CAPLES ; Multnomah " is immaterial,' in my judgment, whether the sheep grower receives any ben efit from the tariff or not. - Wliether he does or does not, I am for free wool." Extract from speech of Wil liam J. Bryan in the house of representa tives when the Wilson bill was under con sideration. Every day or so come telegraphic reports of the formation of a Japan ese steamship line, with Portland as its eastern terminus. Portland's new steamship lines are a good deal like the Cascade Jocks something of a myth. There is a union of all the forces for the free coinage of silver. There should be a like union of the sound money believers.' Patriotism shojld be above party considerations. " AN INDISCREET CLAIM. It is the height of indiscretion, sa3's the Telegram, for the Demo- . Populist reanngers m this state to provoke a ventilation of young Mr. Bryan's tariff record. The claim that he is a "moderate protectionist" was put forth fo catch' the support of those voters who favors free silver and are opposed to free trade, but it has simply started an investigation which is bound to lead to a contrary result There is one point on which the Intelligent Republicans and Demo crats of Oregon agree, and that is the desirability of having the wool industry stimulated and made profit able by repealing the act which re duced the price of the product from 34 cents a pound to 17 cents within twelve mouths and shrunk its aggre gate value from $70,000,000 to $35, 000,000. Everyone knows that the production of wool was one of Ore gon's chief sources of income until the passage of that act paralyzed it, and everyone knows that a repeal of that act would be a blessing for the state. An investigation of the Congressional Record reveals the .fact that Congressman Bryan was one of the most earnest advocates of that act In a speech delivered by him in the house of representatives on March 19, 1892, he said: The bill under consideration pro vides for admitting free of duty wool , and those associated articles which we know as raw material in the woolen industry. The reason why I believe in putting raw material on the free list is because any tax im posed upon raw material must at last be taken from the consumer of the manufactured article. Mr. Chair man, upon what ground is this pro- tcction to the woolgrowers asked ? Is it because of the importance of the industry? The gentleman from Maine, Mr. Dingley, said that it was one of the most universal of all the industries of the' farm, and when I tried to call his attention to the fact .that only a small proportion of our people own sheep, he did not care to be further interrupted. Much more did young Mr. Bryan say in advocacy of the proposition to strike down the American sheep in dustry, but enough ' is quoted from the official report to prove that he was not then n. "mnderate nrntontinn ist, wnatever his tariff views may be at the present time. Better would it be for the Popo- cratic and Populist generals of this state if they were to keep young Mr. Bryan's tariff record as far in the background as they can shove it. They may assert that the slump in wool is due to the increased pur chasing price "of the dollar, but no intelligent man will believe that. Nor would such an assettioa prove the boy orator of the Platte a "mod erate protectionist" AGAINST' CIVIL SERVICE FORM, RE- The average annual revenue under the McKinley law was $183,000,000 ; ' The Democratic convention which nominated Mr. Bryan for the presi dency did so many eccentric things that the public hns hardly had time to consider them all, One of the most important of these is the dec laration which the platform makes I against civil service reform. The words read : . , "We are opposed to life tenure in tne public service, we ravor ap pointments based upon merit, fixed terms of office, and such an adminis tration of the civil service laws as will afford equal opportunities to all citizens of ascertained fitness." The "ascertained fitness" undoubt edly means political ' faithfulness and an ability to corral votes. - The demand for civil service re form has been pressed since the ad ministration of President Hayes, who manifested an earnest desire to ex tend the beneficent scope of its work ings. Through succeeding adminis trations the number of employes placed under the civil servicelaw has been steadily increased, but a few months ago an order being is sued by President Cleveland placing 30,000 government emplojres beyond reach of partisan dismissals. Pres idents Hayes, Garfield, Arthnr,Cleve land and Harrisom continuously expressed themselves in favor of this reform, and it waits for the beard less Mr. Bryan to declare in Delphic language:. 'Tley complain about the plank which declares against the life tenure in office. What we op pose in that plank is the life tenure j that is being built up in Washington, which excludes from participation in the benefits the humbler members of our society." Another of his indefi nite, inconcise phrasings. To intelligent people there is no need of argument in behalf of civil service reform. The advancement which already has been made by re cent administrations, resulting in in creased ability in the conduct of public routine, has shown that the sooner civil service reform is made universal in the departments of our national government, where no views of policj govern, the better it will be. Mr. Bryan's idea is that every de partment clerk in Washington should loose his place as the head of the ad ministration cnanges. touch a views belongs