Marshal Carney and his force are
to be congratulated in their efforts
to prevent petty crime, by causing
the congregating hoboes to move on.
These hoboes, some of them princes
at heart and gentlemen in disguise,
are always a menace to woodpiles
and coal bins, especially where they
are allowed to colonize in city. But
there is a vastly more numerous and
dangerous class of hoboes in Pendle-
ton. that is a more perilous menace
to the city, than any ragged beggar
that squats about a dim campfire on
the creek bottom. This other class is
arrayed in a white shirt, stands on
the street corner and lies in wait for
farmer boys and workingmen to rob
them of their wages in a poker game
or by some other equally dishonest
means. This class is thousand fold
more perilous to the community than
the shivering tramp, looking for a
crust, with perhaps suffering fam
lily awaiting tidings from him. in a
distant home. There was never a
more dangerous aggregation of tin
horns and men without occupation,
| in the city than now. Keep all the
hoboes moving. Don't discriminate
between the white shirt class and the
| other class.

Can the good citizen realize that
all this was true of Portland eight
short months ago and that it is no
longer true-that the last gambler
has come forward with his pledge to
hereafter observe the law? When
one thinks of what was it is impossi-
BILE to realize that what is was brought
about in such short order. But it
has been done as everyone can see
and it would have been impossible,
however the public demand, but for
the determination of one public of

The last recalcitrant gambler has
come out of the wet and signed the

finallty of the shortest, sharpest and
most decisive campaign in our munic-

lie gambling was the most powerful
and overshadowing influence in Port

rigid accountability those whom it
had elected. 1t terrorized public Of

BOY WEATHER.

It's boytime when it freezes,
It's boytime when it SHOWS;
The youngster is the one whose lot
Is happiest whe nit SHOWS.
It's rough on rheumatism,
And it seriously annoys
The dignity of grown folks,
But it's pretty good for boys.
It's just another instance
When nature makes it plain
That in the mighty scheme of things
There's nothing made In vain.
So let's forget our sorrows
In a. fellow beings joys;
The weathers hard on grown folks,
But it's pretty good for boys.

The singers of Pendleton should
cooperate with Prof. McMinn, in his
laudable undertaking to organize a
chorus of voices. Pendleton needs
more home talent productions. The
genius and ability are here, and only
lack organization. Such a chorus
would be a source of exquisite pleas
ure to the people of this city. There
are not enough elevating and inspir-
ing public amusements here for a
city of this size and tastes. In the
absence of such things. the people
cultivate taste for the trashy and
cheaper amusements There are as
able singers here as in any city on
the coast and there is no reason why
there should not be cordial cooper
alton in bringing together first
class chorus.

good start has been made, but
there is very much more yet to do.
In the first place we must keep the
ground we have won. IL so much
good can be done through the help of
one courageous, honest and deter
mined public official more can be
done in ways outside the path of his
duty through more officials of the
same stamp. Hence the need of care

Let us not waste time and effort
in trying to achieve impractical and
impossible things; we cannot reform
human nature all at once, or even
very much of it at a time, but we
can prevent public gambling, the
dance hall iniquities. some of the
grosser forms and phases Of evil and
above all we can for all time set the
seal of condemnation upon the open
alliance of the pubIic's administra-
ton with all such forms Of vice and

rnEDICTs DISASTER.
I. II. fful Makes Gloomy Remarks at
 Portland Exposition.

Portland. Ore, Oct 3.-President J. I. Hill of the Great Northern Railroad. was the principal speaker at banquet rendered by the Lewis and Clark ex- position last night to Mir. Hill and President Howard Elliott of the North ern Pacific Railroad. President Hill said: -s
 Notwithstanding the average rate patd by the people of the United States is only about 70 per cent. of that Of Russia. we have a great many people who are preaching a new doctrine and that is the regulation of railway rates by Federal authority.
 Tt has been announced in an omciai manner that there has been no reduc- tion of rates in the United States TOT twenty i've years; that tarins have been reduced at times, but that when ever a tariff was reduced, the classifi- cation was given another turn Of the wheel and advanced so as at least to offset the reduction in the tariff.
 "The man who made that statement did not tell the truth The reduction in the August rate per ton per mile in twenty-five years on the Great North ern Railway aggregates $667.o00,O0O. That has been the reduction that the people have gotten on one railroad.
 T am not afraid that any Federal regulation will ever get down deep enough to touch us where we live, be- cause, long before they do, the country will be strewn with the wrecks of rail- road corporations. They would bank rupt two-thirds of the mileage in the United States"

cocKarLL ON FREE TRADE.
Former Senator Makes Address at Dem
 ocratic Reuniom.


