"WTilff Mistakes.
At the close of the -war "with Mexico
the Whig party was In a favorable po
sition for a series of national triumphs.
Democratic leaders had Inaugurated a
war which violated the better conscience
of the Nation for the purpose of secur
ing an Increased area for slavery. They
had Indeed secured Texas as a slave
state, but along -with Texas a vast terri
tory had been acquired from which slav
ery was legally excluded, and Into which
it seemed Impossible that It should be
Introduced. From nearly all other terri
tory slavery had been excluded by the
Missouri compromise. If In 1S50 the "Whig
party had been faithful to the leader
ship of the Whig President, and had
refused to enter into any compromise
which was fitted to help the Democrats
out of their political dilemma, it would
naturally have drawn to itself the anti
slavery sentiment of the North and the
"Union sentiment of the South. It would
have continued to be a great National
party with enduring and triumphant Is
sues. But in an evil hour certain Whig
leaders, notably Henry Clay and Daniel
Webster, threw themselves In opposition
to the Whig administration and brought
forward a series of compromises which
were fitted to remove from pro-slavery
Democrats the odium which they had
brought upon themselves. In the face
of Whig opposition the Democrats had
carried the country Into a war, with the
intention, as was believed, of acquiring
more slave territory. Along with the add
ed slave territory they had gained free
MUlard Fillmore.
territory. Had the Whigs been wise they
would not have raised the question of
extending slavery into the free territory.
The Whig compromise act legalized slav
ery In the acquired territory in case the
people should desire it when they ap
plied for admission as states. The Whig
compromise also provided for a fugitive
slave law, 'which was so" drawn as to be
an offense to the great body of the North
ern people.
By the compromise measure the Whigs
lost the support of Northern anti-slavery
citizens, while they gained no support
from the South. Everywhere the people
asked what the Whig party meant.
Webster and the promoters of the com
promise answered this question by say
ing that the party stood for the Union
apd the compromises. But the Demo
crats could say with even greater fer
vor that they also fitood for the Union
and the compromises. The compromises
served to unite the Democratic party.
The freo-sollers, who had soparated from
the Democrats in 184S. returned to the
fold on the basis of the Whig -compromise.
There was nothing distinctive for
which the Whigs stood. In the platform
of 1852 the Whigs naturally felt Impelled
to approve of the compromises. The
Democrats also approved of the compro
mises, and with great expllcltness
yarned the fugitive slave act as a
measure to be sacredly observed and
faithfully executed. Then the question
remained unanswered, what did the Whig
party stand for? It seemed to stand for
precisely the same thing which the Dem
ocratic party represented. A political
party In the American system is expect
ed td discover, criticise and oppose tho er
roneous policy of another political party.
It Is a primary duty of one party to
hold the qpposlng party to the responsi
bility of its own -acts. Tender the lead
ership of a Southern slaveholder the
Whiga-iad a great opportunity to secure
a permanent settlement of the whole ques
tion of the extension of slavery into new
territory, and to accomplish this It was
not necessary for them to do anything
but simply toieave the territory as the
Democrats left it. Undoubtedly some
Whigs were afraid that the Union would
be disrupted. President Taylor, who
knew the South well, had no more fear
on that subject than had President
Jackson 18 years before. In. any event
the way to save the Union was for the
Whig party, as a great National organ,
to hold its place. Of course the Whigs,
who were responsible for the compro
mise did not understand what they were
doing; they did not know that they were
destroying thejr party The Democrats,
however, were not slow to understand the
nature of the act. All that was necessary
for the Democrats to do In order to gain
an easy triumph over the Whigs was
simply to hold the Whigs firmly to the
responsibility of their own acts. The
Whigs have enacted the compromise, now
let them stand by it. Especially let them
stand by the fugitive slave act!
During the campaign the Democrats
were united and hopeful, while the Whigs
Genernl "Wlnfleld Scott.
"wore divided and despondent. In the Na
tional "Whiff convention there "was lack
of unity as to the platform; a consider
able minority voted against the clause
expressing approval of the fugitive slave
law. The platform, "however, was In this
respect made acceptable to the Southern
members. These gave almost their entire
support to Millard Fillmore as the can
didate tor the Presidency, while Winfield
Scott received the votes of all "who were
opposed to committing the TVhig party
to the sanction of the fugitive slave,law.
Daniel Webster was the favorite of 29
delegates, mostly from New England. In
the final result the South got the plat
form and the North got the candidate.
Scott was a "Virginian by birth, and was
nominated on account of his military ca
reer. Several of the leading Whigs 4n
the South openly repudiated the candi
