Tho democratic party now bope lessly in tho throes of final dissolu tion its frail bark has gono to pieces on the free-trade reef; its passengers aro sticking ont for any object that seems to offer escape from drowning. Quite a number are wolimbing on board of that crazy fishing smack "free Biher." The larger portion, however, have gone aboard the life boat which will doubtless make port in safety or be picked np by those staunch old ships, "Constitution," "Protection" and ''Sound Mono," commanded by Harrison, McKiiiley and Heed. Times are improving and business all over the country seems to be in creasing, and democrats are endeav oring to create the impression that it is all owing to the tariff policy of tho democratic party, They seem to ignore tho fact, that the resources of the country are of great magnitude, and that it is impossible that de pression of business can continue for any groat length of time. They also seem to be uuaware of the fact that the people are be coming hopeful uf soon restoring the republican party to power, and thereby bringing order ont of chaos, and again establishing that policy of protection lo home indusliy, which prevailed prior to the ascendancy of the democratic party to power, and wuicu poncy gave ns me most pros perous period in the history of out country. Protection to home indus try ana republicanism are Bjnono- mons terms, and both signify love of country, prosperity and content ment to man in all the varied pur suits and occupations of life in this glorious land of on re. o do uot believe there is a tvurd of truth in the rumor that Colonel liofer intends to resign the editorial chair and enter the ministry. But if it should bo true, nil we have to say is that the newspaper world would lose a very good editor and the church reap a mighty poor minister. But come to think of it, the Colonel after all, knows a good deal about the ways of the "devil." Post. ltalph L. Knapp, editor of the Or egon Popnlist, is now a preacher. Ralph,- it is aid, wets onco a "devil,1 but is now a minister. This is i great country, wnen men can rise from the position of "devil" to that of minister. Salem Post.

The lull to disestablish the English church in AValea i". in line with the liberal mrtv s ttuie- honored jolicy, and Mr. Gladstone was chief vnginwr of the camraigti that re sulted in church disestablishment iu Ireland. His change of front at thin tinje out only m accounted for ly pre suming that as he draws nearer to the pearly gates he feels less inclined to in cur the wrath of any set of praying Christians. Telegram. Mr. Hermann of Oregon, who for years has leen a inemlerof the house committee on rivers and harlws, will prolwbly le the chairman of this most important committee on the next con gress.

Statesman In Hermann's hands. Oregon mav ex iect her usual blice of appropriation. Our dispatches today show that the Geirnan peoplo aro very much elated over tho opening of the great canal across the peninsula, Schlesatvig-IIolstcin, con necting Uie Baltic aeawitli the North sea. It is a matter of pride and Eclf-con-gratulation for any people to bo thus commercially benefitted by such Interna tional advantages. The United States ought to learn a lesson and construct the Nicarauguau canal at the earliest time practicable. A story is tc Id of one ol our big footed citizens, Ihuely: One evening he lay down on tho carpet with his feet to the tire and fell asleep. After a while he awoko and in tho dim firelight saw his feet, toes up, iu front of him. He cried cut to his twin babies that ho imagined stood iu front of him.

