A CHARACTERISTIC DODGE.-SOme
time ago the Republican press made a
great parade of proposition said to
have been made by Mckinley to his
goldbug cohorts that the magnificent
inaugural display that was being
planned be omitted, and that the
money it would cost be appropriated
to relief of the starving people in
many of our large cities. 1t turns
out that this statement was fake,
and that no such suggestion has been
made by the tin-god or any of his sup
porters, in earnest, and that the pro-
position was made to secure little of
that confidence" among the laboring
class that has been demonstrated to
be so wofully deficient notwithstand-
ing the loud and persistent promises
OF the Presidential campaign.

THE Oregonian came near having
conniption fits over the success of the
fusion party in this State, but it is
singularly reticent regarding the rec,
ord the Oregon lawmakers have made
in allowing one man to tie up the
wheels of legislation, when some relief
to the burdened taxpayer was SO i'm.
peratively needed by modification OF
the statutes. Only think of it! The
whole session has been frittered away
in disgraceful boys'-play, and the vital
interests of the whole commonwealth
have been sacrificed to the ambition oil

IT is said that there is an organized
effort being made by the Republican
politicians throughout the State to
pass the Cline Dispensary bill, as a
means of "doing up" the Peoples
Party. That that will be the only i'm.

body who has brain capable of fol-
lowing line of reasoning from cause
to effect. 1t is strange that the Gre

see that they are being used as cats

IT is said that Senator Squire wants
to close up his business in this State
and take up his permanent residence
in the Empire State. Well, if that
will crafty his disappointed ambition,
none should say him nay. He has re-
sided more in New York than in the
the State he ha. represented in the
Senate, ever since his term of Office
began, and it would be cruel indeed
to keep him from gratifying his hearts
most earnest longing. The State can
cry quits if Cabossa can.

raising a fund to give work to the un.

be public boon.

1T is suggested that the Governor OF
Kentucky and probably the Executive

to fill, but the precedent set when

and stand as snubbing-post against
their admission.

ASTORIA has passed an ordinance
making it misdemeanor to spit upon
the streets. The measure provides for
fine of from 81 to $40, or imprison-
ment not to exceed five days. What
the tobacco chewers will do about the
matter has not yet been determined.
1t Is suggested, however, that they
sling a five-gallon coal-oil can to their
waist by strap, into which they
may squirt their juice when the

1T is estimated that the time con-

his efforts to enlighten the House, will

In other words, he has delayed the

of the whole session. Is this one of

"must have, though it does come

The Twaddle Of the Times.

titled " Even Homer Sometimes Mods"

as well, if he does not wish to have his

OF the legal maxim "Falsc in one.
false in ALL" Then again the asser-
ton is made, in the reply, that the
STANDARD editor INDUCES in every
variety OF language familiar to the
slums, in his Characterization of the
Times, its editor and the motive which
inspired the article" This is Just as
false. There was not word, q line,
or a sentence of the STANDARDS arti.
Gle, but was dignitied and respectful
In fact, to be little metaphorical, a
diamond-pOinted stylus was used to
stir up a mass of nauseating putres-
cence; not out of respect to its author
but for the journal for which we had
hitherto entertained high regard for
hOnors well earned in support of Il
cause of mutual labor.
If the meritorious articles which
have appeared in the Times emanated
from the same brain-which we very
much doubt-then indeed it is chari-
table to assume that it was clouded
with somnolency when it guided the
hand which wrote such string of
nonsensical balderdash as appeared in
the article favoring removal of the
capital.
The effect of the Times article on
the legislative vote shows that its infu-
ence is about as effective as puff of
wind, for if there has been any propo-
sition that was sat down upon with
more vigor and emphasis than the re-
moval bills, it has not been recorded.
This action has shown that it is abso-
lutely without influence in a Legisla-
ture which it ostensibly helped to
elect.
1t seems that 'twere better to have
made no such foolish suggestion, than
to have supported it in manner that
excited only disgust and helped to
bury it so deep that it will never be
resurrected.

NEW USE FOR A BICYCLE.
A Texas Deputy Sheriff Makes His PrIs-
oner Isido Behind Him.


Josh Messenger, deputy sheriff of Gray
son county, Tex, has brand new device
for bringing in prisoners whom no has mr.
rested. He is probably the first peace of
ficor in the United Statcs to adopt it. Tho
device is nothing moro nor less than that
OF bringing them on the rear step of his
bicycle
81 should think you'd be afraid to risk
yourself in your prisoners power to that
extent" suggested one of an interested
circle Of auditors us Mr.. Messenger had
been explaining how it is done.
''Wcll, that was what that fellow thought
tho other night when 1 brought him in
from Southmayd," was the reply, "but
didn't have u bit of difficulty in explaining
to him how matters stood. AS matter of
fact it is every bit as safe to bring "a prison
CT in standing ON tho rear step of your
wheel as any other way and possibly safer
If tho fellow is OH ono horse and you on
another, no may make some motion and
got the advantage of you before you can
holp yourself, but if hos standing on tho
step of your bicycle he's got to hold on to
your shoulders. 1t don't make n bit of
difference how dark night it is, If he goes
to make tho least unusual motion, you can
feel him, and you can throw him off the
wheel before he can wink an eye. Before
he can get up again you can cover him
with your gun, and there he isl
"How about that fellow you brought in
from Southmayd?'
ooh, almost forgot to tell about him.
He was fellow charged with murder.
After some little argument I persuaded
him to get up behind mo on tho steps of
my bicycle"
Hero Mr.. Messenger paused moment
and smiled rathpr Snrflanicnllv
What arguments did you use?" asked
ono of tho crowd.
'Oh, l just persuaded him." was the
reply, with II significant emphasis. "Of
course L took his gun away from him, and
thcn he got up behind mo all right enough
After we had gone some little distance he
seemed to take II notion to talk.
You seem to be u sort of expert with
u bicycle, ho said. But how do you know
l may not be just as good myself? I can
feel my thigh pressing against your six
shooter, but what is there to prevent me
from taking it away from you, shooting
you and then riding off on your whccl:'
81 just sortcr laughed and said, ooh,
don't reckon you'll do anything rs bad as
all that
Just about that time 1 felt him mako
some peculiar kind of motion. never did
know whether he was in earnest in trying
to escape or whether hr was just joking
I'm not even sure whether he himself know
or not. The first thing he really did know
he was crawling out from under u barbcd
wire fence and was looking up tho barrel
of big navy six shooter with the moon
