Perhaps as a mnttor of habit, or so
as to keep up tho torm and semblance
of nn organization, tho democrats got
together nnd go through tho motions
of adopting platforms and nominating
candidates, though nono of them who
can sco things clearly can havo any
liopo of success. It Is well enough for
them to go through theso motions; It
Is woll to maintain an organization,
.and to perform tho functions of a ml
norlty party, but ono would think they
would becorno discouraged and fairly
disgusted after nwhllo. Dut when wo
boo how tho prohibitionists koop at It,
though not making any gains, wo can
not wonder thnt tho democrats kcop
trying, In tho hope that their time
may come. Dut Just now, If thoy can
porcolvo tho truth, succoss scorns
further off than for tho last thirty
years.
It would bo woll If tho democratic
party wcro stronger, In tho north, and
if tho solid South could bo broken up.
It would bo woll If tho democratic
party woro strongor In Oregon, and
particularly In Multnomah county.
Tho gamo of politics horo Is too one
nldod to bo Interesting, which Ib not
very Important; but If tho democrats
woro strongor tho republicans would
bo moro caroful to put only their best
men nnd measures to tho front. This
thoy do anyway, as a rulo; thoy glvo
tho democrats but Blight cnuso or op
portunity for affoctlvo opposition;
but n moro nearly equal division of
party forcoa would bo bettor.
But why tho domocrnts In Multnom
ah county, In Oregon, or oven In tho
nation, should, wrangle, and struggle,
and mnko groat efforts among them-
solves, Just ns If thoy had a chance to
win, Is not easily understood. Local-

GENERAL JAMES M. ASIITON.
Tho announcement of tho candldncy
of Hon, James M. Ashton for dolcgato
to tho republican national convention
from tho state of Washington has
has brought prominently into tho
public oyo a man of a romarkahlo
carcor. Fow mon, not yet pnst tho
morldlnn of life, havo attained tho
snmo degrco of succors.
Goncral Ashton was born on tho
north shoro of Lako Ontario, Canada,
whoro ho romnlncd until his cloventh
year, when ho removed with his par
ents to tho United States, sottllng
nenr Chicago. Tho early years of his
life woro spent In nn enrnest endeav
or to acqulro an education which ho
succeeded In obtaining, unaided by
any ono; his parents bolng at tho tlmo
unablo to assist him in his effort to
got a learning.

himself for tho bnttlo of life, taking

Oonoral Ashton Is nn nctlve, earn
est und consistent republican, nnd hns
taken part In every battle fought for
tho principles of that party during
his long rcsldonco In tho stnto of
Washington. In 18SC Mr. ABhton was
appointed gonornl consul for tho
Northern Pnclllo Railway Co., a posi
tion ho held for 10 years, during
which tlmo ho handled successfully
for tho company Bomo of tho most
Important litigation tho courts havo
over been cnlled upon to judlcate.
Tho republicans of tho state of
Washington named Gonornl Ashton
lis dolegnto to tho Philadelphia con
vention, In 1900, nnd In recognition
of IiIh standing as a cltlzon nnd his
ability ns nn orator, tho several Pa
cine coast delegations solcctcd him
to Bccond tho nomination of Govornor
Roosevelt for vlco-proaldent . of tho
United Stntes.
It la but fitting, In vlow of tho past
sorvlces of Gonornl Ashton, that tho
lepuhllcnns of tho progrosslvo Btato

