It nerved ita purpose and like all utilitie should have been laid aside ben the time came; but it wu too handy. It ws applicable to other ends, and one of the local parties ia applying it now for all the world as though it had in spired the thing primarily. The fag-end Democracy has it employed at the pre ent moment, as a lever for gaining a foot-hold on the political ladder in June. "To what base use-," etc- etc. WEATEES TODAY Portland, Nov. 18.

The short-horn Democracy at present controlling the destinies of the "Citi tens" campaign in this city, is fulsome NO CANDOR IN DIPLOMACY. The Berlin Foreign Office feels im- pUed to give out the statement that Germany will afford Russia no a.-i"t-ance in suppressing a rebevllion in Po land should an uprising occur. Thi tatement may be taken for what it i worth, but those experienced in the ways of diplomacy will not attach great Wright to it. But whv has Germany been constrained to volunteer a dis claimer of this kind at this particular I time! If von Buelow simply desired to inform the Russian government that it must not look to Germany for help in a 1'oliso crisis, it could nave done sol privately insU-ad of publishing it to the world in a manner calculated to add to the embarrassments which are throng ing about Count Witt. IToiwbiy the impelling motive wa a desire to keep the Prussian Fules from joining their I Russian brethren in a demand for autonomy. Melissa chewed her pen ataff In pre tended meditation aud kept one eye on lMcky Johnston. Dicky had shown algus of wandering way from the fold aud must be brought back. It was deckled ly against Melis sa 'a creed to allow another girl to re ceive even au lota of admiration from one of her coterie. There was a girl belonging to the house party, a blond, Melissa thought contemptuously, who had received cu tlrely too much attention from Dk-ky Therefor he must be disciplined. Ills lesson must be decided it once and to the point. Having decided ujhm this, Melissa gave her pen one conclusive Dibble and commenced writing hurried to DONT FOOL YOURSELF.

Even the stranger within the gates of Astoria doea not need be told that this plea is false. The issue is closely and clearly cut: The Democracy, with the assist . ance of its trailers, expects to ride into place and position on this issue. Tbey hope to break down the influence set up here for the common good, and by ex citing a contest involving the cupidity trary, it is the personal popularity of the President. If one takes pains to scan Southern comments on Mr. Roosevelt closely, he will see that the Southern ers have come to regard the President as pretty much a Democrat, They upeak of him at standing for Democrat policies and voicing Democratic aspirations.

"Why don't you stop and amuse fellow?" he urged. "What are you writing?" "Oh, Just writing." she replied airily her tone Insinuating that there were subjects beyond bis comprehension. "To a manf he asked sulkily. "A very charming man," she assured nlin Impressively. "It's rather an Im portant communication," she contin ued. "I wish you would look over this page and see If It is too stilted." , Dicky took It up with relieved alac rity, but bis face lengthened visibly as he read: I have decided that I will marry you. I don t kuow wby I hesitated. If you can get away from town for a day take the Ederton local for Mrs. WIm- berly'a country place, and you can tell me If you ore glad I didn't keep you waiting any longer." Dicky banded It back and commenced a study of the library fire. "I don't see bow any one could pos sibly call that stilted," he growled. Melissa signed the note, sealed It and directed It to Dr. John Ilartly.

"I knew there was some kind of Joke connected with It, child," he said sooth ingly. "There was obliged to be some Joke about the fact that a girl your age would dream of marrying an old man like me." "I don't think you are-old," came In uiutncd tones from the padded back of the chair.
