A THREATENED CALAMITYl
The Democratic mob at Chicago
has done what was expected of
-them. Disregarding all restraint' of
reason, they allowed themselves to
1 be swayed by the impassioned oratory
of a demagogical speaker, and while
under the spell of his magic wand
chose him as their candidate.
The" nomination of Bryan is one
of the phenomena ' of .American po
. : .Hies. A" week ago he was hardly
..' spoken of as a presidential possibil
. ity. Now he is the leader, named in
a. convention amidst the scenes of
- wildest enthusiasm. . His success
means the widest schism in the party
whose ostensible candidate he is.
Bryan represents the free silver idea
in all its wildness.' ' lie is an ephem
eral" creature, gifted in speech, with
.- little or no experience in statecraft
.and bcund to a, single idea. He is
- spoken of as the "boy orator," and
such a designation probably is a com
plete one, ; --
- - The convention whose work is just
tended was one of the most remarka
ble which ever gathered on Ameri-
, can soil. Its actions were controlled
. by men of mediocre ability, igno
rant of the fundamental principles of
government, and wedded to all man-
ner of pernicious doctrine. Altgeld,
the anarchisf, Tillman, the agitator, J
ana uryan, me demagogue, were
. fitting -- specimens of an ungainly
gang. The ease with which' the del
- egatesf allowed themselves to be bam
boozled into voting for a man
simply 'because he was a smooth
talker shows of what weak stuff they
are made.'
. - Compare a man like Bryan with
McKinley! The one a Western
shouter for free silver, inexperienced,
a man of moment, -who flickers in the
sunlight acd passes in the night; the
. - ...
other patriotic soldier, .a learned
statesman, who, through long years
of labor mastered the principles and
intricacies ; of , statesmanship, and
brings to his present position a mind
well trained and a character well
rounded. ' Bryan ; and McKinley 1

alleys and low, places between First
and Second , streets. ' The - present
condition is a menace to health, a
breeder of disease, and some move
should be made immediately tow
ards a change for the better. -The
committee of the council on health
and, police, who as a rule are not
overworked , to any great extent,
would do well to give this subject, a
thorough investigation and decide
what means are the besffor the erad
ication of the evil.
..ington, Jefferson and Lincoln, what
,v is the country coming to? ' It is bad
enough that an able, conscientious,
but mistaken Demociat like Grover
: Cleveland should occupy the presi
; dential chair; but when an untamed
, , upstart like Bryan is named as a
J fitting - successor to the long line of
' distinguished, presidents, the , oon
. trast is painf ul. . 1- '
. Let us hope that the Almighty in'
; his wisdom will put forth his hand
:and stay the threatened calamity.
' called upon, to administer a deserved
rebuke, now is the time. The Dem
ocratic candidates ana platform rep
resent principles inimical to the wel
. fare of the nation. They should be
taught a lesson next November that
wilt linger . long in memory. Under
? . an avalanche of votes should Bryan
and bis platform be buiied.
: '-..- THE CONTRAST.-
From nov till next November
every Republican should have his
armor on. - A contest is being waged
between ' the forces of commercial
prosperity and commercial dishonor.
The future of. America depends on
which way the election turns. The
humorous part of the campaign will
be brought out as usual. Cartoons
ot candidates and politicians ' will '.
cause the comic papers to sell. Pro
fessional jokers will portray the ec
centricities and incongruities of our
political life. The demagoene will
stalk abroad in- the land and make
hr.rangues, from the emptiness of
which it might be surmised that
there are no great questions before
the nation. . -
But there are. The Democratic
party is making an insidious attack
upon the nuances of the country.
ine free coinage of silver means
nothing less than universal disaster.
Government cannot legislate the price
of wheat; neither can it decree the
worth of silver. Every argument
that can be advanced for the free
coinage of silver applies as well to
the free coinage of iron or horsehide.
The advocates of silver show how
weak" is their foundation when they
lose all reason under the Bound of
bombastic words. Should Brj'an
be elected, this country would pass
through a period of darkness which
the shadows of the war could not ex
ceed. ; Every honest, thoughtful
American should look upon the com
ing . election as one of the most mo
mentous in our history.
. Not being content with the at
tempt, to overturn our finances, the
Democratic party makes war upon
our industrial system. It prefers
the laborer of Europe to the toiler of
America.. It would rather see. the
American farmer suffer for wanSof a
home market than see him sell his
products at a fair figure.
The Democratic party has had
career of uselessness ana incompe
tence ; but it never in its worst mo.
ments sought to do such things as it
is attempting now. Instead of the
party of Jefferson, Jackson and Til
den, it has become the home of an
archism, fanaticism and freaks.
: , All. is not serene in the camp of
the Populists. The nomination of
Bryan meets with great fa vor among
the rank and file of the party, since
Bryan is to all intents and purposes
a Populist. His indorsement, then,
by the St. Louis convention would
be acceptable to many in the party.
Some of the leaders, however, are ob
jecting.' To Peffer of Kansas such
a course is especially offensive", and
there are others of like prominence
who entertain similar views.
The Populists arc in an embarrass
ing position. Their stock in trade is
free silver, and they are pledged to
secure this- : realization by any
means supposedly uonoraoie. in
no other way can they do so much
for silver as by advocating the elec
tion of Bryan, who is silver clear
through. To refuse to indorse
Bryan would be laying the party
open, to the charge of insincerity in
their advocacy of silver.
On the other hand, an indorse
ment of Bryan would be a compro
mise of the position which the Popa
Jists have assumed towards the old
parties.. . , -'
The corruption of other organiza
tions is a favorite theme for Popu
list orators to grow eloquent over.
They have declared that neither of
the great parties are fit to trust with
the government of the nation, and
that the only safe course to pursue is
to give the Populisls an unlimited
lease, of power." For them to in
dorse the nomination of Bryan would
be to turn back upon all previous
declarations and abandon one of the
chief tenants of their belief.
The Populist party is between the
devil and the sea.- It would be bet
ter for the country if it should be
consumed by the one or swallowed
by the other. ;
"The Scteace of Art."
' Oregon knows how it feels to have
a '. candidate, for ' tbe presidency.
, There have been abler men in the
state than Pennoyer,but it remains for
him to bring fame to Oregon as the
mother ; stale of a presidential aspir
ant. V Pennoyer's ten . votes will
"cause no harm, but "will make the
Democrats of Oregon feel immensely
: tickled. '.' "; .

