Court. Take these specimens: Patrick Nc
OaHery: in the month of October, in the So.
preme court, swore to the good moral character

John Ward performed like duty in the Su-
preme Court for 1924 persons; in the Superior
Court for l95 persons; In all, 519 John Mo-
ran was witness in the Supreme Court for 455
persons; in the Superior Court for 299 persons;
In all, 754. James Golf and Patrick. his broth.
er. certify to 666 in both courts.
Patrick McCaffery was one of James O. Bril-
ems deputies, and by him discharged for extor-
ton. John Moran had served term in State
prison. The Golf brothers were notorious
thieves, and both Barnard and McCunn, as
criminal judges, must have known them well.
AS soon as the business of the court was over
james stole watch, chain and two diamond
rings 1t was testified that one of these COTS
had four thousand of these certificates for
sale.
Now, under the act of Congress of 1902 appli.
cations for naturalization must be made in
open court and the court must be satisfied that
the person applying had during his residence
behaved as man of good moral character,
attached to the principles of the Constitution
OF the United States, and we'll disposed to the
good order and happiness of the same;;" and in
no case could proof of residence be made by
oath OF applicant. Now, in both the Superior
and Supreme Courts the applications were nre-
VlousIy prepared out of court, subscribed and
sWorE TO IN court, and before Judge Barnard
no Siai examination was had at all and both
applicants and witnesses were sworn in sonsGs

Each OF these judges must have averaged three
thousand oaths and examined two thousand
witnesses dailyi SMirabile dictu! The armv in
Flanders could not have beaten this swearing.
This terrible picture would not be complete
without brief references to ''false registration"
repeating" and "ba0t box stuffiag." False
registration asd repeating seemed almost TO be
the rule; hundreds registered from houses
where where only two lived; scores from buildings
haying no existence; an army from vacant lots,
stables beer-gardens and houses Of nrostitn'
tion. What picture This a republic? This
Enforcement? When the dlsgraceful story
was published our wnole nation trembIed. no
ruin was predicted in the Euglish Parliament

THE YgeIGHT SIDE.

Look on the bright side. 1t is the right side
1t is sunshine and not the cloud that gives
beauty TO the flower; the sky is blue ten times
where ii is black once You have troubles, 1t
may be, 80 have others. None are free from
them-and perhaps it is rs well that none
should be. They give snew and tone to life
fortitude and courage to man. And let us not
be over fastidious as to nature of employment
We are not placed in this world to enjoy an
endless paradise, but to prepare ourselves, by
honest lives for endless bliss. II we feel dis
satisfied with our lot, which in fact We some
times do-the king as well as the beggar-let
us nobly and manfully endure 1T and console
ourselves with the pleasurable reflection thai
soon, very soon, all cur trials and troubles an6
privatons will have an end. So let us extract
all the happiness and enjoyment we can from
within and without and above all look on the
bright side.
For blessed the hope that's given us,
The peace that has filled our breast
And blessed the thought of heaven,
The home where the weary shall rest.

HINT TO SUFFERERS FROM NEURALsIA.-
Several evenings since was attacked with a
severe dental neuralgia. After resorrinc TO
friction, cold and hot applications, ETC.. without
obtaining any relief, lay upon ny bed trust-
ing that sleep might come and give me respite.
Stiii the excrucating pain continued. and while
| was suffering the tortures of the doublv
dan ned undecided whether to arouse some
tired druggist for a bottle OF chIoroform. or
chop OF my head (with decided preference
however, for the chloroform) suddenly be-
thought me OF what had read of an aunsthetic
which we alN ays carry with us. Thereupop
began to infia. my lungs to their utnos; ca
paclty, and then forcibly blew out all the AR l
could. Immediate y the pain began to lessen.
and after few repe, itions of the process it had
entirely ceased, being displaced by delightful
tickling sensation in tho gums, and further
more l know not, for in lets time than il takes
to tell 1t was sound asleep, awakening next
morning delightfully."- refreshed and without q
symptom Of my ailment left. Hence, you see,
was not simply temporarily relieved but en-
trely we'll again. wish other sufferers would
try this and report results.-Louisvile Medical

Fun AT PIcNIcs.-There ls lots OF fun to be
had at little private picnics, when the party
goes up stream in large boat tc pleasant
woodland. All you have to do is to lug three
baskets Of provisions and box OF croluet to
the boat, and then help row it and get four
bisters on each hand, and then climb tree
covered with briars to adjust swing and work
yourself almost to death swinging the girl who
never seems to get enough of 1t, and then re-
verse the order Of things until you get home.
There is loads of fun in it. Fun? Why it is
Just reekIng with it. New York Sunday Star.