rather to the peanut politi cian than to an intelligent statesman. Bryan staads before the country as the candidate of three parties the Democratic, the Populist and ih& National . Silver . inrty. The - last named is of little consequence as a political organization, and its aims and objects are included in the plat forms of the other two. The declaration of principles which the Democratic convention enunci ated has rightly been considered as carrying with it anarchistic tenden cies, but bad 'as it is, it does not go to the extent of the Populist plat form. The two platforms agree as to free silver, but the Populists go farther and demand a sufficient in crease of the circulating medium to "restore the just level of prices and labor." That would mean an ab normally large issue of paper money or depreciated coin, which are, other names for inflation, and inflation means wholesale robbery and ulti mate bankruptcy. It is a reckless policy and would not only cover us with shame before other nations, but bring a series of disasters upon us, destroying a confidence in our finan cial system which would bring about its overthrow. Nothing worse could befall a nation than to break down its resiiect. for commercial and finan cial integrity. . The Populists .demand the govern ment ownership and control of rail wavs and ' telegraphs a proposal which would involve serious consid erations and extend paternalism in government .to a dangerous degree. They declare for an income tax and denounce the adverse decision of the supreme court "an arraignment of j one of the most respectable tribunals in the civilized world by a popular assembly led by turbulent spirits, en titled of course to have an opinion on such a profound subject, but not entitled to command respect for it;" and they condemn the bond issues as unnecessay and without author ity. The Populists seek little less than a revolution, and they seek to tie the hands of the United States courts so that the men who lead in the riots might be placed beyond their juris diction, f The Democratic platform is bad enough, but the Populist is far worse and this is the platform upon which Bryan stands. Will these dangerous doctrines by accepted by the Ameri can people? Not unless the majority is bereft of common sense. THE CITY COUNCIL. Hare Hon to Be PurchasedConfirma tion of W. H. Bttta. NOBODY IN NEED OF WORK. The Astoria Road Contractors Get Enonrh Laborers. Cannot There is plenty of work at Astoria. The Oregonian today says : ' Mr. Hugh Glenn, of the contracting firm of Honeyman, DaHart & Glenn, who is constructing a portion of the Astoria-Goble railroad, is at the St. Charles. He has juat returned from. Seattle, where he went to employ labor- era. He wants 300 more men. princi pally axnien and station men, bat finds it hard to secure them. 'I have advertised for men," he said, "and pay.them $1.50 per day, which is 10 cents more than paid by the railroad companies and other contractors for the same class of work ; yet it is impossible to get them. ." "It is our purpose to give everything possible to Portland, and we still hope to pet men here, and on the Sound, in stead of having to go to San Francisco." Fljjs From The Dalles. ' At the regular monthly council meet ing last night all the council men were present except A. R. Thompson, who is at the coast. . Mayor Menefee presided. The committee to whom wa3 referred the petition of J. M. Patterson that the Vogt. opera house be licensed $3 per night o $15 per week reported favorably to granting it. The report waa adopted. The committee on fire and water re ported on the matter of placing a fire plug near the D. P. & A. N. warehouse that it be not placed. Report adopted l ne reports or officers and bilis were then read. A inony the latter waa a bill from the city water works for 352 for seven months and $32 for one month's water rent, whirh were voted upon and allowed separately. It seems that the bill had not been presented for over a year, owing to a reqneat by the council during the time the bonds were being sold. There was no objection to allow ing the bill; Councilman Boss summing np the sentiment of the council by say ing, "It was like taking it out of one pocket and putting it in another." The marshal presented a report cover ing needed sidewalk repairs, about a dozen or fifteen property owners being interested. These were ordered to be notified that ,tue walks were dangerous and should be repaired. A protest from James McGinty against dumping garbage near hra premises waa referred to the marshal. V- At this point the mayor said he un derstood the firemen had a request to make and that it would-be now in order to listen to anything they had to say. Mr. Roger Sinnott responded by saying that the department needed 500 feet of new hose; that while it was not for the racing tournament, yet.. since it was needed, he should be glad if it could be purchased in time for use at the tourna ment. Engineer Brown was called upon for a statement, and corroborated Mr. Sinnott, particularizing upon the matter under discussion. The hose which the city purchased last was not so good as the old hose. What was needed was a lighter weight hose," of greater re sietance, and he recommended the pur chase of 500 feet of hose, a sample of which had been received, coating $1 per foot, which was lighter weight, but of greater resistance than the hose already purchased. Mr. Brown also favored the purchaae of some more suction hose for the Jackson engine and said in case of fire none of the hose now