Remember, fellow citizens, you
cannoj avoid voting hy failing to

merely' to cast a half a vote against
the'side you would have voted for.

An Ohio woman seeks a divorce
on the ground that her husband, a
wood-carver, has fallen in love with
a wooden figure of his own creation.
Would she rather have him in love
with something alive? Some

well off.
A Georgia young man having
discouvered that his fiancee is bald-
headed, declines to carry out his
promise to marry her. If she has
a big brother of the regulation

The election will be determined
by the vote which will remain
doubtful until the last moment.
There are probably a million men
in the United States who will start
for the polls wanting to vote one
way or the other and yet fearing to
do so fearing either for the future
of the country or for the future of
their jobs. No cause is lost until
it is won.

" Whatever tho difference, if there
has been any, between the country
editor, no-called, of Oregon, and the
Republican state or national com
mittee, any person qualified to hold
An influential position on such 'a
committee ought to recognise and
appreciate at once the value of the
country press. Money would cer
tainly be more worthily and effect
ively used in showing a little liber
ality to the country editors than
iu expending it on "boiler-plate"
syndicate stuff that carries its ma
chine manufactured mark in every
paragraph. Few people realise the
importance and value of party loy
alty, under all circumstances, of
the rural press. In every comniu
uity numerous' voters take only i
country paper and every voter
ouuht, at least, to do that and, of
course, they take the paper that ao
cords most nearly with their polili
cal opinions. This they read, week
after week, year in and year out,
until, perhaps unconsciously, thoy
CO4U0 to believe everything it says,
at least in regard to politics. But,
suppose that a considerable portion
of these papers should become hike
warm; should begin to hint that
the party was not more than' half
right, and was going in the wron
direction; should publish criticisms
as welt aa encomiums; should adopt
an independent tone and give their
readers a view of "the other side,"
would not the result be many more
doubtful voters?
But taking it for granted that the
Republican papers of Oregon, for
example, which outnumber the op
H)ition papers two or three to one,
aro entirely sincere and candid, and
take position they do regardless of
any political reward, should not
their long and continuous labor of
love and patriotism bo rccogniml
and rewarded by thoso who manage
the campaigns and disburse (he
legitimate campaign expenses? Is
it right to act on the supposition
that they will be loyal to the party,
and keep "straight" anyway?
It is not only during a political
campaign that the country editors
are at work for their party and its
principles and policies; they stand
by them through all the interim of
four years, in defeat as well as in
sueees-, through thick and thin,
moat of them without hope or ex
pectation of direct or immediate re
ward. And if, on the occasion of a
presidential campaign, there is
money to expend in a legitimate
way for circulating party literature
facts and arguments and opinions
favorable to one party, and its can-j
didate, a liberal share of it ought to
be distributed among' the country
pupcrs, than which there is no more
effective agency in the land for this
purpose. Whether the country
editor fathers the syndicate-supplu
uicnt stuff or supplies something
belter of his own origination,
fairly deserves some reward for his
continuous, tireless, faithful work
as a partisan instructor and educa
tor. Portland TeWrani.

WASHINGTON, LETTKIV
. Whloglon, 1). C. Oot. 16.
That the administration regards
the crisis, so far as American In
tervsts are concerned, at pait, In
China, or that it is anxious to make
the powers think it does, is shown
by the withdrawal of American
warships frotn Northern .Chinese
waters, in addition to the with
drawal of our troops from China.
This indicates that the purpose for
which the recent ordering of the
battleship Kentucky and the cruiser
Albany to Chinese waters was done
has been accomplished.' The only
two American warships now re
maining in northern Chinese waters
are the New Orleans, at Taku, and
the Monocaey in the IVi-lIo. Those
two will remain all the winter.
Admiral Homy, aboard thcllashij
Brooklyn, is on his way to Manila,
which is the headquarters of the

