or INTEREST TO SETTLERS.

1t will be of interest to settlers
on Government land to know that
there has been a change wrought
in the character of final proof re-
quired by the land department at
Washington. Most settlers will
remember Mr.. Sparks, the commits
sioner of the general land office.
whose regulations haye caused
many a better manst than himself to
incur needless expense and great
privation in trying to fulfill the
requirements of the homestead
law, as he, (Sparks), in his wisdom
saw fit to interpret it. The chang
es in final proofs as now required
consist mainly in> reducing the
number of questions and. abbfevi-
ating them so that while the an
swers will contain the substance
Of the Sparks proof, they will not
require nearly the time formerly
consumed IN submitting the testi-
mony required. This reduction Of
time will result in saving MARY a
settler needless expense in keep
ing his witnesses and remaining
himself at the land office or county
seat day longer than is necessa-
ry. Mr.. Sparks may have irnag-
ined that his regulations would
prevent fraud in taking land for
speculation or otherwise; but it
does not require muchreflection to
convince one that a speculator can
answer any questions propounded
to him by the government as glib
ly in long technical proof as he
can in a briefer one.

The West Shore calls attention
of the people of Oregon to the fact
that if this state is to be properly
represented at the Worlds Colum-
bian Exposition it will have to
begin preparations at once. TO be
sure, at the last moment we can
gather a few hanifu}s- of grain, a
few wisps Of grass and a few boxes
Of fruit, which, with dozen or so
chunks of ore and about a score of
square blocks of wood, will do their
duty as representatives OF the great
state Of Oregon; but, however sat
isfed with this kind Of alb exhibit
we may have been in the past, it
is to be hoped that there is within
the wide limits of the state no one
who imagines that a display OF
that kind will be acceptable in
Chicago. 1t will take time, money
and brains to make such an exhib-
it as will attract the least attention
in that grand collection of the pro-
ducts and attractions of the world,
and the sooner this fact is realized
the better. An organization ought
to be made at once for the purpose
Of managing the exhibit in con-
junction with the state commits
sioners and of properly employing
the time, securing the money and
enlisting the brains. Bear in. mind
always that a display to attract
attention must be novel, interest
ing and large, containing features
that appeal both to the eye and
mind.

Two years ago, says a New York
dispatch, gold bars in the assay
offices of this country amounted to
100000; now the amount in
store is only s32,5cO,OO0. These
figures are being used by goldite
journals as an argument against
the reconciliation of silver. 1t
does not seem to occur to them
that silver is still g. commodity.
and that this alleged withdrawal
of gold cannot be charged up
against silver. Before the agita-
ton of the silver question the flight
of gold to the old world was attrib-
uted to the balance of trade being
against us, and then we howled for
more protection.

SOME one recently made Mrs.
FL arrison a present of a summer
cottage, and a. howl of protest went
up from the democratic camp
against her accepting it. When
Mrs. Cleveland was in the White
house, some one presented her with
a COW which she accepted without
one word of protest being made.

THE Spokane Falls Review says:
The roll-calIs of congress show that
there are about a hundred repre-
sentatives absent from the capital
looking after their political fences.

remained in Washington. to, look
after the appropriations for his
state, many of these congressman
hold seats for close districts. in
which political competitors mani
fest a very lively disposition and

prove foremost to- those OF their
constituencies.

WHAT THE CENSUS FINDS.

| The census finds forty-two state.
n the Union instead of thirty
light. 1t finds the national deb
'educed from over $2,12O,OOO,OO(
o less than 81, 1,7OO,OOO,OOO and the
rational revenue larger than ever
before.
In the largest cities, where four
md five story buildings were con
'idered enterprising for hotels and
'ffice structures in 1880, 1890 finds
giant houses thirteen and fourteen
stories in height, sky scraping af
fairs, with elevators running to the
top. 1t finds the new houses fitted
with steam and hot water heat
instead of fires-a house at a sum-
ner temperature the winter
through, with never a hint OF
smoke, dust or ashes about it.
Great natural gas fields, unknown
in 1880, have gwen a new impe-
tus to industry. Telephones ena-

The modern apartment house
has revolutionized the way of liv
ing of the poor people in cities.
With the bath room, the electric
bells, the dumb walters, the neatly
finished Light rooms, the man who
can only pay small rent has more
conveniences than the millionaire
had generation ago.
The new census finds electric
lights where the last census found
gas and kerosene. 1t finds electric
and grip cable roads where 1880
had clumsy, old fashioned omni-
buses and horse cars, 1t looks
along 100000 miles of glittering
railway tracks, girdling and criss-
|crossing the country, where 1880
saw only 90, 3,349. In the last ten
years steam has shortened the dis
tance across the ocean by nearly
a day. The new census beholds
the first fruits of that gigantic CO.
Operative idea which is the distinc-
tive feature of the last quarter of
the nineteenth century, and born
of this idea the development of
such colossal industries as history
never recorded before. 1t sees
such mining and manufacturing
enterprises in the south as nobody
dreamed possible before now. In
brief, it will see a new south out
and out. Another fact it will meet
will be $15O,O0O,OO0 cold cash
from Great Britain invested in
industries in the United States,
where the movement had hardly
begun ten years ago.
The census of 1890 finds us a
happy, prosperous people, richer
than we ever were before. at peace
with all mankind. May it steadily
grow until the next census, and
may 1900 and all our readers wit
ness further proportionate pro-
gress.-Astorian.

ALIBERAL STANDPOINT.

The Washington Post is one OF the
most unique journals in the country.
1t has Democratic and Republican
end, and the composite newspap per
thus produced, is having g success that
is most gratifying.
But above and beyond al party dis
tinctions, it is newspaper of the pes

time is past for the waving OF the
bloody shirt.
Pitiful indeed, says the Post, would
be the spectacle were the South 50
forgetful of her distinguished soldiers
as not to celebrate their virtues and
keep their memories green. Then in.
deed were her honesty to be CUES
toned and her self-confessed humi,ia-
ton TO be despised, and the value OF
her citizenship to be discounted. The
South is simply doing what any other
people Of ordinary pride III them
selves would do under similar circCm-
stances.

blood or noble, IN his veins, such ex-
pressions as these would make it man

statement of facts it is history.
The Southern people, continues The
writer, have accepted the results OF
the war. The lost cause is no more,
nor ever more to be. 1t is a living
cause for which they are now con-
tending, and in view of the progress
they have made in the last twenty
five years, of the sturdy, self-reliant
capacity they have developed, OF the
readiness with which they bear what
ever burden the government imposes
upon them, of the unquestionaole
alacrity with which they wouldira.lly

HO. FOR TEE COUNTRY.

The summer season is now fairly
commenced. The first Of June uShers
it in, and in a million homes, all over
the country, the thoughts of the den
liens of the city are turning longin ely
toward green fields and ripping waters.
The people Of Roanoke are very for
tunate in summer, as indeed they al
ways are. Within their easy reach are
scores of watering places, while all
about them, standing guard, are The
eternal hills.
So the summer outing does not mean
to the average Roanoker absence from

country, yet they are within easy
reach, and the schedules on both rail
roads running {into the city are ar
ranged SO conveniently that he can
