Making Minute. Count.

A poor girl. who works all day in the
mending room of an embroidery factory,
told me how the girls used their spare
minutes There were thirty of them.
and whenever piece of embroidery
came from the great looms it went into
their hands to be looked over and mend
ed, so what they did was ''piece work.
and any minutes they gave rp were
deducted from their time at the end of
the week. After thinking it over they
decided that each one could spare ten
minutes az day, and the one who was
having her ten minutes read to the
others. In this way they got 300 min
utes day, 1900 minutes week, and
whoever among you is a good arithme-
tician-count how many minutes year
that would be for them. Doesn't this
make you, who govern your own time, a
bit ashamed? Ruth Ashmore in Ladies'
Home journal.

There is no question but what the
merchants of The Dalles will do. all of
their shipping from Portland by the
home line of steamers. They recognize
the fact that it is necessary to give the
company substantial patronage. The
farmers of the interior should do their
share toward the support of the line.
The reduction in rates brought about by
the putting on of the boats means at
least three cents bushel more for
wheat to those who ship from The Dalles
than would be possible if the boats were
not running. In order to keep the line
OH and obtain the added price on wheat
The Dalles, Portland and Astoria navi-
CATION company should be given every
pound of wheat to carry that seeks Port
land or Astoria as an outlet. We hope
the farmers of the interior will unite in
their patronage of the boat ompany and
give the line the support which it de-
serves. BY a union of the merchant
and farmers of this section the new VEN
ture can be made successful and sure of
being continued as regulator of freight
rates on the Columbia.

Mouth of the Columbia.

O'Clock Thursday evening with three
barges of stone for the jetty. Work pro-
crosses very satisfactorily, and the 27
feet depth, the shallowest place be-
tween Astoria and the sea, will soon be

rock were dumped in the mole, and the
force of men at work there under the in
telligent direction of Superintendent He

will be far advanced toward completion.
A third track will be added to the rail-

A few years ago. in this city, vessel

Weldon. n well to do merchant. Wefdonl
had met with many reverses in the way
of vessel losing. and this luss almost
put him ont of heart. The vessel was
named the, Golden Gate
In conversation one day with the cap
tain of the vessel Weldon said
Captain. have made my mind up
not to enter into any more vessel enter

..But I'm not able to buy said the
captain
There was in Weldon's employ at this
time green looking boy by the name of
John Bell. who overheard the CONVERSE
ton When the captain left, undecided.
John slipped into his employers Office
and said:
''If you please. Mr. Weldon. what

Well said Weldon. Il offered her
to Captain Bently for 5000 But why

Another county seat fight will soon be
in full blast in this state, this time in
Sherman county: The people of Moro
have isaugurated the fight by purchas-
ing the Observer, heretofore published at
Wasco, and will move it over to their
town to advocate their interests. The
location now lies between these two
towns, and until the last meeting of the
legislature Wasco had the best of the
fight, and sneered at her rival. Affairs
have changed since the Hon. E. o.
Mccoy, who is an owner in the Moro
town site and also member of the Ore
gon legislature, put spoke in Wasco's
wheel by adding considerable slice ta-
ken from Wasco county to the southern
boundary of Sherman, thus giving it a
majority of the votes. The moving OF
the county paper from the county seat
to Moro indicates what the result of the
next election is expected to be. Wasco,
however, proposes to die fighting. 1t
has bought a newspaper, hired an editor,
and the war of words may be expected
to break out at Oregonian.

The state of Washington has bonded
debt OF 100000, on which it pays 81
per cent. interest, and floating debt of
1925, 900, drawing 10 per cent. interest.
Its papers are advising the issuance of
bonds, by which about $40, 1000. a year
conld be saved. Oregon is sometimes
called slow, but there is one thing to its
credit, it don't owe anything. With the
exception of Texas, Oregon is perhaps
the only state that is completely out OF
debt.