commander. - Ho will be in ensv

Hon, John (I. Carlisle, who was
Mr. Cleveland's secretary of the
treasury, said while In Washington
a day or two ago, that he did not
intei'd to vote for Bryan or McKin
ley, but he believed the latter would
win, - .
' The publifhed story that Gen.
Chaff.'e captured $278,000 in gold
in lien Tsm and shlptied it to
Washington is amusing to official
circles. Secretary Hoot was inclined
to I) facetious about it when askwi
whether the story wa true, He
said: "I never heard that Gen
Chaffee took any gold at Tien Tsin.
If the treasury iooplc got hold of it,
they took advantage of my absence.
I wouldn't have let them have it
had I been hero." The ficti are
ancient news. Some money was
captured by Rear Admiral Remy's
marines when Tien Tsin was taken,
and it was about the amount men
tioned. The other powers made a
demand Tor the money, but Ad
miral Remy declined to give it up
and deposited it in his own tiame
in an eastern bank, subject to the
order of the navy dep irtmotit, and
it is there yet. This government
has not decided what will be done
with it, and it may be said to 1h
held in trust at present. The Chin
ese government has made no de
mand for it.
Although there are no party poli
tics in the Duughtors of the Ameri
can Revolution, it was brought out
at the celebration of the tenth an
niversary of the organization, in
Washington, several days ago, that
the leading candidates for president
to succeed Mm. Daniel Manning, of
New York, whose re-election is pro-
hibital by the constitution of the
organization, and whoso time will
expire February 22, 1901, are Mrs.
Bryan, wife of Hon. W. J., Bryan,
of Nebraska, and Mrs. Roosevelt,
wife of Gov. Roosevelt, of New
York. The election will not take
place until the 22d of February
next. Both ladies have active par
tisans, but the election for presi
dent of the U. S. will probably be
an important factor in determining
the winner, the Daughters being
fully aware of the social and other
advantages of electing either the
president's or vice-president's wife
to be president of their organiza
tion. Acting Director Sullivan, of the
bureau of engraving and printing,
says the series of postage stamps to
be issued in commemoration of the
Pan American exposition, at Buffa
lo, will not only be different from
any ever issued, but will lie the
handsomest work of its class ever
turned out by the bureau. Each
denomination will have the body
of !he stamp printed in the color
prescribed by law, while it will be
surrounded by an artistic border
printed in a, contrasting color.
They will be the firt stamps print
ed in two colors ever issued by the
government. .
Dr. Geo. E. Lane, of Portland,
Me., who used to be an army sur
geon, is in Washington. He said
on a subject that has been widely
discussed: "Although, ours is a tem
perance state, more liquor has been
sold there than in any other state
of its size. The fees of the sheriff
of Cumberland county the past year
amounted to about 50,000. The
prohibition candidate for sheriff
who was recently elected and will
go into office the first of the year,
has charge of the city mission in
ortland. Republicans and Demo
crats united, giving him the largest
vote enst in years, because he an
nounced that he,, would take only
$3000 as his palary,' turning the
other fees into the county coffers."
'Jr. Lane says prominent Republi
cans are advocating legislation that
will fix a salary for sheriffs and
give the state a high license liquor

FyW Among our citizens have risen

service is, as it were, the history of
the country for half a century.
Judgo William R. Day, who suc
ceeded the lute, John Sherman as
secretary of State, In spunking of
his death snld!
, "In the death of Secretary Slier

greater length of time than any
American now living. He became
prominent iu public lifo as tar hack
as the 50's, when he Was a nimn1-
of the ciingrctfulotiar committee ttmt
yMlod Kansas to investigate the
troubles then prevailing there. He
helped form the Republican party,
and throughout his long career was
one of the most trusted and nblit
leaders. Perhaps his "crowtiiiijj

he carried to successful issue the
act providing for the resumption of

courage.tho high credit of our coun

of its finances at home. He-wo
indeed a great man, and his coun
trymen will mourn his loss and
cherish his memory. His place, in
history is secure, as one of the fore
most of American slate men."
Dr. ithycomlie, of the Stuto
Agricultural cdlege, gives as il
cause- of the partial failure of icrops
the large amount of ruin which Ml
during thu spring and the manner
in which it 'ell. He says that the
laud was packed so hard that it
could not receive proper nourish
ment, and cites thu fact that the
more finely pulverized the soil of
the summer-fallow last (all, the
harder the ground was packed ami
the poorer the crop. Perhaps Dr
Withycombe Is right, but the Wkst
Sipk man has noticed some of the
plowing that is being done and
finds in many cases that live plow
boys turn, over about four inchtjpl
soil. After tho grain has com
menced to grow sheep are turned
in on it and tho ground gets a uod
put-king from the tramping of so
many hoofs. Crops have been
grown so easily heretofore that ihe
average Oiegon farmer is very lax
in his cultivation. Thorough work
usually brings good results in farm
ng as iu other lines.

The Examiuel is telling despond

tunes. The latest is a piece of fulh
erly advice to a jack-uf-all-trades,
who tried everything, from reading
ihilosophic books to making
lype-seuing machine, lo heller his
condition. The Examiner cites the
case of Senator Sharon to show that
no one need despair. Senator
Sharon, we aro told, was forty-six
years old, before he had anything,
In the next tin years ho raked in
something like $lo,000)(XH). This
he did by abandoning the law and
going into banking und kindred
pursuits. This is the first time we
ever heard o an impecunious ex
lawyer going into bunking, That
lino of business is generally follow
ed by people who have something
to bank on. Senator Sharon's com
plaint of povorty at forty-six must
have been something like Miss
Flora McFlimsey's wail about hav
ing nothing to wear merely com
parative misery, - . ' 'J. I
