these two prominent Republicans is
being carried around by a regulation
heeler Of the party 'push." Now IL Is
not probable that IL is done without
the knowledge OF Boss Bingham. He
Is not that kind OF politician.
The candidacy OF the two
Official heads Of the Republican
party is in exceedingly bad taste, 1t
looks as though every Republican was
going TO be appealed to from par
tisan standpoint 70 support his party
committeeman. To Mr.. Davis alone
there is no serious objection, II he
were put up with some dl>interested
man from the other end Of the dis
trict or the east side which has never
been given a director. But to elect
both directors from one corner Of the
district, and ignore all the rest Of the
district would be manifestly unjust.
The prostitution OF this school dis
trict for political purposes is an out
rage. If Mr. Davis is nominated
there should be put up representa-
tive OF the opposition TO the Republic
cans But this IS distasteful political
and should not be under
taken.
We repeat, the people have "a right
TO nominate ana elect Unelr school dl-
rectors. The push have no right To
forestall actiJn by sending a heeler
around with a petition. Voters who
have the true interests of the district
at heart will refuse TO sign such a
petition. 1t is unjust, unpatriotic
and unfair 10 the people, TO the Re
publican party AMI TO the schools. !
Disinterested partisan candidates
should be nominated as nearly as pos |
sible directly from the people. We |
cannot but feel that the way this |
matter has come up Messrs. Bingham |
and DAVIS are not putting themselves
before the people in the right light as
If they are not doing |
his themselves they ought not to al |
NV their friends to do it for them.
This will make it, impossible for some |
% support them who might otherwise
10 so. They precipitate political
light in school AFFAIRS that is unwise
Ind unnecessary.

IN MARION COUNTY.

Distinct progress for perfect union
OF the SILVER and Reform forces is
making IN Marion county. AS the
feeling for unity grows, the feeling In
favor Of the nomination seeking the
candidate among the Reform forces
also grows. The prospect Is not only
good for unity Of forces but very ia
vorable for the success Of strong
ticket The Peoples parry In Marion
county has called It's primaries fOl
Saturday March II, and its county
convention for Saturday March 10
The Silver Republicans and Demo-
Gratis will probably call their cOnveu-
tiUn and primaries on the same date
The three elements of voters will
probably work To a common purpose
IN many precincts, meeting In UnlOi
primary aud choosing delegates TO
the three separate conventions, who
favor perfect unity OF principle ami
harmony Of action. We look for the
three county conventions TO tlTst adopt
Il common platform for free and un.
limited coinage OF gold and silver,
and national treasury notes, the refer,
endum and economy In codnty and
state affairs. After that Is agreed
upon the best and strongest ticket
will be chosen from among the
three orgs nIzatlons and ratified by
all Of them. We gather from CONVEX
sation with leading men In all three
organizations that this In general
way is the thought and purpose that
will materlf lize In one ticket OF the
Reform forces in Marion county.
There Is no secret about 1T, 1t is "a
Peoples movement deyoid OF bossism
or machinery.

THE COMING CONVENTIONS.

The Gold Republicans have called a
state convention at Astoria, April IA.
The Popullsts, Democrats and SILVER
Republicans have each called state
conventions March %, at Portland
The Uniun party as an organization
was virtually dissolved when the con.
ference called by Mr.. Cooper at Port
land voted TO favor Union on platform
and tickets but to maintain the three
separate party organizations. That
matter was decided, that the three
silver and Reform parties shall remain
as separate parties, but shall seek to
put up one ticket on platform en-
bodying the essential principles of the
Peoples party, and pledge all candi-
dates To that platform. Now this is
all plain and virtually agreed upon,
except that the Peoples party sub
init the matter OF Union To their
rank and iile at the primaries. j. @.
Cooper is agitating a Union conven-
tion March 22,as akind Of preliminary
conference.
We can see no objection
TO such conference but see
no necessity for 1t. We believe Col.
Cooper Is sincere and patriotic re-
former, but believe that whatever Is
done for union ticket and platform
will have 10 be done by the three
conventions and the patriotic un.
selfish delegates composing them.
Col. Cooper has done splendid work
In developing a sentiment for union
OF forces. He has given his time and
had no financial aid TO speak Of But
we must remember that the three
party organizations are In existence
and will be maintained and upon them
devolYes the responsible ty OF union.

The Mouse's Blanket.

One day Willie's mamma missed a
banknote which she was certain she
had put in particular place. Think
ing that Willie might have taken it
for plaything, not knowing its value,
she asked him if he had seen it. But
Willie knew nothing about it, neither
did the nurse nor anybody in the
house.
By and by papa came home. He
pointed to mouse hole in the nursery
floor, and said the mice must have
stolen it. A carpenter came and took
up the floor, and, sure enough, there
was nest of little mice all cuddled
down on the bank note, which Mother
Mouse had spread out as lining for
the nest. Other pieces of paper were
found, all torn and nibbled, but this,
being nice and soft, had been saved
for blanket by the wise old mother.

Remarkable Rivers.

