Credit Where Credit Due.

Henry Ward Beecher once
dropped into a village church incog,
and heard one of his own sermons
very well read, but without any ac-
acknowledgement of its author. When
Mr.. B. told the preacher who he
was, he received this cool reply:
"Well, Mr.. Beecher, Pm not
ashamed to preach one of your SER
mons anywhere"
1t is noteworthy, and the JOUR-
NAL should not complain of the inn
piled compliment, that the Pendle-
ton Tribune is not ashamed to print
one of our editorials, double loaded
at that, but without giving credit to
this paper for the screed.

The Fair Thing.

So far as it goes, the State Board
of immigration has done a just
thing towards an indefatigablepub-
lie officer who is acknowledged to
have voluntarily done an immense
amount of work far beyond the pre-
scribed duties of his office in obtain
ing the passing of influential per-
sons through the state, on tours of
observation, the very best advertise
ment it could have.
We clip the following from the
News:
A communication was read from
Hon. E. B. McElroy, giving a de
tailed account of his work in San
Francisco during the National Ed
ucational Association. The letter
went on to say that the writer had
received from the following bodies
the sums named.
Portland Immigration Board 500
Albany Board Of T1ade----------------- 25
salem Board of Trade---------------- 25
Oregon Board of TTade--------- l5
Northern Pacific Rail oad--------------- 25
Total---------------------------------..SI9O .SI9O
He has made disbursements to
the amount of $491, or an excess of.
$241 over the sum received by him.
Of this deficit the Salem Board of
Trade had reimbursed him to the ex-
tent of $50, leaving him still out of
pocket $191. In this condition he
desired to refer the matter to the
board for their consideration.
On motion of Mr.. Corbett the sum
of 500 was ordered paid Mr.. Nc
Elroy, and the Secretary was in
structed to issues a warrant therefor.
We have not received the slight
est hint from Prof. McElroy or any
of his friends about this-indeed we
plead guilty to having forgotten till |
reading the above report in the
News that we had ever known that |
he was out of pocket. And we ask,
simply in aspirit of justice, what
should be done about the other
ninety odd dollars?. He ought to
be reimbursed every cent of it.

Authenticity of the DIARY"

DOAAiiy WI l.
l must revert once more 10 the
question of Kaiser FrPderick's Diary.
From information in my possession,
which reaches me from a trustworthy
source, ! can affirm positively that
every word Of the Diary is genuine.
Moreover, people are entirely on the
wrong track about it. The real state
of the case, for which | can youch,
is as follows: It was never either
Autographed or printed Or destined
for publication. Even the Empress
Frederick herself had never e it,
and knew nothing whatever about It's
publication before she read il in The
DeutSche RundScha@. On the other
hand, one of the late Kaiser Frede-
rick's most intimate friends, who
was with him during the Franco
German War, did see the Diary, and
says that every word that we have
o read in the Deut8che RmldSchau
is genuine. He has, however, no
dea what became of it after lie saw
it, nor how it came into print. 1t is
OF no use arguing from what seems
likely or unlikely to have been in his
late Majesty's Diary. What | have
stated above is beyond question, for
it emanateS from an unprciudiced
person who read the original
Daily telegraph.

Canadian independence
Threatened.

Toronto, Oct. l.
The subjoined despatch, signed
Eraslus Wiman, was handed in to-
day at The offices of the Toronto
newspapers. A request was Sub>e-
q%uently made that il should be sup
pressed, and this was complied with
by all The journals except the En-
pire, which published the document,
commenting severely at the same
time on the conspiracy against Ca
madam interests, which it appeared to
disclose. The message ran as follows:
"New York, Sept. %.
II deem it my duty to say that in-
formation from Washington has
reached me OF a reliqbIe character,
to the effect that the Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs have dur
ing the past few days, in furtherance
of the views of its chairman, Sena-
tor Sherman, been discussing the
question of inviting the Dominion of
Canada to join the United States.
So far have matters progressed that
it is not at all unlikely that a reso-
luton will be reported for the con
current action Of both Houses declar-
ing it to be the duty of the President
TO open negotiations with Great
Britain, looking to political union
between the Englishspeaking nations
on this Continent. The condition
attending the invitation to Canada is
understood 10 be that the United
States would assume the entire Debt
of the Dominion, estimated at three
hundred million dollars. CONNER
cialunion was urged as The basis Of
the proposed negotiations, on the
ground that, while a majority might
be secured for it, only a small minor
ity favoured political union, but the
sentiment of the Committee was so
strong in favour of proposing at first
political union hat it was impossible
to contend with ibid.

