a LESSON FOR OREGON.

There Is a lesson and warning foI
the voters Of oregon IN the condition
of the once great state of Texas, and
the circumstances that brought about
its present deplorablc financial situa.
tlon That state is about to suspend the
cash payment Of its obligations and foI
the very good reason that there is not a
dollar in the vaults Of the treasury.
This In the direct result of unwise legis.
lation. A few years ago Texas claimed
to be the most prosperous state In the
union. At that time the cities of the
state We're growing rapidly, its lands
We're taken up by farmers and stock
raisers as fast as they could be sur
veyed, agriculture doomed, money was
poured into the state by capitalists
from all over the country and its num-
erous activities We're developed at n
rate that made older states enyious. All
new enterprises Were encouraged, and
every inducement was offered for the
settlement OF Individuals and the in.
vestment OF money, In sums from one
dollar up. But all this has been changed
since 1892, The crazy and self-satlsfied
legislature elected that year enacted
laws which, as was foretold by pruden,
business men interested in the welfare
OF the state, have effectually killed on
many Of it's enterprises, have caused l.
general withdrawal Of foreign capital
ana have broken down the credit of the
state to a point where confidence in its
stability has almost ceased. The poll
ticians and Statesmen" OF iSs2-9s
passed numerous reform laws, as they
were pleased TO term them Among
the changes wrought by the unwhole-
some legislation OF that session OF the
legislature were the enactment OF laws
inimlcal to railroad and other corpora,
lions and limiting the rate OF lnteese
to six per cent The state. with its In
dustries not one-Quarter developed,
could not stand up under such laws.
and the demolition OF many Of it's most
important industries was the inevitable
result. Under the changed conditions
people who had money to lend would
not PUT it into the state and immigra.
tion feli on almost Instantly. The de-
velopment Of the artificial industries

and the natural resources Of the state
and the friendly attention Of the past
on the part OF investors ceased; trade
was paralyzed. The condition Of things
which exists today can be ascribed to
nothing else. The moral Is plain. Let
the voters Of Oregon elect to Office, or
even encourage by their tolerance, the
element in this state corresponding ex-
actly to the faction of the Democratic
party that has caused so much ruin 10
the industries and credit Of Texas, and
the prospect now SO favorable for its
growth and development in the near
future will totally vanish, and the last
hope of at least the present generation
of it's citizens will forever be lost and
destroyed.

1t turns out that Senator Aldrich's
only error was in undertaking by 100
the number of amendments that Sena-

posed to engraft upon the bill. He
should have said 400 instead Of 300. It
would seem that an apology is due by
somebody to Senator Allrioh.

A Pauner Veteran.

Henry Smith, who, with his dear
ly beloved silver medal always pin
ned to the breast of his coat, has for
years been conspicuous figure
in this village, having been left
alone in the world by the death of
his wife, and, owing to his crippled
condition, being no longer able to
earn subsistence, will spend the
rest of his days in the Genesee
county poor-house. He is a veteran
of the Crimean war and bears scars
of wounds received at Alma, Bala-
klava, Inkerman and Sevastopol.
He served all through that war in
the famous Grenadier guards.
He was a witness of the historic
charge of the Light brigade. The
medal he wears is one of those pre-
sented to the ungazetted heroes of
the Crimean campaign by the Brit
ish government for gaIlantry in the
four battles named, the medal being
surrounded by four bars, each bar
representing battle, with the re-
spective inscriptions Alma, Balakla-
va, Inkerman and sevastopol upon

that overlooks all a mans good parts
in order to light upon his sores.
SIander, envy and jealously can
start the great blood hound of
suspicion, create loud noise that
will attract attention, and many
may be led to suppose there is game
when there is nothing but thin air.
Never does person portray his

Chloroforminr in Sleen.

1t is becoming fashionable for
burglars to chloroform their victims
in the hope that their work will be
the more easily and effectually done.
AS the plan is to administer the
anaesthetic while the patient sleeps,
it is no wonder that failure attends
the effort. Happily it is one of the
most difficult feats to accomplish,
requiring the greatest care and the
highest degree of skill. By many
good observers it has oeen claimed
to be impossible. The latter may
be looked upon as the rule, espe-
cially with novices. Before primal
insensibility is obtained, the victim
awakens from the irritation of the
inhaled vapor, when force is neces-
sary for the completion of the pur-
pose. In the meantime, the alarm
may be given, and the assailant
may be captured. Fortunately, the
chances are against the latter, as
his victim, facing the horror of
ssaugulation, is instantly and al
most icstinctively reused to des-
perate resistance. Taking all the
chances, however. chlorotorm in
the hands of burglar should be
considered as dangerous to his VIC
tim as a club, an ak, or a bullet,
and its administration should be
punished to that extreme limit of
penalty which is due to the en-
ployment of other murderous
measures.-Med,caI Record.

