Bat the' Active Progress! veness of the
Gaul Contradicts This.
SAVANTS AND ISVEKIOBS KQUAI. 1'9
Her Peasantry Kuloy in y - Contentment
Better Tban Their Continental
Fellows.
New Yoke, July 11. From the census
taken of France the interesting fact is
learned that the' deatha in that country
last year exceeded the births by about
fortyrthousand. The remarkable feature
of it is that this tendency toward depop
ulation cannot, in the circumstances, be
regarded as a sign of national decay or
of growing weakness. No doubt the peo
ple over on the other Bide of Alsace
Lorraine may find the disproportion be
tween deaths and births symptomatic of
a coming doom. ' But the activity, pro
gressiveness and prosperity of the Gaul
contradict this. As a military power
France must now be confessed equal to
the best. She maintains her supremacy
in the world of art unshaken, and her
savants and inventors are only surpassed
energy by those of America. Her
peasants are as contented as any, and
the opportunities they enjoy are better
than are offered to any. of their- fellows
on the continent. They are not over-
I'crowded, for one thing, and they have
no fear of famine. It will be; awkward
for economists to explain that discrep
ancy 1 between - the country's general
condition and the figures of the census.
wuruittW,
. . Washington, July 6. The bill for the
free coinage of silver ia the absorbing
topic just pow and will continue to give
the politician's in both parties more
trouble than all the other questions now
before congress combined, for there is
a general belief that the issue is to have
considerable influence in the campaign
just beginning, and there is such a radical
difference in different sections of the
country upon this subject that there is
no one who is able to say just what the
effecVwill be one way or the other. With
the leaders of both parties on record
against -the bill many, politicians think
it will not be surprising ' if " the 7 third
party people carry enough states on this
issue to prevent either. -candidate from
having a majority of the electoral votes
and thus throw the election into the
houBe. Dispassioned leaders on - both
sides seem to think it is more necessary
to look after the votes of the three east
ern -states, which will probably decide
the result of the election, New York,
New Jersey, and Connecticut, than it is
to cater to the silver states of the west
Unless the influence of President Har
rison on the one hand and Mr. Cleveland
on the other is brought actively to bear
against the measure it is likely to finally
pass, and a decision of. the matter may
be reached by tho time this letter ' is in
print. It is believed that the Presi
dent is not quite so much averse to ' tak
ing the responsibility of a veto as he was
some time ago. ' -

MliEAT HALSTEAD ON BLAINE.
Fame Second Only to Weoster A
Grand Figure la n intory.
Mr. Blaine informed his friends two
or three days ago that he knew his'
chances for the presidency were'. slowly
and Irretrievably failing. Gallant efforts
were mode to revive them V and they
were supported by generous expressions
of popular' feeling. As he regards the
chapters of history associated with those
delays at Minneapolis, if he feels him
self ' at all' stricken, and looks at ' the
shaft by which he was pierced,-he may
find that he was guided in this uner
ring flight, as the eagle, by -his own
plumage. ' It was his tetter to Clarkson,
so much com plained of by the friends of
the administration, that nominated Har
rison.' The question is asked r-what ef
fect will the story of the convention
have upon the fame of James G. - Blaine?
The Answer is easy and historical in its
nature. When one thinks of the fame
of Daniel Webster, the most colossal
figure in our political history, who' re
members or tares that lie got but .29
votes in the Baltimore convention in
which lie was for the last time a candi
date for the presidency, standing against
his executive chief, Millard Fillmore?
It is not much to say ; and now is the
time to eay it ; that the mark which Mr.
Blaine has made in American annals,
though not so austere and grand as that
of Webster, is equally brilliant and lofty,
useful and honorable. The Author of
the pan-American idea, of a policy com
prehending the hemisphere, and of' the
system of reciprocity that has opened
foreign markets to our products and
made-New York more than ever the
Golden Gate of the North American con
tinent, will be held in remembrance as
long and will not be less illustrious than
the expounder of the constitution of the
United States."
An Early Settler.
Prineville News. During' the week
we received a pleasant call froth Dr. L.
Vanderpool, who was in Prineville -on
business with the county-court. The
doctor was one of the first to make
permanent' settlement here, and 'bis
fun dof reminiscences of the days' when
he came to Prineville and found only
settlers lonely cabin on the sat, is
interesting. ' This is his first visit' for
several years and he is of course able to
note many changes and improvements

