It Ih nhaurd to contend that Into jiermlt, granted 38 yearn ago, when 3ortland wnH a hacluvoodB village, 1b liludlng upon the present city of 1G0. '000, nml tho futuro city of hnlf a mil lion or moro people. The rail road peoplo liuvo enjoyed ttilu prlvllcgo freely now for 38 years, paying noth ing therefor to tho city, and It kIioiiIiI not complain If now tho peoplo require It to get off that thoroiiglifuro, or at least pay a good round liberal frau cIiIho to tho city for tho privilege. Any other decision by tho courts would not only ho manifestly liiuqul tahle, hut would ho n travesty of tlio loiumoiiest principles of Justlco, Surely tho peoplo of Portland nnd of Oregon are not so beholden to Mr. Ilurrltiiiiti that they should feel In u humor to hestow valuable glftn upon him. What has ho over done for this city or stato that ho was not com pelled to do In his own Interest? For iniiuy years ho played tho dog-lu-thc-manger act, and would neither do anything to develop tho ImineiiHo In terior rosourcoB of Oregon nor per mit any ouo utoo to do so. Ho only he ciunu native In this direction after Mr. Hill had dually decided on his North llaulc road to Portland, and this Harrlmnn has tried In every pos- nlblo way to retard, haniBS and if pon Hlblu stop. For years thoro has heen a shortago if freight curs to carry nwny our linn lier and other products. Mills aro utopped for wooUb, thoiiBnnds of men uru thrown out of employment, grain cannot ho sent to market when tho farmers wish, only when the railroad gets ready, and thero hns not heen for many months moro than one third tho desired transportation fa cilities between this city mid Sail Francisco; hut Mr. Harrlmaii caies nothing about all this, and docs noth ing to relieve or Improve tho situation. Ho can spend tens of millions In buy ing other railroads and bucking Mr. Hill, hut nothing for tho benefit of Portland or of Oregon, except sending out some pamphlets occasionally. Wo hopo Mr. Hill will extend his road southward from Portland nml that (lottlil will build northward along tho coast ami that Hammond will build aeross Oregon to Ontario, and that thus, through tho energetic and publle-uplrited action of his rivals, Oregon will ho developed and Its products and population will greatly Increase, la spite of Mr, Hnrrlinaii nnd his railroads, which ho has used bo long to "milk" Oregon, b'ut nover to develop It mid help mako It the great stato that It ought to be, , IlltYAN 1FAS NO CHANCES. No doubt Mr. llrynn will bo tho next Democratic eandldato for Presi dent, ami a groat many peoplo aro counting confidently on his election, whllo h far larger number think he lias ijulto a good chanco to win. Wo admit that Mr, llrynn Is an abler, moro ilpened, wiser nnd safer ninn than ho was In 189C or 1900. It would bo strango If ho wore not. Wo presunio that ho will bo supported moro gen erally, unitedly, by tho Democrats of tho country than ho was In those years, but this will not elect him, for this Is u Republican country by u troiuondous majority, and whllo Mr. llrynn will run better 4n 190S than ho illd lu 1S9G or 1900, tho Republicans 'will win. Bryan may very likely win i back Missouri, and so mako tho South solid again, but what Northern fltatc can ho carry? Possibly Colorado and Montana, though this Is not likely, but wo cannot think of nnothcr North ern state that ho will liavo a "ghost of a chanco" to carry, no matter whom tho Republicans nominate. Roosevelt 1b .out of It, and wo must tako him at his word, nnd the candi date mny ho cither Tnft, Root, Fair banks, Cannon or Dolllver probably ono of these five and whllo some of them would recclvo more votes than others Dollver, for Instance, than Fairbanks, nnd Taft than Root any ono of them, or any other Republican candidate, would carry almost every Northern stato and ho elected. Tho Republican party has been making an exceptionally good record lately, and tho peoplo know It. It has some disreputable old barnacles In congress, llko Plntt and Depew, but they do llttlo harm. Tho tariff ought to bo revised some what, hut as long nB tho peoplo aro prospcroiiB they do not enro much about thnt, nnd It would not ho wIbo to turn tariff revlBlon over to tho Dem ocrats, who could never agree on any thing good. Tho country will go Republican In 1008, iib It did In 1890, 1900 nnd 1901, and whllo llrynn will run somcwhnt better than ho did before, thero Is no reasonable ground for hope or fear of IiIh election two years hence. Ho will havo to wait six years hence, nnd probably a good deal longer. HEAT SHRIVELS THE GRAIN. Reports of Dnmngo to Crops In tho Central Wost. Bloux City, Iotvn, Aug. 21. Hot winds tho past two days, following a week of uuusanl torpidity, tho maxi mum temperature being daily from 00 to 100, has created fear among grain men that widespread dnmrtgo to tho lato grain and corn has been dono. Today hna been a scorcher, although thoro aro indications tonight of a let-up. From Westorn South Dakota, Wost orn Nebraska and tho northern continl part of South Dakota and Southern Minnesota reports today nro that Into grains had been ripened so rapidly that tho berries uru badly shriveled. Tho greatest harm is expected in cornfields, which have not in ton years, according to reports a week ago, promised such abundant yields. Corn is in tender tassel, with kernel in the most sensi tive stage of its life. Whore moisture has boon sufllclont the ilumago will bo light, but lu tho vast territory west and northwest from hero it has been dry for two or three weeks and when the hot winds came tho vegetation has been largely robbed of its power o( resist ance. Good authority places the de preciation In tho corn crop