The Or'g1nian probably did more
for the Union cause, during the war,
than any regiment OF soldiers in the
field. Its influence was widespread
and powerful, and it must be remem-
bered that there was time, even on
this Coast, when it required some nerve

that dlsloyal element that had secret
~ taken steps for the formation OF
Pacific Confederacy. To such out
spoken newspapers as the appeal of
Marysville, Cal, the Orcgoniaa OF our
neighboring State, and not excepting
the STANDARD, OF our own quite even
ly divided Washington Territory, the
Union Cause owed more than to the
individual effort, of any man in the
field, though wearing stars on his uni
form. A distraction here would have
probably turned the scale in the even
adjustment of circumstances which
caused the stout heart of President
Lincoln to quail.
1t is well, in writing past events, to
state the whole truth. 1t is we'll to
consider all the circumstances before
stating n conclusion with such owl
like gravity. That the army in the
field did all the fighting-or rather
created conditions which led to COM
plete victory OF our nation over
armed treason--is untrue. That
others who do not figure on dress
parade did something is just as true.
A recognition of this fact by those
who pass judgment upon those who
have earned right to criticise, when
it is SO well known that gigantic
frauds have existed in the pension
office. would be commendable.

the utmost need of economy should

DoGMATIC, VERY.-The Olympian-
Tribune reads lecture to those tax
payers" who enjoined the City Coun.
Gil from doing what they conceived to
be an illegal act, and unqualifedly
condemns their course as subversive of
public policy, without extenuation or
excuse. Now if our contemporary
could only realize how ridiculous it
makes itself by denial of the right of
independent judgment in this free
land OF ours, it would certainly moder.
ate its tone. Assertion does not estab-
lish fact, nor positiveness convince.
A sledge-hammer may be used to
crack nut, but there is danger of
pounding fingers in the awkward pro.
cess, unless the nut lie content to lie
still and be smashed. We protest
against our tender-foot neighbor pass
ing such summary judgment upon
some of our people whose all is In
vested here, and who have hitherto
been noted for probity of judgment.

TREASURE TRovE.-The occupants
of house formerly owned by Judge
Schofeld, at Baker City, Oregon, were
surprised few days ago. by finding in
a number of tin cans, on joist in the
cellar fifty $2O-pieces. The money un.
doubtedly belongs to Judge Schofeld,
who now resides at Grants Pass, Or.
Before leaving Baker City, about one
year ago, he claimed he WAS $4,000
short. This discovery accounts for
$1,000. Of late years, the old gentle
man has been quite feeble and his
memory poor. He has been apprised
OF the find, and the money will be re.
stored to him.

The Proper Spirit.

In marked contrast with the spirit
manifested by some labor organiza-
tons was the action of the Southern
Pacific Railroad employees, the other
day, in Sacramento, CAL, in which up
wards OF 1900 men participated. The
Superintendent explained to the meet
ing that, owing to the financial strin.
gency, the revenues of the company
had been materially reduced by the
falling off of traffic, and the directors
asked acquiescence in holding the pay
car back to Aug. 18th. He said that
the company would appreciate dis
position to assist in meeting its obliga-
tions, but that it would not delay pay
ment an hour longer than was neces-
sary to perfect its plans for passing
through the emergency. The men
unanimously decided to accede to the
proposition. They declared they
would stand by their employers under
all circumstances. When this deci-
sion was made known to the directors
they at once telegrsped their thanks
to the employees.
1t may be said that corporations
have no SOULS" but does anybody be-
lieve that this action will be lost on
that body as long as the present direc-
torate remains? Corporations are but
bodies of men, controlled by individu.
alities that respond to all the condi-
tons which control ordinary transac-
tiOns in life, and it is as safe to expect
kindness for kindness, as it is ili.will
and disposition to resort to acts for re-.
venge whenever heartless disregard
of the interests OF either employer
or employed exists. There is a
warm side to the heart of every hui
man being, and when it is touched, the
human disposition is robbed of half its
selfish instincts. This act OF the work.
ingmen Of the Southern Pacific was
really a wise move, Independent OF
these considerations, for their individ-
ual interests and the company's pros.
perity are, to large degree identical,
but by far the greater benefit will be
derived from promotion of that feeling
of mutual dependence and trust that,
if it could become universal, would
soon lift the business of the country
from the rut in which it has fallen.
A PERTINENT QUERY.-According to
Iron Age, the aggregate capacity OF
the furnaces of the United States is
l4.5JO,7OS gross tone, but OF this only
furnaces of capacity of 100000 tons
can be kept going at present prices,
the Others being TOO expensive. OF
course this means that the expensive
ones can never again be operated, and
might as well be in the Moon as here.
The significance of this is that one.
third of the iron capacity of American
furnaces is useless and the money in
vested in them lost. In view of this.
it might be pertinent to inquire how
many of the men who have worked
upon them and own an equitable in
terest in them, according to the new
theory, are in position to help the
legal owners bear the loss?

QUEER THINGS ABOUT FROGS.

A remarkable thing about these
creatures is that the larger part Of the
breathing is done through the skin In
fact, it is said that this supply OF air is a
necessary addition 10 that taken in by
ordinary breathing, as the latter does
not supply sufficient TO support life in a
frog. Another peculiar thing about the
skin of frog is its powerful absorption
of water. This is due, of course, to the
numberless minute pores with which
their skin is provided. 1t has been
of its weight in water in an hour. The
soaking of water is what gives the frog S
skin such cold, clammy, AID uucanny
feeling when handled, and it explains a
strange thing. Though bullfrog we're
poked with redhot iron, it would not
feel it enough to move out of his tracks,
of film of vapor between it aud the iron,
which it takes time to heat through, and
so the frog would not feel pain from the
heat. Yet, if hot water is dropped upon
him, he will instantly jump from pain as
this heat at once strikes into the skin.
a frog has another safeguard against
DRYING up-that is. a kind of interior
sack for storing water. Like the camel
it thus keeps supply which carries it
over many dry place, when it would
The water is as pure and tasteless as
