twin calves. On the same night
a cow belonging to Chas. Day, a

gave birth to twin calves. All
four of the calves were heifers, too.

mothers have done, it will only be
a few years until the country is

The Wages Of Sin.

Harry A. Smith, the ex-sheritt OF
Clatsop county, who skipped from
Portland some months ago, writes
from Antwerp to Curtis J. Trench
ard, of Astoria, in a manner that
indicates that evil-doing brings its
own punishment, even if virtue
does not bring its own reward, as
some people claim. Smith writes
in part, as follows:
mo wonder my hair has turned
suow white. The truth of it all is,
when I went to Portland to sell
those warrants had or never had
or never had a thought, why nev-
er dreamed of such all act as leav-
ing. 1 received the money, So, ,ooof
from Bernard, on Friday, at 10
o'clock, and on Saturday afternoon,
the day following, I was confronted
with condition that I must either
face the public or choose the latter
course, and of course, with my
whiskey-soaked brain, 1 did what l
have done. left on the Northern
Pacific to the East, and there en-
barked on a steamer and landed In
Antwerp on the 5th day of May
with $2I6, 60 and one extra coat be-
side the one on my back, and I had
left Portland with $34o. On my
arrival in New York tried to gath
er courage to return and face the
music, for the whiskey had left me
sufficiently to know what I was
about; but no, miserable wretch
that was, I had not the courage.
The particulars of how it was that
I left Portland with only that
amount of money, I shall not ex-
plain, for God knows, the affair is
already disgraceful enough. 1t is
an expensive lesson to get over the
habit Of drinking whiskey and seek
ing company for the balance of my
miserable existence. have not the
heart to write to my dear, beloved
wife and daughter, if I may call
them such yet, for God knows that
they have been kind and loving to
me, for no truer woman exists"

DR.. Paine, the new superinten'
dent of the state insane asylum has
laid down the proposition that in
the future the asylum is not to be
made a home for inebriates or aged
paupers. If he will strictly adhere
10 this ruleSe will be the means oi
saving the state a large sum Of
money annually. 1t is shameful
fact that large percentage of the
inmates Of the asylum are not in
sane at all, but are victims of
whiskey or opium, or what is more
shameful, are aged persons on
whom the natural childishness of
years has fallen, and who have
been deserted by those who should
have been stay and prop in their
old age. The practice has grown
up among the counties of turning
all these elements over to the
asylum for the state to bear the
burden insteai of bearing it them
selves. The practice should be
stopped. Each county should be
compelled to support its own
whiskey and morphine iends, and
its aged and helpless paupers.

w. B. Farwell, San Francisco
hop buyer, who has visited all the
hop growing districts in this state
says that the hop crop throughout
Oregon has never been so great or
of so good grade as this year, but
fears that many of the growers will
not greatly profit by it. In the
first place, said he, the hop-raiser
is in a speculative frame of mind,
and wants "top-notch" prices. In
the second place, it will be a diff
cult, if not all altogether impossible
matter, to harvest the crop, be-
cause of the scarcity OF help. In
Marion county alone, as I under
stand it," remarked Mr.. Farwell,
"they need 5000 hands to pick
hops, and how 10 get them no one
knows. 1--we heard a good deal
about unemployed men and women
in Oregon, but I judge their num-
Der must have been greatly exag-
gerated, from their dilatory manner
in accepting the work offered them
by hop-growers. IF the needed
help is not soon Forthcoming, much
of the hops will go to waste" 3"

NOT VERY SOUND LAWYERS.

The income tax decision, bad as it is,
further than the law which it declares
to be unconstitutional 1t was tele-
graphed soon after the decision was
rendered that some eminent lawyers
gave it as their opinion that it killed
the entire internal revenue system of
taxation.
There are always people who ''add
to what is written" and exaggerate
what is decreed. The ruling of the
court was on the meaning of the term
direct taxes" But a sharp distinc-
ton is drawn in the Constitution be-
tween direct taxes and excise taxes.
So that if the decision of the court,
made adverse to the income tax as a
direct tax by a bare majority of one
vote and that cast the other way but
a few weeks ago, should on a future
occasion and in another case be adj
hered to by the court, it would not
follow that either internal revenue
taxes or similar excuses would come
under the effects of the ruling.
Lawyers who have jumped to the
conclusion that 1.-The whole system of
Federal taxation" is virtually abolished
by the decision of the Supreme court
in the income tax case. did not look
very closely before they leaped. Ex-
cises are not direct taxes and the in
ternal revenue tax is an excise tax.

WHAT MAINTAINS GOLD VALUE.

