A chap is now travelling through the
country trying to swindle parties with a
contract for wire fence. He offers to give
enough wire to fence a. ten-acre field if
the party will sign a contract to take the
agency for the wire. The contract is
where the swindle comes in, for if read
closely it turns out to be a promisory
note for $3.50, after a few words are erased
with oxalic acid.

NOTES FOR WOMEN.

The teachers instute was full Of
interest, and attention never flag.
ged as subject after subject was
introduced, that of hygienic physi
olosy was warmly discussed. 1t
was presented by Mrs. Preident
keezel of Philomath who made
several good points. That the
very parents who declare that they
can teach everything of the kind
lhatis requisite to their children
are the ones who say that they
never learned physiology and such
study is not necessary. Professor
Brownson OF McMinnville spoke
strongly on the evils of the cigar
cite and urged the teachers TO set
their faces against the habit. An
other Prof. said that practical
illustration was worth oceans of
talk, and that few simple chem
ical experiments with nicotine
and alcohol had worked wonders
in his school.
Mrs. Riggs, state supt. of the W.
@. L. o., with quite a number OF
the friends of the cause, were en-
tertained Tuesday evening by Mrs.
T. Berchtold. Mrs. Riggs spoke
on this subject and also about the
home for unfortunate women
which was founded in Portland by
the w. g. r. U. women. Of this
we will hear more at length in the
near future.
Lady Henry Somerset will soon
return to England, but will still
continue her articles for the Union
Signal. Would that we might
transplant so choice flower to our
fair American climate and soil.
Mrs. Riggs says that women
might as well be ordained as
ministers for they will preach
without ordination. One hundred
and six pulpits were filled in Bos-
ton by women attending the
worlds W. @. L. y. convention
Women will some day be emanci-
pated.
Women have full suffrage in
Wyoming, municipal suffrage in
Kansas and school suffrage i'll the
following states and territories:
Arizona, Colorado, Delaware,
Idaho, Illinois, Kansas Kentucky.
Massachusetts, Michigan, Mimi
esota, Montana, Nebraska. New
Hampshire, New jersey, New
York, North Dakota, Oklahoma
Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont.
Washington, Wisconsin, and
Wyoming. In some of these
states woman has unrestricted suf-
frage. In others the right is
more or less restricted. E. M. S.

A POINTER.

Good judgment and the rules OF
propriety should prompt a news
paper man to hew to the line, and
not even by inlirection invade an
adjoining judicial district. Sug-
gestions are almost always out oil
order-at least, they are solcpnsid
cred. We feel confident that our
republican brethren of the third
district are we'll able 10 look alter
the personal Of their judgeship and
see that clean republicanism shall
prevail.
The third district, from a repub-
lican standpoint, is very fortunate,
indeed, in possessing strong judi
cial timber Burnett and Ford of
Salem, Mccain of Yamhill, VOL
verton, Hewitt and Blackburn of
Linn, besides many others, are all
able and worthy. We presume
possibly on the long standing of
the GAZETTE as straight up-and
down exponent Of republican prin-
ciples when we modestly make
the suggestion that there is not a
single one of the learned gentle
men named whose republicanism
has ever been below low water
mark. 1t may be true no one of
these gentlemen has an ambition
in that direction. We believe in
none of this low water mark kind
Of republicanism or in solidifying
around one whose allegiance IS ac-
tive to the different sops-isms,
alliances, etc.-in these days rid
den for political and judicial pre-
ferrment. These old calamity
breeders should be sat down upon
hard. The republican party i'll its
onward march cannot cater to
those mischief makers who follow
in the wake of all the prevailing
issues, and who are more fre-
quently found in the enemy's camp
than our own.
The republican party of the
third district, as regards judgeship.
ought not in decency be ridden fol-
revenue purposes only. That is
getting to be an old, old game
Policy, expediency and soft solder
only feed disease and is no part OF
republican doctrine; its use is get
ting 10 be old in certain places
Years ago we read the Arabian
Nights, and remember the old
man Of the sea and we commend
the story as containing material
for thought to our brethren Of the
third district.
Reward should be for merit

Of the New York Herald has re-
Gently furnished that paper with a
table made up of the interviews

RIVER AND HARBOR.
The Ureaonlan Washingl

The Oresonlans Washingt
correspondent says the river and
harbor bill is how completed and
is ordered reported to the house.
Representative Hermann secures
great results for Oregon. His slate
aggregates more appropriations
than any state i'll the Union, with
the exception of New York. The
great canal and locks at the Cas-
cades of the Columbia receives
nearly $5OO,O0O and is placed un-
der the contract system for COM
pletion, the secretary of war being
authorized to contract for the
whole work, for which $1,31O,OOO
is estimated, exclusive of the sum
now allowed in the present bill,
which becomes Immediately avail
able. Under the contract system
it is expected that ships can pass
through the Cascade canal and
locks of the Columbia within two
years. Mr.. Hermann made a gal
liant and very persistent as we'll
as discreet struggle for the con-
cession to his state. He firmly
insisted that if like privileges were
bestowed Oh any other great works
of the nation, it must now be un-
derstood that the Cascade locks
should be counted in. He stub
bornly resisted any other arrange
ment.
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
This policy will hereafter take
the Cascades canal out of the river
and harbor bill, and Mr.. Hermann
thinks in the next congress the
permanent works at the dalles
and Cello rapids can be under
taken and also placed under con-
tract, unless the senate should
come to the rescue now when the
present river and harbor bill
reaches that body. No separate
bill can possibly pass the house.
in view Of the immense sum which
is now given Oregon in the gen.
eral bill. The items as now Sc
cured in the bill for Oregon are as
follows:

JOHN WANAMAKER, the Philadel-

under a million. He adds: Il

tising."

The Washington correspondent
of the Hartford Courant gives no
credit to Senator Hill for declining
that portion of his salary which
accrued before he took the oath of
office. He says, ':The money re-
mains in the custody OF the senate
subject to his order, and the order
of his heirs, so long as time shall
last and the government shall ex-
ist, unless Mr.. Hill himself shall
direct that it be covered into the
treasury. The trick to which Sen
ator Hill has resorted is one which
was familiar in the days of the sal
ary grab" It will be interesting
to note whether Hill ever orders
1t covered back into the treasury.
Probably he proposes to wait a
year or two, then quietly draw it,
and bestow it safely in the depths
of his own pocket.

THERE is not a week but brings
rumors of either revolution in, or
war among, the Central American
states. There is lesson in this
for us-that we must elevate the
standard of our popular education,
because an educated and intelli
gent voting population constitutes
the only safeguard of popular
form of government and is the
only thing that can give it perpe-
tuity. Ignorance leads to tyranny
and III our case it would be the
tyranny OF mob, which is even
worse than the tyranny of a
despotic ruler.

A sTATIsrIcIAN has establishe,

A sTATIsTIcIAN has established
that every worker in an American
factory consumes over $500 worth
of agricultural produce a year,
while the English workingman
under the most favorable circum-
stances does not use more than
$4.42 worth annually of the pro-
ducts of American farms The
obvious deduction from this fact is
that the American farmer derives
about twenty times as much bene-
fit from having manufacturing
done abroad, because the Ameri-
can factory hand is a twenty times
better customer than the English
worker, who takes more American
farm products than any other for
eign workingman.
