the policemen on guard graciously per-
mitEng him to pass when told who he
was. His dress was not at all reassur-
ing to the officers, for he wore a soft
slouch hat and a light-colored spring
overcoat, which was too small for him.
The want of elegant apparel may ac-
count for the rough reception which
followed.
He had just found dry spot on the
sidewalk to watch the progress of the
fire when a policeman, who saw him
from the opposite side of the street,
rushed across, and, without word of
explanation seized the governor by the
arm.
''Here! here!' he said, ''outside the
lines! outside the lines! You haven't
any badges
There was a moment of suspense in
the ranks of the governors friends, and
while the youngest was trying to reach
the policeman and inform him whom he
was pushing the governor turned and
looked at the officer, and little news
boy called out: Its de guv'nor!' The
officer released his hold and walked off,
looking very foolish.

President Clarkson is undoubtedly a
smart man and good republican, but
he makes poor argument for the su-
perierity of republican management
when he says that the recently inaugu-
rated administration has shown an ad-
verse balance of foreign trade in the last
four months of $SO,oOo,OOO against a
favorable balance of $70,OOO,00o in the
frst four months of Harrison's admins
tration. The time in both instances is
too short to be influenced by either ad-
Eninistration other than that made re-
sponsible by its predecessor. His other
utterances in arraignment of democratic
party are truer, though there is nothing
especially original in them, the negro
question especially being time-honored
and threadbare.

The recent panic in Wall street was
the result of some of the trusts which
curse the country. In few, and very
few cases, trusts may be honestly man

honest and fair competition and thus ex-
tort unearned profits from the consum-
ers. In most cases, however, they prac
tice the additional fraud of enormously
er-capitalizing their combinations, is
sting stocks greatly in excess of the cost
or the value of their property. As these
manipulators know the ficticious value
of these stocks and their capitalization
they naturally unload when the least
furry comes. In such a case, the in
hated stocks sink to something like their
real value, and those who held them
when the fall came are badly hurt. I'm

of these trust stocks, crush must come,

Experience of the Massachusetts Execu-
tive at the Boston Fire.
ALI the personal habits of William
Eustis Russell, the young governor of
Massachusetts, are characterized by
their simplicity and freedom from con-
ventionality. He apparently takes the
same pleasure in grasping the hand of
the lowliest hod-carrier as in talking
state finance with the president of the
biggest bank in Boston. AS governor
he goes to the balls of various social or
ganizations, looks on for half hour,
chats with the floor director and the
chairman of the committee on arrange
ments and then goes away to do the
same thing at another. He received in
one year during his present term of of
fee over four thousand invitations to
balls, banquets, charity fair openings,
meetings and various other events. He
accepted all that it was humanity posi-
BILE to attend, and for weeks at a time
he did not reach his bed until long after
midnight.
In company with Adjutant General
Dalton the governor was early at the
recent great fire in Boston. He got in

Il Legal OPINION.

A reporter of THE CHRONICLE sought
a leading lawyer of The Dalles today for
light upon the legal probabilities and
possibilities of the injunction suit now
pending. 1t was this gentleman's opin-
ion that the injunction suit would be
sustained as regards the Soldiers Home,
for the law in question could scarcely be
palmer. He did not think, however,
that the Eastern Oregon asylum would
come under this category, reasoning
that the mere fact of the building is not
the institution. The state would have
the right to build a supreme court
building at Pendleton, say for the accom-
mediation of the Eastern Oregon session,
1t merely being business proposition of
owning building instead of renting
one. In the same manner a branch
asylum could be located away from
Salem, being a part of the institution at
Salem, having the same board of
directors as at Salem and acting
nnder their instructions. In other
words building is not an institution,
but rather the management, the building
being the means to the end. The state
does not believe it advisable to increase
the number of patients at one point and
does desire that another asylum, to
work in conjunction with the Salem
asylum, be located elsewhere.

lance like nothing in the world so
much as a colony of beehives, lives a
community of six hundred or seven
hundred people, who are variously be-
lieved to be the descendants OF one of
the lost tribes of Israel, the aborigines
of southern India and community of
Manichaens.
They live on milk and the produce OF
the buffaloes, and as the unknown is

bors, much fearing what they do not
understand, pay them fees as wizards
for value received in occult matters,
and as n retaining fee for their
aid in counteracting the spells
of the dread men of the
slopes, who do their business with
beasts of prey, track the bison, snare
the leopard-a fearsome people, whose
women leave their children in the
charge of tigers when they go forth to
cultivate the barley and the amaranth
and to gather honey in the woods.
They believe in strange trinity and
hell, dismal stream full of leechcs;
and this they must cross by means Of a
single thread. The soul, burdened with
sin, is too heavy for this slender sup
port, and the sinner falls into the
stream, but the thread sustains easily
the souls of the good.

to have reached the patriarchal age of
fifteen hundred years. A part OF one
side of the tree had rotted. and, after IL
had been felled, in burning mp the SUR
rounding brush, still more of the tree
was destroyed by fire, sothat the width
of the plank represents less than half
of the original diameter of the tree.
The entire height of the tree was three
hundred feet; the plank being cut from
section of the trunk twenty-eight
feet from the ground. The plank is
the largest in the world, its dimensions
being as follows: Sixteen feet five
inches wide, twelve feet nine inches
long and five inches thick. 1t is highly
improbable If tree will ever be found
that will yield larger plank; so that
the mammoth piece of timber here de-
scribed may certainly be termed the
sight of lifetime"
In the exhibit of the Argentine Re-
public is shown an octagonal block of