Graham was elected grand secretary of the grand lodge of Rebekahs. This makes three times in succession that Mrs. Graham has been elected to that office. That breaks the record. Mrs. Sol Abraham was elected a dele gate to the national convention of W. R. C, to convene at Louisville. Ky., next September. It Was a Great Mistake. The wool market report indicates a weakening instead of strengthening. One report says: "Prices cannot ad vance, as on a basis of 1 or 2 cents higher for scoured wools, a large quantity of foreign wools could be imported, which would prevent." We understood from the democratic press and slump speakers that all we needed to make a demand for onr wools was the free importation of foreign wools. Is it possicle that we were deceived? Fourth of July Excursions. The Southern Pacific Company has made the usual rate of one fare for the round trip to all points on Uieir lines for Independence day. nckeis win ue sold at luis rale on JoTy 3rd and the morning of July 4th and will be good to return nutil July Slh inclusive. The Union Pacific Blamed. Chicago, June 21. The Western lines are becoming uneasy over the excursion rates to Denver for the National Educa tional Association next month. There has alwaj a been a generous slashing of the agreed rate during the last few days preceding the annual convention of this organization, and all sorts of rumors are iloating around as to what will be done this year. An executive officer of one of the Eastern trunk lines wired to Chicago today that it was reported in Cincinnati, Indianapolis and other places that ex tensive cuts were being made in the rates and he wanted the truth about it, if the truth was obtainable. The general fear seems to be that the Union Pacific "has cut, will cut, or is getting ready to think about cutting the excursion rates to Den ver. TLe telegram had the effect of cre ating a large amount of suspicion on all sides, although nobody seems lo have any direct knowledge that the rates have been cut. There is no apparent reason of any sort why the Union Pacific should bo suspected of making auy reductions in passenger rates, except that it cut freight rates some days back, and that is no reason at all. Feared Indian Troubles. BKinoEroKT, Blaine couuty, Okla. Juno 21. The trouble at Arapahoe aris- ing out of the shooting of Red Lodge by Deputy Sheriff Burch is still intense Red Lodgo is still alive, but cannot live and tho Indians are muking threats lo be carried out when he dies. On the day of the shooting tho Indians were much ex cited and threatening, but were quieted by troop A, Third cavalry, Captain Mc- Kin, which is iu camp near town. The Indians sent couriers to Fort Reno and to the Kiowa reservation. If the whites can identify Red Lodgo as the man who assaulted Mrs. Hays they will hang him John Hansel, an educated Clieyeune Indian, said: "I fear my pcopie will rise against the white men. Tho whites have imiiosed upon Itiem beyond ndur- ance. I saw old Red Lodge at Watonga He said if his son died the Indian warriors would goon the warpath and wipe out tho people of Arapahoe." Asked how many warriors the Cheyenues had he said from 300 to 100, He said they were getting uo help from the Aarapaboes. but would from the Kiowas. The Grand Old flan. London, June 21. rhe government was defeated today oil tho motion of Uou William St. John F. Broderick, a conser vative member for the Guilford division of Surroy, lo reduce Ihe salary of 6ecre tary of war by C 1 00, on account of the alleged deficiency in the at my stores and munitions ot war. l lie motion was adopted ly a vole of 132 lo 123. Prog ress was immediately ioKited. Tomorrow's Irish Catholic will declare that tho rumor to the effect that Glad' stono wilt return to the house of com mons, is correct, and will add that he will lead the liberals at the next general election. His object is stated to be the carrying out of the home-rule measure, and thus tiimlly tettliug the national quarrel. Sugar has advanced under the Wilson. Gorman tariff. " 'Kali for free trade." AN AERIAL ELECTRIC KoKS. " The Rapid Transit Scheme Proposed by a aaa inociKo vapiraust. A railroad on wire. Such is tho scheme which D. B. P. Thomas, a San Francisco capitalist, now has on foot. Ho proposes to build what he calls an aerial road from San Francisco to Los Angoles up the cele brated San Joaquin valley. The cars will be suspended on cables and operat ed by electricity. They will run at the rate of 100 miles on hour. No grading will be necessary for the construction of this road, no ties, and no rails, no bridges and no fencing in of track. No section gang will be required in its maintenance. It will, so its projector thinks, be the first road in America to bo absolutely free from smashnps. The cars can's collide head on because the road 9 double track, and they can t be tele scoped because, by a simple little meek anism, if one train comes too close ie) another the electricity is shut out No obstructions or blockades can interfere with its running. The cars cannot junip tno trade vine wear and tear oa its mechanism and rolling stock is compar atively slight It costs from one-third to two-thirds less to construct