The great progress in electrical
science has all taken place since
1871. Before that time there SEEM
ed to be little more of it than the
telegraph and a few philosophical
instruments for use in schools.
Now one is amazed at what has
been accomplished. Inventors con-
trived the duplex, the quadruplex.
the sextuplex and automatic in
struments in quick succession; then
with a stride came the telephones;
and arc and incandescent lights,
then the motor, and last of them all
the trolley car. We omit one hun.
dred and one little things in do
mestic economy utilizing electricity,
and say nothing of cooking or heat
ing. The trolley car in itself is
1feyolutionizing suburban existence,
and viii do much to relieve the
crowded condition of our cities.
These cars move SO quickly and
with such frequent intervals, they
are simply revoIutionizing trans
portation for short distances. 1t is
well to say that one great impetus
to this progress in the past year or
so has been the great fall in the
price of Scopper.-Hdrdrare.

M. COREY and His Grounds.

Perhaps the best specimen of wit
that has enlivend Hamilton coun-
ty court in many a day was that
emitted like flash from John
Coffey, the attorney, who had been
guilty of a good many things that
have disturbed the serenity of
bench and bar. Mr.. Coffey was
counsel in a case which had already
been postponed some two or three
times at his request. 1t was before
Judge outcalf. Again Mr.. Coffey
asked for postponement. The court
reminded him that it had already
been postponed several times at
his request.
aHare you good grounds for
wishing another postponement2"
asked the court.
ayes, sir, 1 have" replied Coffey.
"What are they2" asked the
court.
"Coffey grounds, your honor"
"Coffee grounds2" repeated the
judge.
"Yes, sir" said John.
Then the judge got on his dignity
and reminded the lawyer that he
was trifing with the court.
"Your. honor" said Mr.. Cofey,
"there was small addition to my
family last night, and 1 submit,
your honor, that this is good grounds
for asking for a postponement.

suIcldes and the Numner 1s.

E. A. Ingersoll, who has been
doing some work re numbering
honses in this city, informs the
State Journal that he has made
some singular discoveries concern
ing the relation of the number 13 to
the suicides which have recently
occurred in Parkersburg.
He finds that ]. w. Webb COM
mitted suicide at 1913 Market street.
Charley Hall committed suicide
at 313 Fifth street.
A. E. Hill suicided at 113 Twelfth
street and his place of business was
313 Market street.
"Gabe" Irvine suicided at 213
Eighth street.
Mr.. Ingersoll says that as far as
he has been able to ascertain every
suicide in Parkersburg of recent
years has occurred at house with
which the number 13 was connected.
The supersitious will doubtless
consider this very significant fact.

win the Gold supply Be Exhausted.

The two most eminent living
writer's on the most precious met
ais. Suess and Soetbecr, have re-
Gently published a very alarming
statement. 1t is to the effect that
the total amount of gold dug ont of
the earth annually suHices only to
supply the present demand for that
valuable substance for use in the
arts. Not a bit of the new pro-
duct of the mines is available for
coinage. Trinket use and waste in
manufacture exhaust the whole
yield. IF this is correct, then gold
must vanish from circulation be-
fore long, because the output of
the gold mines of the world is di-
minishing rather than increasing,
and there are few fields left to ex-
plore. But Uncle Sans metallur-
gists say that it is not so. The
writer's quoted fail to consider the
fact that the gold employed in the
arts is utalized over and over again.
1t goes through sort of cycle.
Articles of jewelry often disap-
pear, but are seldom lost. When
through accident they pass ont of
the possession of the well, to do,
they go the poor aud sharp, Keyed,
who sell them or pawn them. Some
jewelry is lost by fire and some in
the sea, and these losses are abso-
lutte and hopeless; but jewelry other
wise is certain, practically all of it,
to find its way sooner or later to
the pawnshops or into the hands
of dealers in old gold. Thus it is
melted up eventually and re-appears
again in other shapes. This is what
is termed the "invisible supply" OF
that metal Washington Star.
