A petition for mail service by water via
Portland, st. Helens, Union Ridge, Pekin
and La Center has been circulated among
the people and somewhat numerously signed.
The change OF route, etc., as set forth in
said petition won1h seem to be every way
desirable for the transportation company
for whose benefit the change is proposed,
but the advantages offered by this change
to the people in the surrounding country
receiving mail at the La Center post Office
are not so obvious to illustrate: The mail
carrier rarely arrives later than 2:3O p. M,
giving people plenty time to come in, trans
act whatever business they may have, get
their mail and return home by night fall;
particularly is this the case on Saturdays,
when the heaviest paper mail arrives, while
by the would-be new arrangement mails
would come in by boat too late for distribu-
tion that evening, and on Saturdays lay
over till Mondays, thus depriving many Of
their Sunday reading, frequently the only
recreation OF . too often lonely, drsary day.
Our present mail carriage is slow enough,
and news from the outside world when it
reaches Ne il comparatively stale, and the
further delay Of day would be like piline
Peliou on Ossa.

date just at the end of the campaign. the
rational presumption always must be that
the charge is false. It is rule which
admits of few exceptions that everything
which can be honestly alleged against can.
didates is brought forward in the early
part of the campaign. Long before the
close the public are in possession of all the
facts. Whatever allegations are made at
or near the clcse, may safely be set down
as campaign lies. And the more serious
the charge preferred at the close of cam.
paign, the more certain is it to be false,
Witness the infamous Morey letter forgery,
which was sprung upon the country on the
very eve of election, and at time when II
was impossible to deal with it properly. 1t
may also be regarded as certain that the
charges against candidates which appear
towards the close of the campaign in
journals which have been conspicuous for
their bitterness during the canvass, are
spurious. And it may be said generally
that it is always safest to distrust any
serious charges which are made at such q
stage OF the campaign, and to put down all
stories which appear the day before the
election as certainly false and fraudulent
1t may be doubted whether votes are Otter
changed by campaign lies, but the Morey
letter showed that they are sometimes
quite seriously affected by such infamous
devices, and therefore it is too much to
hope that they will be given up by parti.
sans and others who have selfish interests

THE FRENCH N1HIL1srs.

1t appears probable that the French
Government will have to deal very seri.
ously with the mischievous fools who have
organized in that country for the purpose
of overthrowing civilization. The truth is
that the Parisian elements which prior to
the war with Germany ruled Frar ce
through the capital, have ever since that
time been casting about for some means of
regaining their lost influence. The mob
of Paris has ceased to be formidable. At
present it is the country districts that gov.
ern the country, and they cannot be bullied
or intimidated. The remnants of the
Commune which have been drifting about
during the past five or six years have ap-
parently coalesced into an imitation of
the Russian Nihilists. There is no longer
political programme. Democracy is
abandoned in disgust, because the rev.
olutionists have discovered that a republic
involves as much law and order as an EN-.
pire. At present, tn srefore, nothing is
sought but destruction. Dynamite is the
creed of the new party. Public institu.
tions and men are to be blown up. Rulers
are to be assassinated. No matter what
anarchy leads to. Anarchy for the sake of
anarchy is the new principle. OF course
If this movement is ia earnest it can only
be dealt with one way, and it is to be
hoped that the French Government will be
firm enough to handle the half.crazy mis-
creants 80 as to extinguish their abominable
scheme while it is yet in embryo.

WINDOW ON THE TARIFF.

Senator Window in a recent speech
failed to throw any bright light upon DO.
htical issues. On the tariff he was partic.
ularly vague and confused. He said
THE Injuries of the nation should bear
" the larger share of the tariff, and give
:" the benefit to necessaries." If he in.
tended to imply that this was the case at
present he is open to the charge of direct
Misrepresentation. He said also, "We
"must not tinker with the tariff by making
"it free trade" Why must we not, if free
trade is proved to be the wiser policy {!
The melancholy fact is that we have been
tinkering with the tariff" for five and
twenty years, only to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT
of few manufacturers, and to the great
and serious injury of the country generally.
We have "tinkered :" with it until we
have killed our merchant marine and our
foreign trade, and built a Chinese wall
round ourselves. 1t is time that this
tinkering was abandoneI but when it is
abandoned the country wi 1nquestionably
move toward the princip,c # free trade.
And if the Republicans do nos want to be
left behind they will have to take up that
issue and make it their own.

THE CRUISE OF THE coRw1N,

During the recent cruise of the Corwin
she found an Esquimaux village in and
about which over one hundred corpses were
lying. All these poor creatures had died
of starvation, in consequence of the failure
of the walrus hunting. And though this may
look like . special disaster, the fact is
that the natives of the frozen north are
constantly exposed to just such a frightful
fate, and that probably no year passes
without bringing death by starvation to
scores of them. They have but little prov.
idence. Their stores of walrus and
whale blubber, seal and sea- oil, are small
and quickly consumed. They are often
reduced to subsist upon boiled hides for
weeks together. When they make sue.
cessful hunt they gorge themselves with
food. But they are almost entirely de-
pendent upon the walrus, whale and seal,
and if these fail them they are liable to be
starved to death in a very short time.
This no doubt is a principal reason why
the northern tribes increase so slowly or

SOW DEAF Murrs CORPUS IDEAS

: 2
There Gan be no doubt that pupils who
learn abstract truths through the medium
OF gesture, which can but describe the in.
effable by mesns Of the visible the infinite
by things circumscribed -often obtain yerv
confused ideas on such subjects. Professor
roman, OF Milan, mentions some striking
cases, illustrating the erroneous impress.
sions produced by such means. Before the
oral method was introduced into Italy he
always felt much difficulty in obtaining
abstract truth. One day q pupil, in the
fourth year of instruction, fell i'll. When
the Professor visited him, he found the
poor lad weeping bitterly, in the deepest
grief that would not be comforted. !" nor
could he be induced to tell the cause of
his distress, the sight of which was pitiful.
The tender hearted master used ali the
arts OF pantomime to draw the secret forth.
He tried to make the boy understand that
he loved him like father, and pointing
to his cassock, showed him that, like his
mother, he wore the gown, and felt for
him as she did. At length the poor child
ventured to tell his secret. Covering his
eyes with his hand in token of shame he
signifed by gestures and repeated it bv
the manual alphabet that he had ,"thrown
up his soul!" ~
He had confused the sign commonly used
to express the soul, with that which meant
sickness. Another time the same gentle.
man found a pupil busily engaged in draw.
ing crosses on a slate and blowing upon
them. He thought this an odd amuse.
ment.
"What are you about ?" he inquired.
The boy signified that he was drawing
ikenesses of spirits.
but these are crosses, not spirits, said
his interlocutor.
The boy was perplexed.
The teachers gave me this sign for the
spirits, he replied, Sand inwardly I al.
ways picture them to myself thus. Z"
Professor Formal states that these an.
swers were to him ga great revelation, u
showing him how widely the best intended
instruction might shoot from the mark, aud
how unreliable was the medium through
which he had taught.
