Boise.
At the Republican rati fica,ion meet.
Jog held in Boise last Saturday even
ing three new campaign songs we're
sung, which are undoubtedly very
effective of their kind. The States
man only publishes . few lines Of
each, but these suffice to give fai'
idea of the whole. Here il the sample
of the first:
An-"John Browns Body"
There Amt enough Of stun in It to buy glass d
1. seems :. II the leaders mean. to cut and TAX,
From the boom that's rolling along.
CHORUS:
Sing the song and tell the story.
Harrison ia hunki-dori-
WhOop-'er up and holler glory,
For the boom 10 rolling along.
And that Of the second:
An-"Just Before the Battle. Mother"
Just before the battle, Grover.
A. you look the country over.
CHORUS:
Farewell. Grover. you may never,
Hardly ever, Grover,
Enter IN the White House door:
But you'll know . heap more, Grover,
After this campaign 10 DER.
And that of the third:
An-"Trsnp, Tramp, Tramp"-beginning:
We're not in is0n cell,
And we're feeling mighty we'll.
CHORUS:
Tramp. tramp. tramp, the boys are marching,
Cheering a. the Yankees used to do,
For old Tammany we'll skin,
And you bet our boots we'll win,
For we've got 'em en- the hip In 90.

PROFITS Of sieepine Cars.

An operating official who knows con-
siderable about sleeping cars, their cost
and profit remarked: "Sleeping cars pay
big monev and when one knows the
cost of operating them it is no wonder
A new car costs, good, strong and mod
ern, anyway from $4,000 to $4,000, al
though you hear of them worth twice
that sum. However, those costly cars
don't get outside the shops. Well, the
railroad companies pay three cents a
mile for the privilege of hauling them,
and the car will average 800 miles in
twenty-four hours the year round, or
nine dollars day earnings. Say it only
earns $4,000 year, low estimate, it
will pay for itself in three years.
Now a ten section car has twenty
berths, selling local at two dollars a
berth, making the earning capacity per
night forty dollars, not counting the day
earnings. OF course sleepers don't carry
full loads every night, but if they did
not average ten passengers a day we
would not haul them on our road Now.
we pay, for ice, water and fuel, and in
sure the cars-that is, we repair them
when wrecked or injured. The sleeping
car company pays a porter twenty five
dollars a'month at the most, a conductor
ninety dollars and has to furnish linen
and soap. It is not difficult to see how
the sleeping car companies pay diyi-
dends. Journal

Death I'm a Big city.

The shadows of metropolitan life could
scarcely have a more CHASTITY illustra-
ton than in the case of the corpse of the
old man at Greenwich street window
staring into the windows OF the elevated
cars for two days, the butt of the train
mems Christmas time humor. A little
while before was the killing and. man
Cling of another man on the elevated al
most Immediately opposite window
where sat his wife and child looking in
nocently out and wondering who it was
being carried away under the protecting
blanket.
We are wont to look upon the extraor-
binary situations created by the novelist
and playwright with satirical severity,
but the pen of Sue, Dumas, Dickens and
of a host of imitators never conjured up
from imaginations vivid with research
and practical observation a more pa
thetically impressive picture than is, pre-
sented in the dead man at the Greenwich
street window. Yet such things are SO
common in New York that they are
swallowed up in the great maelstrom of
metropolitan events forgotten in day.

La Grippe plague in London.

