Four j cars ui 3i e of a full dinner
pail.
We have met the enemy and they
ars ours.
A motion is now iu order to make
the vote unanimous.
McKinley will do business at the
old stand for the next four year?.
The nest issue on the program is
the Thanksgiving turkey and how to
gct i1,
It is the full dinner pad more than
anything else that broke the neck of
lirrnnism.
The very latest returns indicate
that Bryan has carried Texas, Wamic
Kingsle3' and Nansene.
McKinley'a popular majority will
be considerably larger than It was
four years ago, while bis electoral
vote will be nearly two to Mr.
Bryan's one.
It may tie in the interest cf etb
r.ologv as it is certainly iu the inter-
eft of archeology, that a few speci
mens of the genus Iiryanite are still
left in the Kingsley, Wamic and
.Nansene precincts.
Will the readers of Hearst's Pacific
Coast 'Police Gazette, ycleped the
San Francisco Examiner, ever realize
what malicious and willful lying that
unprincipled sheet indulged in dur
ing the late cao piign?
At the close of the national cam
paign of 18'JG Bryan wrote an ac
Count of it and called it "The First
Battle." It is dollars to doughnuts
that Bryan will never write an ac
count of the second battle.
The free silver craze is now hap.
pily dead and buried, and no aggre
gation of voters entitled to be called
democratic will ever again run a
presidential candidate on a platform
favoring the free coinage of silver at
any ratio.
That the American voter turned a
deaf ear to Bryan's gospel of envy
and bate is another proof of his in
telligence and that he can be trusted
to do the right thing at the right
time. Any other answer to Bryan's
demagogic appeals would have fur
nished evidence that manhood suf
frage is a failure.
In Norway before a gifl is allowed
to marry she must have a state cer
tificate that she can cook. And yet
there is a disposition among ignorant
people to consider Norway some
distance behind the advance guard
of civilization. New York Press.
The election was anomalous in
this respect, that hundreds of thous
mnds cf democrats voted for Bryan
or refused to vote for McKinley,
while tbey devoutly prayed that
Bryan might be buried so deep that
be would never have a resurrection,
The election of McKinley is the
repudiation of Bryan and all his
woiks. Bryan will never be beard
of a.-uin ns n presidential candidate.
Sixteen to one is dead and buried
beyond the possibility of a resur
rection. The demagogy that wept
over the dead beat and the lazy nnd
shiftless and had not a kind word for
the thrifty snd energetic has been
rebuked. In the hands of a repub
lican administration confidence will
be maintained and labor, as well ns
capital, will receive its just recogni
tion and reward.
Simultaneously with the report
that McKinley has carried Nebraska,
and that the Nebraska legislature
will probably be republican on Joint
ballot, Mr. Bryan announces through
the New York Journal that under no
circumstances couM be be induced
to accept the office of United States
senator, even were it tendered biro;
that he made his fight for the presi
deney and lost aud is not now going
to take other men's position from
thero. Bryan' magnanimity is on a
par with that of the Irishman who
vowed lie never would stay where
he would not be kept.
The New Voik World publishes
the following estimates as represent
ing Tammany's tax each year on
crime in Greater New Yoik: 150
poolrooms, $780,000; 100 swell gam
bling bouses, $520,000; 1000 little
gambling houses, 1,300,000; 500
policy shops, tC50,000; 1000 dives,
900000; illicit tax on ciime per
year, 1,1 50,000. And the Institu
tion which levies this tax on crime
is the one of which Mr. Bryan, a few
days ago, said : "Great is Tammany
and Croker is its prophet." Bryan's
connection with this infamous blotch
on humanity was his fault as well as
his misfortune.

seventy fifth year of continuous publica

Filipino Are Muilml,
Despite the fact that the American
troops are busily engaged 'in "sup
pressinjr" the Fi'.ipinos, a striking de
mand for musical instruments from
this country is being made by the peo
ple over whom Aguinaldo once ruled.
Consul Winter, writing from Anna
berg recently, referred to the fact that
there are few native Filipinos who do
not play some musical instrument, and
that the musical taleivt among them is
great. The instruments for which
they care most are mandolins, guitars,
violins and flutes, nnd they have de
rived most of fheir supply -t li us far from
the Americans. The average Filipino
does not lavish money on his musical
education, however, and is net able, as
a rule, to buy expensive instruments.
The Tagals prefer instruments with a
showy exterior, and Consul Winter be
lieves the archipelago offers a fine op
portunity for the man who gets there
soTin with a large supply of musical in
struments. N. y. Herald.
Olilrst Exploited Slate Senator.
An elderly gentleman who sat be
hind, me in one of the parks, as the
asphalt pavements sizzled and baked,
6sked me if l knew ex-Senator lirad
bury, of Maine. "Do you know he is
the oldest living ex-senator, and tlrere
were some mighty interesting times
when he was here. J.et me see! He
only lacks, two Biimmerii of being 1UO
years old, and his memory and politi
cal activity extend well back to the
time of Andrew Jackson. Yea, he was
an active man, a forerunner of the
great men in congress which the I'ine
tree state has furnished. I under
stand he is now .living at Augusta.
Me., and still takes a keen interest
in current political affairs." Later, I
secured a photograph of ex-Senator
Bradbury from Maine, nnd it shows
him a wonderfully preserved man, 98
years of age. Joe Mitchell Chappie, in

