue
as if he had been dyed in indigo, says:
"Soon as get some money | will hand
it to you"
The End of the year comes at last.
There has been a revival and souls
nave been added to the church. But
the preacher has run in debt and oan't
pay, BECAUSE the church DOM pay him.
Which is the dishonest party-thc
preacher who would pay his debts if he
could, or the church who could pay the
preacher if they would t-re"trol Chris
tan Adrocdte.
