-'FILCHING," 10 YOU CALL IT.

Speaking Of the wide discomfort
among the people and the organization
for political work by tho farmers, the
San Francisco Morning Call, one OF
the leading Republican organs of
California, says:
1t is in such times that each inter-
est endeavors to raise its own ques-
tions to State or Federal level; that
the sIlver-miner insists ON filching n
quarter dollar per ounce out of the
public. p1cket, and that the grower
of various products demands that the
General Government shall carry them
for him until the price rises so he can
sell at profit.
We see expressions like the above
continually in the Republican press Of
California. The Chronicle claims to
be an advocate Of silver unsupported
Feiton, the gold bug for the Senate,
as against Estee a pronounced silver
man. AS matter of fact California
is not with US on the silver question,
as its politics are now run. We have
no doubt that it would be otherwise
were the Democrats in power there.
But so long as the State is in the
hands of the Republican party we
may expect very little comfort for
silver. When the Call talks about
1.-The silver-lniner filching quarter
dollar per ounce out of the public
pocket" it talks like an idiot. It is
the sharks through criminal legisla-
ton who are "tilching /. quarter dollar
per ounce" and more out of the
pockets of the silver producer. The
difference in the Calls assertion and
the fact is the difference between
black and white or between the truth
and lie.-[ Eureka Sentinel.

FROM SURPLUS TO DEFICIT.

Through the refusal OF the Repub-
lican Senate to accept the Democratic
policy OF stopping an excessive rev.

Administration found a surplus of

Through the reckless expenditures
OF the Billion-Dollar Congress, az
proved by the President, the Treasury
has twice resorted to desperate meas
ures OF questionable legality to avoid
a deficit, and is now turning in still
greater desperation to the small
change in it's vaults to meet current
expenses.
With S3O,00O,0O0 in pensions soon
falling due and only S12,OOO,OOO avail
able to meet the demand, Secretary
Foster is exercising his ingenuity in
devising plan to work Off tho frau-
tional silver, long carried as an sun
available asset" but reckoned as cash
by Secretary Window, to postpone for
little the inevitable deficit.
And instead OF anticipating the
payment OF unmatured obligations, as
has been the policy of the Treasury
for several years, the Secretary is
ni6ditating an extension at a lower
rate of interest of the AZ per cents
soon to fall due.
"God help the surplus!" cried Cor
poral Tanner when I've got his up

sions. The Corporal's party has

1t is n good thing for n young man to

of sclf-conccit. The sooner they are
relieved Of it the better. If, in measur-

that it is unwarranted and get rid of it

own sakcs, that it be knocked out of

school soon finds his level.
The world is great public school,
and it soon teaches new pupil his
proper place, says the New York
Ledger. If he has the attributes that
belong to leader, he will be installed
in the position of leader; if not, what
ever bis own opinion of his abilities
may be, he will be compelled to fall in
with the rank and file. If not destined
to greatness, the next best thing to
which he can aspire is responsibility;
but no man can either be truly great or
truly respectable who is vain, pompous
and ovcrbcnring.
by the time the novice has found his
legitimate social status, be the same
high or low, the probability is that the
disagrceablc traits Of his character will

likely the process Of abrasion will be
rough, perhaps very rough, but when

MALTESE NOT ITALIANS
Facts About tho Population Of Ono OF En-.
SlandH StronHholds.

Facts About tho Population Of Ono OF En-.
, glands StronYholds.
It is a common though utterly enron,
eous idea in England that the Maltese
arc Italians by race, and that their
language is dialect of Italians, writes
Sir George F. Bowen to the London
Times. Sir Adriano Dingli, the present
very able chief justice of Malta-a
Maltese of the Maltese-has stated of
fcially as follows: "It must not be
overlooked that both English and ItaI-
Ian are practically for vast majority
of our population, as much foreign
tongues as Arabic or Greek in England
or Italy There is good authority for
the belief that, at the present day,
about twenty per cent. of the entire
people can speak Italian, and about
Thirty per cent. can speak English,
while nearly sixty per cent. can speak
only Maltese.
The fact is-and it is a very interest
ing fact-that the Maltese are mainly
the last surviving remnant of the
Carthaginian branch of the old PhOeni-
cian people. Malta was the halfway
station between Carthage and Sicily,
long held by the Carthaginians and of
which Iamilcar, the father of Hanni-
bal, was at one time governor. There
is indeed a tradition that Hannibal
himself was born in MALTA. This
famous and historic island was the
chief stronghold in the Mediter-
rancan of the Carthaginians of old,
as it is now of the English. Here, and
in the neighboring island of Coco, there
still remain extensive ruins of Garth
aginian Tor Phenician) temples, and an
abundance of Carthaginian graves.
Moreover. the base Of the Maltese Ian
guagc is Carthaginian, i. e., Phenician.
In the comedy of the Latin poet Plau-
tus, which is named "Ponulus" ("The
Little Carthaginian") a Carthaginian
soldier makes speech in his own Ian
guage, which is stated by modern Mall
tese scholars TO be us Ineligible to
them rs much of CHANGER is ineligible
to the English OF the present time.
During the long rule of the Suracens,
who held Malta for more than two CEN
turtles, the old Carthaginian race and
language were much mixed with the
Arab Blood and language; but both are
kindred and Semitic races and tongues
allied also TO Hebrew, and have no re-
lation whatsoever with any European
language. The subsequent introduce
ton of Italian was due to the knights
of ST. John of Jerusalem, most of whom
were Italians, French or Spaniards.
Italian was then (as it still remains to q
large cXtcnt) the lingua franca of the
Mediterranean, and the grand masters
used it in their official acts (when not
published i'll Latin), and in their courts
Ii law. 1t is still the language of tho
courts OF law under the English rule,
although it is the language neither of
tho English nor of the Maltese.

