10 TITR MOHNLNG OltEGOXIAN, TUESDAY, JTJE 12, 1900. TWENTY LESSONS IN FRENCH CONVERSATION (Copyright. 1000, by Seymour Eaton ) THE OREGONIAN'S HOME STUDY CIRCLE: 4D1RECTED BY PROF. SEYMOUR EATON Note. The remaining five lessons consist of a. "talk" between a visitor and a guide. The conversation sires an outline of "sightseeing" in Paris. The student should carefully mark each phrase, its idiomatic construction, and he should then compare it with the English. He will find it an interesting study to compare the construction of the two languages. The pronunciation is purposely omitted. Students are expected to make use of the pronunciation rules learned in former lessons. LESSON RO. 1C. SEIZXMK liECOrr. SEE-ZEHJ-EM LES-SONG. tallc Between a Visiter aad m. Gle.

Message ef Thla State te the "WTerl -at Large la Clearly Read Victory for EipaBiIea. All the papers find the result.of the Ore gon election a fruitful topic, and they dia cuss the matter to a considerable extent. They read it as clearly a victory for Na tional expansion and distinct discourage, ment for Bryanlsm. Following are & number that have Just come to hand: The Oregon Election. Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser. The election In Oregon last Monday ought to convince those who are relying upon a fusion of all anti-Republicans to -win the Presidential election In November of the baseless foundation on which they are building; Oregq,n has been a close state tor years. As far back as 1K76 one of Its electoral votes was In dispute, and if the Democrats had secured It Mr. Tll den would have been President. Some years ago when the silver issuo was at high tide all parties in Oregon bowed to the seeming popular demand, but the Republicans In 1SS3 planted themselves fairly and squarely on a straight single gold-standard platform. In 1SS5 McKir.ley carried the state by 2117 votes. There was then, as in this contest, a fusion of Dem ocrats, Populists and Free-Silver Repub licans. In 1S9S the fusion was not so complete, but the fusion candidate for Governor received 10,551 vtes less than were cast for the straight gold-standard Republican. An Independent Populist ticket received 2S78 votes, giving a- clear Republican majority of 7G73 votes. This was after one of the hottest and most In teresting contest ever cpnducted In the U-rilted States. There wan no dodging on either side. The election laift Monday was for some state officers, members of the Legisla ture and two Congressmen. The Repub licans, on tho ove of both National Con ventions, and on a platform Identical In sentiment with that of 189S, have won a( sweeping victory. ine wora urawcr." was long ago obliterated in Oregon, Xe braska, Kansas and other states where fua"on prevails, lmt that tho combination will secure a few more members In the new Legislature than It possessed In the last Is more than probable. AH that the combined opposition to the Republicans could muster two years ago was 23 out of a total of CS. This Is the condition to which Demcracy has been reduced In a Ftate which not many years ago had a Democratic state government and Legis lature and two Democrats in the United States Senate. "Wherever the blighting hand of fuslonlsm has been placed. Dem ocracy has disappeared, end even Its name wined off the official ballots. There are other states on which the free s'lver. Chlrasro platform extremists are relying, which will prove to them Just as great d'rappolntments as the one they have Just rece'ved In Oregon. "When the party gets bick to Its old principles and proudly stands on Its own name. Instead of belwr hid out undr the false colors of Populism and Fr-S!lver Republicanism. It will deserve, if it does not win, euc "cess. Oregon Relinked Bryanlam. Detroit Journal. Oregon sounds the key-note for Repub lican victory again this year. AH the is sues that will te in the forthcoming cam paign were In the campaign that preceded yesterday's election In Oregon. The Re publicans electud all their candidates for state offices by pluralities exceeding the pluralities of 1S96, secured control of the Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator to succeed Senator Mc Brlde. and re-e.ected two Republican Con gressmen by increased pluralities. The omocrats madf a little showing in Mult nomah County, where the metropolis of the state Is, the Repubtcans being divided, there. McKInley carried Oregon in 1S9S by a plurality of 2117 over Bryan, who was supported by the allied Democrats, Silver Republicans and Populists, and Palmer, who received the support of the Gold Democrats. The Republican candidate for Justice of the Supreme Court this year carries the state against the fusion can didate by 10.CC0 plurality, showing a gain over the 1896 vote of more than four to one. In 1S0S Geer, Republican, was elected Governor by a plurality of 10,551, which Is only two-thirds of the plurality