IL isn't the goldbug, a whole lot o.
Oregon people worry about now, -it'l
the hoplouse.
Claud Gatch's friends are quietlJ

the Republican party hal entered on
"young mans era"

II II. Hewitt and j. j. Whitney OF
Of Albany, congratulate Judge Boise.
Great Scott, who was Burnett for,
anyhow? The way that vote stacks
up he was strictly for Burnett.
-.
Exchanges: There will certainly be
a session of the legislature, and it is
to be hoped some sensible legislation
will he enacted. One of the first acts
should be a strict registration law,
one that will not be burdensome TO
voters, and at the same time will
prevent repeating and illegal voting.

Although they have endorsed the
present county court, Marion county

We give geld dollars worth of war

The people like Grover Cleveland
style of man who says, 1.-THE people
be id" See how Burnett run.
Well, they must pay the bill.

The Portland East Oregonian has
this:
Mr., Joe Simon will probably be the
next United States senator from Ore
gon. Joe Simon is the Mark Hanna,
the Tom Platt, the Steve Elkins, the
Matt Quay of Oregon.
But how about the fact that Hanna
was back of Mitchell and not of
Simon.
Albany Democrat Salem Jour-
nal says that city has the talent for
celebrating the Fourth Of July in the
proper manner, Certainly. Any old
thing of town has the talent for cele-
brating the 4th. All that is necessary
is plenty of lung power and fire crack
ers, Talent has nothing to do with
celebrating the 4th Of July. Money
and a crowd is what does the business.
Come to Albany and hear the eagle
scream.
THE CAPITAL JOURNAL is amused
that DR.. Kuykendall, senator-elect
from Lane, hopes in the hereafter to
walk golden streets, play golden
harp, etc. Only half Of this speech
is reported. The other half was that
he was not going to abuse ST. Peter
because he would not furnish a silver
pavement and silver harp. The doc
tor is pledged to preserve the "exist-
ing gold standard" and so is st.
Peter.-Eugene Register.

The Catholic Sentinel last week
contained a beautiful tribute to the
memory Of noble woman who gave
tifty-four years of her life to human
ity. Mother Mary joseph was one
of the fifteen Irish sisters, "who
answered the cry for help that came
from the Crlmea" in 1854, and whose
work in the hospitals and on the
fields has become matter of history.
But it is her labor in the field of liter
ature that gives her place here. For
Mother Mary Joseph was writer of
rare ability, and it is deeply to be
regretted that her book detailing the
experiences of the Sisters Of Mercy at
at Crimea, remains unfinished,
s*&
"Love makes obedience lighter than
liberty"
"No affection save friendship, has
any sure eternity in it,"
Oregon has a sweet singer in the
person Of Mrs. l.. Nj. Miller, editress
of the "Pacific Empire" Her "Songs
of the Sea" merit more than a news
paper circulation. Here is the latest,
a Jewel in form and luster:
Her eyes are like the sea,
Where the warm sunlight falls
Upon its purple deeps
A tender mystery.
Where unnamed passion sleeps
And heeds not any call
From Loves fond lips at all.
Her eyes are like the sea
Beneath cloudless skies
On s1me dear day In June,
A wordless harmony
Where truth is set In tune
And sweet peace mirrored lies
