A BUS IX ESS PROPOSITION.
In rare moments the Hon. James
Hamilton Lewis of Washington rcc
cgnizes a fact. Speaking of the IV
ciflc stales, be says:
" The Philippine question is tbe
most trouolesoine one with which the
democrats have to deal on tbe coast,
The people out there look upon it as
a business proposition and it is bard
to get them to listen to tbe doctriunl
view of the democrats."
Commenting upon this scintilla
tion of tbe Honorable Jim Ham, the
New York Sun very appropriate
says: "The trade with the east is a
very interesting business proposition
to the rucific states. They bave bad
practical proof already of the value
of tbe Philippines to them. It is
useless to chatter to them about an
imaginary ' empire.' Bugaboos can
not frighten them Into forgetting
their own interests and surrendering
a positive advantage the value of
which will grow from year to year.
" Oregon has accepted tbo business
proposition. California and Wash
ington will do tbe same. Tbe Phil-
ippines as a business proposition will
not be rejected by a practical
people.
" Ibis instinct of business is sup
ported by a deep and unconquerable
sentiment, patriotism, the feeling
that tbe Integiity cf 'American terri
tory must be maintained aud tbe
prestige of tbe American flag must
cot be lessened. True Americanism
and business sagacity are on tbo re
publican side in this campaign. Ro
mantic gabble about 'empire' and
4 greed ' will be vain against irre
sislable fact and feeling."
democrat be bas to get up twice
every Digbt to tremble. Then be
goes back to beJ and sees visions
and dreams dreams about men on
horseback, carrying .words and wear
ing crowns, In Grant's administra
tion they always pictured bim in
their newspaper as thirsting to wear
a crown. Grant was the same horrid
monster McKinley is, he wanted to
found an empire, he wanted to be an
emperor. Now what do tbey say of
Grant? Tbev don't say be was a
monster any more than they say
Lincoln was a babbonn, as they did
when be was president. Their talk
about imperialism is all bosh. They
kuo it, but tbey don't fool anybody
but themselves and they are inclined
that way naturally.

pseudo democracy with one phase of
BRYANISM THE ISSUE.
July 4lh, 1900, developed a new
microbe, which now afllicts certain
minds with a new disease " Bryan
itis," says tbe Globe Democrat. For
tunately, tbe remedy is a simple one,
notwithstanding the conglomeration
of elements in the n miction. A can
didate who forced bis own platform
upon delegates who went into con
vention ostensibly as free agents,
And who now stands upon the most
grotesque mixture Df "issues" ever
presented to tbe peorlo of tbe United
States, can expect to be met in only
one way at the polls. The remedy
for " Bryanitis " is to vote for
McKinley. It is idle to even con
eider a democratic ticket. Tbe
democratic parly expired in 189C,
when, instead of preserving a basis
of organization by an exhibition of
their voting strength, tbe great ma
Jority of democrats who stood for
"sound money," good government
and principles of democracy voted
for McKinley instead of the ticket of
their own creation, which represent
ed their party taith. It is true that
anxiety lest an immeasurable injury
should befall the people led to their
course. It was, neverthelss, a mis
taken one, in that it left democrats
without a party. Confronted as
they now are, with even a greater
danger than before, there is but one
refuge vote not at all or vote for
McKinley.
Repudiation of the Kansas City
platform is going on at every in
dustrial center of the South, "Mc
Kinley Democrats" are declaring
themselves in numbers, and with
freedom and forccfulness. It is a
revelation of senliment which may
not count so much in votes where it
is manifested, but which can not fail
to have its bearing on tbe genera
situation.
Tbe character of this expression is
shown by tbe action of the Manu
facturers' Record, published at Balti
more and devoted to the business
and industrral growth of the South
This publication, of wide circulation
and influence, declared prompt and
emphatic dissent from tbe latest
utterance of Bryanism. It bas taken
tbe ground that "the Kansas City
declaration of policy represents
nothing which appeals to tbe ma
jority of tbe business men of the
South, men who have never known
what it is to be other than democratic
in their affiliations." It says these
men "realize tbe time has come to
show the wodd tbo courage of their
convictions."
Sustaining its conviction that tbe
real issue of the campaign is "be
twecn poverty and prosperity," the
Manufacturers' Record bas begun
the printing of letters from repre
sentative democrats in ibe South who
share this feeling.
