4 Formidable Death Agent.

The great ship Ben bow, recently
completed by the British admiralty. is
believed to be the most formidable
war vessel in the English navy. She
is armed with two Hilton guns, 4;
feet inches long, and throwing an
1.s0o-pound shell. The displacement
Of the Benbow is 10, 600 tons, her
speed seventeen knots. The Italia,
not long ago completed in Italy, has q
displacement Of $4,000 tons and a
speed of nineteen knots. though the
weightspf guns is somewhat inferior
to that Of the Benbow. These two
are believed the strongest war vessels
in the world.

Many people have peculiar ''fads,
but one of the strangest ever heard of
was brought to notice at the house of
New York gentleman, recently. A
small dinner party was given, and after
the coffee had been served theEfour
men in the party adjourned to the IL
brary to enjoy cigar and game or
two of whist.
When the host produced the paste
boards it was noticed the design on
the back of no two cards was alike
and that the colors also varied. On
being dealt his hand one of the party
card was written the name of some
street and date. and in every in
stance these were different. When
taking leave OF his host that night he
asked him about it.

In answer to Mr.. Landen this morn
ing, let us say that we cannot assume
that the opinions of the official repre-
sentatives of the churchs fairly repre-
sent the opinions Of their unofficial
membership. He assures us that he has
the majority of his own church with
him on this subject and we believe that
he would Y1,ke no assertion that he did
not know to be absolutely accurate.
That point we concede him at once.
But let us say that it would be a thou
sand times better, in a question so
weighty and overwhelming as this gam
bling discussion, for every man in the
community to think out his own con-
cluslon, and not take the fiat of any
pastor blindly and unhesitatingly. Were
the matter a subject for purely NOR
al application, then any member of
church should feel 1t his privilege and
his duty to follow in the footsteps of
his spiritual leader. But 1t is not open
TO a moral argument alone. Local con-
dltions and common sense we unhes-
ltatingly declare are the only grounds
IN which this question should be
fought,
From the side of morality we stand
hand In hand with Mr.. Landen, as we
have stated time and time again. Gam
bling is wrong. 1t is one of the worst
passions Of human nature. But 1t is
embedded in that nature and we dare
not use cancer knife to tear 1t out.

tatiye government--but that all men
are to be merged in the victorious
party until in some distant future a
complete arrangement of new parties
shall take place. We think we are not
mistaken in saying that such predlc-
tions were made In regard to the
democratic party in 1864, in 1868 and in
1872. We know that they were freely
made in regard to the republican and
democratic parties respectively in 1884
and in 1883. 1t is therefore not sur
prising that the same refrain should
now be heard with reference to the re-
publican party, defeated at the last
election. These prophecies are usually
uttered by sanguine persons, young in
politics If not in years, who hold to the
cheerful belief that history began when
they first entered upon the field Of pub
lie affairs and that all is settled for
ever when they are successful.
1t seems pity to criticise a theory
of human affairs at once so simple and
satisfactory to those who believe in it.,
but unluckily there seems to be no
foundation for this one either in fact
or experience. There has been a great
many elections, and there are going to
be a great many more, and the for
tunes of political parties are going to
vary in the future as in the past
This at least rests on the teachings Of
history, while personal expressions of
faith in the future Of the party to
which one belongs count for little.
The theory that political parties are
in the habit Of being wiped out and
started over again on wholly new lines
rests upon an entirely mistaken con-
ception of history.

We are glad to notice that our eff
forts on behalf of new order of things
at the city Jail have been effective. AL
ready the committee in charge Of that
department has set about the work of
reformation, and In few weeks we
may hope to see matters considerably
improved. But there is much more to
be done before things are in satisfac-
tory condition. However the thin
edge of the wedge in, matters look
hopeful.

Once again let us turn our attention
to the sneak thieves of this city, who
stand so bitterly and with such de-
termined showing against the passage
of an ordinance licensing gambling.
In the front rank, put forward, born
OF, and supported by the low dive keep
ers, is the Evening Budget, a sheet that
lives and feeds on any bestiality to
which 1t can fasten itself; sheet shut
out from respectable homes as vicious.
and breathing disgraceful immortality in
every line. From the day Of it's first
publication no untruth has been too
bold, no disgusting incident too coarse,
and no filth too low for its columns
Today it reaches It's level--the level
where it finds itself an outlet for the
sentiments Of class more disgraceful
and criminal in its instincts than any
other body Of men In the state of Ore
gon.
The public have stood the infiiction of
this filthy organ long enough. The ap-
plause Of its kind keeps It alive. and
in every dive and gambling hell is a
copy of the paper, Its dirt and suggest
iveness finding keen and delighted ad-
miratim in such quarters. And now
urged on by its creators and support
ers,it stops at nothing, blackmail, or
what you will, to prevent the wholesale
demolition of the blackguards for which
It lives. And why? The reason is sim
pie enough. Take away and wipe out
the degraded loafers that infest Swill-
town and its readers and supporters
are gone for ever.
At the back of this sheet stands the |
front row OF it's assistants-men of the
calibre of and standing Of Pete Dou.
REL" Harry Christensen" etc, etc. Il
1t not, we ask In all conscience al
eternal disgrace to our city that sucf
individuals can carry on their traffic IL
boys and young girls unmolested? Now,
II ever is the time for the honorable ell,
ment Of the community to assert It,
self, and, by the blow It can inflict by
the passage Of the ordinance, for evel
rid us of at least large portion Of this
dlsgraceful horde.
We have felt 1t a duty we owe to our
readers to say in no equivocal language
what we think on this point, and, hav-
ing done this, and having dealt with the
subject plainly and openly, let us say
that under no circumstances will we in
future stoop to notice the accusations
and untruths of such newspaper
Knowing the source from which these
accusations spring, knowing by what
class OF men they are prompted, and
for what object they are made. we in
tend to refrain from soiling our hands
in reply or protestation. The respect
able element of the community will
know and understand why we take this
course.

Mr.. J. P. BIaizc, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa, mar
rowly escaped ono OF tho severest at
lacks Of pneumonia while in the north
ern part of that state during a recent
blizzard, says the Saturday Review. Mr..
Blaize had occasion 10 drive several
miles during the storm and was SO thor
oughly chilled that he was unable to
get warm, and inside OF an hour after
his return he was threatened with n
severe case OF pneumonia or lung fever.
Mr.. Blaize sent TO the nearest drug
store and got bottle OF Champeriain's
Cough Remedy, of which he had often
heard, and took number OF large doses.
He says the effect was wonderful and in
a short time he was breathing quite
easily. He kept on taking the medicine
and the next day was able to come to
Des Moines. Mr.. Blaize regards his
cure as simply wonderful
