In selecting a party, principles, prac ticability and previous political affilia tions are factors to be taken into con sideration, and the last of these is, in my opinion, the least. For the purpose of political advance ment, party fealty is indispensable.

The people alone are sovereign. ONLY A SUQllT CHANGE. In a recont speech in Kentucky, Mr Bryan compared the position of Presi- 4ent McKinloy with that of George III. L off though the man with the legiance and a capacity for the assimila tion of "crow" are prerequisites to po litical preferment. But for the non-ofllce seeking masses, parlies are a means, not art end, and one who has the good of his conntry at heart finds it necessary to have his party col lar a "biggish" fit so he can easily slip towards the American colonies in 1776. He cited the president's statement that the United States would hold the archl polfcgo, and further quoted him as say, Ug- "I confidently believe that congress ill provide for these people a govern' at-nt that will bring them blessings and advanoe their material interests.' "Channe this sentence but slightly," aid Mr. Bryan, "put 'parliament' for 'congress' and 'colonies' Instead of 'peo- dIo' nd you have a declaration exactly in line with the policy of King George -v,nn tin American patriots were in revolution." A.min. nut'cortos'ln place of "con - o ' - ... "string" relaxes his "pull" not a bit. Your servant has shed his a number of times, and if he has any regret in this connection It is that he did not shed it aB often as he should have done. II the present drift of the democratic party is continued I see no reason why it may not become the abiding place, temporarily at least, of those opposed to the present national administration Be it remembered that a regular ses sion of the board of county commission ers for the county of Clackamas, state of Orpron. beeun and held in the court house in said county and state on Wed nesday, the 8th day of November, 1899, the same being the regular time fixed by said boaid for holding a regular session of said board for the transaction Of connty business.
