To show the decisive character
of Willard, a well-authenticated
anecdote is told of him, regarding
the recent raid on the North Paci-
fic stocks. When Oregon Trans.
continental touched ifty-six, and
its friends became alarmed, a brok-
er rushed into his Office and said;
"Mr. Willard, Oregon Transconti-
mental has struck fifty-six!'"'
"Has it?" said Mr.. Willard. "Then
buy me one thousand shares"

A cABLEGRAM of the Cd says:
The breach between the govern
ments of France and Germany is
widening every hour. There is a
journalistic war Of increasing bit
terness. The Englise government
holds aloof. The diplomatic in
trigues for an alliance between
Russia, Denmark, Sweden and
Turkey, in opposition to the Aus
tro-German league continue. The
visit of the car and czarina to
Copenhagen will bring together
the prince and princes OF Wales,
the king of Greece and the king
of Sweden as royal family party,
but the meeting is intended as a
counter demonstration to the gath
ering of princes around the en-
peror of Germany at the autumn
maneuvers. 1t is reported that
the prince of Wales favors an An
glo-Russian alliance. Public feel
ing in Germany is further exas-
perated against France by COM
plants of ill-treatment of German
residents in Paris. An incident
occurred on Wednesday in the
gardens of the TuiIeries at a cir
Gus, the owner OF which, Herr
Opitz, was uniformed as an old Of
ficer of Uhlsns, VINO had served
against France. The crowd
mobbed Opitz, and threatened to
destroy the circus, which was
closed by the police. Opitz ap-
pealed to the German emb assy
the French foreign Office that such
demonstrations and attacks on
German subjects produce strong,
irritation in Germ any.

probability Of China and France
avoiding a conflict. Both powers
desire to avoid conflict, but the
underhand tactics of the Chinese

France into open hostility, and, if
it is true that the French admiral's
demonstration before Canton was
to bully China, instant war will
follow.

ASTORIA, OREGON:
One Cause OF IL.

The expense of living to-day is
one of the main reasons for
strikes and labor troubles.-Port-
land Standard.
THIS is so. Our social re
latlons are proportionateiy dif-
ferent from what they were a
generation ago, and that periods
of discomfort occur now in our
sparsely settled condition argues
gloomily for the prospect when
the country shall become more
thickly settled.
We are SO far creatures OF habit
that we drive on along certain
lines unless something pushes us
of them. We once had the habit
of saving; we have been driven off
that line by several conspiring
forces. One of them is the
abundance of natural bounties
given to this people. Along with
this goes the effect of numerous
suddenly gotten fortunes, and the
large gains that have come from
trade, invention, and the rise of
real estate. A multitude of peo-
pie becoming rich in a few years
have set an example of free spend
ing, which has been contagious.
Our democratic society has done
the rest. We must all ride in
parlor cars, sleep in frst-class ho-
tells, wear good new clothes, have
Queen Anne houses and furniture,
because each of US is as good as
another, and there must not be
any external evidences of our
being poorer than our neighborS.
So it has come about that many OF
us reverse Wesley's rule and read
it. "Spend all you CAM for it is
only by the largest possible spend
ing that we can "keep up appear
ances."
The growth of vast fortunes
might have been expected to
break up the race for equality, for
surely the millionaires must easily
keep ahead of the rest of us; but
a close observer sees that we re-
seEt this distinction, and that a
protest against great wealth, with
its special privileges, is at the
heart Of the anti-monopoly feel
ing. We got 1t fixed in our heads
that we must be socially equal,
and we tried to vindicate our
principle; and we are deeply ag-
grieved because a few hundreds or
thousands of families have gotten
beyond the reach OF our purses.
So it has come about that oar no.
tions of what we need to spend
are socially regulated 1t is not
our idea of comfort, conceived by
ourselves, but the social standard
of comfort that rules in our feel
ings. We are unhappy if we can
not keep up with others; if we
must not have what they have; if
we must openly show that we are
getting shabby and out at the ell
bows. Most of the fathers would
have laughed at such griefs as
those from which their children
suffer, not because they were
coarse creatures, but because they
had not the habit of measuring
happiness in social measures. We
have this habit, and it has sup
planted the habit of thrift which
our fathers had.

needed question, that of estab-
fishing a uniform standard of

proposed divides the country into
belts of fifteen degrees each, each

degrees west of Greenwich is pro-
posed for the eastern roads.

FEEEroRr, o., August ga shocking &C
cident has occurred at Saxon station, this
county, by which q child was burned to
death. August I.oudenslager and wife had
both gone from home, leaving rwo boys,
aged six and four years, and q baby one
year old, in the house. The boys built
fire outside with boards and sticks, but il
hot burning fast enough to suit them.
they poured on coal oil. The flsshing blaze
caught the dress OF the little one and
burned ft 60 Death.
The boys carried the child into the house,
dressed II with clean clothes, and placed il
on the bed. They then went to the station
and told George Davis that their baby was
desd. In answer to inquiries they
replied: ''Oh, il died in moth.

Ssxonburg, three miles distant, and called
at store. When the mother returned
home and found the babe dead and the
boys gone she was frantic with grief, think
ing that probably the boys had met with q
similar fate. Later they were found at
Hannahstowp, several miles distant.
