cripple China on the water and materi-
ally increase Japan's advantage. a
harder blow could hardy have been
dealt China in single battle than the
destruction Of their two cruisers and
the big warship Chin Yuen. The loss
Of life is insignificant compared to it,
although that was se:ere for naval
battle.
The Chen Yuen was battle-ship OF
6.4OO tons displacement, carrying l44
inches compound armor ut the water
line. Her battery included four L.
inch guns, protected by an armor
breastwork, and two smaller krupps.
She was also furnished with eleven
Hotchkiss cannon and tubes for White
head torpedoes. In addition, the Chen
Yuen had two St-inch and 6-inch
krupps in her main battery and Sec
ondary battery of Hotchkiss revolving
cannon. The Chen y uen was built for
China at the Stettin Works. She was
sister ship Of the Ting Y uen and was
tho most powerful warship in the
Chinese navy with the exception OF
Ting Yuen.

Throughout the engagement the
Japanese showed greater skill and
ability in the handling Of their boats,
and consequently had things much
their own way. Their work with the
guns was effective. and they also
showed that they thoroughly under

Chinese did the best they could, but
they were lacking in seamanship and
also in ability to handle their guns ef-

truth of the claim that they have
nothing like the ability and training
of the Japanese seamen and gunners,

The vertical system OF handwrit.

several years ago, says the Sun OF

said the Samuel Ready school was
the pioneer in introducing the YER

begun its use when the institution WAS
opened in September, 1887. The little

That was quiet spot, where they

which. being easily designated, secured
a natural selection. The hour for the
conference approached. Her cheeks

they disappeared into the cave of ice.
He threatened. He put out his hand
to her breast and seized tho papers.
She stepped sharply aside, and he
moved a, quickly. He stood with his
back to the cave. Then with a wild
cry she threw herself upon him. She

embrace. The meaning of it all rushed
upon me. Shc meant to realize the

OF course, if she were so, a divorce

New York, and probably her attempt
to kill him and herself at the Snow
Hole. That would make us both un-
happy. You say that, under the cir.

informality of the union with Mercer,
and safely marry, so far as the law is
concerned? We will follow your ad-
vice. You wish Us joy: Thank YOU

Some say ''Oregon wants immi-
grants, but it wants none who
have not money" All the immi-
grants Oregon got in former times
were people that had no money,
but had a spirit that was better.
Oregon was not made by the money
that was brought into it, but by
the spirit of a people who could
create money and wealth. This
demand for immigrants with money
is the demand Of milksop plu-
tocracy. Let us hear no more of
it. Man is superior to money,
But he must be the genuine man,
not the pinchbeck article.-Orego-
nian.

In June last the total vote of
Oregon was little over $1,000.
The vote of the state of Washing
ton in November last was 1875.
School statistics show about 10000
more persons of school age in Ore
gon than Washington this year.
Unquestionably Oregon has the
larger population-though the CEN
sus of 1890, feebly taken in Oregon
and very energetically taken in
Washington, gave Washington con-
siderably more than Oregon.

The Sheridan Sun is authority for the
assertion that Hon. I. 7. Geer is an
avowed candidate for the superintend-
ency of the State Reform School? Now,
what in the world is there that I. T.
Geer is not candidate for? First, he
wanted to be governor, after that he was
willing to take the United States sena-
torship, then gave out that he would
not decline to be superintendent of the
penitentiary, and now would not refuse
to be superintendent OF the school. Mr..
Geer is good. staunch republican, but
his political career will be cut short If he
does not quit trying tocompete for every
Office in the land. Supt. Hendricks Of
the reform school is giving satisfaction
and has done great deal to place the
reform school in position for good
work, and the Post does not believe in
his removal, at this time, for partisan
purposes. If he does not do his work
properly, then it is time to remove him,
and not until then.-Salem Post.

The Oregon Pacific railroad was
sold under a foreclosure brought
by the Farmers Loan & Trust
Company of New York, Saturday
last at Corvallis. There was but
one bidder, and the road, lat miles
in length, was knocked down to
Bonner & Hammond, of Missoula,
Mont, for 100000. Court convenes
on the Sd of January, when the
question of confirmation will be de-
cided. About $11 100000 was spent
in the construction of the road.
The purchase of this road by the
Montana syndicate will mean an
other trans-continental railroad
within a couple of years, and it
will also forever still the Prineville
Reviews arguments that a railroad
will prove curse instead of a
blessing to Crook county.

Ex-senator Edmunds strongly
objects, in a current magazine, to
the proposition of electing senators
by popular vote. But he would
hardly venture to draw on the
present situation in Delaware to
illustrate his argument. The leg
islature there is composed of 80
members, and in the hands of only
16 men repose the power to elect a
United States senator for six years,
Fishing for their favor is one man
who has, probably, made money
enough in the gas business to send
the 16 all home Independently rich
if he should choose to employ his
means in that way. Is that sit
uation in the long run best calcu-
lated to make the senatorial quail
fication one of brains instead of
cash or cash influences? Senators
should be elected by popular vote,
All honest peopleare of this opinion.
