Attitude of the Populace Toward
King Alfonso.

London, May 23.-The Madrid CORE
spondent OF the Times says the attitude
of the populace toward King Alfonso
is the happiest omen for the new reign.
Everywhere the appearance of the king
caused a pleased surprise, says the cor
respondent, and the acclamations grew
In intensity
one incident was especially noticeable.
While his majesty was returning from
the review, mounted members Of the
civil guard rode their horses ruthlessly
into a crowd to clear a passage for the
king. Women shrieked and men cursed
The rage of the crowd for a moment
was great and suggested a vision Of
Goyas fearful picture of the Mamelukes
who fell victims to the mob on the
same spot Happily the people fell back.
There was momentary hush, and then
their menacing attitude suddenly
changed. The crowd broke into great
applause as the king approached, riding
by himself and smiling and saluting.

A Time Without a Craze.

For the first time in fully q quarter of century the country is undisturbed by any sort of q craze" In no part of the land is there discernablc an or ganiZed body of discontent. When one looks back over the period since the war with it's virtually unbrCken sue cession of different kinds O: financial crazes, now greenbacks, now unlimited paper money, Dollar of the Daddies. and finally unlimited coinage of silver at It to l; as one reviews these popular delusions and with them the Granger movement and the various forms of populism, he is moved to mild wonder why nothing of the kind is to be seen at the present time. What is the ex- planation of the lack? Simply that the great prosperity of the country is shared by the entire body of it's pop ulatlon. There could be no stronger evidence Of this fact than the absence of organized discontent.
 IL IS the frequently avowed opinion or the most intelligent commentators upon government in this country that We nave too much legislation, that most of our ills come from the enact ment Of unnecessary laws. Surely this IS time fer preaching that doc Urine II there ever was one. IT the present congress should attend to a few mat ters of pressing importance. like recip- fccity for Cuba, gold standard fer the Philippines. pass the apprcpriation bii. and adjCIra. the country would not suHer. In fact, the public welfare would be better served in that case than 1t could in any other way. Our uneXamplod prosperity has come to the country simply because the business interests have been let alone after hay ing been established firmly through the first de:eat of Bryan on a sound finan- claI basis. This prosperity has bean so universal, has included in it's bene- flts sc completely all elements of the population. that there is no room for dlscontent,. no excure for or provoca ton tc craze" Surely. this is the tune to let well enough alone" and a president who has the wisdom to use the power of his great office in that direction is the only kind of ruler the country wants.-New York Commercial Advertiser.

CURRENT COMMENT
Interesting to Relatives.

A large sized social question has just been judicially settled by Justice Graves, of Wisconsin-namely: How long a time may a mans own CT his wife's relatives stand him up" So to speak. for board and lodging under the cover of a friendly visit:"
 Next to the discovery by a blonde wife of q long black hair on the lapel of her husbands coat there is probably nothing more stimulative of domestic discord than the unexpected and unin- vited descent upon a hitherto happy household of cousin and his wife or an aunt and her husband for a friend ly visit of indefinite length.
 In the typical case oi MT. and Mrs. Sax, of Milwaukee, two of their second ! cousins named Vogel suddenly came upon them lin the good old summer i time" and remained with them for five mortal weeks. Wherefore the Saxes sued the Vogels for $55 for board. The defense of the Vogels was: FIst. they were second cousins second, they did rot agree to pay board; third. they only only stayed five weeks because they were urged to do so.
 The third plea. though plausible, had no weight with Justice Graves. Possi-
 bly he had been there himself'' and
 understood the urgent requests to wis | iting relatives who have already stayed
 a fortnight to 'linger longer-do. " ought rot Co be to literally interpreted

MURDER WILL OUT.

Exceptionally strong evidence was unearthed in the Edwards case, who is accused of murdering . Mexican near Wilcox a year ago. Last week the wife of the dead man identified the re- mains as those of her husband. Evi- dence now connects Edwards with the dead man from Clifton to Wilcox. The burros and pack have been identified as the property of the dead man. Ed wards was seen leaving Wilcox, with the outfit the day of the murder. and the day before the Mexican and Ed wards camped together. On his re- turn to Clifton Edwards exhibited a bloody aX to a party, telling that he had killed q Mexican with it. The party is now on the ground ready to to~tify. A complete chain is woven
 around the accused. and it will be next to a miracle if he escapes conviction.

French Railroad Women.

