Enioyed Itself.

A bright little featherd songster walked
into our sanctum yesterday afternoon,and
chirped cheerfully as it skipped on our
exchange table, and settled itself content
edly on some of our esteemed cotempo-
raries." We presented it bowl of water
and it drank its fill and then took regu-
lation bath. After this it went into the
composing room, mounted the forms
of the TIMEs-MOUNTAINEER and then gave
forth song of glee. There are very few
elements of superstition in our religious
predictions; but the visitor was made
welcome, and after 1t was considered that
the bird had stayed a fashionable time to
be considered "call." it was given its
freedom Afterwards from the spreading
branches of a cottonwood tree opposite
its song was joyous, and it seemed to
warble back, "Thank you for the enter
tainment. When summer suns are warm
and summer skies are blue, I'll call again
to cheer you in the arduous duties of your
thankless task"

The aggressiyeness of France in

1he aggreSslveneSS OF france IN re-
gard to Siam is apparent to every one.
She desires to place that country under
French influence, and resort will be
had to any means to accomplish this
end. The greatest sufferers In these
schemes will be the Siamese them
selves and the commercial interests of
Great Britain. Mr.. Gladstone has
been great reformer, and is entitled
to the lasting gratitude of the people
for what he has done for Great Brit
ain; but his foreign policy has always
been weak and vacillating. One day
with Beacons6eld premier would cause
the mercurial Frenchmen to halt, and
this would do more to insure the peace
of Europe than all the diplomacy now
in progress between London and Paris.

DECREASE IN IMMIGRATION.

During the twelve months ending
June 80, 1898, the number of immi-
grants Landed in the United States
was 1926 as against 6l9,320 for
the preceding year, a decrease of l2l,-
1884. This decrease has occurred
chiefly since last November, up to
which time there had been no notable
falling off in the number of aliens
seeking homes in this country.
From one point of view this de-
crease is desirable, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle, but from another it
does not offer much encouragement to
this country. We do not want the
immigrants, but at the same time we
do not want the immigration to fall off
because there Is no longer anything in
the United States to attract the for
eigner. 1t is like a man who has
made rich strike of gold in mine.
He does not want to be rushed in
upon, but on the other hand he does
not want to be let alone as though his
mine were only barren and un-
promising prospect hole.
1t is quite safe to say that the de-
crease in immigration Is due largely
to the election of Cleveland and to the
success of the Democratic party in
congress. The foreign immigrant who
leaves his home and comes to the
United States, comes for the sake of
making living. If he knows that a
party be In power which has deter
mined deliberately to break down
American industries-as the Demo
cratic party has done in its absolute
reputation in its platform of the
principle of protection-the intending
immigrants will stay where they are.
which is all right we're it not the same
policy which repels immigration. takes
the bread out of the mouths of Ameri-
can workingmen and opens our mar
kets to the unlimited competition of
foreign products.
From this point of view there is
little cause for coagratulation in the
recent decrease of foreign immigra-
ton. We would rather have them
come by hundreds of thousands if they
want to work, and there is work here
for them, than to have them stay
away because this country is becoming
like their own. 1t is the sinking ship
that rats leave, not the one which is
stancb, well found and well pro-
visioned.

Infinite Wisdom.

Astoria Budget: It may sound like q
Munchausen yarn. but it Is an actual fact,
that in the squinteyed little burg of Soda
vile, In Linn county, in block s OF the town
plat there Is soda spring. and that the last
legislature, in its infinite wisdom, provided
that .'inasmuch as there is great and
growing demand on the part OF the public
for the water of said spring." the state
wonld spend $500 to improve it. This, at
last, is the fond realization of the long felt
want which has been loafng around the
country like the ghost of boyhood's happy
days IN quest of watermelon patch where
haply fingered no vicious dog. 1t is grand
and imposing sight to see the legislative
fancy rising from the sordid contemplation
of cold and unresponsive hog law and
lowering on halcyon wings over the soft
murmur of an Idyllic state soda fountain.

Very Significant.

The following from the columns ST the
Democratic New York Sun Is very sig
nlficant at this time: 'The Cleveland ad-
pinlstrstion has taken billion dollars
from the pockets of the people in four
months. 1t has diminished the wealth of
the nation by an amount nearly equal to
the entire sum of money in circulation in
the United States to-day. 1t has cost the
ptople of the United States three times
as much as the colossal swindle of the
Panama canal, which shook France from
center to circumference, cost the French
people. 1t has taken enough money from
the people to build the Nicarauga canal
ten times over. These are appalling fig
ures. Bot they show the truth. They
demand the earnest consideration of every
American citizen on this anniversary Of
the nations birth. Bluster and prevari-
este as they may, the mouth-piece of
Democracy cannot obscure this tremend-
GUS fact: In four months Democratic rule
has robbed the American people of

A Strange Case.

A strange case, and one that is exciting
much attention among physicians in Idaho,
is thus reported by the Lewiston Tribune,
'George c. Finn, who lives in the rimrock
north of town, was last Saturday afternoon
stricken perfectly blind. He states that
last >aturday morning between and 9
o'clock he went out to NOW some hay for
his team, and after moving some little time
he felt warm sensation across the middle
of his back and soon he had vomiting
spell. He then returned to the house
about sundown. He went to bed and was
soon asleep. After sleeping two hours he
woke up aud thought he would get up and
light the candle. He found the matches
and struck one, but could not see anything,
so,he returned to the bed and laid there
alone from Saturday night until Monday
evening, when man that used to work for
him made his appearance"
