ONE AGAINST MANY.

That zone should put thousand to
flight" was, in the days OF old consid-
cred to be wonderful thing. Modern
times has shown it to be thing of not
uncommon occurrence. Especially has
1t been illustrated in our houses of con-
lgress. Senator White of California, in
his speech before the senate, supporting
a change i'll the rules providing that
when a bill has been debated in the
thirty, that it should be in order, with
out debate, to fix the time for taking a
vote, illustrated this most clearly. He
cited a case In the last congress, in
which one member got his way by threat
ening to read a manuscript foot and a
half high containing a thousand pages.
t'Under our program" said Senator
White, ga single voice .neutralizes, nay
vanquishes, eighty-seven." Sir Boyle
Roche would have said: "One senator
outnumbers eighty-seven." When you
multiply these eighty-seven by the con-
stituency that sent them there, the
statement with which this article
was commenced is far more than justi-
fed. ''It WAS a common experience"
he continued, ''for the leader of the ma
jority to be told that if such and such
concessions were made, the majority
would be allowed to proceed The
rule securing unlimited deliberation did
not even secure intelligent deliberatlon.

Very true; but I am afraid of minori-

DID NOT KISS The BRIDE.

Sooner Than Cause Scene the Constable
Compromised for Small Fee.
A marriage took place in the office of
u justice of the peace in Columbus, o.,
a few days ago, and, while a most i'm
pressive ceremony to the contracting
parties, it had very humorous side
to the spectators. The couple were evil
IDENTIFY from the rural districts, says
the Troy Times, and were both seem
ingly covered with confusion at their
having to stand up before the four or
five present. After the form had been
read, the blushirg pair standing hand
in hand, the magistrate announced in
4 serious tone that, as it was the Gus
tom of the constable to kiss the bride,
she would prepare herself for the os-
culation. The constable stepped bold
~ out, and, being a good-lool1ingy young
fellow, the young woman seemed not
averse to being kissed. All doubts
of the propriety of the act were soon
set at rest, for the husky groom stepped
before her with.an air of determination
upon his face that showed it was life
and death with him. He gave his
hands an imaginary washing and said:
Squire, this yere lady b'longs to me
now, an what she did afore took her
amt my business, but if this constable
is willin', I'll give him $1.50 to call it
off, The server of writs signified his
assent and the jealous countryman
paid the amount, which found its way
over the bar of the nearest saloon a
few minutes after the newly-married
pair departed.

terest in the politics of the state, has
these kind words to say of The Dalles
and its convention aspirations:
The Dalles wants the next Oregon Re-
publican convention. In fairness to the
eastern part of the Webfoot state, it
would seem that The Dalles should have
it. As the locks at the Cascades will by
that time be completed, delegates could
go from both ways by water. 1t would
give a large number of citizens of the
state an opportunity to observe the
most important engineering feat on the
Pacific coast.
