WONDERFUL TONGUE
That Of the Nez PerCe
Indians Has 100000
infections.

Father Cataldo Of Gnozaga college,
who is one CT the pioneers of the In
dian mission work In the northwest,
says that the language Of the Nez
Perce Indians is the most expressive
known. They never experience any
difficulty In expressing themselves.
They are great coiners Of words, and
II they have not word handy to
make themselves understood they
make one.
1.-THE active verb of the Nez Perce
language, said Father Cataldo,
"has nearly 100000 contractions.
Their grammar has nothing of a
similarity to that of any European
language. Instead of one infection,
as In Latin, the first person has also
four infections and the third six.
"They have fifty.one lenses.
Every tense has twenty. eight infiec-
tions, SO these multiplied by the
lenses, give us 428 infections.
"Then they have about $50 ad-
verbs that are connected with the
verb; for instance, with the verb
think. l think, 1 think a little, I
think much, l think going, think
coming, and 80 on. They differ from
the English language In that they are
really part Of the verb. So these 42S
infections must be multiplied by
$50 modified verbs, making 81. 200
infections.
"Besides this, there are about
participles which are de.
,lined with the regular declensions,
having fourteen cases in the singular
md fourteen In the plural. This
sives US 700 infections In paIticiplss.
This multiplied BY the $50 modified
veT be gives 1O5, 900 infections Of the
which must be added to
he $4,000 infectious of the verb,
properly speaking. Thus 1t will be
,een that we have discovered 169,-
300 infections. However, we are
that there are enough more
20 make up the toal Of 200, 900,
although this is all we found II
necessary to use In our work among
The Neg Perce."
Father Cstaldo says that the Nez
Perce have iron bound rules Of
grammar. The only other language
DO has ever heard that shows any
IL that Of the Eskimos.
That only resembles 1t In regard to
infection. Spokesman. Review.

P.MORGAN'S WEEKLY
ON NATIONAL POLITICS

"On the whole" says Harper's
Weekly, In commenting on the re.
suits Of the elections throughout the
country, "the impression made upon
us by a review Of the whole contest
IL that Senator Hanna has been thrust
once more into the republican fore
ground, while on the mocartic side
events seem to be swiftly preparing
for the advent Of President Cleve-
land"
Which would be lovely enough
from the Morgan's Weekly point of
view. With Hanna on one side and
Cleveland on the other, the rapa.
cious. selfish, designing and lawlsss
interests arrayed against President
Roosevelt would care nothing which
way the cat hoped. They could
speed serenely away on their summer
vacations aud be joyous In the refiec-
tion that things were sure to come
their way without money and without
price. There would be no need to
collect q gigantic campaign fund.
Perhaps. though. II IL a case Of
the wish being father to the thought.
The signs Of the elections do not
point to Roosevelt's defeat In the
national convention, az MIR. Nor.
gan's Weekly would like to believe.
That Journal reaches Its conclusion
by advancing two premises that will
not bear examination, namely, that
Tammsny's victory proves that New
York 10 lost irrevocably to the repub.
iicaus." and that the vast republican
majority iu Ohio 10 wholly due to
the personal popularity Of Mr..
Hanna. Tammsny's recent victory
signifies nothing In the broader realm
OF national politics. II IL merely a
reminder that the masses Of New
York voters prefer Tamniany's policy
Of u "wid open town" to Lows pol
10y OF restricted immortality and vice.
As for the victory In Ohio, 1t was
more Of tribute to the administration
Of President Roosevelt than q mani
festation Of riproaring affection for
Senator Hanna. MIR. Hanna under.
standsthis thoroughly, as proved by
his almost inedecent haste to climb
into the Roosevelt band wagon last
May, when the president, ina public
statement sent out from his special
train at Walls Walla, intimated that
those who were not for him would be
regarded as against him, aud intinlat-
Ing that II Mr.. Hanna wanted a
personal issue drawn between them In
Ohio he could be accommodated.
OF course Hsrper's Weekly will be
seeing all sorts Of signs Of Roosevelt's
waning strength and Hanns's rising
popularity, but Its motives are SO
palpable that Il will ind It hard to
convince the republican party that 1t

Gets On the Fact That
Eastern Oregon Is Not
EnamOred With Web.
footMetrOpOIis.

