which he considers the best. He saws:

SO combined that the powder produces

The report on the Homestead
affair drawn up by Chairman Oates
of the Investigating Committee
would have been verv fair docu
ment but for its attempt to make
political capital by charging the
Mckinley bill with responsibility
for the decline in prices, which
caused the decline in wages. In
this matter the Democrats are in a
fair way to overreach themselves.
If they ad nit that the prices Of
a n 'rican g,nlI decline under the

Protection, Free Trade. Reciprocity and

Silver Question and other national is

The whole country is aroused and the
interest is already at white heat-noth-
ing else seems TO be talked of. The His
tory Company of San Francisco reccgniz-
ing the immense demand for Icliticai lit
erature, have issued two beautiful new
books which will sell lik. wild fire. One
is the Lives OF Cleveland and Stevenson
with able discussions of Democratic
principles by powerful Democratic states
men-the other, the Lives of Harrison
and Reid with splendid articles by
equally eminent Republican leaders
Every voter sh ,uld have these books.
The sale promises to be enormous. The
publishers want live agents as will be
seen from their advertisement in an
other column. Such a splendid chance
for rapid money making is rarely offer
ed, and those who would take advantages
OF 1t must act at once, as thousands have
been waiting for the opportunity and
the publishers will be overwhelmed will

1T is OF interest to review the his
tory of early events in Oregon. The
Salem Statesman is authority for
the statement that George Winslow
was the first colored man to reach
Oregon. He came from California
in 1884 with Ewing Young. In
1910 the ship Albatross, from Bos
ton, entered the Columbia river
and sailed up as high as Oak Point,
when the captain erected house,
after having cleared the land. So
far as any record goes this was the
first house built in Oregon. Lee,
Parker and Whitman were the Grst
missionaries. They came in an
swer to call from the Indians made
in 1882. The first printing press
received in Oregon came as a dona-
ton from the American board of
foreign missions in the Sandwich
islands to the mission of the board
Of Oregon. 1t reached its destina-
tion at Lapwai and was put in
operation by E. o. Hall, who print
ed books in the Nez Perce language.
Both Mr.. Spaulding and Mr.. Rogers
soon learned to set type. This was
ir%s s39 and this same press is now
@fthe state house in Salem.

Cholera is now raging in

z Cholera is now raging in Eu
rope. No plague in history has
been more dreaded and more fatal
than this scourge called ''Black
Cholera" When once it gets its
grip on people it loosens not un-
til it has snatched hence strong
men, good mothers and promising
children. The dreaded monster
has robbed homes on both sides of
the Atlantic. But Asia seems to
be the land worst scourged by this
fatal epidemic. Americas vista
tion of it was at the time of her
formation period, when Chicago
was being built and the great tide
of immigration was flowing west
ward. Yellow fever, though. has
been Americas tormentor. And
diphtheria has bereaved the
mothers of almost every com
munity. The cause of all these
epidemics is filth. The germ O
death lies in every rubbish anc
slop deposit.

AN EDUCATIONAL QUALItICA-
TION.

The question of whether an edu-
cational qualification should not
be required of the voters of this
state should be submitted at the
next election. A good idea woald
be to place on the ballotthe words:
"For an educ ational qualification
requiring every voter to be able to
write his name ard read any secJ
tion Of the Constitution in the Eng
lisb language" or against it. 1t r.
not seen what value to the electof-
ate man can be who can't write
his name, and read in English
section of the Constitution that
may be selected. A rule of that
kind ought to encourage those
whose early education has been neg
lected to qualify themselves Ion th9
duties of citizenship. The aduM
who cannot read sor write can hy a
determined effort speedily acquire
those accomplishments. It is too
much the fashion To believe that
the iiiiterate person cannot improve
himself no matter to what age he
has attained. It is generally be
iieved that to this inquiry a thun-
dering response in the affirmative
will be returned. But that alone
will not bring about the change. A
constitutional amendment setting
up the new rule will subsequently
have to be formulated and submit
ted to the people for ratification.

to be worn as token of grief until one

might think they had at last reached a

that they had concluded to be more like

Eugene Sues Vanity.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed when
his works were the vogue, Eugene Sue
posed much more as man of fashion
than man of letters. After his dinner
at the Cafe de Paris he would gravely
stand on the steps smoking his cigar and
listening to the conversation with an air
OF superiority without attempting to
take part In it. His mind was supposed
to be far away, devising schemes for the
social and moral improvement of his
fellow creatures. These philanthropic
musings did not prevent him from pay
ing a great deal of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance, for
even in those days of beaus, bucks and
dandies, of Counts d'Orsay and others,
men could hot help thinking Eugene
Sue overdressed.
He rarely appeared without spurs to
his boots. and he would no more have
done without new pair of white kid
gloves every evening than without his
dinner. Other men. like Nestor de
ROqueplan, Alfred de Musset and Major
Fraser, did not mind having their gloves
cleaned, though the process was not so
perfect asst is now. Eugene Sue averred
that the smell of cleaned gloves made
him Ill. The unhappy man finally fell
into poverty, was quietly cashiered from
ms fashionable clubs and died in OBJ
scurity.-Chicago Post.

This is a great country for crazes.
They sweep over the country like cy-
clones. Whence they come and whittier
they go man knoweth not. A few years
ago the entire country was in the throes
Of the pedestrian craze. In every city,
town and village athletes were YEARLY
tramping around and around a sawdust
circle, while thousands of spectators ap-
plauded the dreary exhibition. Nobody
walks now that can ride.
Next we had the roller skating craze,
which affected both men and women.
1t, too, has gone glimmering, leaving a
trail of broken bones in its wake. The
bicycle craze is now upon as, and bids
fair to become chronic disease. The
men have had the red necktie craze and
recovered from it in time to laugh at the