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.
Tho four republican cnndldntos for
presidential doctors In Oregon aro
nil lawyers, nil good speakers, all
prominent locally In their profession
nnd othorwlso, nnd nil havo held pub.
Ho positions of trust. Tho oldest ono
of tho four, though yet in tho prime
of llfo, ex-Judgo James A. Feo, of
Pendleton, has by Industry nnd abll.
Ity pushed himself to tho front iu his
then expected that ho would nchlevo
the. succeu that he baa achieved. By
business, however, ho soon acquired
n good practice, und nn enviable rep
utatlon. In a few years ho was nom
inatcd for circuit Judge, the district
then Including Umatilla, Union, Bak-
cr, Grant, Harney and Marhour coun-
ties, and though tho district was
democratic then, and few thought ho
,,,,., v. . . . ,
would bo elected, ho was elected, and
began his arduous duties. Theso ho
porformed so well ithat at tho oxplra-
tlon of his term ho was re-elected by
a largo majority, but before this torm
flco slnco, ho has taken a very actlvo
part In politics, and is recognized not
only In Umntllla county, but through'
very popular in his homo city, and In
Clackamas county.
Julius N. Hart is a rlelng nnd
prominent young lawyer of Ynmhlll
county, having already served a term
us district attorney of tho third Judic
ial district to tho satisfaction of tho
pooplo, nnd ho will bo heard from not
only during tho campaign but In tho
futuro.
A. C. Hough, of Grants Pass, Is
also prominent and successful ns a
lawyer, and highly esteemed as a
citizen at homo and throughout
Southern Oregon.
Theso four mon mnko' a strong elec
toral team, and will uphold tho ban
ner of tho .republican party with
credit to it and to themselves in tho
coming campaign.
NOTHING DOING YET.
Everything Is politically quiet as
yet In this big county of Oregon. The
political pot that tho country editors
always speak nbout scnrccly simmers
shows no signs of boiling. Repub
lican candidates aro all, or nearly nil,
entirely confident, nnd don't enro to
wnsto onorgy In unnecessary efforts.
Tho democrats know they aro up
against It, and "what's tho uso?".
Yot thoro will bo somo stir within
(Tweok of two, republican candidates
will bo Investigating to sco if every
thing Is running smoothly and If
thoro nro mils' off their fences any-
whoro, and domocrnts will bo making
closo scouting observations to sco If
thoro nro any wenk places whoro
they can mnko a breach. Thoy don't
expect to nccompllsh much, of courso,
but from tho cursory vlow so fnr
taken thoy havo a faint hopo thnt
they can brenk in In ono or two
places, at least.
,Uy tho, ond of another week the
cnmpnlgn committees will bo organ
ized nnd ready for formnl nnd actlvo
business, funilB will bo on hand for
tho necessary expenses of n brief and
not vory Interesting campaign, nnd
thoro mny bo n cloaror outlook as to
tho prospect for tho ono, two or three
democratic candidates who It Is
thought by eomo havo a slight
chanco to win.
MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.
Still tho dispute goes on as to
whether Mr. Cleveland, whllo presi
dent, entertained tho late Fred Doug
las at his tablo, and In othor in
stances showed courtesy to prominent
Nogroea. Ho has foollsnly denied one
or moro of tho specifications, though
In terms indicating that If ho had
dono what Is charged ha would havo
no npollglcs to mako for It. But sup
poso ho did oxtond a courtesy to Fred
Douglas, as President Roosevelt did
to Bookor T. Washington? Is that
anything disgraceful, or ovon reason
ably Impolitic? That doesn't of Itself
doclaro for, much less mako or set
up, tho "social equality" that some of
tho Southern chivalry aro roaring so
nbout. A man with a colored skin Is
stilt a man. Ho Is moro a cltlzon. Ho
la nn American. And many colored
men aro Intelligent, useful, patriotic
und capable mon nnd citizens. This
howl about Mr. Cleveland having ap
pointed a fow of them to ofllce, or al
lowed them In tho whlto houso, Is a
case of straining at a gnat, on tho
part of those who gulp down camels.
ANOTHER BENEFACTION.
Slnco publishing an article two
weeks ago commondatory of tho gen
erosity nud public spirltldness of Mr
W. M. Ladd, It Iisb been announced
that ho will build a home for tho art
association and artists or Portland on
tbe quarter block donated for tha
Mr. Corbott also left $50,000 to tho
art association, but only to bo avail
able when It doubled, so the Ladd es
tate heirs will erect a building now.
That will servo va very useful public
purpose for .several years. Very
likely, when Portland has grown up
to tho need of one, the I. adds will
also help to erect a far larger and
better art temple. This Is ono sam
ple of Mr. Ladd's generosity nnd prac
tical good work; and farther down
town Is another one, pcrhnps not less
useful a building, going up to bo used
us a religious mission houso on a lot
that ho donated. Portland is a rich
city In many ways, but It would bo
far richer if It had ten times as many
men like Mr. Ladd.