date on the ground of his alleged free
soil tendencies. On the part of the Whigs
it was a lifeless campaign, and in the
outcome only four states, Vermont, Mas
sachusetts, Kentucky and Tennessee,
chose Whig electors. This proved to be
the last important Whig campaign.
The End of an Era.
The passing of "the Whig party coincide
cd -with the passing of great statesmen
and former leaders. While the Whig
convention was In session In Baltimore,
in June. 1S52, Henry Clay was dying in
Washington. No one had In. all respects
so thoroughly personated and represent
ed the party as he. Twice its standard
bearer; always in the minds of the- peo
ple, a candidate for the Presidency, he
had a personal following such as few
men have enjoyed. Daniel Webster also
hoped, and Indeed expected, to be made
the candidate of the party. He had been
voted for for President, but he had never
received the regular nomination of his
party. Twice, it Is alleged, he might have
had the nomination for tho Vice-Presidency,
and in each case had he accept
ed he would have become President
through a vacancy In that office caused
by death. Webster died In the midst of
the campaign. It is one of the remark
able coincidences of history that so large
a number of statesmen, who as young
men had begun to exercise a guidance In
National politics In the early decades of
the century should all at once leave the
burden of statesmanship to a younger
generation. Besides Clay and Webster
there was John Qulncj Adams, who died
at his post two years earlier. John C.
Calhoun died a little later than Adams;
Thomas H. Benton left the Senate, never
to return; old hands gave place to new
ones under new and greatly changed con
ditions. Slavery Question as n. Hindrance.
Had the War of Secession been fought
under the leadership of President Taylor
In 1850. It would have been brief, and
probably. It would have been entirely
bloodless, and It would have left the
Union party permanently ascendant.
South as well as North. Slavery would
have been confined to Its present limits
and removed from a dominant place In
National politics, and the great Whig
party, as the party expressing Union sen
timent and National aspiration, would
have disputed authority with the Demo
crats, who stood for the principles of
free trade, personal liberty and local au
tonomy. The parties would have divid
ed along the old lines of real or supposed
conflict in industrial Interests. And if
ever there was a time when a nation
needed to have all Its political energies
directed to the industrial Interests of the
whole people It was the United States of
America from 1850 to 1870. During this
period the railway, as a great National
institution, was created; during this peri
od the telegraph and the daily paper be
came an integral part of the National
life. It was during this period that busi
ness corporations, organized for the pur
pose of private gain, got possession of the
resources of the country. The founda
tion was laid for our most serious indus
trial problems during the period when
the attention of the people was monopo
lized with the question of the preserva
tion of the Union. It would have been an
easy matter to deal with tho railway
problem and allied monopolistic enter
prises before the Civil War. But after
20 years of neglect and after another 29
years occupied with the consideration
of special problems which the war cre
ated, satisfactory control seems almost
hopeless.
At the time of the passing of the
Whigs the tariff question seemed to have
reached a permanent settlement. The
Democratic tariff of 1S4G was In force.
It was a nloderately protective measure.
Had politics gone on In Its natural course,
the Whigs, as traditionally favorable to
the policy of protection, would have re
sisted further advances In the direction
of free trade, while the Democrats would
have contended for progressive advance
ment In that direction. But it was a
time when the shipping Interests of the
country were assuming vast proportions.
Tho improvement of rivers and harbors
by the National Government could not
longer be delayed, and the Whigs wero
naturally in a position thus to exalt the
Importance of the Union. Public im
provements In the hands of the separate
states had been proved Inadequate. The
Clayton-Bulwer treaty had Just been
signed, and there was a general expecta
tion that there would be a Nicaragua
canal In a few years. Both external and
Internal commerce demanded the guiding
hand of a vigorous National Government.
When the party system failed the people
were left without the means of controll
ing their National affairs. They became
victims to sectional strife, misunder
standing "and hatred. Parties were form
ed on sectional lines and the Nation was
transformed Into warring sections.
The Whig party might have recovered
after the crushing defeat of 1852, but it
did not. A bnownothlng party, organized
first as a secret society, spread all over
the country. North and South. The
Whigs did, Indeed, bring out a ticket
four years later, in 1SDG. and made Mil
lard Fillmore their candidate. FIHmoro
was likewise the candidate of the South
ern Knownothlng party, and as represent
ing the two parties combined he carried
the single state, Maryland. There was
again a feeble effort to revive the party
In 1800, but it was of no avali.

