Its Glory has Departed. Tho democrats are in a fix. Its organ here has nothing to say in defense of tbo3o "tiroo honored principles" it eo loved to dwell upon in times past. Cleveland has shot and killed it while duck hunting. He shot the right duck al last. So democracy is "a dead duck" now. The so-callod crgau of democracy in Rosoburs has war paint on for a sideshow ifsu Like a drowning man cttt hui at Htraws, this so called democratic org n here having uo princi plea or pirty liiiws to advocate, has seized on V. I A.ism, to it a sort of a godsend to keep itsrot'en hull afloat. But liko tho straws to a drowning man, that will not save it. The Review no longer tried even tu discuss the great incstions that divides parties, "tariff for revenue only." ''uionoply," "million aires," "surplu eses," or "sale of bonds" commands not its attention. The bosses have issued their edicts and lo, and behold! Cliolly "bends the pregnant hinges ot the kneo" and cuckoos to the mandate, "fight the d d A. 1. A. V Yesterday one of the most prominent candidates on the democratic ticket ad mitted to a fiiend of his that he bad no hopes of beinc elected. "The Review," he says, "has in my opinion killed our chances, if wo ever had any, through the disgusting methods they Lave pursued in conducting our campaigu. I suppose he (Fisher) means well enough but ho cer tainly lacks common sense or ho would devote a little more space to the candi dates and shut up harping A. P. A. I do not belong to the orJer, but I do be lieve that nine tenths of the people of this county are A. P. A.s at heart, and when they are reliably informed as to what the tine A. P. A. principles arc (as they surely will be sooner or later) they are bound to sympathize with the move ment to a great extent. Then the abuse the Review bs heaped upon the order, in my opinion will have just the oppo site effect from hat was intended, and I will tell you fnnkly that I am sorry 1 am on the ticket." The foregoing can be substantiated if necsssary. but as it was not intend .-d lor publication we with hold the name for the present. THE REVIEW'S ASSOCIATE EDITOR. The PuiNDcvLsaof the 2lst inst. is replete with a tirade on the tariff. The people who do the work of the country as well as the shop keeping portion are really sick of the office seeking idlers and their perpetual din about protection. If that paper could show a single instance where the effect of its partj'a action wilh a high protective tariff raised the wages of the worker one cent, daring the last twenty-five yean--, in the section of the country where that paper is pub lished there would be a reason, if only a trivial one for so much useless chin on the subject. Give us & rest and cease howling. Coos Bay News. The Pluxdealer need not go to the trouble to show up such facte. They ex ist all the same. It only needs to state that the catting down of protection by the democratic party ba est down the wages of hundreds of Rosebud's labor ers and made them idlers during the thres short years of democratic rule. The instances are numerous and our chin wags "forninst" them. New Order in Roscburg. The fertiie brain of young Americans are ever advancing. There is no retro gression. The evolution of thought is moving with accelerated force. The old effete ideas are riving way to the new. Several of the young men in Roseburg, moyed by this indwelling evolutionary thought have conceived the idea of evol ving a new secret order, hiving for its purpose, mutual aid in meqtal, moral and physical culture. Its name is sug gestive, "The Coming Men of America." The order has a president, secretary and treasurer. The president now is Earle jGaddis; vice president, Samuel Joseph son ; secretary and treasurer, Robert "Wil cox. The place of meeting at present is Grange Hall and meet every Saturday night. Shah Assassinated. Tkheea.v, Persia, 3Iay 1. While Shah Masir-ed-Din was entering the inner court of the shrine of Shah Abdul Azim, six miles south of this city, at 2 o'clock this afternoon, he was shot by a revolu tionary fanatic. The ball enteied in the region of the heart, and the shah ex pired within a few minutes. Immediately after the shah was shot he was carried to his carriage and con veyed to his palace in this city. The assassin, who was promptly ar rested, is said to be a Sayyld, from Cor mn, or the province of that name. It is believed the murderer has accom plices. Nasir-ed-Din acceded to the throne of Persia in IS43. at the age of 17 years. Indian War Veterans. Notice ia hereby given that a full at tendance t)f members of Umpqua Camp So.ii, Is required to meet at 1 o'clock, Saturday, May 10, 18D9, at tho court house at Roseburg, Or., for the election of officers, for the ensuing year, and for the tranFac'.ion of other business that may be need. R06eburg, Or., May 1, 1800. W. F. Duigos, Captain, Camp No. 0. II. H. Woomv.inn, Orderly Sergeant, Notice. .Mr. Willis Brown, manager of the Oregon Fruit Union of Portland, Oregon, will be at the Grange Hall, Roseburg, on Saturday, May 9, 18'J0, at 1 o'clock p. m. and will give a detailed statement of the disposition and sale of fruits shipped through the Oregon Fruit Union for the year of 1893.

