!. GAMBLING FOR OFFICES.
Religious People OF London Scandal
IS lied by a. Recent Occurrence p:
49, in Politics.

Some of the ultra religious. people
here are expressing astonishment that
tie in the vote for member of the
borough council was decided the other
day BY tossing penny, says a London
paper. They insist that. the element Of
chance ought to have been eliminated
from English politics long ago. AS a
matter of fact, there is still a corner
left in the British constitution for King
Chance to build his throne in. and it is
not many years since the house of com
mons deliberately sanctioned the APP
peal to chance in certain emergencies.
When city councils were being estab-
lished in Scotland the question arose in
parliament as to the choice+of chair
man Of the joint committee in case of
an equality Of votes, and it was pro-
posed that the final decision in that
case be taken by lot. Serious members
objected to such frivolous method of
deciding an import ant matter, but the
mover of the resolution reminded the
house#of the apostolic precedent, and

was good enough for the election of
successor to Judas Iscariot was good

PIONEERS TO BE HoNoRED.
sEarly Settlers OF Oregon Are soon
to Have an Abrasive
8 ss1 Monument.

It has been decided by the pioneer
monument committee Of the Society
of Oregon Native Sons, with the con-
#ceurrenee of the Oregon II ative Daugh-
tiers ter to hold in Portland next year a
grand celebration to last a week or
ten days. While the plans are not
fully matured, the consensus Of opin-
ion among business men, as expressed
by many Of them, is that It will be
more satisfactory to have it take
the place of the annual exposition;
that we should make it "a state at
fair--an exhibition Of the wonderful
Improvements in manufacturing ap-
pliances and. machinery in the nearly
threescore years of our governmental
existence and offer every encourag e-
ment to the people to bring in the his
torical relics they have laid away, says
the Portland Oregonian.
Besides the attractiveness of such
a feature it will give cur historical
society SC an opportunity to augment its
already valuable collection. The Ma
tive Sons and Native Daug hters are
historical societies, their common OBJ
Ject being to see that the history of
the early days: Of the land of. ssinter-
!; minable woods" is duly recorded. The
purpose of this celebration is to raise
money to build a monument to the
pioneers. 1t is proposed to erect in
Portland lEI1l. memorial building on one
OF the Park row blocks which can be
used as a museum for pioneer relics,
meeting place for the pioneers, In
dian war veterans and the Oregon

for the archives of the latter.
