The taxpayers of Baker county are do
ing work for their county that the
CHRoNIcLE has undertaken for this one.
They are investigating the incomes of
the several offices with view to placing
them on some basis more in harmony
with reason and common sense. 1t is
safe to say that the day of big, fat
salaries for county offices, altogether out
OF proportion to the work done or the
qualification of the incumbents, will
soon come to an end.

The highest tribunal in the land has
declared that Ex-Speaker Reed was
right when, in the last house of repre-
sentatives, he insisted on counting a
quorum when the quorum was present
althoug less than quorum voted. The
court held that when a majority of each
house is present the house is in position
to do business and its capacity to do
business is then established. This is
cerated by the mere presence of a ma
jority and does not depend upon the dis
position or the assent or the action of
any single member or fraction of the
majority present. All that the consti-
tuition requires is the presence of ma
jority and when the majority is present
the power of the house arises. And so
it turns out that Scar" Reed was right
after all and all the talk we heard year
ago about ''usurpation" and ''autocracy''
were the vaporings of ignorance and dis
appointment.

Enthusiastic People at the rheater


| suppose most people go to the thea
ter to enjoy themselves. That is what
go. for. People are differently con-
structed, of course, and have different
ways of showing their appreciation of
the play. l can stand the catcall, the
screech, the kick and the clap of the
hands, and it does not annoy me much
If the man or woman back of me or to
one side gives vent to loud outlaws,
whether think the play is funny or not.
We are all not built on the same pattern
in this respect.
But would like to know what sort of
consolation a certain class gets out of re-
peating the last few words that an actor
says. l have had people sit near me
who kept up that sort of thing during
the entire play. The words are repeated
loud enough to be heard dozen seats
away. Sometimes these receptive peo-
pie will repeat an entire sentence after
the actor whose words affect them. |
wonder what sort of a mania that is?-

A Startling Incident.

A native in Kulu, India, had to all ap-
pearance died. AS the body was being
carried for cremation it suddenly sat
bolt upright on the bier, demanded its
clothes and asked to be told where it
was being carried. The bearers, believ-
ing that an evil spirit had terminated
the body. dropped it and fed. The man
thus left alone unwound himself and
walked home. The ex-corpse has de-
clined to have anything more to do with
his relatives or their religion. London

Assessor Sears, of Multnomah, puts
in strong plea for little better treat
ment of county assessors. He would
like to see the law amended SO that
assessors would make all needed copies
of their rolls instead of the county
clerks. He justly claims that assessors
and their deputies are familiar with
the rolls and if allowed to copy
them would be able to correct any errors
the original might contain. Besides it
would give assessors employment be-
tween assessments, and better still, the
work would be done after allowing good
wages to the assessors, at about one
tenth the price allowed by law to the
clerks. "Last year." said Mr.. Sears, 81
made $1,000 for my years work, while
the clerk got $4,000 for making two
copies that took him only two weeks to
finish." OF course the clerk employed
a number of hands to do the work but
there is no sense or reason or justice in
making such discrimination in the
wages OF two offices which require, at
least, equal intelligence and clerical
ability.

co.mopolitan Cookine.

There is belief current that what
ever can be procured for money can be
had in this city, especially if it is any
thing to eat. The people who flock here
from every part of the country are apt.
sooner or later, to import their native
dishes, and to make them acceptable to
gastronomic New York.
New England, no matter how lightly
her cooking may be estimated, has had
notable success of this kind. Baked
beans, pumpkin pie and Boston brown
bread are with us. The western man
and his pork are known and appreciated.
The Frenchman, the Irishman, the Eng
hshman, the German and the Italian
can go into any restaurant and find his
national food.-New York Evening Sun.

The trouble between the state board
of railroad commissioners and the
Union Pacific railroad company in
regard to freight rates will soon
be disposed of. The railway people
in consultation with the general Office
at Omaha, decided to accept the re-
vised schedule of rates proposed by the
commission. 1t is pleasant to know
that the board has, so far at least, been
doing something to earn its wages.

STATE OFFICIALS.
The New York Evening Post lately

The New York Evening Post lately
made quotation and application of
scripture text with an incisiveness and
aptitude that ought to commend it's
editor to chair in some theological
seminary. A large number of eminent
Presbyterians had gathered at the man
sion of Jay Gould and jays heart had
opened wide enough to subscribe $lO,-
600 to the cause of church extension.
"One of the clergymen" says the Post
"who spoke on the duty of generosity,
and the dangers of selfishness which be-
set the rich, closed with an apology fer
venturing to treat of such a subject in
such presence. We cannot refrain
from putting his words alongside those
of a writer, who seems to be getting very
old-fashioned in religious circles:

CITY OF WEsTBRoOK.
Yesterday Was Marked by Two Accidents
in the Neighboring City.

