Paul Van der Voort, of Ouialia, for years irominent in the management of the populist arty, lias declared Lis intention of voting for McKinley and Roosevelt. He said William Jennings Bryan is a tyrannical political bos nnd a trim mer. "On tbe single issue of expan sion I abandon the populist parly and return to tbe republicans," be said. "I mado a long nod earnest lIort to build up a new parly, but when the controlling element of tbe party fuses wilb bastard democracy I am done. I have not abandoned any of tbe principles I advocated, but I will not follow any party that wants to haul down the American flag and turn over territory where tbe hones of our soldiers who con quered these possessions are buried. I do not believe the democratic party will ever carry out any reform. "I regard V. J. Bryan as the most intolerant and tyrannical political boss in the nation. He is ungrate ful, dictatorial, and simply believes in Bryanism and compels everyone to bow before bis joss bouse. He is wedded to no political piinciple, lie wiil abandon an issue as soon as be goes down to defeat under its 'banner. He was first for free trade, then for free silver, and now it is anti imperialsm. 'if be loses it will be something else. Another thing, I am an American. Mr. Bryan seeks to consolidate under bis banner tbe foreign vote of Ibis nation. "I will not support a pretended reform candidate who is supported by a Tammany ball, tbe Mormons, the ballot-box stuffers, anarchists, and all tbe wild-eyed elements who believe in no government at all. He Las at bis back the slum clement of tbe nation. He destroyed the only iwrty that meant reform. Ho sup ports Goebclism and favors laws tha( disfranchise the people of the South, and should be be elected his administration will be in the hands of the worst element in the country So sure are the eastern democrats that bo cares nothing for free silver ihat they support bim cordially. 1'In regard to the Boers, I am a descendant of the oldest Dutch fam ily that settled on Manhattan island A man of my name waj the fifth man tnartied on the island, and I am in sympathy with the Boers. Had I been president I would have inter vened, but the Bryan shoutcrs scream About an entangling alliance or in terference with any foreign power, and when they take breath they de mand that our government sbsll do o in the case of the Boers. They are not sincere; it is simply tbun tier. I believe tbe British empire will find its grave in South Africa and India, nnd nearly all its colonial possessions will be independent in Jess than twenty-five years. Tbe United States should take every ad vantage to increase ber trade, and make this the dominant nation of the world. Therefore, on the single is sue of expansion and tbe develop ment of our trade. I declare in favor vandals have evaded the laws that were intended to give the flab one day of freedom in the week. It is fimpl an outrage that must be abated. Determination to set foot in Ptkin should be tempered wil'i reflection that Chinese repugnance to tbe im pending forcible entry is naturul. See what bitterness crops out today in France at the recollection of Ger man troops marching nlong the Champs Elysecl Perhaps it was a dim foreboding of such a day as this that induced Bismarck to advise against humiliation of the French. If he had bad his way, Paris would not have been entered in 1871, and these protests against Wuldcrsee would not now be beard. The power that sympathies with China's desiro to save Pekin from devasta tion may some day reap its reward. The director of the mint estimates that the stock of gold in tbe United States has increased 60 per cent in four years. And ns gold increases, silver coinage can be increased, tbe silver dollars being kept at a parity with gold. Thus our per capita cir culation has increased over four dollars during tho past four years, and is now greater than ever before and larger than that of any other country. Hence every prop of tbe money agitators, whose clamor was for more money, has been taken from under them by events that could not be resisted, and tbe "silver question" is in tbe mud. Telegram that tbe total catch is even somewhat smaller than it was last year, and only about sixty per cent of what it was some years ago, says tbe Tele gram. This fact, together with others that for several years have indicated that tbe run of salmon in the Columbia river is gradually de creasing, speaks urgently and elo quently for such legislation as will better protect and preserve Ibis great industry. One of tbe principal diffi culties in the way of accomplishing this object, however, is the apparent unwillingness of the Washington stale fish commissioner to co-operate with the Oregon ' commissionbr in recommending necessary legislation, and more especially in entorcing present laws. For the sake of grant ing fishermen and cannerymen on the Washington side some privileges and advantages not accorded to those on the Oregon side, the Wash ington commissioner seems to be willing to jeopardize tho future of tbe fishing industry on tbe Columbia river, and allow it to be destroyed. Without co operation on the part of tho Washington legislature and Wash ington oflicials, efforts to protect and preserve tbe industry and give to It an upward instead of a downward impulse will he in vain. ROBERT J. MARSH KILLED. Throw from Hi. Wheal I'adar a lec in Car La.1 Eraalnf la fartlaad. A review of the past platforms of the democratic party will reveal the fact that the party is short on prom ises fulGlIcd and long on false