Always rIay cards for Money.

England Is termed Puritanical." said
New Yorker who has been in London a
good deal 10 the New York Sun. "but
English people who consider themselves
very proper DO things sometimes which
would shock people of a similar sort in
this country. For instance, even clerCy-
men often play cards for money, and wo-
men do so as a matter OF COURSE / never
played game at an English house at
which there was not a stake.
The stake was small IL women were
among the players, and possibly only a
lew snillings changed hands, but Il never
seemed TO occur 20 any English people
! ever net TO play for fun The people
were Of the middle class, which Is anv-
thing but fast.
Fancy an American clergyman playing
cards for money! lie would he consid.
cred a bad lot by many II he PLAYED cards
even for fun. And certainly a Young wo-
man who arose from a card table with a
her possession would be considered fast
to say the least"

one reason why the revenues of the go4-
eminent are not equal to it's expenditures
is that an enormous amount paid out In
pensions. President Cleveland has done all
he could to keep the amount needed for
pensions from increasing by vetoing PEN
sion bills for which there was no justifca-
ton in law or reason. In about every in
stance. however, his veto has been over
ridden by congress.
few days ago he vetoed two bills
which gave pensions to widows, on the
ground that they lost their right to PEN
sions when they remarked, and that there
was no law by which, having become wild
ows again. they could get pensions. His
vetoes in these cases were promptly over
ruled.
1t is not improbable that the next con-
gress will greatly increase the pension
list. There are many pension bills pend
ing, and the ~epublicans will not hesitate
to strengthen their party by means of
pension raids on che treasury. Maj. Nc
IIinley is very favorable to pension legis-
lation. and will no doubt promptly sign
every pension bill sent to him.
When Garfield was a member of the
House he expressed the opinion that the
annual pension burden would never ex-
coed $4,000 O0O. 1t is now about $4,000. =
600. and it may approach 500, 600 if the
republican party should think the grant
ing Of additional pensions would increase
their chances for retaining control of the
goXornmcnt.

Duty on I1gypfian Cotton

Tho Macon Telegraph questions the cor
rectness of the Statement that mills in
this country are changing their machin-
cry with the view of using sea island cot
ton instead of Egyptian cotton. our au-
thority for the statement is a gentleman
who knows as much about sea island cot
ton as any other man in this state. and
who handles a very large part of the sea
island crop. lie is as anxious as any sea
island cotton planter can possibly be to
do anything that would advance the in
terests of the sea island cotton planters.
We shall not oppose a duty on Egyptian
cotton. The suggestions we threw out
were for the consideration of the sea is
land cotton growers. They are about to
take an important step and we think
they should be reasonably certain that it
is a step that promises to benefit them
We do not want them to make a mistake
hence we presented the arguments which
were advanced to show that a duty on
Egyptian cotton would not bring about
an advance in the price of sea island cot
ton. These arguments may not be con-
elusive. We do not say they are. They
are, however. worthy of thoughtful con-
sideration. The sea island cotton planters
want to get better price for their cotton,
and we want to help them get it. The
question is. will a duty on Egyptian cot
ton increase the price of sea island cotton?
Perhaps The only way to settle that ques-
ton satisfactorily, is to put a duty on
Egyptian cotton.

Drainage Of Roads Considered.

EDiToR JoURNAL:-A good deal has
been said lately about the improve
ment of our roads and various plan
haYe been suggested for that end, but
most Of them seem to me to be too ex-
pensive for the prese at condition Of
the country. One thing seems to be
overlooked to a great extent and
which is the first requisite for a good
road, and that is thorough drainage.
The average road supervisor thinks he
has done his whole duty when he has
scraped up a pile Of dirt in the middle
OF the road and left pond of water on
either side of IL, or when he has
plowed a six inch ditch on either side
TO carry the water TO the low part of
the road. Road supervisors ought to
be authorized to dig bitches through
adjoining land where it is necessary
TO afford proper drainage for the road,
aud where necessary an engineer
should be employed to survey these
bitches 50 that they would be properly
placed TO do the most good. l know
Of roads that are impossible just now
which could be made quite good by
digging a few hundred yards Of a
ditch. If the roads were properly
drained they would be fairly passable
all winter for light traffic especially If
broad tired wagons were used. After
being thoroughly drained, then other
improvements could be made as the
needs of the country required. 1t
would not only make the roads better
but il would be lasting benefit to the
adjoining land. think II road super
yisors were appointed for several years
subject TO removal for cause, il would
be better, A supervisor does what he
thinks will do while his time lasts, the
next one comes along aud does the
same or perhaps he undoes what his
predecessor has done.
IL would be we'll IL our Legislators
would consider this matter, and not
try 60 pass any expensive road im-
proyement law, which think would
be futile.

THEY DEMAND RECOGNITION.

There were four Democrats, four
teen Populists and three Union BIZ
metallists elected to the lower house.
They will demand recognition Of any
man who is speaker, both on the com
mittees aud on the floor OF the house
when they come TO present reform
measures. II they do not get such
recognition their bills will be pigeon
holed, or unfayorably reported or
they will be ruled against in all par
llamentsry matters. They are a
strong minority, and a partisan
speaker enforcing the czarlike rulings
OF Tom Reed would leave them in
no position 70 represent their party or
serve their constituents. This mi
norlty are worthy OF consideration.
The time is past when man can be
sneered down in parliamentary body
simply because he is Democrat, a
Popullst or a Silverite. Democrats
and Populists were ruthlessly turned
down in the senate organization. The
same course in the house would leave
nearly one-half the people OF Oregon
without representation in the organi'
zatlon. The minority will never con-
sent TO such an organization. They
should not.
