That chimerical monster, the
hydra headed whiskey question, is
again vexing the legislative solous
and some people
To some extent those three great
powers, the press, the pulpit and the
petticoats, as well as the politicians,
will permit their hyperpious souls to
be greatly perturbed over what they
are pleased to term the "monster
?fit," tbe "crying sin ot the age,"
Ac, &c, world without end Well,

Anonymous correspondent writes
us that we have blundered io repre
eenting the name of a prospective
condidate for governor as " Artaxer

baptismal name of the person in ques
tion is MAbracadabar," a magical
word used as a charm against chills
snd fevers This, we submit, does
oot alter the essential justice of our
criticism. "Abrscsdabar U. Patti
son" ia a name which will give quite
as great wrench to the public nerves
as "Artaxerxes II. Psttiscu." More,
indeed ; for we can understand that
"Artaxerxes" might prove alluring
to a certain clsss of voters because
of the two Xa in it We renew our
objection to the injection of any such
excruciating names into the primary
campaign Yet who, after ail, is

An Intelligent Censor.
No play may be publicly performed
In England until it has been passed
upon and agreed to by the stage cen?
sor. A certificate must be secured
from the lord chamberlain. The lord
chamberlain himself does not, of
course, read all the plays submitted to
him, but the work is passed on to the
examiner of plays, who is not always
a man of education or discretion and
who in many cases has been suspected
of letting things pass because man?
agers have made it profitable to him
to close his eyes to supposed faults.
The story is told of one of these ex?
aminers who was moved to strike out
"drunk as a lord" in one of the plays
submitted to him. There uecd to be
an old rule that the word "heaven"
should be substituted in stage lines
wherever the name of any of the per?
sons of the Trinity enme up. So this
clever examiner changed the line to
read "as drunk as a heaven."
The penalty for disobeying the ex?
aminer is a fine of $250, which may be
levied on any person connected with
the forbidden performance?callboy as
well as star.
Strange Freak of Fate.
Says the Portland Oregoninn: "It i?
the belief of some historians that the
name 'Oregon' is Aragon In disguise,
that it was given to this country by
the early Spanish voyagers and thai
American explorers so interpreted the
word given them by the Indians. The
theory is at least plausible and indi*
cates a strange freak of fate. The
name Spain proadly brought to thil
distant coast returned to the West In?
dies 301) years later to destroy the
power of Spain on the seas! Littk1
thought De Fuca when be sighted this
coast in 1502 that some day It would
build a worship which, under the name
of Aragon, or Oregon, would be fore?
most In the battle that marked the end
of Spain's dominion ID the new world."
