BRYAN AND -TILLMAN.
The Principal Speakers at an Omaha
Jacksonlan Banquet.
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 7. The 10th annual
banquet of the Jacksonlan Club, of Ne
braska, was held at the Millard Hotel
tonight, 350 persons sitting at the tables.
The occasion was one of Interest on ac
count of the presence of Hon. W. J. Bryant
who responded to the toast "Democracy,"
and Senator Benjamin R. Tillman, whose
address was on "The Democratic Party
Its Duty and Destiny." .
Senator Tillman said the liberty and
freedom of the country depend on the
Democratic partj, whose future must de
cide the Question of Imperialism or free
dom. Mr. Tillman said he was pleased
at the enthusiasm with wnlch he had been
received. "I am not In the habit of at
tending banquets," said the Senator,
"and am somewhat at a loss how to "take
thi rmoerats on this occasion." He
said he had no aspirations to be a Na-
tlonal leader, but was satisfied to repre
sent the people who had chosen him for
that purpose. He defined the position of
the Democrats of the different sections of
the country and advocated the standing
together of all those who adhere to Demo
cratic principles. Mr. Tillman paid his
respects to ex-President Cleveland, who,
he said, wai not trying to "come forward
and save the party." He said he. refused
to compromise with Mr. Cleveland, and
said :t was presumption to attempt to
say what would be the duty oi the Dem
ocratic party four years hence. He de
clared no one could attempt to say what
would be the policy of the party In 1904.
"Our destiny." said he. "must be defined
by the principles which have guided the
party since Its foundation."
Mr. Bryan began his address at 1:25 A.
M. ITe said In part:
"I o no' take as personal the eulogies
offered to me this evening, but rather to
my connection with the Democratic
part."
Mr. Bryan, referred pleasantly to Sena
tor Tillman, and said he was glad to have
the Democrats of Nebraska know more
of the Senator than they were able to
learn through the press. Mr. Bryan, as
serted that he was by no means out of
politics, and each following campaign
would find him arrajed on the side of De
mocracy. "I would rather continue to lose," said
he, "than to surrender any of the prin
ciples for which we have fought. The sit
uation was not as dark In 1872 as now, but
we won in 1876. We are still In the right.
The, platform that was. right when writ
ten in KansaB City Is right now."
Mr. Bryan said the position of the Dem
ocratic party on the money question was
vindicated when the Republican party de
cided that it was necessary to increase the
morey circulation. He arraigned the Re
publican, party for what he termed hy
pocrisy on the trust question and other
planks of its platform. He insisted that
the Democratic party was the conserva
tive party, and that the people would
soon understand It In this manner. Refer
ring to party reorganization, he said:
"When a man Is divorced from his wife
he no longer looks after the welfare of
nls wife until he Is remarried to her."
Mr. Bryan predicted a regeneration of
the party and victory In 1904.

ship. Inasmuch as the chairman and sec
retary of the committee, had Issued a call

time when W. J. Bryan will be in that
city. It was decided to postpone action
until that time. At the Chicago meeting,
Mr. Hopkins will follow up his attempt
to reorganize the committee with Gold
Democrats in control.
OF NATIONAL IMPORT.
Exposition of 1005 to Commemorate
Levrls and Clark Expedition.
PORTLAND, Jan. 7. (To the Editor.)
In some quarters it is held that Congress
would not be likely to grant an appropria
tion to assist in adequately .celebrating
the Lewis and Clark centennial. How
ever that may be. It Is certain that a cele
bration worth the name cannot be had
without material assistance from the gen
eral Government. But when the far
reaching results of that exploring trip are
considered In the light of the addition to
our National domain of a number of pop
ulous states, embracing an area which
was an unknown and uninhabited region
100 years ago, with the further fact of se
curing more than 1500 miles frontage on
the Pacific Ocean, it would seem as If
there was ample ground for an Irresisti
ble appeal to Congress for aid commensu
rate with the importance of the occasion.
This will mean not only money, but a
welb-equlpped Government building. In
which the progress of the Nation may be
fitly Illustrated Emphasis should be given
to the fact that the event to be celebrated'
is an important National affair, and
should not be confined to the narrow lim
its of one state, or necessarily to the Pa
cific Coast States. Every state through
which the Lewis and Clark trail runs is
involved, and should participate In some
degree. Many other reasons might be
given why Congress should assist the en
terprise contemplated, but one will suf
fice; The Lewis and Clark exploring expe
dition was the first of its kind In the his
tory of our Nation, and when all that has
grown out of It Is considered. It will be
seen that no other single event in our
civil history has had a greater effect upon
the history of the world. It Involves the
discovery of California's gold, for that
was first found "by an Oregon pioneer of
1S44; and all that may ever come to us
of the Oriental trade, as well.