New Tork correspondent Chicago Times-Herald.
There is a good deal of dissatisfaction
here with the Republican National plat
form. It is criticised as lame, flabbld.
awkward, lacking the true ring. Mem
bers of the Administration aro disappoint
ed becauso their plans concerning the
platform went wrong.
After the important planks had been
fully discussd by a number of Senators
they were turned over to Postmaster
General Smith, and by him put into good,
sterling English. Then they -yrere ap
proved by President McKinley and sent
over to Philadelphia.
Senator Fairbanks was chosen for
chairman of the committee because he
had been one of the Senators consulted
in the preparation of the various planks,
and It was supposed he "would be ablo to
secure adoption of the draft -which tho
President had adopted or something close
ly approximating it. Now it appears that
Senator Fairbanks was not able to con

Sway Democratic Convention.
KANSAS CITY, Mo7 July L The United
States Monetary League is to hold a two
days' meeting here, commencing at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. An invita
tion had beep sent to Mr. Bryan to ad
dress the league, but he replied that
he could not do so, as It was not his in
tention to visit Kansas City this week.
It is understood that he said in his letter
that he would hold to the 16 to 1 proposi
tion. It Is given out officially that the
league will take no action, the session
to be devoted entirely to speech making.
It Is probable, however, that the members
of the league expect to have some In
fluence, in the making up of the mone
tary plank of the platform of the Na
tional Democratic Convention. Among
others who are on the programme for
addresses tomorrow are: W. H. (Coin)
Harvey, of Chicago; ex-Governor John
P. St. John, of Kansas; J. TL Sovereign,
of Arkansas; and Congressman Sulzer,
of New York.
Tuesday the speakers will be Thomas B.
Barkworth, of Michigan; Hon. Charles
A. Towne, of Minnesota; George Fred
Williams, of Massachusetts: General J.
B. Weaver, of Iowa; Hon. Alexander Del
mar, of New York and Hon. Flavlus J.
Van "Voorhis, of Indiana.
The meeting will be called to order by
Hon. Charles I, Thompson, of Denver,
the president of the league, and will
then be turned over to Judge John W.
Henry, president of the Kansas City
branch. It is possible that some one
may offer a resolution expressing the
views of the league for the guidance of
the committee on resolutions of the Dem
ocratic convention.

TO INVESTORS AND LUMBERMEN
We have until the 30th lnsL to sell 5000 acres of sugar pine timber land on
the McCIoud River, Siskiyou County, California, and two miles of standard gauge
railroad extending from the Southern Pacific Railroad at Castle Crag two miles
up Soda Creek to a mill site, pond and 500- foot water head.
After the 30th Inst (if we fail to sell), the whole thing falls into the hands of
the McCIoud River Lumber &. Railroad Company, the manager of which states he
will clear with the mill, railroad, store, box factory, etc., '300,000 this year cut
ting timber adjacent to the land we offer. As this land would run his mill three
yearg or more, its valuers apparent.
Tho two miles of railroad can be extended about three miles up Soda Creek,
and will then command from 150,000.000 to 200,000,000 of the most accessible timber
in California. Ifcan then be extended qver to the McCIoud River timber.
The elevation being low from 2000 to 3500 feet only and the ground favorable
for logging, it can be done for about J2 per thousand, while the sugar and yellow
pine lumber averages 100 per cent better price than flr.
With the property goes a small mill on the McCIoud, and other machinery.

TINY CARRIAGE IN AN EGG.
The Czarina and DovrnBer Empress
Jeweled Enater Tokens.
New York Sun.
No other Russian women have such
collections of Easter eggs as the young
Czarina and the !Dowager Empress.
It has, for many generations, been a
court custom for tho reigning Czar to
give his wife at Easter time an egg con
taining some handsome gift usually a
souvenir of some particular event, and
the present Czar and his father, Alexan
der in, have always observed the old
custom. The two Empresses have, with
considerable misgivings. It is said, allowed
their Easter egg collection to go to
Paris, and be placed on exhibition In the
Russian section of the exposition, and
the French dramatic temperament Is
deeply stirred and moved by this testi
mony to the intimate and cordial rela
tions between the two nations.
The first roceived by the present Czar
ina was given to her in the year of her
coronation. It Is a Urge golden egg, en
ameled in rose color, and contains a tiny
and perfect model of the state carriage.
In which the young "bride rode to the Mos
cow cathedral on her wedding day. Tho
coach is of gold, cushioned in red enam
el and hung with tiny silver curtains
which .can be drawn on gold wires. The
Imperial crown in beautiful diamonds
ornaments the panels.
The latest Easter egg added to the Czar
ina's collection was presented this year
and Incloses a splendid jeweled heart set
In rare, many colored gems and'surround
ed by 25 tiny miniatures, portraits of the
members of the Russian royal family.
Among the collection of the rowager
Empress Is ono egg that commemorates
a family storm and a royal problem.
Nicholas II. the present Czar, when a
boy, had, as all the world knows, a most
Irrational and vehement love affair. So
ciety was shocked, the heir apparent's
fend parents were distressed and alto
gether there was a' very Interesting ex-
nibition or the tempest that Cupid can,
upon occasion, stir up in a royal family.
Nicholas was hurriedly sent around the
world to complete his education, and,
as usual, time and absence reduced the
royal heart to its normal condition, but
tho Empress grieved greatly over the sep
aration from her son, and on Easter of
that year the Czar gave her an egg, in
side of which was a model of the ship In
which her rebellious lad was sailing away
from heart entanglement. A goldsmith of
famous skill had spent ten months mak
ing the ship, which was of solid gold,
mounted on a beryl stone, and was com
plete and accurate in every detail, down
to the smallest cable.

As Good as
Be
The St. Loul? special Is a first
class train for first and second
class passwngers.
It carries sleeping, tourist and re
clining chair cars, and a dining
car. In the dining-cars are served as
good meals as can be had at ANY
hotel on the Continent. So good
are they thnt if the St. Louis spe
cial were the very slowest instend
of. as It is. the very fastest train
from Portland to Kansas City, and
St. Louis, it would still be the part
of wisdom to take it.
