Saved by the Cattle.

Cattle havo not the reputation of
great Intelligence or heroism, but
from an instance cited by Mr.. G. G..
d. Roberts in IL volume of exciting
tales entitled, "Around the Camp
Fire" it would appear that they do
sometimes arise to an emergency. We
abbrevlate the narrative of an old
farmer in tho interior Of New Bruins
wick.
One afternoon my father had sent
me and my little brother Teddy to
bring in the cattle. We were about
half way home with them when there
came a long, queer, bowling sound
from the other side of the clearing that
nearly made my heart stop beating.
The cattle heard it, too, and two or
three young heilers started to bolt.
but the old ones promptly hooked
them back. Then, not quarter of a
mile away, we saw a pack of gray
brutes dart out OF the woods and
make straight for us.
What do you suppose the cattle did?
The old cows and the steers made a
regular circle, putting the calves with
mo and Teddy in the centre. They
stood with their heads out and horns
down, like a company of militia form
ing square to receive charge of
cavalry. The old black aud white
bull was running the affair.
81 expect iather'll hear the noise,
and he and Bill"-the hired man-
"will come with guns and save us, )" said
Teddy.
The wolves charged straigh. at tho
circle of horns. We heard tho old
bull humble something away down in
his throat, and then ono of his horns
was through the body of the leadc-.
At this unexpected repulse the others
drew back.
After brief he esltation they re-
turned ana stole round and round tho
circle, looking for II weak spot. On tho
other side from our champion there
stood n nervous young COW. Sudden
ly II wolf made II rush upon her. She
spranS aside, thus opening passage
ny which the wolf rushed into tue very
centre OF tho circle, with his fierce red
eyes fastened upon Ic Idly.
But the old bull had spotted him.
Nimble as II squirrel, he bowled me and
Teddy over like nincpius, aud WAS
after the wolf, umblinc and grun-
hnng away down IN his stomach. Ho
fixed the wolf, Just ut that NOM
mont father and Bill dashed up AMI
snatcued us two Youngsters into their
saddles.

Partisan Lawyers.

Lawyers in France, according to n
Rochester gentleman, who has lust
returned from three years soiourn
in Paris, do not have such an easy
time rs they DO in this country, SAYS
the Union and Advertiser. There. far
from encouraging tho bright young
men OF the land to euter into the legal
profession, il would seem that they are
discouraged ana every obstacle thrown
in their path, tho result generally
being that 1t is only Il rich man who
can he q lawyer.
"Under the regulations Mt present.
in force" says this Rochester gentle
man, "barristers, after they have kept
their terms and passed n sort Of three
years novitiate, during which they
have the title OF advocate, but have no

Gil Of discipline, are inscribed on

sort of empty privilege in nino cases

must dice. He does not pay him.

A company has recently been or
ganized to build a railroad from va

the staGe of Oregon to Snake river.
1t is in fact recognition of the va
quina bay road which is not complete
to Albany on the willamette, and has
much work done through Linn county
to the Cascade mountains. This road
when finished will run through Lin
coin, Benton, Linn. Crook, Harvey
and Malheur counties. 1t will ac-
cOmmOdate an area of about 10000
square miles in Oregon, not now sup
piled with railroads and give to
large part of Eastern Oregon an out
let to deep water Its operation will
be an advantage TO Union county.
1t will give us an option to reach the

THE PENSION SCANDAL.
Z iitorial From a Southern Paper-The
Atlanta Constitution.