as tho result of tho last week ol tierce heat at from o to 10 per cent on tho average, with much greater loss over various exten sive regions. PROPERTY LOSS IN MILLIONS. Death Roll at Valparaiso May Roach Two Thousand. Valparaiso, Chile, Aug. 21 At 7:62 o'clock last Thursday oveuing Valpa raiso experienced an earthquake ol great severity, and during that night 82 shocks wero felt. Most o( the buildings of the city are either burned or damag ed. Tho loss will be enormous, prob ably reaching $250,000,000. Two thousand poisons killed is considered to be a fair estimate of the casualties, Vena del Mar, three miles from Val paraiso and having a population of over 10,000, Qulrlhu, 225 miles to the southward, with a population of 25, 000; Santa I.imaehe, 15 miles to the northwest, with a population of 0,500; Quillota, 26 miles to the northwest, with a population of 10,000, and vil lages all around were destroyed, Most of the damage was due to fire, which started immediately alter the first shock, The whole population Is sleeping in the hills, the parka or the streets. Food is very scarce. Milk costs two Chilean dollars, and it is almost impossible to obtain meat, even at high prices. The railways are all destroyed, Rain, which began to fall immediate ly after the first shook, stopped an hour afterward. The nights are very eold and windy; tho people sleeping in the open are suffering greatly. The captain of a steamship which arrived from Sail Franolrco says the sit uation here 1b worse than that follow ing tho disaster at San Francisco. Storms In Pennsylvania. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 21. Reports received here from points in Allegheny and neighboring counties indicate that great damage has been done by a storm that passed over Western Pennsylvania lite this afternoon and tonight. Tele graph and telephone communication was interrupted at many points, and it has been impossible to obtain full ac counts. Railroads Buffered from wash outs and many delays resulted. Pait ol Sutervillo is said to be under water, which at some places is 15 feet deep, No Uvea are reported to have been lost, THE LATE LADY CURZON. American Girl Who Wiu the First I.adr of Iiulln. The death recently nt her beautiful homo In England of Lady Curzon, of Kedleston, brought grief to three na tions. England, whero she had en deared herself by her charming simplic ity and womanly sweetness, and India, where for so many years she reigned as tho wlfo of tho viceroy, unite with tho United States In mourning tho domino of an American girl whose elevation to British aristocratic and olllclal circles had not caused her to forget the repub lic In which sho was born and for which sho retained tho deepest affec tion. Lady Curzon's health failed while In Indln, but It was supposed that her re turn to England would stwedlly restore her strength and activity. Tho ex tronio heat, however, Increnoed the gen eral debility from which she suffered mid death resulted from heart fail ure. Mary Victoria Loiter was born In Chicago, daughter of Levi 7.. Loiter, n mllllonnlro business man. Some years ago tho family moved to Washington lAUr CU117.0.V. and resided In a magnificent home, en tertaining largely nnd with a lavish ness such as only great wealth per mits. Whllo on a visit to Knglnnd Miss Loiter met Lord Georgo Nathaniel Cur 7.on, slnco mado Huron ICedloston, nnd his lordship followed her to Washing ton. Tho wedding took plnco lu April, 180."5, ono of tho guests being Mrs.Clovo Innd, of whom tho brldo was n close personal friend. Tho beautiful American girl was wel comed to tho most exclusive Inner cir cles of English society and at once ret herself tho task of mastering British politics lu order to bo nil aid to her able and ambitious husband. In 1808 Lord Curzon was made viceroy of In dia, retaining tho ottlco until August 10 of Inst year. Ills micccss nnd popu larity as viceroy was largely attributed to tho good Judgment, grnclousness nnd womanly worth of his American wlfo. Her court at Bombny, Calcutta, nnd Hlmln was among tho most magnificent In tho world and tho Indian potentates accepted hor social sway as they would that of tho Empress of the empire. It li no exaggeration to say that no En glish-speaking womnn ever equaled her In tho Influence sho wielded lu India or In tho affection which tho millions of that continental peninsula showered upon her. At ono time there was talk that Lord Curzon would bo inndo governor gen eral of Canada, In which case an Amor lean girl would havo been the lady of Rtdenu Hall. Lady Curzon wns loft $3,000,000 In her own right on tho death ot her fath er. An equally liberal provision wns made for her sister, tho Countess of Suffolk and Berkshire. She lenvos threo children, tho youngest hut a few months old. llovr Mny hul Ion I'rlt. MIm Mny Sutton, tho tenuis chain plon, wns talking ono day In Boston about nn enrly defeat. "I had heen so suro of winning," sho said, "and that mado my disap pointment all tho greater when I failed." "I wns as disappointed," she said, "as n huckster who lined to live lu Los Angeles. 'This huckster, coming out of a patron's house one day, saw a llttlo boy feeding apples to his horse. Pleased to see tho animal getting an excellent meal at no cost to himself, the man patted tho hoy on tho head and said: "That's right; always he good to animals. And whero did you buy those pretty apples?" "'I didn't buy them,' the boy an swered. 'I took them out of your wag on.' " Philadelphia Bulletin. Dajuaifca Sufficient. An old colored womnn was seriously Injured In n railway accident. Ono and nil her friends urged the necessity of suing tho wealthy railroad corixmitlou for damages.
