A Mistaken Populace.

There is town in Texas so poor and
measly that its own inhabitants stay
there only because they are as poor as
it is, though, perhaps, not quite as
measly, for they are conscious of their
condition. Whatever else they are they
have strong sense of state pride, and
they will hang a man as quick for horse
stealing as will the inhabitants of the
most tiourishing and richest city in the
state. Some time ago a stranger in the
town was arrested on suspicion, and
held until the recent disappearance of
two horses could be Investigated. Be-
fore the investigation was concluded,
the citizens held a meeting and decided
TO have public trial of their prisoner.
He was brought out on the square, and
before they had found tree suitable
for their purpose man in the crowd
recognized the man.
Friends and fellow citizens" he
shouted from barrel he had climbed
on, "you are about to make dreadful
mistake. This gentleman is not horse
thief but friend of mine, and repu-
table citizen of Waco. He came here
during my absence to see a gentleman
who was coming from st. Louis.
What did he want hereP" asked the
spokesman of the citizens committee.
HE came on a matter of business"
Name his business"
"He came here, fellow citizens, to
buy real estate and make the town
boom"
The committee held consultation,
and in few minutes The spokesman
was ready to report.
"Well, colonel" he said, addressing
the man on the barrel, as he united the
prisoners hands and took the rope
from around his neck, "on your state
ment that he did not steal them hosses,
we will let the prisoner go, and besides
speakin' of his business here, we amt
the kind of people that wants to hang a
crazy man, nohow," and the gentleman
from Waco got back to Waco as fast as
he could with busted boom on his
hands.-Detroit Free Press.

In His Wife's Name.

A story was told on the House side
relating to certain Western banker
and politician whose name, for good
reasons, is not to be disclosed. This
man was prominent for some time by
reason of the success with which he
dictated appointments in his vicinity
under the present administration. Re-
verses overlook him and he disappeared
as political factor. One day, short
time ago, he met an old friend of the
Presbyterian faith on the street.
Hello, Brother Buster; how do you
fareP" said the good man.
II am crushed by my reverses," said
the ex-politician in querulous voice.
Everything is gone. All I have left,
Brother Billings, is my religion"
Brother Billings met an acquaintance
shortly after, and to him related the con-
versation he had had with the late
banker-politician.
"He says all he has left" related the
good man, "is his religion.
N.His religion!" exclaimed the other in
a tone of irreverence; "even that's in his
WI %'s name. y Washington Post.

Recently trawl net has been tried
for deep sea fishing off the entrance tc

ternoon this month the steamer Angus
Ia cast her trawl in 80 fathoms of water
and made a big haul of crabs and group
ers. She then moved to where the water
was rs fathoms in depth and dragged
the trawl for three hours, and caught
so many soles that 1t was a hard job to
get them on board. Three casts of the
trawl were made in all, and then the
Augusta was headed for Astoria, and
the fish arrived there inside of 18 hours
from the time they were caught, the
crabs being still alive. After getting his

Most Of the Democrats who voted the
Republican ticket were intellig ent men
who could not be deceived by campaign
tricks. Although they are both to adj
NIT it, their vete for the Republican
ticket was an intelligent Condemnation
of Democratic incapacity, Their vote
was tribute to the Republican party
in that it was tacit admission that
Democratic policies were a failure, and
that the Republican party, in their
opinion, is the only party which has the
ability or the patriotism to successfully
administer the government. Nothing
short of such conviction would have
forced them to desert the party with
which they had affiliated during life
time and go over, bag and baggage, to
the Republican camp. From henceforth
there will be no Democratic party in
Oregon, nor the shadow Of 1t, The two
opposing parties will be the Republic IN
and the Populist, and those who h ave
been Democrats can make up their
minds to align themselves with one OF
the other"

THE REAL VICTIMS.

