STUB ENDS OF NEW THOUGHT

Truth stands immovable and ever
present, awaiting our individual per-
ception.
Man has been like a king seeking
aims at his own palace gates under the
delusion that he is a beggar.
The world is filled with systems,
cults, creeds and methods of reform,
Enough surely to bring peace upon
earth if it could be done that way.
The person who has awakened to
individuality knows that he need not
beg or cringe or whine like a whipped
cur at the feet of the Infinite.
Universal individuality means tha,
we must each of us attend strictly to
our own affairs-so You may see how
far away we are from universal indi.
viduality.
One of the prolific causes of all the
trouble today is the mistaken idea
that we must attend to some one else,
business, some one else's salvation
and conduct"
If human beings could be Jumped
together and driven like sheep wher.
ever the herder wished to drive them
any of the methods employed in the
past would have won out.-McIvor.
Tyndall.

WHY NOT OWN THEM?

The United States government will
now begin an extended investigation
of the Hartman system of railroads,
with view to ascertaining in how
many devious and hidden ways this
great magnate is violating the laws
OF the land.
The investigation will require the
services of courts, committees, special
agents, special prosecutors, special
witnesses and a thousand other spec
ial expenses which the people must
pay.
And after 1t is all over, the fact will
remain that Hartman will have his
friends in congress to strengthen his
system by special legislation.
Why not authorize the government
TO buy the railroads and be done with
It? The court expenses made neces-
ssry by these Investigations would be
sufficient to buy the entire PROPOSE
ton within a few years.

HIGHER SALOON LICENSES.

AT the time the $1,000 saloon license
ordinance was passed last spring the
opponents of that measure predicted
that 1t would mean ruin 20 a large
proportion of the saloon keepers,
while even the most ardent friends of
the measure did not think that the
city could come anywhere near
doubling its receipts from the licenses
by means of it. Their estimate. and
they themselves thought it optimistic
on the financial side, was that prob
ably 20 per cent of the saloons would
go out of business.
The renewal of the saloon licenses
for the second half-year since the
passage of the ordinance shows, to the
surprise of every one concerned, that
the number of saloons has fallen off
merely to a trifling extent. from 1858
to 1881. The revenue for the current
year will be S7,292 900. As against
SS,729.O9l last year. This fact is in
part due. of course. to the saloon lin
itation ordinance, which fixes the ra-
ito of saloons to population and pro-
vides that no new licenses can be is
sued in place of any that are revoked
or surrendered till this ratio is
reached, which will not be for a long
time to come.-Chicago Record Her

TO DISCOURAGE RESERVES.

It is said that one of the chief
reasons why the lumber trust of the
northwest has raised the price Of
lumber so much within the past two
or three years is to whip the public
into line on the forest reserve ques-
ton.
The trust is naturally opposed to
the reserves because their formation
stops the flagrant abuses of the trust
in grabbing the public domain. The
people are generally in favor of the
reserves because they give promise
of saving the remnant of the forests
to the public.
SO in order to make the public
change its sentiment on the forest
reserve question, the lumber trust
puts up the price Of lumber. claim
ing that the creation of the forest re-
serves and the restriction of the lum-
Der companies by the government are
the causes of high prices.
The trust attempts to reach tbs
sentiment of the public through it.

vooDooIsM IN HAYTI.

In name the Haytians are Chris
tians, and, in the particular, Roman
Catholics. In fact, however, they are
votaries of the Voodoo, or, rather,
Vaudoux, as they call it, which de-
manas human sacrifice. Despite all
Christianity. despite Catholic and
Protestant missionaries, the mass of
the people have long since relapsed
into the old African fetichism.
All travellers who have written on
Hayu - Moreau, st. Meny, Spencer.
st. John, Samuel Hazard, Texier, etc.
agree that the Voudoux cult is
flourshing in every part of the coun-
try, and that human lives fall victims
to 1t, They only differ in regard to
the number of its victims.
But whether these victims number
at least 1900 annually, as writes the
Frenchman, TeXier, or whether, as
claims Haytian author. the mulatto
Tippenhauer, who is anxious to de-
fend his country, the human sacrifices
are by no means general" is. after

The East Oregonian is willing to

Oregon penitentiary but 1t would be
delighted 10 have the cooperation of
the Pendleton Tribune, which paper
is, or should be, equally interested in
the welfare of Umatilla county and
eastern Oregon farmers.
Instead OF making a plain statement
to ITS patrons the Tribune wanders off
on u tangent, talking Chinook jargon
and quoting Frank Davey on the jute
mill proposition.
This will not answer. The Tribune
is either for or against a jute mill
and the farmers of the county wish
to know where it stands.

1t is one thing to boast of the high
protective tariff which has made all

quite another thing to explain to Una

Jute, when not a pound of CONNER

THE TIBETAN BIBLE.

The Kahgyur, or Tibetan Bible,
consists of 1OS volumes of 1000 pages
each, containing 1893 separate books.
Each of the volumes weighs 10 pounds
and forms a package 26 inches long
eight inches broad and eight inches
deep. This Bible requires a dozen
yaks for its transport, and the carved
wooden blocks from which it Is
printed need rows of houses, like q

WAY OF THE WORLD.

Nine men toll while one man plays,
Nine men serve one all their days;
Nine men beg what one may give,
Nine men die that one may live.
One man laughs while nine men sigh
One succeeds where nine men try;
One man wins the love he Graves,
Nine men to pretense are slaves.
One man hopes while nine despair;
One usurps what nine should share;
"Some time" nine men weakly say,
Boldly one man says To-day"
