TO DRINK RUM PA YEARS OLD
That's What Wistar Institutes Di
rectors Will Do In 1892.


PhiladeIphia.-Ja rum eli years
old is promised to the directors of the
WiStar Institute of Anatomy of the
University of Pennsylvania at the cen
tcnary of the institute. But the only
directors who will be allowed to drink
it will be those who are in Office in
1892, when dinner will be arranged
for them for the specific purpose of
drinking the rum. The centenary of
the institute will be in 1892.
A bottle of jamaica rum was left I'M
opened in this city by British officers
upon their evacuation of Philadelphia
in the War of the Revolution, and its
history since that time is recited upon
a card tied to the neck. The card was
written by Isaac Wistar, founder of
the institute.
Mr.. Wistar inherited the bottle from
his uncle. Franklin Jones. In 1894,
two years after he founded the inSti
tute. he presented the bottle to the in
Stitute, with the request that it be held
for the centenary celebration. The
bottle is of green cOlored glass ana

WOULD PROTECT HORSES.

Following the passage of the city
ordinance relating to the care of horses
when tied at the hitchracks and along
the streets Mayor Sims has issued the
following statement: Ordinance No.
125 published Sept. "a is intended to
protect animals from being left on the
streets of the city at unreasonable
hours, and in part reads as follows;
ANY animal hitched to any rack in
any of the streets or alleys of the city
must from Oct to May 1, be well
blanketed from 10 p. m. to midnight,
and at any time of year hitching animal
Is prohibited form midnight until six
a. m. Any person violating this ordin-
ance is subject to a fine of $3.50 for
the first offence" The intent is as far
as possible to protect horses or other
animals from unnecessary exposure,
and insure reasonable treatment. and
everyone should see that these require
ments are observed.

CUTTING BOTH WAYS.

There Is now war tax, with no war
II is not war tax. 1t is a pork bar
rel tax, deficiency taxa deficiency
created by Democratic waste misman-
agement, extravagance.
The revenue tariff has failed. they
say, because the war cut off imports
But the war had nothing to do with
the fact that a Democratic congress,
in gross and deliberate violation of its
pledges, and in open disregard of the
condition of the country, rolled up APP
preparations in excess of 81, 100. 600, 600
or 800, 900, 900 more than the last pre-
vious Republican congress
There Is no tariff on wool or lumber
or eggs or meat or others of the great
products of the west. Yet the importa-
uons from abroad are larger than ever.
Thus it is obvious that the Demo-
cratic tariff has cut both ways.
First, 1t has opened up the Ameri-
can market to the foreign producer
Second, 1t has yielded no revenue,
on agricultural products, and not brough
In enough revenue from others.
Would war tax have been neces-
sary-even with Democratic extrava-
gance and incompetence-if there had
been tariff on wool. on meats on lum.

seen no spectacle so awful as this, of
100000 people starving on the shores

every great harvest field of the world
Something like 1t we have known about

REAL AND BOGUS wAR TAX.

When, in 1898. this country went TO
war In Just cause and money was
needed to put our military forces on a
IiShting footing, war tax was pro-
posed. Oscar Underwood, now Demo-
cratic leader of the house. then a
congressman, was against this tax.
He said. this tax will fail almost en-
tirely on the hard working and indus
trious artisans, merchants, mechanics.
farmers and professional men of the
country. but not on idle wealth that is
protected but never made to pay for
the benefits received. l know its fea-
lures are partisan and unjust they will
Cypress the masses of the people. They
are unnecessary and the same amount
OF revenue could be raised from sources
that would equalize the burdens OF
taxation and not be- felt by the
people,"
Now. our country is at peace with all
the world, yet the Democrats, led by
Mr. Underwood. levied an alleged war
tax and under his leadership i'm
posed gag rule cutting off debate and
forced the fictitious war measure
through the house of representatives
VIII not the average man see the incon
sistency of the Democratic leader and
his party?

