Carlyle, the historian and essayist, was
born in Dumfrieshire, Scotland. He
was the son of small farmer and was
educated for the ministry at Edinburgh.
After teaching mathematics, he devoted
himself to literature in 1875, and be-
tween 1884 and 1855 residedin London,

The people of this city undoubtedly welcome
with great deal of pleasure the announcement
of the reappearance OF that favorite comedian,
Mr.. Charles Dickson, supported by his own COM
pany OF merry players. They win be at the Sc
attic theater December 10, presenting that side
splitting comedy of errors, ''Incog," which
scored such an emphatic success upon the occa-
sion Of its first production here last season.
Since that time "Ineog' has toured the entire
country. winning golden opinions from the
press and dollars from the public. Its success
was pronounced in New York city, where it ran
TO crowded houses for 100 nights.
This record, however. surprised none of our
theater-goers; for, remembering its many anus
ing situations and sparkling, witty dialouge,
they predicted this triumph. and often were
heard asserting that which the critics all have
said OF it, that sit is the funniest comedy ever
produced. 'Incog' will be preceded by new
curtain raiser entitled "The Salt Cellar" Mr..
Dickson's company is such as he will always
and only associate with his name, which has
thus far been the synonym of excellence: it

Oswald's friends were always on
the lookout for some ruse. He once
notified them that on New Years
day he should get the best of them
all in some joke, and New Years
morning each received this notice,
Remember" They were on their
guard.
AS they were leaving a house
where they had breakfasted, Oswald
slipped on the steps and fell on his
back on the sidewalk. His friends
rushed to his assistance, but paused
before they reached him.
This is his ruse, some one said.
Clearly, the man who was so proud
of his talent for mimicry was bent
on deceiving them all into thinking
him a dying man, for he lay there
moaning pitifully, his face drawn
and twisted as if with terrible pain.
His friends stood around and made
jokes and puns, and hummed lines of
comic songs, assuring him all the
while that they were not deceived by
his acting. At last he gave a hoarse,
mouInful cry, looked at them sadly
and then ceased to moan or writhe.
In a never-to-be-forgotten moment
of horror and sorrow his friends
realized that Oswald was dead -

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

THE JOURNAL has not Joined in
any Of the newspaper attacks on
Mr.. Webster, Republican candidate
for attorney general of the state.
On the other hand it severely criti-
cised the appointment by Governor
Pennoyer of our present attorney
general, Geo. Chamberlain, of AL
bany. Under the circumstances we
feel 1t but our duty to say to our
readers that Mr.. Chamberlain has
made an official record that causes
us most agreeable disappointment,
He has proved to be champion of
peoples measures and an able one.
Without disparaging the claims
Of Mr.. Webster, and not knowing
but that he will be just as good an
official, we wish to call attention to
the fact that Mr.. Chamberlain is an
educated gentleman, an able law
yer and, what is more, n clear.
sighted, independent judicial ad-
wiser. He has fought to establish
and uphold the railroad commission
in its work of reducing freight rates
and the state board of equalization
in its work of equalization of taxes
and placing more of the burdens of
state and county taxes upon the
tax-dodging corporations. On all
other matters oHpublic importance
Mr.. Chamberlain has been squarely
and vigorously upon the side of the
peoples interests, and in both the
above cases he had the spirit and
independence to differ radically
from the power that appointed him.
That the people should he advised
of the record of such an official we
deem it no more than our duty.
The judicial offices should be
elevated above the prejudices of
party spirit and disinterested tax
payers should uphold Mr.. Cham.
berlain who is now candidate for
their ballots.

You may read of the cleverest

or Of tho cleverest murderers, and
their arrest has been brought about

only thing upon which the authori-

Piano Tuning.

1t is impossible to specify the num-
ber of times year your piano should
be tuned. A piano, to be kept in fair
condition, should be tuned four times
a year. So much depends, however,
on the temperature, style and make
of the instrument, the manner of
use, its condition, ETC., that where
one piano requires five or six tunings
annually, another might get along
fairly with much less
In the matter of tuning there is
much negligence, people preferring
with singular peryersity TO let their
piano go TO track and ruin" rather
than get a good tuner in time This
is the sort Of pennywise pound fool
ish policy that buys a cheap piano
for beginner, fondly expecting mu-
sical progress to be made on poor
instrument and with n poor teacher.

