The closing of three banks in Linn
county will be alarming news to Ore
eonians. This state has hitherto stood
unshaken during the storm that has
ragged elsewhere, and it has been mat
ter of pride with the citizens that there
was no danger of financial disasters
because there had been no imitation of
values as the result of "booms." Per-
haps we have been too confident IN
our resources, and have not paid suf-
ficient attention to the baneful influ-
ence that the stagnation in business
and the low prices being offered for
products are exerting everywhere.
With a good price for wool and a fair
market for wheat Oregon is as solid as
the rock of Gibraltar; but, if our raw
materials are being stored in ware
houses and our breadstuffs touch
ing bottom IN low market,
even this state is not safe. If the
apprehension of free trade is causing
such widespread disasters in financial
circles, what will it be when that pol
icy is fully inaugurated9 The answer
to this question is fearful to contem-
plate, and yet the worst must be ex-
pected if the Democratic party is
honest to lis principles as advocated in
the Chicago platform. 1t has always
resulted, from free-trade victories in
the past history OF the country, and
always will in the future.

has left his training school his muscles
would soon lose Their strength and
elasticity If he remained idle; and the
same Is true Of the mental faculties.
Prof. Tyndall has devoted lifetime
to the study of scientific subjects, and
is still an arduous student. He will
so continue until the grave closes his
career. Inside the lecture room theo-
ries have been given young men and
women, and frequently these will not
bear the test of practical experience.
Homer's Iliad contains the grandest
Imagery and most beautiful smiles.
but an acquaintance with these alone
does not prepare lawyer TO manage
an intricate case before our higher
courts, or physician to arrive at a
correct diagnosis of compli-
Gated disease. To be successful
,in any pursuit the man or woman
must possess knowledge in detail of
many things not taught in colleges.
This Is the practical part of education,
and is as necessary to success as the
branches of learning taught inside
university walls. Literature in its
different branches, the facts ascertained
by scientific experiments, the harmony
and beauty of art are all refining in
their influences upon the mental facul-
ties. They prepare them for active,
effective work; but exercise
uous work must be had for strength
and endurance. Life is different from
the school room. There are phenomena
happening daily which are not men
toned in books, and it will require
close analyzation by well cultivated
brains to understand them or ascer-
tain the proper cause. Greek and
Latin, science, art and literature are
very helpful and necessary in under
standing Plato, Euripedes, Cicero, or
the architecture of the Pantheon; but
common sense and practical ideas are
absolutely required to be successful in
earning livelihood in this or any
other country.

WASHINGTON, May EFF the Presiden,

subscribe to the doctrine that office is the
chief aim and end of politics in this cnun-

plain he can count on the support of very
many Democrats besides the Mugwumps.
Yet, strange to say, some blue Mug
wumps dissent. 1t is no sudden outbreak
on Clevelands part: a law of Congress
which, in come ction with departmental ac-
ton, will reform out of existence the pres
ent method of filing the offices.
There is variety of opinions among
men of thought andexperience, precisely as
there was when the Pendleton law was first
broached, Cleveland may or may not go
ahead. He has talked progressively on the
subject for some time. 1t is alleged that
the more he has talked the more determined
he has grown in his own mind.
Nevertheless Cleveland keeps up the
swing of the dictator in executing the pres
ent Civil Service law on the spoils olan :
