pleasure. With these latter there is
no grumbling, no expression of ic
gret, no lugubrious prophecies of
impending woes. They have taken
their medicine and taken it with a
grace thai says as plain as words can
say it that if it isn't sweet at least it
isn't very bitter. Nor ts this to be
wondered at.
Of the millions who voted for
Bryan there must have been hundreds
of thousands, North as well as South. ,
who secrttly hoped he would be
snowed under, l'hey had no use
for his free silver fad and secretly
laughed at his imperialistic bogey
. man. Militarism had no terrors for
them for they knew that congress
controlled the army and the people
controlled congress. The trusts did
not incite their partisanship for they
knew tbey were a business proposi
tion, and that men put their mor.ey
in tbem purely in the hope of gain
and without respect to their political
affiliitions. If the democratic wage
earner asked, "Wherein are the trusts
injuring me?" the only answer was
the echo of his own voice. lie knew
that there was plenty of employment
lor ever) man who was willing and
a Die to work, and at the highest
average wages ever paid to labor.
If household expenses have incieased
he knew the increase was largely in
commodities produced on the farm
and range and wholly outside the
domain or contiol of the trusts. He
remembered, perhaps bitterly, that
the dearest commodity he ever saw
wns something he needed ani bad
not the wherewithal to buy. And,
lastly, he knew thai the election of
McKioley boded no violent change
of existing conditions, no commercial
or industrial upheaval, just as he did
not know, and could not guess, what
might result from the election of
Bryan. N ,
If from any cause such a man
and his name 'is legion voted fot
Bryftn his interest in.Bryaifs election
ended at the ballot box. Nay,
Bryan's defeat was the discharge of
a nightmare. The voter had the
proud consciousness of having (kept
the faith," but be secretly rejoiced
that bis ballot went for naught.
Said a democrat who has long held a
high place in the councils of bis
party in Wasco county: "I voted
for Bryan because I am a democrat
and could not be anything else, but
while I put my cross in front of the
names of the Bryan electors, I de
voutly prayed that Bryan might be
buried so deep that be would never
have a resurrection."
These are some of the reasons why
the rank and file of the democrats
are shedding no tears over Bryan's
defeat.
Our anti-imperialist fiiends will
not fail to note the evident intention
of His Imperial Majesty, William
McKinley, to grind the Porto Ricans

was that election. It has snowed
Dry no under woise than before so
that every candid man must admit
that the American people want
neither him nor his political theories."
Said another rancher who has a
similar record as a populist: "The
democrats lied' to us and deceived
us up to the last moment. I never
remember anything like it. Bryan
was to sweep the country from Maine
to California. The Germans were
all for Bryan, so were the Irish, so
was the labor vote; when they must
have known that they were lying
like Ananias. I shall never vote the
democratic ticket in my life again."
The summary of the assessment
roll of Umatilla county for the pres
ent year shows a .decrease in the
valuation of taxable property, as
compared with the roll of 1809, of
$1,304,039, or a decrease of 20 per
cent. The summary of Union
county shows a decrease of $293,543,
or a loss of nearly 8 per cent. No
body believes, nobody pretends to
believe that this decrease is genuine.
It is the inevitable resu't of the
example set last year by Multnomah
county when, to avoid the payment
of a just proportion of the stale tax
the valuation of the taxable property
of the county was lowered $11, 000,
000, as compared with that of the
preceding year. Better a thousand
times submit to the venial eriors of
a stale board of assessment than
prolong a system that is fast degen
erating into a farce.
S-ys the Chicago Chronicle, which
itself did till that mortal could in the
last campaign to maintain the "mon
grel combination between the worst
elements of democracy North and
South and the populism of the West:"
From Maine westward to the Rosky
mountains, north of the Ohio river
line, there is not a democratic gov
ernor, there is not a acmocranc
United States senator, there are few
democratic congressmen, and demo
crats in office of any description are
so rare that a party embracing at
least one -half of the population may
be said almost with literal truth to
have been excluded from participa
tion in public affairs. To this hu
miliating estate the mongrel combi
nation between the worst elements of
democracy North and South and the
populism of the West has brought a
once proud political organization
which has controlled the affairs of
the republic in many important eras
And now they tell us Switzerland