Some of the proceedings of the
ecumenical conference, recently held
in New York, were marked by humor.
A member of one of the audiences rose
in his place at the end of a speech, and
asked for the attention of those pres
ent. The presiding officer thought that
a missionary was about to speak, and
asked:
"From what outpost do yon come?"
"I am from Jersey City," replied th
man from the audience perhaps from
inability to hear the exact words of the
question. X. Y. Tribune.

of election at Chitty's ball, where bulle

appearance of the Bryanites and Aguin

Death cf Jam M. tJautlegton.
Mr. James M. Huntington, assistant
postmaster of The Dalles, died at bis
home in this city Thursday morning
between -1 and 5 o'clock, of inflam
mation of tho spine.
Mr. Huntington was bora at Rockford,
III., March 8, 1855. With bis parents
he went to Olympia, Wash., in 1807,
where he grew from a boy to manhood.
In 1882 he settled at the site of the
present town of Iluutingtou, Baker
connty, Or., where, with an older
brother, he was engaged for some years
in the mercantile business", and from
these brothers the town was named.
In 1884 he married Mary B. .Milts, for
merly of Olympia, who survives him.
In the year 1886 be came to The Dalles
and accepted the position of deputy
county clnrk under George II. Thomp
son, which office lie held four years.
Since that time he has been engaged in
the abstracting, real estate and insur
ance business. '
Throughout bis entire business career
his life has been marked by the strictest
faithfulness to every trust. "His 6delity
and integrity were never questioned.
When Mr. Forrest Fisher assumed
charge of the U. S. postoffice at this
place some months ago he selected Mr
Huntington as bis assistant.
He has been, ever since he came to
The Dalles, a faithful member of the
Congregational church, and has served
as deacon during the past six or eight
years.' He was also an active member
of several of the beneyolent and insur
ance orders.
Mr. Huntington had only been ill
about a week, and his sudden demise
was a great shock to the community in
which he has been so long and favora
bly known. The deep sympathy of all
gees out to the surviving widow and six
fatherless children, the eldest of whom
is only 15 veaia old.
The Wheat Trade.
Portland trading ruled quiet the past
week, owing principally to holders re
fusing to sell at present limits. Ship
pers have placed their bids on a level
with English market values, and have
no present need for loading stuff. They
decline to pay from 2 to 5 cents per
bushel more for wheat than they them
selves can sell at, and are content to
wait until such time as sellers are will
ing to meet the market, or an advance
abroad should justify rinsing prices here.
There is no doubt whatever about ex
porters being fully supplied with grain,
not only to.' meet the wants of tonnage
at hand, but the needs of pre-chartered
vessels have been largely anticipated.
The shipments of wheat and floor from
July 1st to October 31st from Puget
Sound and the Columbia river, flour re
dnced to wheat, amounts to over 7,500,
000 bushels.
Reports from various sections of the
interior indicate that about forty per
cent of the crop is out of the farmers'
hands and is held by interior merchants
and warehousemen. Receipts have been
very liberal, and there is selling going
on constantly, but not in any very large
lots. If the market should take an up
ward spurt of three or fonr cents, fully
thirty per cent of the crop now held by
the farmers would come out. As it is,
most of them are pnrsning an awaiting
policy. Warehouses here are heavily
taxed with grain, notwithstanding the
very large shipments made in October,
and they show very llttlo depletion, as
cars are waiting daily to be unloaded.
Notwithstanding the low price being
paid, sellers are getting full values on
sales, while growers get but small re
sults from their season's work. The
late foreign improvement has not been
reflected here as to values, owing to the
fact that local values have been too
high right aloag. Exporters were giv
ing part of the profile on cheap ships to
the grower. We qn ite Club 53u ; Blue

