crn state of Indiana has resalted in
.aaeeh violence and the deat'i of six in
mecent white bystanders and the
wounding unto death of many more.
"The negro ' outrages at the present
'ime seem to have shifted from the
HDemooratio states of the South to the
. Republican states of the North and it
Mob' violence can not, be justified '
neither nortn or soutn ; out man . is
.just about the same in all the states.
On next Tuesday the Tenth Annual
Session of the Willamette Valley will
e thrown open to the world. The
-.xograiimie is the most inviting which
.'da as ever yet' been presentod to the
3jwple of this Valley.' Every man,
1 . .. K
'.Claciauias county and in the adjoin
ing, counties should take more than
.a, passing interest in the Chrcutauqua.
. It is oar institution. It brings two
weeks of rst and delightful literary
eaitertainment. Attend its meetings,
join its classes and enjoy it to the
wntmost. It will do you all good.
The proposition to nominate Undo
tfarcus Hanna for the vice presidency
h.aa boon killod by his big right hand
ton the identical bald spot whore it
flighted. Those politicians who as
.small boys stood around the circus
Strain and saw the elephant push the
;ulmal cagos o n the cars evidently
thought it ' would be a downright
tsuto idea to get Uncle Mark to do
Alio trick for the Republican band
iWagon in the coming campaign. But
' ;hat wilyi wide-awake Warwick, from
,Ohlo refuses to entertain the job for
niitoy minute. ' 1
,' Senator Hanna knows that as sona
'.',tor -and chairman of the Republican
national committee he can have and
."iiold more power and diotate terms
'.Ixitter to his purpose than as vice
president. . Granting that he believes 1
Jliat nothing can come iuto the cam
jiaign to defeat the Republican ticket,
et he almost indignantly repels the
.suggestion that he should be sustain
ing hindlegs.
Rathor strongly, we think, he inti
mates that unless he is himself at the
head of the Republican management
o keep the oapitaliss and the labor
ing elomont both iu line on election
day there might bo no president
Roosevelt after 4th of March, 1905.
.At the same time, also, we may ro-
"jiiarlc that Senator Hanna will probab
ly dictate who shall run for viceprosi--dent.
Some persons insist that Mr.
1 Roosevelt will insist upon selecting
' his own running mate, but it must
he remembered that it was your Undo
Marcus who made Mr. Roosevelt run
for the vice presidency, even while
that gentleman was swearing cyolonio
oaths that lie woulld not do bo I Keep
jour eye on Uncle Marcus he is a
luagioiau of politics.
" Calculating from past experience
' this coutury will be paying for the
liberation of Cuba for a hundred and
forty-seven years to come. According
o last years record we are still pay
ing pensions to four widows and four
"laughters of pensioners of the revolu
tionary war, and that war ended
nearly a hundred and twenty years
go. One survivor of the war of 1812
is yet getting his quarterly pension
reheeks and 13T1 widows of his com
:dos, are doing likewise. There are -AH'iS
Mexican war pensioners living
. itud the widows of 8017 are drawing
pensions on that account. The nnm
4er jf civil war pensioners a year ago
was 11911,440.
At the present tiuiethere are 63,000
.applications for pensions on account
nt the war witli Spain in 1898 and
i3,0tX of them favorably acted upon.
It is calculated that within a few
mouths there will be one application
r a Spanish war pension to every
two of the soldiers enlisted in that
war. The pension agents are doing a
land oftlee business in this line, and
when we calculate the number of
young men in that army and their
jnarringo at later years than this it
is plain to reckon that iu the year
200.1 we will have a comfortable
-.Spanish war pension list still on hand.
The bureau figures that the last of
these pensions uiaybe paid out in the
year 2050.
It is grand and glorious to go the
relief of an oppressed people but
what about our own people who have
to be oppressed by pension taxation
unto the fourth generation to balance
the philanthropic bill of costs?
WATSON ON THE LIFE OF JEFFERSON
The new history of the life and
times of Thomas Jefferson by Thomas
B. Watson, one of the most brilliant
and versatile writers of the South
and a few years ago the candidate of
the Populist party for Vice President,
has only recently been issued from the
Press. The book is delightfuully
written and ( its reading will give
everyone much pleasure and a new
insight into the character and habits
of the patron saint of the Democratic
party. The following is an extract
from one of its delightful pages. .
His manners were simple and cor
dial, his voice pleasing to the ear
and his temper gentle, conciliatory,
forgiving. No rancor or vindictive-
ness marred his youth, and there is
no recorded instance to his' having
been subjected to a personnal insult
or drawn into, a personal" brawl.
He was a temperate, truthful, honest,
warm-hearted boy ; one whom the
young people liked because of his
genial, social, sport-loving . nature j
one whom the elders liked because
he gave no rein to vices; was a pat
tern of good behavior and was de
ferential to his seniors. He. did not
use tobaoco, did not gamble, was not
profane and did not look upon white
wine or red. ' '
In after life he drank but one glass
of water per day, and did indulge in
several glasses of wine. So also his
faithful account books show that
when he had grown older he won
nearly as much as $3 at one sitting at
a game of cards and 14 cents at back
gammon. At lotto he met with dis
aster, for he records that he lost $5
at one time. In other words, Jeffer
son played games of chance for trifl
ing stakes just as Washington and
the others, including the state clergy,
did in those days. It was a . social
pastime with them, and, with them,
went no further.
It may have been after his Water
loo at looto, that Mr. Jefferson
planned this truism: "Gambling
porrupts all dispositions and creates
a habit of hostility against all man
kind.", Later in life his manners to
strangers seemed , oold and reserved
and he developed, a oapacity for
hatred whioh would have satisfied!.
Sam Johnson. This was, however,
after, he had, been ; through the sflry
ordeal of politics, had been beat upon
by the fiercest storm of abuse and
slander that ever assailed a statesman
so essentially pure, sa . absolutely
patriotic, so consistently unselfish
and benevolent.
One of the most beautiful traits in
Mr. Jefferson's character was his
capaoity for friendship deep, lasting,
tender, splendidly loyal friendships.
Few were the individuals he ever
hated, and he loved a graat many
some of them being persons whom
others found it hard to love John
Adams, for example-. We will find
these friendships multiplying around
him at every stage of his career, we
will see y them embrace all sorts and
conditions of nion. We will see his
sympathetic affections reaching out to
warriors like Paul Jones and George
Rogers Clark, to savants like Bonffn
and Oabanis, His circle, of good fel
lowship embraced such " opposite
characters as the Abbe Oorea and Dr.
Rush, the marquis of, Chastelleux,
and Samuel Adams, Benjamin if ran
kliu and Tobias Lear. He was en
deared to English Priestly and to
French Lafayette, , to Mazzoi, the
Italian, and Kosciusko, the Pole ; to
James Madison, the scholarly states
man, and to Thomas Paino, tho un
polished patriot And few men have
ever shown more downright pluck in
standing by his friends even when he
incurred abuse and losses by doing so.

tomb of Napoleon' 1. during the reign
of Napoleon III. "The coffin is not yet
