THE LExoW CoMMITTEE.

The Lexow committee. which is ex-
amining into the alleged crokedness in
the city government of New York, has
made some startling discoveries, That
is it has set the public to thinking SER
iously about what it knew before, that
is, that the government of the city was
systematically plundered by its officers.
The trouble with the committee is that
it has awakened great deal more sus-
picion than it intended, for there are
many good citizens of this great country
who are beginning to suspect that the
Lexow committee have profted by the
examples of some of those it has exam
ined, and that favors can be purchased
of it. While we are not an optimist
with regard to any politicians honesty,
We do not believe the Lexow committee
has fallen down yet. We do believe
that if it is continued month or SO
longer, that it will be besmirched with
bribery.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The Russian
minister " as profoundly moved by the
announcement of the emperor's death.
When the official announcement is re-
ceived, the legation will be closed until
after the funeral, and the minister and
secretaries will wear mourning for one
year. The news reached the White
House after the president had left on
his shooting trip. No action will be
taken by the government, however, un-
til the president is officially notified by
the Russian ambassador.

PRATTLING BABES.

In these days a poor devil of man
has hard time of it. He can't look at
a woman any more without the fear of a
suit for damages. And then the jurors
have fashion of closing their minds to
reason and opening their eyes to beauty
of the lachrymose Niobe order. Time
was when the youthful swain could
vow eternal constancy to his Phoebe
Jane, but times have changed. The
vigilance is the price of liberty, and
fights exceedingly shy of the female of
the period and her breaches of trust.
Lovers used to quarrel and then have a
delicious turtle dove of a time billing
and cooling in making up. Or if the
lady felt that she had really been shah
billy treated, she had the strength of
character to bundle her wilholm sweet
heart out of her house and mind,
breaches of promise and all, as uncere-
moniouly as she would fire the cat.
, Now the billing is done by the lawyers,
in order that "the jingling of the guinea"
may "cure the hurt that honor feels.'
"A case IN 1OrClanQ IN WHICH u IOTIQ0f
Dalles boy figures as defendant, shows
that our girls are getting an insight into
this breach of promise business at an
age when their respected grandmothers
were playing with their dolls, and were
not yet beyond the age of correction in
the good old-fashioned way by the ma
ternal slipper. The plaintiff in the case
is only sweet sixteen, and yet she sues
for violation of a promise to marry
made eighteen months ago. 1t is really
bewildering to us old-fashioned people,
this rapid stride at which the younger
generation is running neck and neck
with US down the homestreth.
The strange mixture of doll babies
and love affairs. sugar teats and breaches
of promise, spoon victuals and marriage
licenses, puppy love, lawyers, guardians
Gd itenl, and all the horrid parapherna.
liza of the equity courts, are weird and
strange blending to mark the exit of g
weary century.

THE PORTLAND FAIR.

Portland is to have the wind-up of
the worlds far. While it will not be
comparable to the white city of Chicago,
the midwinter exhibition at San Fran
cisco, or even the Tacoma collection,
yet it will be the biggest thing of the
kind ever held in Portland, which has
heretofore contented itself with the
local exposition. 1t will be a more ex-
tensive exhibition, because to our. local
products will be added those of other
countries, and our local freaks will have
to look to their laurels when placed
alongside the foreign specimens.
Mr.. F. B. Hardt has arrived at Port
land and has taken charge of the bust
ness. He says he has ''been interested
in exposition work for more than twenty
years." and that he values his reputa-
tion too much to allow any inferior lot
of money-makers and alleged exhibitors
to make cats-paw of him. Now if the
public can be as well assured that the
Turks and other fakirs will not be made
catspaws by Mr.. Hardt, the affair will
be literally patronized. Us plain coun-
try folks have an abiding interest in
the old-time exposition, and we all de.
sire to see them continued. The new
tangled additions, while looked upon as
something not necessary to the success
of any Oregon exhibit, will at least do
no harm, and therefore are unobjection-
able. By all means let us have the
fair r.

The little French girl stood at my
elbow while 1 wrote. She was leaning
on the window sill, one little hand sup

in the New York Advertiser. Far across

1t wasn't complimentary to the little
French girl, but the little French girl
did not care for dancing and I did.
Suddenly she gave little laugh.
''Why are you giggling?" I asked
rather Grossly.
Because the world amuses me,'' she
murmured.
A very good reason, to be sure. But
when the world amused me never
laughed. Palmetto is more than
in her notions than clever, so I asked:
why does it amuse you?''

''And is it not bette to stay up till

TWO SIDES TO The QUESTION.

