THE ASYLUM MIDDLE.


The decision of the supreme court
in the branch asylum matter is no
doubt in accordance with the law,
but what effect will it have on the
treasurer or the secretary of state if
called upon to issue or cash warrants
in favor of state institutions outside
of Salem? Can the members of the
supreme court, for instance, draw
their extra allo owance of $500 per
annum for holding their term at Pen
dleton? Or, for that matter, can the
secretary or treasurer issue or draw
a warrant for any of the state insti-
tutions not located near, but at
Salem? In speaking of the present
condition of the branch asylum mat
ter, the Baker City Democrat says:
The financial status of the Eastern
Oregon branch asylum muddle is
about this: About $500 has been
drawn on the Eastern Oregon asylum
appropriation including one attorney
fee of $3.50. All necessary expenses
connected with the asylum will have
to come out of the appropriation
levied for the asylum at Union. All
has been converted into the general
fund, except the $4,000 levied this
year. What was levied in 1894 was
turned into the general fund. The
warrant of $25, 900 that was issued
for payment of the land is out, en- /.
dorsed by the state treasurer. It
was issued In the name of Phil Met
schan as member of the stale board,
turned over by him to Thos. Wright
of Union, who in turn passed it over
to Portland bank, where it is now.
The title to the lands have passed to
the state, and are on file with the
secretary of state. The deed is re-
corded in Union county. The land
is paid for, but not by the state, al
though the state, owns the. land.

Cuban affairs. seemed to, have
reached a crisis: According to the
latest dispatches, General Weyler,
with 10000 troops had attacked
Maceo, the insurgent leader, who has
butt 900. The latter, however, has
the advantage of position, and the
continuous firing indicated that the
battle was severe one. Spain fears
the meeting of congress, and is urg-
ing Weyler to crush the rebellion be-
fore that time. It is understood
that Weyler must either win or be
recalled, and this is what has sent

MEXICo'S RURALES.

A Sort of Police Force Somewhat Simi-
 lar to the Texas Rangers
 We heard wailing and sobbing from women as the train left Taponna the other day and poking our heads out of the window we saw half dozen peons weeping as if their hearts were broken. The conductor told us that they were the wives and daughters of a desperate bandit who had just been captured and had been placed on the train in charge of rurales, to be taken to the adjoining state of Chihuahua and impressed into the army where his excessive interest in other folks affairs could be usefully applied to Indian fighting, Just as like as not, he said, the prisoner would nev- CT reach Chihuahua. Tho rurales who had him in charge would give him a chance to escape and then shoot him as he ran. Such incidents were continu- ally occurring, although they were less frequent of late than formerly because of the energy of Alberto Velenzuela, chief of the rurales in the state of Du- rango, who became our fellow passen-
 ger at the next station, and proved a very entertaining one, for, like other famous men, Captain Velenzuela has | his social nature we'll developed.
 The ruraies of Mexico are sort of military police like the famous Texas rangers, who work entirely in the coun- 1 try, and were originally organized to protect ranchmen, miners, stage com panies, and the travelling public gene rally against the highwaymen, cattle | thieves and guerrillas that terrified Mexico for many years. They are rough riders these rurales, and do | their work thoroughly, and their cap tain, like Judge Lynch, tries, condemns and executes his prisoners, and saves the regular courts a great deal of trou- ble and expense. In the mountains of
 Mexico, where prisons and courts are few, the captain of the rurales is pros ecuting attorney, judge and jury all in
 one, and he tries every case as soon as i it reaches him, according to a code of

noor BEER IN THE HOME.


 What is it that is devastating our fair land and raising the devil with youth and age? Is 1t the bicycle? Sis- ter Charlotte Smith says 1t is. We do not say so for we do not know that it is so. We do, however, know that unless lovely Woman invents some way to look lovelier on bicycle than she now seems able to she will lose some of her reputation for loveliness. But whatever one may think about the ter rible influence of the bicycle In driving or wheeling the country to the dogs there can be no question about the Satanic power of root beer in the home It has been long recognized, but, sim gularly enough, it has remained for society of earnest women to openly and formally call attention to it. The Wo- mans Christian Temperance Union of Rhode Island has just held it's State convention at Pawtucket, and we find among the resolutions adopted one con demntng "the use of root beer in the home" Anybody who has ever tried to make root beer in the home or who has ever tried to drink root beer made in the home will heartily join with the Rhode Island Christian Temperance Union women in their condemnation of 1t. It is awful stuff, especially when there is too much yeast in it.
 The temptation to try to make root beer in the home has been greatly strengthened during the last few years by willy men who make and sell small bottles of extracts which are warranted to produce, with proper manipulation, several gallous of the very finest root beer. Probably the Rhode Island Christian Temperance Union women have been trying to make these bottles do what the advertisements say they will and are discouraged and disgusted with "root beer Tn the home" What ever ails them they have done we'll in declaring against the use of root beer | in the home" If at their next meet ing they will fix things so that we l can get some decent root beer at the soda water emporiums they will lay us all under still greater obligation and do much to improve the sad state of the | country.

CIVILIZATION.

A pen of silver was given to MT. Bry- an the other day by a labor organiza- tion at St. Paul, Minnesota, Ito be used in signing the free coinage bill" In his speech of acceptance MT. Bryan said, among other things, that there can be no real civilization where a few in the land have more than they can use and the many have an insufficient amount to give the necessary suste- nance" MT. Bryan didn't point out that there can be no real civilization in a country where "the masses" are against "the classes" where the ma jority of debtors spend their time in planning how to cheat their creditors out of ha1s or all that is due them, and where the legislation of the coun- try is for the benefit of the owners of the silver mines of the country. As MT. Bryan knows that this condition of things does not exist in this country and is not likely to soon, perhaps that is the reason he didn't say anything about it in his speech of acceptance of the silver pen with which he will not sign a bill whose object it would be to bring it about. If he is as anxious about civilization as he pretends to be the best thing he can do for it is to re- tire to his law office and in its quiet and seclusion repent of the dastardly at- tacks he has made upon civilization There could be no real civilization in g land ruled by Bryan.

 upset whatever civilization now exists | in this country.

 IlIIl SIR4WS

The straws which indicate which way the political wind is blowing in the West increase in number and signifi- canoe. One of them is the vote which shows that out of the 36,734 votes cast so far 27 ,813 are for Mckinley, 7941 for Bryan. TAT for Palmer and 23S scatter ing Another significant straw is that contributed by two professors of the University of Wisconsin who recently started out for bicycle trip of five days in their own State. One is a be- liever in the gold standard; the other is a silver man. They went with the wind, changing their course as the wind shifted, and travelled in all about 250 miles in southern Wisconsin, pass ing through Dame, Rock, Walworth and Jefferson counties, all great farming counties. Simply to gratify their own curiosity, they stopped every man they met or passed on the highway, hailed every man they saw in the field or farm yard, and asked him how he was going to vote for president. When they got back to Madison they reported that in all those 250 miles of Wisconsin roads they found not one lone man who was going to vote for anybody except Will liam Mckinley. At first they thought that the explanation must be that they were passing through a region where the farmers were remarkably free from mortgage burdens, but inquiries show ed that there were the average num- Der of nortgaged farms in these coun- ties. The mortgaged men were simply not laboring under any delusions that free silver would lift the mortgages.
 These are two straws There will be bales of such straws before election day
