If thlsnoticeis marked your Bubseiiption is due For President, ALTON B. PARKER. For Vice-President HENRY G. DAVIS. In Rome cases it appears that silence is ilvern and that speech is golden. Oedipm has at last spoken plainly from Esopna and bis perhaps solved the cf the political Sphinx. The United States government has bought Jefferson's private papers 137 quarto volumes of bound manuscript. They include 26,000 letters written to Jefferson and 16,000 letters written By him. Few puplic men have ever been more voluminous. William Jennings Bryan at St. Louis ought manfully for bis theories and con victions and was squarely defeated. The magnanimous spirit in which he accept' d the result made him virtually ' the victor, for it is certain he never before Sisd so many friends in America as he has today. When little Alton Parker gleefully ran to his mother with the great news that he bad been appointed janitor of building, and when Henry Davis was thrilled by his promotion to be brake' man on the B. & O. neither of them thought that those occurences would have an effect on the Presidential elec tion of 1904. other, we dashed the cup of self-govern ment from the thirsty lips of a nation and the result was hatred, war, the squandering of hundred of millions of treasure, and the deluging of the Phil ippines with the blood of their people," TREADING DANGEROUS GROUND. On Tuesday there was unve iled near the north corner of the District of Col umbia a monument to th soldiers of the 122nd N. Y. Volunteers, who fell in the tight there on July 12, 1864. This small battle became historic because it check d the advance of Early's army, which rhad thrown the capital into a panic. The New York Tribune declare! that ''Federal officials are redy for a rein soection of steamboats." Some boats have been laid up by the Supervising Inspector General of the department of Commerce and Labor, but none of those who are guilty of the Sloeuui hor ror seem to be trembling in anticipation of condign punishment. Is it possible that the administration cannot bring these men to book T The nominating speeches at the St. Louis convention were extraordinarily able Slid entertaining. Such pictur esque speeches as those of Littleton, Carmack and Overmeyer, should be Tead by every Democrat as much as the platform itself. Littleton is an epi grammatist and unrivaled phrase-maker and the distinguished Sunator. from Tennebsee is knowu throughout the land as an unrivaled blieter-niaker. Somk local politicians have expressed vu.,)rie that Cape. Hobaon can utter ucb sentiments on the "Mission of America" an were contained in his lec ture at the Chautauqua grounds, and yet lie a Democrat. In other words, they are at a loss to understand how we can extend our influence or benefit the be' flighted of other Undo without first sub jugating them by force of arms, and owning them, soul and body. Such ideas prevailed during the middle ages but they are scarcely up to the standard of a Christianized nation. The talk of war that characterizes the utterances of Republican leaders, pres ages no good to the country. Possibly it does not mean that we shall have war there is no occasion for an armed conflict at present. Yet if the martial spirit be aroused, and the minds of the people be led to dwell on the glories of warfare, an occasion will be found for giving vent to that spirit. Not only this, but a more imminent danger confronts us when the leaders of the dominant party take up the cry ot war. It often means, it means now, that the martial spirit is being aroused in order to divert attention trom ine closer riveting of the chains that en slave the toiling masses. The trusts are not yet satisfied with the hold they have on the people's pro ducts. The capital iat is as yet uncer tain whether he dares go to the full ex tent he desires, in extorting from - the people a still greater Bbare of their hard earned weatltb. The truit magnate doss not wish war,' real war, but Le knows human nature, and he conse quently knows that the battle-cry will do more than anything else to leave him free to further work his nefarious schemts. Stop a moment and think to what this belligerent spirit may lead us. Is it consonant with the general trend of Our civilization? Is it in accord with the religion which we possess. And yet it is taking possesaion of our newspaper", our lecture platforms, even our pulpits. Not all are carried away bv tu desire for blood. On a public platform, and before an audience of 3000, people, a noted professor in a denominational achool, who claims to be a follower of the meek and lowly Jesus, recently in troduced a naval hero to the audience. Throughout this introduction, sounded a martial note; but strangely, the war rior's address was an eloquent plea for peace. War aometimes becomes a necessity ; nor is it incompatible with the mission of a Christian minister to uphold a war againat tyranny and oppression ; but for a minister, or any other Christian to seek to arouse a warlike feeling in times of peace, appears an act &t variance with his profession. The reader may, or may not, be an admirer of Bryan. He may, or may not believe Bryan to be sincere in his utterances; but if be be animated by a desire to aee the onward march of civilization and the development of peace and good will am.ing the nations, he can but applaud the sentiments ex pressed by the Nebraska statesman in a speech before the St Loula convention. Bryan quoted an extract from Black's speech nominating Roosevelt, declaring th-.t war still has its usea. Tuiiis eulogy of war," sa'd Bryan, "This is a declaration that the long-hoped-for perpetual peace will never come. This is eulogizing the doctrine of brute force and this president, a can didate for re-election, is represented as the embodiment of that idea. "For two thousand years the doctrine of peace has been growing and now an ex-governor of the greatest state in the nation presents for the olllce of presi dent of the greatest republic a man wh is granite and iron. If the president believes with his sponsor at Chicago that wars must set tle the destinies of nations; that peace is but a dream, he is a dangerous man for our country and for the world." We are not many generations reniov ed from the time when war with Its ac companiments of bloodshed and rapine and demoniacal cruelty, was esteemed the only honorable occupation; nor uld it be impossible to cause a re version to that state of mind. Thoie who are now eulogiziug war, may some day find that they have kindled a fiame that will soon be beyond their control. Wherever we appeal to the lower in- stiucts of man, we are treading upon dangerous ground. Since the Dutch re-established slavery in their East Indian possessions they perpretated a series of slaughters that have been a disgrace to Holland. On June 20th and 23rd they attacked "the nemy" the Achiuese fighting for their liberty and with machine guus suc ceeded in killing 1,08(1, including 4ti7 women and 213 children. The Dutch "casualties" were none killed and 42 wounded. Of course the Achinese are an inferior race and so the Dutch have a right to benevolently assimilate them and carry to them the blessings- of .liberty. Congressman McCall in his Fourth of Julv oration said : "Compare the work ing of the American Idea in Cuba ami its opposite in the Philippines. In the one we saw a people degraded by cen turies of despotism taking their place of lionor among nations, showing under freedom a stature they had ' never at tained before, gratefully receiving their Lodependeuco at our hands. In the DYSPEPSIA ON THE DECLINE. Huntley Brothers Claim Pepslkola Cures 39 Cases out of 40. Why any one in Oregon City should continue to sutler with indigestion when a 25 cent box of 1'ki'sikoi.a will cure is certainly a mystery. Huntley Bros, have been selling Pkcbikola quite some time now, and tliey know from actual experience right In their own store just what this famous little chocolate coated dyspepsia tablet will do, and if you make inquiry these druggists will tell you they never knew a remedy to prove so decid edly beneficial in the treatment of indi gestion, dyspepsia, palpitation, sleep lessness and other lorms ot siomacn trouble. It certainly ougat to give you confidence when you know that every box of Pki-sikola contains 10 days treat ment, and at the end 61 that time if you are not decidedly benefitted all you need do is to go back to the druggist and get your niouey. I'ursiKOi.A is sold right on its own merits. It curea indigestion simply by toning up the stomach and digestive organs so that the food will as similate and give strength to the system, as nature intended. And 1'epsikola is such a grand nerve tonio, too. J utt try a 15 cent box and see if it don't give you new energy, new ambition and new cour age to carrv out your plans and daily work. If it doesn't, your money back. CLACKAMAS COUNTY COURT. Business Transacted at July Terra.