An Abolition Reminiscepoe.

Wendell Philips used to tell this
anecdote of a crowded meeting in
Faneuil hall, where Frederick Doug
lass was chief speaker. Douglass
had been describing the wrongs of
his race; as he proceeded he grew
more and more excited, and ended by
saying that they had no hope of jus
tice from the whites, no possible re-
dress except by force. 1t must come
to blood; they must fight for them
selves and redeem themselves, or it
would never be done.
The old negress, Sojourner Truth,
was sitting, tall and dark, on the
front seat facing the platform. In
the hush of deep feeling after Doug
lass sat down, her deep, peculiar
voice was heard all over the house;
Frederick, is God dead"
The whole effect was electrical,
changing as by a fash the whole feel
ing of tho audience. Not another
word she said, or need to say; her
speech had been made. Boston Adj

HOW IT GROWS.
The People Appreciate a Paper
for the People.

The JOURNAL is receiving many
new subscribers just at this time,
both for the DAILY and the WEEKLY
editions. This is not the season Of
the year when busy people want
papers, but owing to the important
political situations rife at this time
the masses of readers are interested
in THE JOURNALS discussion of
peoples measures. Every farmer
and workingman wants the paper
that gives all the news and inteli-
gently represents his interests, and
in TIE JOURNAL he finds a sub
stantial combination of these two
vital points, Hence its constant
growth is only an evidence that the
people realize this fact. In the city
additional carriers routes have been
established to accommodate a large
class of industrious and worthy
citizens who have cast their lot
among us.
THE WEEKLY JOURNAL is steadily
growing into a state circulation, and
the number of copies taken in adj
joining counties is especially large.
To illustrate how subscriptions are
coming in from these sources we
will briefly quote few late orders:
G. S. Robinson, May 14tb: EN-
closed is $150 for the WEEKLY
JOURNAL one year to be sent to JoI-
dan, Linn Co., Oregon.
G. w. Misel, Forest Grove, Ore,
May 14th: Enclosed find $3.50 for
subscription to the WEEKLY jour
NAL for one year.
Mrs. M. A. Peck, Oregon City,
May IS: Send the WEEKLY jour
NAL to Oregon City instead of
Aumsville. 1t has become an old
friend, and [ think we would be
lonesome without it.

and Polk counties now exceed those

SPRINKLE STATE STREET.-Al-
ready clouds of dust roll up the
whole length of the street leading
from the s. P. depot into the city, a
not most agreeable salute to visiting
strangers. State and the entire
street to the depot should be
sprinkled. If the people or property
on those streets could be induced to
share half the expense and the city
the other half, the benefit would be
immense. To bring people into
Salem on wide, shaded, watered
streets would command their admir-
alton and respect to high degree,
State street should not be left to
shoulder in the dust clouds this
summer. 1t is a great detriment to
the street.

COUNTY ATTORNEYS.-One of the
speakers at Macleay favored a county
prosecuting attorney for each
county. That would cost each
county about $1,000, if an attorney of
any ability was procured. Under
the present system of district at
torney for five or six counties it costs
county $500 to $500 a year. The
deputy attorneys fees in this county
amount to from $500 to $500 year.
So it is hard to see how county
attorney would effect any saving
even in large county like Marion.
In small counties it would cost two
or three times what it does at pres
ent. If a county attorney could be
paid the fees fixed at present, there
might be a saving, but another
county office would be created.

COMMERCIAL STREET. The us
ual objections to such enterprises are
being urged against. Alderman
Collins resolution is to have Com
mercial street and the cross streets to
Front improved with broken rock.
1t is generally conceded that suf-
ficient depth of broken rock will
make a good pavement for our busi-
ness streets for many years to come
1t is charged that there is no rock to
be had in this country that will not
disintegrate and leave muddy
streets. If this is true q broken
rock street is not desirable. But is
it fact? 1t is certain that gravel
makes muddy business street.