AMUSEMENTS IN RELATION TO RELIG.ON.
Br Ht. Her. George r. Seymour, Bishop ot SprlngtleU.
Tho mistake which many make Is that they
condemn with a sentence of absolute banishment
certain classes of amusement which are often
abused, It is true, but which still have their
rightful place In the sphere of human relaxation
and enjoyment, such' as tho drama, and dancing.
Hid specified games. Now, It is obvious that
lies things which are proscribed, put under the
jan, as Intrinsically evil, are not in themselvei
Til ac uil.
A story drawn out Into detail under the guidance of the
principles of art and illustrated by appropriate scenery and
dress Is not In itself evil. The story may be vicious, nnd
tho actors may be bad In conduct, but these faults
aro not Inherent In tho drama; they are due to accidents
that the play Is bad and the players are demoralized. The
drama In Itself Is high art; Indeed, lays under contribu
tion in Its successful production many departments of art
and culture. It may bo made an Instrument powerful for
good as well as evil. Its principles nre embodied In much
of the teaching of the Old Testament and of the New.
Dancing Is the poetry of motion; It Is the. expression to
the eyo of what music conveys to the car. It Is oftentimes
spontaneous and Involuntary. Tho hand, the head, the
body, will without our thought or consent keep time with
the tune which floats In upon us from tho voice of the
sweet singer or tho notes of the Instrument. To teach,
therefore, that dancing Is In Itself evil and Is to be avoided
cs sin Is as grave nn error as can well be committed. It
Is an Impeachment of the truth of God; It ie an indictment
against the handiwork of our Maker In the highest and
best Instincts of our nature; It Is calculated to bewilder
the moral sense, especially of the young, at to good and
evil, and leave them a prey to the direct results In the
ethics of their dally life.
A safo and simple rule to guide us In deciding whnt
wo may lawfully and properly do In any case where wo nro
In doubt Is to nsk tho question: 'Could we Invoke God'r
blessing ujon what we are about to do? Could wo bring
it Into God's presence?" nnd If wo can respond "yes" to
these Inquiries, then we nro right, and may go forward
with tho confident assurance thnt we shall not Incur con
dcmnatlon for our conduct. Times and manners, It Is true,
have changed since tho old days of Miriam, and David, and
Solomon, but evil has not become good, nor good evlL
INSTRUCTION IN HYGIENE THE NATION'S DUTY.
Br Andre Wilson.
It Is at least a cheering sign of the times that
earnest men and women' who have regard to the
serious side of life are beginning to evlnco an
active Interest In the physical welfare of chll
drcn. The deterioration In physique, especially
of the children ot the masses, may be taken to bo
a real matter. There Is no questioning that the
ovll, and a serious one It Is, exists in full force.
The testimony ot teachers and doctors alike Is
unaulmous In Its strong protestation
degeneration, and of the need for Its betterment.
Of into some Interesting nnd Instructive details have
been afforded through the Investigations of Dr. W. Hall
In Leeds, England, on the physical condition of school chll
drcn In that city. Ono part of this research Is of highly
Important character, Inasmuch as It bears upon the relative
development of two races, Jow and Gentile, and upon the
causes which may bo held to account for the variations
noted. Dr. Hall notes that the Jowlsh child as a rule Is
better developed than his Gentile neighbor of the same age,
while ho tells us the former shows better teeth than tho lat
ter. The test of bone development Is a fairly good one.
In a Jowlsh school In a good district Dr. Hall found only C
MAN WITH RARE COURAGE

II. N. AUeu.
Tho formost personality in Korea to
day Is the American minister, II. N.
Allen. Tho story of his entrance upon
tho stago ot, Ko
rean affairs and
his steady a d
vanccment In tho
favor of the peo
ple, ns well ns In
official position, Is
as romantic n s
nny of the better

Minister Allen wns born In Deln
wore, Ohio, in 1858, nnd when 23 was
graduated from Ohio Wcsleynn Unl
veslty. Two yenrs Inter, In 1883, ho
married a classmate, Just preparatory
to sotting out for China as a Presby
terian missionary. '
Tho young missionary doctor had not
been long In China before he made his
way down to Korea, on a tour of In
spection, at his own expense Evi
dently he sent back favorable reports
to bis superior officers In New York,
for In a short time he received a cable
gram containing tho single word,
"Korea." This he understood to mean
that he should undertake to find a
foothold In the capital of this ages
old nation, with Its avowed Intoler
ance of Cbrlatlnnlty. He wna thus
the first Protestant missionary to Ko
rea. The United States minister, Gen.
Foote, mado him physician to tho le
gation, thus giving him an excuse
for remaining in Seoul which no Ko
rean could gainsay.
Two months later the young Amer
ican's opportunity came. An Insur
rection broke out In Seoul, and six
Koreans were murdered at an official.
dinner party, ana a seventh, a rela
tive of the King and the most prom
inent of all, Prince Mln Yong Ik, who
had been Koreau minister to this coun
try, was badly wouuded. Panic at
once seized the city. Everybody began
to look out for himself. Even Gen.
Foote and all the Europeans fled to
Chemulpo, to be under the protection
of the gunboats all except the young
missionary doctor. Within half an
hour he was at the aid ot tbe wound

himself.
He found thirteen Korean doctor
gathered around about to pour black

len plucklly withstood them all while
he tried what western science could
do. While these looked on wondering
he tied up the arterle and sewed up
the wound, and continued hi treat