In his letter, John C. Latham, a
Kentuckian, and member of a New
York house which bas placed mill
ions in Southern investments, asks
"Why sell a ton of ore, a yard of
clolb, a pouud of cotton, or an
ounce of tobacco, for silver dollars
coined at the false ratio of 16 to 1,
when every commodity menlloned
will command gold anywhere in the
civilized world, and that gold will
pass at its face value wherever there
is trade and commerce."
Col. J. B. Killebrew, of Nashville,
was at one time commissioner of
agriculture of his state, and has been
a leader in tbe agricultural up
building of tbe South. He was for
free silver and voted for Bryan in
1896.
"I can not surrender at tbe dicta
tion of the new democracy," be
writes," "my old democracy that was
the exponent and embodiment of
expansion, sound money aud
It must have been a proud day for
Kx-Senator Corbett the day he was
sued for 1100.000 for alienating a
wife's affections. It furnished him
with an overwhelming answer to
those who bad hitherto fought Lis
candidacy on tbe ground that be was
too old. The ex-senator now as
much as says: "Gentlemen, if I am
young enough to alienate the affec
tions of a young and beautiful
woman, I am young enough to be
your senator."
Tbe democrats love to holler booh!
says the Salem Statesman. Tbey
always have a great scare on. The
country is always going to tbe dogs.
Somebody is robbing the U. S.
treasury. Somebody wants to wear
a crown. England is always cither
corrupting our statesmen or building
forts up in British America to blow
us all into the Gulf of Mexico.
When a man gets to be a thorough packing bouse of J. L. Williams t
con
servative progress. I. am do poli
tician, I never ran for a political
office in my life, but like thousands
of others who think for themselves
business men, prosperous farmers
and mechanics of the South, whose
interest in politics is measured by
their patriotic duty to increase tbe
moral and social elevation of the
people, encourage their mental im
provement and build up their ma
terial prosperity I can not vote for
the establishment of those principles
which I verily believe would lead to
weakness, decay and death."
John W. Fries, of Salem, N. C, a
leading cotton manufacturer,. is an
other of tbe notable southern demo
crats who contribute to tbe sym
posium. Declaring that events bave
shown the free-silver advocates four
years ago were "clearly wrong," Mr.
Williams adds:
"As to the 'paramount issue," im
perialism, clear-headed business men
regard this as simply quixotic. Of
course, nobody wants imperialism.
and there is not even tbe remotest
possibility of an emperor being
crowned in this country. Why, then,
break a lance on such a windmill?"
John L. Williams, Lead of tbe
dangerous political heresy will dis
credit and losore its defeat. Tbe
outlook of the South and all ber
great and high hopes and enterprises
call for every citizen to place him
self noon tbe side of peace and
sound principles, growth and pro
press, azainst provincialism and
sectionalism, and slavery to tradi
tions from dead leaders and vanished
conditions.
T. G. Bush, of Birmingham, Ala.,
president of tbe Shelby Iron Com
pany and tbe Alabama Consolidated
Coal and Iron Company, says: -
"Whatever may be my political
action in the future, I unhesitatingly
state that tbic is no time to change
the administration of William Mc
Kinley for one under tbe reign of
William J. Bryan."
And so they write from Texas,
from Georgia, from every southern
state, putting in various forms what
an Atlantic man concisely expresses
as follows:
"Tbe worst possible calamity that
could happen to the business interests
of this country would be the success
of Bryanism, 1C to 1 and other
isms."

tide of tbe Celestial thug, who fights in
tbe open instead of planting dynamite
bombs and then running away .-Chicago
Chronicle.
Since tbe democratic party went over
to Bryanism democratic governors and
senators bave disappeared in the north
ern states, and only one democrat it
given a place on tbe fusion ticket in Ne
braska. Tbe elimination of tbe demo
cratic party by Bryan goes on vigorously.

The Prineville Review thinks tbe
cause for tbe existence of the Ante
lope Republican appears in its lead
ing editorial in its last issue. The
question of "Stockman County" is
advocated and it is suggested that
the lines be drawn tbe same as they
were before. It further says that
both Crook and Wasco counties
should be willing. Tbe Review is
glad tbat its neighbor on the north
bas made known bis intention. That
paper will resist with all its might
the formation of a county as pro
posed in the last legislature, and it is
satisfied that a majority of tbe tax
payers in that portion of Crook
county sought to be cut off will
petition against tbe change.
