In view of which It Is not snfo to

It Is expected that tho domocratB
will mnko some Bains In tho Washing

Improbable thnt thoy will Bain enough
to hnvo n majority. If they should,
Turner would no doubt be sent to tho

hnvo a majority It will bo a hot fight
for tho Bcnatorshlp between Wilson,

WHAT VUUU HAS 1112?
What Is Detective Joo Imy'fl pull?
Is wlint n good many pcoplo of Port
land nro nskhiB. After his many mis
takes and failures, not to uso nny
BtroiiBor lanBiinBo, why Is ho retain
cd In his respoiiBlblo position? Two
or three weeks ago n citizen of the
Kant Sldo wns shot down and killed
In cold blood. Flvo ItnllniiH woro
present In tho murdered man's an
Icon when ho was killed, and when
tho oHlcers arrived there. Yet Day,
who had cliargo of tho case, did not
hold any of theso in on ns witnesses,
did not even nt thnt tltno discover
their nnmcB, did not prevent them
from hiding tho revolver thnt was
used, nor from arranging between
them to Btnnd by ono another In fact
did nothing thnt an olllcor In Hiich a
onso Hhould have done nt thnt time to
discover tho murderers, Tho conse
quence Ib that probably no ono enn
over bo convicted for almost as foul
nnd dnntnrdly n murder an wnu over
committed In thin city.
Perhaps oven this might bo over
looked If It had been Day's first bad
break but It Is not, by nny means.
Not long ago ho allowed n prisoner to
cscnpo from n train who wan only cap
tured nt connlderublo expanse, nnd
thoro nro plenty of people who look
upon those nnd other performances
or unu-pcrformnnccH of thlu detective
with Misplclon. Tho Hllverlleld fur
robbery was another cane In point,
and rumors of "Iking" casern In ways
not strictly In accordance with law
and Justice, to sny tho lenst, havo
been frequent, nnd pcrfllfltcnt. In
vlow of all theso facts might It not
bo woll for tho venerable mayor to
hint to tho moro or lens doughty Day
that Ills hoi'vIcoh could bu dispensed
with, bo that hoiuo more reliable and
UHpful man could bo employed? Such
an action would surely meet tho up
pi oval of a great many If not nearly
all of tho hiiBlnesH men of Portland
In doubt, thcro should bo no doubt of
tho re-election of Hon, Thomas W.
ulxon, of Missoula, who has bo ably
nnd faithfully represented thnt state
In tho last congress. Mr. Dixon Ib yet
a young man, and Is ono of tho most
popular and worthy of Montana's
prominent nnd rising lawyers and
public men. Ho Is in every respect n
man of high attainments and charac
ter. If re-elected, and kept In con
gross, ho will mako a mark, nnd a
national reputation there, and will bo
cnpablo of doing much good for Mon
tana far moro than n, democratic
minority member could do, even if ho
wcro Mr. Dixon's equal in point of
ability. Wo hope and expect to sec
Montana cast Its electoral voto for
Hoosovclt, who onco lived In thnt ter

re-elect Hon. ThomnB W. Dixon tc

conducted n clothing store, from

1,1 remembered kindly by many whom
ho has helped In ono way or another.
Ho rnlsod a largo family, nnd wiib al

ho loved his adopted country nnd

nnd intelligent citizen quietly but
well, Ho was nn old man, his wife

WASHINGTON POLITICS.
Tho campaign In tho Btnto of Wash
Ington Ih nlroady lively, and will In
crenso In ardor and Intensity until
election day. Not that thero Ih any
doubt about whero Washington will
Bland In tho presidential contest;
lloosovelt will carry tho Btato by a
very large majority; but tho result on
governor and memborH of tho lcglslu
turo Is not so certain. Thoro Is no
disguising tho facts that Tumor Is an
nblo and n strong mnn, nnd thnt there
Ii moro or less of a bolt among tho
republicans In his fnvor, How great
tho defection will turn out to bo no
ono can toll, nor can nny rollnblo In
formation bo obtained from tho pup
tlsan newspapers. Tho Seattle Post
Intelligencer, for example, pooh-poohs
tho reports of republican disaffection,
nnd predicts Mend's olcctlon by near
1 a normal majority. Tho Spokane
Spokesman-Review, on tho other
hand, a paper which is supporting
Roosovelt, believes, or protends to
bellovo, that enough republicans will
voto for Turner to olect him. Tho
truth probably lies Bomowhoro be
twoen theso vlows, And it Ih also to
bo remombercd that somo democrats
nro eoro at Turuer, on ono small
ground or another; ao ho will havo
to get more republican votes than it
pperi probable will turn up for him
Tho state of Georgia held an elec

formality of holding ono. It was onl
n formality, or rnthor It waB purely n
fni co. Only tho democratic ticket
waB In tho Hold, and if thero had been
nny other ticket it would hnvo beon
worth uoboby'B whllo to voto for It.
It may ho that In a full, fair, freo
election Georgia and tho other South
crn StntoH would go democratic, but
nobody knowH; thoro Ih no contest
thoro; tho only object In maintaining
a republican organization nt nil Is to

