with the national colors, which, with
the gorgeous parudes and other events
of the day uud the magnificent il
luminations and displays at night,
made her lilne forth In one contin
uous blaze of glory during the whole
of the two days. It was a grand cele
bration and was participated In by a
large gathering ol happy, guy, social
and patriotic people.
All the events of Friday during the
day were published in IheCiUAKDof
that evening. In the evening at 8
o'clock a baud concert was given on
thettieets by the Corvallis M trine
baud. Early In the eveuiug thous
amis of people began to collect on
Willamette street to witness Hie grand
illuminated parade and by half past 8
o'clock both sides of the street was a
solid man of humanity for a distance
of two blocKs. 1 lie iiroci'Hsion soon
appeared aud proceeded gouti on W 11
laiuelte street and then relumed. It
formed a line over a quarter of a mile
long, which was gorgeously Illumi
nated. Iu the procession were over 70
bicycles, all brilliantly lighted, the
HgbU being arranged In every con
ceivable manner. There wer also
binders, carriuges, Implements and F
EDunu's big store on wheels, all of
which were blazes of brilliancy and
splendor. Bonieof the displays were
gotten up at considerable expense, es
pecially those representing the busi

Chambers.
At the close of the parade the I in
mense crowd beaded toward the grand
stand lu the court house yard where
the huge mass of people surged aud
seethed around the dancing platform
in the effort to see the dancers trip the
light fantastic. The Junction City
orchestra furnished the dance music.
Ho dense wns the crowd around the
platform that It was a late hour before
It could be cleared sulllcieully to er

gaiety aud everybody was out in their
brightest colors.
At 10 o'clock the procession passed
througn the principal streets. It was
the same as tho one of the day before
excep that it was lengthened by a few

Mtion ol the democratic party on
tlio silver question, us follows: "Mr.
I Whitney is entirely wrong in as
' miming that frte-Mlver democrat
'are forsaking the fundamental prin
ciples of democracy, or that ivlmt
! ho terms sound money democnis
are defending those principles in
j their endeavor to commit tin- party
Ito gold monometallism. Until the
republican partv met in St. Louis
I a tew days ago, there was never a
line written in a national platform
'of cither of the great parlies that
justifies the claim that cither one
was committed to that doctrine.
Over and over again tho democratic
party in national convention assem
bled hus put itself on record in the
clearest ami most comprehensive
langunge possible in favor of bi
metalliMU, the restoration of silver
to its place in our financial system
as standard money, and never for
a moment in the congress of the
United State him a majority or
anything like a majority of llie rep
resentatives of that party wavered
in its devotion to tho principles so
clearly enunciated in the parly
platforms. To assume now that
adherence to that principle is aban
donment of an established doctrine
of the party is to defy history and
ignore the most plainly written of
all its declarations of policy. It is
useless to claim that a tender of the
irood illieeB of the party to secure
an international agreement for the
free coinage of silver is tho fulfill
ment of its pledge so often made in
this respect. To sincere believers
in bimetallism for tho United
States, an effort of this character is
little, if anything, less than an un
qualified violation of sacred pledges
by a great political organization."
It was well enough that Senator
Thurston's committee should go to
Mr McKinley's limine and notify
him that ho had been named tor
president; but from the quality of
tho oratory, the errand may be
judged hardly necessary. The re
marks on both sides wore common
place and platitudinous. McKin
ley will write a letter within a few
weeks, which may bo expected to
contain something. Oregonian.
There is nobody happier over the
nomination of Mckinley than Ins
fond old mother. Slio was at her
son's houso when the jovful news
camo and was among tho first to
greet him. Eighty-seven years old
a few months ago, nil" is still iu
vigorous health and in possession
of all her venerable womanhood us
ono could wish to see. McKinley
who is reckoned as handsome, has
his mother's features, and between
him and her there has always Icon
tho closest companionship.
Junction CityTiuios: The judges

in strict economy wo ure of the
opinion tho discrimination is un
just. If the judges and clerks of
election ure entitled fd.UU per day,
the deputy sheriff is certainly en
titled to at least $2.00 per day.