Z litorial From a Southern Paper-The
Atlanta Constitution.
If tue people of this country are ever
10 escape the sDoilation involved 10
the increase OF the pension list, there
unst be an emphatic protest against
IT., and that protest must come from
tile north. The south is somewhat
handicapped iD the matter. A pro
Jest here or from Southern leaders 10
Washington, would be easy 10 mis-
interpret. We feel that the govern
uent should reward every soldier
Who worthily served it, and who is
now physically or financially unable
10 take care of himself, SO feeling,
The southern representatives in con
gress have not on.y favored pensions
10 soldiers who really fought for the
union, but have refrained from pro-
testing against the raids which the
pension sharks have been making
in the public treasury duringthe past
ten or fifteen years.
There are already signs that public
sentiment at the north is beginning
TO make itself felt in opposition to
the wholesale spoilatiOn that has
been going on under cover Of the
pension bills. Senator Gallinger, OF
New Hampshire, who has been very
aceiyeln the pension business, and
who knows all its features, growled
forth protest the other day and
General II. V. Boynton, veteran of
the war and a Republican, has written
an article filled with unsparing de-
nunciation of the pension abuses.
We trust that these protests are
fore runners Of an impending storm
of public Indignation which is to arise
in the north. Whether this storm
comes as the result of the fact that
the Republicans are now responsible
for the deficit, or as protest against
further spoliatiOn, will make no diff.
erance, so long as reform Is accom-
plished. Out of a total of 1902, 900, 900
And already $3.50, 100000 is IN sight
for next year.
General Boynton says that If moth
ing is done to revise the rolls, the bill
will be S170,0O0,OO0 ,in three years
Curious to relate, Mr.. Dingley declare:
that the increase in the pension bill
is due "to more rapid administration
of the present laws" But Genera
BOyntOn, who is more familiar will
the facts than Mr.. Dingley, says tina
1t is due to abuses. He declares tina
"if the pension lists could be printed
every community in the land woul,
be dlsgusted with It's revelations.
He says that wealthy men in larg
numbers would be found upon it, an,
the names Of thousands would be re
vealed whose disabilities were onl
temporary.
The truth seems TO be that we ar
on the verge of an exposure from tn
inside that will show the pensio
swindles to be in the nature of a grea
national scandal.

future. We are quite sure he will not
attempt tn be consistent, but we be-
lieve he will try to be sincere after
what he has said.
We shall not expect Mr.. Hendricks
TO declare In advance OF the Republic
can state convention whether he IS
for the gold standard Or for bimetal-
lism and greenbacks. But we want
him for the present to consider the
platform declarations Of the Oregon
Republican party and thel tell US
honestly who is guilty of insincerily
on the silver question:
PLATFORM OF 1890.
That, recognizing Tie fact that the
United States is the greatest silver
producing country in Che world, and
that both gold and SILVER were equally
the money Of the constitution from
the beginning of the republic until
the hostile legislation against silver
which unduly contracted the circulat
ing medium of the country, and rec
ognizing that the great interests Ol
the people demand more money FOL
use in the channels Of trade and com
merce, therefore we declare ourselves
in favor OF the free and aud unlimited
coinage of silver, and denounce any at
tempt to discriminate against silver
as unwise and unjust.
PLATFORMS OF 1892 AND 1894.
"We reafilrm the doctrine of the
Republican party 10 relation to money,
as stated in the national platform OF
1892, particularly as follows, to-wit:
The American people, from trad
ition and interest, favor bimetallism,
and the Republican party demands
the use of both gold and silver as
standard money, with such restrict
ions and under such provisions, to be
determined by legislation as will Sc
cure the maintenance of parity of
values of the two metals, so that the
purchasing and debt-paying power
of the dollar, whether of silver. gold
or paper, shall be at all times equal.
The interests Of the producers of the
country, its farmers and its working
men, demand that every dollar, paper
or coin, issued by the government
shall be as good as any other
We commend the efforts made by ouI
government, hitherto, 10 secure ar
international conference to adopt
su;h measures as will insure parity OF
value between gold and silver
throughout the world, and call upon
tito renew and continue such efforts. y
PLATFORM OF 1896.
The Republican state convention In
the early spring of 1896 voted dowr
the Catch gold standard resolution
and reallirmed the platform of 1892
declaring for both gold and silver al
standard money.
