THE SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE.
The recent Republican conven
tion in Portland was in many re
spects a memorable one. Aside
from the intense feeling displayed by
the disputants for seats in the con
Tention, the meeting had an histo
rical interest that impressed deeply
those who were familiar with the
events of the past thirty years.
Some of the scenes approached the
dramatic, especially when the ivhite
Laired statesman, E-Atty.-General
"Williams, at the request of both
disputing factions, arose to state the
truth as he saw it to be. Dramatic
all would call it who heard the man,
who not only in state, but in nation
al affairs, had received a full meas
ure of honor, point out the course
which it was safe and wise for the
convention to follow.
After serving the nation as scna
tor,' as a member of the president's
cabinet, as one of the High Joint
Commission, which aided in settling
the most serious international ques
tion that has arisen between this and
a foreign country since the war
Judge Williams cum3 into the eon
vention to say what should be done,
and, as if justifying their faith, the
members of the convention did what
was told them.
Through all of Judge Williams'
speeches aud acts could be detected
the spirit of compromise not the
base surrendering of any moral right,
but .the disposition to meet half way,
to give .and take allowing to both
sides the merits that were theirs.
Judge Williams whole career has
been an exposition of the value of
compromise as a working theory.
"Whether we admit it or not, it is the
only working theory where "many
men of many minds" all meet to
gether to decide upon a -course of
action and there can possibly be but
one. Sometimes this theory dods
not seem applicable to all phases of
a subject. Shall we. send our army
by land or water? A half and halt
project applied to transportation
would result in sending them into
a swamp; applied to the troops, half
of them taking the one route, the
remainder of them coming, perhaps
not so quickly, by the other, avoid
ing some of the difficulties of the
first, are able to save the day for the
victorious general.
"We are not forgetful of the posi
tion of the stump orator who said to
his would-be constituents, "I assure
you, my friends, you will always
find me steering a straight middle
course between right and wrong."
This is not the true spirit of com
promise; rather does it mean straight
hitting whenever it can be done;
when common sense says it cannot,
then do the next best thing possible.
Away back in the 50s Judge "Will
iams delivered his views on this sub
ject of compromise in a lecture on
that title, which he delivered in sev
eral of the valley towns. He worked
under this flag in the Reconstruction
period, at a time when any other
course would simply have let loose
the dogs of war again, when the
remnant that has now grown to sti2h
a lusty manhood would have other
wise been still further torn and
wasted.
If this spirit taken in its true
interpretation not meaning the com
promise of good with evil, but the
accommodation that would adjust
the edges, which otherwise would not
come together could be extended
to the incidents of every-day life
and made a part of each man's code
of action, how much more sfnoothly
the affairs of . life would glide.
The politicians of the country are
combining against McKlnley, which
will make him all the more the pop
ular candidate. The people want a
reenactment 'of the protective policy
under which the country has pros
pered, and McKialey stands fore
most in connection with such a pol
icy. For this reason he is the logical
candidate, and unless all signs fail,
will secure the prize. In every
state there is a strong sentiment for
McKinloy, which will find expression
at the St. Lo.uis convention despite
the efforts of the politicians to con
trol it.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to care in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. , Hall's Catarrh Cure ia
the only positive care known to the
medical fraternity.' Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a consti
tutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh
Care is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building, up the con
stitution and assisting nature in doing
its work. The proprietors have so much
faith in its curative : powers, that they
offer One Hundred Dollars for any case
that it fails to core. Send for list of
