Your timely and we'll chosen editorial

equally as good Democrat IL we ever
expect TO GET centeol Of the stat, as .

matters asias and, shoulder 70 shoulder,

Democratic principles have atosd the

While in Albany q few days ags
looking at the sights in that city Of
manufactures and workshops, we visit
ed the SEA Lion Polish establishment oi
Mr.. ii. Kenton. Mr.. X. deserves great
credit for his discovery and the skill,
energy and perseverance, he has display
ed in the manufacture Of that Justly
celebrated pslish. The polish is MANI
factursd from Deposit Of sea weed and
sea fosm, Is TO 20 inches in thickness,
and discovered by Mr.. Ken.on.o the
coast near Yaquina Bay. Mr.. K. has
Eve acres Of the material, from which
he manufactures the poIish. The process
Of manufacture as shown To us by Mr..
K. was very interesting, and must hays
required much study te have taken the
raw material from It's native bed, that
century's ago was the play ground Of
the sea lion, and produced an article far
superior 10 any ever before offered TO
the public, an article that will bring
back to its original coler the most dingy
metal, and impart to the frest gold or
silver bawble lpster never before at
tained. The sea lion polish should be
in the hands of every housewife in Ore
gep, az they can by the uss of IL make
their glass and silver ware look the
same as new, with but very little effort.

WILL REFTsLIc1ss VoTE ToE HIM ,

OF the fact that the Orsgonian il
point of ability and inAusncs is th'
leading Republican paper Of the state
there can be no doubt. It takes tbs
ring Republican state ticket with bot
little gsAce. Elsewhere will be found
its opinion Of Hermann and Cornelius,
and ths following is it's views Of II. L.
Marston, the nominee for State Treas
urer
"H. l. Marsten, tho nominee for
State Treasurer, Is unknown except az
one of the Yambill members who mis-
represented his county aad violated his
pledges by his course ia the lsgisIatirS
Of 1882. Immediately after the ad-
journment of the legislature he found it
desirable to smigrats from Yamhiil to
Umatills, and being known to the bosses
from bis service to them in the legisIa-
ture as above mentioned, he was selected
az their candidate for Treasurer when
it was found that this nomination must
80 to Eastern Oregon"
Speaking Of him in subseq uent issue
that paper says:
"If elected he will be under control
Of the sans PARTIES who have 50 long
been making profit ont Of the state
funds in one way or another,or directly
deing business therein. Perhaps the
time will come when the people Of Ore
gon will ask why it is that an Office
whose lawful salary is $500 year
should yield emolumsnts amounting to
$4,000, through methods which ths
law dcss not recognize, and why this
system should be permitted to continue,
for corruption aud decentralization Of
politics and public affairs. But perhaps
the inquiry will never be efectually
made till defaIcation Of enormous
proportions shall stop that traffic in the
fnuds of the state which has been going
on for many years."

Ii 10 Of vital Importance to the full
development Of tie material resources
Of Western Oregon thar the government
improvements at Yaquiua Bay should
be pushed vigorously to final mpIs-
tion. The Willamette Valley is par
ticularly interested in the early CON-
pIetion Of this work. We SEQ no reason
Why our Senators 10 Congress should
not put forward some earnest Efforts to
raise the amount nsw provided for in
tho river and harbor bin in the House
from $50, 900 to at least 100000. This
il small amount by comparison, but it
is Of material consideration in the way
Of pushing this work to an ultimate
completion. We hope Senators Mitchell
and Dolph will give this matter their
serious consideration.

For the Democratic Advocate.
True Gentility.

Wealth, education and high official and
social position should always go hand in hand
with gentleness and simplicity of manners.
To presume upon the possession Of wealth,
education or position stamps man as base
fellow, and without breeding. The greatest
men are the simplest in demeanor. Only
fools and pretenders assume to themselves
airs. 1t is sure sign of vulgarity in a
man or woman to be airy and self-asserting.
True dignity and gentility never conde-
scends to stoop so low, and, wherever airy
pretention is seen, it is sure and unfailing
indication of want of brains and of good
breeding. An easy dignity and grace, with
a moderate reserve and Difference for others,
are characteristics of lady or gentleman.
Anything else is a counterfeit and may
readily be detected. The greatest of vul-
garians is the proud rich man, who
swells himself out with his own self-conse-
quence and Importance, because of his
wealth, His ostentation proclaims, louder
than words, that his head is empty, however
plethoric his purse, and he certifies all
who meet him that he is yulgarian.

A wonderful Mathematician.

A Kentuckian prodigy, Reuben Field by
name, has but one developed faculty, this
one seeming to take entire possession of him,
driving all other thoughts from his mind.
In early infancy he was apparently much
as other children, but in extreme youth he
developed wonderful precocity, or rather
a supernatural endowment for mathematics,
even then solving difficult problems with
apparent ease and with but little study.
This became a mania with him, and grew
as he grew, to the exclusion of otherbranches
of thought, until finally, without knowing
a single figure or letter of the alphabet, he
became the perfect master Of the science of
mathematics He has been tested by the
most scientific men Of this profession, and
the answers to the most difficult problems
that they have been aDle to PROFOUND are
at his fingers ends, the invariably correct
solution being given in an instant, quicker
than thought As an instance of his re-
markable powers he has been known to
keep more than dozen of clerks busy in
taking invoice of a stock Of goods. Indeed,
his knowledge and application of the science
of mathematics far exceed anything that
the most scientific men are able to compre-
heud. Another phenomenal characteristic
of this man is that he can tell you, without
hesitation, precisely what time it is, to a
second, either day or night. Awakened
from the soundest sleep, he can tell you
precisely what time it is. What Blind
Tom is to music Reuben Field is to math-
ematics, and, like that illustrious idiot, this
one branch absorbs his entire mental ca
pacity

Written for the Democratic Advocate,
BY HANNAH o.wARFIELD.
Contentment of heart and eontentment ofsoul
Is far better than either silver or gold.
Think not of sorrow which is wrought of sin and
shame
But strive nobly to make your life one of fame
Brood not DER that which is past and gone,
Let not your face wear look so forlorn.
Let your face be wreathed in happy smile,
Tho in your heart you be struggling with tenn
pest wild
Cast all your past sorrow away which seems
To haunt you like the shadow of dreadful Dreams
And ere your eyes are filed with tears of regret
Crush the thoughts and say no, no, I'll not fume
and fret.
Speak not your misfortunes and woes,
Keep your thoughts to yourself, tho your heart
o'erhows,
For sure I've found it to be forever true,
Speak of your trouble, and the world will think
much less of you.
Look into the future for radiant beam of light,
Tho the present be as dark as midnight.
How soothing it is when your heart is oppressed,
To close your eyes in sweet sleep, and lulled to
rest.
How pleasant it is when your soul is free from re-
sentiment,
And your heart be filled in loving contentment,
And when life's dark shadows and trials be DER,
Well gladly and joyfuly pass to that quiet shore
Where all earthly cares and joys will cease,
And each heart be filled with love and peace.