HIS FIKST SKIJMO.V.
There was much onminctit, aud soinnu.
an adversd kind, too, win u the fn't bocams
known that young Dwllit Il.irllclil, frosli
from tho tlnsiloglenl -ju'inlnury, hud bocn
culled to tho puitorulu of ttu) church til his
native towu.
Tlio congregation of St. Kllzuhcth's was
quite as wealthy, fusMmmblo and srhtto
cratlo as any which lids particular wusttirn
town of "&,ihiii Inhabitants afTonlisl.
Ttioro had always been over this church
(onio man just old enough, just convnii
tloiml enough, to bo correct nml proper.
Hut this latest net of a stippowHlly Intxllt
gent vestry had knocked all tint traditions
und precedents sky high.
CouniKMit Is very volatile, and somehow
Inklings of what was passing luthu minds
uf the pwiplo, llku stilHlo fume, catun to
tliti oonsclousimss of thut very respectable
and commonly astute body, tho vestry.
And It (llsturlsul them In splto of tho so
ourlty they felt In their position.
Suppose now, for lnstnucothn thought
would conns in splto of Its inanlfost rutloo
thm upon tho mvorenil dignitary thai tho
bishop of tho diocese, U(Hin whoso casual
words they had so conlhlently depended,
was, after all, only an Interested friend of
young Hurtletd, and his words tho words
that had trapped them, only "spryngm to
cntoh woodcock.1'
Tho bishop hud said, apparently w ithout
Intention, that tho church which sonurod
that young llurlleld llrst might Is) con
gratulated, bcoauso ho would not Isi avail
able soon again. I lo had In him tho tank
ing of a great dlvlnn, and ho was sure to
go high lu urclesluntlcal orders.
Now, they were seriously considering
whether or not they had bocn tnkou lu hy
a theological suliterfugo. Might not t ha
bishop. If doslgnatwl as authority and ap
pealed to, say that ho had merely given an
Individual, private and casual opinion,
and could tho vostry say otherwise?
The.ro was ono, however, who, though
she felt tremulous over tho trial, never for
a moment doubled tho young clergyman's
ability to ooiuo out of the nrdenl triumph
antly, and that was Katharine Harmon,
tho girl who loved him.
Sho was tho daughter of ono of tho ves
trymen, A brum Harmon, and she fre
quently heard from her father tho fears
and misgivings which agitated tho body uf
which he was a inemlx'r.
Katharine and llurlleld had Ixsm por-
foctly honest wllh the staid old gentleman.
Ho knew of the love thut from childhood
up hud rxlsted bolwoou them, nml whllfl
he did not actually discountenance It ho
looked upon their affection with no favor
ablo vyo. Ho did not fancy n minister for
a lon-ln-luw.
When before entering upon his special
theological oourso llurlleld had askvd his
sanction to their betrothal, ho had been
given to understand that ho was only tol
erated on probation, and that tho suIhw
quent continuation of his iswltlnn depend
ed entirely upon Ids accomplishing some
thing.
It had oonie to bo understood between.
Katharine and her father that should
Dw-lght llurlleld succeed at tit. Kllza-
bcth's ho might be considered to have ac
complished something.
The momentous Sunday onino, ana,
without seeing Dwlght, Kalhurluo went
early to church. Tho Hnrmou pew was
far to the front, and when tho young no
tor entered his eyes could scarcely help
falling Immediately upon tho girl hulovod.
The chasi was crowded, tho people ex-
noolunU Hut tho young clergyman look
ed down lu the heart of one person them
and saw trust und help and lovo. And he
grow strong, strong as a very Samson of
the goswl.
Ho forgot his audlenco. IIo lost rdinacir
In his subject. He spoko with a fervor,
an eloquence, a directness, that thrilled
tho people before him.
Tho old, staid, respectable pillar or tns
church forgot to doze. Tho organist for
once forgot to admire Ids owu strong,
hiiHily hnnds. The choir boys forgot their
prunks nml Isihuved llko the little oherubs
which nolxsly ever mistook them for.
After tho sermon anil services were over
the vestrymen found themselves the mas
ters of the situation. Their cup uf Joy ran
over when tho leading banker of the town,
Mr. llulllon, tho dlgnlllcd aud reticent,
told as many nt them as hu ootild gut to
gether thut they hud "shown wonderful
prudenco and foresight In scouring the
services of thut remarkable young man."
' Katharine.
"Dwlght, you spoko llko ono Inspired."
"I was. Hut, oh, my dear girl, 1 am eu
ashamed. I was inspired by thoughts of
you."
"Ho still, Dwlght. I oatiia with the Idea
that 1 might help you. I felt that I had a
niessago from a higher power that I ooiild
give you In a glnnue."
Mr. Harmon overtook them, and as he
wrung tho young man's hand ha ex
claimed: "Dwlght, my hoy, In that ono sermon
you have accomplished much."
"And what shall I understand by that?"
asked the clergyman.
"Coma into tho house," suld the old
man. There was a (inllu Uhiii his face, a
blush on Katharine's, and a hsik of won
derful Impplness shone from the eyes of
tho rootor of St. Kltzuhuth's. Now York
World.

Sir Henry Irving Is very partlonlar
about tho way his private room at thu Ly
ceum Is kept. Adorning tho walls area
number of valuable pictures In oils, water
colors and black and whilo. Among them
are two of Whistler's.
Shortly before ho came to this country
Sir Henry gavu ono of his big "mid
nights," and among the guests was the
lively painter. No sooner had the artist
arrived than ho began to lnsMwt his own
paintings landscapes with great Inter
tut. They seemed, much to the amusement
uf tho other guests, to have an Irreslstlhlo
attraction for him. After ho had looked
at thorn for tho hiwt part of tho evening
Sir Henry laughingly asked him If he
wouldn't please look at something else.
"Why, Irving, there is something wrong
with them. 1 can't make 'em out," he
cicliilmed after a renewed examination.
And then after a pause: "They are hung
iipsldudownl And you never noticed II?
I oppose they've been this way for
mouths."
"I suppose they hnve," rejoined the ac
tor calmly, ' InU I think I may bo excused
fur not noticing anything wrong with
them when It has taken you half the even
ing to discover they ure updile down."
