but it is not the face Of Grant. That is,
it is not the face of Grant as he looked
at the time of his victories; nor does it
express truly the power and resolution of
the man. The wasting of disease and

to have seen the face. even as it is now.
for in seeing it we look for the last time
upon the mortal semblance of Grant"

Protection for Newspaper Carriers.

Portland carriers held meeting recently
for the purpose of forming some plan to
protect themselves against dishonest SUBJ
scribers. 1t is said that persons in that
city will subscribe for a paper, and when
ever the collector come around will keep
putting him off, telling him to "call again. !"
The collector does ''call again" several
times. but never gets his money, and finally
has to stop leaving the paper. having lost
the price of it during the entire time it has
been left. The newspaper beat then sub
scribes for another paper, and gets it free
for two or three months more from another
carrier, and SO on for six or eight months,
and even year in some cases. The carriers
hereafter will have one common "black
list," which will have upon it the names of
all the above class of swindlers, and when a
man fails to pay one carrier he will never
get another paper from any of them without
paying in advance.

The Senate.

All doubt as to the senate for the next
four years is removed. The election of Ev-
arts from New York and Teller from Colo
RADIO insures the republicans clear majority,
whether the legislature from Illinois respects
the will of the people or not. There are al
ready chosen or to hold over Al republican
senators out of 76, and the democrats with.
out Illinois can get only "a; with the sena-
tor from that state they would have only 35.
But it is hoped by republicans throughout
the country that the splendid services of
General Logan will not be ungratefully re-
paid by defeat The people of Illinois gave
q clear majority for tho republican cause,
aud plurality of over 25, ,000 To defeat a
republican candidate for senator, either
electing democrat or depriving the state
of half its representation, would be wanton
defiance of the popular will. Included in
the list of Al republican senators are Gener-
al Malone and Riddleberger, who joined
with their associates in formally adopting
the republican name prior to the national
convention, who sought admission to that
body as republicans, and were recognized
and admitted by the convention, and who
heartily supported the republican national
candidates. If without them the repnbli-
caus had not q majority, it is possible that
Sshe bourbon democrats would have been
willing to sacrifice almost anything to secure
the cooperation of the Virginia senator's,
though there is no reason to suppose that
any overtures to them would have succeed
cd. But with 80 members, clear majority
of the senate, besides the two senators from
Virginia, the republicans know that their
opponents have nothing to gain by offering
terms to Malone and Riddleberger, and
the savage abuse of those senators by demo.
cratic organs will therefore continue. Tbs
confirmation of Cleveland's appointments
and the power to defeat mischievous leeis-
lation will rest with the republicans of the
senate for two years from March 4, and
after that time they have reason to hope
they will be supported by republican ma.
jority in the house.-N. Y. Tribune.

been passed by the legislature which fixes
the boundary line between Josephine and
Jackson counties, by taking four townships
about sixteen miles of the Rogue river
valley-from the latter, and adding to the
former. A second bill provides that the
inhabitants Of the entire county of Josephine
thus created, shall have the right to vote at
the next June election for the county seat.
There is little doubt but that Grants Pass
will receive majority of the votes. Mr..
Stine will be the pioneer publisher of jose
phine county, as it has as yet, never had a
newspaper within its boundaries. He says
he has received substantial encouragement
from the people Of that section, and be-
lieves his new venture will accrue to his
own profit, as well as to that of the eouu-
try he will represent.

Leave Out Religion.

New York Clipper.
1t is about time that protest be entered
against the introduction of religious characters
into comic plays Many of the foreign plays
here produced are noted for this illadvised disre-
spect for religious convictions and feelings. In
Lotta's .Nitouche" there is much in this respect
to offend. A chorus of girls singing with the
sisters in a convent during the buffoonery of
some of the other characters is by no means a
satisfying sight, even to not over-particular
mortals. And the use of the word ''d-ng'
the perpetration of broad remarks and the in
PRODUCTION of drunk" business, all in the pres
sence of the lady superior of convent, are not
at all to the taste of majority of our playgoers
This too frequent practice is all the more to be
condemned since it would be so slight matter
to make alterations that would in no wise detract
from the situations. In the case above referred
to strictly conducted female seminary, instead
of convent, would have been every way as good,
in dramatic point of view, to illustrate an in
stitution wherein propriety and decorum were
supposed to be the characteristics of the young
ladies belonging thereto. The simple robe of a
nun or sister Of charity is dearly loved picture
in the majority of our hearts, and, however,
much it may enhance certain situations in pieces
of serious and solemn character there can be no
excuse for its introduction in plays where it is
sacrilegiously associated with clownish antics
and farcical lines.
