ALL OR NOTHING.
Should David Bennett JHill be elected
governor of New York, which is by no
means impossible, it is going to cause
-some queer complications. In the first
place, it will make him the democratic
nominee for president, despite the fact
that a western man is desired. Vice
President Stevenson has the geography
of the situation, but geography will not
win as against the demonstrated ability
of Hill to carry New York. Hill's poel
tion on the income tax will strengthen
him in New York, and while it would
be, at the present time at least, an ele
znent of weakness in the country at
large, it is by no means assured that the
sentiment will not change concerning
the income tax by 1896. At any rate it
would deprive the republican party of
some of its thunder, for with Hill as an
opponent, the attack on democracy for
establishing the tax would lose its sting,
for every attack on it would be an in
dorsement of Hill's statesmanship,
Hill is head and shoulders above every
possible candidate for the presidency,
accept Stevenson, and if he wins his
present fight he will be for the nomina
tion invincible.
" Who the republican candidate will be
it is at present hard to say, but it will be
neither McKinley nor Tom Eeed. Their
pace is too heavy on the first quarter,
and they will come in bupched and in
the rear on the home stretch. Ex-Pres
Ident Harrison is not in touch with
those of his party who name the nomi
nees, and is therefore out of the prob
lem as utterly as Cleveland. The re
publican party realizes that in Hill it
has a foe man who must be downed, and
as a result every muscle will be strained
in the coming state campaign to down
him.
The New York state campaign will 1:3
the hardest fought and most closely con
tested of any that has ever been fought
in the history of the country.
NOT AN UNCLE HELM.
Under the above title a correspondent
of the Spokesman-Review comes to the
defense of Hon. John L. Wilson, con
pressman from Washington, who has
evidently been charged by some popu
list paper with usury. We re-print the
article simply to show what peculiar
ideas some people have of justice, hon
esty and fair dealing. It will be seen in
one sentence that the correspondent says
that "Mr. Wilson charged never more
than 5 per cent a month." "Justice,"
who wrote the article in question, would,
judged by his expressed opinion, be a
safer man to trust with his own prop
erty than someone else's. The article is
as follows :
"To the Editok: It is beyond un
derstanding that the populists should
attack John L. Wilson because of hie
half ownership in the money loaning
business of Alonzo M. Murphey & Co.
There is no evidence to show that this
firm has loaned money at a higher rate
than 5 per cent per month. If a man
accepts public office is that any reason
why he should not pursue lawful private
business? Mr. Wilson's money is his
own. He has accumulated it while
holding office as a public servant daring
twelve years, since 1882, when he came
to this state a poor man. If he had
wished to loan his money at .25 per
cent a month, there is no law to prevent
him doing so. At all events there is
nothing to show that Mr. Wilson has
loaned money on gold watches, as was
done by the populist leader, Uncle
Helm.
"The appointment by Mr. Wilson of
Alonzo M. Murphey, his partner, as re
ceiver ot the Spokane National bank
has been characterized as reprehensible,
because Mr. Wilson was supposed to
share in the monthly salary of $250.
What business is it of the general pub
lic whether Mr. Murphey or Mr. Wilson
get this money or divide it between
them?
"A congressman's salary is but $5,000
a year. Whj should a man eeek an
election to congress if he is not to take
advantage of his opportunities? Has
thrift become a crime. Justice."
Sufficient pressure has been brought
to bear on Mayor Frank of Portland
that he has consented to veto the license
ordinance. The members of the Mult
nomah county legislative delegation
have promised the mayor and council
that they will have the Portland charter
amended so that more . bonds can be
sold. This is all right as far as it goes,
but if our Portland friends will spend
their money judiciously and collect
taxes honestly and impartially, no more
funds will be needed. The Telegram
last night grasped the situation exactly.
Selling more bonds and paying more in
terest is ouly a matter of temporary re
lief. Anthing is better than that, even
the license tax. - . '
An attempt is being made at Union to
locate a beet snrar fnctnrvjfr.ora
have not seen anything concerning it
lately, but we hope to see the expen -
ment tried. If sugar can be made at
Union, it can be made here, and we be
lieve there is no doubt about the success
of the business at either place. . We im
port vast amounts of sugar, which if we
could manufacture it at home would
saye us much good money. We pay
foreign countries more for sugar than
we get from them for all the wheat we
export. At present Germany furnishes
a. large portion of it for the eastern
states, while ours comes from Hawaii.
The New York Times (democratic)
scores Hill unmercifully. As Hill has
not accepted the nomination, it is prob
able he is waiting to see the extent of
the storm that action caused. From the
expression of the Times, which repre