proph esies. It declared that the war was a failure; it wasn't. It declared that fiee trade would bring prosperity; it didn't. It promised to benefit the laboring man; it didn't. Having failed in all its promises, it now comes up with a new stock declared to be better than the old and asks for indorsement. of McKinley and Roosevelt, and I Roosevelt is my kind of am g'ad Dutch." rv a . .. . iue nexi legislature win put a top to drag net fishing in the Colum bia, a thing which should have been done thirty years ago, says D. C. Ireland of the Morn Observer, a former resident of Astoria, who knows as much about tbe causes of thf decline in the salmon industry as any newspaper man living. The drag net, miscalled gill-net, has a loaded lead-line which drags the natural spawning grounds like a field barrow. We have seen 3000 of them covering 1500 miles of river bed at work at one time, and the mystery is, 'how did a salmon ever get above Woody is'and ?" All the hatcheries in Christendom could never success fully compete with vandalism like that. Then sec bow those same If the democratic party succeeds in persuading the business man that free silver will help business, and persuade tbe laboring man that free trade will help wages, and persuade tbe colored man that he is better off without the ballot than with it, and convince the soldiers that their blood and bravery has been spent in vain, then the party may have some chance of winning next November. Une hundred thousand negroes m North Carolina are disfranchised They will not have a voice in making tbe laws of the state or tbe United States, which they must obey. They pay taxes; they work in the fields, in factories and at various trades Where is there a democrat who talks about the "consent of the governed" when it applies to the colored men of North Carolina? Tbe Dalles used to have a paper that was called the Inland Empire. It was intensely democratic, but it providentially turned up its little toes before the aunties Invented tbe oogey man of imperialism. Had it lived till now It would have com mitted suicide or changed its name. New Jersey is a great state. It is the borne of the trust, the breeding ground of mosquitoes and anarchy and Grover Cleveland lives there. Walla Walla Statesman. And the Statesman might bavo added tbttt Grover is a democrat and an anti- imperialist. If the democrats elect their candi date for president, and elect a demo cratic congress f bis fall, they feel sure there will be nothing done to disturb foreign shipping in its pres ent enjoyment of 93 per cent of our foreign carrying. President David Starr Jordan has been studying the causes of tbe trouble in China, and thinks tbey are principally two, of wbicb tbe work of Christian missionaries is the lesser one, the greater one being tbe invasion ot railway and mining en gineers, who proceed with their ex plorations, surveys and locations with little regard for tbe ownership of the soil appropriated. Very like ly he may be conect, for with the Chinese as with other peoples, mate rial possessions arc of greater conse quence than an intangible spiritual faith. Religious belief, custom nnd prejudices may be utilized to foment and inflame passions once aroused, but the weight of testimony now seems to be in favor of the theory that tbe Chinese uprising is due quite as much, at least, to commer cial and industrial innovations as to the activity of Christian preachers and teachers. When to these ore added repeated seizures, on slight pretexts, of slices of Chinese terri tory as vantage points for nations that were threatening to partition the ancient empire among them selves, it is not strange that an up rising of Chinese people occurred; the wonder rather is that more of them are not Boxers. Jerry Simpson predicts that tbe nomination of Mr. Stevenson will give Kansas tD tbe republicans. It looks as if Adlai was nominated in order to have a good-natured person upon whom to blame tho unpleasant happenings. Wb'.Io the fishing season just end ed on the Columbia river was not a failure, fishermen and cannerymen having generally made good profits owing to the good quality and bigb price of the fish, yet It is noticeable Republican managers have mapped out a large territory for speech-making by their vice-presidential candi date, but they have selected nearly every western state visited by Bry an in his spiing tour. The presence of tbe war hero, now one of tho most prominent figures in public life in America, is to bolster up the waver ing voter. He is to visit every doubtful state in tbe Northwest. Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Ore gon, California, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska and Kansas are figbticg ground. Enthusiasm goes a long way in bringing out the full strength of a party, particularly in the West, where polling places are not always at the door of the voter, and it evi- dently is expected to wake up this section as Bryan woke it up in 1896. Governor Roosevelt will draw im raense audiences everywhere along the line because of his record in war. If he has tbe ability to make a last ing Impression, as did the distin- guished democratic leader, it may cause great inconvenience to demo cratic campaign managers. Ihe bowl of ''imperialism" is raised as a political expedient, in order to induco men to forget the crazy silver scheme of four years ago. But tho bowl about imperial ism is as irrational as the howl was for silver, only it is not so dangerous. It is a pity we have a political party that must always play tho fool.