So prevalent and fatal is the influenza
in London that all the Surrey church
yards are as full of new made graves as
if battle had just been fought in the
neighborhood. Grave-diggers are kept
at work all night and hearses are to be
seen going and coming at all hours.
The majority of deaths are among older
people. Like Jobs comforters physic-
ians are now predicting that next year
will bring cholera. The chief medical
director of a leading life insurance COM
pany says that influenza has cost the
company more loss in the last two years
than did the cholera in 1S43. He fur
ther remarks: 'sIn- every country in
Europe local outbreaks OF cerebro-spinal
meningitis has followed in its wake and
have destroyed over ninety per cent. Of
those attacked, and / see no reason why
this disease might not at any time throw
off its comparatively benign character
and appear in it's true malignity to cast
terror and CONSERVATION among the ma
tions of the earth. -

The Hood River Glacier says a coffin
factory is about to be started at that
place. Since the CHRONICLE has read
the resolutions of the Hood River demo-
cratic club it has been wondering if the
Glacier really means a real live coffin
factory, SO to speak, or if the facetious
editor merely used this form of speech
to indicate that the club intends to pre-
pare numerous lot of candidates for
political interment against the ides of
June.

The spread of Infiuenxa.

The outbreak of influenza is spreading
fast, with its customary concomitant of
ahighly increased mortality from res
piratory affections. In the metropolis,
for one week, thirteen deaths were at
tributed primarily. to influenza, the total
death rate being 1919 per 1000, or slight
ly less than the preceding week. 1t may
be noted that the death rate at Plymouth
for the week ending Nov. % was 3s.3,
or precisely double what it was three
weeks previously. There has also been
= rise in the death rates of Newcastle
on-Tyne and Sunderland. Influenza con-
tinues to be very prevalent in Scotland;
it has appeared in severe form at
Sandy, one of the isles of Orkney. In
Glasgow it is said that it has never been
SO widespread and severe as at the pres
ent time, and almost the same is true of
Edinburgh. In both places the resources
of the profession have been severely
taxed.
Abroad the accounts are of like i'm
port. At Berlin it has been prevailing
during the past month. 1t has been
very severe at Hamburg and Dusseldorf,
and is also spreading rapidly in the Sile-
sian provinces and Schleswig- -Holstein.
It has appeared again in Paris, where
Professor Brouardel has stated that it
was responsible for 100 deaths during
one week. The Australian mails bring
accounts of the deaths of several promi-
nent Melbourne citizens from influenza,
and our New Zealand correspondent
also speaks of its preva1ence.-London

STATE OFFICIALS.
COUNTY OFFICIALS.

If it be true, as it is reported, that
President Harrison, will not consent to
the appointment of Mr.. Simon to the
federal judgeship of the ninth district,
Notwithstanding all the pressure that
has been brought to bear upon him by
the Oregon delegation, the decision
redowns very much to the credit of the
president. 1t shows that Mr.. Harrison
brings conscience to bear upon the max
ing OF his appointments and that no
amount of partisan service will atone
for the lack of the higher qualities that
ought to adorn the judicial bench. Mr..
Simon is staunch republican and an
able lawyer but President Harrison, it
would seem, does not consider these
sufficient. If Mr.. Simon's political
methods, successful though they may
have always been, were less shady, less
liable to just criticism and more con-
sistent and honorable, there cannot be a
doubt he would have captured the
judicial prize. The action of Mr.. Harri-
ron is only an incident in the official life
of a president who has made fewer mis-
takes in his appointments than any
other president since Abraham Lincoln.

How FaeNcH eANk elLls Aae MADE.