We often hear the question asked,
"Why is IL so much apathy exists In
Portland IN regards the vast mining
interests of eastern Oregon, and why
the lack Of interest displayed by
some of the Portland peopley" The
people of the eastern section of the
state claim that they have cause TO
complain, and that they receive
more courtesy and attention from the
papers of Spokane, Seattle aud Salt
Lake than they do from the papers Of
Portland. This IL fact. Our local
papers annually visit eastern Oregon
with the glad hand. promising great
circulation and fine half.tone work
and the further agreement Of constant
attention from mining news stand
point, for which they receive such
gratuities as the eastern Oregon con.
tingent see 1T to hand out. The
result In the past has been no excess
In circulation, poor half.tones, on
poorer paper, and never line from
New Year until the next grating
season.
The wholesale business men of
Portland and the mining machinery
houses for years have been accus.
toned to sit In their offices. while
the eastern Oregon trade, having no
other place to go, was naturally laid
on their counter. This method Of
doing business has caused the moss
backs to believe that they own 1t.
In the meantime the cities Of Seattle.
Spokane and Salt Lake have been
settled with a class Of people who be-
lieve In going after what they want,
In giving value for money received
aud expressing thanks for favors
rendered. The innovation on Port.
lands method naturally has won the
trade aud confidence Of eastern Ore
gon until she knows who her friends
are and they get the results In no
uncertain quantities. Anything
emanRting from Portland IL given the
"icy nit" and II IL nothing more
than what the metropolis Of the state
has earned by its "doR In the man.
ger" style. While the Portland ma.
chinery and Wholesale houses are
complaining that they do not receive
proper recognition, outside agencies
have their representatives constantly
In the field doing all In their power
to cultivate u friendly alliance.
Until recently the papers Of the
three cities mentioned have con
tained more mining Information
every day than could be counted In

HAS KEPT HIS WORD.
Bachelor Governor Of Kansas Keeps
q Campaign Promise.
New Executive Mansion Now Has .
Mistress and Everybody Seems
Pleased-Uniuue Political
Romance.

When it was found last summer that
the republicans of Kansas, by some in
advertence, had nominated bachelors
for governor and lieutenant governor,
distinct social shock was experienced
in that state, and there was q decided
feeling of surprise elsewhere.
For the pride of Kansas, even more
than her corn crop, is her homes and
schools, and without wives and chill
dren homes and schools are manifestly
impossible. Furthermore, no matter
what may be the feeling in the east,
in Kansas there is widespread belief
that q bachelor is only half q man,
who is not doing his duty to the repub-
lie.
Hence the celibacy of the republican
candidates for governor and lieutenant
governor became a political issue in a
way, chiefly humorous, of course, but
still not without its serious aspects.
Furthermore, the state had just COM
pleted fine executive mansion, and
the people were disappointed with the
prospect that this should be q mere
bachelors hall.
Hence, Hon. Willis j. Bailey was
moved to promise, or to at least to init
mate, that if he were elected governor
he would marry and cease to set bad
example of bachelorhood to the young
men of Kansas and the nation.
In this connection it is deplorable to
be compelled to state, says the Chicago
Inter Ocean, that in the United States
and Canada there were at least 1000
women who threw themselves at Gov.
Bailey's head and voluntarily ex-
pressed their desire to share the home

Bird Builds Nest Of Lace,

A Mrs. Newton, who lives in Center
street, Geneseo, N. Y, put two fine lace
collars out on the lawn in-front of her
house to dry few days ago. When
she went to get them an hour later
they were gone. She was sure nobody
stole them, because she was sitting
beside a window at the front of the
house at the time and would have
seen anybody entering the yard. The
next day she put another collar out
and watched. A robin flew down from
an apple tree near by and carried off
the collar. An investigation was made
and the other collars were found
woven into the birds nest in crotch
of the apple tree. There was also a
small lace handkerchief in the nest.
The bird that was doing the "ine-art"
nest building and its mate set up big
cutlery and pecked fiercely at the man
in the tree when the nest was being
pulled down.

