The Ore1onian saws:

The Canadian Pacific is going about
its business with great energy. 1t has
unloaded two tea ships already and two
more are to arrive. 1t has established
an agency at San Francisco and is, SO we
are told, to have one in Portland. But
this is not all. 1t is reaching out iato
United States territory south of its line
and is likely to attract a good share Of
business. The Stevens county (Colville,
W. T.) Reporter says: "The Canadian
Pacific people are very anxious to get the
start of the Northern Pacific railroad into
the interior Of the country. They claim
that they can transport our bnllion for
less money than the Northern Pacific,
and are bound to have line of boats on
the Columbia, and branch road from
Colyille 10 the river. An agent of the
company passed through on Wednesday
looking up the field.

AGES OF A MILLION BABIES

If one could see 100000 start on
race, and could follow them through life
this is about what he would see. Near
ly 100000 of them would drop out O.
the ranks by the end of the first year
while twelve month. later the number
would be further thinned by the reduc
ton of $4,000 more; - 600 would
follow at the end of the third year
They would throw up the sponge by twos
or thrses until the end of the AID year,
when it would be found that in the in.
tervening period something like 500, 900
had left the track. Sixty years would
see $4,000 gray headed men still cheer
tuily peSSing away At the end of
eighty years the competitors in this srea,
$50 as-you please" would number ST..
900, but they would be getting more
shaky and "doty' each lap. At the end
OF the n'nety-hfth season only 223 would
be left in the final "ties," while the win
ner would be led into his retiring room,
a solitary wreck at the age of one hun
dred and eight. There is something
numerous in the quaint array of figures,
but they are founded upon statistics care

Rev. Sails the Evangelist saws !:

Our maker has supreme desire for
the happiness Of the hnman race, and has
demonstrated this in making laws that,
if obeyed, will secure the desired result.
Humanity, as rule, are trying to SUBJ
vert these laws. Men seek pleasure in
the qualification Of animal propensities,
and often in SO doing lower themselves
below the brute creation and defeat their
own purpose. Men seek happiness in
the accumulation Of wealth, but a man
may as well dig twelve hours day in
his back yard trying to find happiness as
to seek it in this manner. Fame does not
satisfy. Andrew jackson, when leav.
ing the White House at the expiration
of his term, said: ut is hell on
earth" Lord Bacon, who went to bed
rose famous, died before he was thirty.
seven years of age with expression of
disgust upon his lips that his life had
been Of SO little enjoyment to him.
Robert Burns also died before he was
thirty-seveD, writing: "I.ife is bitter
'oad."

useful in overcoming torpidity OF these or

additional vigor. and enables them the better

Moreover, as they are the channel for the
escape Of certain impurities from the blood,
increases their usefulness by strengthening

morbid conditions ofthese important organs,
they fall into a sluggish state, which is the
usual purcursor Of disease. What then can

No maladies are more perilous than those
which affect the kidneys, and medicine
which averts the peril should be highly

BOSsIsM IN Politics.

The Idaho World under the head oil
packing Conventions" has the follow.
I ing to say upon the subject of Bossism
1t is about time for bosssm in county
and territorial affairs to get lick that
will make it sick, and hide its disgusting
carcass. 1t lisa weak, puny thing, that
puts on bold trout, but can be knocked
out OF time with the little finger of the
party, if it will only make up its mind to
send this sickly but clustering thing out
Of the political arena. Bossism is weak
but long lived-that is it will live an un.
limited length of time if it can escape a
lick from the strong arm of the majority,
and whenever the lick is given, the weak
thing tumbles over and dies, and no
eulogy will be pronounced over tssudden
demise. No one will be kind enough to
its memory to even say it died honored
and respected by half dozen who chung
to it while it lived" Bossism is big
blus.erer in primaries where it has thing
all its own way, for the reason that only
a few of its own kind will associate with
it. The majority of the best and most
intelligent citizens do not vote straight
tickets, and will not solcmnly pledge
themselves to do so in order to have
say in tie election of delegates No, not
by long shot. So it is plain to be seen
that the voice of a county convention,
whose delegates bosssm names, is not the
voice of an intelligent majority of the
party at all times. Men nowaday who
will pledge themselves to swallow any
kind ola dose that may be prescribed
and compounded, before having the
slightest idea what its contents will be,
are getting few and far between. This
change in the sentiments of the people
demands change in the methods of
primaries. Any candidate, of
either party, who secures his nomination
by the old method, ought to be defeated
at the polls.

however, and Is now In such prominence
that in all probability the secret session 50
far as the consideration of appointments,
at least, is concerned, will be abolished

"Oh, don't 90 for open sessions about 30.

tors have often had Ia hold our noses 70
keep from getting sick at the stomach in

sake, ask TO have this whole load OF dirt
dumped on the public"
Now, that is just the reason Why the
public want daylight thrown on the execu,
tive session, and Senator Logan is not far
wrong when he said the public had the
right TO know what was going on in those
sessions.
So the tilt between the Senate and the
President has consolidated the democratic
party around the President If now 1t will
have Effected also the abolition of the ex.
ecutiye session, 1t will have proved another