He will bo his own confessor. Dkakv, May 1. 1890. Wo scin the pages of the last issuo of tho Reiuv in vain, for the gushing effusive advise of the third party on tho staff of editors that so ably and patri otically, edit tho Review, Michael Liber, (Michael has been very paternally and wisely dishing out Simon, pure demo cratic slops from tho.Ueview soup house), but look in vain. Where oh where has editor number 15 gone. Unlesa Charlie and Freddie carefully hide their beloved co-partner in politics and purity undijr a bushel or tub, he will soan bo returned to the Stale pen, where he naturally be longs In that splendid ariiclo by Michael, published in tho Reviow issue of the 27th ultimo, he unniniUtes the .republican party, strangulates tho popu list party and r-r-coHiimucmV tho A. P. A.'s entirety. .Sure he seems to think himself St. Patrick number 2, and that he will just .13 easily extinguish the A. P. A's from the face of tho earth as did Pat of olden fame banish the serpents from aold Ireland. Trouble withJIicAnr is he brought too many snakes with him in his boots from Ireland, to advise us free gratis how lo run our American institutions and then offering to run our government for us for what there is in it. It is simply ridiculously abturd to see how the Review howls about the A P. A.'s engendering strife in a pcacefu community between political iarties, churches, etc., and then joining in with that old rum-blwiled, fin jtoluted, ton of Ireland, in Ughting a aceful cutnniu nity like Drain. To ssy that tho jeople of Drain without rvgird to political faith or religious creed;, are justly iudignant, is putting it very mildly indeed. Oh consistancy, thou art a j-wel! Tho hoodlum to whom Michael refers has never yet reached such a depth of degradation that he would openly insult a lady on the streets in broad daylight or waa'-ouly abuse an innocent girl with epithets vile and blasphemous. Michael Liber arraign the A. P. A.'a over a nom do jdume ! Let me say to the readers of the Review as well as Charley and Fred die, that it would be like satan in his blackest garb arraiging an angel of light What '. Michael Liber reside in Drain ! No indeed, he don't resido anywhere. The people of Drain positively refused longer to abide his presence in the city limits, eo he extsis somewhere up the gulrh. We might add the tlume will still hold one or two more. Ciiaiu.es Bon. Ball and Banquet By the B. P. O. Elks. At the Opera House last night a grand ball was given by the Elks of this citv. Roseburg Ledge, No. SiO. The seats in the auditcnnm were removed, which gave a floor room of ample dimensions lor the large number of gentleman and ladies, while there remained scats for a hundred or more lookers on. There were about 30 couple of dancers. The ladies were tastefully and elegantlr dressed in ball costumes and made a fine appearance in the giddy whirls amidst thee Terrsichorean throng. The Roseburg Orchestra, led by F. H. Appelhoff, furnished the music which was excellent, beioj; rendered by skillful performers, such as the members of this orchestra are noted. Here for about six hours to the bewitching strains cf fine music, the youth and beauty of Roseburg did meet to chase the fleeing hours with busy feet. It was one of the very enjoyable events of the season. Tilt BNH I.T. At 1 1 :o0, after having done full honor to that fickle goddess T-rpsichore at th9 temple, they rtpiired : , the dining hall at the McClallen where a superb ban quet was prepared under the supervision of Mrs. McClallen assisted by her sister, Mrs. Bracket. The dining hall was lav ishly decorated and in a most tasteful manner. The emblematic color of the Elks, royal purple, formed a conspicuous feature. The walls of the room were tcatefully embroidered with festoons of evergreen set off with beautiful fiowera of the Eeason. The national colors were entwined with the royal purple, while bouquets oftlowcrs like diamonds in a necklace gleamed cut with indescribable beauty. The whole presented an en chanting scene, which called out ex pressions