COOP FOR PoRTLAND.-SInce the last
census was taken Portlsnd's population
has increased Z, 900. At this rate the mark
Of 10000 will lie reached by the next Gen.
sus. There Is no reason why it should
not be passed. No city In the country has
proated more from the revivifying infiu
ence Of the general business prosperity
which has set In within nve years. The
scarcity Of rents, the great activity in the
erection OF residences and business blocks,
the increasing railroad traffic, and the gen
era boom in business are the substantial
proofs Of the city's prosperity and sure
tokens Of Portland's manifest destiny as a
great CONNER cial port.-AdpeYfiser.

OxFoRD.-As the great bell on the fac
tory tower pealed forth the midnight hour
the boys turned themselves loose, and all
the air was heavy with the horrid din they
made. But when the boys came TO house
where there were any sick ones, all were
very still; and . more peaceful and good
natured crowd never walked the midnight
hours. A sudden shower caused them to
hush up and run for home The rain con-
tinued all the rest of the night, and showed
no signs Of letting up until past the time
appointed for the Fantasies. This rather
broke up that part Of the show. Over 800
masks had been sold. Still, at o'clock
the sun heheld q molly army assembled
upon the heights above the Keith House.
At the head rode Major General Rekabsam-
ohtdrofIo (try 1t backwards), q man OF
war and bloody deeds, accompanied by bis
staff, among whom we noticed Sitting Bull,
Hole-in-the- Day and other Indian chiefs
their garments all red and reeking with
the blood Of victims slain. Then came

bids our describing the rest, all OF which
was extra good. We must not forget the
organ-grinder and his little monkey, which
the crowd said "took the cake" The
fantasies marched through the principal
streets, which were gayly decorated with
flags and streamers and filed with long
lines OF happy but muddy people. After
wards they dazzled Welchville by the hid
eous splendor of their parade. For many
decades Oxford has been justly famous for
the beauty Of her maidens and for the
matchless bravery Of her men. The fair
ones proved that their goodness Of heart
was only equaled by their beauty by pro-
viding . plenteous repast for the weary
war-worn warriors when they returned
from their labors done. Our young men
have . natural genius for slowing away
grub; and the way they stuffed out their
pale skins with pie on this occasion Is in
credible to those who failed to see 1t.

WARWICK'S WAYS.
Something Personal About the
next Lieutenant Governor.
His Integrity IlIustrated-The Story About
His Calling For Troops to Sup
press the Miners, Lie.

II want to say" said Mr.. s. G. McDOn-
aid, an old gentleman in the coal busi-
ness on Ohio street, to a Plain Dealer
reporter, that l have known John G.
Warwick since he was a boy, and the at
temDt of the Republicans to turn the
workingmen against him is an outrage.
There never was better friend to the
miners and the wOrkingmen than John
G Warwick. | lived in MassillOn many
years and knew him intimately. He be-
gan life there poor boy without cent,
and because he worked hard and was
honest, he got enough ahead to start
store along with partner named Pithey.
They made some money, when Pithey
stole all the money of the firm and the
accounts and ran away. Warwick sent
for the creditors of the firm and told
them how matters stood, and gave up
everything he had. They trusted him,
and gave him credit to make another
start, and he paid off every cent the old
firm owed. | tell you there never was
an honester man than John G. Warwick,
and want you to say So"
The reporter said he would say so.
81 can tell you something mOre," said
the old gentleman, that know of per-
SOnally. When the miners were out on
their great strike, and many of them
had no money, he let them have goods
from his store without question, and
never refused any one and never asked
payment. He gave away thousands of
dollars to the miners that way that
know of. He was always the best kind
of friend to the wOrkingmen."
"HOw about the charge that he asked
the Governor for troops to come there
and put down the miners when they
struek?"
''He never did anything of the kind. /
was there then and know. There were
some lawless characters there then, as
there always is at times of great excite
ment, and there was danger that the
property of citizens would be destroyed,
John G. Warwick joined in a petition
with other citizens, asking for a guard
to protect their property, but he never
asked for soldiers to suppress the mi
neTs."-Plain Dealer.
