All the bad men are not inside
the prison walls. .
Men and watches are both
judged by their works-both

If some men could lose their
regulations, they would be all
right.
A man can never tell what he
would do in pinch until the po-
lice pinch him.

sprung the trap.
A man may be as honest as the
day is long, and then do lot of
mischief at night.
Aslady named Crimes will soon
appear on the lecture platform.
She won't commit herself.
Many a good man has "gone
wrong" because there was no
guide board to direct him on the
right road.
"We honor the man who acts
out his honest convictions" says
an exchange. That's me. | am
by no means sure the conviction

RUNNING A NEWSPAPER.

/ Of course anybody can run a
newspaper says Peck's Sun. As
no particular amount of brain is
required. All you have to do is
to sit around on dry goods box
when the weather is line and talk
politics with any other mutton
head who is foolish enough to
spend his time in the same way,
and when the weather is too rech-
ere, as it were, for that sort of
work, you occupy an upholstered
chair on the tropical side of a
coal fire and swap lies with the
county judge and rake in the
collateral for advertising and
subscriptions. The newspaper
mans life is Dutch picnic, a
three ring circus with four clowns
and a trick mule all for one price
of admission, all the year round,
and no postponement on account
of bad weather. Oh, the editors
life is a rosy one; he rides free
on the railroads, and takes cab
bage subscriptions; he gets COM
plimentary passes to all the the
aters, and gives S. worth of ad-
vertising for 5O-cent ticket to a
10-cent show; he tries to get up
a nine column pager in a three
column town, and sometimes he
tries tc pay his bills, but this
latter he does not always succeed
in doing. Newspaper men have
been known to pay their bills,
but the cases are about as seldom
as the Goth Of February. The
only instance Of the kind l know
of was a fellow who used to run
a newspaper up in Wisconsin,
but he don't do it any more
he's in the penitentiary. Speak
ing of the penitentiaries reminds
me that this same fellow after
ward started a paper in the
prison honored by his presence
conclusive evidence that the only
way to reform a printer is to kill
him.
One of the most pleasing expe-
riences of an editors life is the
fact that everybody else knows so
much better how to run the news
paper than he does himself.
True, no two people have the
same idea, but if he wishes to
succeed he must adopt them all.
Were to lay down a course of
training for the young man who
desires to 60 down to his doom
by the dark and gruesome path
of journalism | should suggest
that some twenty or twenty five
years be spent in some first class
circus acquiring the art of riding
not less than six separate, un-
bridled bareback horses at one
and the same time. Then would
recommend thirty or forty years
in a roller rink to get a good
healthy collous upon the vulner-
able parts Of his anatomy, and to
cultivate the necessary stock of
agility which h. will need in
jumping from one side OF the
political fence to the other, and
which is so useful in lodging
creditors. 0
It has been asserted that print
ing is not a healthy business, and
that one Of its chief ailments is
lead poisoning. ! can testify to
this from personal knowledge. A
friend OF mine once started a pa
per out in Arizona some years
ag. and he had not been raining
six m onths before he died from
lead poisoning. 1t was 34-cali-
bre Smith & Wesson in the hands
of q wild-eyed miner which caus-
ed the attack. II was fatal and
he has been dead ever since.

William Rufus King

The Union of Bimetallists called
Silver Democrats, Silver Republicans
and Populists, in Oregon. haYe Sc
lected a candidate for governor in the
person of William Rufus King, who
represents true Democratic principles.
Mr.. King is native Of Oregon, 80
years old, a se'f-made man, success
full lawyer, leader in the legislature
Of Oregon, and true believer in BIZ
metallism at the ratio Of l6 to by
the United States acting independ-
emily of all other countries. He was
raised a Democrat, and remained
loyal to the party until Mr.. Cleveland
publicly joined the goldite
Republicans to fasten upon this
country the English gold standard.
He then became Populist because he
was still Democrat and not gold
monopolist. He has a clean, indie
pendent and consistent record, and is
the material upon which country
must depend for deliverance from the
shackles of gold-sJandard contraction.
He is typical representative OF the
young men of the west, and his unani-
nous selection by all the silver forces
of Oregon shows the drift Of public
sentiment in the far West, The peo-
pie are for him but plutOcracy is
against him. The battle for the peo-
pie is being made without money,
patronage or official power.
The battle for the single gold
standard, monopoly, aristocracy and
greed, is:waged!fo patronage, both state
and national, and sustained by an un-
limited ,corruption fund to thwart
the will of the people; in other words,
the contest in Oregon is between
the people who produce wealth
and the parasites who have
grown rich and powerful by absorbing
what the masses produce. We have
great faith 10 the redemption Of Ore
gon from goldbug rule under the Lead
eTship Of William Rufus King.-Silver

scheme of ROBBERY.
He did not seem to have much SYM

for the county Offices. He said: "If
you want prosperity, peace and reform
vote the Republican ticket as far as
the state and congressional tickets
are concerned, "but noticing the
frowns of Chairman Hendricks

caurse the whole ticket is the

also that the Union candidates were
set Of anarchists and forcibly illus
trated shis Ipoint. But those who
know Flagg will be charitable enough
to construe his last remark as joke,
In many respects this was an inter-
esting meeting and the truth sown
fell in genial soil and will bear fruit
in due time. A few of the Union
candidates showed some signs Of lrri-
tation at what they considered unfair
means employed to impose upon the
credulity of the people. But they had
to bide their time.

Miss Kittie Harbord, one Of Salem's
t5nly patriotic daughters, called at
the JOURNAL Office this morning and
suggested that the volunteers from
the states east Of US, be given suit
able reception as they pass through
our city some time Friday afternoon
and Saturday morn ing. Miss Har'
bOrd does not believe in bestowing all
Of ones patriotism and.acts Uf kind
ness upon the local companies but
rather to show outside troops that we
have an individual interest in theiI
welfare and wish for them a safe
journey and speedy return to home
and relatives.
The suggestion made by this young
lady met with hearty approval among
the young ladies of the community
and as a result many substantial
luncheon and fragrant bouquet OF
flowers, such as only can be grown ir
Oregon, will be in evidence at the
depot tomorrow.
Agent w. w. Skinner has kindly
consented TO allow the young ladies
to deposit in his care lunches ano
flowers until the arrival Of the train
IL could not be learned today at what
hour the train will arrive. Two sec
tlons will most likely pass through
Salem in advance Of the regular
southbound overland, presumably be-
tween and 5 p. m. The third Sec
tion carrying the remainder of the
troops will pass through the city some
time Saturday forenoon.
Anyone desiring to prepare lunch
or bouquet is requested to leave the
same with Agent Skinner, and all will
be distributed among the boys on the
train.
The men that will constitute the
battalion that viii pass through this
city tomorrow come from section OF
the country where flowers do not grow
very extensively and bouquets will
prove very acceptable. Let Salem
people give the Montana and North