The Populists and other unIalrly us
posed people have defended the income
tax because they thought 1t an excellent
way to retallate on the rich, and the
idea gnerally prevails that 1t will only
affect those 80 fortunate as to have an
income Of $4,000 and over The fact Is
overlooked that this provision of the
Wilson bill, as it now stands, taxes tine
frugality Of every holder of life insur-
ance policy in the land, as well as the
pitiful ralny-day accumulations of the
savings bank depositors in every state
where these useful institutions are to be
found. England and other civilized
countries are just at this time Offering
special encouragement to this class Of
Investments, and 1t remains for our
Democracy-cursed country to furnish
the one single exception to the rule. So
far as life insurance investments are
concerned no comment Is necessary to
show their benefit or the class most in
terested In their conservation. AS to
savings banks, experience has shown in
the sections of the country where these
institutions have attained the most de-
velopment, that they are the best pro-
moters Of thrift among the regular wage
earners and people Of moderate means
ever devised. The late census reports
prove that the average rate of interest
paid on deposits Of that class is nearly g
per cent. II this rate of interest be re-
duced, as 1t must II the income tax be-
comes law, persons who have hereto
fore been depositors In the savings
banks will draw out their money and
attempt to invest II so they can get
fair return. The result of this abandon
ing Of the old well-tried repositories will
be most disastrous Ii will result in the
loss OF their little capital by many peo-
pie and the cultivation Of habits of
economy and steady and persistent saw
ing will be utterly discouraged. Under
President Harrisons administration the
savings banks prospered greatly. De-
posits increased steadily, until the ag-
gregate Of these funds in many banks
passed all previous records, and bank
officials We're able to loan funds at profit
able rates. 1t has remained for the
Democrats to bring about condition of
things which last summer greatly em-
barrassed their business, and now they
arc again threatened by the imposition
OF this inlquitous tax, congressman
who come from sections OF the country
where savings banks are entirely un-
known have proposed law by which
the prosperity OF such institutions in
other states shall be checked. Leading
flnanciers say nothing can be subst-
tuted for this sure and safe means of
investment. Millions of money have
been handled by these banks and re-
turned to the depositors with interest
when called for, Truly the injury in
flicted on the country during the short
term OF administration Of its affairs by
the Democrats will be great and almost
irremediable,

Counsel for Trinity Church Speak of the
Latest Anneke jams Claim.

New York, March 2o.-A report from
Portland states that compromise has
been effected in the famous Anneke
Jans claim against the Trinity Oh urch
by which 800 heirs of Anneke JAMS are
to recover $4,ooO,0OO. This was pro-
nounced absurd today by one of the
counsel for the Trinity Church corpora
ton. Charles L. Jones, the partner of
Stephen P. Nash, who is leading counsel
for the corporation, said: ''The report
that there has been compromise is alb
solutely without foundation. No suits
are now pending brought by any alleged
heirs of Anneke JAMS against the corpor-
alton. The case was finally settled in
ls49. The latest legal move of any kind
made in the courts took place about 10
years ago. An action was then brought
in the Supreme Court, but was dismissed
on our demurrer"

of Bath were sworn in this morning at
10 o'clock. The board of aldermen Or
panized with VIM. T. Donnell as presi-
dent. In the lower board Chas. FL. Ma
son was chosen president. The COM
mon council reelected Cyrus W. Longley
clerk. Mr. Longley has served III that
capacity for nearly quarter of a CEN
,tury. Geo. Ell. Clark was chosen city
clerk for the fifth time. Mr.. Clark is a
Portland boy. He received II votes out
of the 27 cast, the only other candidate
being George NJ. Duley. ex-inspector of
the Bath custom house. The Mayor
made an unintentional pun by announc-
ing that Mr.. Clark had been duly elect
In his inaugural, Mayor Wakefield ex-
pressed himself as decidedly against the
project of buying land for new city
hall, and recommended economy in the
matter of appropriations, especially for
new streets where land damages have to
be paid. He recommended a confer
ence with the Maine Central regarding a
sewer from High street bridge to the
river, as the railroad runs through the
natural route of the drainage of the city.
Two appointments were made on the po-
lice. Orrin A. Kitredge was appointed
captain of the night watch, and VIM. E.
Hartman, removed, exactly reversing
the action of the last city government,
and ex-City Marshal Crocker was ap-
pointed on the force, vice E. c. Poole re-
moved. A number of other changes
are talked of at the April meeting of the
council