In one of his latest reports to the department. Consul General Gowdy Paris) furnishes this interesting little budget of facts about the French raiI- road women:
 "On the six principal roalroads (Ouest, Est, Paris-L Lyons -Mediter- rance, Orleans, Nord, MidD there are l5,3l9 women. They are employed to keep the gates at level crossings. and receive very small-almost a nominal salary; but each woman has a cot tage (generally with a little garden) rent free. According to the official re- turns, the women work twenty-eight or thirty days a month, and from ten to fifteen hours per day, but as a mat ter of fact their duties only occupy them a few minutes at rare intervals for where the traffic is great men are employed) and they have plenty of time to look after their household affairs. Not infrequently the female gate keeper is married to a porter or plate layer, and her small earnings and house help to eke out his wages. OI these 15,319 women, 5,275 receive not more than $2.90 per month; 7.7OO receive from s2-sO to 4.S0; 1900 get from s4.s2 to $7.12; and 601 from $7.91 to S1O.61 only sixty women get higher wager than this, and there are only five wno receive rom S26.25 to $31.S4 per month.

Oil Boom
for Oregon

Since the discovery Of high grade oil
near Namcs, in the upper Ond OF the
Malheur Basin, excitement in Baker
City and Portland has intensified, ac-
cording to the Democrat. The stocks OF
oil companies are beginning to find
market and capitalists are turning their
attention 10 Eastern Oregon as never
bsfore. Various propositions are now
being considered for the development OF
these oil fields on a large scale and 1t is
safe TO precict that the biggest boom"
ever known in the history OF the state
will take place this year. 1t is also safe
10 predict that foreign capital will get
most of the benefit because OF the slow
ness of Oregon people to get in out OF
the wet. A prophet is not without
honor save in his own country, ID an
adage that has frequently been illus'
t-atd in Oregon.

AN IDEAL
MEDICINE
4 New Discovery Which
Cures all Forms of Catarrh

The tablet is the ideal form in which
to administer medicine, but until
recently no successful catarrh tablet had
ever been attempted, There 10 now,
however, an excellent and palatable
remedy for catarrh in tablet form,
known as Stuart's CAtarrh Tablets and
sold by druggists, composed Of the most
recent discoveries in medicine for cure
Of catarrh and results from their use
have been highly gratifying,
The old time treatment Of catarrh was
ia the form OF inhalers, washes, douches,
sprays, etc Later on internal remedies
we're used with greater success, bat be-
ing in liquid or powder form were in
con venient to use and like all medicines
in liquid or powder form, lose their
medicinal properties when opened or
exposed TO the air,
Stuarrs Catarrh Tablets contain
highly concentrated antiseptics, Bed
Gum, Blood Root. etc, which kill the
catarrh germs in the blood and mucous
membrane and in this respect are
strictly scientific and modern, because
all authorities are now agreed that
catarrh is consti. .utional blood disease,
aud local applications can have only a
transitory effect.
The use of inhslers, douches and
sprays is a nui-ance and inconvenience
and can in no wise compare iavorably
with the same antiseptics given in
tablet form internally, where they can
reach the stomach and blood and Kill

SEATTLE
SCHEME
City Light Plant TO be EStab.
IiShed.
MayOraIty Nominees Pledged
in Support.

SEATTLE, Feb Is Unless all sgl 8
fail, the voters of Seattle will, al the
coming municipal election, vote in fav r
of the construction and operation by tie
city of the water power electric light
and power plant. The question has
been submitted to the voters Of the City
Council, and the proposition meets with
a great deal of favor from all classes Of
people.
Recently every candidate of any con-
siderable promise in the Mayoralty race
hae announced himself in favor Of the
proposed plant. The candidates who
have so announced themselves includes;
I. j. Humes, the present Mayor, aud
Frank Paul, who lie HE opponent for the
honor of the Republican nomination; j.
w. Goodwin and s. S. Bailey, leading
candidates for the Democratic nomina-
tion; Richard Windsor, candidate for
the Popuist nomination; Everett Smith,
the Prohibition candidate, and George
Scott, the Socialist candidate.
The proposition upon which the peo.
pie will vote is to establish plant on
the Cedar River at the source Of the sup
ply Of the city's water system. The
plant will be constructed originally for
the sole purpose of supplying the city
with lights, but it will he more than
ample for this purpose, and it is pro-
posed that the city shall enter the mar
ket in competition with the present
lighting companies to furnish light to
private parties.
