A POPULIST Plight,

1t is coming to be pretty well under
stood that the fight on the penitentisry
management is a fight for control Of
POpulist leadership. 1t does not Con-
Germ Republicans or Democrats. II is
not at bottom protest against corrup-
lion or crusade for reform. 1t is a
war of determination against Populisi
leaders by which others would step in
to power.
The fight in reality is not against
Supt. Downing. 1t is part Of a general
onslaught on PenDoyer and Upton as
Populist leaders. They must be de
stroyed that others may succeed them
Unless the Influence of Pennoyer and
Upton can be destroyed certain men
who want high office and can get it in
no other way, can not succeed. They
are directing red hot fight to this end.
Unable to attack the men who stand In
their way in any court or grand jury or
legislature they are conducting q news
paper and schoolhouse besmirching pro-
cess to down Pennoyer and Upton.
Unable to make their case with the
business men o. Salem or the legisla-
ture or circuit court, the battle Is waged
among the farmers for votes. No prom
inent Republicans or Democrats are
aimed at. The fight is directed to
ALLEVIATE Populist support from Populist
leaders and all the old ring politicians
at Salem and Portland clap their hands.
We have no interest in shielding
Downing. He can hold his own. But we
are a lover of fair play, We like to see a
square fight. THE JOURNAL does not
regard that there is particle of SINGER
ity in the effort, 80 far as the men are
concerned who are standing back and
directing the fight in hopes of reapipg
the reward at the polls. Farmers who
are asked to contribute to purify state
politics are really being mulcted to de-
fray the campaigns expenses of men
who will not openly make fight for
reform, but who are helping strike
down men who have done something
for the benefit of the people.

Kind Words For Her Majesty.

A well known bishop, suffering
from impaired vision, was recently
holding levee, and one by one his
guests were being ushered into his
reception room. At length one ar
rived and said:
How do you do, my lord2 My
mother wishes TO be kindly remem-
bered to you"
"Ahpsaid the bishop, that is very
good of her. And how is the dear
old soull Nothing like a good old
mother Be sure to take care of your
old mother. Good morning."
The bishop did not in the least
know who his visitor was and said
to his footman, who was that2"
The servant replied, 1.-THE last gen
teman who left your lordship's re-
ception is the Duke of Connaught."
The dear old soul" was Queen
Victoria. London Tit-Bits.

The Use of the Word "Nrr..n

A curiously awkward word, if it be
a word, is Mrs. 1t is not spelled as
it is pronounced-no one but a
Welshman or a Pole would be equal
to pronouncing it as it Is spelled
and its pronunciation is a clumsy
contraction of the good old English
designation mistress. In days of old,
when, as Air. Austin Dobson has de-
picted for us in 50 many graceful
verses, leisure had not become, as it
is now, almost a forgotten luxury
and people were less anxious to clip
their speech, the full pronunciation
was often used, and mistress" was
not altogether elbowed out of exist
ence by the vulgar 'missis." But
nowadays mistress" has become as
much a term of opprobrium as of
honor, and consequently the con-
tracted pronunciation of Mrs. has
prevailed and holds the field.
Another point worth noting in the
history of the designation is that
about $50 years ago and earlier
Mrs. " was applied quite lmpartially
to unmarried as well married ladies.
Even children were sometimes styled
Mrs" The burial of an infant
daughter of John Milton who died
at the age Of months is recorded in
the parish register of ST. Margaret,
Westminster, and her name is en-
tered as Mrs. Katherine Milton"
followed by small &c" to indicate
that child is meant. But this may
be regarded as an exceptional use of
the title.-Sala's Journal.

One of the most imposing archi-
tectural relics of western Europe is
the aqueduct of Nismes in southern
France. After the lapse of 16 cen
turies this colossal monument stiH
spans the valley, joining Hill to hill
in a nearly perfect state. The high
est range of arches carries a small
canal just wide enough for man to
creep through and still retaining a
thick lining of Roman cement The
height of the structure is lSS feet
and the length of the highest arcade
672 feet. Its use was to convey TO
the city of Nismes the water of two
springs 25 miles distant The only
modern structures worth mentioning
in comparison are the Croton aque-
duct and the waterworks Of Lisbon,

A Hint About Buying BeehIves.

IAN Experienced Lady Beekeep-
er, writing in the London Post, says:
mo hive with less than IS frames is
of any use for profitable beekeeping,

are soon discouraged in their efforts
to improve their apiaries. AS the
purchase of a proper beehive is a
large outlay for the cottager, would
suggest that system of purchase by
installments paid in advance) might
assist to supply this need. The ex-
perts are necessarily few and far be-
tween, and their work is chiefly
among those who can afford to re-
munerate them. The want of an ex-
tractor is also hindrance to the sys-

help to the cottage beekeeper if it
could be arranged for an expert to

his district, taking an extractor with
him, for the use of which a small

tary law equally upon the shoulders
Of every citizen Of whatever rank no
may be.
The nearest approach to the French
universal consumption is to be found
in Germany, but even there the alb
solute equality Of men before the
law is far from holding good. Pro
motion from the ranks is almost un-
known. The rich, who can afford a
university education for their sons
and who can pay sum Of money to
the government, ara exempt from
all serious soldering. These young
men pass a few weeks in barracks
and afterward attend a specified
time of drill, while they are allowed
to lodge outside quarters and follow
their ordinary civil occupations in
the university This lasts, if am
not mistaken, for one year, after
which term they pass into the re-
serve as officers.
Under the French law every man
without exception serves in the army
for at least one year. During that
year he is merged entirely in the pri-
vate soldier. His social rank, If he
has one, is completely ignored, the
officers who command him regard
merely his efficiency and his faithful
ness to duty, and if any difference Is
made between a man of some educa-
ton and the peasants around him it
is in the direction of putting him
into the peloton dinstructiop-a spe-
cies of school drill-where he may
earn in six months or year the
grade of corporal, but in which, on
account of the extra duties the place
involves, the life is harder in man
ua1 labor and has less free time thaA
that of the unambitious trooper out
side.
1t must not be inferred from this
that the peloton dinstruction stands
apart. 1t is held merely during the
hours which are otherwise free time.
Nor must it be imagined for mo-
ment that a man Of a richer class
than his fellows necessarily belongs
to it, Or that men of such a class
form the majority of its members
There may be in company or bat
terry from six to eight eleves caper-
aux and in a whole regiment less
than that number Of gentlemen.
The elevation to the grade of re-
serve officer is also proceeded with
in manner very different from that
obtaining in Germany. The places
in the reserve are given in part to re-
tired officers of the active army and
in part to those men who have fol
lowed the peloton dinstruction for
at least one year and who at the end
of that time are competent to pass a
special examination. Contemporary
