A THREATENED CALAMITY.
The Democratic mob at Chicago
has done what was expected of
them. Disregarding all .restraint of
reason, they allowed themselves to
be swayed by the impassioned oratouy
of a demagogical speaker, and while
under the spell of his magic wand
chose him as their candidate.
The nomination of Bryan is one
of the phenomena of American pol
itics. A week ago he was hardly
spoken of as a presidential possibil
ity. Now he is the leader, named in
a convention amidst the scenes of
wildest enthusiasm. His success
means the widest schism in the party
whose ostensible candidate he is.
Bryan represents the free silver idea
in all its wildness. lie is an ephem
eral creature, gifted in speech, with
little or no experience in statecraft
and be u rid to a single idea. He is
spoken of as the "boy orator," and
such a designation probably is a com -j
plete one.
The convention whose work is just
ended was one of the most remarka
ble which ever gathered on Ameri
can soil. Its actions were controlled
by men of mediocre ability, igno
rant of the fundamental principles of
government, and wedded to all man
ner of pernicious doctrine. AltgeM,
the anarchist, Tillman, the agitator,
and Bryan, the demagogue, were
fitting specimens of an ungainly
gang. The ease with which the del
egates allowed themselves to be bam
boozled into voting for a man
simply because he was a smooth
talker shows of what weak stuff they
are made.
Compare a man like Bryan with
McKinley 1 The one a Western
shouter for free silver, inexperienced,
a man of moment, who flickers in the
sunlight and passes in the night; the
other a patriotic soldier, a learned
statesman, who through long years
of labor mastered the principles and
intricacies of statesmanship, and
brings to his present position a mind
well trained and a character well
rounded. Bryan and McKinley!
"What a contrast 1 Shades of Wash
ington, Jefferson and Lincoln, what
is the country coming to? It is bad
enongh that an able, conscientious,
. but mistaken Demociat like Grover
Cleveland should occupy the presi
dential chair; but when an untamed
upstart like Bryan is named as a
fitting successor to the long line of
distinguished presidents, the con
trast is painful.
Let us hope that the Almighty in
his wisdom will put forth his hand
and stay the threatened calamity.
If ever the American people were
:called upon to administer a deserved
rebuke, now is the time. The Dem
ocratic candidates and platform rep
resent principles inimical to the wel
fare of the nation. They should be
taught a lesson next November that
will linger long in memory. Under
an avalanche of votes should Bryan
and his platform be buiied.
Oregon knows how it feels to have
a candidate for the presidency.

state than Pennoyer,but it remains for
him to bring fame to Oregon as the
mother stale of a presidential aspir
ant. PenDoyer's ten votes will
cause no harm, but will make the
Democrats of Oregon feel immensely
tickled.
NORTHWEST NOTES.
Camas Prairie on Monday was visited
by a thunder storm, during which the
ligntning struck a tree, felled John L.
Bislers to the ground, stunning him, and
killed a cow belonging to Bielers.
A 7-year-old girl named Minnie Fisher
was caught in the act of 'burglarizing a
house in Spokane on Monday night, and
after she had been arrested, several
other recent burglaries in that city were
traced home to her. The little girl says
she was forced to commit the crimes by
some man whoee name she will not di
vulge. Robert Estonp, about 26 years of age,
living about five miles northweet of Mil
ton, attempted suicide by hanging, on
Tuesday evening. When discovered, he
was lying, upon the ground, the rope
having broken, otherwise all efforts to
revive him would have been of no avail.
Medical assistance was soon procured
and it was first thsught that he could
not recover. However, on Wednesday
evening, though he was still uncon
scious, hopes were entertained that be
could be brought round.

None Bat Ayer'n at the World's Fair.
Aver's Sareaparilla enjoys the extra
ordinary distinction of having been the
only blood purifier allowed on exhibit at
the world's fair, Chicago. Manufact
urers of other- sarsaparillas sought by
every means to obtain a showing of their
goods, but they were all turned away
under the, application of the rule for
bidding the entry of patent medicines
and nostrums. The decision of. the
world's fair authorities in tavor of Ayer's
Barsaparilla was in effect as follows :
"Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is' not a patent
medicine. It does not belong to the
list of noe trams. It is here on its
merits."