department of commerce act, which
provides that a person with the rank
of chief of bureau shall be designated
by the secretary of state "to formulate,
under his direction, for the instruction
of consular officers, the requests of the
secretary of commerce and labor; and
to prepare from the dispatches OF con-
sular officers, for transmission to the
secretary of commerce and labor, such
information as pertains to the work
of the department of commerce and Ia

bureau of the state department, which
is to be known as the bureau of trade
relations, will have other duties, such
as the collection and transmission OF
consular reports on special subjects,
other than commercial, for various
branches of the government service,
and the compiling of information for
the use of the department Of state in

In our foreign intercourse.
Secretary Cortelyou has determined
to consolidate the Office of disbursing
clerk, department of labor, with the
disbursting office of the department of
commerce and labor from July 1 next,
when the department of labor will be-
come bureau of the new department.
This course will simplify the work of
accounting to the officers of the treas
ary, as the disbursements on account
of the department of labor will be in
cluded in the accounts of the disburst-
ing office of the department of COM
merce and labor, doing away with one
set of accounts in the secretary's office,
the auditors Office, the treasury in
Washington and the subtreasury in
New York. The services of the dis
bursting clerk of the department of la
Dor will be required in connection with
the examination of the vouchers for
expenditures in the department. be-
fore they are sent to the secretary's Of
fee for audit and payment.
The commission of statistical work
recently appointed by Secretary Cor
telyou has unanimously recommended
that the statistics of cities of 10000
population and over, authorized to be
collected by the department of labor
under the act of congress approved
July 1. 1898, be transferred to the CEN
sus office as early after July next as
possible.
Secretary Cortelyou has approved
this recommendation and has an
nounced his intention to issue an order
in accordance Herewith on or about
the 1st of July.

On the LIST of July the bureau of

of state, which has charge of the col

of the commercial reports of consular
officers, will be transferred to the de-
partment of commerce and labor, and

the treasury to the new department.
The collection of the reports will be
made through the consular officers,
under the direction of the secretary of
state, through whom the reports will
be transmitted to the secretary of com
merce and labor. The two departments
are expected to work in harmonious CO.
operation, as the functions of each are
clearly defined and there is full agree
ment between them. Mr.. James &.
Monaghan, who has been chosen by
Secretary Cortelyou to edit the re-
ports under the supervision of Mr..
Austin, chief of the bureau of statis'
tics, is professor in the commercial
department of the University of Wis

provided for him by the people of Kan
sas.
Being a gentleman, Gov. Bailey did
not make this melancholy fact known,
and doubtless would gladly have con-
cealed it. But even the most discreet
of sec, etaries will talk, and the enor-
nous increase of obviously feminine
letters arriving at the executive office
could not we'll be hidden.
Being also stalwart American man,
Gov. Bailey did nothing with these
epistles save to put them in the fire.
Feeling it to be his mans. privilege to
ask, and not to be asked, he paid no at
tention to them. And in spite of the
pointed remarks of newspaper humor-
lists and of the anxiety of the people of
Kansas, he went straight ahead in his
own way, and did not marry until he
was ready, and then married the wom-
an strictly of his own choosing.
And being also sensible American,
he did not marry any of the women
who had not shown themselves pleased
with him or conscious of his existence
until he attained high station. He
chose a woman whom he had known
for years, who had long been resident
Just over the Nebraska border near his
own Nemaha county home. And some
will think that in choosing widow,
whose experience of married life might
supplement his own inexperience, he
chose wisely.
At any rate, Gov. Bailey was married
June T. The executive mansion at To-
peka now has a mistress. The fears
of Kansas lest her governor should set
a bad example of celibacy are dis
PEELED. And in her joy over the support
thus given to her cherished institutions
Kansas is probably disposed to forget
even her recent griefs over having
too much water at the wrong time in
the wrong places.

services of the men whose states have
decided to supplant them is sound
enough. Service in the senate often
develops the usefulness of man to his
country as we'll as to his party, and va
cancies in other branches of the public
service are often best filled by men
with at least six years experience in
the upper house of congress. But the
practice is susceptible of abuses, and It
is at times INDUCED in at the expense
of ADLER men for no better reason than
a willingness to take care of men who
have outlived their usefulness and
would better be suffered to retire to
the private life to which they had been
relegated.