and maintain than any other kind of rail road. It almost solves the question of tho right of way. The road may be quickly constructed and will be sightly when finished. This new railroad is not the invention of the capitalist but of his blind broth er. "He planned it all out in his dark ness," says Mr. Thomas, "and yon will see, ono of these days, that it is such a perfectly feasible and admirable plan that it will one day supersede the but faco roads, both in the city and in the country. "The cheapness of construction and the high rato of speed attainable by such a railway are of course its main ad vantages. As far as speed is concerned, it is now only a question of atmospberio resistance. And this natural factor can bo largely overcome by constructing the cars either cone shaped or with pointed ends like the prow of a boat But. that of course is an after consideration,, and no such device will bo needed to attain a speed, say, of 100 miles an hour. And such a rate can be maintained easily and with entire comfort aud safety to the passengers in this midair railway. There can be no obstructions on the track, for there is no track, and no snows or washouts can retard the trains. There are no dirt and dust or smoke and soot to make traveling a hardship,- no jarring and rumbling aud ear splitting noises to make one deaf." Concerning the motive power, Mr. Thomas believes that we shall eventual ly find a force superior to electricity that is, compressed air, the possibilities of which, Mr. Thomas declares, areas yet but little known. "My plan, " says Mr. Thomas, "wowd be to build compressed air tanks ales; tne road in tno country where truss could stop for a moment or two and re cu cerate the motive budoIv. I am eatis- ned mat in tne ena compressed air wcnia bo cheaper and more satisfactory than electricity." The road will bo elevated from 10 to 20 feet above the ground, according to tho requirements of the grade -and whether the road be passing through the country or the city. Tfce cars will be considerably smaller and Lighter than the present railway cars now in use They will be lighted by electricity and heated in this way also, and, for that matter, could easily have telegraph communication all the time with the outside world. The California idea does' not vary in its essental particulars from two rapid transit systems which were exhibited at the World's fair. One of these, known as tho Cook system, proposed to have cars suspended from a single track, placed at tho top of a series of poles. Tho idea wa3 that the cars were to be somewhat in the shape of a present rail way car cut lengthwise in twain. One set would move in one direction on one side of the pole, and the other set on the other side in the opposite direction. This was an invention of L. D. Cook of Tacoma, who constructed a trial track on the outskirts of Tacoma and claimed to have run his cars successfully at tho rate of 100 miles an hour. The only difference between tho Cook system and the Thomas plan is that the latter would suspend the cars from a se ries of cables instead of from an iron track. Electricians believe that some such elevated or suspended railway ope rated by electricity will soon supplant our present surface roads. They believe the day is not far distant when it will bo possible to make tho trip from Bos ton to New York, or from New York to Washington, in less than two hours, from New York to Chicago in less than nine hours, and clear across the conti nent in a single 24 hour day. The most wonderful part of all this is that they insist that these electrical railroads can be built so as to run trains at 100 to ISO miles an hour, with far greater safety, comfort, easo and far less expense than tho steam roads, which nuw make not much over 50 miles an hour. They hold jufc tho prospect that so cheap will rail road traveling become when these sus pensory roads are constructed and in operation that ono will be able to travel from New York to Chicago for a matter of $0 or $6, and clear across the conti nent for perhaps not more than 25. Costly Flowers. Tho two most costly blossoms this winter havo been without doubt, the American Beauty rose and the pink or chid. Tho former has a standing Value of from $1.50 to $3 for a perfect speci men. Yet it has been not uncommon to eo these luxuries decking large man sions on festivo occasions', 200 and 300 in each room, and the pale loveliness ind less substantial beauty of the orchid used no less lavishly. The amount of money each of these flowers represents in its circulating power does as much good as sending checks to relief organi sations. Baltimore Sun. It is not astonishing to rind ex-Governor Boies, of Iowa, shrieking for free silver. He has profited by opportunism. It was a cowardly straddle of the prohi bition question by the Iowa republicans that enabled him to get the governor ship, and in the free-silver craze that now divides that party he proluibly per ceives another opportunity by which he may advance his personal" interests. The rare enough sound-money demo crats in Iowa, however, to kdk the littlo game that Mr. Boies is playing anil keep hint in tho ranks of theiiasbeens. Tele gram.