HUMOR IN TEXT OF CLERGY.
Amusing Remarks 'Which Were Moat
Seriously Intended.
Part of the humor which ono occa
sionally meets with, even In the sednU
Inclosure of the pulpit, Is duo to tin
queer texts which nro sometimes of
ten unconsciously chosen by preach
ers. No doubt there are many slorlci
told under this head which owo theli
origin not to actual fact so much at
to tho invention of the wng. For ex
ample, a minister on tho Sunday be
fore bis marriage Is said to havo chos
on ns his text, "And ho went on his
way rejoicing," and ou tho Sunday
after his honeymoon to havo eloquent
ly discoursed on the words, "Remember
my bonds."
These Instances nro, probably, apoc
ryphal, but Uio following are truo and
hnvo all como within tho experience of
tho writer. It was In the north of En
gland that the first Incident happened.
It wns a country church where oil
lamps were used Instead of gas. Ono
night lit tho late summer when tho
lamps had not yet been resumed after
the long days It got suddenly overcast
and before tho sermon It wns deemed
necessary to light thu pulpit lamp.
During the hymn, tho old sexton re
paired to the pulpit, nnd, having cleaned
tho glass chimney with a duster, lit It
up, but only a feeble light struggled
through. And then the clergymnn took
his text, which was this: "And now
wo seo through n glass darkly."
A few years ago a well-known bishop
married his second wife, and, return
ing homo nfter his honeymoon, an
nounced n series of sermons, tho title
of tho series being "'JUie Penitent's Re
turn.' ThUt was obviously uninten
tional.
Thero Is a church In one of our large
cities which boasts of n very high pul
pit A short tlmo ago a strange preach
er who wns of a nervous tempernment
"occupied" this pulpit, but, as the se
quel will show, only for a very short
time, for, having taken his text and
said nlKHit n dozen words, ho startled
tho congregation by Baying: "Am I am
not used to pulpits ns high ns this you
will pardon me, I know, If I come
down and preach my sermon from tho
lectern." Ho suited his action to the
words nnd preached n very good ser
mon from tlu modest lectern. And
this was his strangely npproprlate text:
"He that exaltcth himself shall bo
abused, nnd he that humblcth himself
shall bo exalted."
Ono more lustnnco: Not many
mouths ago a clergyman preached one
Sunday evening from tho text, "My
words shall not paw away." Exactly
a fortnight later tho same clergyman
preached tho same sermon from the
snmo text In the snmo church, to the
wonderment of practically the satno
congregation. Evidently It was hli
determination that nt any rato Ills
words should not pass away from tho
memory of Ills hearers.

In Great Britain nn Invention which,
it Is claimed, gives absolute safety to
oil lamps, Is bolriR npplled to practical
uses. Tho device consists of a cir
cular tuotnl box, tho slzo mrylng ac
cording to tho candlo power required.
In tho box Is a deposit of salt, over
which Is a layer of cotton waste spe
cially prepared.
Running through tho cotton packing
Is an asbestos wick, woven by hand,
aud which is practically Indestructi
ble, and requires only occasional at
tention. Tly Immersing tho box In
petroleum or para til n tho cotton waste
absorbs tho requisite quantity of oil
in a few minutes through small lateral
interstices. That accomplished nnd
tho metal being dried externally, tho
application of a light to tho asbestos
wick produces it bright, steady whlto
light, the candlo power being In pro
portion to tho slzo of tho box, tho
consumption of oil being less, nnd, ac
cordingly, tho cost being correspond
ingly cheaper thnn If tho light were
obtained from on ordlnnry lamp.
Moreover, it Is claimed absoluto
safety Is assured. The nsbostluo lamp
may be Inverted, may exhaust Itself,
may bo thrown down or whirled, about,
but thero Is no danger, it la averred,
ns thero Is uo free oil or gna that can
be Ignited, and consequently there can
be no fire or explosion. The patent
U aald to be applicable to every spe
cies of lamp, from the modest night
light necessary in tho nursery, through
the entire gamut of domestic Illumina
tion, to the drawing-room lamp. In
the industrial world It can be utilised
lu every direction, especially where a
bright, steady light is essential, such
ns engine headlights and lights ou
hips.
The Great Northern and several
Scottish and IrUh railways are eu
gaged in testing tho capabilities of the
new process, with a view to its adop
tion in railway work. Every descrip
tion of lamp the bicyclo lamp, tho
motor lamp, tho carriage lamp, lamps
for domestic purposes, lamps In mines
can. it is declared, be fitted with the
asbestlno patent, and oil of any flash
point can be used with perfect safety
aud with the additional advantage of
considerable economy. The problem
of the safety ltmp would appeax to
