Wash Your Eyeglasses.

"Spectacles and eyeglasses are a.
much benefited by bath now and
then as people are" says a well known
optician. ut is strange how many
people there are who think that their
glasses only need an occasional wip-
ing. Now, the fact is, glasses re-
quire actual baths as frequently as
does the ordinary person. The pro-
cess Is as simple as you want to make
1t. My plan, however, is to take the
glasses to wash bowl and give them
Q good soaking in warm water. Then
apply soap freely and rub it off by the
use Of n soft tooth or nail brush.
After that give them polish with any
OF the usual tooth powders, and then
clean them with tissue paper, which Is

How Riley Got His Start

James Whteomb Riley's success
began with what he considered a ter.
rible misfortune. He had been hired
to write poems for the Indianapolis
Journal, and was devoiing himself ex-
clusively 10 that work. Before he had
been at 1t very long, however, there
was a change in the editorial depart
ment Of the paper, "Lije' Halford,
afterward private secretary to Presi-
dent Harrison, became managing ed
itor, and at once decided that eXpen-
ses would have to be reduced. After
looking around for a good place 10
begin retrenching he decided that
Riley must go.
1--WE like you, jim, and we like your
poetry" he said, "but it isn't worth
what we are paying you for 1t. OF
course, If you want to contribute
poems for nothing we'll be wiling to
print them"
Having the poems printed would be
very gratifying, but it would be nee
esSary for even poet to eat and
wear things, so Mr.. Riley decided that
he would not enter into any sort OF
an agreement at that time 10 write
for nothing.
lie tells his friends that the day on
which he was discharged from the
staff of the indianapolis Journal was
one OF the darkest of his life. The
future seemed TO hold nothing for
him.
1t happened, however, that a state
political convention was held in Ind.
annapolis at about that time, and
among the nominees was very port
" gentleman who had never made
public speech. The convention called
for him after he had been nominated,
and when he appeared upon the plat
form speech was demanded, He
cleared his throat, stood on one foot
and rnen on the other, and said:
Gentlemen Of the Conventional
thank you for the honor you have
given me. ] can't make a speech, but
! can tell you one thing. The ticket
you've nominated here to-day is
a-goin' 10 win When the frost is Oh
the puD'kn and the corn is in the
shock. "
The uproar which followed indea.
ted that Rileys poem. first published
only a few days before, had been read
by everybody present, and that 1t
had touched a tender spot.
This circumstance more than any.
thing else induced the business man.
ager o. the journal, who was lIlleys
ste sdfast friend, to undertake in part
ne-sbip with the poet to have litiIe
book, 1.-THE Old Swimmin' Hole and
'Deven More Poems" published. It
made an immediate hit. and gave RI
ley national reputation. Major Hal.
ford and Mr.. Riley are now, as they
have always been, good friends. and
1t affords the latter pleasure when
the two happen TO meet In company,
to admit that he got his STAR. in life
by being discharged.-The Chicago
Record.

THERE ARE OTHERS.


The people of Oregon are aroused to
q high pitch of Indignation at the
prospect that the appropriation for the
so-called state fair may not he repealed
by the legislature during the present
session. Storms OF protests are being
heard in all quarters at what is
termed the fragrant Indifference of the
legislators to the interest of the tax
payers. The press of the whole state
is unanimous in con1emning the in
inactivity of the lawmakers in this
matter. Scarcely a man outside Of
Marion county can be found who favors
perpetuation of this fragrant graft upon
the people. That legislature elected
on strict pledge of economy and re-
trenchment in public expenditures
should exhibit such Indifference IN full
filling that pledge is deeply resented,
and threats of calling the various
members strictly to account are being
openly made.-Portland Telegram.
The appropriation for the state fair
is not tt e only one of the many that
are proposed about which the people
of the state are indignant. There are
a number of others that are just as un-
just and uncalled for. l.. aggregate
they amount to hundreds of thousands
of dollars, and we hope that before the
session closes, the better Judgement of
the legislators will prevail. and that
the bills carrying heavy appropriations
f,r useless purposes will go to their
long grave. The members of the
legislature certainly cannot have 80
far forgotten their ante-elecIiun
pled< <es as to vote needless and un.
justified burdens upon the people.

A MORAL REFORM.

The Hill bill, that passed the house,
to abolish serving intoxicating liquors
in private boxes of restaurants, ought
to pass the senate without dissenting
voice. 1t is bill in the interest oi
common morality ano would work a
reform In large cities especially.
More young women are ruined and
initiated in vice in the private boxes
OF restaurants than in any other way.
Let the sale of liquors be absolutely
prohibited except in open public res
taurants and barrooms. Close the
doors to secret vices and remove the
veiled enclosures of dissipation.
This bill does not infringe on the
rights of restaurants to serve their
guests with liquors. But it is aimed
squarely at the door of prostitution
and will accomplish much to save
young women being dragged down the
slippery toboggan of the social evil =

ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

February 18th was the anniversary
Of the birth Of Lincoln, whom many
now regard as the greatest Of Ameri
can patriots, and the day is not far
distant when "Lincoln day" will he as
generally regarded ss Washington
day." for while Washington was the
father of his country, Lincoln will be
recognized as the savior of the nation.
When the nation was threatened
with ACKNOWLEDGMENT by civil war,
circumstances developed great char
acters. and Lincoln was the greatest
of them all. His great debate with
Douglas had brought him into promi-
nence as q man of master mind. With
the advent of the anti-slavery party he
readily became its most logical leader,
and was elected president at the begin
ming of the most trying time in the
history of the United States. He
proved equal to the occasion; he rose
above all other men of his time. He
was a true patriot, a thorough Ameri-
can, and a lover of that liberty vouch-
safed by the declaration of indepen.
dence and thes federal constitution.
None other could have filled the posi-
tion to which he had been called at
that time.
A quarter of century ago the name
Of Lincoln was hated by the ext .Confed-
crates, the men who had rebelled be-
cause they believed their rights were
being encroached upon and honestly |
thought they had supported a just |
cause; but even in the South that Bit
terness has vanished. The ex-Confed- |
crates recognize now that they were |
wrong, and that Lincoln was right, |
therefore they honor the man
more than do some of their North
ern brothers who seek now to trample
upon the great principles of liberty
ard equal rights which the war presi-
dent advocated. Abraham Lincoln
Was truly one of Coos noblemen, and
his name may we'll be idolized by the
people of this united country.

4 WISE LIMIT.


II was wise provision which the
formers of the Oregon constitution put
into that document when they limited
the legislative session to 40 days. Had
there been no limit placed upon the
session, there is no telling what num-
ber or what quality of laws would en-
cucumber our statute books, especially
when the state is afflicted with legis-
lature like the present, that has
such a law making craze. During the
hrs5 five weeks of this session there
were 625 bills introduced, not onein
ten Of which had any merit, but simply
reflected the whim of some legislator
Fortunately the session will close by
Limitation long before the bills can be
considered, and little damage can re-
suit from their having been introduc-
ed, except the expense of printing
them, and the time it has required to
hear them read. But if the session
were extended another 40 days, legis-
lators would tire of introducing bills,
for there is limit to the frivolous
Imagination even for an Oregon legls-
lator, and the members would cease
Introducing and begin passing some
O. their uonsensical measures. AS a
result our statute books would, after a
few, sessions. assume the magnitude
of the Encyclopaedia Bri tanica or
Bancroft's Pacific Coast History; we
would have laws specially regulating
every private act of mans life, and
nobody world haye any knowledge
whatever of what the law is, for none
would have time to wade through the
voluminous codes to inform them
Aelves. It is indeed fortunate pro.
vision that legislatures must cease
some time, and it would not be an
unwise thing to amend the constitu-
tion limiting the sessions to 20 or 30
days. Then Legislators would get
down to work early in the Session
and would confine their bills more to
practicable measures, knowing that
only short time could be given to
their consideration.

TO GHEcKMArE WASHINGTON

Representative Raeder's bill to re-
gulate the removal of sheep from one
county to another, which has passed
the house, is retaliatory measure
against the state of Washington, and
Is intended to at least make stand off
to the law now in force in that state,
by protecting the ranges of Oregon
against the encroachment of Washing
ton sheep. Washington has law re.
quiring that all sheep br ought into the
state for the purpose of grazing or
other wise be quarantined for period
of go days. Oregon having no such
law, the grazing advantages have been
entirely with the Washington sheep
men, who have brought their sheep
over to the Oregon side whenever the
grass got short at home The Reeder
bill is similar in every respect TO the
Washington law, with the exception
that the quarantine period is extended
to 80 days. Oregon sheepmen want to

some mismanagement during the war,
but fails to definitely fix the blame
upon any one, hence the labors it has
been performing since September 18th
last are of little value to the govern
ment. If there was fault anywhere, it
was the duty of the commissioners to
have discovered where it was and to
haye fixed the blame squarely upon
the parties who were negligent of
OF duty. Evidently they found the
blame to rest with the head of the war
department, but since it was their
mission to serene him as much pos
siole, they dealt very carefully with
him, about ali the reference made to
him in the entire report being con-
tained In The following three para.
graphs:
"rhe records of the war department.
which have been laid before US, show
that the secretary of war extended to
all chiefs of bureaus cordial and full
support, anu promptly responded to
every proper demand made upon him
by commanding officers
"No testimony has been presented |
showing intentional neglect of duty
nor any attempt to serve personal
interests. The charges made that the
secretary of war was pecuniarily in
terested in contracts, purchases and
other transactions of the war depart.
ment have been thoroughly examined
and found haseless.
SIN the Judgement of the commits
sion there was lacking in the general
of the war department
during the continuance of the war with
Spain that complete grasp of the situ-
alton which was essential to the high
sst efficiency and discipline oi the
army"
Throueho the report is shown
what was expected-a review of the
recent war, dealing as generously as
was possible with those in high places,
Ind applying the whitewash brush
literally to all dark spots.

ONLY HALF A LOAF.

When the legislature convened the
people of Drain asked that their little
college be made state normal school
and that it begiven the modest sum of
$4,000 q years for support. but they
found the sum more than they could
get, and cut down their demand to
81 500 which the liberal members OF
the house generously donated. This
of course is satisfactory with the Drain
people, as they believe there is truth
In the old saying thai half q loaf a day
is better than nothing.
Now the senate should be as liberal
as the people of Drain and just cut off
that half loaf, for there is neither
justice nor common sense In the state
attempting to support any more nor
NAL schools. The fact is, we have too
many already. In fact, there is no
justice in the state maintaining nor