of the Republican candidate in ISM, the first pre. ceding off-year. The plurality of 189S was secured In a Jug-handled contest, the fu slonlsts quarreling among themselves. The vote on Congressmen is more Im pressive. In 1S9S Thomas H. Tongue was elected In the First District by a plurality of 2037. This year, in a stubborn and hotly contested fight, he wins by a plu rality of about 3000, w"h!cn is, in fact, a majority, since he was opposed by only one rival. In the Second District M. A. Moody Is Te-elected by 6000 or more plu rality. The returns from this district are estimated. It is a large district, and from many counties the returns will not be filed for several days yet. In 1S9S he had a plurality of CC57, and It is probable that his total this year will he Increased by the official returns. The lersln of the Oregon election is im portant. It teaches that Bryanlsm has enjoyed no recrudescence in the West. The new Issue of antl-lmpcriallsm hasn't com mended itself to tho sturdy patriots of Oregon. Opposition to the Government in time of war has not found favor with the loyal defendants of the hardy pioneers who built their homes in the damp wilder ness, "where rolls the Oregon." The much-vaunted popularity of Bryan Is not sustained by the votes of the people of the first state to register its feeling toward him. Oregon stands stronger for sound money, for patriotic government and Jus tice than Oregon stood four years ago. But the lesson will not be heeded. The incidental squabble at Portland, where the Republicans quarreled over municipal matters, and had two tickets, will look bigger than a mountain and overshadow the election of Hepubllcan state officers. Legislature and Congressmen to give cheer to the blind arid unreasoning worshipers of Bryan. They will rally around him with greater enthusiasm, and In the mad ness of their worship of the man who personifies their one Idea will proceed to nominate him for the. Presidency. The fatuity of renominating Bryan Is so palp able It is pitiful. The Democrats and their allies have resoH'ed to rush through "a slaughter-house Into an open grave." Better Than Hnd Been Expected. Los Angeles Times. Now that the returns from the Oregon election are practically complete, the magnitude of the Republican victory be comes more apparent. The results of the election are even better than Republi cans had expected, and serve, in some slight degree, to Indicate the direction in which the tide of popular sentiment Is set ting. To summarize the result, as Senator Carter stated the case in the Senate on Wednesday, Oregon has given a Republi can majority of about 10.000. McKlnley'fl majority in Oregon in 1S9S was 412 votes. The Republican majority on Governor In 1S5S was 5455. Representative Tongue, who has consistently supported the Adminis tration, Porto RIcan tariff and all, has a known majority of more than 3000, and the back counties are yet to be heard from. Four years ago Mr. Tongue was elected by a majority of only 65 votes. The Increased Republican majority in Oregon Is- a moat favorable augury, and Republicans throughout the country are fully Justified in feeling Tenewed confidence In "view of It. The campaign In Oregon was fought out on National irwtes, very largely. The op position to the Republican candidates was based prindpally upon th course which has been pursued by the National Admin istration In the Philippines, in Porto Rico, and on other qurrtions of National, con cern. Anti-expansion or. as our oppo nents prefer to express It. "antl-imperlal-lsm" was the prindpal Democratic war cry in Oregon, while the Republicans, In their co?kf entions and platforms and cam paign worft. generally, stood up resolutely and consistently In defense of the Admin istration, its methods, Its polldes and Its principles. It was a good, square fight all along the line of battle. The result is a complete rout of thrlr opponents by the Republicans, with increased majorities on nearly all candidates and In nearly all counties of the state. It is not too optimistic to predict that the result of the Oregon election la but a foreshadowing of the general election to be held In November. "We believe that the President will be elected his own succes sor by & largely Increased majority of the popular vote. If not of the electoral vote. His administration has been strong and honest, and masterful and resourceful. It deserves the splendid Indorsement which an increased popular vote would give It; and not only this, but it would be a hazardous experiment for the American people to change administrations at the present critical stage of public affairs. Espedally would it be hazardous for the people to put In the Executive chair an untried man holding such extreme and reactionary views as are held by W. J. Bryan. The American people will not be guilty of a piece of folly so monumental. But the idea should