out. A few prohibitionists and,populists
went out, but I did not hear of any
business being done or speeches being
made. A meeting was called for next
Saturday night.

A Girl Buried Alive.

Sioux CITY, Ia, April ia few days
ago the 15-year-old daughter of j. Luck
ish, of Cresco, had tooth pulled while
under the influence of an anesthetic.
The next morning she was found dead in
bed. The following day she was buried.
Two or three days later some of the
friends of the family, who feared that
she had been buried too soon, secured
permission of the parents to have the
grave opened, and then it was found
that the girl had been buried alive. The
glass OF the coffin was broken to frag-
ments. The body was fearfully con-
torted, the hands cut and bloodstained,
and the hair torn out. The girl had
turned over, and the body lay face down

Weather: The temperature was
colder than the average and the rainfall
deficient during the past week. The
sunshine was about the average. Crops
in the Columbia river valley counties
are making rapid improvement since the
ground has sufficient moisture and sun
shine and warmer weather is mostly de-
sired. The ground is in fairly good con-
dition for the plow. Farmers are busy
seeding. The acreage of wheat in Wasco

age of wheat, and the cultivation of fruit
is receiving more attention. A few per-
sons are introducing the hop industry
with the desire to diversity crops
Favorable weather conditions have ad-
vanced all grass crops and bloom.
Strawberry vines are also in full bloom.
Winter wheat is looking unusually well
and there is sufficient grass for stock.
Crops in the interior and eastern
counties: All hardy plants and grasses
are thriving under the favorable weather
conditions. The season of frost has not
yet passed in this section, so that bloom
is backward, only showing in favored
spots. There are snowbanks in some
valleys and the mountains are covered
with snow, which cools the temperature
so that the growth is slow. Very little
seeding has been done. Cattle and
sheep have been turned on the range
and are doing well. There is plenty of
water for irrigation purposes.

battles have been averted only by con-

An armed mob of 400 strikers swooped

were brutally beaten. The strikers are
all armed, and serious conflict is un-
avoidable.

A TAOTFuL EMPRESS.

The Pretty Act of the Sweet-Natured
Empress of Japan.
The empress of Japan, being that
sweetest of all creatures, a womanly
woman, has upon many occasions open
ly evinced her deep interest in the wee
ones of Japan, giving freely to all in
stitutions that exist to benefit them in
any way. even practicing all sorts of
touching little economies that she may
be able to swell her contributions to
certain charities that most interest
her.
The conduct of this ideal woman up
on a certain sad occasion her devoted
subjects are never weary of describing
Prince Iwaukura, fearless japanese
leader in the momentous days of the
crisis-from which the lovely archi-
pelago is still trembling in its sub
sidence to what seems assured stabili-
ty-lay dying in his yashilzi. The
empress announced her, intention of
paying Iwaukura a visit in. person
The poor prince, weak, and, as L have
said, about to die, was thrown into a
dangerous state of excitement upon re
ceiving the news, but he managed to
borrow from some hidden nervous force
sufficient strength to grasp his writing
box and brushes and to paint her an ur-
gent but most respectful request not to
think of coming to him.
He forced upon her as excuse for de-
clining SO great an honor the fact of
his rapidly-approaching death, and his
consequent inability to acknowledge
her visit with even a sixteenth part of
the homage it demanded. He begged
her to kindly consider how i'll he must
be when it remained an impossibility
to throw off the malady even for her
entertainment. In reply, winged with
speed, came dear little missive whose
import was as follows:
Il come not as your empress, but as
the daughter of your fond well wisher
and coadjutor, and as your own anx-
ious friend"
Shorn of all ostentation and display
the empress arrived and remained be-,
side her grateful subject until his final
summons.
Some years ago, when the imperial
palace was burned, the unselfish en-
press, amid all the excitement and dis
comfort she was for the nonce called
upon to endure in a hasty fight to a
comfortless old yashika, thinking first
of her subjects natural concern for her
comfort, sat down and wrote them
dainty little rhyme. which proclaimed
as erroneous the report that she had
changed her residence It coyly as
serted that her home had always been
in the hearts of her people, and that
she sincerely hoped that neither by
flame nor cold could she be driven from
the dear abode.-N. Y Journal

