A good story, in which two eistin
guiShed Louisianians and a no less
distinguished Georgian figured some
what conspicuously in a restaurant in
Washington, D. c., was related 10 a
newspaper man. The L~ouisianinns
were Hon. Thomas ]. Semmes and
Mr. James Degendrh, Of this city, and
the Georgian was Hon. Ben Hill, son
of the late senator, and himself a
prominent Georgia politician. The
party were en- route 10 New York city
to attend the centennial Of the su-
preme court of the United States.
On the arrival Of the train at Wash
ington, D. c., the usual time for break
fast was announced, and Messrs. Sem.
mes and party, taking advantage OF
the opportunity thus offered, fastened
to the nearest restaurant. Each Or
dered as his taste and inclination
prompted, and settled his own account.
Messrs. Semmes and Hill attacked the
bill of fare to the extent OF 81. and Mr..
Legendre contented himself with a
seventy-ive cent meal.
Breakfast ended, the three gentle
men each handed the waiter a silver
dolfaT@the exact amount of money
dRe by Messrs. Semmes and Hill.
Twenty-Five cents were due Legendre,
however, and this amount the waiter
returned to him on his tray. Mr.. Le-
gendre had enjoyed his breakfast, and
being in good humor, replaced the
quarter on the tray to tip" the waiter.
The waiter, placing the money in a
glass on his tray, passed it 10 Mr..
Semmes as a gentle reminder of what
was expected Of him. Mr.. Semmes
was, however, busily converting with
his friend, Nh. Hill, at the time, and
in an absent minded sort of way
quietly appropriated the tip money
under the impression, no doubt, that
it was his change. The waiter was
dumfounded, and Mr.. Legendre, some
what embarrassed, beckoned to him
aud dropped an additional quarter on
the tray to soothe his feelings. This
the waiter passed to Mr.. Hill with the
hope that he, at least, had caught
on, and that Mr.. Semmes might finally
be brought to a knowledge OF his mis-
take. But he again made a serioui
error. Mr.. Hill dealt with the tip
money just as Mr.. Semmes had done
in the first instance and the converse.
ton proceeded in the ordinary way.
Mr.. Legendre was already out fifty
cents in the scheme, and was conse
quently not further inclined in that
direction, and before the waiter could
recover sufficiently to explain the
mistake the three strangers left the
restaurant and were on their way to

Epoch,

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness t o robust health marks
an epoch IN the life of the individual.
Such a remarkable event is treasured in
the memory and the agency whereby the
good health has been attained is CRATE
fully blessed. Hence it is that so much
is heard in praise of Electric Bitters. So
many feel they their restoration to
health to the use OF the Great Alternative
n Tonic. If you are troubled with any
disease of kidneys, liver or stomach, of
long or short standing, you will surely find
relief by use Of Electric Bitters. Sold at

THE OPENING GUS on THE TARIFF

THE OPENING GUS on THE TARIFF
Hon. John Minto's able article on
the tariff and the farmers, which
appears in this paper is dedicated to
the republican press Of Oregon, and
they are at liberty to copy it. II
should appear in every paper in
Oregon that favors the protective
tariff policy of the republican party.
We feel just degree of pride in hay
ing among our citizens "a man who
has The ability to handle this ques-
ton as Mr.. Mimic docs, and who is
at the same time himself from the
ranks Of the tOilers, having begun
life as an English miner, and who
is a practical farmer. His words
oughtto have some weight with
labOring men and farmers.
The election this year in Oregon
is both state and national The
most important seats to be lill,d are
those Of congressman ani United
States senator, aud it's imp ,rtant
that Oregon speak out IA plainly for
protection as she did two ears ago
when the state gave Harrison near
ly ten thousand majority. The
congress then elected has fairly got
to work and the republican tariff
bill now under discussion will
probably not be enacted into law be-
fore the Oregon election is held
June 2. This makes the verdict of
Oregon all important. A republi-
can defeat will be a check upon the
good work so well begun and will be
a detriment TO the industries Of the
nation now on the point Of being
revived intoa wholesome prosperity,
alone possible under II firm republi-
can policy. A protective tariff on
wool, hops, fruit aud farm products
generally, is OF vital importance to
Oregon. Let Oregon voters sustain
