Fat Your Rlack-Bird.

1t is the season of the year when
about the one half of the voters OF
our country, great and glorious as
il is, partalle of IL large and juicy
feast of Crow.
1t is not because we are naturally
fond of the dish, as a people, that
it is eaten, Oh no! we eat it mostly
because we have to.
When the member of one pol
itical organization gets left in his
anticipations of the result of an
election, and is not feeling well,
and wants to retire to some place
whore he can enjoy season of
quiet, ii is Il matter of courtesy for
all his friends on the other side to
seek him out and seize him some
where between the ornamental but
tons of his coat and the larynx,
wherever that is, and cram him so
full of crow that the blamed stuff
oozes out through his whiskers,
and gushes from his ears and fills
the circum-ambient air-We guess
that's its name with its pesky ef-
iluvia
When a man is thus filed up
with crow he goes home, and re-
tires to his chamber, and quietly
takes about quart of castor oil
and six ounces of assafotida to
eliminate the gorge from his stom-
ache. Pending the action of the
physic, he desires to die, loses all
interest in his family and wants to
murder his motherinlaw.
The homicidal mania is present
in most all cases and is directly at
tributable to the highly indigesti-
bic nature of the stuff and its effect
on the circulation.
1t also inpairs the social stand
ing of the victim and fills his mind
with a sort Of don't care a-pos tage
stamp-for any one.
Why is on record that Il man
out west, who was of a naturally
kind disposition, was once filed up
so full of crow that he pulled
his pocket gun and transformed a
flourishing hamlet into grave
yard quicker than our office hoy
can pronounce the word scat. Our
advice is, that when you find your
system has taken on all the crow
that you can stand, you buy rail
road train and seek some secluded
spot where elections are unknown
and the bird of sable wing is heard
of "Nevermore."
If you want your friends to ne
glect you-and you do that is
those who want to fill your hash
with crow, just leave |
and let no mortal know whittier
you nave JOufDeyeu.
But if the sta tie of your finances
will not permit your absconding,
why don't be to familiar with any
body, but eat your crow just as if
you were fond Of the stuff.
When you go home you can
tn row the cat out of doors, using
her tail for IA handle, kick the dog,
or smash your wife on the jaw for
asking you how the election has
gone, and if she has been well rails
ed, and is truthful, she will tell her
friends she is suffering with the
tOothache.
But in all things be careful or
somebody will suspicion that you
lon't like crow.

THE cause of tariff reform has
received a great impetus in this
campaign, and the result shows
that no person of sense believes in
high taxation that is not needed
for the purposes of revenue, and
we will see if the g. o. p. will dare
to increase the rate in the face of
the returns.

THE corn raisers in the lower
grounds along the Hooking river
have been having a hard time of it
this year. The crop itself prosper
ed wonderfully, SO far as growing
was concerned, but the floods did
great damage. Just as il had at
tanned its growth, a great food de-
stroyed hundreds of acres of it.
The tremendous rain Of last Fri
day afternoon and night caused
the overflow of low grounds and
submerged the shocks, necessarily
doing il immense damage.

THE acknowledged financial
failure of the Ohio Centennial EX-
position, Notwithstanding the fine
weather and low railroad fares,
should serve as a warning to future
undertaking of the same kind, to
keep politics out of them. 1t was
conducted in a shamelessly partisan
manner and we are credibly in
formed that it required Republi-
can endorsement before any per-
son could get employment in con-
nection with it, The taxpayers Of
Ohio will now be called upon to
make up a big deficiency. The
Democratic members of the Legis-
lature will probably hesitate about
voting the deficiency. at least
they ought to demand an investi-
cation and exposure of the partisan
management before they vote n
dollar. The State Board Of Agri-
culture, supposedly IL nonpartisan
body, has been stuck for great
sum of money, and one which
threatens TO bankrupt and greatly
hamper its usefulness. Politics
and public exhibitions should be
kept separate. The Cincinnati Ex-
position was tarred with the Col
umbus stick, and ii, too, has an
enormous deficiency. The moral

encies ought to be obvious.--Ohio

Canadian Money.

There is much talk in Northern New Eng
land at this time as to the liability of the
national banks for violating the law by pay
ing out Canadian bills. Congressman Nc
Kinney of New Hampshire, writes to the
Manchester Union hat he has had occasion
to interview the commissioner of internal
revenue, at the request of one of the Man
chester banks, with reference to the applica-
ton of the law providing for the taxation of
Canadian bank bills. The commissioner as
sured him that where banks receive Cana
dian money on deposit and return it to Can
ada for redemption, they shall not be con-
sidered as circulating it, and will not be liza
BILE to a tax but where they pay it out to de-
positorS, or in the ordinary course Of bust
ness, or send 1t to broker for exchange
they will be liable to the 10 per cent. tax.
This explanation, coming directly from the
commissioner, whose recent decision has
awaked widespread discussion, would seem
to afford clear and definite settlement of
the question.

services. Fifteen young men have confessed
faith in Christ, and as many more have re-
quested prayers since the first of January.

! Samaritan Association.

On Sunday. March 4th. the Samaritan As
ISOLATION will have completed sixty years of
charitable work. There is probably no So
ciety in Portland that has done more work
than the Samaritans, but money is needed
to continue the good work and in order to
to raise some they will celebrate this ami
versary with a grand ball when the dance of
the Bayadires and the Fisher Girls will be
repeated through the courtesy of its mana
gers and the kindness of Mr. Gilbert. There
will be other attractions announced later and
it is expected that this will be one of the
events of the season. The ladies will call
upon the public for assistance and they will
undoubtedly meet with ready response.
The dances given by the Samaritans have
always been especially enjoyed, and this will
be one of the real old time good times. All
Objectionable parties will be kept out and
Gilbert will furnish the music.