 warrenburg, Mo. Oct. S---Former United States Senator Francis M. Cock Till was the principal speaker at the Democratic legislative reunion held here tonight. Governor Joseph ". Folk, United States Senator William J. Stone, former Governor Alexander M. Dockery and Congressman Champ Clark also addressed the meeting. which was attended by most of the. prominent Democrats of the State. Senator Cock rell said in part:
 Absolutely free and unrestricted trade with foreign nations has never been advocated by any political party in the United States. It Is a mystic shrine, whose devotees are seeking an impossibility as long as restrictions on commerce are maintained by other ra- tions. Foreign commercial nations are today imposing restrictive measures upon our products on account of the highly protective duties of the Dingiey tariff law and will continue them as long as our duties remain as they are.
 Tt has been publicly proclaimed by leading men in the party in power that some at least of those high du- ties were imposed by that law with a view to reciprocity. Because our opponents in power advocate or pro- claim the application of Democratic principles and policies in the adminis- tration of our Government. is no req. son for cause why Democrats should oppose or abandon them.
 "Reciprocity as a means of securing Justice to our citizens and our prod ucts in foreign countries wsas taught and practiced by the founders of our party as a wise and just policy. IL may often be the only available means of securing g much-needed reduction of highly protected and prohibitory duties"

ment. the fact that certain class ok people find life bore uniess. they are in a whirl of excitement, will often ao- count for the fashionable headache, the headache of the "overworked@ society woman Work. properly so called, will never produce a headache. It Is one of the best preventives of headache. Anxiety and incessant worry will cer- tainiy cause the headache of ovef- strain. as any harassed anxious ana "worrit" household head of a lar8e family will testify to. The headache of anaemia. common enough among young girls of low vitality. Is due te q nervous system iii-nourfshed with ifn-

 'The second great cause of head- ache is eye strain. Many s man whc is suffering from eye strain assures his doctor that his eyes are certainly not at fault, as he has splendid sight t Is not his nerves of sight which ara affected but the nerve and minuta muscle of accommodation which he is constantly and unconsciously fatiEutng in order to make his sight as good a&

 should have their eyes examined by an ocu1ist.
 "A very large number of headaches come under the third category--narne- | 1y. headaches due to poison in th4 blood. The throbbing headache Is of- ten caused by what medical men call over blood pressure or too high blood pressure. due to impurities or toxins circulating in the blood.

 Representatives of the American delegation went on to Berlin after the conference and were there treated with the utmost consideration.

CHANDLER REPLIES
STATEMENTS OF PREsr-
 DENT SPENCER OF SOUTHERN.
Former New Hampshire Senator says Eaotisn sad Conceit of Magnate
 shows worthlessness of His General Utterances.