not be entertained by Republicans that victory is to be won in the coming election without an effort on their- part. On the contrary, they rhould go into the campaign prepared to work even harder for victory than ever before. They should not only be deter mined to win a victory, but to pass all previous records In the magnitude of their victory. Let the lines close up. and let the advance on the enemy's works begin. Fought on National lasses. Troy (N. Y.) Times. Oregon has fired the first gun of tho campaign of 1900. It Is a Republican gun. The state yesterday went Republi can by a big majority, electing the Repub lican candidates for state offices and the two nominees of that party for members of Congress. The Legislature, which will elect a United States Senator, was car ried by the Republicans. Thla was in a state which gave McKInley only 2000 majority In 1S&6. This result Is the more gratifying be cause there was a union of all the other political parties, except the Prohibition ist, against the Republicans. The Dem ocrats, Populists and Sliver Republicans fut;ed In a desperate but unsuccessful effort to defeat the Republican candi dates. The victory is pleasing, too, because the contest was fought squarely on the lines of National Issues. The battle was distinctly stated and understood to be of the gold standard against 16 to 1, of expansion of territory and Influence against paralysis, of President McKIn ley against the Nebraska talker, of Na tion against stagnation. It was the first skirmish of armies whose banners are In -hand, and whose uniforms are unmis takable. Why should not Oregon stand by the Republican party? The ppllcy of that party and of the National Administration which the party established has opened a new world of commerce to the Pa'clfic Coast, and will make the Occident rich with the trade of the Orient. That policy has given the Golden Gate of San Fran cisco, and of Portland and of Puget Sound, a new meaning. The Pacific States do siot wish to be walled In from their oceanic birthright by the blockade of a narrow policy. Oregon's voice will be echoed by the other states. Every state on either sea board wishes commerce for Its ports. The agricultural states find In National prosperity a market for their products at rewarding prices. The manufacturing states are growing richer from the "un precedented export trade. Labor Is em ployed, and the average of individual com fort was never before so high. If it Is good to let well enough alone, It Is better to continue what was never before so well. That is Oregon's logic, and the other states will reason the same way. Points to November. Philadelphia Inquirer. Oregon is the only state to hold an elec tion which will point the way to the re sult in November. Elections will be held In -Maine and Vermont and one or two other states before the Presidential con test, but they are all states of fixed po litical principles, and cannot be changed. They are not sign posts In the way. With Oregon it Is different, but she Is debatable no longer. She will cast her vote for William McKInley. Oregon has had her ups and downs, and she has been rent from border to border with Democratic and PopuIIstlc theories. She has had fusion, and in 1892 gave a small fusion plurality. In 1894 sue gave a Republican plurality, and In 1S96 McKIn ley carried the state by the narrow mar gin of 2100. There has been fusion this year, and all of the issues raised by Mr. Bryan have ben pushed forward as cam paign material. There are two Congres sional districts in Oregon, and these dis tricts were fought for In the battle of ifonaay. Therefore, the contest became of National importance. The Fusion platform declared outright for free silver and for the independence of the Philippines. On the other hand, the Republican platform planted Itself squarely upon the gold standard, and on the so-called imperialistic Issue It took the following ground: "We heartily indorse the policy of the Administration, and particularly In secur ing the Philippine Islands, and demand that they shall be retained as American territory. We have confidence that the American people, without departing fronv tneir traauion. wm give security to per sonal and property rights. Justice, liberty and equality before the law to all who live beneath Its flag. We Indorse the policy of the Administration In suppressing the Insurrection in the Philippines, headed by Agutnaldo." It has been a hot campaign, and the Ad ministration has been supported on the one eide and assailed on the other. The people ave decided, and they gave a magnificent majority to the Administra tion. Oregon has pronounced for the gold standard and for the retention of the Philippines, and has repudiated every prin ciple for which Mr. Bryan stands, it is a great victory and a splendid one. and It will give cournge to the National Republi can Convention to