Well, we can take care of it on this side. No man who has taken part in the in ternational yacht races has the good will of the American people to any great extent except Sir Thomas Lipton. Americans have no ill will towards bim and it is hoped nothing will intervene between now and the new schedule Sept. 21 to break the existing pleasant rela tions. America learned with true reuret of the accident to Shamrock II. Tuinos are not serene in the demo cratic camp in South Carolina. Both Tillman and McLaurin, the United States senators, have resigned and go before the people for a ratification of the coarse pursued by each. It Is really a row as to which shall be the "boss" in the state arjd it would be a blessing to the state if the people would turn both of them down. It has become evident that the short age of Clerk Davis of the school board was caused by speculation and not a wilful stealing. It is probable that lands were taken off the lists with the idea of selling tbem at a profit and then to pay the state. It is claimed that these lands were listed as sold in the same of a man by the name of Kadir who has since died. It is the old story of speculating with money that belongs to the otber man. T. TAI L'S HI Mi l KNTKNM AI.. One of the moot interesting and sug gestive of w hat may I called the minor anniversary occasions ol the present year was that celebrated at Oregon City last Sunday as the semi-centennial of St, Tsui's Fpiscepal church, in that city, says the Portland Orrgonian. The church building is a modest structure, somewhat li-oniy on liie inside, but oc cupying a site overlooking the Willam ette river, romantic rather than com manding, and with the atmosphere of the pioneer era still hanging alout it. No one has known Oregon City at any time, however, during the past fifty years w ithout having had some know ledge of this unpretentious little church snd its workings. The commemorative exercises last SunJav could not fail to recall to the older memWr of the con gregation many honored names that were nnspoken, but which represented jears of faithlul endeavor in the narrow hut gradually widening life of the me tropolis of territorial Oregon. To many, perhaps, the most reverent memories cf the life and work of this church are con nected with the ministry of Rev. John W. Sellwood, who for many of what msy be called the middle years of its history went in and out of the little church and rectory perched upon the river hank, among the meuibers of his parish, prompt in response to every call of duty from whatever quarter the call came, a genial e'erueot In community life, a gen tle ministering presence at the bouse of sorrow, a reverent teacher of religion as interpreted by the creeds of his church. The record of conscientious endeavor was written in the lines of his face pre maturely aged and closed by bis death while yet in the prime of his years. But be still lives in St. Paul's parish an earnest, genial, persuasive presence, the memory of which the years have dimmed but cannot efface. The primary election laws passed at the last session of the legislature are to be tested in the courts. They apply to Multnomah county and are said to con flict with etch other as well as with the constitution. The parties contesting the laws say it is because they are too ex pensive. Primary election laws are un doubtedly a right move but it might be well to get the experience of some other State before going too far in this matter. It was undoubtedly the sentiment of the leginlature outside of Multnomah county that the state did not need or desire a primary law, chiefly ou account of the expense to the people. The rest ol the state can get some benefit from the ex perience in Multnomah county. A statement was recently made by a careful man, professor in one of our leading universities, to the effect that the world's visible coal supply would be practically exhausted in about 100 years. The apprehension that naturally fol lows such a statement from an author itative source may be greatly lessened by B consideration of the vast energy that exists and will ccitinue to exist in our rivers energy thit is being developed from yeivj.year and may be used in unstinted measure without abatement or possibility of abatement of the supply. Beginning, we have in our city, says the Oregonian, extensive street-car and light systems operated by electricity generated by the magnificient volume of water that tumbles and dashes over the rocks at the falls of the Willamette, OIB MODEKX ORACLE OP JJELrUI. Ir one tenth of 1 per cent of wbatia said and written of J. Plerpont Morgan's all-pervading influence upon the finan cial world were tue we have arrived at that period when earth is famed with but one man. In the language ol the impatient Cassius He doth bestride the narrow world hike a Colossus, and we petty men Walk under his huge legs and peep about To find eureelvea dishonorable graves. But the J. I'ierpont Morgan of the New York and London dispatches is a myth a great financial fetish. He pur sues his business and his pleasure like other men and infatuated correspond ents do the rest. His every movement is multiplied and mystified until the vary stars in their courses blink in amaze ment at the gullibility of man. He yawns and the world of Wall street standi agape to wonder what ia coming