sents the administration wing of the
democracy, we think Hill will hesitate
about accepting the proffered honor.
AN INSECT EXECUTION.
How a Quartette of Files Put a Half
Burned Brother to Death.
Flies are not usually accredited with
great intelligence, but an illustration
observed one night recently goes far to
disprove any idea that they are entirely
bereft of thought. It was near mid
night and a writer for the Philadelphia
Call laid aside his pen for the day, but
was constrained to remain at the desk
by the strange actions of a quartette
of flies. One unfortunate buzzer had
flown too near the gaslight and had
been so badly singed that he could not
fly. Quite helpless, he lay on his back
struggling to overturn himself. He
almost succeeded, but so painful were
his efforts that mercy suggested the
speedy killing of the insect. But the
manifest agitation of four unusually
large flies prevented a hasty execution.
In great excitement the quartette cir
cled around the unfortunate, remain
ing within a radius of twelve incnes.
One pair seemed to touch heads, and in
an instant one of the two went sav
agely for the injured brother. After
contending with him for a brief time
the first helper left, when, without
lapse of many seconds, the second of
the pair went through the same per
formance. Here was a puzzle that re
quired close study to solve. Were the
flies striving to aid the sufferer, or did
they want to kill him, either because
of his uselcssness or to relieve him from
pain?
Seventeen times were combats for
such they soon appeared to be had.
The fly, lying on his back, fought and
apparently' sought to keep off the big
insects. As near as the eye could de
termine, they seemed to strive to reach
the neck of the Gv.Gerer. There was a
short, sharp fight each time. A few
grains of sugar were placed on the
desk, but the fifrhters were too greatly
absorbed to notice them. More pow
wows ccscei, am, three attacks fol
lowed. Then the four were frightened
by an attempt to catch them. One iiy,
not of the quartette, was captured and
placed under a glass with the wingless
member. Five minutes the stranger
flew around wildly, not going near the
burned fellow. The glass was re
moved, and in the course of ten min
utes four flics were again on the scene.
drying to kill the tmall insect. It was
then nearly one o'clock a. m., and the
Dbiserver, failing to inveigle any into a
trap, retired. Early in the morning
the fly that caused all the trouble was
found dead, with the grains of sugar
lying around him undisturbed.
. THE OLD EDITOR.
What Becomes of Men Who Hare Xed
Their Country's Thoughts.
For a time all goes well with the en
thusiastic, ardent young men who give
to their employers the full benefit of
their talent and learning and increas
ing experience, says the Gentlemarrs
Magazine. By and by, however, the
political partisanship or the editorial
supervision of the paper changes. New
questions arise, on which the proprie
tors and the leader writers find it diffi
cult or impossible to asrree. Gray hairs,
too, begin to appear before, as- yet,
there is any conscious diminution of in
tellectual power, though the mind may
be becoming less supple, less adaptive,
less responsive to hints from headquar
ters. Thus it comes to pass that men
who still feel themselves in the prime
of life, and were wont to be praised
and feted, discover a declining enthu
siasm for their work in quarters where
it was formerly highly appreciated.
Next comes the galling mortification
of unsympathetic editorial revision, to
be followed in time by rejection of con
tributions and reduction of salary.
As a rule it must be admitted that
newspaper proprietors deal patiently
and generously with writers whose
brilliant work and devoted service laid
the foundation of their papers' pros
perity and of their own fortune. Yet
it does too frequently happen that the
writer, who in the heyday of his pros
perity and fame has been indifferent to
worldly considerations, and has failed
to secure his future by a partnership,
finds himself compelled either to sup
press his own convictions and write
against his own beliefs, or let himself
be shelved when still in the maturity
of his powers his prestige declining
and his income diminishing while
those of other men in other professions
much his inferior in capacity and in the
power of work are steadily increasing.
The journalist who toils unselfishly
for the public, making everybody's con
cern his own, all too frequently neg
lects his personal interests. Often at
the end of the day he is himself a neg
lected man, having little comfort or
consolation beyond the reflection that
if success has not been achieved it has
been deserved. Of course, many press
men, especially those endowed with the
business instinct, do win fame and for
tune. In their declining years, as pro
prietors of prosperous papers, earning
high dividends, they have

in particular being that of a little

from head to foot with a red and ex

she had suffered for two or three years,
in spite of the best medical treatment
available. Her father was in great
distress about the case, and, at my
recommendation, at last began to ad

much to her relief and her father's
delight. I am sure, were he here to-day,
