Locking Up lhe RoandeF'.

The conviction OF Hugh MacEln, one Oh
cbicayo's political toughs, on q charge Of
neriury. has much more than local sig
ptscanee. Men Of the Maekinkind have
aouTisbed elsewhere, and 1t has been
a, almost impossible to bring them to Justice.
Their chosen field Is in the large cites
zbere professional politicians band TO-
eetber and form "ring" or machine.
Men who desire good government ana
nermit these scoundrels to give them bad
Government, have been almost powerless
to dislodse them when at last the public
conscience has been awakened. New
York and Philadelphia are notable cases
in point. Chlcsgo's ring was giowinG
while New York and Philadelphia were
trying to get lid Of theirs. .
Growth israpid in Chicago. What they
do there they do on large scale and drive
with q whirl. When the Chicago ring al
last 20. under full headway it was not be
hind any Of it's predecessors elsewhere FOL
daring and efficiency. The gang prospered
until It became 80 emboldened by success
thati had no fear oil detection. 1t wa
then that the penitentiary doors opened
and the beginning Of the end came N
sight.
Chicago will rejoicsin this achievement
for Mackin and his crowd have bad strong
backing in money and power. ButanOtbel
ring Of the same kind will be formed, OF
the old ring will find new tools aud keeF
up It's work, while good citizens are con
graduating themselves upon theirsuccess
The fac. is that ii good citizens" were
as good as.they ought to be, the "bette'
element as much better as by reason o.
its virtue and intelligence 1t ought to be
professional politicians Of the Mackir
kidney would be scarce everywhere
They live by the suttancc Of their vic
tins. There are SO few citizens who car
find time to take an active interest IN
public affairs that the men who live BY
that kind OF activity run long and prott
able careers before the breakup comes.

Russian Demands.

A despatch of the 10Th, from st.
Petersburg, states that Russia has
entirely rejected the British propo-
sails, and that she will demand the
right to have representative at
Cabul, the capital of Afghanistan,
acknowledged. French diplomats
think this demand more serious
than the frontier question.
The London Standard says that
the draft of the Anglo-Russian agree
ment sent to st. Petersburg, though
not formally rejected, has been SO
condemned in detail that practically
it ceases to be an agreement.
The Daity Mems asserts that the
contents of latest official dispatches
charge the Russians with aggressions
and with the perversion Of letters
and kilograms of correspondents of
daily papers.
The Times of the same date
ominousty declares that 9 something
is wrong
The O6icial Messenger (Russian)
publishes report from General
Komaroff that the Sarakhs are OPP
posed to the new frontier line pro-
posed by England, and that at a
Council of Ministers, it was decided
to support the Sarakhs. Further
negotiations between England and
Russia will be necessary so that the
claims of the Sarakhs may be con-
sidered before the Anglo-Russian
agreement can be approved by Rus
sia.
De Giers is reported to be about
to be superseded by Minister less
friendly to the proposals Of the Bri-
tish Government.

QUEEN VICT0RlA'S BIRTHDAY.

Tomorrow will be the siXty-sixth
anniversary of the birthday of Queen
Victoria, and the event will be duly
celebrated throughout the vast extent
of the British Empire. Foreign ma
tions will congratulate Her Majesty
on escaping the numerous pitfalls in
the path of human life and attaining
another natal day in peace and COM
fort. Much more will they congra-
tulate Great Britain on the prolon-
CATION of the illustrious reign of
Victoria. Great as the Bri-
tish Empire is, there is nothing
reflects more lustre upon it in the
eyes of the whole world than the
personal character of its present
sovereign. Filling her high position
with the dignity Of queen, at the
same time her life is conspicuous
illustration of the virtues that invest
the sphere of woman with halo of
glory. Her court as well as her
household has ever been one where
iniquity as ashamed had to cover its
face. No court so brilliant and so
pure has ever existed on the earth.
In contrast with that greatness which
has too often in the history of the
world been synonymous with wicked
ness, her manner of life, whether in
the great halls of Windsor castle, or
in the modest scclusion Of her High
land retreat, has ever been charac-
terized by a high-toned morality.
The wise discretion which Her
Majesty has invariably exercised IN
the affairs of the state may well be
referred to as a model for the imita-
ton of all rulers. In this respect,
her conduct commands the unquali-
fed respect Of all classes of her sub
jects. In brief, no queen has ever
reigncd in the affections of so many
people, and no woman is so well
known and SO highly esteemed by
the human family, us is Victoria
Alexandria, on this, the completion
of some forty-eight years of public
life in the most conspicuous place
that this mundane sphere has tc
offer to any of its inhabitants.

II. L. Farwcll, of Arlington
Heights, ILL.,, says of silk culture =
One lady, with the help of two
children in picking leaves, can easi-
ly attend TO the entire corp Of one
million silk worms, which, if pro-
perly managed and hatched from
pure eggs, will net larger return
in cash in eight weeks than three
men can make in cotton culture in
tifty-two weeks. Then why not look
for the same rich returns in silk cul-
ture during the coming 100 years
that has crowned the past 100 years
in cotton? Every farm house, our
country over, has its pets of cat,
dog, chickens, ducks, geese or tur-
keys, upon each of which is lavished
more time and money than need be
spent during the weeks feeding of
5000 silk worms on the leaves of
Usage or mulberry, thus turning the
waste leaves of each year into rich
crop of silk.

Seventy-fve men are engaged in
building the jetty at the mouth OF the
| Columbia.
S. B. Barger, of Brownsville, has on
exhibition at the postof1ce OF that cit,
a curiosity in the shape of naturalboa
that has elected the examination Of tn
people in that vicinity. 1t is vim
maple about eight feet in length ha
the curves of an ordinary Indian bow,
and, strange to say, is already strung
with a slender limb that grows out o,
one end into the other SO perfectly
that at first sight it would be quite dit-
ficu:t for one to detect at which end
the limb began. The bow is about
three inches thick and the string part
is about one-ffth of that thickness,
and is strong enough to shoot an arrow
200 yards.
The wheat fields of Yamhill county
are not returning the large yield ex-
pected. Re. crts from seven farmers
living in the vicinity of McMlnvllle,
the garden land of the county, and for
that matter of the willamette valley
show an average yield of a little less
than thirty-one bushels to the acre. 1t
is noticed that the wheat planted IN
drills yielded better tnan that sown
broad cast, and the theory is that pas
turing the fall ,,own grain too late IN
the spring worked damage to the crop.
Oat fields yield immensely, and this in
connection with the large hay crop
harvested, has put Yam county on
a war footing, so far as furnishing for
age for any number Of cavalry horses
is concerned. In fact, Notwithstanding
the somewhat disappointing yield of
wheat, citizens of that county are well
fixed for war-in Europe.