Concord. N. H., Oct. 3.--Former Sena- ttor William E. Chandler tonight issued a signed statement upon the railroad rate question in reply to remarks py President Samuel Spencer of the South- ern Railroad published in the morning newspapers. Mir. Chandler says MT snencer's general statement is that nothing but broad and legitimate facts' con ditions and arguments concerning railroad rate legislation have been pre- presented to Congress, and the pubic by the railroad managers, while none or that character has been advanced oy the other side, so there is nothing as yet which needs answer.
 'sThe egotism and conceit of MT. Spencer in thus deaiing with q great question shows the worthlessness of his general uterance.
 Particularly, however, he does deny that the Jim Crow cars have ever been in any sense factor in the argument on his side. But he does this In the face of the statement made by The Macon Telegraph that the bill must De resisted on the Jim Crow car ground. saying: If there were no other centrate this power in Washington. The Telegraph would oppose it on this single ground and the statements of The Charleston Post, That appeals are being made cleverly enough by the rail- roads and that the Southern people | are quickly moved by play upon their prejudices and this is being taken ad- | vantage of in the treatment of the Jim
 Crow car question:
 Tn view of these statements. Mir. spencer's denial is incorrect.
 "Mr Spencer also says that in his ad- dress before the manufacturers con-
 | yention at Atlanta fin May he did not
 use the Jim Crow car argument. and
 l that 1t was not used before the con- vention. On May zs Mir. Chandler said.
 in The Washington Post that MT. Spencer. the strongest railroad manager intellectually in the country. had been designated to make the issue with the
 President and that Mir. Spencer would attempt to consolidate the South 1 against legislation by the Jim Crow car argument.
 -Four months have elapsed before
 MT, Spencer made any denial whatever. Now he says he did not use the argu- ment, that 1t was not used before the | convention and that he has never used or referred to 1t elsewhere.
 '"That 1t was not used publicly before the convention, Mir. Chandler admits.
 As to the rest of the denial MT. Spen- ! cer's memory Is conveniently eclipsed."

New York, Oct. 3.--Early last night the quarter deck of the protected cruis- CT Tacoma lying alongside her pier Tn the navy yard. presented n scene that would have delighted the hearts of pat rons of the manly art if they could have witnessed it..
 Beneath a brilliant cluster of electric bunch lights was a regular twenty-four foot ring Aft of 1t sat officers from all the ships in the yard, and forward, tier upon tier, were the tackles, twen- ty-flve from each ship, and all the Ta- coma's crew There were three fast bouts, the first between Kid" Lnsky of Chattanooga, and "Kid' Beetham of the Tacoma. It resulted in a draw, as did the second bout of six rounds be- tween Master at Arms Charles Ward of the Brooklyn. and Seaman Hoskins of the same ship,
 In the final bout of ten rounds were H. R. Romartius of the Brooklyn, and T. F. Shafer of the Tacoma,
 For the first three rounds the men seemed about evenly matched. In the sixth round, Shafer got in a blow on the point of the jaw that knocked the Brooklyn man out.

AGAINST REPUBLIC.
Commercial Interests of Norway Desire Monarchical Government.

Christiana, Oct. 3.-The attempt to create agitation in favor of a Norwe- gian republic is finding no support from the country. The leaders of the move- ment appealed for addresses for prcsen- tation to the Storthing in favor Of republican form of government but so far the appeal has met with no re- sponse.
 The commercial and industrial Inter- ests appear to desire no disturbance or the existing order of things.
 At an important meeting here today of representatives of commercial and shipping interests 1t was unanimously resolved to present an address to the Storthing declaring that the submits sion of the question of a change in the constitution to a plebescite would greatly injure the country's economic interests.
 The country, the resolution said. wanted to return to a fixed and assur- ed. situation which would only be pos sible by limiting the national efforts to the platform adopted by the Storthing June ', the day the decision was re- ported to separate from Sweden which favored the maintenance of the monar- chical constitution.
 An address was drawn up embodyinE the foregoing and in addition asking the Storthing to ensure tranquility by the speedy election of a king. It was presented to the Storthing by special committee this evening.

 Berlin, Oct. 3.--The electrical work CTS strike shows no signs at any point of a settlement being reached. Today the strike extended to two more fac tories and the total number of men now out is 3s,000. No disturbances have occurred. Enough men have been obtained to supply current sufficient to keep two-thirds of the streets cars going.
 The strikers held twenty-five meet ings in the city and suburbs tonight, which were largely attended by strik- CTS. The speakers at these meetings generally adopted confident tone and predicted success of the strike within two or three weeks. A meeting of the employers of the Berlin electrical works. however. showed that they were depgessed because their leaving work has not caused e suspension Of street car traffic or electric lighting. The employees of this company are on ly part out owing to the large force of reserve firemen and engineefs. which was held in readiness for an emergency, the strike in this concern seems foredoomed to failure.
