The Willamette at Salem Registers I7f
Feet Alb We Low Water.

the stage Of the river since Monday
evening when it registered ia feet.
AT Eugene the river was raising
again this morning The stage OF
the river at Salem is effected more by
the condition of the Santiam river
than byl',the upper Willamette.
Eighteen feet of water at Salem makes
10 necessary to close the locks at Ore

big business. The Gypsy, owned by

ing the river transporting wheat.

PAT AND THE BANKERS.

Following story illustrates the
beauties Of "sound money"
Pat had worked steadily on the sec
tiou for twenty years without losing
day and concluded he would take a
day off. He went to Chicago and sat
on the cushioned chairs of the Great
Northern hotel. There was a bank
ers' scOnvention in session and the
capitalists stood in groups upon the
marble floor discussing the beauties
of "sound money" and were agreeing
together that the present high priced
dollar was the best that working
men" ever had, because it would buy
him 50 much more than ever before.
Pat listened intently and finally the
following colloquy ensued:
Pat-"Gent emen, would yees be
kind enough to answer me a ques.
tlon?"
Enthusiastically, we will and be
glad Of the opportunity"
Pat-"This is how the matter
stands. Twinty years ago | was
wurrukin' on the EIinoy Cintral rail
road and L was gettin' two dollars
and half day; that made fifteen
dollarsa week. l supported me fam
lily, educated me children and paid
my rint on eight dollars week, and
l saved oop seven dollars week. I'm
wurrkin' now on the Elinoy Clint raj
railroad, on the selfsame siction
where was. "I'm gittin' a dollar

the question l wants to AK yees is
this: How l can support me family,

and save 0op seYen dollars week,
whin l amt glttin' but six ninety,

The bankers adjourned to the bar
TO figure on the problem.

BURKE, BEWARE.

A man named Burke from Indiana is
making himself fercely and forcibly felt
in Cuba fighting against the Spaniards.
He Is just now engaged in blowing up
trains with dynamite and knocking
Weylers men about in the most careless
but at the same time effective manner.
This man Burke being a dynamiter per-
haps England would like to inquire into
his actions down there so as to be pre-
pared for him should he take a notion
to visit the Britishers after the Cuban
was is over. England is ever loollin
long ways ahead for dangerous Irishrnen
and has them spotted and condemned
before the are captured and tried. Burke
had better look out and not furnish too
much evidence of what he can do with
dynamite, for should he escape being
kidnapped and carried to England, Scot
land yard sleuths may formulate a
charge against him Of the most horrible
character such as they had against Ivory
recently for attending to his own busi-
ness. Once that is done England will
ask for extradition from Spain and as
the latter wants to be as friendly as pos
sible with all European countries, Burke
woir1d be readily given up and his i'm
prisonm ent sure to follow. Burke should
beware.

An exchange says: A southern Mani
toba man who moved to Montana few
years ago started back a short time
since, and left the following farewell on
the wall Of his shack: -Four miles from
a neighbor, sixteen miles from post
office, twenty five miles from railroad,
fourteen miles from schoclhouse,
forty-one miles from church. one hun
dred and eighty miles from timber, two
hundred miles from Canadian, half a
mile from water, d. quarter of mile
from hades, the same distance from a
bloodthirsty halfbreed. God Bless Our
Home! Gone back to Manitoba, which
is Gods country, to get fresh start"
And the people in Montana who read
that notice were puzzled. They had all
along believed, and >ruly, that they
themselves lived in Gods country, and
wondered if they could possibly be mis-
taken.

A CLAUSE FOR THE TREATY.

Why not have clause inserted in the
pending treaty that all Irishmen or
Americans who may in the future be az
rested by England as suspects, without
sufficient cause appearing, shall be re-
leased at once upon the demand of this
country. If we are going to have the
boon of treaty OF peace let us have it
in practice not in theory merely and
let the curbing of England's propensity
for making arrests of Irishmen and
Americans be a feature Of the document
that shall be strenuously insisted upon.
If this shall be accomplished it is not
likely that many 1rishmen would object
to the treaty as they do now. England
should have no advantage and should be
compelled to give an equivalent for the
moral, not to say material support Of
strong government like ours, at time
too when she needs that support worse
than any other nation in Europe. Eng
land is without friends on the continent
and thus she eagerly turns her face to
America, irrespective of the fact that in
the past she did what she could to crush
US on more than one occasion.

THEY GET NOTHING.

An Ashla-d.. Wisconsin, correspond
ent wants to know whether
or not the members of the
English House of Commons receive a
salary. In answer would say that they
10 not-not shilling 1t is one of the
reasons why so many good men are kept
out of parliament as they are not able to
pay their election expenses and after
wards live in London at their own
expense, drawing nothing for their seryi-
ces.
It may be said In this connection that
the large sums sent from America during
Parnell's time, and upon other occasions,
went generally 70 pay for the election of
Irish members as well as paying the liv-
ing expenses OF those members while at
tending parliament. 1t is true, by the
use OF such money many weak men were
returned who did little or nothing for
the cause of Ireland and whose chief am
bition seemed to be to get to London to
enjoy a metropolitan life with the pre-
fix Of honorable" attached to their
names, but on the other hand men whose
time was valuable could scarcely be ex-
pected to devote most of it to the services
of their country, especially when that
time was apt to be frittered away by the
internal strife of warning factions. Still,
as is we'll known, men who could afford
to do so gave their time and money for
Ireland's benefit and asked no other re-
ward than the applause Of good con-
science and the happiness of seeing their
country free from the clutches of the enc
my.
While these remarks are a depression
from the direct question they may never
theless be news and prove OF interest to
many.

LET US PROTEST.

Would it not be an excellent idea for
the Irishmen of the Northwest, and par
ticularly those of the Twin Cities, to hold
mass meetings, similar to those now be-
outrageous taxation of Ireland by the
British government? Such meetings
might have no direct influence upon Eng
lands policy but that they would have an
indirect influence no one with reason
can doubt Irish men in this country
have held similar meetings upon other
phases of English injustice towards Ire
land and it is certain they had bene-
fetal effect
Ireland has been robbed through unjust
taxation to the extent Of $60o,O00,0OO and
although it is not expected that England
will ever pay little of this vast sum,
even should she agree to pay the small
lest fraction Of it, shesshould be taught
that this is matter upon which all Irish
men are united-all Irishmen, no matter
where located nor no matter what their
calling in life-and that although they
may expect nothing in the way of repay
ment they demand that the robbery
shall cease. And while all classes in
Ireland-Nationalist and Unionists,
Healyites, Dillonites, Redmondites, land
lords and tenants, Catholics and Profess
tants are a unit in opposition to this
unjust, grinding policy they should be