Opposing Brecklnridge's Re-Election

LEXINGTON, KY, April 11:-Colonel
Breckinridge's chances for being re-
elected to congress from the Ashland
district are becoming very slim. Cards
are being written by the women of the
district asking the people to oppose his
making the race. and many men are
working hard against what they say
will blacken the reputation of the blue
grass country forever. Prof. ]. B. Bones,
of the Hamilton female school, is out in
a two column-card in which he speaks
plainly of Breckinridge. Captain J. c..
Bryant, of Ashland, KY, was in this
city yesterday and said he did not be-

The danger which the people of Bath
fear and are trying to avert is no i'm
aginary one. There is not only pos
Hbility that the free ship hill will pass
Congress. but strong probability. In
deed its opponents admit that it will go
through the House. In the Senate the
chances are not quite so good, but every
thing that executive pressure can do
to get thesbill through that body Will
be done, for the President has set his
heart on getting this measure enacted in
to law, and experience has shown that
when he is deeply interested in piece Of
legislation he leaves no stone unturned
to accomplish it. The effect of the pro-
posed law on Bath the. shipbuilders of
that city can foresee better than anybody
else, and they declare with one voice,
without distinction of party that it will
be exceedingly disastrous.

Secretary Carlisle is said to be SO
anxious to get his currency scheme
through the House that he is urging the
banking committe to report it with very
scant consideration. AS Carlisle him
self does not expect the Sc nate to pass 1t
is it difficult to see why he should be SO
anxious to push it through the House.
Certainly if there is any piece of leg1sla-
tion which shouldbe carefully. considered
it is one that affects the currency. A
bad banking system would be about the
worst calamity that could happen to
business. 1t would be vastly more
harmful than bad tariff because to the
latter business can to certain extent
accommodate itself. Want of confidence
in the medium of Exchange is the most
destructive kind of distrust imaginable.
Currency legislation, too, is of kind
which average congressman are less
equipped for than almost any other.
The great majority of them neither by
education nor experience are qualified
to deal intelligently with the subject.
II ence it is "a matter, above most Others,
that Congress should seek advice upon
by calling in experts. But after bill
is before the House experts cannot be
called in. The time, and the only time
to do that is while the bill is in COM
nittee. Hence the bill fought to be kept
there until all the light possible has
been obtained, and when it issues from
the committee it ought to reflect the
views of the best fnanciers and the best
authorities in the country. The currency
ought not to be made the football of
politics. No party and no man ought to
approach the question with any idea of
catering to any element for votes. The
single purpose should be to get the
soundest and most scientific plan possi-
BILE. The House ought to proceed slowly
and deliberately and above all things
it should refrain from hurrying the bill
at the request of NJ. Carlisle or anybody
else, out of committee, where it can be
considered and constructed more 'intelli-
gently than anywhere else. Mr.. Carlisle
has shown himself a very unsafe guide
in financial matters, and there is reason
to believe that had he not been checked
by the President he would Oh several
occasions have committed the treasury
to some very doubtful expedients.

The meeting of the Republican con-
gressional committee revealed general
hostility among the Western mem bers to
an extreme high tariff, though there
was no opposition TO the policy of pro-
lection. There is nothing surprising in
this for there have been plenty of signs
that such feeling existed in the West
and Northwest. Of course tbs sentiment
will make itself felt whenever the Re-
publicans are in position to legislate
effectively upon the tariff. 1t will cause,
however, wa believe, no EN- barrassment
because we think it is a fact that this
sentiment is not confined. to the West,
but is general: A protection that shall

The convention of the Federation of
Labor at Denver adopted resolutions in
favor of the free coinage of silver. Yet
we imagine that there were very few men
in that convention who had ever given
much thought to the matter, or who
could give any good reason why the free
coinage of silver would be beneficial to
the laboring man. Probably the thing
that had more to do with the adoption
of the resolution than anything else was
the general opposi ton of capitalists and
banking men to free coinage.