DEMOCRACY AND MINING

When the people OF the Coeul

upon which they depend ana which has
reached point where curtailment Of
output and suspension OF operation,
have been necessary, they natural,
seek the cause and make comparisons
with other periods when the prices were
good and demand for the metals unlim
lied Having done this and being in
teligent people. they win at once use
| the means at their Command To restore
the prosperous conditions that prevailed
| by a singular coincidence, up to the
hour Woodrow Wilson was elected presl-
dent and it was known that the con-
troll OF government would pass into the
hands of the democratic party. The
means at their command is the ballot,
and they can be depended upon to use
it to drive the democrats from power
just as they did following their last
experience with democratic rule and
which produced results that differed
only in degree from those that exist
throughout the country today.

riot of extravaganza has prevailed in
the democratic congress and the people
are now going to be forced to pay a
so-called war tax to cover the deficiency
caused by the failure of the democratic

IDAHO couNTYs COURT HOUSE.

The statement made in the county
divisionists articles that Grangeville
had just finished up an expensive sew
er system and a new $50, 900 school
and there was no telling how soon they
would be called upon for the erection
of a 100000 or $3.50. 900 court house. was
one of the efforts used to prejudice the
the voters which had no foundation ir
fact. Grangeville and Grangevile
alone Is responsible for the sew
er system. and is paying for 1t
herself; and the Grangeville indepen-
dent school district built the splendid
school house and is paying for 1t itself
The taxpayers of Idaho county at
large have nothing to do with paying
for either, but 1t should be a matter
of pride that their county seat has the
enterprise to do such things.
The statement about the people prob
ably being called upon soon by Grange
vile for. the erection of new court
house at cost of from 500. 900 to $780,
900. and the doubt that Is attempted
to be thrown upon the county's owner
ship OF the present court house, Is on
par with other matter that has been
issued. Grangeville built the present
court house for the county and gave II
purpose. according to the requirements
Of the law. and the only manner in
which the transfer could be legally
made. II any question Of it's validity
is raised or any one should get anx-
ious about the 81 per year involved for
the 80 years. 1t will most assuredly not
come from any of the citizens of
Grangevile If the county was sued
Tor the dollar no doubt 1t could be col
lected. for Idaho county is solvent. but
that would in no wise invalidate or
Jeopardize the county's present title to
the building. However. II any of those
persons who are exercised about the 81
per year consideration which the coun-
ty Is obligated to pay, and prefer build
ing $4,000 court house and present
ing 1t to the county to stop the pres
ent expense, 1t would no doubt be ac-
cepted with thanks. But Grangeville
Is not asking for a new court house
and does not stand half the show of
getting it now If she wanted it, that
she would If the county was divided.

PENALIziNo HOME INDUSTRY.

The Oregonian is hard to please.
Probably this is the reason that
persons have stopped trying to
please the Oregonian. When we
had high tariff, the Oregonian
clamored for free trade. Since the
Democratic administration reduced
the tariff, the Oregonian clamors for
more protection for wool, sugar and
numerous other articles.-Salem

wool. oats. hay, milk, butter, eggs and
the like, by making them all Except
butter) free of duty, thus inviting and
bringing about the invasion of the
American market by cheaper foreign
articles. The Messenger wants To
send Oregon money for eggs to China
and for butter to New Zealand
The Oregonian objects to the
Payne Aldrich bill because II unrea-
sonably protected many great indus
tries; II objects to the Wilson Under
wood tariff because IT unfairly dis
eliminates against Western products.
The Oregonian will not be satisfied
with any tariff produced by log-roll-
ing, favoritism. barter. and sectional
prejudice. 1t has favored non-par-
tisan tariff commission, which shall
arrange tariff schedules based on alb
soiute economic principles, and on the
revenue needs of the country. 1t ap-
proves now such a method
But the Democratic party does not
desire norma rtiSan ,lat
nation of a correct tariff 1t denounces
the corrupt give-and- take methods by
which the PayneAldrich tariff is adopt
ed; and then, when its turn comes
builds its own tariff in the same way.
Let the Messenger state. for the
benefit of its readers, how well. or
how poorly, the Underwood tariff has
buttered Oregons bread.

Democratic chorus that the empty din

ination stolen from the immaculate and
much-wronged Sulzer. as Mr.. Taft is
alleged TO have run on nomination

II this be so, 1t Is but another sad
case Of throwing back In politics. a
party sets forth on its career determin-
ed on relentless war against all the
sins of the older parties, but within a
year or two commits those sins itself.
So II was in many instances where the
Populist party was strong. So it is
now with the Democratic party, which
promised economy. lower taxes, cheaper
living and civil service reform. but
has given us extravaganza, deficit taxes
as costly living before, but with less
to spend, and revived spoils system.
