There were a number of excellent speeches made, but as no manuscripts had been prepared and your represen tative was kept busy writing out the report of other doings and making a list of the people present, who were known to him, and was himself down for a speech, no full report of nny of the speeches will be attempted. Fol lowing portions of the address delivered by The Journal editor is published not "by request" or for any excuse whatever, but because it contains ideab for the best interest of the people that as a rule receive not enough attention from the press and orators of Oregen: FROM ADDRESS OF E. HOFER. A demagogue Is a being exercising the functions of citizenship but who has no political ideas of his own. If he adopts any he is willing to waive them-in deference to what he supposes to be a popular sentiment. As a stump speaker once said: These, fellow citi zens, are my sentiments: If they do uot suit you they can be changed. Ar temus Ward once asked a man what his principles were. "Principles," said he. "I have not got any. 1 am In the hotel business." He was a type not of landlord, but of demagogue. It Is not necessary to be a demagogue to succeed at any business, whether it be hotel keeping or politics. The editor and the laudlord both make a business of euter tainlnc the publio composed of all classes of people. They need not force their views obnoxiously upon anyone, but tbey can and should have opinions and principles as well as other people. But there are more demagogues aud there is more of demagogery in politics than many are aware. I lived at one time in a state where prohibition of the liquor traffic was carried by a large pop ular vote. Men who had never dreamed of doing such a thing at once became avowed prohibitionists. Men beciin" prohib'tlon senators, governors, and state and county officers who had taken their drinks nil their llvej and wiiat is more did not change their habits when they experienced a change of heart.

The people of Salem should remember that the success of the fair will be largely do to the eflorts of the regular newspapers of the city, and If they want some special advertising for the occasion tbey should reserve their patronage for the homo papers. There is no law against outsiders working the Salem advertising flokl, but good sense says to the home merchants, "Go slow." They will stick to their friends. the home papers, who serve the city's interest the year round. J. C. Cooper, manager of the county fruit union, is actively preparing for a county exhibit at the state fair, Ar rangements so far made contemplate cither one or two designs, One is that of a well curb composed entirely of fruit, for which Mr. Goetzman, the Nevvberg canueryman, oilers to fur nish one thousand jars of canned arti cle; the other is a elder arch from -vliich a bucket of free elder will be kept hanging and the beverage will be drawn through an apple faucet at one end of the arch.

THEY BRAVELY MIGHT IE Ml llcsulting In Immediate Deatb to Mair. 71' Seattle, Aug. 25.--A terrific explo- slon of gas occurred in breast No. 92 on the sixth level of tho Franklin coal mine at Franklin, twenty miles from this city yesterday afternoon. Sixty- two miners were imprisoned and thirty seven were killed, Tiie remainder es caped. The lire was s6on extinguished and the work of taking out bodies be gan. About half the, miners were negroes, having been brought from the East four years ago to replace strikers. The mine is owned by the Oregon im provement company and product 8 the best coal in the state of Washington. The damage to the mine Js not large. When the Ure was noticed by some of the drivers on the sixth north level and notice was given to the men inside, who were workiug in diflerent places, some in tho breast above the level and others along the gangway. As soon af it was known that there was a Are, many of the men in the gangways rushed back to notify the miners furthei In, while others rushed out and reached the main shaft. It is certain that nil the men in the breasts reached the gangway In safety. In nil about sev enty men were at work in the sixth level north, and of that number about forty lingered at breast six, where the fire originated, and made an attempt to put it out. The breast was burning fiercely and before the minors knew it, the fire bad communicated to breasts sixty and sixty-one and smoke begsn to issue from breast sixty-one in that immediate vicinity. Several of those who lingered at burning breast sixty two took warning and lied, but ail wto remained were overcomo and asphyx iated. It is evident that all men had time to escape, for those at work in the fur ther breast reached the shaft in safety, while those who were ntarest tho shaft and consequently more removed from the danger, perished. Tbey evidently believed tbey were in perfect safety at the fire, but while tbey lingered smoke oozed out from some outside place fur ther south and the bodies were all found south of breast sixty-two. They were all found within a space of 600 feet. Several men were badly bruised and one colored man was taken out with a broken neck, tbolr wounds indi cating tbey bad thrown tbenvelves against the posts and the timbers of the gangways in a wild and desperate endeavor to escape. But a majority of the bodies bear no marks at all, not even a scratch, and their featured were in quiet repose, indicating that their deatb bad been speedy and painless. Two Suicides.