in use was re liable. The matter was referred to the committee on fire and water with power to act. The mayor again brought up the mat ter of the appointment of marshal. Mr. Nolan moved that another vote be taken on the confirmation of the mayor's ap pointment. It resulted in a tie, four to four. Mayor Menefee expressed some doubt as to whether or not the charter intended that the mayor should have the power of casting the deciding vote, out alter some deliberation concluded that he had, and cast his vote for the affirmative. This settled the marshal sbipqoeetion, temporarily at least, bnt does not- clearly establish who will occu- pv ine othce of marshal. Blakeley de clares he will not trivo it up under existing circumstances. Upon motion council adjourned. A Broad Minded Divine. EVERYONE IN SYRACUSE KNOWS REV. S. R. CALTHROP. - A Scholarly, Christian H and a Be loved Pastor, Who Believes In Training the Bodjr as IVeU as the Mind. . 'US a'.lTtf t V REV. OB. CAI.TJIROI, SYhACl'SE, X. Y. The Twenty-ninth day of April is a no table day in (li history of the May Memor ial Church in Syracuse, as it' is the anni versary of the installation of the Hey. Samuel R. Cultlirop, D. D.. the eminent divine who so Ion? has ministered to tlietn spiritually as pastor of the Church. Dr. Calthrop was born in Kngland and received his preparatory scholastic tniinin at St. Paul's School, lyonJon. Kmerinjr " Trinity College, Cambridge, lie soon lecnmr ' a bright ligure in that brilliant enteric of scholars, literary men and wits that followed in the traditions of Macauluy and liiKas.M-i-atesat the university. .In the middle of the century hi; visited Syracuse aud received his first iiiipressiou of the young city that nearly a score of years later he was to choose as his home and in which his labors lxive been so long and effwtive. The masterly pulpit addresses of Dr. Calthrop have had their fundamentals drawn from the deepest research. His people have b:en instructed by him, not only in things iritual, but in tne Clements or tne uroadest culture, in lit erature, in art and in science. Mis young men have been taught a muscular system of morality. In these and in many other ways has he endeared himself to his congregation, which is one of the most highly cultured and wealthy in the city- Dr. Calthrop has a striking personality. To the eye he is a most picturesque figure. His head and face, framed in luxuriant mas ses of silky, snow white hair and beard, are of the type of Bryant and Longfellow. Al though over seventy years old, his rather spare figure is firm and erect, and every movement is active and graceful. His whole life long he has been an ardent admirer and promoter of athletic sports, and even at his advanced age, plays tennis with all the vigor and skill of a young man. To Syraeusans, perhaps, this remarkably versatile man is most widely known, apart from his profes sion, as a scientist. 41" a bright April morning a reporter fol lowed, the winding driveway that curving arouud the hill leads to Calthrop Lodge, an old-fashioned, red brick mansion, surrounded by a grove of oaks and chestnuts. AV earing a black skull cap and a black coat of semi--clerical cut, the master of Calthrop Lodge graciously received the reporter who called to inquire about his health, for, though manfully repressing all possible evidences of his suffering, P. Calthrop for many years has been the victim of a distressing affliction, until by fortunate chance he was led to take the remedy which has effectually enreu mm. . During more than half of his pastorate in Syracuse, Dr. Calthrop has been troubled with rheumatism, and at intervals he suffered excruciating agony from it. At times the pain was so great as to prevent lnni from walking. Many remedies were tried with out success, and he and his friends had given up -hope of a permanent cure or of inure than temporary relief when he took the entirely, and the swelling would commenoa This was always occasioned by some strain like a sudden stop.

This waa eflected by taking seven or eight boxes. I need not say that I am thankful for my recovered independence, but I will add that my knee is far stronger,than it has been for thirty-five years. I took one pill at mv meals three times a. day. I gladly give you this statement. Yours, S. It. CA LT II ROP. Since writing this letter Dr. Culthrop has not had any visits from his old enemy and is even more cordial now in his recommen dation of Dr. Williams' l'ink Pills than he was then. To the reporter he said : " I am continually recommending Dr Williams' Pink Pills to acquaintances and those I t-liance to meet who are troubled w ith rheumatism or locomotor ataxia. "l'ink Pills," continued Dr. Calthrop, "are the best thing of the kind 1 know of. They are infinitely superior to most medi cines that are put up for sale. I know pretty well what the pills contain, and I ' consider it an excellent prescription, it is such a one as 1 might get from my doctor, but he would not give it in such a compact form and so convenient to take.

In a letter written to the editor of The Eoemng Neva, of Syracuse, lust year, Dr. Calthrop told of his affliction and its cure. This is Dr. Calthrop's letter: - - To the Editor of The Evening Jetn Dear Sir: More than thirty-five, years ago I wrenched my left knee, throwing it almost from its socket. Great swelling followed, and the synovial juice kept leaking from the joint. This made me lame for years, and from time to time the weak knee would (ire out t MAT MEMORIAL CHCBCH, SYRACUSE, X. T.
