OREGON OITY, NOVEMBER 6,. 1903 ' The tennis players' will all vote for Mr. Roosevelt. v ' ' ' It looks as if Attorney General Knox was hand in glove with Lit; tauer'. It. will soon be . time for either Schwab or Morgan1 to turn stale's evidence. As in a lare hotel, the messen gers in the White House must now wear uniforms. Hanna's speeches would lead one to believe that he was after the poker players vote. Dowie abuses the reporters in payment for the free advertisement given him by the press. The steel bonds are said to be water tight, but they are liable to sink in the flood. Carrie Nation and Dr Parkhurst feel that Dowie is getting more than his share of notoriety. The type-setters run short of "l's" when they set up one of the President s speeches. Mr. Bristow 'required a million words to describe the scandals in the post office department. General Funston advocates more pay for the private soldier and less ornaments on thoofficers uniforms Representative Dittauer hssvkept his "skirts technically clear thanks to the statute of limitations If the President did not Interfere so much in the state campaigns, he would have much more time to play tennis, The President is commander-in chief of the army, and navy, and of the campaign forces of the Re publican party Secretary Shaw has denied the report thathe was a candidate for the.Senate. This was another re lief to the banks. "Vorwoerts", a German social ist paper, doubted the originality of one of the kaiser's speeches. Its editor is now in jail. After the election, the living is sue of the Ohio campaign will be politically dead. His epitaph will read, "He stood pat." Senator Hanna is trying to in duce the voters to look at the im portance of the Ohio senatorship from his point of view. The Missouri in her trial trip yes terday, attained a speed that ap peared to indicate the belief that Joe Folk was after her. If we now had a Democratic ad ministration the Republicans would not beat a loss to explain the pres ent slump In the stock market. Judging from the results of the by-elections in England Mr. Cham berlain has left the Cabinet lust in time to save himself a fall. Lord Alverstone, the British com missioner on the Alaskan Boundary case Is quite as popular In this coun try as Sir Thomas Lipton. Mr. Cleveland's "incorrigible dis location" fits In better with present Wallstreet conditions than Mr. Morgan's "undigested securities." The Maryland elections are lia ble to give a serious shock to Presi dent Roosevelt's reputation as a harmonizer of Republican factions. r nu, un.ii.uw tutu uic r usimasier General have managed to discover two clerks and one or more minor official who can be decapitated without injury to the party, and the order for their execution has, accordingly, been issued. Appar ently the supply of unknowns is inexhaustible. The unusual experience of get ting more than they had the right to expect appears to have soured the disposition of the Canadian Commissioners. . When we start to build the in sular defenses which the army board says are necessary.Secretary Shaw wont have any more surplus to distribute. In a recent speech the President Informs us that we need "the hon esty which keeps its skirts tecru cally clear." This is an example of strenuous rhetoric, In a quarrel between Dr. Park hurst and Dr. Dowie the public can easily , remain , neutral or like the man . watching .. a' fight between his wife and a bear, hope that both will get the worst of it. '" Representative Lucius N. Lit- tauer, of the famous glove contract, has been acquitted by the statute of limitations., Will .he continueto be the close frifind , and political adviser of thV President?, ; , , s Secretary Payne expressed re gret at tire. resignation of suspected postal'' employes, but, Secretary Root said nothing when the head ot the army was f orced, by his age,, to retire from the United btates ser vice. In offering the members of the American Banking Association everything they wanted in San l-rancisco end California, (ov. Pardee evidently reasoned that, if they made up their minds to it, they would take it anyhow. Mrs. rish has thought it all over carefully and come to the conclusion that the idea of an American 400 is ridiculous1 and society will continue frivolous until it begins to take some solid interest in American national life. All of which goes to show that when a woman talks long enough, sne is certain to talk sense sooner or later. Mexico has been asked to surren der one of the St. Louis boodlers as an ct of comity." She will con sent provided our government agrees to grant a similar request coming from Mexico. We hope this kind of international courtesy will not ex tend to China as the Empress would demand all the fugitive editors who are now safe from her execu tioners. Lewis Nixon, the president of the United States Shipbuilding Com pany, testified yesterday that, after an agreement with Schwab to purchase the Bethlehem Steel Plant for? 30,000,000, an agreement was made with J. Pierpont Morgan to buy it for $ 7,246,000 in cash and $ 5,000,000 in stock. Instead of the check for the full amount, one of $7f9i, 791.48 was presented and was indorsed by him without wait ing to see by whom it was signed. Mr. Nixon was unable to say what was done with the stock, but was under the impression that it was taken to a trust company. In view of such a confession, it is surprising that Mr. Schwab took so much, but that he took so little, The Phildelphia lawyer has long been synonymous with great pene tration aud foresight, but here is a story from the Philadelphia Ledger proving that he may be fallible on even these points, A certain judge well known to the present genera tion of Philadelphia lawyers, was recently invited to deliver an ad dress before the graduating class of a southern law school. As he en tered the Commencement hall he read on the swinging door the word "push," he said to himself, as he related the story afterward. He began his remarks something like this: "Gentlemen of the Gradu ating Class: As 1 entered tnis beautiful hall a word met my eye which I would wish you all to take as a motto in your professional ca reers." Everyone instinctively turned to glancejat the door, the orator among the rest. There, on the 'inside, in letters easily read, was the Inscription "Pull. "It was a clean givaway," said the judge later; "I'd let the cat out of the bag then and there, and there was'nt thing to do but to con fess.