RYASISM STILL
THE MSG
J A dispatch from Chicago says that
' evidence has already developed that
i the Bryan men oow in control of the
democratic party propose to continue
; that control if they tan. While the
1 republican national committee has
'given up its headquarters and piac
i tically gone out of business for four
'years the democratic committee has
engaged rooas in the Security build-
ing and intends to keep up the Bryan
! propaganda until the presidential
j election.
j The plan is one which prevailed
i during the last four years. A liter
larv huieau is to be maintained which
will send out matter to democratic
weekly papers under authority of
the national committee regulaily,
and Vice Chairman Johnson, or the
! secretary, or both, will be in charge
all the time. TLe executive com
mittee of the nalional committee,
which is essentially a Bryan body,
will supervise the character of Ibis
literary output and see to it that
nothing but radical doctrines and
theories receive the seal of the na
tional committee.
The cardinal principle of party
faith laid down will be that no dem
ocrats except those who worked and
voted for the election of Bryan are
entitled to any voice in the manage
ment of the party.
As another part of the plan the
committee has arranged also that
the National League of Democratic
Clubs shall keep up its organization
during the next four years, with the
idea of taking a hand in the selection
of delegates to the next convention.
These clubs were all formed in
Bryan's interest, and their members
are generally supposed to be devoted
to him and to the principles he rep
resents. It is significant to nolo the estima
tion in which the two presidential
candidates were held by the. voters
who knew them best, says the Chicago
Tribune. Bryan's home county in
Nebraska is Lancaster. Four years
ago this county gave McKinley a
plurality of 432. This year it gives
McKinley a plurality of 1804. Stark
county. Ohio, is Mr. Mckinley 8
home county. Four years ago it
gave him 850, and this year 2000
plurality. Mr. Bryan was defeated
in bis own precinct, ward, city,
county, congressional district and
state. Mr. McKinley's standing
among his neighbors was of the
opposite kind. The Nebraskan also
assumed a sort of personal claim
upon ;alem, 111., where his parents
were buried, and complained that
the people of that town had injured
his feelings by having McKinley
pictures in their windows. Salem is
in Marion, which is a democratic
county. Four years ago it gave
Mr. Bryan a plurality of 965, but
this year it reduced his plurality to
749. He loses 89 votes in the
county, and Mr. McKinley gains
127. Evidently Mr. Bryan's senti
mental appeal to the people of
Marion county did not produce the
intended effect. Close personal ac
quaintance with the man and bis
ideas seems to have produced a gen
eral desire to vote the opposite
ticket.
A democratic exchange says "the
democratic party stands for princi
ples that never die." Possibly; but
it has stood for a miscellaneous as
sortment that are as dead as Julius
Cicsar.

One day, a legal correspondent writes,
before th Ute lord chief justice took
sick, he was aittioe in court when an

He began his epeecti of set purpose witti

tlemen, I do not speak Sott-b, but I
vole Scoth." Tremendous applause
followed, whereupon Sir Charles pro
ceeded, "and I sometimes drink Scotch."
With this his hold ou the aadieuce was
secured.
Although unrivalled in the art of croft
examination, on one occasion he was
distinctly beaten by a witness. "What
is your age?" he asked. "Is it rny age
you are asking?" replied the witness.
"Yes sir. Now speak op and be exact."
"And be exact? Well of all the "
"The court does not desire to hear any

true. I was born on February 20ih, in
leap year, and my birthday only comes

Otla Savag-e 1'arduned,
Governor Geer yesterday issued
pardon to Otis Savage, of this city, who
was convicted of larceny of money from
the Pacific Express Company six years
ago and sentenced to f.ur years in the
penitentiary. At the close of the trial
an appeal was taken to the supreme
court and Savage was admitted to bail,
pending the hearing of the appeal. For
some reason that no one has ever been
able to explain the appeal was not per
fected on the part of the state till about
fivo and a half years after the trial and
not till almost six years had passed was
the ' matter decided by the enpreree
court and the judgment of the lower
conrt affirmed.
When the decision of the supreme
court was announced a petition for
Savage's pardon was signed by a large
number of the taxpayers and business
men of Wasco county. It was urged on
the grounds that six years had elapsed
since bis conviction, during which time
be bad been out on bonds, while the
sentence itself was for but four years.
It was nrged that the delay was without
fault on his part, and the district at
torney who prosecuted him advised that
no good purpose would now be served
ry bis incarceration, iiestdes it was
urged, in absolute good faith, that
Savage's health was such that he could
not stand the confinement to which he
was sentenced.
The signers of the .petition were, in
addition, largely influenced by the fact
that, whether guilty of the crime
charged against him or not, the boy has
since lejl a quiet and orderly life and
has made no attempt to eecipe the con
sequences of his sentence by flight.
If Thk Chronicle understands the
sentiments of the people, and it thinks
it does, the action of the governor will
meet the approval of a large majority of
the people.
Inspecting Arid Landa.
In Eastern Oregon, Wisconsin and
Minnesota capitalists are inspecting the
country in the interests of the Dei
Chutes Consolidated Irrrigation Com
pany, says the Telegram. As stated be
fore, the company has for its objects the
irrigation of 80,000 acres of semi-arid
land. In case the experiment pioves
successful, and the promoters have no
doubt regarding the result, there are
1,000,000 acres of the same kind of land
that can be made to blossom as the gar
den by the aid of water, which will be
easily obtained by digging canals and
utilizing a part of the large water flow
of the Des Chutes river.

pany, la in charge of the expedition.

owinr to the mistakes, domestic and
foreign, of his ministers, he wan most
unpopular and reviled n "the Aus
trian colonel," she always remained
an object of so much affection on the
part of the people of every shade of
political opinion that the field daisy
was chosen in her honor as the em
blem of a number of political socie
ties, gome of them, such as the Italia
irredenta, bcinjr hostile alike to the
government and to the kiiifr. I'nt for
a queen to be popular in Italy it is
necessary that she be of Italian birth
and of Italian disposition, and neither
the Monteii'-irrin-born Queen Helen
nor yet the French-born Duchess
Helen of Aost.i, who, as the wife of
the heir-apparent of the crown, may
eventually succeed her as queen, is
ever- likely to pive the same amount
of political support to her husband us
Queen Marjrheritn was able to furnish
to the late Kinr Humbert. Nor is it
probable that she will ever share to
the same degree as her mother-in-law
the duties of her husband ua ruler.
Humbert waa notoriously influenced
in many mat tors by his consort, es
pecially in connection with the triple
alliance, which she induced him to
join. Hut Queen Helen is completely
dominated by her diminutive husband,
who, like so many small men, is far
too autocratic to accept any advice or
to brook any interference, even on
the part of hia wife, in his duties nsi
ruler.
