The Christmas Ball.

Corvallis has completely dis
credited public balls. The Christ
mas masquerade emphasized this
truth. While, through the kind
ness of the band boys, E. Z. Will
son and the two papers, the com.
mittee is able to announce there
ceipts equal to the expenditures,
the ball was a distinct failure.
An unforeseen and unpreventa.
BILE misfortune interfered with the
concert program and there was
not much to animate those who
took part. The band numbers.
however, were very good. Mr.
Mason's solo received merited ap.
plause and Mr.. Wheeler's catchy
piano solo was good. <

A very valuable dog, the prop
erty of Dick Kiger, met death in
an unusual manner on last Mon
day morning. The death of this
dog is conclusive of the fact that
a county official is not safe per-
son to handle a gun. Recorder
Gellatly went hunting laat Mon
day morning and reached the Ki
ger place four miles north of Cor
Wallis and was accorded the privi-
iege of shooting ducks on that
place, which, however, did not
include the right to kill a blooded
dog with record 1000 miles long.
The recorder strnck a slough and
waited patiently for duck, which
in due time came and alighted in
the water within shooting distance.
Both barrels were cooked for the
work of death on the lone duck.
when the dog put IN an appear
ance at his side and started for
the duck. Expecting to stop the
dog, the recorder reached his gun
out, placing the muzzle on the
dogs head and death followed.

States. The complete success that has
attended the operation Of the postal
savings bank System in that country
Is the strongest evidence that could be
offered in opposition 10 those who cx-
press fear that such system could
not be made TO work. The sentiment
OF our neighbors TO the north Is so
unanimous IN favor OF postal savings
banks that the existence OF the insti-
tuition is no more called In question
than that OF the postoffice department
itself. workingmen without excep-
ton believe in the postofiice savings
bank, whether they are fortunate
enough 10 have accounts with Il or
not. Bankers OF Canada say the
bankers of the United States should
give approval to the agitation for es-
tablishing postA savings banks IN this
country. though they suggest at the
same time that the maximum limit OF
deposits which depositors may have
standing to their credit should be
somewhat less than 1t is in Canada.
Wherever postal savings banks have
been established they have been OF
great benefit. The people OF the
United States should demand OF con.
gress legislation establishing the sys-
tenn for this country. Why should
the United States continue to lag so
far behind other enlightened nations
in promoting the welfare OF its people
in tAis important respect2

Canada has bad the postal savings
banks since 1865. The system has
worked so well that there is praeti-
cAlly no one in the dominion who
would ask TO have It abolished. The
wonder among canadians is that the
United States should have delayed so
long for the establishment Of 4 similar
institution for the good Of its people.
But the truth Is that the United States,
though heralded as pre-eminentlY the
government Of the people, is more
back ward in caring for the interests Of
its people, in many respects, than are
the governments Of other leading ma
tions Of the earth. Great Britain,

a Bomb Loaded with Men.

A new bomb has been invented that
is an extremely curious affair.
It is called a pioneer bomb and is
made to be fired from cannon like an
ordinary cannon ball. The curious part
Of it is that instead of carrying lead
and explosives it is to have men inside.
The idea of the invention, explains
The Great Round World, is to fire SOL
diers into the enemy camp. The bomb
opens the moment it touches the ground,
the men spring out and begin to fight
theRnemies within reach.
A shower of these bombs would very
seriously Inconvenience an enemy, it is
70 be supposed, for they would not
quite know what to make Of such as
founding cannon balls
The bomb is SO arranged that there is
no sudden jar or shock to the men in
side. 1t is covered with number of
rubber tubes filed with air, like the
bicycle tires These rubbers prevent the
men from any injury which might be
caused by reaching the ground SO sud
denly. The bomb bounds along like a
rubber ball once or twice, and the SOL
diers are said to be quite comfortable
inside. Chicago Record.

A man who has been defeated for re-
election is not in fit frame of mind to
legislate for his people. There is a sting
| in defeat that tends to engender the
! feeling of resentment which often finds
! expression in the vote of such members
| against wholesome legislation. That
same feeling often produces such want
Of interest in proceedings as to cause
| the member to be absent nearly all the
second session.
Congressman are not usually men Of
means. Their congressional career has
resulted in the destruction of their
clientage or business. To a defeated
member who has relied upon his salary
for support the future looks dark and
gloomy. 1t is then some are open to
propositions which they would never
think Of entertaining if they were to go
before the people for reelection. 1t is
then that the attorneyship of some cor
poration is often rendered and vote is
! afterward found in the record in favor
of legislation of a general or special
character favoring the corporation. If
an affirmative vote cannot be had, it is
often just as important that the member
should be absent. II there is ever time
in the history of the man when he will
directly or indirectly accept bribe, it
is then. There is less chance of detec-
tion. He is no longer political factor.
His political enemies no longer watch
his course. The opposition newspapers
no longer criticise his conduct t-"the
secret is his own and it is safe"
There are many upright men in con-
gress who would not be Influenced by
defeat. But in as large body as the
house of representatives there must al
ways be some who would yield to temp
tation. 1t is a fact that nearly all, if
not all, of the legislation that is claimed
to have been passed by corrupt influences
was enacted during these second regular