Marsh, of tbe Marsb Print ing Company of Portland, and formerly a respected . resident of Tbe Dallos, was thrown from bis bicycle by an electric car on Grand avenue in Portland Mon day evening and dragged beneath tbej wbeels fully fifty feet, receiving Injuries from which he died an hour later at Good Samaritan Hospital. Being de f, be was nnable to hear the approach of the car, and before tbe niotorman could see that he was not going to ride off tbe track the car was upon him. Mr. Marsb was riding along Grand venue toward bis borne at about 6:43 in the evening and was directly between the car tracks between East Abler and East Washington street when East An keny car, No. 57, N. E. Lowe motor man, came np tbe street behind bim. Tbe niotorman rang tbe bell several times to attract bis attention, but as be did not seem to take warning by the sound, the brakes were applied and tbe power reversed. As the car was nearly upon bim lie turned sharply, apparent ly to ride np East Washington street, and rode directly across the track in front of tbe car. An instant later tbe car, which was still moving at a moder ate rate of speed, knocked him off bis wheel and be was thrown directly nnder tbe front truck, bis legs being caught beneath the wbeels. In epite of every effort of tbe motorman, the momentum of tbe car, which is a very beavy one, carried it forward, and when it was stopped fifty feet further along the track Marsh was found to be hopelessly in jured. There was much excitement, and of the great crowd which gathered, only a few retained presence of mind enough to act. Among these was J. L. Welle, who with much difficulty extricated the injured man from beneath the wbeels and sent for a physician. Dr. M. A. Flynn, who responded to tbe call, could do nothing more than order Marsh sent to tbe hospital. Both legs were nearly severed at the knee, and the femur of the left leg was shattered to the hip. Despite the terrible shock of the acci dent, Marsh was conscious and asked Wells to take bim home. He was told that bis condition was such that he mnst go to tbe hospital, and be replied, "Do whatever is best." He survived bnt little more than an hour after bis arrival at the bospitel, dying at 8:30. Those who witnessed the accident say that the car was not running at unusual speed, and that had Marsh not tried to turn out he might have escaped. They attribute tbe accident to bis deafnees, which was such that he was obliged to carry an ear trumpet. The motorman gave amplo warning of the approach of the car with his gong, and did every thing in his power to check the car when it became plain to bim that the bell was not heard. Mrs. Marsh, tbe wife of the nnfortu eate man, who is at Clatsop, was noti fied, and will be borne today. Tbe de ceased is well known in Portland. He lived at 449 East Ash street, where he bad a handsome cottage. He was the senior member of the Marsh Printing Company, and bad been in Portland for about twelve years. Before going to Portland he lived in The Dalles, being foreman in the Inland Empire office, afterward a partner with John Michell in publishing the Times, and later pro prietor of tbe Wasco Sun. He was very highly respected as a man of Integrity. III. rn. .us axe was over ou years, lie was a member of Fidelity lodge, A. O. U. W. A wife and one son Harold, a boy of about 12 years survive bim. PERTINENT PRESS COMMENT. Bryan is remarkably slow in getting against the government on the Chinese question. It will not be many days, however, until he will discharge an arsenal of criticism upon all that has been done. Then bis "me tooo" wor shipers will bail his discoveries as the honest expression of a genuine patriot. Bab I When was such uncurrent stuff ever before allowed to pass for true coin?
