poIPH's PET MEASURE.
Philadelphia Times: 1t may have
been the little speck of war visible on
the CHILEAN horizon that has burned
Senator Dolph's bill for strengthening
our system OF seacoast Notifications
through the Senate committee. IL IL
more likely that Senator Dolph, being
possessed Of some political shrewdness,
has simply seized the present favorable
opportunity to get his bill before the
Senate in the hope that something may
turn up to create popular demand Ior
it's passage. The bill is an old pet OF
Senator Dolph's, which was left over
from the last session, and which he has
pared down nearly twenty-five per cent.
to make it less Objectionable to the tax
payers who must meet the expenses.
THE PEOPLE ARE THINKING.
Wallowa Signal: There never has
been q tire perhaps in the history OF
mankind when what 10 known as the
common people have engaged 80 ear
nestly, so in.ently and with such deep
determination in the study OF those ques-
tons which affect their industrial and
political we'll being as what they are do
ing today. They are trying to solve the
problem of how it is, that notwithstand-
ing the fact that they do the work OF the
world, fight its battles, feed it's millions
with their toll, bring from soil and mine
andsfactory enough to clOthe in comfort,
| feed with comfort and hav to spare, yet,
ninety-nine hundredths must 70 poorly
fed, poorly clothed, live in perjury, rear
their children with but little education
and leave them with but poor opportu-
mites while one in hundred rolls in
untold wealth, lives in royalty con-
structed palaces, feasts on finer and more
costly viands every day than Dives ever
| had, and become dictators and tyrants
over their fellows in all things in life.
They realize that the usage, laws and in
situations which produce such results are
not just, that the present order OF things
is rapidly tending to not only the impov-
erishing Of the masses, but, to an abso
lutte and AFFECT enslavement of their
loved offspring to the few who by posi-
ton, accident, custom or unjust, un'
reasonable and unrighteous laws occupy
positions Of advantage.
THE WORK OF DISSIPATION.
Spokane Review: Fred Gebhart, al
the age of 25 is mental, moral and
physical wreck. He has upon his face
the impress of dissipation and the marks
of age. His hair is gray, his beard
nearly white, his eye is dull, and his
manner that Of extreme WEAKNESS and
profound despair. The fear of paresie
hangs over him, and he has been sent tc
Of the Kelley institutes by his sister
there to Re guarded by attendants, and
reformed, if possible, against his will.
THE STATE SHOULD DO 1T ANY HOW.
The Dalles Times Mountaineer: Mr.
Hermann is making q commendable ef
fort to secure the passage of bill appro
priating $43l 900 for portage railroad
between this city and Cello; but the bill
will not pass the democratic congress. In
the first place, the COVE rnment is moi
anxious to construct and operate rail
roads: and furthermore, the democrat,
in the lower house must do something
for the approaching campaign, and the
most available manner is by cutting
down every appropriation to the mini
mum, and then parading themselves be
fore the people as careful financiers.
