This being the time of year for the dead leaves to lustle, we are glad to note that those of the Orego nian act on natural principles. The trouble with our big contemporary ,is that it has gotten upon so lofty a pinnacle that it, like the laws of the Tkledes Persians, cannot be read or understood of mortals. Having lived and'matured surrounded by in consistencies of its own creation, it fails to realize that they are incon sistent, but they are the single stand ard by which it measures all things. It prates of inconsistency and virtu ally says, "An inconsistency is a thing inconsistent; but if I create an inconsistency, it is not inconsistent to me, but plain as a pike-staff." Dogberry himself would be shamed into admiration of such wonderful premises and such clear and over whelming CDnclusions. Let us see. The Oregonian says, and quotes from itself to prove it, that in 1890 the free silver plank was inserted in the state platform by A. H. Tanner in order to ail Mitchell, and that few members 'of the conven tion knew it, and those few preferred not raise a disturbance about it. The Oregonian called attention to it, said it was a wrong principle, but sup ported the ticket.' It did the same thing in 1892, and in 1894 the Ore gonian editor admits having assisted in making the state platform, which reaffirmed the national platform of 1892, which platform, it asserts, was, "on any fair interpretation, a gold standard platform." Vasit ? If so, why should it need any interpreta tion, fair or otherwise? If it was, why was it not written in that clear and plain style pervading the Orego- nian's editorial comments, which it -quotes? Why was it not made clear and distinct so that it needed no in terpretation ? The fact is, the plat form, like most recent platforms, was a juggling one, made so that it meant all things to all men. If it was so constructed as to require interpret tation, why had not Senator Mitchell, Congressmen Hermann and Ellis as much right to interpret for them selves as the Oregonian for itself and everybody else? The editor of the Oregonian assisted in making this inconsistent platform,hence,as we have said, it is not inconsisent to him. Again, he supported the tickets in 1890, 1892, 1894 and l896, yet none of them were single-standard plat forms. He asserted the principles wrong, at times, but he submitted to the will of the majority and support ed the tickets. We do not inquire into his motive for doing so, but state the fact. Putting him in the most unfavorable light, did Senator Mitch ell do more than this when he said t he.s stood squarely on the national platform made at St. Louis ? Does Ellis more than this when he asserts that he will stand by that same plat form? Most assuredly not. The .Oregonian arrogates to itself the right to do all the thinking for everybody and hes over-t-ixed its thinker. This is why the dead leaves rustle around the Oregonian office, and this is perhaps why it takes The . Chkoxicle to task for its position. Our big contemporary thinks the Chronicle editor content "to support that which is false against that which is true under leadership congenial to reptile journalism," and this in spite of the fact that we have - never fol lowed the leaders congenial to the Oregonian. The Oregonian devoted a column yesterday ' to -askinr Congressmen Ellis what he would do if Mexico or Bolivia or the South American states would join the United States fn adopting bimetahsm. The Orego nian does not want to be answered by Mr. Ellis, because no answer he could make would satisfy it, and the senile .drivel it is indulging in is simply unanswerable, because sense ess. The . only ansfrer Mr. Ellis could make would be hat "Upon the happening of any of these pending and threatened events, I would do whatever the Oregonian dictated.'" . -.' ." ' Pendleton has the credit of being a real live wide-awake to wn, but just at present it seems to be over looking the fact that it may lose one of its most important industries. Astoria offers $o0,000 and a site for the mils, together with a guaranty of wheat, if he will re build bis mills there instead of in Pendleton. Out neighboring city is great in reaching out for new industries; will she neg lect to hold fast that which . she has ? . Frlg-bt Breaks Them Up. Crayfishes, crabs and lobster ar peculiarly sensitive to loud noises, and it is a fact that a loud and sudden clap of thunder will cause them to ampu tate or drop . their large claws and "pincers. The impulse which seizes them when suddenly alarmed is . to throw off their heavy claws, so that they may1 the quicker scurry off to a place of safety. . Crabs or lobsters can ih ten days or a fortnight grow new claws, as large as the old ones. For several weeks, however, the patient who is growing on a new set of fight ing weapons does not appear among the armed members of his family, be cause,' his claws being soft, he could not "take his own part," and would be eaten by his cannibalbrethren.