a superior force near Llndley. I regret
to say that Lieutenant Laing. two other
officers and 15 men were killed, and two

so enormous that there Is no doubt his
actual presence would result In a gen
eral rising. The Dutch have unbounded
faith that. If he had a sufficient supply of
arms and ammunition, General Dewet,

bring the war to a successful termina
tion. Charged With Seditions Libel.

EFFORTS FOR? FLAX.
Good Work Done by an Association
of Oregon Women.
PORTLAND, Jan. 6.-CTo the Editors
Having noticed through your columns fre
quent accounts concerning the flax indus
try in this country, as well as m other
papers and Journals, also noticing with
keen pleasure the evident increase of in
terest In the subject. It now seems a fit
ting time to say a few words on be
half of the Oregon Woman's Flax Fiber
Association and Its efforts. This associa
tion has been during lis four years' ex
istence, untiring In Us endeavor to pro
mote the industry of flax growing, and
create an interest among farmers of our
state to grow more extensively this grain,
which Is. by those well informed upon
the subject, pronounced aDrofitabl and

sometimes more, while the straw the
shorter and coarser quality can be with
but small expense utilized Into grain
sacks, which far excel in strength and
durability those now 90 much in use and
at but a small per cent. If any, Increase
in cost. -rwines, Duriffps, suitings, coarse
linens suitable for traveling, as well as
upnoisterer s tow, also can bo made
from this same straw, while the higher
grade fiber is steadily Increasing in value,
because of the demand being so in excess
of the aupply.
During the past three years, In Bel
glum and Russia world-famed flax-growing
countries the flax crop has been a
comparative failure, eausing some of the
oldest and most extensive manufacturers
to look to the United States, and even
cause some to cross the ocean. These
same persons are now looking for suita
ble locations, and frequently are commu
nications received by this Oregon asso
ciation inquiring as to amount of flax
grown In the state and showing Inter
est and desire to locate in this vicinity
and establish mills for the utilizing of
the straw into fabrics from the finest
damasks down the scale, If but the as
surance was given that sufficient acre
age would be grown to keep mills were
they they established busy the entire
season.
Dr. H. L Deimel, Inventor of the cele
brated "Delmel llnen-mesh underwear,"
says of recent date from Europe: "We
will establish a factory for the manu
facture of llnen-mesh cloth In a suitable
place In the United States preferably
Oregon, at any time at which there is
being established by proper parties in the
same place or neighborhood a spinning
mill of sufficient dimensions to Insure us
a regular and sufficient supply of the
yarns which we require. This factory
we will establish at our own expense, and
beside the llnen-mesh cloth for underwear
will manufacture bath towels, face cloths
and like articles." Further, on the same
date he states: "As to Oregon being a
suitable country for the flax industry, I
have had no reason to change my mind
since 1897, when I expressed myself favor
ably on the subject."
Upon October 39, 1900, the Oregon Wo
man's Flax Fiber Association forwarded
to the Agricultural Department at Wash
ington, D. C, as the result of experi
ment with Oregon straw grown by the
association, samples of flax, a grain bag,
woven at the Walla Walla State Peniten
tiary, where a plant for such work Is
conducted by the State of Washington:
some coarse towels made at St. Quentln
Penitentiary In California; also samples
of fine table linen and' two teacloths or
napkins, of superior quality. wovn in
Belgium from straw grown near Salem,
Or., by the association; in return for
which was received a letter bearing date
October 30, 1900, acknowledging receipt of
samples of flax and fabrics manufactured
from this association-grown flax; stating
further: "Please accept thanks for these
beautiful samples, which will Illustrate
the possibilities of the flax industry in
your region. After the samples have been
brought to the attention of the Secretary
of Agriculture, who is now absent, they
will be labeled and placed on exhibition In
the museum of their department."
Mr. G. Loppens, of Belgium, who some
two years ago visited the United Ejtates
for the purpose of introducing Into flax
growing sections a new system of ret
ting tanks for retting or , rolling the
woody substance (waste) from the fiber
of tho straw, came to the Pacific Coast
and to Oregon. At Salem he built for
this woman's association two of these
tanks. Mr. Loppens, In letter of Novem.
ber 13, 1900, wrote from New York that
he had again returned to the United
States, bringing with him his family,
this time to remain and "engage in the
flax industry and linen maufacturlng.
This association has demonstrated what
was its Intent and purpose at its incep
tion, that is: That Oregon can grow as
fine flax fiber, In all respects, as any
country of the world. Having done this,
its active workers being a band of women
and not accustomed to business methods
feel they would like to retire In favor of
Rome eomnany or corporation who will
carry on In a large way a business which
certainly has a great future for Itself
and this country. The attention of the
fanner, the banker, the merchant, Is
asked, and the manufacturer will follow
as a natural rrauii. .-aussaciiuocua, ui