In Fitting Spectacle Bows to the Ears
Both Must Be Considered.
Having selected a pair of frames with
a nose piece of the right height and
spread to bring the glasses into the
proper position, and having had them
fitted with glasses made in accordance
with the oculist's prescription, the op-
tician now proceeds to fit the COM
pleted spectacles to your head, says the
New York Sun. You might put them
right on and wear them off just as
they are.
But no, he reaches over and places
the bows over your ears himself. Then
he tries the spectacles gently. as they
rest upon your nose, taking hold at
the outer ends of the frame, where the
bows hinge. Not just right. He takes
them off again and smooths the bows
out between the tips of his fingers and
changes their shape little and tries
them again. Better, but not just right
yet. He takes them again, and
smooths out and bends in little
more. You observe as he hands them
to you, as he does this time, that the
bows have not only been changed
somewhat in shape, but now they vary
in sweep and curve. You put them on
and find that they fit perfectly and very
comfortably. He touches them and
finds them right and says so.
''But the bows are not alike" you
say.
''No," says the optician, ''but they
are now made to fit. Your ears are
not just alike. One of them is little
j bigger than the other, and they are
not placed exactly alike on the head. :"
'sWhat?'' you say, and he says: .'Yes.
There are very few of us that are per-
feet or just alike on both sides.'

THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE PORTRAIT
CARDS.

Now is the time to think about get
ting some of those handsome NATIONAL
TRIBUNE Portrait Cards in time for the
coming National Encampment These
are by far the best things yet offered
the comrades in that line, as they COM
bine with the ordinary GAR. card a
fine, artistic portrait of the owner, which
makes the pleasantest sort of souvenir
to his comrades and friends. We have
now reduced the price of these cards to
suit the times, and will send 100 of
them, with The NATIONAL TRIBUNE
for one year, for $3.50. Without the
paper, the price will be 1926. This is
much cheaper than as good cards can
be gotten anywhere. The ordinary
price for cards without a portrait is So
per 100, and such a picture as we make
for it would cost anywhere $3.50 or S.
Or, we will send 100 of the cards for a
club of ~ yearly subscribers to THE Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE, or 20 for The American
Farmer. Order at once, that you may
have the cards to distribute among your
friends. They will be much better re-
minders than photographs, as they will
contain the names and military history
etc., of the giver; the picture is just as
good as a photograph, and they are in
fnitely cheaper.

THE comrades of the GAR. of Chi
cago have done themselves credit and
greatly aided the authorities by offering
themselves in body as special force
for the preservation of order. The effect
of this was very great. There are many
thousands of the veterans in the city, and
though some of them may not be as spry
as they were when they were tramping
with Sherman or Meade, they are just as
determined believers in law and order as
ever, they are well disciplined, and guns
in their hands mean something serious.
A mob would think twice before at
tempting conclusions with lane of
grizzied old fellows in the GAR. uni
form, and handling guns with which
they seem quite familiar. They would
probably be far from as patient as the
Regulars or the militia, for all their
schooling was in the way of hitting back
at once, and hitting as hard as they
could. They also had a great pro-
pensity for hunting the other fellows to
their holes, and having it out with them
to complete finish. Probably age has
not eradicated this idea.

about this strike to show his power, and
put himself ahead of the chiefs of the
other unions. While members of the
other unions have been temporarily
carried away by the unskilled laborers
whom Debs worked in, it is believed that
they will speedily reassert themselves,

The comrades are now beginning to
think seriously of attending the great Ma

of the Republic, which is to be held in
Pittsburg next September. As usual,
the question of transportation is the first
one to consider, and here THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE comes in with its offer of
assistance, as it has done in previous
National Encampments. 1t will give
every comrade an easy chance of obtain
ing a frst-class ticket over the railroad
from his home to Pittsburg and return,
by obtaining a small club of subscribers
to the paper. This is great opportunity.
All the old veterans want The Ma
TIoNAL TRIBUNE, and are ready to take
it if some one will ask them to subscribe.
Anyone can get a ticket with little
effort. Write to us for further informa-
ton as to the number of subscribers we
will require for ticket.
Some comrades may find it easier or
prefer TO solicit for subscribers to The
American Farmer, as there may be many
more farmers than veterans among their
neighbors. We will make the same offer
for clubs for that paper.
Write US at once for terms and sam
pie copies and begin work at once.
Subscribers can be sent in as they are
obtained, and will be credited on the
ticket offer. If enough are not secured
to entitle the canvasser to ticket they
can be applied on any other premium.
