declared a draw, but in the break-away
the Democratic devil got his wrist badly
bitten.
The transit instrument of the state
university, which a month ago was
stolen from the university in Eugene,
was found Sunday morning by 6. W.
Cochran at the corner of Lawrence and
Clark streets, in Eugene. 1t was placed
in the gutter under the crosswalk, with
about foot of the instrument showing.
At the time of the theft the regents
rightly judged that the instrument was
taken in the hope of receiving reward,
and therefore refused to offer one. The
placing of the instrument where it could
be found shows the culprlts lost hope of
securing any regard for their nefarious
work.
One of the observers who should be
qualified to pronounce judgment upon
the state of the times about the country
is the travelling circus man. One of
these men, belong to a show the name
of which is well known, has said recently
that in a journey halfway over the
continent the business of the circus has
shown an improvement over last year,
and that in almost every town he has
noticed a great deal of painting and fix
ing over of buildings. He says the peo-
pie have appeared almost everywhere to
he happier and in easier financial cir
cumstances than for the past few sea-
sons.

The New Administration.

The city government has changed,
but affairs move along without ripple.
Mayor Nolan succeeds Mayor Menefee,
names the new officers, whom the coun-
Gil promptly confirm, and everything
runs as smoothly as a Sunday school
picnic or country wedding. Marshal
Lauer succeeds himself and very prop
erly, for he has made good officer, and
the re'appointment of Julius Wiley as
nightwatchman is a deserved recogui.
ton of his merit. The only change is in
the recorders Office, G.. W. Phelps going
out and Roger B. SInnott going in. Mr..
Phelps has made a record of which he
may justly feel proud. The clerical
work of his Office has been kept up cor
rectly and neatly, and in the judicial
branch he has made a record that has
no more flaws than that of the renowned
Haroun, Caliph of Bagdad. His suc-
cessor will maintain the standard, and
dispense justice with a generous hand,
$50 or five daye" being about the least
Roger would be willing to offer any ap-
plicant. The appointments seem to
meet with general approval, and Mayor
Nolan is to be congratulated upon the
peaceful launching of the ship of state.

Tumwater Indians.

The most attractive feature of the
parade at'Portland was the. band of In
dians from Tumwater, carried down by
the D. P. & A. N. Co.
Agent Allaway had explained to them
something of the size of the city of
Portland, of the big bridges and the
ships, yet it was easily seen they all
thought he was deceiving them. AS the
boat approached the city, and they real
lied somewhat the wonders Of civiliza-
ton, they began to take in the regular
old 4th of July feeling. They got on the
hurricane deck of the Regulator and be-
gun beating their tomtoms and dancing
the war dance of their tribe. The blue
jackets of the monitors turned out to
cheer them, the boats and the shops of
the city whistled and saluted them, and
in less than no time a crowd of fully
5000 were at the wharf to meet them.
Their ponies were brought out, and it
was found that one of the tribe had no
horse. Mr.. Allaway telephoned to one
of the livery stables for a cayuse, and
the stableman thinking to have some

who rode him proved to be dandy and
stayed with him like clothes pin. All
along the line of the parade, the Indian
contingent received the heartiest ap-
plause. Tney went on the Monterey
and surrounded by the admiring sailors,
gave a war dance.
They came home delighted with their
trip, and with some improved and prob
ably exaggerated notions as to the won-
ders of the white mans world.

SOMETIMES enterprising jOurnals.are
able to get inside information and
foresh adow the recommendations or
suggestions of presidential message 5.
But 10 the case of such reckless al d
purely sens itional journal as the New
York World, it is not entirely safe to
give credence TO such alleged infor-
nation, even if it should get hold of
it. The World, however, claims to be
credibly informed that President Nc
Kinley approves the program of au-
tonomy that Spain promises the Gu
ans, and that in his forthcoming mes
sage he will express the hope that the
Cubans will lay down their arms and
accept what Spain proposes. Not be
cause the Void says SO, but because
this is in accordance with probability,
the statement is probably correct.

interest by a large majority of the