The Democratiq party has named
a man for the presidency because he
is. a good talker. Whether or not he
has been schooled in public life or
shows evidence of executive ability
is a matter of no consideration. He
is a whooper up; a dealer in rhetoric;
man of gesture and dramatic effect
These make up Bryan, and they are
all he is. And j'et the American
r - .
people are asked to choose such a man
as their chief magistrate in prefer
ence to a statesman like Governor
McKinley, who served many years in
congress learning the ins and outs of
national . legislation ; who ruled a
great state as its chief officer for four
yeais, ana who has reached an age
in ' life where he is steadfast in pur
pose and possesses training and abil
ity to penetrate the truth, no matter
how darkly hid. The nomination of
Bryan is a travesty upon American
statesmanship. - '
The . free silver man admits that
the commercial ratio of silver to
gold is 32 to 1, and yet he wants the
me.tals coined at 16 to 1. Why not
carry the process farther and make
it 10 to l, or 1 to 1.' Legislation
can do as much towards establishing
one permanent ratio as another, and
if it is debased currency we wantj
let us not stop half way,
One thing has been determined be
yond further questioning, and that
is Chicago's superiority over every
other '; places as a convention city.
There will be ,no name but Chicago
mentioned four years frcm now.
The mistake of an engineer caused
the disaster near Logan, Nebraska,
where- twenty eight people were
killed ; and ' over fifty wounded.
Few callings in life carry with
them the responsibility like that
of. the railroad engineer, and the
wonder is that there are not more
accidents upon our great railways.
There seems no excuse for the error
of the engineer in this instance, and
whether his days be many or few, he
can be nothing else 'than a self-ac
cused destroyer of human life. The
engineer in the cab and the train
dispatcher in the office hold in their
hanrfc the lives entrusted to them.
A traveler who in safety reaches his
journey's end little thinks of the care
and vigilance it has taken to accom
plish such an end.' " '.
Mr. Edwards Davis lectured to a fair
eized audience at the Christian church
last 4 night, his subject being "The
Science of Art." Though the lecturer
baa scarcely more than reached man's
estate, tbe lecture reveals the pleasing
lac til ties of the trained reasoner. Those
who listened carefully to the poetry of
his words, bis most effective delivery,
his grace and oratory, were for the time
transmigrated to a world apart from the
day's humdrum existence, and in this
new sphere were enabled to grasp and
retain many beautiful thoughts, which,
like a rapidly-shifting panorama, were
exposed to fleeting view by the marvel
ous word-picture artist before them. A
listener's mind, unused to such intel
lectual feasts as spread bv Davis, is in a
somewhat dazed condition at its con
clusion. A surfeit of beautiful thoughts
leaves the intellect drunken with a
stupefying though ecstatic pleasure, a
disordered frame of mind in which be
does not know, whether to approve or
condemn, but indubitably good for the
soul for having once been lifted from tbe
dead level of everyday influences.
' Mr. Davis possesses much dramatic
Lability ; he is a natural actor and has the
soul of a poet. He apostrophized a field
daisy in a most remarkable manner, ex
periencing tbe gamut of eeusations from
pleased appreciation to passionate ad
miration and awe ' over itaj wonderful
mechanism and its Maker. He divides
the arts into periods of time, assigning
each a certain location First was archi
tecture, next came sculpture; next -paint
ing, next music, next poetry, and last
will come oratory. - . ";
The present age he believes the cnl
minating one for poetry, and assigns a
higher plane for Longfellow, Tennyson,
Bryant, Swinburne, James Whitcomb
Riley and all, than for Homer,' Dante,
Milton and Shakespeare. The later
poets write of human experiences; the
older ones of mythical and allegorical
sabjects which humanity cannot sense
nor feel. The age to come, of which we
are just on 'the eve, is one of oratory,
There exists a necessity for powerful
speakers, which can sway the mnlti
tudes. The speaker did not intimate
the cause in which they will be de
manded, nor the issue to be decided
He must, however, know that his lec
ture is incomplete and leavej the mind