What is it that gives gold its perma-
nent status and uniform price in the
markets of the world? This is viewed
by monometallists as evidence of lin
trinsic' qualities and value in that
metal, which are superior to any
other and make it naturally the
standard of values in the commerce
of the world.
Is not the true answer to the ques-
ton, the fact that gold can be taken
to the mints and freely coined, with
out'charge. to an unlimited extent?
Take away this right or privilege
from gold and give it to silver, would
not the result as to the two metals be
reversed in the market? Would not
silver advance and attain a steady
price and gold recede and fiuctuate.
rising and falling according to the
greater or less demand for it as bull
lion?
That legislation has a great deal if
not all to do with the market condi-
tions of the two metals seems to be SO
evident that argument is needless to
establish the statement. History
shows it to be true. 1t was the ad-
verse legislation of 1873 which caused
the decline in the market price of sill
yer. and it is the f1uctuation in the
legislation Of succeeding years which
has affected it's market value since
Restore silver to its former right of
coinage. and is it not as near certain
as anything in this world can be, that
it will resume its former metal price
and be held steadily to it as the natu-
raj result? There is nothing in one
metal more than the other which gives
it stable and uniform value apart from
the legislation that stamps it as
money.
The advocates of silver do not ask
for the debasement of gold. They
merely want the restoration of silver.

MEMORIAL DAY.

Whether Decoration Day shall
frown or smile, whether glorious sun
shine or falling rain shall greet tie
bearers of sweet flowers in their me-
mortal of the honored dead, the labor
of love will be performed, graves will
| be decorated, the dear ones gone be-
| fore will be remembered, and yener-
alton for the valor of the heroes of the
war and tender regrets for the young
and the old who departed in peace,
will hallow this day and glorify The
! occasion.
Originally Memorial Day was sug-
gested as an annual tribute to the SOL
diers who fell in defence of the Union
1t was afterwards made broader in
its aims, and the blue and gray met
as friends around the graves of the
comrades who fought and bled on
either side. Gradually it has come to
be a day Of general decoration of the
tombs of the departed, and an ex-
preston in flowers of regard for the
loved ones who it is shown by those
tokens, though lost to sight are to
memory dear.
The Observance. which has grown
into a national custom, deserves 10 be
perpetuated. When war shall be no
more the victims of the fell destroyer
will continue to throng the cities OF
the dead, and they ought not to be
forgotten. But to honor the brave
kindles the fires of patriotism. Cere-
monies over those who fought for
their country arouse regard for rs
institutions. TIE unfuriing of the ma
tional flag inspires devotion 10 The in
stitutions which il represents, and The
prayers, and orati01s, and floral of1er-
ings, encourage that sentiment of re-
spect for courage and emulation of
great deeds which are in Il high de-
gree educational.
Memorial Day should be observed
in the spirit Of the occasion. II de-
grades it to make it a period of rude
revelry and dissipation. We would
not have it time of gloom. There is
enough of sadness in this world With
out appointing days Cor tears. Isut
the other extreme is discordant with

while smiles fifty go with flowers, even
when decorating the graves OF the de-
parted, the boistecods mirth of the
vulgar and the noisy registering of the
inebriate are sadly out IF fitness for
Memorial Day.
Therefore we appeal for a decorous
observance of DecoiItion Dag. Let
liberty abound, but let it be the lib
erty of law and order, OF peace and
good will, of temperance ard tolera-
ton. The silent dead may Tot know
of the doings of the living. They may
gain no good from the garlands
placed upon their tombs, and no harm
from the dissertation of the day set
apart to do them honor. But the liv-
ing are either profited or injured by
what is done, and it is for the benefit
of the living, and particularly of the
buds who are to be the bios

the proper celebration of the most
unique of national holidays, the per-

They desire the free and unlimited
coinage of both metals. 1t is Iegisla-
ton that has cast one money metal
down, it is legislation that can raise 1t
UP again. The parity that prevailed
previous to 1873, when both metals had
equal rights Of coinage, can be main
tanned again under similar conditions.
The interest of the gold holders of
the world and not any inherent prin-
ciple has brought about the legisla-
ton adverse to silver and kept it down.
The money power of the world fights
it's restoration. Let that be overcome
and the victory will be won.

A RAILWAY RUMOR.

A rumor having been started that
the Rio Grande Western would form a
close alliance with the Midland as
against the Rio Grande railway, some
feeling has been excited in Denver in
reference to the passenger and freight
traffic from that city to Salt Lake.
But the Denver News does not take
any stock in the report. It reasons
that though the Western occupies a
strong position in reference to the
other two roads it will not invite
competition by failing to remain en-
tirely Independents as between it's two
connecting lines. It has a, fine road
bed and a perfect equipment, capable
Of handling many times the volume Of
traffic which it carries to and from
the lines terminating at Grand juno
ton. So long as it can do this, it will
not run the risk of losing any portion
of its business by compelling either the
Midland or the Rio Grande to extend
to Salt Lake. The News says:
THAT the Rio Grande would be COM
PEELED to build to Salt Lake were it