Yesterday forenoon, Joseph Bishop,
an employee in Foster & Browns machine
shop, while attempting to shift belt
had his hand caught between the belt
and pulley. His arm was drawn around
the pulley and he was carried bodily
toward the ceiling of the room, but the
belt fortunately broke and he was
dropped to the floor, thus escaping pos
sible and instant death. AS it was his
left arm was badly broken at the wrist.
AS westerly bound electric car was
coming down the Haskell hill on Main
street, milk wagon attempted to cross
the track at the foot of the hill, and was
struck by the car and completely
wrecked. The wagon belonged to VIM.
johnson and was driven by a young man
by the name of Libby, who was thrown
from his seat to the street, while the
horse and cart were carried by the car
some forty or fifty feet. The driver es-
capped with few bruises. The horse,
strange to say, was not killed nor appar-
entity injured while the wagon became a
subject for extensive repairs.
This will be the great evening for the
Red Men of Westbrook, who are to en-
terrain brethren from Massachusetts,.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21st, INSTANT,
the date designated by Congress as the. -Four
Hundredth Anniversary of the discovery of
America has been declared National holiday
1t is pre-eminently fitting at this time. when
our Country is lending its energies to celebrate
upon scale Of unparalleled grandeur the great
achievement of Columbus it revealing to the
world the wonders of a new continent that this
day so fraught with historic interest should be
given such an observance as shall serve to
Undue the minds of the rising generation with
deep and abiding sense of its Importance.
1t has been wisely urged by the National
Educational Association and by the Worlds
Congress Auxiliary of the Worlds Columbian
Exposition, that upon this occasion "all the
people of the United States unite in a celebra
ton of the anniversary. of which celebration
the public schools of the Republic be every
where the CENTRE" Now, therefore, I. Edwin
G. Burleigh, Governor of the Stale of Maine,
do earnestly recommend that Columbus Day
be observed by the schools of our State as a
public holiday and that citizens generally sus-
pend, SO far as possible, their customary BUSH
ness pursuits and lend themselves to the cele-
bration of the day. which commentaries the
opening up of this continent to a progress at
once the wonder and admiration of the world.

HOUSTON CAR WORKS.
Messrs. j. NJ. Lunt and George W. BeaIe
Arrive at Houston.

The Houston, Texas, Daily Post of
Saturday last says:
1.-THE gentlemen who are to superin-
tend the erection of the car works at
Houston Heights, Mr. ]. M. Lunt of Bos-
ton and Mr.. George w. Beale OF Port
land, Me-, arrived in the city yesterday
morning. and at once proceeded to make
a personal inspection of the site pro-
posed for the building.
A Post reporter saw both gentlemen at
the Hutchins House yesterday afternoon.
and was agreeably impressed with them
as men of business. Mr.. Lunt has been
railroad man all his life, and was for
years connected with the Cincinnati.
Chicago & Indianapolis, and Portland d
Rochester lines, while Mr.. Beale has
been connected for many years with the
Portland Locomotive and Car Works as
superintendent Both gentlemen are
most favorably impressed with what
they have seen of the city, and especially
SO with the site selected for the factory.
Mr.. Lunt says he is here for business
more than for anything else, and the
first thing he and Mr.. Beale have to do is
to get the building started, so that as the
heavy machinery arrives it can be placed
in position and the walls set around it.

INSTRUMENTATION spiritual fellow
ship and always and everywhere work
for the furtherance of the cause of
Christ and for all things in society, gov
eminent, education and business which
tend to make men better. It was, how

man gives the more he will feel like
working to see that his gift is effective.

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-The Chicagoan is
social and has little 'sform" or vainglory.
The streets are motley with all manner
Of raiment, but men are kinder and more
civil than elsewhere. Doubtless this has
come about from the Babylonish mixture
of tongues and folk. People are in a
hurry at Chicago, but they rarely push
each other rudely. Women crowd on
board a street car that has no vacant
seats, and the men bury their faces deep
in the daily news. Crowds gather about
turtle at restaurant, and human curl
osity is at its apex. A brass band is al
ways welcome, and the poorer the better.
The man who does not wear some kind
Of button badge is regarded with sus-
picion as being member Of some very
secret society. A well to do man who
does not belong to building association,
a political club, a trade league, an in
surance lodge, three social clubs and a
church is Sinking the average RESPONSE
bilities Of Chicago life. Duplicate whist
is fastened well upon the town and fol-
lows progressive euchre as cholera fol-
lows grip. The mature Chicago man,
however, is the opposite of Chicago in
temperament. The city is forever agog.
The successful average citizen loves
to sit on his doorstep in summer and
smoke his pipe. He waters his grass;
he reads his newspaper with fidelity
worthy of an editor. Occasionally he
sits down and criticises his editor, or,
more often, helps his editor in the
roasting" Of neighbor. He takes a
little stock in the fair, but lets the rich
men run that matter, for he knows they
have never yet failed. He is critical
and cynical, for he does not think things
in general are going exactly right, yet
the fair directors have spent ten mil
lions, and I'D question Of their good in
tentions in all things has come to the
surface. JOHN McGovERN.