next. He spits and all Manhattan expector ates. He sips hot water for his dyspepsia and Wall street hastens to liquidate. He is billious and troubled with va pors and straightway the markets of the world, like the goats that breathed the exhalations of the Delphic cavern, are filled with convulsions. He sails for Europe and pandemonium breaks forth in America. He arrives In London ami bids the troubled sea of speculation be calm and immediately it becomes like a mirror in which the reporters see only the re flection of his godlike face. In a hundred ways the press has suc ceeded in building up for J. I'ierpont Morgan in an ever credulous world pre cisely the same reputation that estab lished the oracle at Delphi, to which the princes and nations of the earth brought their costliest offerings in return for Del phic favors. His bank is the altar of the oracle, and it is no wonder that it has become the Mecca before which every business promoter and captain of industry lays his plans with a promise of a rake-off for a favoring argury. lua Lengthy l,t tt.T Which Ii Nut the Personification of Polltcuess. (To the F.ditor.) Your last week's Molalla correspondent has seen fit to make a lengthy statement renarding a certain public road leading by my ranch w hich on account of its utter w ish to answer. This road In question was legally laid out 47 years ag and has been continu ally worked and traveled since, and while the part at my ranch has not been worked as much as It should have Ix-en, yet that is not the fault of tho public. I'p to the time the new row I law went into etlect requiring caitti to be paid thin road was worked along my ranch, and on both side of my ranch it ha Uen and is still being worked. Other roads have been laid out along and through the Jordan ranch I admit, and all these road without one exception lead into (hi one road, o by closing this road all the others will I practically closed. As to mv being the only one interested will say, Cyrus Jones, one of the heavy taxpayer of this county, own -4 40 acres of land through which this road ruua ami by closing said road his land would be shut in ffom a road ami he feels he w ill be greatly damaged and asks with myself and 30 other that the old road be relocated. Mr. Jordan was satisfied with this road until he saw a chance to lence his ranch by fencing np a gp ecru this road joining fences with me on one aid and with Jones on the other. Now when a man get so small he will ask his neighbors to fence hi ranch and not pay a ceut or in any way help to keep up the fenc4 he is a little too small for anv community ; huwever be is just the kind of man that will sneak down to county court and by false statements as-lstcd by a lot of hybrids such as your Molalla correspondent, seek to in due nee the county court. As to giving land for a road, how could I give land more than I have giv en fur the relocation of a road that as originally laid out did not claim more than I have given. The county court ordered a resurvey of an old road and not the laying out of a new road. I BROWNS AUK OUT Soli Tlit'lr liilriTsI In Oitkoii City MMiufurtiirliiK Co. j ..colt ititos.

Tl viewers will say the honorable county court appoints the viewers and while one of the viewers is a cousin twice removed, he is nevertheless a gentleman of whom I am proud to claim even so remote a relationship. I attribute my own suc cess in life to the cause of having such blood in my veins for otherwise I might belong to'the hybrid class to which your Molalla correspondent belongs. As to the relationship existing between my self and the other viewers I am at a loss to name. He is a step brother of my mother, making me, I suppose, a step nephew; that means no doubt I am a step above the Darwinian origin to which your Molalla correspondent be longs. The fact of the business is I hardly think his Darwinian ancestors have been long enough from the primi tive forests for the correspondent in question to have advanced along the lines of evolution to that degree where he is entitled to be called a man ; he has not advanced, seemingly, to that point where he baa a name; if he bad he would not write such a bundle of false hood ; but like one of the class of leech es to w hich he belongs he does his work in the dark. When one seea such a biped he is led to think of the fable of the snake biting its benefactor who warmed it back to life. This road matter is up to the county court, and now let Jordan come with his momtrel assistants and meet me at the next county court in June where the court uiay hear both sides at once as I have aiked him before to do and not sneak down after I have returned home and present a bundle of false statements to the court as he has done in the past.

"A lady customer, seeing the remedy exposed for sale on my show case, said to me: 'I really be lieve that medicine saved my life the past summer while at the shore,' and she became so enthusiastic over its mer its that I at once made up my mind to recommend it in the future. Kecentlv a gentleman came into my store so over come with colic pains that he sank at once to the floor. I gave him a dose of this remedy which helped him. I re peated the dose and in 15 minutes he left mv store smilingly informing me that he felt as well as ever." Hold by G. A. Harding, druggist. president, A. K.