stand by Its guns In every particular. Oregon Indorses Expansion. Springfield (111.) Journal. Every possible combination was made to defeat tho Republicans in the Oregon elec tion. Democrats, Populists, Silver-Republicans and what not pooled Issues and united their vote, but Oregon went Re publican by 10,000 plurality, whereas In 1S96 McKInley carried that state over Bryan by a plurality of but 2010 votes. This year the Republicans elect their state ticket and both Congressmen, and secure a majority of 22 In the Legisla ture, which will send a loyal Republican to the United States Serrate. In the campaign party lines were sharp ly drawn and the Issues discussed were entirely National, expansion was tho principal issue, the Republicans contend ing for the retention of the Philippines and all other fruits of the Spanish War, and the Democrats making "antl-Imperlal-Ssm" their war cry. As the result shows, Bryan's new Issue of "imperialism" re ceived a body blow at the hands of the voters of Oregon which foreshadows the treatment It wril receive throughout the nation next Fall. A. party that opposes the Government In Uh periods of peril will find no favor with the patriotic people of the nation. It may rally to Its support traitors, anar chists and the like, but It will get no further. Oregon was the first state to speak thin year, and Its verdict shows that the defeat of WlHam J. Bryan is foreordained. Won oa Expansion. Boston Transcript. The returns of the Oregon election are not all In yet, but those at hand are pretty safa Indications of a Republican victory equal to that achieved In 1S88. when Governor Geer had 10,531 plurality. Should the Republican plurality m the flnoj count faU short of that of two years ago and stop at 10,000, it will have been exceeded but twice in the history of the state In 1KH and 1SS8. The Republican Congressional candidates have been chosen by pluralities that certainly equal and may exceed those they received :n 1S33. The victory thisVear Is even more emphatic that that of two years ago, for then the Fusionlsts wera divided. Last Winter Mr. Bryan put In consider able time and talk in bringing the wings of the FusronisJs together, and they wont to the potts Monday solid In their oppo sition to the gold standard and what they call "Imperialism." Two years ago the Oregon Republicans fought out the campaign on the gold standard Issue and won. This year they accepted the challenge of the Bryanltes to fight the battle on the "expansIon, Issue, and won again. The Springfield Republican reads the lesson of tho Ore gon election right as far as It permits itself to read it when it says it has demonstrated 'that the Administration policy is strong with the people in that part of the country. The Republican may yet see other "parts" of tho country supporting the Administration so em phatically as to give It a National In dorsement. The Republicans continue In control of the Oregon Legislature, thus assuring the Senatorial delegation from that state to the supporters of the Ad ministration, Taken altogether, Monday in Oregon was a great day for the Great er America. Waa the First Test. Pittsburg Chronicle. Tho election In Oregon was tho first test of the expansion sentiment of the country by the choice of members of the House of Representatives, and the In formation at hand is that the two Repub lican Congressmen were re-elected by In creased majorities. The opposition set up fusion candidates. In the first district the man placed in nomination by the fusion lsts in opposition to Mr. Tongue was Dr. Bernard Daly, a Democrat, who is not a believer in the free-silver policy, but who did not break with his party in 1SS6. The opponent of Mr. Moody was William C. Smith, who Is a radical free-coinage ad vocate, as well as an antl-expanslonlst. The Chicago Record, independent, dis cussing the prospects in Oregon before the election, said: "Oregon is nominally a Republican 6tate. There was fear that Bryan would carry It in 1896. but McKIn ley secured 2117 plurality. At the suc ceeding election tie Republicans showed considerable gains. If the Republicans should lose they would, indeed, have cause to be apprehensive. If they win by substantial pluralities the Democrats will be forced to conclude that the far Western states are not favorable ground for them and that their hope of success In November must He In cultivating the favor of states to the East." The Republican plurality at Monday's election Is placed at from 5000 to S000. This Increase over the Republican strength of four years ago Is distinctly encouraging to the party of progress and sound money. First Gnn for Expansion. Memphis Scimitar. The first 2ght on expansion has been fought, and the "aunties" have lost. It was admitted hv nil frtnrwnort fhn the contest in Oregon, which closed with the election last Monday, would turn on the expapslon question.

