THE UNITED STATES rs"


The modern practice OF the state de-
rartmnet at Washington, says the New
York Recorder, has been to give the
United States a verb in the singular In
stead of the plural number, as the
United States is" not "the United States
are"
The practice before the civil war was
to use the plural form, and Mr.. Seward
was, think, the first secretary Of state
70 reverse 1t. Webster and his prede-
cessors always wrote ARE" Mr.. Fish,
Mr. Evarts, Mr.. Blaine and other Re-
publican premiers followed the Seward
sty;e. Mr.. Olney, in his recent procla-
nation, concerning Cuban neutrality.
returns to the o:d form. Referring to
Spain. he wrote: "a power with which
the United States are and desire to re-
main on terms OF peace and arnity."
When Mr.. Seward made the innovation
the idea was. OF course. TO give addi-
tional emphasis to the fact that the
United States, as q political entity. is
a nation and should have singular verb.
Then, for the first time, nation began
10 be written with a capital IN" The
politicians OF the states rights school
rads vigorous protest and so did the
critics, but the author Of the ''n1gher
law" doctrine cared nothing about either
side. He held the pen that wrote the
ofiicial dispatches and proe.amations, and
as there was no way in which his critics
could edit them, the Seward grammatical
construction had to stay.
Mr.. olney has naturally provoked crlti-
cism by the change he has made. The
political part Of 1t is severely condem-
natory. but, as a rule, the grammnrians
agree with him. A Western journal, in
taking his side Of the controversy, says:
zone cannot say the Southern States is
prosperous" or ''the Pacific states pos
sesseS great mineral wealth." and no
more can one say without violating the
rules Of grammar ''the United States is"
The main point OF the contention is
missed in that criticism. In the case OF
TIE New England. Southern or Pacific
states the plural form is the correct one.
because OF themselves they do not pos
sess the attributes OF national entity. One
division Of them claimed II at one time,
bat the pretension had to be abandoned.
However. the United States is" all right,

About 300 eonsularJhips have been made
civil service places by reeen. order of
the president. AL those whose occupants
get fixed salaries OF from 81 900 10 s. 800

are permitted to engage In t-ade. Here
after vacancies win be filed either by
transfer or promotion. by the appoint

wHAr YOUR eRANDMA MAY SAY


0. grandma, is 1t really true
That men did once delight
To look on girls as goddesses
Who dwelt upon a helghtn
o, did they really slave for them
And think 1t was but right?
0, had they then no grievances
They organized to air?
DID they ne-er vow her tyranny
Was more than they could bear,
When woman wore a petticoat,
And never cut her hair?
Q, were men happy subjects once,
or an unconscious queen,
Ere yet the sea of Progress came
pwixt them to intervene
That heavy sea in which, today,
We watch her throne careen?
Was she thing of beauty, once,
Ere yet she did alright
A wondring world by blazing out
In bloomerettes bedight;
Ere freedom in her books was made
Synonymous with Fight?
o. grandma, l was born too late!
A lump comes in my throat
To think that a divinity
On whom all men might dote,
Died an unnatural death the day
That woman got vote.

We undertake to say that there isn't
a genuine catfish in Oregon waters. The
big-headed fish caught in the Columbia
slough and elsewhere are bull-heads, and
while resembling a catfish somewhat,
are altogether different in their habits;
and decidedly inferior in quality. Then,
toe. they seldom grow to weigh more
than~es pound or So while catfish have
been taken that would weigh 90 pounds
or more, and very frequently 10 to 3d.
Newberg Independent.
Catfish do not grow to large size in
clear, cod water. They prefer the muddy,
sluggish streams like the Mississippi or
its tributaries, or even the stagnant
sloughs of the same region. The catfish
in Willamette slough and Deer Island
slough resemble very closely those of the
Mississippi, excepting for size.-Headlight.

real diversified farming exists. The man
agement of the immense farm falls upon
Sam II. Brown, a young man who has
cnly recently passed his minority. Here
they keep ten TO twelve. men constantly
emp.oyed, and many horses, and every
farm product is raised and sold at
profit. During the past summer he has
manufactured many hundreds of pounds
OF cheese. Just now they are baling
straw and shipping 1t TO the paper mills,
II does not pay much but II keeps the
many hands employed and saves the
burning of the straw. They Will ba.e
up several hundred tons of hay for mar
ket. They have also large fields of po-
tatoes. In the garden there are loads
OF Hubbard squashes, pumpkins, beets,
carrots and cabbages, al of which vii.

money by either selling or feeding. In
the orchard p,ums and prunes are num-

ENCOURAGE AN AVERSION TO SIN.

There is no better test Of spiritual growth
than increasing sensitlveness to the repul-
siveness of all kinds of sin, and deepening
consciousness Of the constant peril from 1t in
which every human soul lives. In the great
est saint there are all the possibilities which,
being worked out, make the greatest sinner; {;
andthe truer the saintliness the deeper the
consciousness Of this fact. The materials out
of which heaven and hell are builded
are found in every life, and the man
who slowly builds heaven within him
has constantly the terrible knowledge that
be has only to put his hand forth in another
direction in order to build hell; both are
within reach. But al q man builds heaven,
his vision Of the internal possibilities OF life
grows clearer, and his horror OF wrong
doing becomes more constant and control
ing. The disguises under which evil hides
itself become more apparent, until the
beautiful mask no longer produces even
momentary Illusion; the hideous face is
seen at glance. When one has come to
see sin as it is, and to oathe and hate It,
not for its consequences but for itself, one
has gone a long way toward the final re.
demption from its power which We call sal
vation. But we are never saved until we
have looked sin in the face and know that
it is not only O terrible reality, but that 1t
has touched the best Of US with its de6le-
ment; and that, at some moment In our
lives. the noblest Of US must cry: 20 God
the Son, Redeemer Of the world, have mercy
upon US miserable sinners 1.-THE Outlook.