A Modern Rival of Tell.

In the forest of Esterel man and
woman were at work recently, and not
far off babe-an infant six months old
was lying in its cradle, which had
been moved to the front of their cottage
in order that the little cherub might in
hale the fresh air under the watchful
gaze of its parents. Suddenly a noise
was heard and an enormous eagle,
swOoping down from the cerulean sky
seized the babe with beak and claws
began to soar once more toward the
sun, when the distracted father, rushing
madly to his hut, took up gun. With
out moments hesitation the man
pointed his weapon at the cruel bird
and fired. The eagle dropped earth
ward as dead as door nail and its slay-
er now achieved another feat which
would have won him any amount OF Ap-
plause at Lords. He held out his hands
and caught the child as it fell, the liMle
one escaping without SO much as a
scratch and returning from its journey
into mid-air us "bright as button"
So Tell of immortal renown has rival.
The only drawback is that skeptic
has limited that if it were carefully ex-
amined the majestic bird may prove
after all to be only canard.-Psr:s

ORIGIN OF PETROLEUM.
The Plausible Theory Advanced by . Dis
tingushed Russian Chemist.

The Plausible Theory Advanced by Dis.
tinguished Russian Chemist.
The origin of petroleum has been ex-
planned both on the organic and morgan
ic theory. The commonly accepted view
which is held by many American geolo-
gists, is, that it has been formed by the
distillation of organic remains by the
internal heat of the earth. Others con-
slider that it has been formed directly
from it's elements by chemical reac-
tions, and that its existence is in no
way dependent upon the organic re-
mains of former geological ages. Pro-
fessor Mendelejef, the distinguished
Russian chemist, has recently advanced
a theory of the inorganic origin of Pc
troleum which is of considerable inter-
est. Briefly stated, he believes that
in the interior of the earth iron is
present in large quantities, com bined
with carbon in the form of carbide.
Now, when water from the surface
reaches this heated carbide Of iron the
oxygen combines with the iron, re-
placing the carbon, which unites with
the hydrogen, forming the hydrocar-
bons OF which petroleum and natural
gas are principally composed. The
most important practical point Of this
theory is, that, If true, the formation of
these substances may be continually
going on, so that we need have no fear
of the supply becoming exhausted.

Marvellous Brute sagacity.

In Vanderburg County, Indiana, the
other day, horse was standing tied
to q fence, when drunken man delib-
erately plunged his pocket-knife into
the dumb brute's neck. The cash was
long one, and quite severe, and the
blood flowed from the wound profusely.
The horse writhed In agony, and in
its struggles broke the hitching rein
and ran out OF the lot. The horse kept
up its speed down the road until it
came to drug store. The animal
stalked into the store and went rs far
back as the prescription case and set
up a most pitiful neighing, The clerk
was alarmed, but spoke gently to the
animal, and, taking sponge. bathed
the ugly wound in cool water. much TO
the relief OF the brute. The proprie-
tor then sewed up the wound and tied
a band around the animals neck. The
horse was then led back, seemingly
happy and contentsd. The 6ruggis'
is positive In the assertion that this Is
the neatest case OF brute sagaoity on
record, and points ont the blood spots
on the floor Of his store In proof OF the
tale.- Gncinnaf EaaHiver.
