Live Long and Live Sober.

Figures are always coming up to
worry people who have no head for
them. They cannot lie, and there they
are. Statistics ON the reasonable cX-
pectancy of Life indicate that if Il man Is
a drunkard at 20 he will live fifteen
years longer; if sober, he has forty
four years more to live. At 30 the pro-
portions of years of life remaining
under the same conditions are fourteen
and thirty.six. II a man is Il drunkard
at his fortieth year, he cannot reason
able hope to live 10 be older than 81.
But if he is temperate at that age the
expectancy of life extends to 60. Thi"
is an interesting temperance lecture
which can always be used with effect. If
there is AN old drnnkard who will not
swear of in The face of these figures.
at The beginning of this new year, let
him go and jimjam himself to ruin. tie

Pianos.

Excellent pianos may be bought in
Europe at perhaps two thirds the cost OF
q like instrument here, and even indi-
viduals can import pianos to advantage
in spite of the tariff. But fact that
works pretty effectually to protect the
home manufacturer is that either the
American climate or the usual steam
heat tends to destroy the imported piano,
so that even the temptation of saving
from 5000 to $500 on the first cost does
not induce many persons to take the
risk of an instrument that cannos stand
the climate. --Philadelphia Ledger.

find that there is dispute going on
among the lawyers, began by Senator Dolph
and carried on by other legal lights Of various
sizes.
Now | am not a lawysr, but before we left
Missouri my father was justice Of the peace oI
Pike county far more than twenty years and !
know capias from habeas corpus when |
see them therefore will have my say with
the rest Of the boys who are tellinc what they
know, or think they know,
1t seems to me that Mr.. Dolph is away off
his base and has overlo ked the main part Of
the controversy, the very "gist" of it in fact
and that the court decided the case according
to law and "Mfzzourah Justice" which as every
one in this section knows is the best kind OF
justice.
Just look at it for minute and you will see
for yourself, Here was $4,000 of gold, good,
cold hard money, foreign money at that, be-
longing to some Eastern dude away back in
Ohio or Kentuckey, or somewhere in that re-
gion. Does Mr. Dolph want to argue that it
would be right to let that money get
away from Greg on2 What kind of court
would it be that would allow that in times
like these2
can tell you that they would not get any
more notes on Long Tom. No, sir, never in
a thousand years. The proper thing was done
and the correct principle is to keep all the
money here and get more if we can.
But Mr.. Dolph says that this kind Of bust
ness will discourage people and that they
wont come here. What of it? We have high
state authority for saying that there are too
many people here now.
No, Mr. Editor, it wont do. Mr.. Dolph was
a good senator but he has neglected to keep
up with the progress of the legal profession in
the state and if he springs any more sugges-
tions Of this kind on us he ought to be SEN
fenced to years solid reading of the Oregon

terants in order to prevent our manufacturer
from being driven out Of their home market
by the shoddy goods admitted under the ad
valorem rates Of the new tariff law.
This is IA fair statement of the way free
trade affects the industries Of wool raising
and the manufacture Of woolenS. Not
particle Of gain has come to the American
people through the placing Of wool on the
free list. On the contrary, one great industry
has received death blow. and the only one
to gain has been the manufacturer of shoddy
goods. We are buying abroad an article
which we should produce at home, depriving
the sheepraisers of $40, ,ooo, 900 yearly and
tnrning it over to the foreign wool interests
1t is a costly sacrifice.

QUEER FREIGHT FOR CHINA.


The Chicago 'Record" says: A curious
freight which is shipped exclusively from San
Francisco TO China is "6sh bone" which pays
$40 ton. 1t is sent in large boxes consigned
to the lung Hospital at Hong Kong, but the
contents of the boxes are really the bodies of
dead Chinaman sent home for burial. Most
of the Chinaman who come to the United States
are under the care of the Six Companies, who
sign contract guaranteeing to return the
bones OF the dead for burial with their ances-
tors in the celestial empire, and the Tung
Wah Hospital acts as the agent on this side in
carrying out the agreement. They are
shipped as ''6sh bones" in order to evade the
rule OF the steamship companies, who charge
full hrst-class passengers rates for the
dead.
Nearly every ship leaving San Francisco for
China carries among the steerage passengers
number Of invalids who hope to live until they
reach their native country, but several usually
die on every voyage. There is an agreement
between the steamships and the Six Companies
which forbids the burial of these bodies at sea,
and the latter furnishes collins of the peculiar
Chinese pattern for use in such emergencies.
They are made Of slabs, the first cut Of the
log, so that the sides and top are rounded
A dozen or more are carried on each ship, and
the surgeon is furnished with a supply Of EN-.
balming fluid.
When aChinaman dies at sea the surgeon en-.
balms the body which is then placed in a coffin,
sealed up and lowered into the hold. The en-.
pense is paid by voluntary contributions from
the other Chinese passengers, the crowd, and
the stewards Of the ship, all Of whom belong
to that race. No subscription paper ia posed
around, but pan containing Chinese sugar is
placed beside the coffin and every Chinaman
on board drops in his contribution, from dime
to dollar, and takes piece Of sugar from
the pan, which is supposed to bring him good
luck and prolong his life. When the ship
reaches Hong Kong the collins and the belong.
ings Of the dead are delivered TO the 1'ung
Wsh Hospital. which disposes Of them to
the surviving friends in China. Every China
man in the United States is supposed to be
registered at toe Tung wsh Hospital and
with the siE Companies al San Francisco.

EFFECT OF FREE WOOL.

Some interesting figures in regard to wool
are given by the Washington correspondent of
the Philadelphia Press. Democratic papers
have pointed with pride to increased i'm
they have failed to note the decline in the
home woolgrowing industry. The low price
Of wool is forcing the sheepraisers out of the
business. With the home supply cut off, prices
will advance again, but the foreigner will
reap the harvest, Foreign wool is low priced
only when it comes in competition with the
home article. Every time we have had to
have the foreign product we have been forced
to pay well for it, and that will be the ex-
perience as soon as the democratic free-trade
programme has had time to kill off, the
American sheep. The correspondent gives
a table showing the home wool clip and the
consumption during each of the last FIVE years
The hgures show that with steadily increas-
ing consumption there has been decline in
the clip since the democratic tariff went into
force. The table follows:
Clip of 1890. 3oo, 900 pounds used up
in the fiscal year ended June 80, 1891.
Clip Of 1885, 3o7 100000 pounds used up
in fiscal year ended June 80, 1899.
Clip Of 1892 $50, 900, 900 pounds used up in
the hscaI wear ended June 80, 1893.
Clip of 1898, 364, 900 pounds used up in
the fiscal year ended June 80. 1894.
