'RAH FOR NICARAGUA.

Our dear friend Senator Mitchell
sends US his three last speeches in the
senate for the Nicaragua canal, TO
order the improvement OF the William
ette and Yamhill rivers. The state
will be flooded with these speeches to
a depth that will make IL easy for the
senator 10 navigate into a fourth
term as senator.
His Maritime Canal bill proposes to
issue 10 .the New York corporation
that has kihdly taken the canal under
its wing and already made two or three
assignments, OF a hundred millions.
and "Our Father 10 Heaven" knows
not how many more millions, OF
bonds. II We are going 10 have any
thing TO do with a canal for the peo-
pie why not build IL without a private
corporation? Uncle Sam can build !
canals on the Columbia, can clean the
snags out OF the Willamette, the
famhill, the Yaquina and Salt Greek,
but We are not big enough to build a
canal that would be a source Of great
profit to all without 'huntingtonizingn
Il 10 some rotten corporation.
Mr.. Mitchell entirely oyerlOoks the
fact al present most prominent. The
country Is suffering for revenue, not

whole system is made 20 center over

simple adherence 10 truth would sbOw
he does not receive. If Mr.. ScUtt's

Life In a london shop.

Assistants who consult their own
interests will refrain from talking about
their salaries. 4" Such is notice posted
mp in the dining and recreation rooms
OF q large drapery establishment in Lon
don. The evidence is unimpeachable,
Tor 1t is that OF Miss Collet, one of the
assistant commissioners of the labor
commission. Two things might be de-
duced from the possibility of such no
tice existing. One is what vast mar
ket of unemployed assistants there must
be TO draw from, and how hard it must
be to get situation, if men submit to
be silent on the subject of their griev-
ances which even the fellahin Of Egypt
are not debarred from airing. The song
which they sing i'll the very ears of their
taskmasters Is anent their cruel treat
ment and scanty wage. Another thing
that notice testifies to is that the life of
shop assistants must be duller than one
thought. Think of their standing from
morning till night, with their tranquil
air of politeness unruffled by the fidgets
and fuss of thoughtless customers, not
daring to stretch or yawn as a relief to
the nameless WEAKNESS of the stuffy
shop, and the long day, and the gas,
and the crowds of new and unsympa
thetic faces, the taking out and putting
back of endless things, not permitted to
speak to one another without risk of s
fine Git is 2s. Cd. in some shops), ant

troubles-viz, to grumble! Life in ;

bliss, life in kitchen liberty, compared

He Said .Poke and Beans"

Joe Cavan, who has had a whirlwind
experience in the south and west, said
to the crowd in the same old place, the
up town hotel:
my advice to you all is, be natural.
Do not try to deceive people with your
affected talk or i'll your clothes. You
will be certain to show the cloven foot
somewhere. l was at dinner once IN
ST. Louis. 1t was given by Governor
Marmaduke. Before we had given our
orders, for at a western dinner every
man has the privilege of saying what he
wants, the governor asked each one OF
his guests where he hailed from. One
was from Tennessee, one from ILLINOIS,
one from California. The east was not
represented, so l handed i'll my card
from Vermont. Just then the waiter
passed the bill of fare, and, my ruling
passion asserting itself, Poke and
beans, said / in my natural voice.
"'Cavan, said the governor OF Mis-
souri, vehemently, you're from Georgy.
No man from Vermont ever said poke

for Yankee, sub, is reprehensible and
will cost you the wine.

The Whaling Industry.

Tho trials and tribulations of the
whaling industry defy the meager JUS
tice which the resources of single par
agraph affords. A volume might cover
the subject. The difficulty about whai-
ing is the uncertainty of whales. These
mammals decline to be regulated by any
signal service reporter and refuse in
their migrations to respect precedent or
the ambitions of the arctic oil works.
The consequence is skipper may cruise
the northern ATTITUDES, trying conclu-
sions with icebergs and polar bears, en-
dangering life and limb in NANCY old
tub, encountering the perils Of storm,
wave and Eskimo, and all without sight

started together, when something broke
on the Reindeer, and she was condemn

repaired. How the gallant skipper
cursed the misfortune which detained
him among the icebergs! How he rallied