Hnd tho M:ddle-pf-the-Roaders entered Intd the fusion arrangement then as tney cia this year, the Republican ma lorltV would havA hi rIiiMl to 7R75 So that the reduction expected by the Democrats thin vear. n the !.- their would accomplish, would have cut the KepuDiican majority down to less than 4000. The latest returns of Monday's election Indicate that the Republicans hava made a clean sweep on Congress men and state ticket, and have fully held their own as to county and municipal offices. Tho Oregon contest has been looked forward to as a test of public sentiment on the Pacific Coast on the Issue of ex pansion or "Imperialism," as the aunty phrasemakers put it. The returns are not calculated to make the opposition wildly hilarious. A Ilepubllcnn Trlnmph. Boise Statesman. The Oregon election proves to have been far more of a Republican triumph than at first supposed. The majorities are larger than In 1S9S. Two years ago there was a straight Populist ticket in the field that polled many votes. This year there was a complete fusion against the Repub licans, but the lead of the Republican candidates over the united opposition Is greater than It was in 1S93 over the par tial fusion. The gain on the state ticket Is something over 3000. On Congressmen the gain in the first district Is about 30CO. and In the second some 4200. The condi tions locally were such that the Repub licans did not expect a great victory, but the results show they did not fully un derstand the extent to which the people are aroused over all the objectionable tactics of the opposition in National af fairs. It was the quiet vote that accom plished the results, and that is what is going to overwhelm the Democrats in November. The Voice From the Pacific Coast. Philadelphia Bulletin. The election In Oregon on Monday Is the only important or significant one In deter mining the popular drift In the Presiden tial campaign until Maine and Vermont vote in September next. Oregon voted for McKInley by 2117 ma jority over a Bryan Demo-Populist fusion in 1S96; It gave 6000 majority over the Denr ocrats and minor parties in 1S9S, and the returns indicate that on Monday It gave 7000 to 8000 majority over another Bryan- Democratic fusion and elected a Repub lican Legislature, which will choose a United States Senator. There Is not a single feature of the re turns In which William J. Bryan can find a grain of comfort, or which shows that the Republican drift In 1S00 on the Pacific Coast Is not stronger than it Was in 1896. The Oregon Election. Boston Herald. There appears to be no doubt that the Republicans have carried the State of Ore gon by handsome majorities, alike on their state, Congreslonal and Legislative tick ets. There was not much reason to doubt that they would do so. though the Demo crats had made some claims of the state In advance of the election. Oregon has been pretty safely Republican for many years, and it has succeeded In resisting Democratic tides In previous Presidential elections, when the political current far ther east was setting in that direction. Rnns Into FIgnrea. Lincoln Journal. McKInley beat Bryan Jn Oregon in 1596 by a majority of 2117. The Republicans on Monday last carried the state by over 8000 majority. The same ratio of Increase will but the Journal forbears. Statistics and mathematics are dry subjects for hot weather discussion. Besides, a -popular majority of 2.400.000 for McKInley next No vember would bo too brutal for anything. No Encouragement for Bryan. El Paso (Tex.) Herald. Oregon did not falter, but rolled up her splendid Republican majority as if she liked the flavor of the last one. Bryan gets little encouragement from this lusty child of expansion.

Note and Queries. Halllwell notes this word as existing In "various dialects" with the meaning "sly, cunning, crafty"; but It belongs also to the language of the Boers, from whom the Natal English seem to have directly adopted It. The Dutch slim is defined aa "Kllianus Auctus" (1642), "perversus, do losus, fraudulentus, vafer, astutus; per vers, ruse, madre. cautelus": in Hex ham's "Netherduch and English Dlction alre" (165S) "craftle, een slim boeve, ofte slim gast, a Subtlll. a Craftle, or a Caule lous Knave or Fellowe," and similarly In modern dictionaries. This word is in common use in the sense of crafty in several of our English dialects, and is duly noted in dictionaries and glossaries. Thus Bailey has: "Slim Naughty, crafty, Lincolnsh"; HalHweU, "Sly, cunning, crafty, var, dial"; Skeat, "Original sense 'sloping"; thence weak, poor, thin, bad, slight; prov. E., ellm, crafty."