From the beginning the Nile was an
exceptional river. Its sources were
unknown. There were those who
thought that the Nile flowed down
from heaven that it welled up from
streams that disappeared under the
earth on another continent, or, at the
very least, that it's springs were mac
cessible to man.
There was no such mystery about
the Enphrates. From the remotest
times it's sources seem to have been
known by hearsay, if not by observa-
ton, to the dwellers on the coast
The Nile was beneticent even in its
floods. The people learned TO let its
waters flow over their lands at the
time of the inundation, and where
they raised dikes and sunk canals and
basins it was to let in the water, not
to keep it out The Euphrates also
had its floods, but these were destruc-
tive. They scared the soft earth with
ravines and swept the fertile soil on
ward to build new lands along the
edge of the Persian Gulf. The peo-
pie anticipated the overflow 18th dread,
and their most absorbing task was to
restrain the river within bounds. They
became more intimate with the earth
than their Egyptian contemporaries.
They learned how to mould the clay
and to make their houses and the
houses of their kings and their gods
out of the material under their feet
The Egyptians learned something
about brick manufacture, but they had
no need to depend wholly upon that
sort of building material. 1t was easy
for them to obtain stone, as their huge
oiles attest. t.-Philadelphia Press.

Soldier Joe,

Tommy leaned on his snow-shovel,
looking very much discouraged. Only
yesterday he had cleaned off the walk,
and now here it was quite blocked up
again. Too bad! He was sure he
never could shovel away all that snow.
Then he heard noise in the next
yard, and looked over the fence to see
what was going on. First he saw
shower of snow flying up in the air,
and then Joe's shovel and his small
blue mittens, and last of all little Joe
himself, working away as if he went
by steam. He had shoveled long,
clear path, shut in on each side by
two high, white, clean walls.
so Joe! Amt you tired?" called
Tommy.
"No!" said Joe, stoutly. "Tm a
soldier now!"
''You see," he went on, 81 used to
get tired, till sometimes L most hated
my shovel. But mamma told me that
the snow was a great army, all dressed
in white uniforms, that came and took
our town in the night. They block
up all our streets and walks, and try
to keep us shut up in our houses.
''But there is another army OF men
and boys that go out and drive 'em
off with shovels, no matter how fast
they come. And I'm in that army. If
1 was the only one that had to fight
the snow, it would be sort of lone
some; but there is such lots of us
that it's just fun"
Tommy thought minute, and con-
cluded Joe was right. So he joined
the army, too; and very soon his walk
was cleared. = Youths Companion.

The noted labor statistician began
life as a country schoolmaster in New
Hampshire, his native State, and went
from pedagogy into law. Dropping
his commentaries for his musket he
went to the war, and, after fighting to
the end of the strife, he resumed his
law work and was admitted to the bar.
In 1871 and 1872 he was New
Hampshire Legislator, and was soon
thereafter placed in charge of the State
Labor Bureau, to take which position
he gave up a practice of $4,000 a
year. In 1880 he supervised the ma
tional census in Massachusetts,, and
his work attracted much attention for
its thoroughness. In 1885 he was
made the first Labor Commissioner of
the United States. His published
works make very considerable library

Paper Match Sticks.

1t is predicted that paper is the
coming material for matches, says
Planets and People. The prospect of
the wooden-match industry being ap-
preciably affected by new process
for manufacturing matches of paper
is held to be extremely probable, partic-
ularly as the best wood for this pur-
pose is constantly growing scarcer and
more costly. The new matches are
considerably ch 'aa,er than the wooden
product, and much less, which
counts for muS!Q pexportation.
The sticksau!snamatches consist of
paper rolled ..ieer on the bias. The
paper is ra'sI 'no1pg and porous, and
when immer,Nsonp1 solution of wax
sticks well tS sseu!aand burns with a
bright, smol .laAodl id odorless fame.
Strips one-h lin width are first
drawn through .a4e combustible mass
and then turned by machinery into
long, thin tubes, pieces of the ordi-
nary length of wood or wax matches
being cut off automatically by the
machine. When the sticks are cut
size they are dipped into PHOSPHORUS,
also by machinery, and the dried
head easily ignites by friction on any

How a Porcupine Fights a Snake.

"Several years ago l was an in
terested spectator at combat between
hedgehog and huge blacksnake, :"
said W. ID. Ingraham, of Memphis.
Il came upon the scene just as the
hedgehog began the attack upon the
snake, which was lying stretched out
on the road asleep. The hog advanced
cautiously upon the reptile and seized
its tail in its mouth, giving it sharp
bite. Then he quickly withdrew q
few feet, and, rolling himself into a
compact, spiny ball, awaited develop
ments. The snake, upon being thus
rudely awakened, turned in fury upon
it's antagonist, striking the hog again
and again with its fangs. The willy
hedgehog, securely intrenched within
it's spiny armor remained perfectly
motionless, all the while, allowing the
snake to keep up the attack. At every
stroke the jaws Of the SNAKE would
become filled with the spines, until,
at last, exhausted and bleeding from
dozens of wounds caused by the needle
like spines of the hog, the snake gave
up the battle. This was evidently
what the hedgehog was waiting for, as
he Immediately proceeded to roll over
the snake again and again until he
had completely disembowelled his VIC
