The Portland Oregonian finds solace
for the interruption by the strike OF
business on the wires and cables by re-
verting to the happy old times before
the date of telegrsphs. 'In the Oregon
country" says the Portland newspaper,
i've used TO live without hearing
from the outer world, months at time,
and without caring for it. In 1852
Pierce was elected to the presidency;
In 1856, Buchanan. In the course OF
9 few months, on each occasion, Oregon
heard of these events; but what did
Oregon care? Her people had business
enough at home. They had TO find
their living and keep their scalpS on
their heads. Life was happier then
than it ever has been since" And what
is true of life in Oregon is also true in
many of the other States.

testing agaiDst the lawlessness OF the
anti-clericsls and demanding protection
for the church dignitaries. 1t is the
firs. time since 1870 that such a COM

government from the Vatican. BY i'm
pIication it accuses Italy of conniving
with the anti-clerieals, especially in not
prohibiting meetings OF socialists. The
pope and the cardinals under Italian