DIR. BURcHARD, the clergyman who
was largely responsible for the election
of Cleveland in 1884, though his effort
was to defeat him, died at Saratoga, n.
Y. on Friday last. Every one who took
any interest in the election OF 1881 will
remember the rum, Romanism and re-
bellion" utterapce which stirred the
Catholics to active opposition. Bur
chard was so well pleased with Cleve-
lands administration that he was one of
his most active supporters in 1888. But
his support seems always to work in
favor of the other fellow. Now that he
is in the Elysian fields where all minis
tiers go, candidates for the presidency will
find it impossible to secure his opposi-
ton.

SENATOR Villas article on the Bennett
law published in The Forum proves the
dangers attendant upon espOusing a
cause which policy and not conscience
approves. The senator's onslaught on
the Bennett law last fall had so much
momentum that, accelerated by an I'M
expected degree of success, it has carried
him to the extreme doctrine of denying
the necessity Of knowledge of the Eng
lish tongue. The following is from his
pen:
What evil to our social order, to our
prosperity as a people, can any attribute
to want of knowledge of the English
tongue among the foreign born who (Sic)
for fifty years we have invited to the
state?"
The article in question is remarkable
one-more so for The spirit in which it is
written and the specious misrepresenta-
lions 1t contains than for its plausibility,
though by no means lacking in the lat
ter quality.
No good purpose can be served by a
post mOrte M examination of the Bennett
law though it is quite natural the sena-
tor should love to linger on the strate-
gic movements whereby he gained po-
sition which his ambition coveted. Pos
sibly some feeling that the part he play
ed would not rebound to his credit when
among the men who manage the desti-
MES of the nation, may have impelled
him to soften the rough outlines of his
otfense with the specious sophistries Of
an able pleader. The law itself is a COM
plete refutation of the senator's article.
The senator must have but little re-
spect for those courts in which he has
so long practiced with honor and profit
to himself, when he assumes that they
would not protect the rights of the in
dlvldual in prosecutions under the Ben
aett law. Every argument used by the
senator, who is such through the cour-
tesy of the law he denounces. applies
with equal force to the compulsory at
tendance law, framed without Injustice
which the senator commends.

| RUBLEE thinks every democrat who
voted for Hoard and Fanaticism a good
democrat.-MH. Journal
| Ii may be better test of democracy
than 1t was to vote for Peck and revenue
There was time when The Journal pro.
tested 1t was not democratic paper and
invariably spoke of the party whose sue
cess is now a source of profit to it, as
1.-The poor old democracy" Its auto
cratic utterances now. have but little
warrant from its past. It's comparative
ly recent conversion, the thrift which
followed and its assumption to measure
democracy by its own standard, are but
regulation steps imposed by desire for
revenue. The Journal has an idea that
the popularity it achieved through the
election OF last fall by services for
which immediate pay was demanded and
granted, can be continued indefinitely by
abuse OF those democrats who did not
choose to put their conscience in its
keeping. The little filings are just what
may be expected from beggar on horse
back grown insolent from present pros
perity. The dictatorship established by
The Journal may be pleasing to such
democrats as recognize pillage as the only
legitimate fruit of party victory, and in
consequence worship those who have the
distribution of spoils. But unless signs
fail there is a steady diuiinution in the
number of democrats who applaud hire
ling utterances for their offensive bolster
business.
The democrats who voted for Hoard
have no apologies to make and are pretty
well able to take care of themselves. The
Journal will find them quite ready to
stand on the defensive with offensive
return" and with abundance of material
on hand TO make matters interesting If
the contest is thrust upon them. They
are not possessed of that degree of chris
tian forbearance viii h will permit them
to be used as pin-cushion for every
penny-a-llner who assumes to be the
mouth-piece of pure democracy. II thew
accept an oracle it must be one untainted
by the suspicion that its utterances are
prompted by favors and its future al
legiance dependent upon the financial
prospects of the campaign.

