A Century Behind the Times

Aroused by his discovery Of the
quality Of Chicago streets, Mr.. Patul'
10 addressed the recent good roads
convention in Chicago as follows:
"What surprises me is that, while
the United States is undergoing a
wonderful development and is taking
the steel and iron business away from
England ana Germany, where it has
been specialized for years, you are only
just now thinking If you will be able
to emerge from the semi-barbarism Of
poor roads. In your country and in
mine they are no better than they
were a century ago. am satisfied
that If one-half or one-third of the sub
ventions given to railroads had been
spent on rural highways the farmer
and the business man would be better
Off than they are to-day.
81 believe that it is to the rural hlgn-
ways of the country that you must
look to get away from the extortions
of railroads. Improved vehicles, steam
and electric, which before long will
traverse all our highways, will enable
you to compete with the railroads ana
where the rates are too high bring
them to terms by carrying your own
produce to market"

Germany apparently has not that
success with her African colonies that
was expected by the friends Of a col.
onial policy. West Africa is a barren
country which can only be prosperous
by irrigation East Africa, though
rich, is suffering under a mismanage-
ment which has driven all trade to
British Zanzibar. In both east and
west the natives are revolving without
the Germans being able to suppress
the disturbances or to establish per-
manently their authority. Crueltics
such as never were permitted against
the Indians in the early days Of Ameri-
can history are the order Of the day.
or late the conditions, especially I'm
West Africa, seem to have taken n
very serious turn. Attempts were made
to enlist British subjects from the
neighboring colonies for the German
colonial guard, but the Britons do not
seem to be willing to do Germany's
bloOdwork. As a result a considerable
number Of troops will be sent from
the fatheEland to the revolving colon.

Horse with Taste for DaInties.

One Of the Erie ferryboats leaving
Jersey City about a. m, when pas
senger traffic is heaviest, may usually
be seen gray express horse who has
way of his own Of securing dainties.
AS the ferryboat approaches her slip
and the crowd swarms in the wagon
way he begins his antics. Getting
close to a man in front of him he ad-
ministers with his nose a push be-
tween the shoulders which sends the
victim with a rush against his fellow
passengers. Then his horseship
swings from side to side till from
someone who knows his weakness a
lump of sugar or an apple is forth
coming. When that has disappeared
down his capacious throat the horse is
on his best behavior.-New York Sun.

The most difficult features to imi-
tate in Uncle Sans bank notes,
whether national or of the greenback
variety, is the water mark. The coun-
terfeiter effects this by placing the
note under a heavy die, The SIM
plest, and possibly the only way to as
certain If the mark is genuine, is by
dampening the same with a sponge.
If genuine the water-mark viii stand

An interesting relic of the earl OF
Beaconsield came under the auction

of Hughenden, Bucks, England the

An obliglng Bishop.


So kind and obliglng is the Bishop
of Norwich, England, that host Of
stories are told about how he has got
himself into trouble by his willingness
to help others. One day he was to holtl
confirmation in a small town and,
arriving some time before the hour
for service, took a stroll. His steps
led him to the outskirts Of the town
and, passing a picturesque little cot
tagc lie stopped to admire it. A pretty
little garden separated the cottage
from the road, finished off with a neat
hedge and green gate.
"Oh, please, sir,' said a voice from
the other side Of the hedge, would
you open the gate for me-"
This the Bishop at once did, Then,
to his surprise, instead Of the tiny
child he had expected, there stepped
forth girl big enough to have opened
the gate herself.
"And why, my DEAR said DR.. Sheep
shanks, "could you not open the gate
for yourselfF'
Please sir, because the paints
wet" said the girl
A glance at his hand convinced the
Bishop of the absolute truth Of her
statement.
Another story, which the Bishop de-
MES, yet which is told of him, relates
that a small girl having tried vainly
to reach n knocker on a door, asked
the Bishop to rap 1t for her. Then she
advised him to run away, as she in.

Justin Mccarthy and some friends

was one of the company said it was a
pity for the sake of his personal ap-
2earance that he had such very large

WHAT'S LOVE ?

Pray tell me what is Love?
A thing
Of which the birds
And poets sing?
A melody
Intangible,
But wondrous sweet
And beautifully
Or is it some rare
Prize
That money buys?
Or is it something vague, &
A hint
Which finds development
. In print?
Or is it sacrifice
And shame
Endured
In that dear name?
Or is it that plain
Sentiment
Which pays the bills
For clothing, food and rent?
Or it is heart and soul and mind
Blind
To the world; clear-eyed and true
To itself; ready to do
And to suffer; willing to give
Or to take;
TO live
Or to die for its own sake?
Or is it pain and longing,
Eyes wet
With tears
That never can forgetg
Or is it.
Pray tell me what is love?

Annunl rroauetIon of Rubber.

II has been estimated that the ap-

annually is $500 tons. OF this
amount q 900 tons are taken by the
United States and Canada; 2i,O0O by
the United Kingdom, and 1880 by the

Yes, August Flower still has the

civilized world. Your mother and
grandmothers never thought OF
using anything else for indigestion
or biliousress. Doctors were scarce
and they seldom heard Of appen-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc. They used August
Flower to cleanse ous the system
and stop fermentation of undi-
gestsd food, regulate The action Of
the liver, stimulate the nervous and

that is all they took when feeling

NEXT COUNTY CONVENTION.


1t is yet number of months
until the county convention
meets, but it is none too early 10
speak Of some of the work it
must Go. Of this, not the least i'm
portant- by any means is the Sc
lection of candidates for the legis-
lsture-a senator and afepresenta-
tive. Since it is the first instance
since Lincoln county was erected
that Benton county has been per,
mitted to have the entire voice as
to who shall serve her in tlielegls-
lature, increased interest will at
tach, not only to the pcrsonnel OF
the convention, bar also to the
results of its labcrs. 1t IS tt be
hoped that an unusually able,
earnest and decidedly republican
body of men will be assembled,
and that its action shall be so ac-
ceptable to the body Of repuoli-
cans throughout the county that
the succeeding election will be
merely fornality.
Of its nominations especial care
must be given to the selection of
men whose fitness and qualifca-
tions shall appeal not only to the
support of republicans, but also
to that of good citizens, regard
less of party.
Particular attention should be
given the selection of candidates
for the legislature. They must
not be, nor have been, identified
with any clique Or faction, nor
rest under the least suspicion that
they will become the plant tools
of any person OF influence. They
should be men of sound, practical
sense, intelligent enough to know
what the state as well as the
county needs in the way Of legis.
lation, industrious and influential
enough to compass the most gooe
for their constituency. The Of
fee should seek the men, rather
than the men the office. We
should be warned by the course O
Multnomah's hybrid delegation
in the last legislature that We
cannot be too insistent that on1,
high-minded and trustworthy
men be placed iii nomination
The man who is profuse of prom
ises and pledges before election
usually disappoints, often hutnili
ates his friends afterward, ant
not infrequent1y becomes a clog
if nothing worse, to -necessar,
public measures.
The election of all U. S. sena
tor will devolve upon the mex
legislature. Benton's delegation
should be men who do not regar
this as the chief legislative func
ton, but rather as an inciden
which should not, and so far a
they are soncerned, shall not oh
struct legislation nor give it an,
sort Of bias or direction i1imica
to the public good. This ma
require men with well-develope
vertebra, SO we shall make n
mistake by selecting such.
Let the delegates bear in min
they are a convention of republi
cans in the interests of the Who'll
party, and that the nomination o
good men is of greater importane
and a surer augury of victor
than any set of resolutions Q
statement of purposes they cal
give to the public.