Few OF THE FATAL JEwELs-In all ages
jewels of price ave been a ready incentive to
crime, but not few cases are Oh record iD
which thew have been the agent Of the CRIME,
instead OF its cause. Cesar Borgia possessed
ring with sharp-edged setting, which would
occasionally scratch the hand OF some guest
whom he was greetin with special cordiahty :;
and no one who received this compliment was
ever known to survive it more than day or
two. A similar fatality attended celebrated
decoration much used by two or three of the
Russian Cars. When clasped around the re-
cipient's neck, it's point was apt to puncture the
the skin If awkwardy handled, and death speed
lily followed. One Of the native Princes of
India, when about to fall into the hands Of his
enemies, swallowed a sharp-pointed diamond,
which caused instant death by cutting vein IN
his throat. A diamond in the possession OF a
noble French famlly, which was said to have
caused the death of all its owners in turn, put
the climax to its mahgn influence by ultimat ely
forming part of the famous necklace which
play so fatal part the history o: Marie
Antoinette.

LADIES AT AucTIoN.-Not long ago al church
sociable in Racine, Wisconsin, the managers
hit upon the rather fascinating scheme Of rais-
ing money by putting the ladies up at auction
and selling them TO thehighest blder for cash.
Some OF the young ladies brought fancy prices,
and the receipts swelled the church treasury
almost to bursting, and there was great excite
ment among the bulls and bears OF the marhet.
But the plan has entaled an infinite amount OF
III feeling in that community. One gentle
mems wife, really charming and interesting
woman-what the auctioneer declared was a
most desirable piece of goods, though not divisa-
BILE 30 as to suit purchasers"-was Knocked
down at the Insignificant sum of twenty-five
cents; whereat the jealous husband got mad al
this slight put upon his wife's charms, and
swore like the army in Flanders" at the church
and all connected Herewith. The friends of
the family have taken sides with them, and
the rupture threatens to be serous one for
that church. The indignant husband asks,
How would you like to have your wife sold
for two shillings?" Perhaps 1t is we'll enough to
remind the gentleman that specie payments
have been resumed, and that the prices OF all
commodities have struck bedrock.-Exchange.

To those who imagine that the cause of wo-
man enfranchisement is not gaining ground,
we commend the perusal or the following, from
the Woman's Journal: "The bill in the Mis-
sour Legislature providing for the submission
of the question of Woman Suffrage to the pop
ular vote in 1880, come to a vote on the 23d OF
April, and was indefinitely postponed by a vote
of GA to 81. This is regarded as an encourag-
ing vote. When delegation from the Missouri
Suffrage Association visited Jefferson City last
Winter, they knew Of but one member (Mr
Henry T. Mudd) who would be likely to vote
for such measure. They at least have the
qualification OF finding their friends multiplied
by ffty."

Even the Indians are awakening to the I'M
protance Of the woman question. During the
recent pow WOW at the Umatilla Agency where
in the Umatillas, Walla Wallas and Cayuses
were represented by their chiefs and leading
men, Chief Homily is said to have spoken very
senslbly, and in q manner which many pale
faced sachem would do we'll 10 initiate. He
said that every man must think and act for
himself. and the women also had voice in
their affairs. Under the treaty which they had
convened to consider, every person over eight
teen years OF age was entitled to 160 acres of
land and all children to forty acres, in the
possession and cultivation Of which they would
be protected, free from taxation, for the next
twenty five years.
Now, il the United States will do as we'll by
the taxpaying women Of Oregon who are over
eighteen years of age, they will not only get
themselves homesteads. but will willingly pay
their proper quota of the public taxes. II
Brother Jonathan would only deal half as just
ly by his pale-faced sisters IN property matters
as Chief Homily expresses himself ready and
willing to do, by the proffered aid Of Jonathan
for the dusky matrons upon the Umatia Res
ervation, we know of several hundred women
who stand ready to relieve Portland and other
portions OF the State OF hordes of surplus
Cinnamon, whom they (the women) will set at
work in earnest to improve their homesteads
and raise wheat and other produce for export
There is scarcely white woman west OF the
Rocky Mountains who would not homestead
and cultivate hundred and sixty acres in her
own right, IL she could only have as good
chance as is now offered to untaxed Indian
women upon the reservation without the
asking.-Por.land (Ore.) New Northwest.