ward into Morrow and Umatilla coun
ties they assume-a different tone. Ia
Morrow county the grain has , undoubt
edly burnt considerably and spring grain
much of it, is. being cot for hay. In
Umatilla county the result seems to de
pend upon tha future character of the
weather. Should cloudy weather and
rain occur, a correspondent states, the
crops wonld not be damaged. The ex
pected and desired rain has occurred and
the weather has become decidedly cooler.
This : may be a relief to the situation
though the' rain was light. Sonth'and
east of the Blue mountains, and -especially
in .Union county, the' grain
crops will be especially good. - The
warm weather was .frequently in
terrupted during the week by thun
der f storms from which considerable
rain resulted. At Union, Union county, j
a thunder storm occurred on Thursday,
which was attended by heavv rain and
bail sufficient to wash ont gardens and
darnage tbe fruit; some grain was also
tangled' An exceptionally good crop of
cereals will be harvested in the Grand
Eonde valley. .Farmers are making
good progress with haying. A fair crop
will be secared. The first crop of al
falfa is being cut. All crops are matur
ing nicely and rain is not - specially
needed. Present prospects give promise
of plenty of fruit. - Cherries are ripening
and are quite abundant in market.
There is plenty of water for irrigation.
All kinds of stock are doing well. Shear
ing is over and most of the wool has
been hauled to the, railroad. Active
preparations are being made for harvest,
which, owing to the warm weather, will
soon be at hand. -.- , -

Democratic papers as they swallow
the nomination of Bryan. It is an
unpalatable dose, and may prove' in
digestible after taken. ' "
It's an old saying "The proof of the

is because people have taken Simmons

a most excellent medicine and especially
for tbe Spring and Fall when there is so

J. H. A CO., Philadelphia; Pa."", f
Some of the very brightest minds and
ablest BcholaTe are tramping along tbe
railroads, riding on tbe trucks of box
cars iu an aimless, useless existence
which is ehamefvjl. A few nights ago a
email andience was observed listening
to a stranger on tbe street addressing
them. -The writer was attracted by the
beautifully - modulated voice before be
could distinguish the words. Stepping
up within range of his voice, be was de
lighted to hear one of tbe prettiest im
promptu dissertations on tbe science of
life ever produced bv tongue or pen.
Night had settled upon the- city and in
the qnasi-darkness neither bis features
nor apparel could be noted with any de
gree of accuracy. At the conclusion of
his address a collection was. taken np by
a yonnger companion and the small
crowd thoughtfully dispersed The ob
server, pleased with the fragment "of the
speech he bad heard, stepped np to him
and addressed him. A short converea
tion ensued, and a small number of
people began again to cluster about him,
when the ' nlghtwatchman happened
along, and not appreciating tbe
situation, ordered tne fellow to move
on. He replied ' most conrteously and
prepared to follow the officer's com'
mand with no show of anger or surprise.
Tbe observer invited him within doors
and discovered, when ' the room was
Llighted, he was in rags. '.
"You seem bo prised," said the va
grant. ."I am a gentlemen of education
and refinement, yet you see me tonight
in rags without money enough to pur
chase my lodging and breakfast.'' He
then went on to explain that he could get
no kind of employment, and that he was
compelled to follow the road and do as
the officer had. so a little time previ
ously ordered, "move ou." In : his
travels he had met another in the same
predicament, bat yonnger and not so
able to care for himself. He decided
therefore on reaching The Dalles to make
an open air speech on the steets, the first
he ever delivered outside of a hall, hop
ing that.he could get a collection large
enough to pay for lodging and breakfast
for tbe two.. Tbe collection he admitted
amounted to 35 cents. When asked
where he was going, he replied he was
en route to some educational institution
in Montana, where he hoped to secure a
position as an instructor in Greek and
Latin and other, higher studies that
might be demanded.
