of very profitable meetings for sound
money extending over the past week He
is a hard worker and his success as a
campaigner is due largely to his desire to
let his hearers get at the bottom of facts

r. jackson, of Middletown, manager of the
un-plate mill at that place and a former
Democrat delivered a stirring and forceful
address for protection and sound money at
the Mckinley Club rooms last night The
clubhouse could not hold the large crowd
that turned out to hear him and the side
walk in front of the doors was filled with
listeners. MIR. Jacksons address is COM
mended as a good effort in the cause. At
New Salem last night another of the large
crowds that has greeted Hon. Henry e.
Johnson everywhere in Rush county
turned out to hear him. The RushvilIe
drum corps and Mckinley Glee Club
helped to enliven the occasion. Mr.. John
son presented the issues with his usual
ability Almost unprecedented interest has
centered in Mr.. Johnson's speeches in this
county.

A SINGLE PROTEST.
From a ScOtchman Against the Pro-
posed Memorial to Stevenson.

From n ScOtchman Against the Pro-
posed Memorial to Stevenson.
Mr.. Robert Wallace, the disting lish-
ed mem Der for East Edinburgh, sends
us an amusing letter of protest against
Lord Rosabery's proposed memorial to
Louis Stevenson. "Stevenson," says
Mr.. Wallace, published and repub-
lished mean, pharisaical, gratuitous
and utterly inaccurate attack on the
memory and character of Burns, man
worth hundred of him." We do not
exactly know what Mr.. Wallace means
by calling StevenSon's essay gratultouS.
He must have been more fortunate
than ourselves in his mode of acQuir-
ing it. But we agree with him that
it is lamentably wanting in reverence
and cous Gera ton for one Of the might
lest geniuSeS who ever appeared on
this planet. Still, that is hardly rea-
son for not approaching the rare and
peculiar gifts of the author of kid
mapped" and "Catriona." of The Dyna-
inter" and Across the Palms." Mr..
Wallace calls himself a ''Stylist,' a
word to be avoided by those who de-
sire to be thought authorities on style.
He was undoubtedly the master of
vivid and effective prose, as we'll as
of verse that delights children, whom
alone it was meant to delight. His
sentences are elaborate and artificial
They smell, in the old phrase, Of the
lamp.
His art was not the highest, because
it did not conceal itself But it was
exquisite, it was curious, it was vari-
Gus, and it gives intense pleasure to
cultivated minds. Shakespeare and
Burns, and Scott appeal to all classes,
to the man who has read everything
and to the man who can hardly read
Stevenson is not of that stamp. His
readers are comparatively few, and
whether they will increase or diminish
with time we cannot say. Even Mr..
Wallace, with oil his enthusiasm for
Burns, which, as he justly says, is
shared by every true critic, cannot ex-
cuse Lord Rosebery of GOODNESS in that
respect. Few nobler tributes have
been paid to Burns memory than Lord
Rosebery's address at Glasgow last
month. But we really cannot confine
our admire ton to the supreme poets Of
the world. Stevenson was an admira-
bic writer, and his native country does
we'll to honor him. What Mr. Wallace
means by saying that he "sneered at
most things Scotch" we cannot con-
ceive We should have thought that
no man, not even Sir Walter, had a
more passionate love for the beautiful
city which HIr. Wallace 50 worthily
represents in the house of commons

ONLY LIVE ROBBERS.
The Postofnce Department Does Not
Pay Rewards for Dead Ones.

The Post Ofilce Department Does Not
Pay Rewards for Dead Ones.
Some very curious c,sLs have been
decided by he law department Of the
postof1ice department relating to re-
wards for the capture of robbers of
postottices Mr. NIilliken has just rem
dered decision. against a claimant at
California. Mo-, where posIofiice safe
was robbed. In such cases the depart
ment pays $500 each for the conviction
Of the persons engaged in the robbery.
There were i've persons concerned in
the affair, but the authorities had no
clew to the men. 1t happened, how
ever, that the guilty persons were III
saloon some time afterward, and one
of them got into dispute With a
farmer and lively row ensued in
which the farmer shot and killed the
man. The other men ran out, but were
captured by other persons, not because
they were postOffice robbers, but be-
cause they were engaged in the row.
1t turned out on examination that the
man who was killed was the ring lead
er, of the robbers and had the bulk OF
the booty on his person. His death re-
suited in proving completely in the rob-
berry upon the other four men. The
men who captured the four have been
allowed $500. The farmer made appli-
cation for 5000, but it is held that the
reward being offered for the arrest
and conviction" of the robbers, he can
not be paid the amount. The dead rob-
Der was neither arrested nor convicted
of the offense. Mr.. Milliken said that
it was rather hard, but under the law
he could do nothing else.
He recalled case in Oklahoma
where there had been robbery and
three notorious desperadoes were pur-
sued, and, after fierce encounter, one
was killed, another MORALLY wounded
and the other captured. The dead rob-
Der in this instance was the leader,
and had nearly all the stolen property
on his person. The others were tried
and convicted, and the wounded man
died shortly afterward. The reward
of $500 was paid for the capture Of the
two, but, although Mr.. Milliken report
ed in favor of paying the reward for
the dead robber, it was found not to be
in accordance with the law, and was
refused. Postof1ce robbers must be
taken alive in order to secure rewards.

Complimentary to The Dalles.

The Hood River Glacier pays the fol-
lowing compliment to The Dalles.
1.-THE Dalles is having a building
boom. Mr.. Max Vogt is rebuilding
his brick block that was destroyed by
the the big fire several years ago. Mr..
Vogt's building will cost $4,000. A.
M. Williams is putting up an addi-
tional store adjoining his property, to
cost $4,000. Besides these, there are
a number of private residents going up,
while other buildings are being raised
and improved. There is a healthy
feeling there in anticipation of a large
output of wool and a ageneral confidence
in the future of The Dalles that speaks
well for the enterprising spirit of its
citizens. The expected opening of
the locks, which will give uninter-
rupted water communication, and the
fLct of it's being general distributing
point also tend to boom the place.
