Synopsis of first column editorials of the Portland Oregon Ian and Seattle Post-Intelligencer on Chairman Dick's reply to Chairman Salen's challenge for a joint debate between Mark Banna and J. H. Clark, republican and demo cratic candidates for Un.:ted State senator- ' (Oregonian.) It la the sure mark of the pettifogger to bgln a specious , plea .with the words "in all candor." This is what Chairman Dick does In hla answer to the John H. Clarke challenge for a joint debate with Senator Hanna. The letter la out, It Is a poor, weak thing, ready persuaded but It can only repel It will., persuade thosa wro are al the fair mind. -. ....... . a ', The truth is that republicans are di vided precisely ' as the democrats are: and even if they were not. It would be rather to their discredit than otherwise. - It ia Mr. trick's idea of politics that every man In a party should take his ideas from the central body of the organization and entertain no others. ' The intellectual convictions of Han na and Foraker "never clash. Their views are east in the same mould. It is only their ambitions that get at. cross purposes. . This is not, as Mr. Pick see ma to think, a mark of mental superiority; it is rather tbe stamp of craven minds, knowing policy only and never truth, 1 - . Take the country over and Mr. Clarke. If he haa the dextrity can And in republican differences a paral lel for every democratic embaraasment which Mr. Dick so Jauntily exploits. He may for example, ask whether Hanna belongs with tariff-rev)sionist8 like Babcock and Cummins, or , with standpatters like Aldrich and Payne. Does v he favor Cuban reciprocity, with Koosvelt, or stand with the "ln- (Poat-Intelligencer.) V The reply of Chairman Dick, of the republican state committee of Ohio, to the challenge of John H. Clarke, democratic candidate for the United States senate, for a joint debate with Senator Hanna, la certainly pertinent -. Before there can be a debate over political issues, It muet me made P '.. parent that '.here are political issues to be debated, and this is precisely what cannot be done when any dem ocrat challenges any republican to de bate without first defining his own position. . There ia not a single separate ques tion of national politics 'n regard to which a single element in the demo cratic party is not in sympathy with the republican attitude. The dividing line betwe?n democrats of different brands is fully as sharp, f-o far as politics are concerned,' as Is the dividing line between many pro nounced democrats and the republi can party. , Ths, republican party stands for sound money. Mr. Clarke, unless he -has recently changed his views, does the same. The republican party stands for protection. So do many democrats. The democratic party In cludes men of every shade of opinion on the subject of tariff, from the rad ical free trader to the ultra-protectionist. . On the -tuestion of a retention of the Philippines, it is reasonably certain that a fair majority of the democrats of the country stand with the repub licans. On the question of the trusts, the same, phenomenon Is surgents" against It? Does he go to the limit of Imperialism" with Root, ,,resontt or shout for "consent of the govern- mrn the democratic ecr wun tioarr is ne lor gna wun Lodge, or silver with Carter and Wolrott? " "W1H he say with secretary Root that the war amendments are a failure, or support the Payne proposal to enforce them to the letter on the Southern representation " hi Congress. Perhaps there is this much truth in Mr. Dick's indictment: that Individ ual freedom is greater in the demo- . cratlc than in tha republican, camp. It has always been a debatable problem party finds Itself; when it is committed for or against free trade; for or against sound money; for or against the Phil lppit.es; for or against a regulation of the trusts; for or against the enforce- mant of all the provisions of the con stitution and the laws, then and not till then will there be issues to be de bated. Thus far in advance of na tional election, it cannot be predicted with any confidence what attituue the democratic party as a whole may as whether as many republicans would aume toward any of the propositions. have bolted McKinley as democrats although the position of the rspubli bolted Bryan If the position of the can party is clearly and unmistakably parties on the money auction m 1896 Known of all.

It is his idea that the American Indian of the present or re cent past is a development of the Mon golian race and that the Indian of the future will be a? development of the Causasiana This, like all of Professor Starr's many queer theories, is inter esting; but it is not so important for immediate consideration as some of the discoveries which are an outgrowth of it For instance, it has prompted the Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser to make some mental Investigations with this astonishing result: : , "If the development of which Profes sor Starr speaks should result in giving us only the best traits of the American Indians, the result would be gratifying, for thay possessed in an eminent de gree Borne of the finest qualities of the human family. Cruel they may have been, but they never lied. Treachery towatds an enemy may have been one of their traits, but they never deceived a friend.' They would take the scalps of their foes, but no exigency would fcrce them to rob or steal. And so of some or their - characteristics which might wen be imitated by the white races, and adopted in lieu of some of our own." The following question is propounded by the Prosser, Wash., Record:' 'When a miner swings his pick and brings out a gold nugget worth $3,278, as one did in Alaska the other day.how much good did he do for society? What more claim does he have on society than the man who makes 3,27 in counterfeit money?" This is a bid for the watchful care of a government inspector. If the writer is sincere the government has a right to suspect he has serious inten tions of going into the counterfeit bus iness. The Gardiner Gazette asks Its readers to paste in their hat the information that Oregon became a state in 1859 and nas an area of 6,030 square miles. The Gazette must be allowing for forest re serves as tne state contains 96,030 square miles.

Malaria is not confined exclusively to the swamps and marshy regions of the country, but wherever there is bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous vapors and gases from sewers, and the musty air of damp cellars are laden with the germs of this miserable disease, which are breathed into the lungs and taken tip by the blood and transmitted to every part of the body. Then you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the cause. No energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling malady. As tha disease progresses and the blood becomes more deeply poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark or yellow spots appear upon the skin.
