The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1885-07-10

In reading paper before the Char
ity Conference in Washington the 9TH
er day Charles Dudley Warner re-
marked that the average penitentiary
is very much like a modern hotel,
where persons are lodged and fed for a
time, with the exception that there is
no bill to pay at the end of the term.
Under the sway Of the sentimentalists
prisons have lost nearly all the feat
ures of a place of punishment. Yet
the cost of sustaining convicts in this
way reaches enormous figures, and is
estimated as equal to the interest on
the public debt at its highest point.
Putting these two facts together, it is
apparent that prison reform of some
kind must soon become a pressing
question.

The statue of Gen. Custer which was
erected at West Point a year or two
ago has been taken down and consign-
ed to a rubbish heap. This action has
been brought about by the solicitation
OF Mrs Custer, who was disgusted from
the first with the statue, consideringit it
an outrage on her husbands memory.
The artist had envol led both the like
ness and the dress and arms of the gen.
eral mainly from his inner conscious
ness. The statue represented Gen.
Custer in a. long-ta:led coat and troop
er's boots, with saber in one hand
and a horse-pistol in the other, with
the attitude and air of a dime-novel
hero engaged in the impossible feat Of
externinating, singie-handed, a whole
tribe of savages, while all the real char
acteristics OF the general had been ig-
nored or missed. Notwithstanding
Mrs. Custer had furnished the artist
photographs of the general, together
with the uniform and arms worn by
him in the West, with various informa-
ton as to the generals appearance,
habits, etc., such as would aid the ar
tist in his work. He will probably
never again be seen ny the public.

The Boston Commercial Bulletin
publishes list of fourteen articles of
prime commercial Importance, show
ing the comparative values OF such ar
cles in 1925, 1845, 1855, 1875 and
1885. In order to arrive at a general
average, the writer takes the value of a
ton OF pig iron, in 1926, $50 per ton,
as a. unit, assuming such quantities
of the other articles as, at the prices
of 1926, would amount to a ton of pig
iron. The result is to Indicate that 81
will buy as large quantity of such ar
ticles as S1.35 in 1875, $1.32 in 1855,
81 cents in 1916 and $1.19 in 1925,
Iron is lower than at any previous
date of the comparison, corn is lower,
and SO are coal, salt, pork and cheese.

Soothing Syrups and Popular Rem
edieS.
From the National Review.

From the National Review -
Opium forms the basis of finnumerable
remedies, and very effective remedies,
sold under titles altogether reassuring
and misleading. Nearly all soothing
syrups and powders, for exampl e
mothers blessings" and infants curses
are really opiates. These are known
or suspected by most well-informed peo.
pie. What is less generally known is
that nine in ten of the popular remedies
for catarrh. bronchitis, cough, cold and
asthma are also opiates. So powerful
indeed is the effect of opium upon the
lining membrane of the lungs and air
passages, so difficult is it to find an eff
fective substitute, that the efficacy, at
least the certain and rapid efficacy, of
any specific remedy for cold whose ex-
act nature is not known affords strong
ground for suspecting the presence of
opium. Many chemists are culpably,
almost criminally, reckless, and not a
few culpably ignorant in this matter.
An experienced man brought from a
fashionable West End shop box of
cough lozenges, pleasant to the taste
and relieving a severe cough with won
derful rapiditv. Familiar with the in
fuence of opium on the stomach and
spirits, he was sure before he had suck
ed half dozen of the lozenges that he
had taken dose powerful enough to af-
feet his accustomed system, and strong
enough to poison child, and do serious
harm to sensitive adult. Yet the loz-
enges were sold without warning or in
dication of their character; few people
would have taken any special preeaution
TO keep them out of the way of children,
and the box, falling into the hands of
needless or disobedient child might have
poisoned whole nursery.

Real Bravery.

have among my acquaintance some
very fierce young men. They have the
soul of desperate. though forced to
toll at the ledger or the newspaper
desk for the vulgar and prosaic necessi-
ties of existence. While not doubling
their courage, I am often skeptical
about their thirst for danger. One of
them, a commercial traveller, was at
last gratifed with an adventure. He
was riding on the top of ali Oregon
stage. This is the story:
well, sir. when we came to the top
of the hill we saw two highwaymen go
ing through the pockets of some poor
devil they had captured On the road"
"How many of you were there?"
"Six outside and four inside, and all
armed to the teeth. Now for it, boys 7
said the stage driver, whipping up his
horses, and tell you we dashed down
on that gang in fine style. every man
keeping his hand on his pistol"
'.And of course you captured the
highwaymen
No, stree; we drove by them like a
flash Why, man, we were down to
and by them before they knew what
was coming. Now, that is what call
real presence of mind"
''How? In rescuing the man from
the robbers ?"
Rescue be hanged; that was none of
our business. No, s1ree; in saving the
stage. San Francisco Post.
