THE PONY EXPRESS.

We have just finished reading an
article in the Sunday Oregonian, entitled
s'The Pony Express" and written by
John Henry Martin. Outside of some
dates, we doubt if there is true state
ment in it. The roads along the Carson
river never existed except below where
the Nevada state prison stands, and
there the Carson river runs through a
country where the sage brush grows
down to the waters edge, and the
country is as level as the fats about
Umatilla. There never was pony ex-
press rider killed by the Piutes. In
fact that tribe never killed anyone ex-
cept at the famous battle of Pyramid
lake, and then nobody was hurt only
those who. out ran themselves getting
away. It may be possible that someone
has been stuffing Mr.. Martin, but if not,
it is clear case that John Henry is try
ing to stuff the balance of us. We lived
at Carson at the time the pony express
was started, and "Pony Bob'' and other
wild west side shows were not there.
We wish to say, however, that the Ore
gonian is not responsible for the story
that honor being reserved for Mcclure e
maOaZine

which the genii of the ring spread be-
fore Aladdin's gaze. You perused this
favorite story of yours in Arabian
Nights when boy, and your magma
ton pictured brilliantly for you every
thing that the words suggested.
That was when you were a boy. To-
day, possibly, you are unable to do it.
Shall we tell you the reason why? Most
probable because your liver is sluggish,
and as consequence you suffer from
sick headache, dizziness, and constipa-
ton. Do you want to cure all these
troubles permanently, make your liver
active, your imagination lively. and in
general enjoy things as you did when a
boy? All you have to do is to use DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets, purely vegeta--
BILE, perfectly harmless, the smallest and
easiest to take, and they are the cheap
est because they are guaranteed to give
satisfaction, or your money is returned.
What more can YOU ask?

Practical HUMANITARIAN

Miss Adalina Lucinda Brown, the ac-
complished graduate of Buffalo, n. Y,
seminary, who was married to Pitt
river Indian in Modoc county, where
she is teaching an Indian school, was
formerly teacher at Yainax agency, in
klamath county. She is humanita-
rian, and zealously labors for the up
lifting of the Indian, Negro and other
neglected and somewhat despised races.
Yet the nobility of the lady's ideas re-
ceives the studied contempt of the press
of the coast. There may be such a
thing as the lady being right and the
opinion of the papers rotten.-Ashland
Record.
1t is quite certain that Miss Adalina
Lucinda Brown might have been done
more brown than she has been. She
might, for instance, have married a
white man with no higher ideas than
those of the gentleman who penned
the article above quoted. An educated
woman who marries an Indian for the
purpose of uplifting him Is only
lowering herself to his level

PARIS VENDoME COLUMN.
A Few Words of Its History and the Facts
of Its Destruction.

A Few Words of Its History and the Facts
of Its Destruction.
The Vendome Column in Paris, which
was destroyed by the Commune in 1871,
was erected by Napoleon l., principally
of cannon taken at Ulm, to commemo-
rate the victory of Austerlitz in 1905.
1t was covered with four hundred and
twenty-five bronze plaque, nodded in
bas-relief to display the chief incidents
in the Austrian campaign of that year.
They were each three feet and eight
inches high, and formed continuous
band, inclosing the column twenty-five
times as it circled to the top, the entire
length of the spiral being eight hun
dred and forty feet. Instead of Charlie.
magne, as at first intended, it was sur
mounted by statue of the first Ma
poleon in Roman costume and
crowned with laurel. After several
postponements it was brought to the
ground ON the 10th of May in the pres
ence of many thousands who had
waited for hours to witness the spec
tacle.
Owing to some engineering difficult
ties in cutting the base it could not be
brought down at the time originally
fixed. The members of the Commune
and sentinels We're posted about hall
way down the Rue de Ia Paix to pre-
vent the crowd from approaching toe
close, as up to the last moment acci-
dents were feared. At half past five in
the afternoon the ropes were tightened.
and suddenly the column was observed
to lean forward toward Rue de Il:
Paix, then finally to fall with dull,
heavy thud, raising as it did so an i'm
mense cloud of dust. Before it touched
the ground it separated into three
parts by its own weight, and on reach
ing the bed of dirt and fagots to re-
ceive it broke into at least thirty pieces.
The statue of Napoleon, on reaching
the ground, broke off from it's pedestal
at the ankles, then at the knees, the
waist, and the neck, while the iron
ratings which surrounded the summit
of the monument were shivered to
pieces. Shortly after the column had
fallen spectators were permitted to
traverse the place to witness the wreck,
but were not permitted to take away
any of the fragments.

The Pendleton East Oregonian be-
lieves that the repeal of all'laws for the
collection of debts would do more to re-
lieve the workers and producers than
any other one thing proposed or to be
proposed, and that paper further says ::
1'It would simply prevent the manipu-
lative, speculative and parasitical classes
from getting on the backs and bodies of
the masses, to gradually exhaust their
resources and destroy their vitals. 1t
would drive capital into industry in
stead of into bonds and mortgages, to
give employment to labor and encour-
agement to enterprise. 1t twould largely
prevent the watering of stocks and dis
continue the practice of holding up the
workers and producers to exact from
them dividends on these inflated and
corrupt values. Debt is at the bottom
of the sea of social troubles and laws to
encourage and perpetuate it are laws
against the best interests of the people.

The secretary of the treasury, Mr..
Carlisle, is sending printed copies of the
senate bill to the customs officers.
From this it can easily be inferred that
the secretary knows what the ultimate
fate of the bill be. Cleveland has given
no intimation as to what he intends to
do with the bill, but Carlisle would Ger
tainly not be preparing to put the new
law in force unless he knew it was going
to be the law.

FELLOW citizens, survey the politi- cal field impartially. Look at the outcome of all third parties. See what Republicanism, from Fremont down to it's latest Presidential nominee, Ben Harrison, has evolved in the way of prohigaey, corruption, invasion of State and popular rights; the load of debt it has im- posed; its sectional favoritism; it's toadying to special interests, and all the long line of misgovern- ment and maladministration Is it a time to forsake Democracy? Is it not time 10 cultivate harmony, to repress harsh criticism of leaders hitherto confidently trusted and whose instincts and purposes are as patriotic now as they ever were, but whose views or policies may not entirely accord? Don't encourage mutiny. Don't give up the ship. Democracy will ride the waves in any storm that comes.

TIE Philadelphia Iaqatrer doesn't t object to docking Congressman s salaries, but thinks at the same
 time the pay ought to be increased to enable them to defray election expenses and live in style at the Capital.

A triae of nearly s14 day, Sundays and holidays included, is. to the majority of Representatives, in the nature of boon, and when to this is added mileage, stationery, tele- graph franks, banquets from the botanical garden, maps, books and documents, it would seem the lot of the average national Legislator is not an unhappy one.