A INV YORK counterfeiter is busy
in using the mails in the interests of his
business. But the United States govern
ment Is so intent upon suppressing the
Louisiana Lottery that the counterfeiter
has carte blanche so far as the mails ale
concerned. The counterfeiter has no in
terdiction placed upon him but the COM
paratively harmless lottery is pounced
upon by the officials of the post-offiee de-
partment. Peck's Sun is being prose-
cuted for publishing lottery advertise
ment in disguise. New York papers are
publishing the advertisement of the
counterfeiter, disguised of course. but
the government is not in the prosecuting
business in their case. A government
so virtuous that lottery cannot be en-
dured permits the mails to be used TO
forward the business of the counterfeit.
er and even allows newspapers to adver-
tIse that business. 1t would seem to he
the proper thing to attack the greater
evil first, but the powers that be seem to
think otherwise.

The supreme court evidently wants to
dodge the question raised by George
Raymer regarding the amount drawn
from the state treasury by Supt.
Wells. The constitution says in terms
she shall not receive compensation
greater than 81 200 annually" The COM
pensation is now $3.50. But the court
is IN doubt as to whether Raymer ''can
properly bring an action in his own
name for relief" Is he not taxpayer?
How can an officer guilty of peculation
be brought to justice if the whole com
munlty defrauded must join in the pro-
ceeding to restrain him from dishonest
practices? If the case is dismissed on
this t1imsy technically the people Will
be wholly at the mercy of dishonest Off
cials.

HARD FIFE WHEAT.


1t is generally known and justly COM
planned of that the soft variety OF wheat
brought the same price in the market as
the hard although the hard is of more
value. The reasons are first because there
was so little coming to this market, that
it dld,not pay.to store it separate and, End.
because the grading or to determine
which was which, hard or soft, created so
much i'll feeling that the plan was aban-
doned and the more easy adopted, to pay
for all grades alike.
But as there is more and more hard fife
wheat raised in this county, | shall this
fall try again to pay more for the hard
fife than for the soft wheat. The wheat
must not be mixed and completely dry.
In case L shall have reasonable success,
not too much hair splitting in grading. |
shall continue TO pay higher prices for
hard as against soft wheat, otherwise will
have to drop back in the old rut. q

The attempt to arouse hational pre-
JUDGE through the lynching of Sieboldt
should be discountenanced by every one.
Sieboldt was a murderer and a danger
GUS man. The people who lynched him
are murderers, dangerous men and cow
ards. The fact that Sieboldt was Ger
man does not excuse or magnify the
crime OF those who ~fynched him. The
fact that the lynchers are Irish does not
palliate or aggravate their crime. The
Milwaukee Germania takes the right
view of the matter and very properly al
ministers rebuke to It's contemporary
The Seebote for its attempts to STIR NJ
national animosities through the deeds
OF a gang OF murderers.

The newspapers of the state which are
now busy denouncing the state treasur-
ers for taking interest on state funds for
whose safe keeping they were responsible,
should scan their own actions before con-
demning others. There is not an editor
in the state who would not do exactly
what these state treasures have done and
all this pretense of honesty is sheer hyp-
ocrisy which opportunity would prove
to be such. There is not publisher of a
local newspaper in the state whose bill
for county printing presented to the
county board has not in it a steal, more or
less. There are newspapers bowling
about the state treasurers whose pub
hshers have sold their influence for a
money consideration This fact is known
to the Pilot from information received
from he persons who made the bargain
and paid the money.
What hypocrisy to make a display Of
virtue by attacks upon men who are un.
der fire, with greater warrant, morally
for what they have done than their crit.
les can offer for their shortcomings
Thieves! yes. indeed the woods are full
of 'em, aud those who are shouting loud
est are the most arrant ones.

lip-virtuous just about right to give then
little dose of their own medicine.

GUATEMALA, one of the petty republics
of Central America is in the midst of an
instruction. These republics are such
only in name and the presidents exercise
more despotic power than does the Gar
of Russia. Tho instruction had It's
origin in a national celebration the details
OF which were being managed by Barillas
the president. The people refused 10 hear
the speakers and stoned them. Some
fire aims were used and the president
cllled out the troops. About 800 persons
were killed during the riot.
