It It will soon be difficult to find a re publican statesman who he not been mentioned for tbe vice presidential nom ination . Henna It about the only on who has sicapvd that tort of notoriety to ir. . . . . The republican etiuatora tm deter mined to deliberately break the platform pledge o( their part; in favor of recipro city, end thereby to practically admit that it weslframed to deceive the people and not to act nudrr. In other worda the party will pat op theiold etreet car algn: "Please don't stand oo the plat form. It ieonly meant to get in on.' A decision of Chief Juilice ' Marrhalt hat beu found lu which he stales that the United States meant 'ail territory Over which the United States exeroless control." 1'his certainly includes the rbilppinee and all the other islands. Why watn't Roberts bom in Sulu? Thtn the admlolerratfon m'glt be pay iog bim a ealary to maintain hit harem, inetead of trying to drive bim from pub lie life while it appelate hie co-polyga-mttte postmasters. Presideut Kiuger it more taiittled than ever that the Lord ie on hie tide. It cer laloly ie tke Lord'e side, for it ie the tide of Justice against Greea. The Democrat will lose no volte on account of tilver thie vear. It will be impoetible to, work op to much excite meat again, and the psstsgs of the gold bill pute the question out of practical politics for tonr sears, anyhow. Eat It will gain the votet of all the anti-expat- ion Osrmaaa and friih .tad that meant thoaa of practLally all of both aces. It eeemi that Montague White, who was supposed to visit Washington at zent of the Boer government, bat no credentials at such. But the admioia tration, believing that be bad, elearly bowed ite enbserviency to Great Brit ain by refuting to receive him before it wat asked to do to. The democratic eenatore and repr- sentativee got together on the occasion of Mr. Bryan'e visit to Washington, and agreed to a definite Philippine policy to bo pursued until the national conven tion. Ite principal tenets are the sup pression of the rebellion, organization of a republic, withdrawal of the army, abandonment of sovereignty, and tub' titution or a protectorate, retention of coaling stations, and repayment by the Filipino of the 20,o;0,000 paid for the islands. , , . ... , about t' a blggeet thing about the Clark investigation ie the witoeat tee that will be paid Montana men who have bad a nice jaunt to Washington at the government's expense. The battle of 8pionkou wat one of the bloodiest on record, the English losing the enormous peicentageol 40 of her sol diert in the engagement. With two Governore both claiming the office Kentucky is in a Hate of Anarchy, A patriotic spirit at such a time would ealy settle the troublo. Sam J. Tllden, who waa once elected president accepted the decision of the returning boaid, a unjust at it wat. Here is in opportunity (or a like patriotic spirit. The Journal f Eugsae save Soma people are flattering themselves with the idea that ex-Senator Mitchell Is out ot politics. He bat been la poll tics all his lite and will never be out, li be ceo get In, as long as hs lives. It Is now certain as anything In the . futurs en be that II the republicans eontrul tbs legislature the Mitchell, McBtlde, Fulton (action will be In saddle, the same as they were in the last stats convention ptooauiy more so. loo men who are now being slated for.the legislature in Eastern and Western Oregon, outside ol Portland, "on local issue, the silver question being dead," s they say, are, almost without exception, Mitchell men. They will nearly every one be nominat ed. It may be true tbat Mitchell is not and will not be an avowed candidate, but he will be the choice ol that over McBrlde, Hermann, Fulton, Tongue or any ot the boys who are whooping np the party. lie is the ml Mark Banna favorite, who can be counted on to go the whole bog every time aad change at often as "the party" otangM its plat form. No better representative of the up-to-date-anythlng-to-catch-votri par ty can be lound from bead to (ail Aside from this and nearly all success lui politicians from top to bottom are the same he has been an active and useful teuator." ,.wi)t(flijweiw SATURDAY NIGHT THOUGHTS Since our latt Ittue particulars have corns ot one of the fiercest battles In re cent years, that of Bpionkop, In which the English lost forty per cent of the men engaged In It. Four men were killed where six cams out alive from the terrific thower ot bulletiitnd by the steady nerved Doer-.?, And wl.tt ie all ihit slaughter tor in this civilised age of tbe world wben the white . mantle of peace should enshroud tbe world. A'l tor greed on the one tide and for freedom ' on the other. Others may stand where they please but the writer is on ths side ot freedom, consistent with hie eltlsen ship in a frse country. . SOCIAL AND PERSONAL i It looks rety much as it Senator Clark cf Montana bought his way in'o the Sen ate. It he did he should be ousted While the government it at it it bad bet ter oust teveral desen othera who did the same thing It it a notoriont fact tbat more than half of the U. 3. senators bny their way into that bodr. The very fact ot the enormoae wealth of tbe members cirenmstantial evidence that way The fact the England displayed a spir it of frieudliness towards tbe United states during tbe Spaulth and Philip p.ne ware it no excuse at all for a rest dent of this republic supporting England n ah unjust war agalntt a sister repob- ie. England's friendliness to the Unit ed States at a matter of fact wat a selfish one looking more to her own Intereets than to ours. Put a tcrew in the fact that when England acts in International matters it Is purely for greed, merely step in the advancement of ber intereets, aod that was tbe essence ot ber friendll nete. We appreciate it, nevertheless, Let's pnt tbem all out aod begin over and in a general way, aad particularly a Count Boui do Castellane baa shaken hit fist across the Atlantic at the editor of the Figaro end threatened to cane bim. Tbeedi'or retorted tbat Count Boni is talking through bis bat or worda to mat effect, rrelty soon now we ball have tbe ntnal French duel with words at a quarter of a mile. Honor will be satisfied and the count will blow in rome more of Papa-iu-law 3oold millions. Last years statistics showed tbat tbe population of London, which is conceded to have the grealeet population, is 4,184, 717. For evry 1,000 inhabitants there number of infants who died in their first year waa 158 for every 1,000 births. Dar ing the pariod extending from 1887 to 1896 the mortality wae lower than in Paria, Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin and Copenhagen ; but in 1837 it increased to inch an extent tbat it ie now very little lower than tbat of most European cit ie Democratic charges that tbe President bad knowingly appointed polygamist to omce, appear only too well founded. Tbe Poet Office department bas been forced to admit that it bad received petitione against tbe appointments de tailing tbe facts ender oath, and bad filed them away with merely a formal acknowledgement of tbeir receipt. Tbe Secretary to tbe President baa admitted tbat be received I such petitions and merely patted tbem on without leonsid eration. Tbe attitude of the President and bis advisers was clearly one of in difference as to whether the mm he se lected for important posts were violating fie law or not. Senator latt , of New York, wants an international commission to investigate tbe effect of the diversion of the wafers of tbe Great Lakes on the em-rounding count 7. Tbe Chicago river is not men tioned, but the bill ia clearly aimed at that stream. Sanalor Piatt's interest in the matter is not clear. again by permitting the people to do the electing.

Michael Bxeendorl t lo ieper deuce, who recently committed suicide in Ba ker City wrote a very touching letter to tbe Rev. Mr. Bell telling bim what to do with his body. The concluding para graph contains a warning and a moral that should not b lost tight of by yonog men, and by parents. He said: 'Now, Bro. Bell, be easy on mo for old acquaintance sake and see to it tbat my request is fulfilled. Tell Joe to give yon $2.25, mv wife will fav bim back.