Tbe death of King Humbert, of
Italy, at tbe hands of an anarchist,
removes from Ibis sphere of action
a man who was an bonor to tbe
human race. He was one of the best
men that ever lived. Anarchy itself
could not suggest a reason for his
murder except its insane and un
reasoning hatred or everything that
is good. The society that plotted
bis death and the man who executed
It have no more rights in civilized
society than a pack of cayotes. No
punishment can ever fitly avenge
this base and cowardly murder.
S. A. Gurley, who has for some
time conducted tbe ArliLgton Rec
ord witb marked ability, bas sold
tbe paper to J. M. Johns, a former
proprietor. It is rumored that the
Record and Independant will be
cansolidated so that Arlington, as
formerly, will bave only one paper.
Mr. Johns is an able, conscientious
writer and The Chronicle welcomes
him back to tbe editorial field.
A Chinese peddler at Spokane is
said to bave cut off bis queue to
convince skeptical persons that he
was not a Boxer. Here a Chinaman
does not cat off bis queue but be
announces bis sentiment in a scintil-
ation of all tbe picturesque cuss
words known to tbe Anglo-Saxon
vocabulary.
An exchange very fittingly re
marks that it does not matter whether
mperialism or 16 to 1 is paramount
so long as Mr. Bryan is paramount.
PERTINENT PRESS COMMENT.
The Washington Pott notes that Cape
Nome bas reached that point where the
grave diggers are making more money
than the gold dig;en.
The Tacoma Ledger facetiously eng.
gests that "Aguinaldo is said to. bn busy
having the Kansas City platform Irani
lated into several Taual dialects."
An officer of the anti-imperialist
league refers to Prenident McKinley as
"William of Canton." What's the
matter with William of Lincoln? Globe
Democrat. The New York World (dem.) asks if
we are to have a more distinctively
Khaki conies in different shades now
to suit different complexions. Now
that we know the beginning- of khaki
it Mould be interesting- to remember
to follow it in its career to nee how
far it will get away from the original
idea and still keep to the name, says
the New York Times.
Brilliant crimson kid gloves in the
shops show the popular taste for that
color. Iteally, people who are sup
posed to have good taste in gloves do
buy that shade to match suits.
It is true that hardly a bird or
a feather is to be seen in the spring
millinery. There is the thin material
that has been seen all winter in feath
er effects in hats, straw ornaments
simulating them and whole birds are
made of different shades of paillettes.
The serpent, which is always more or
less in evidence in some form or orna
ment, now rears nu iridescent head
from bunches of fluffy material at the
sides of hats, mid linn a self-confident
air, as if he were coming into his
proper estate. In some instances he
is combined with feathers, and in one
where his unpleasant head is sur
rounded with dove feathers there is
too much suggest iveness to make the
ornament an agreeable one. .
Flower gardens are still to be found
on handkerchiefs, and often they are
beautiful, with charming though bril
liant color effects. One handkerchief
has one corner, almost an entire
fourth of the handkerchief, filled with
n cluster of brilliantly colored flow
ers artistically arranged, a real little
scene, while in each of the other cor
ners is a butterfly. That handker
chief costs $15. Some pretty little
handkerchiefs have baskets of differ
ent colored flowers in the corners.
The bragas or Bulgarian strips, the
hand embroidery of the Armenians on
hand-woven linen, can be bought at n
comparatively low figure. Much of
the work comes in stripes which is
beautiful for insertion in wash gowns.
There are only two small pieces made
alike, and one is always sure of get
ting something that cannot be dupli
cated, and as a trimming the stripes
are stylish and serviceable. They wear
forever. The two pieces of work make
handsome bags, small pillows, or are
pretty for handkerchief cases and dif
ferent things of that kind. One piece
ot the canvas will have stripes enough
to use for insertion in one waist, and
a good piece can be found for $1.50,
and sometimes for less.
Little girls of five, Rix and seven are
wearing little short puffed sleeves to
their wash gowns. Some mothers
make liltle gimps with sleeves to wear
with little low-necked gowns, and in
the hottest weather remove them,
leaving the neck and arms bare. Some
of the sleeves are in odd little shapes,
fitting in at the armhole and then
slanting out like a straight little flow
ing sleeve to the-clbow, stopping just
above it. One little gown with a
puffed sleeve has what has the appear
ance of a cuff longer at the back than
the front set into it.
The woman who wears her seal or
intaglio rings on the same hand with
her rings in which are precioim
stones makes the same mistake that
the woman does who in hanging her
pictures puts paintings, engravings
and photographs in the same group.
She shows bad taste and spoils the ef
fect of all.