More Than Four Hundred PeFsops Are
Employed In Misunderstanding Ehens.< +
All bills are issued by the Bank Of
France, which carries on the whole proc
ess Of manufacture, including even that
of the paper on which they are printed,
and the ink used. The paper factory is
at La Ferte-sous-. Jouar where linen;
rags are SO treated as to produce paper
of peculiar quality This special pa
per is made, inspected, cut into sheets
and shipped to Paris under the care of
two of the bank officials, who are held
responsible for every sheet.
The sheets are packed in bundles q
1000 in each. and are printed. in the
easements of the bank building in Paris.
AS with the blank paper, the bills, in
every stage OF fabricat ion, are IN charge
Of some official, who must account for
every one which has come into his hands,
either by showing it, or receipt given
for it by the official to whom he has
handed it over. As the bank has some
times printed 400, 900 bills day, and at
such periods employs about 400 persons
in the printing, department, strict ac-
counts are necessary toprevent loss. and
an elaborate system of humbugging and
checking is used.
A series of bills consists of 1000, which
are numbered from to l, 900, and twen-
ty-five series, 1ettered A, B, e, etc., and
tied up together, under the name of an
alphabet" After each operation, the
bills are verified by women, who sign
their names on the band placed around
the bundlese As there are nine opera
tions, there must be nine verifieations,
and the final verification is repeated, by
fresh set of inspectors, so that nothing
can be overlooked. After the bills are
complete they are delivered to the secre-
tary of the bank, who examines them
and gives receipt for them, discharging
the head of the printing department from
further responsibility. They are then
placed in the vaults and are withdrawn
for issue only by order of the governors
of the bank.
The principal difficulty in regulating
the accounts comes from the defective
bills. No bill is allowed to pass the in
spectors which shows a spot, an uneven
margin, defect in printing or any other
imperfection, and the bills thrown ont
must be recorded in the books with quite
as much accuracy as those which pass
successfully to the final stage. Every
bill rejected by the inspectors is stamped
and its place in the series. filled by q
check. The stamped bills go to the sec
retury of the bank, who puts them un
der lock and key, and new bills, CORE
spending to the checks, are printed, and
credit is given to the paper manufactory
for the paper necessary to make these.
The accounts of the ..faulted" bills
are carried through the books and fol-
verifcation the stamped bills them
selves are kept for five years. !. at the
end of that time. if there has been nc
question about them, the regents of the
bank, the secretary. the examiners, the
chiefs of the printing department, and
the chiefs of the department of bill ac
counts join in signing an order, in pur
suance of which they are taken from the
vaults and destroyed LIE Genie Civile.

Russia at Herself Arain.

Worse than the famine news from
Russia is the announcement that meas
ures are to be initiated for the restora-
tion of serfdom. The reason given for
the retrograde movement is that the
land allotted to the local comnIuRals is
not sufficient to supply the wants of the
rapidly multiplying population. 1t is
proposed to allot vast tracts of land to
the peasants to be occupied under serf
tenure, one third of the to be used
for their support, another third for the
payment of local debts to the state, and
the remaining third to pay government
taxes. The occupants will be bound to
the soil. 1t is said that the trial will be
made in two or three provinces, and if
successful the system viii be generally
extended.

least, they will constitute and embody
the public policy. No more robber tax

there are no factions. In great

The Presidents Thanksgiving
Proclamation.

WASHINGTON, November 4.-The fol-
lowing has been issued from the execu-
tive mansion:
By the President Of the United States Of
America-A Proclamation:
The gifts of God to our people during
the past year have been so abundant and
so special that the spirit OF devout
Thanksgiving awaits not a call, but only
the appointment of a day when it may
have a common expression. He has
stayed the pestilence at our door; He has
given us more love for the free civil insti
tutions in the creation of which His
directing providence was so conspicu-
GUS He has awakened deeper rever-
ence for law; He has widened our
philanthropy by a call to succor the dis
tress in other lands; He has blessed our
schools and is bringing forward a pa
triOtic and GOd-fearing generation to ex-
ecute His great and benevolent designs
for our country; He has given us increase
in material wealth and a wide diffusion
of contentment and comfort in the homes
of our people; He has given His grace to
the Borrowing.
Wherefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, Presi-
dent of the United States, do call upon
all our people to observe, as we have
been wont, Thursday, the twenty-fourtn
day of this month ofNovember, as day
of Thanksgiving to God for his mercies
and of duplication for His continued
care and grace.
In testimony whereof, I have here
unto set my hand and caused the seal OF
the United States to be affixed.
Done at this city of Washington this
fourth day of November, one thousand
eight hundred and ninety two, and of the
independence of the United States, the
one hundred and seventeenth.

Secretary of State.
