The Born Angler.

He was by nature and heredity one
of those predestined anglers whom
Izaak Walton tersely described as
"born So" His earliest passion was
fishing. His favorite passage in Holy
Writ was that place where Simon
Peter throws line into the sea and
pulls out a great fish at the first cast.
But hitherto his passion had been in
dulged under dificulties-with impro-
vised apparatus of cut poles, and fab
by pieces of string, and bent pins,
which always failed to hold the biggest
fish; or perhaps, with borrowed tackle,
dangling fat worm in vain before the
noses of the staring, supercilious sun
fish that poised themselves in the clear
water around a certain hotel dock at
Lake George; or, at best, on picnic
parties across the lake, marred by the
humiliating presence of nurses. and
disturbed by the obstinate refusal of
old Horace, the beatman, 20 believe
that the boy could bait his own hook,
but sometimes crowned with the de-
light of bringing home whole basket
full of yellow perch and goggle-eveS.
OF nobler sport with game fish, like
the vaulting salmon and the merry,
pugnacious trout, as yet the boy had
Only dreamed. But he had heard that
there were such fish in the streams
that flowed down from the mountains
around Lake George, and he was at
the happy age when he could believe
anything-if it was sufficiently inter
esting. van Dyke, in Century

THE STAMFORD DECISION.


Very little surprise Ia expressed at

stockholders OF the Central Pacific are
not responsible, and that the claim OF
over sl5,0OO,OOO against the Stanford

Gilbert has a chance he shows his bias
on the side of the corporations aud
against the people. He was n law clerk
or junior attorney In the firm OF Snow

appointed federal judge TO succeed
Judge Deadly. The Portland gang Of

But the railroad companies did not

decency, or possibly little sympathy
for the people who pay the freight.

DOlph-5imon-Scott outfit and young
Gilbert was appointed. Judge Lord

A CATHEDRAL FOR SALEM.

The success Of a Salem denomina-
tion in erecting sl0.5O0 church, and
paying for Il these hard times goes
far to stamp Salem as not only a
church town. but as prosperous town
and business town. There is not
another town In Oregon could have
done that so easily. -
The success Of the Baptists in build
ing and paying for . beautiful chapel
these bard times, has set other denOm-
nations TO thinking, The great value
Of modern style church with all
comforts and conveniencss cannot be
denied from a business or social stand
point. Many congregation is llnger-
ing along In an enfeebled or even a
dying condition, not because II has not
a. good pastor or faithful members, but
because 1t IL poorly housed. 1t does
not command the public eye anu It's
pulpit does not get the public ear be-
cause of Its obscurIty or comfortless
interior. An artistic exterior and
interior are factors Of modern church
work not to be overlooked.
Some such thoughts as these are
agitating several Salem churches. We
have q multitude OF excellent small
congregations. The little chapels are
Gods footstools But the really grow
ing and strong ones are those In large,
commodious structures. The next
church to take advantage Of this con-
dliion of things, this opportunity for
growth, will pcore great success.
Why should not the EplscopalIans
OF Salem make forward movement {?

The question what TO do with silver
continues uppermost ia the minds Of
politicians sod statesmen. Bob Inger-
soil 10 a recent interview declares the
demonetIzatinn Of silver in 1873 crime.
As he Is q great criminal lawyer he is
supposed to know what a crime is.
Secretary Carlisle, at Boston, Saturday,
declared again, not only that silver
muet be eliminated from our finance
but that the greenbacks must be re-
tired.
Senator Allison in opening the Iowa
campaign said the Democratic and Re.
publican platforms Ia that state were
identical on the silver question-they
refer 1t to international agreement.
He says: ave haye no quarrel with
our Democratic brethren on this sub
ject Senator Chandler, Of New
Hampshire,in letter to q. G. Clay too,
secretary tf the Republican state league
Of Colorado, declares that Republican
vote is vote against gold mono metal
ism and says: "1he Republican party
will go into the next presidential battle

as sure as right is right, will win." He
shows that the Democratic party is
oyer-ridden by its present gold-bng
management, and concludes that 1--WE

netalists of the world 100 to /, and
need not fear that we shall eventually
succeed" He then urges an American
conference Of the bimetallic nations Of
the western hemisphere, which he be-
lleyes will decide for the unlimited
coinage OF silver at ratio of l5i to l,
Senator Chandler's view Of the matter,
as New England man, has little
consolation for those Republicans who
are not quite ready to see their party

flutes the idea held out that only DEM