of delight from tuauy of the beholders. One lady was heard to say, "Oh how lovely," another "Oh my, what a lovely sight," another "How nicely decorated." Upon the lloor, amidst this wilderness of indescribable beauty there stood threa tables superbly arranged and decorated with floral beauty, on which were laid 120 plat;s and accompanying adjuncts for a grand banquet, which was served by those affable and very attentive waiters, Messrs. Walter Boon and Pearl Hutton, whoso alertness and agreeable manners have aided much in making tho McClallen a popular hotel with tho trav eling public. Mrs. McClallen, tfeo popular hostess of this house, is a charming entertainer and finds time to personally superintend the culinary department as well as the parlor and exchequer. The viands served were in keeping with tho decora tions. Tho tables fairly groaned under the delectable menu prepared, to which ample justice was done by the partici pants. This ball and banquet will long be re membered as one of the very enjoyable episodes in Roseburg eocietv, and Mrs. McClallen and her obliging assistant will ever occupy a worm place in the hearts of her cuestu for this very agreeable en tertainment. Novelty Oold Watch. No. 282, Miss Anna Aloxander, a poj ular young lady at tho McClallen House is tho lucky guesser. Mr. J. A. Perkins, No. 537, and Mrs. F. C. Fitzhugh, No. 281 were the near onts. After the heat of election the demo cratic machino will have a hot box. BRIEP MENTION. From Friday's Dally. C. McBrido of Portland ia a guest at the McClallen, "W.

The professor looks as if times and seasons hang lightly on his shoulders since he left hoseburg for greener jiastures. Mrs. Ella Houston, Grand Chief of the Rathbone Sisters, returned from Eugene on the local Friday evening, after an official visit to valley lodges. Mrs. Houston is an organizer of lodges. a i-ositioa she seems well fitted for. Burb Brockway, one of Roseburg'B genial souls, but whose heart has not been touched by that tender passion which transforms a man from single to double blessedness, returned from Eu gene on the local yesterday, as jovial as is his invariable habit. Will Madison, late of the Roseleaf in Caro's block, left last night for Portland on his way to Asoria, where he expects to locate in business. Will is a genial gentleman and makes hosts of friends wherever he sojourns. Mrs. Madison will join him in the near future at Astoria. I understand that Mr. Callahan is reporting that I threw his piano out of tho house and is Irvine to filiow I have treated him unfairly thereby. To all who hear his version of the matter I would ask them toheartny side of the story before passing judgment. S. Bailey. F. M. Sebring of Dillard made this office a friendly call today. Mr. Sebring reports that in bis vicinity tho Italian prunes have been mostly killed by tha late frosts, also the peaches.

F. of Oregon, was buried Thursday, April 30tb. under the auspices of the order of which he was an honored member. Tho funeral services were held at the Odd Fellows Tcmnle. arid the body given burial at Lone Fir cemetry.

Hon. George M. Brown, our talented fonvenie orator, started for Empire City today to closo his labors in that county as district attorney for tho sec ond j- Meal district. It is with pleasure we - state that tho concurrent opin ion . .ill who have witnessed his labors and noted his success, is to the effect that Mr. Brown has been tho most suc cessful and economical disrict attorney this district has ever had. Ho is pains taking and cautious and has uniformally insrueted tho grand juries to make no indictments, where the evidence beforo it was doubtful when presented in court for final trial. Gftcn complaints have been lodged against parties for personal spite, apparently for the purpose of smirching tho accuseds character. Mr. Brown sifts these complaints and ad vises accordingly. Th us saving to tho taxpayers great and useless expeiue. Wo trust his successor, whoever ho may bo, will be equally watchful of our in terests as haa been Mr. Brown.