Pacific, rank In time with Belgium. Ire
land, or any of the Old World countries,
as a llnen-produclng country? Oregon
wheat and fruit are famed, not only at
home, but In Europe and the Asiatic
lands'. Why can't we say as much for
flax and Its products, In the next few
years? "FLA"X."

RECTOR DENOUNCED.
Allowed Unitarian to Conduqt Wol
cott's Funeral.
" ft
New York Tribune.
The Rev. FathefOsborne, rector of the
Mission Church of St. John the Evangel
ist, who represents the high church wing
of the Episcopal body, has declared him
self strongly against the act of the rector
of Trinity Church In permitting the pas
tor of King's Chapel, a Unitarian Church,
to conduct the funeral of ex-Governor
Wolcott In Trinity last Monday. The
words of Father Osborne, uttered before
his congregation yesterday, have caused
much discussion. Father Osborne said, In
part:
The church has fallen upon evil times In
Massachusetts. To some It may seem as If
history were repeating- Itself and the days of
Alius micht come back. if. Indeed, they have
not come already. It was with shame and
sorrow that Catholic Chrlttlans heard that on
last Monday, In the largest church in Boston,
dedicated to the worship of the Lord Jesus
Christ, one who denies the Lord was permitted
to hold a religious service In the church, be
cause the priest who was In charge of It was
not faithful to his trust.
However great the occasion of those pres
ent might ba It was an act of profanation. It
Is of no use shutting our eyes to It. With
sorrow. Indignation and righteous anger, and
with shame that such a thing should be pos
sible, we have to admit It. There Is little use
In going to the public papers about It, but as
Christians we- may pray. And the one thing
needed most now Is that many of the clergy
may be converted to the faith, and that those
who hold the faith may not fall away.
People should pray for thhe church in Mas
sachusetts, and prav with hope. It is God's"
church, and even If all Massachusetts or all
the Eastern States lost ithe faith, the church
would not be lost: these are not the Whole
church; In the South and West It would still
live and proclaim the faith In Jesus Christ aa
.God.

ease runs down the bodily strength
so that It becomes an easy prey to
disease. Consumption docs not begin
in the lungs of one in perfect health
any more than throwing a lighted
match in a pail of water will start n
fire. Anything that will run down
the bodily strength will allow the
seeds of consumption to gain a foot
hold In the lungs. If people were
only alive to the fact that if they
attended to their throat and bron
chial tubes and allowed those
skilled in the treatment of these
parts to cure" them there would be
hut few cases of consumption.
While catarrh does not cause all
cases of consumption, it Is also true
that all those who hnve consumption
have been subject to catarrh. All
consumptives were catarrh victims.
They took cold; catarrh had pre
pared the way for consumption. Tu
bercular consumption ever requires
a break in the membranes -which
line the breathing tubes. Catarrh
furnishes the broken places in the
form of raw spots. The germs of
consumption from the air can only
enter the system when they find a
raw, sore, discharging surface.
Catarrh creates Just such a surface.
Every catarrh sufferer is In danger
of contracting consumption when
ever he or she breathes the nlr that
has Just been breathed out by one
who has tubercular consumption.
While no intelligent or self-respecting
doctor of today claims that
all cases of consumption are of a
catarrhal character, still, If the his