. A. Fight fer Right.
Olympia Tribune. Seattle, with her
present harbor, which is claimed to be
the best on the coast, can well afford to
defer the improvement of her inland
waters until the harbors now necessary
to commerce are made safe and adequate
to the present. We are not hostile to
the interests of Seattle, but we are de
termined to defend our own and protect
those of the state at large against the
greed of a private enterprise. .

THE KRUPP GUN COMES.
The Interest fMct Kaiser WiMm
Ms in the Fair.
REAL REASON OF KRUPPS WORK-
The Kaiser's Expressed Wish Taken a
a Peremptory Command. .
THK IMPOKTASOK OF THE 8IIOWINO
A X.ittle Spectacular Business to be G1t-
en In a Hignly - Impresaive
Manner. .
Chicago, July 11. A Berlin dispatch
states that it is told by good authority
that at a recent meeting between Kaiser
Wilhelm and the proprietor of the great
Krupp gun w.orks the young German
monarch asked the manufacturer why
he had not made preparations to exhibit
his monster cannon at 'the worlds fair
in Chicago. The reply was that it would
hardly pay ; the expense must be enor
mous and the resultant benefits scarcely
in proportion. "But sir," said his maj
esty, "I wish you would exhibit." The
Kaiser's expressed wish is, of course,
nothing less than a peremptory com
mand to his subject's, and this brief in
terview, it is said, is the real reason why
Herr Krupp is preparing for an enor
mous showing at the worlds fairgrounds.
The Incident reveals plainly enough the
interest Kaiser Wilhelm feels in the'
worlds fair and his appreciation : of the
importance of displaying his country'
power there in all trie formidable maj
esty of its fighting equipment. The em
peror, in making this demand, indicates
his belief that Germany cannot afford to
be Been here at anything but her best
and strongest. And the ootintiy that
owns the Krubb gun works is certainly
able to do a little spectacular bnsiness
in a highly impressiveway.
A Sky Picture.
Glacier. Dr. Barrett's weather re
port frout this section for 'June, shows -there
was a fine solar halo on the 3d at
6 ;30 p. . in., - four corona? at cardinal:
points, the upper coronse was indented,,
as if a small disc had been cut out. The;
coronse was very bright, -a ad a second
ring a duplicate of the first, only not so-
bright, surrounded it. In . the evening .
there was a fine lunar halo. At 7 :45
the same day a brilliant meteor fell, its.
course being from east to west, and be
ing near enough to pass in front of the -hills
on the Washington side of the Col-,
nmbia, which made a fine back ground
for it. It was a sea foam green in color,.,
and left a train Of brilliant sparks.
Why Dally With It?
Spokane Review.. If Andrew Carnegie
has more protection than he needs or
deserves, why in the name of Cobden is
no effort made to reduce it? The demo
cratic house has now been in session for
seven months, and nobody has heard of
an attempt to cut down the protection
afforded the iron manufacturers of the
east,' although several bills have been
passed to put western products on the
free list. -
Whitney Pon't Put op For It.
Union-Journal.' Whitney, who is
managing the Cleveland campaign, is
not only one'of the charmed circle of the
Standard oil company, but is also the
owner of nearly all the street railways
in New York city.' During the past two
years he has reduced-the wages .of car
drivers and conductors sufficiejitly so that
he can weir afford to give largely to the
democratic campaign fund.
The Canal Can Watt.
Spangle Record. An open highway to
the sea by way of the,Columbia is what
the people of eastern Washington are
bound to have. The Lake Washington
canal may be put in some day, but not
until the Columbia river is opened for
traffic to the ocean. '
