Here is choice specimen of "pigeor
English" culled from the Times Of India
A native recently sent present of gos
ling to an English commissioner, with
the following letter: "Honored sir, nv
father was in Bombay the week last and
he bought two goose's pups of the norlh-
west fashion. so 1 beg leaf to send your
honor one. They are not common goose,
but are of somewhat respectable family.
Kindly accept"
In the Volunteer Lieutenant Lewis D.
Green, Seventh United States Infantry,
gives an account of campaign against
Indians and relates this incident:
Some of the command had been in bath
ing, and when ab!utions were about fin
ished one of the group called out; "Any
OF you fellows got brush2" Some one
inquired: "And what do you want of
hrushs" "To fix my hair, of course"
when up spoke another in a strong Ital-

will soon give you a brush and Tx yer

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Washington Republicans have
clear sailing in the approaching elec-
tion. They have party in the min
ority against them, and on the very
unpopular platform of free trade. We
expect to see every candidate on the
Republican ticket elected, and by such
handsome majorities that it will teach
their enc mics some practical common
sense for the future.
The Portland World is getting early
in the field, and has nominated Sylves
ter Pennoyer for governor and Hon.
w. H. Biggs, of Sherman county, for
congress. There is no question that
the Republicans of Oregon will elect
the whole ticket next June, and it will
make little difference whom the Dem
ocrats nominate.
Democratic editors in New York
have been claiming that the public
debt during July and August was in
creased 100000. Secretary Win
dom says it has diminished $2l,OOO,-
900; but then the secretary OF the
treasury may be mistaken. Of course
these Democrats cannot be mistaken
on this question of national finance.
The victory achieved by the strikers
in London was a complete one, and of
which labor should feel proud. A few
years ago the effort would have been
unsuccessful; but public opinion has
advanced very much of late years in
favor of labor, and sympathy will
nearly always be extended toward the
weaker side.
The dispatches state that Mr.. Vii
lard has been checked in his scheme
of s6O,OOO,O0o blanket mortgage Of
the Northern Pacific. Before tie
people will believe that Mr.. Willard is
frustrated in any railroad scheme
there must be indisputable evidence of
the fact.
A homicide occurred on our streets
to-day in a most revolving manner,
and this time it was not the revolver
that did the deadly work, but COM

A meeting of all the isms known

A meeting of all the isms known in
politics was held in Salem Saturday
and platform adopted. The lion
and the lamb laid down together and
little child-a very little child-led
them. The Prohibitionist embraced
the Greenbacker, and these both in
turn clasped in warmest friendship
the Knight of Labor and Woman
Sufragist. This happy family met
and harmonized, and are going
before the people to ask their suffrages.
1t will be very strange if the new
party, by whatever name it may be
known, vote solidly at the next cleo
tion, as such "happy families" do not
agree in perfect harmony for any
length of time.