Advantage of the Fruit Dryer.
The Walla Walla Union has the fal
lowing to say in favor of fruit dryers,
which Dalles people would do well to
consider:
"The output of the fruit dryer of the
Walla Walla valley this season lias been
enormous. Almost two million pounds
of dried fruits, consisting ui the most
part of prunes and apples, have been
placed Jpon the market which other
wise would havo been left to rot bv the
farmers and fruit growers.
"W. D. Smith, who operated one of
the largest driers in the city, closed
down last week, said : 'The dryers have
been a great help to the fruit grower, as
we have saved them thousands of dol
lars which would have undoubtedly been
lost had not the dryers been put in op
eration. The market for the most of
this fruit is in the larger eastern cities,
Chicago, Philadelphia and New York,
although the cider and jellies find a
ready sale oh this coast.'
"This is only an infant industry on
this coast, and the great saving already
made will undoubtedlyvbe increased sev
eral fold in the next few vears."

The latest theft reported is that of a
trunk, which was stolen Monday nigbi at
the depot. Mrs. J. C. Meins had sent
the trnnk of little Miss Golden to the
depot by an expressman between 7 and
7 ;30 o'clock, and when she arrived later
to check it, the trunk was minus. A
cumber of loafers about the depot had
teen noticed by the fxpressman as he
deposited the trunk there, and it is
suspicioned they had a hand in its dis
appearance. Search was at once insti
tuted and later the missing trunk was
found in the lumber yard back ef Peters'
sawmill. The contents had been rum
aged, hut evidently the thieves had no
use for the personal effects of a child,
and so far as could be ascertained noth
ing had been taken.

Tall-Tale Shore Warn by at Man la
l'arty Searrhlaa; for a Mar
derrr. "The part played by footprints in
the frightful tragedy near .Bilo.xi re
minds me," said a New Orleans rail
road man, relates the Tinies-Demo-
I crat, "of a most remarkable affair
which happened a good many years
ago in south tieorgia. The keeper
of a little store near the Florida line
was murdered one night and the place
set on fire. Several negroes were
suspected and the whole countryside
turned out to search for evidence.
In the rear of the burned store was a
marshy place, in which the footprints
of the murderer were plainly discern
ible, showing that he had worn a
pair of heavy brogans, the right hec!
of whi.-h seemed to have been sp'ir in
a very peculiar manner directly across
' the middle.
"Among the searchers was a well-to-do
young farmer, and as soon as he
saw the footprints he was horrified
to recognize the marks of his own
shoes which he had on at that very
moment. The split heel was the re
sult of a chance blow with an ax
while cutting wood, and the impres
sion in the marshy soil was absolutely
unmistakable. The crowd was
worked up to a pitch bordering on
frenzy, and, realizing his extremely
critical position, the young man hail
presence enough of mind to make
some excuse and slip nwa.v. He went
straight home, put on another pair of
shoes, hid the old ones and rejoined
the party.
"Two or three days later the crime
was traced by certain circumstantial
evidence to a negro who worked on
his farm. The fellow broke down nnd
confessed and incidentally cleared up
the mystery: On the night of the .
murder, according to his story, he
had noticed the brog.ins on the porrh
of the farmhouse aud appropriated
them, intending at the time to merely
rob the store and fly the country.
After killing the storekeeper ' he
changed his plans and came home,
thinking to divert suspicion by re
maining quietly at. work. Conse
quently he returnel the shoes where
he found them.
"After he had made this confes
sion the farmer told bis own story
and produced the tell-tale footgear.
Heaven only knows what might have
happened had he been caught with
them em his feet the first day of tie
search."
A 9)tranare Find.
While a squad of workmen were em
ployed in constructing a large dry
dock at Cherbourg they made a
strange discovery. For some time
they had used an enormous oak log
as a sort of fulcrum in moving about
the granite blocks, and one day this
log suddenly burst open under an ex
traordinary pressure. To the amaze
ment of the workmen a stiff parch
ment fell out, together with a shower
of gold and silver coins. There was
a grand rusn to secure the prize, but
in the end the workmen had to turn
over the find to a magistrate. Jt was
ascertained that the log had been orig
inally part of n fortification, and that
at the lime of the' laying of the first
stone Louis Philippe had placed the
document and coins in the log. Gold
en Days.
The f istive stur-gfo?, which in other
yaars was so numerous in The Dalles,
seems to have had his day and stepped
down and "in" tor a few years. Al
though the season opened on the first of
the month, few have been seen in the
market compared with the surplus we
were won l i have. The sturgeon in
the Columbia were practically extermi
nated several years ago, and after they
were all gone i h was passed for their
protection. Under tiiis protection a
new generation is growing up, but they
have not retained a very large growth
yet. It will probably be quite a number
of years before any very large ones will
be caught, as it must take some time
for a stnrreon to attain a length of 10 to
12 feet, which was not an uncommon
sice for them.