The heavy rain which fell Wednesday

have visited some localities and passed
others by. The good it will do to Una
tilla county's coming cropis incalculable.
Fall grain, which is burned in places,
will be aided in filling, and its condition
is now much more promising. The rain
assures good yield of spring grain. The
present situation encourages the belief
that while there may be no more than an
average yield throughout the county
wheat will be of excellent quality.
The rain fell steadily for several hours
in Pendleton, and there was a heavy
precipitation. From every direction
come reports of an equally copious fall.

A Rival of the Famous strasburg Clio

A Rival of the Famous Strasburg Clock.
The most wonderful clock is on exhi-
bition in the parochial school building
connected with st. Paul's German Lu-
theran church in Janesville, Wis.
The timepiece is divided into four
parts-geographical, astronomical, mu-
sical and numerical. A little bell strikes
every minute. The first quarter hour
represents childhood; the second, youth;
the third. middle age, and the fourth,
old age. AS the clock strikes the hours
corresponding number of apostles make
their appearance, from one to twelve
Above them stands Jesus blessing them.
The twelve signs of the zodiac are rep
resented. At 6 and 12 o'clock a sexton
rings a bell, an old man kneels in prayer,
the cock crows and the organ is played
There are four dials on each side of the
clock, showing the years on one side and
the leap years on the other.
At midnight heather gods make their
appearance, and scenes in the life of
Jesus are represented at MONDAY. The
four seasons are represented by appro-
pirate figures, as are the moons phases
The clock was built by Mr.. Martin, a
millwright, of Schwarzwald, Baden, and
is said to exceed in ingenuity any other
clock ever exhibited in the United
States.-Jeweler's Weekly.

1t is sad commentary on the fleeting
character of human glory that Ferdi-
nand De Lesseps who reached the sum-
NIT of earthly fame through his engi-
neering and financial achievements in
connection with the openingof the Suez
canal should, in his old age, be the SUBJ
ject of poverty, sickness and humilia-
ton. The utter collapse of the Panama
canal scheme and the stupendous losses
incurred have brought upon his aged
head the bitter curses of those who,
through his inducement, invested their
money in it. And now to add to this bit
terness, word reaches us, that ''the
shareholders of the canal propose to
prosecute him for fraud in making the
favorable reports which drew out the last
of the funds expended in the colossal
failure" The path of glory leads but to
the grave, but it is doubly sad when
this path is strewn with thorns and bri-
ars and the brooks by the way-side of
the last stage of life's journey are full of
bitterness more bitter still than that of
the cup of death itself.

An Old Bullet.

Bob Locl1hart dropped in to renew his
subscription.
"1 have something in my inside pocket
which want to show you," he said. and
after searching for few seconds Bob
produced the half of large round leaden
ball.

and you will see where the saw passed
through the center of the bullet. Well,
l got to thinking afterward how old
this bullet must be. The log was fat
heart pine two feet thick. Evidently
the bullet was shot into the tree when
small or else it could not have pierced to
the center, and the tree was evidently
100 years old when it fell to the ground.
It may have laid there 100 years or more.
You know fat pine never decays. am
satisfied that old man Ponce de Leon, on
his tour through this country, must have
fired fancy shot at skulking savage,
and plugged the tree instead Of the In
dian. You see it's round ball, and as
it is SO large I judge it to be of Spanish
make"

The silver Dollar .M.n

There is a popular idea prevalent that
the minute letter M" to be seen at the
base of the head of Liberty on the face
of the present issue of silver dollars
stands for Mint" and is an evidence of
the genuineness of the coin bearing it.
This is mistake. The I'M" stands for
Morgan, George T. Morgan. who Is the
originator of the design. Upon the
same side there is another I'M, also the
initial of the designer. This is to be
found in the waving locks of the fair
goddess, and is so cleveriy concealed in
the lines of the design that it can only
be seen after long scrutiny. A prom
inent mint official, in speaking of this
other initial, said that he had had it
shown to him scores of times, but could
never find it unassisted. Philadelphia

Oil Ponds in the Gulf.

