THAT U. OF 0. sias.ooo.

The Oregon Legislature very prop
erly passed an appropriation in the
sum of Sl2s,000 for the benefit of the
University OF Oregon at its last ses-
sion, and the same was passed up to
the people upon a referendum, and
sill be voted upon at the general
election on June LIST.
For the credit of the whole State
and the good Of the University, it is
to be hoped there will be rousing
majority for the concession. To de-
feat such bill would show a popular
indifference to the maintenance and
success of one Of the best and most
helpful integers Of Oregon's state
hood.
The State has founded the institu-
ton in good faith, and maintained it
with fair generosity for the years Of
its existance; and what is sought for
it now, is not SO much by way OF
deliberate expansion, as it is to meet
the logical growth Of the great school
itself. \
You cannot keep good thing down
to any limitations; it is bound to
grow and flourish, and the extension
Of its work and service must be met
by prompt and rational expenditures
adequate to the pace Of that growth.
There is nothing to be urged against
such an appropriation; the regency Of
the University is of kind to negative
all thought of waste or extravagance
or worse, and every dollar of the
$l25,000 will find its exact and pur-
poseful place in the scheme Of bet
terment designed for the school.
The people do not always have the
opportunity to exercise their will in
the distribution of the public moneys,
and this is an occasion for the dem
onstration of their best judgment in
directing, at least, that much of the
public treasure to channels that mean
something of real and practical good;
and Of exemplifying their faculty for
wise administrative ability. To re-
fuse it will be sign of sheer weak
ness in that line; and we hope there
will be no dubiousness nor meagre-
ness in the mandate from the polls
to hand this sum over to the proper
representatives Of the establishment
we are all proud Of

JERoME'S TURN NOW.

New York's great criminal prose-
cutor is to be grilled on the grand
jury irons of inquisition. His removal
has been prayed for by a host Of
people who have alleged all sorts of
things against him and the matter
has reached the hands of Governor
Hughes, who calmly says, the
charges will take their usual course"
This means something's more than it
used to in New York, thanks to the
power and policies of that same Gov
ernor.
Jerome is of the "Four Hundred"
of Gotham and this may have contrib
uted somewhat to the sudden array
of adverse sentiment against him,
that idea being current and popular
just now in centers of that kind. His
office is, in sense, one of almost
National significance and cannot
escape the limelight even little bit;
therefore it is an easy matter to
account for the % formal charges
that have developed against him, and
which are, for the most part purely
tentative and of no real import, while
some Of them are grave enough to
rouse very definite interest.
Out here, $500 miles from the man
and his sphere, he has never doomed
very big; has never been considered
really distinguished nor great in the
field he occupies; but he has beer
generally credited with a desire tc
do his duty by the people. But, i

THE MODERN SURGEON.

While We are following our pessi.
mistic bent Of damning the graftcrs
scoring and scorning the interests
cursing the political pirates, OF our
day and country, we might, as mat
ter Of sheer relief, turn to the clear
and compensating manifestations Of
professional acumen and accomplish
ment that are making for the safety
and comfort OF the race and contrib
uting hugely to the annals Of scienti-
fc achievment.
Among the great professions we
hear most of the surgeons; that is,
more frequently and freely Of the
good things they are doing, Of the
discoveries they are making, and OF
the practical and perfect schemes they
are devising for eliminating the
chance Of death and diminishing the
volumne and duration of pain and
malady.
We owe more to them than we
realize and are far too chary in adj
mitting what Of it we do know. But,
day by day the debt is growing, and
the profound and successful students
of this comforting cult, become great
more by reason OF the readiness Of
their professional brethren to recog-
nize and proclaim their victories. than
by any spontaneous acknowledgment
conceded by the laity.
Every accession of professional and
technical value made by the physi-
clan or the surgeon, is OF direct bene-
fit to mankind and reduces the meas
ure Of its danger and decrepitude. We
should take better cognizance Of the
good that is being done for us and
signalize our sense of its splendid
import as we'll as our knowledge Of
its especial source.

CARE or HOUSE PLANTS.
Simple Directions That Are Worth
Needing and Remembering.


Be careful not to overwater them
To find out IL they need water rap
the side Of the pot with your knuckles.
II 1t rings clear and sharp the plant
needs watering.
II there is a dull sound the soil IL
already moist enough.
Let the soil get fairly dry before
wetting 1t again.
Plants thrive much better n not
permanently kept In jardinieres.
The average living room is too hot
and dry for growing things. They are
best kept in a cool room and moved
to hot rooms only for temporary deco
ration.
The extremes Of day and night in
window sill are too much for most
plants. Carry them into the middle Of
the room at night.
Keep a pan of water in the room
where they are kept; give them plant
food; spray them free from dust, and
keep a sharp lookout for pests.
In ventilating the room see that the
current of cold air does not strike
them directly: and remember that gas
fumes are deadly to them.