One of the immortal things, as mundane matters are counted, is the democratic party. Neither time, nor chance, nor defeats, nor sudden frenzies, can destroy it. The foundations of the party are those few plain stern principles of popular sovreignty for the domin ance of which mankind has strug gled in all nations. , The Democracy may or may not win control of the national admin istration in the coming . election. Certainly it cannot ;t.v.possibly gain the senate before 1907 by the most optimistic calculation; more probably not until 1909, aftef ' the presidential election of i?o8. But in any event the Democratic party will strengthen with, time, As .its bacis principles faith of mankind. there will always be a mighty whost of ,. patriots in America wha. will-do battle for them. ' The main question of Defnocratic action next year will be the plat form. It is not well enough.to sneer at national platforms as. . incon sequential and bombastic pronunci- amentos sounding large and mean ing little. The truth is that the bulk of sensible voters have great regard for platform declarations and expect parties to be faithful to them. In a very peculiar sense the entire nation will look more curious ly and carefully to the Democratic platform of 1904 than to any plat form of either party since 1892, Unless the platform is so framed as to at once challenge the respect, and confidence of the great body of voters in the nation it will be a hard task to commend it to them afterwards by arguments and spell binding hurrahs. The times de mand of the Democracy a platform that will be simple, statesmanlike and thoroughly in keeping with the solid needs of the nation. The platform of i87s, upon which Mr. Tilden was elected to the presi dency, was a model of wisdom,, and brevity. It said what the party meant and the temper of the party combined with the personnel of the ticket won for it a popular majority that was only nullified by ungodly frauds and a packed elec toral com mission. ' It is perfectly possible that the Democracy next year can from the issues now before the country- and none of which are promised settlement by thestandpat republi can managers a platform that will ring like the short, sharp, compell ing blasts of the horn of Rhoderick Dhu.- Thousands upon thousands of honest voters who have adandon- ed faith in the popular purposes of t ie republican party will flock to the Democratic standard as the highlanders did at sight of the flam ing cross of Malise. We believe the work of the convention next year will be thus wise and the re sult of the campaign beyond doubt from its commencement. NEWFOUNDLAND WfiECKERS The Bounty That Ia Gleaned From Dnrrcu Shore. In bygone times It was the practice cf the Newfoundland coast folk to ap propriate everything they secured, but this lawlessness had to be sternly re pressed. Now the unwritten rule Is that they get "halt their baud," or 50 per cent, as salvage. In portable and valuable articles, such as silverware, there Is still a strong temptation to keep the whole, but the punishment Is severe. Champagne, liquors, cabin stores and the like have also a trick of disappearing, and In the poorest fisher's cottage you will come upon rare china, dainty napery, silverware of price and wines to tempt an epi cure. The salvors are reckless aud un thinking, and as they gather in hun dreds every man pre-empts what he can. Iu the rush there Is much de stroyed. When the Herder was lost In 1882 they burned whalebone worth $15,000 a ton to save leather costing 20 cents a pound. In the Gmmellne wreck of 10O0 they trampled crates of costly glassware to get at four cases of French prayer books valued ot 25 cents apiece. On one occasion two salvors had got ashore a piano and were adopting the Solomon-like expe tUent of aawtng It In half when a shrewder chum bought It from them for a bottle of whisky looted from the captain's cabla. Whea the Oraabrook went ashore In 1800 every man on the shore provided himself with a German concertina, ot waka Instruments of torture she had a large conslxumeat, and to secure them packages t much more costly freight were threwa over board. When the Orion, from Balti more for Copenhagen, atrack the back of Cape Race and went to piece abe had a large consignment of bicycles on board, and they were auctioned In fit John's and disposed of all over the Island. The Abbeymore's lading la 1808 Included some case of splendid English rifles for Canada, and thee are now te be seen ailorulng every fisher's cottage along the shore. P. T. McGrath in McClure's.

These are the things out of which blood Is made. If the food Is nutri tious and properly cooked, If the air Is pure and full of oxygen, if the water Is clean and free from Impurities, the blood Will be rich aud red and full of vitality. Barring physical accidents, there Is no sickness except that depending dl rectly upon a waut of food or water or air, sometimes all three. When any one is sick the presumption is that he has been trying to subsist on poor food or vitiated air or bad water, one or more. In order to have good food a person ought to have the first eating of It. Food that has been mussed over and loft by one person is not fit to be eaten by another. In order to have good air a person ought to have the first breathing of it. Air that has been breathed by other persons is not fit to breathe again. Water should be fresh from some spring or well. If hydrant water must be used lot it run a bit, as the house pipes are apt to be of lead and not Iron like the pipes that convey the wa ter through the city. Food that is relished, air that cools and invigorates, water that is quaffed with eager thirst these are the things that make blood. Put fresh air into the lungs, good food and pure water Into the stomach, and nature will do the rest Medical Talk. A TrtHc With a Ears. Place two T shaped wineglasses of the same size near the edge of a table. In the right hand one put an egg, Just fitting the rim of the glass. Hold the basea of the glasses firmly down, the top rims touching each other. Now. with a quick, aharp breath, blow upon the line where the egg and the glass meet. The egg will jump to the other gUsa. With a little practice thia can be done every time. Be careful to blow In a Hue with the left hand glass, or the egg will Jump in the wrong di rection and land on the table with dis astrous results. Bet Objectloa. "Don't you think you are taking the wrong stand when you say you do not wish your son to marry, Mrs. Wil loughbyr" asked an intimate friend. "Don't you know it is natural and best for a young man to marry and that he will not think any the less of his moth er because he has a wife?" "Oh, it isn't that," protested Mrs. Wllloughby.
