FRIDAY, MAY IL, 1894.

1t is said that the general
debate" on the tariff bill is over,
but the tariff debate now going on
is as tiresome as the debate that
preceded it.
Secretary Carlisle says there
are five hundred mistakes in the
Wilson bill. Republicans knew
long ago that the entire bill was a
mistake.
This is a free country and
every man has the right and
privilege TO run for office if he so
desires. The idea that few
men should say who shall make
the race for Office is preposterous.
-CongreSSman are kicking
because of the enforcement of the
law docking their pay for absence
without leave. The law is all
right, and if congressman wants
to draw his pay he should stay in
Washington and attend TO buSi-
ness.
THE political tixers' have
been at work fixing the county
ticket, for several weeks, and Just
as they got everything fixed some
new men concluded to announce.
This disconnected them for awhile.
but they are now at work trying to
get the new men off the track.
-CoXey, Jones and Browne
whose trial for trespaSs was con-
cluded in Washington Wednesday,
were, each, found guilty. They
have filed motion for a new trial.
The penalty for each offense is
fine of not over 800 and imprison-
ment in Jail for not more than
sixty days.

The oil, sugar. ~hiskey and
other trusts have been taken care
of, through democratic threats to
defeat tho tariff bill, 80 who can
blame the Louisiana people for
taking advantage of the powe +
given them by chain OF extraor-
dinary circumstances to demand
what they want. Ever since the
Senate began its tariff tinkering,
it has boen grab game. Why
shouldn't Louisiana grab her
share? 1t ia to head off the ac-
tion of the Louisiana Senators
that the proposition las been
made in tbs Honse to put an
amendment on the Legislative and
executive appropriation bill, re-
pealing the sugar bounty, buG it's
efficiency would be more than
doubtful, although there is little
doubt about its being put through
the House easy enough. But, if
the Louisiana Senators can de-
feat the tariff bill, unless their
demands are met, they can also
defeat the repeal of the sugsr
bounty. 1t looks to man up
tree as though theye can be abso-
lutte masters of the situation If
they have he nerve and will to
be such.

Boy Drowned Near North Yamhill.

A distressing accident occurred near
North Yamhill last Thursday after
noon. A little son of Cyrus Roberts,
aged A years, went with his father to
the field to plow, After being amused
for awhile ny following around the
land with his father, the little fellow
stopped toplay near creek that ran
near by. On making the round Mr..
Roberts missed the boy and immedi-
ately instituted search, finding him
cold and dead at the bottom of the
stream. The water was only about 20
inches deep.

CARNIVAL OF NATIONS.

The Carnival of Nations given by
the ladies of the NJ. Il. church, was q
grand success, financially, socially and
otherwise. The various nations were
presented in national cstume, and
lorned n picturesque and striking en-.
semple. The programme was OF var
led characters and the appreciation OF
the audience was lnaniies: by repeated
applause and frequent enrores. The
representative of each nation gave an
historical sketch, or saluted the audi
ence with his banner. The salute to
the American flag was well rendered
ond formed a striking feature of the
exercises, The grand march was an
intricate and constantly changing
kaleidoscope picture. The brilliant
costumes intermingling in bewldering
confusion, yet all the evolutions were
executed with soldierly precision.
Court Chamberlain G. B. Montague
presented the different nations to the
audience in his usual happy manner.
1t is but justice to say that all did well,
Geo. Randle and Blanche Warner, in
the role of Chinese, and ]. Slater and
Eallie Warner as sable hued attendants
from the banks of the B0riboola Glia,
are deserving of especial mention. The
autograph quilt was sold to A. A. Kees
for Sl9. Needless to say that G. b.
Montague won golden opinions as to
his ability as an auctioneer, and his
power to draw bids from unexpected
source. We are under the impression
that he has kissed the blarney stone
during some of his travels. The sue
cess achieved was a happy surprise to
all and illustrates the old adage, "where
there's will, there's way" even to
raise money during these hard times.
The ladies are to be congratulated on
the merit of their entertainment, and
the repetition of the carnival on Satur-
day evening was well deserved COM
pliment.
CARD OF THANKS.
The ladies of the Methodist church
desire to express their heartfelt thanks
to Mr.. c. B. Montague for his generous
conduct in granting them the use of
his building, and for bis invaluable
aid in drilling aud conducting the
grand march, also for the personal
interest taken to make the occasion a
grand success. No more courteous
treatment could be desired at his hand
than was received by them, and words
fail to express our appreciation Of his
interest and generosity. To the
orchestra for the excellent music rem
dered. To Miss Hattie Warner, of
Albany, and to all those, who by their
presence and assistance, contributed to
the success of the entertainment we
return our sincere thanks, realizing
that this is but feeble way of express.
ing our appreciation of their assistance
yet appreciating the fact that
kind hearts are more than coronets.
