White Neckties.

Within the past two or three years
there has been a marked increase in the
number Of people wearing white neck
ties Of silk, satin, linen or cotton, in

preparation for dinner, but as part Of
the regular daily garb. a reporter who
walked along Broadway the other af

THE most interesting thing
about the socialist congress that
has lately been held in Erfurt, in
Germany, was the victory of the
moderate element in the congress,
says Bradstreet's. That body
showed unmistakably its aversion
to the anarchistic views of some of
the delegates, and the most ex-
treme of these left the meeting.
The congress declared against any
change in tactics in the political
field. One of its resolutions af-
firmed that the principles of right,
truth and morality should guide
the members of the party in their
dealings with each other and with
all men of whatever race or relig-
ion. The growth of the socialist
party in the last two decades has
been remarkable. 1t numbered
but a little over 100000 voters in
1871, and in 1890 the socialist
voters numbered 1, 100000. They
had but, one deputy in 1871 and
in 1890 they had thirty-si

BROTHER j. r. N. BELL is editor
Of one of the best papers i'll the
Willamette valley-the Indepen-
dence West Side. He is no kicker
or fault-finder in any sense of the
terms, but he knows how to moral
ize. In the last issue of his paper
he says: "Eyery sidewalk and
crosswalk in the Incorporation
should be examined carefully by
the marshal, aud all defects should
be remedied at once. There are
half dozen broken planks around
the premises of J. r. N. Bell that
ought to be fixed, and the editor
of the West Side hereby complains,
and demands that the aforesaid
gentleman fix his sidewalks" Bro
ther Bell reminds us very much of
Socrates, but he hasn't that great
breadth of whatever you-may- call
it that made Socrates great.

: AGAIN we have been kindly re-
quested to define, or in some man
ner account for the existence of
the word "Mugwump." This word
is SAID to be derived from the Ian
guage of the Algonquin Indians,
among whom it meant chief or
person of Importance. It came to
be applied derisively to persons
who exaggerated their wisdom and
Importance and during the presi-
dental campaign of 1884 it was
used first by the New York Sun to
designate those republicans who
refused to support Blaine. The
name was adopted by these indie
pendents who lost-sight of the re-
proach it had been intended to
convey.

SOME day, doubtless, the noun
tain-sides will be all aglow with
cultivation. When it becomes gen.
orally known throughout the world
that the soil Of the Willamette
valley has all the elements of rich
ness, then the people will rush
from the four corners of the earth
to this land of promise, and there
won't be room in the valley for
the settlers. They will naturally
take for the mountains, which are
rich with fertile soil. The noun
tains and hills will some day be
fields of luscious fruits, and thrift
will reign supreme.