Between the mouth of the Mississippi
river and Galveston, ten or fifteen miles
south of Sabine Pass, is spot in the
Gulf of Mexico which is commonly called
''The Oil Ponds" by the captains of the
small craft which ply in that vicinity.
There is no land within fifteen miles;
but even in the widest weather the
water at this spot is comparatively calm,
owing to the thick covering of oil, which
apparently rises from the bed of the Gull,
which is here about fifteen to eighteen
feet beneath the surface. This strange
refuge is well known to sailors who run
on the small vessels trading between Cal
casien, Orange, Sabine, Beaumont and
Galveston. When through stress of
weather they fail to make harbor else
where they run for 1.-The Oil Ponds,' let
go anchor and ride the gale in safety,
this curious spot furnishing good illus
tration of the effect of ''oil upon a trou-
bled sea. st. Louis Republic.

1t is not often that wolf story is told
in way to show the cowardly nature Of
the animal. For this reason the follow
ing account, given by the author Of
Twenty Years in Canada West, -
has its own value and interest:
My wife's youngest sister had pet
sheep that she had brought up from a
lamb, and to which she was much at
tached. One afternoon she was going
down to the spring for pitcher of wa
ter, when she saw a large dog. as she
thought, worrying her sheep, upon which
she picked up large stick and struck
the beast two or three strokes with all
her strength, thus compelling him to
drop his prey.
This, however, he did very reluctantly,
turning his head at the same time. and
showing his teeth with most diabolical
snarl. She saw at once when he faced
her, by. his pricked ears, high cheek
bones, long, bushy tail and garnt figure,
that her antagonist was wolf Nothing
daunted, she again bravely attacked
him, for he seemed determined. in spite
of her valiant opposition, to have her pet
lamb, which he again attacked.
She boldly beat him off the second
time, following him down the creek,
thrashing him and calling for aid with
all her might. when, fortunately, one of
her brothers, attracted by her cries, ran
down with the dogs and his gun. But
he was too late for shot, for when the
wolf saw the reinforcement he scamp
cred off with all his speed.

Open Gambling Suppressed.

LA GRANDE, Or, June 1s-For some
time past the gambling fraternity have
been unpleasantly numerous in the city
So open and insolent did they become,
that it was resolved by the business men
of the town that something must be done
to restrict their operations. According
ly, at meeting of the city council held
last evening, an ordinance was passed
instructing the city marshal to close up
all the games. This was done this morn
ing, and today the streets are full of dis
consulate tinhorns.
The tests of the pneumatic guns on the
cruiser, Vesuvius, are over, her fate as q
dynamite" cruiser is settled. The guns
were failure, and the vessel will un-
doubtedly soon be stripped of them, and
converted into an ordinary torpedo
cruiser. 1t is an open secret about the
navy department that the recent tests
were ordered, in order to have an Off
cial pretext to dismantle the vessel.
Not an officer could be found willing to
risk his life by his presence at'an actual
trial of dynamite shells, and conse-
quently there has never been such a
test. There'll be no more dynamite
cruisers built.

We have abundant evidence that an
effort was made, in this city, during the
late election to convince certain of our
citizens who could not otherwise be in
duced to vote the Moody ticket, that as a
result of its defeat the city would pur-
chase the mill flume and add it to the
water plant. The entire conception is
we apologize to our readers for making
any allusion to.it. What on earth does
the city want with any more of the 1ume
than she now possesses? Is it supposed
that the water commissioners intend to
start saw mill or a wood yard? And
if not what would they do with the fiume
when the city already owns all she needs
of it or ever will need? Is it forgotten
that it is no part of the plans of the
water commissioners to give the fume
permanent place in our water system
but that just as soon as there are suffic-
lent funds the supply pipe will be ex-
tended above all possible contamination
from the presence of settlers? Be this
as it may the CHRONICLE is authorized
to say that the thought of such pur-
chase never entered for moment into
the minds of either the owners of the
hume or of the water commissioners and
that if such thought ever enters into
anyone's mind this journal will never
let up on him until it sees him safely
incarcerated in lunatic asylum.