rangements for New Year's services, said
there would be no midnight service on
New Year's eve. as he. and his .brother
clergy considered such services an un
mixed evil. They were founded on mere
sentiment, it was declared, and were a
cause of much sensual excitement. "It Is
not good for you people to be out on the
streets In the middle of the night," he
said. Accordingly, It was announced that
there would be a special service, with re
newal of baptismal vows, from 8 to 9
o'clock, which would give a chance for
working people to get their rest and go
fresh and bright to their labors the next
day.
Father Osborne concluded by expressing
the hope that none of the young people
of the church of either sex would attend
any midnight services whatever.
UNION NOT REPUBLICAN.
Answer to Statements iMnde by a Cor
respondent. LA GRANDE. Jan. 5. (To the Editor.)
I notice, in your issue of January 3, a
communication by "M. H. C," In which
are many false and misleading state
ments, but I wish only to call attention
to a few regarding Union County. In the
first place, he classes Union County as
one among the four strong Republican
counties, which he certainly must know
Is not the case, if he knows anything
whatever about the political situation !n
this county.
Union County Is actually Democratic,
as shown by the head of the state ticket
at the elections held In 1900. At the June
election, William Smith (Dem.) received
in this county 1492 votes, to 1429 votes cast
for Malcolm A. Moody (Rep.) for Con
gress. At the November election the to
tal vote actually cast for the highest
electors on each of the two tickets were:
For Walter M. Pierce (Dem.), 1722; and
for J. C. Fullerton (Rep.), 1618.
He also says: 'The legislative candi
dates In the four counties were defeated
for no other apparent reason than, that
the Republican voters must have thought
that the candidates who were defeated
were the property 01 one or two Dosses.
By his statements, "M. H. C." seems to
have been making a political canvass of
Eastern Oregon during the holding of the
primaries, and, therefore, must know that
the followers of Senator McBrlde were
using all of their Influence, and making
every effort to elect to the different Re
publican county conventions delegates
who would be favorable to McBrlde's re
election. As the Republican county con
vention of Union County did not nominate
candidates for the Legislature who would
commit themselves as favorine the re- I
election of Senator McBrlde, a very large
portion of the eo-called Mltchell-McBrlde
faction of the Republican party lost sight
of all other issues, and, through a thor-
oughly organized and well carried out
deal with the Democrats, did everything
possible to defeat the legislative ticket at
the polls. It is a well-known fact that
they were assisted In this by some prom-
j lnent Federal office-holders, several of

fatal form of consumption so com

The expelled air of a consumptive
frequently contains the seeds of the

used to banish consumption is the
cure of catarrh, tWe ' disease- that
makes the development of consump
tion possible.
When cntarrh has existed in tho
head and upper parts of the throat
for any length of time, the pntient
living in n district where people are
subject to catarrhal affections, nnd
h disease has been left unoured,
the catarrh almost invariably ex
tends from the throat down th
windpipe nnd thence Into the bron
chial tubes. These tubes convey tho
nlr Into the different parts of the
lungs. The pain which accompanies
this condition is of n dull character
felt in the chest behind the breast
bone or else It is present under the
shoulder blade. The cough that oc
curs at this time Is dry, comes at
varying Intervals, Is hacking in
character, nnd is usually most
troublesome In the morning upon
arising or on going to bed nt night.
This peculiar character of the cough
is often the first ci idence that catar
rhal disease Is extending into tho
lungs.
At this stage of the trophic in some
caies there will be found strenks of
blood mixed with the mucus tttnt Is
expelled by the cough. In certain
other cases small mntics of cheese
like substances are spit up, which,
when pressed between the Angers,
emits a very unpleasant odor. Thlrt
last Is a very serious symptom. In
some cases catarrh it ill extend from
the throat Into the lnngs in n very
few weeks; in other cases It may ho
months, and even enrs, before tho
disease passes from the throat Into
the lungs. During the night fallow
ing the presence of these sj mptotnt
there Is liable to be profasc night
sweating. At this period of the dis
ease a further extension is ei er In-
duccd by n fresh cold and the fresh
cold at this time mny he nil that Is
needed to develop rapid consainp-
tion.
To show -what can be done in the
way of presenting consumption,
nothing is so convincing as thlm
Among the hosts that Doctor Cope
land every year treats, scarcely n
person who has been under his care
has been known to develop lnng dis
ease. This Is proof beyond question
that by curing catarrh development
, of consumption is prevented.