It was a heroic thing for Dr. and
Mrs. Allen to remain where building
were burning and bullet whining
through the streets, and treason and
fanaticism were oa every band.
Aa if to fix firmly the place ot this
skillful' Yankee missionary in the royal
favor, the Emperor himself fell sick,

THE DISCOVERY OF BIG. TREES.
Awaktaif Hunter Thonght Ue Wm la a
Load of Fairy Pfcenoiaeaa,
One upon a time It was In 1863,
to be exact a hunter In pursuit of a
wounded bear found himself at night
fall In a dark forest The air was dry
and warm, and being weary, he
stretch himself upon the pine needles
which covered tho ground, and went
to sleep. He awoke at daylight and
when he taw what kind ot a forest
he was in, he rubbed hi eyes and
pinched himself to make sure he was
not dreaming. On every aide were
monster trees, such a no man bad
ever een before. They reared their
head seemingly into the blue sky,
and their enormous trunk, bright cin
namon In color and ribbed and usam
row Uke mighty fluted tower. The
hunter felt like Gulliver did In Brob

that if the tallest church of kk native

per cent of rickets and 11 per cent of defective teeth. In.
the Gentile school of the same class 8 per cent of the chU
dren had rickets and 38 per cent defective teeth. The poor
district of Leeds was equally instructive as regards com
parison. Thero the native children showed 60 per cent
rickets and a percentage of 60 as regards bad teeth. The
poor Jewish school, as regards statistic based on the
same lines, gavo percentages of 7 por cent rickets and 25
per cent for defectlvo teeth.
For long ages the Jew has practiced a religion of health..
No one can read the code of hygiene comprised in the books
of the Old Testament without perceiving that a wise legis
lation was exercised by way of Insuring the health of the
Jewish race, and by way of preventing' disease. True.,
the code was extremely drastic In some of Its applications
witness the casting of the leper forth of the camp; bat
Its very rigidity served to Impress not only the Idea of
prevention of disease but of the practlco to which that
Idea gave origin. A nation which, in addition to super
vising its meats with the acumen of a modern sanitary
Inspector, and which knew that the essence of health wa
to be found In the maintenance of cleanliness, could not
fall to reap a rich physical reward In the development of a
sound constitution and In the possession of length of day
QUALIFICATIONS OF A PUBLIC SPEAKER.
' By Senator CMwtcer H. Depeir.
There la no talent more common,
than the ability to speak and none
more rare than the gift of speaking se
as to command the attention and sub
stantial assent of tho audience. The
ordinary talker In a deliberative body
kills time and murders patience, Irri
tates the Indifferent and tires his
friends. Real debating power Is a gift
as brilliant ns It Is useful. It does,
not consist In elaborate effort. In tbe
length of the speech, In superiority of logic, grace or die
tlon or rhetorical finish. Any or all of these may prove a
detriment, though with the master they ere toola to be
used or not, as the occasion may require. Many a massive
structure which the orator has spent hours in erecting has
been demolished and has burled Its author under its ruins
by tho dynamite of a ten minutes' speech. Legislatures,
fear bores and resent pedagogues. They love good fighter
and hard hitters. Like veteran troops, they do not want
to be Instructed, but to be led. They may sleep through a
ponderous oration of Charles Sumner and rise with delight
to greet an Incisive sarcasm of Thaddos Stevens. There
aro occasion when a labored effort is necessary to outline
or defend a policy or to appeal to the party or the country.
But In the exigencies of dally discussion It Is the crisp,
lucid and direct debater who carries or defeats measures
The skillful parliamentarian knows Instinctively tho tem
per of his audience. Ills greatest triumphs are In humoring
Its moods.
DIVORCE A NATIONAL EVIL.
Br Hor. C. tr. Tin iter ot Ttrro Haute.
A community without a home Is almost of
necessity a bad place. Tbe Immorality of lum
ber and mining camps Is easily explained. There
Is no real home life. It Is almost a sin against
society when a family takes to boarding, for It
makes one home less and destroys tbe unity.
Marriage Is not so much a matter of personal
convenience ns a social duty. Divorce Is a direct
thrust at the home and social unity. We make
much of tbe polygamy of Utah, but polygamy Is the1 very
whitest bird in tbe whole nest; and this polygamy of Utah
Is not so great as the evil of the progressive polygamy prac
ticed all over this universe by means of divorce.
