PSYCHOLOGY OF CONVENTIONS TO MULTNOMAH DEMOCRATS. It is bruited about the state that the Multnomah democrats are considering a proposition from the Simon republicans to form a coalition lor the purpose of defeating the re publican ticket, city and county, there. This object is to be desired the defeat of the republicans of Mult nomah county. But, as to the coali' lion with .Ijseph Simon and his co- . horE, there Is not the slightest doubt that it will be the most disastrous movement that can be entered into by the members of the democracy of that county. It will be to place over tho entire democratic ticket of Ore gon the lioo doo of a man who has just received the most thorough beat ing at, tho hands of his party that over a man was given with the blud geon of .the voter. Joe Simon has been discredited. He has been told by members of his own organization to go something like two million miles back, and, after arriving at his destination, to sit down in a chair Jnto the seat of which a can of glue has been poured. To tie up with Joe Simon, at this time of all times, means to injure the cause of the de mocracy more severely than in any other way that could ge suggested. If the Multnomah county democrats desire to end all chances of success in the present campaign, let them en ter into a political partnership with Joe Simon, and then well may all ef fort cease and the fight be given up. It will take from the strength of George B. Chamberlain, who will be the. democratic nominee for governor, the. major portion, and there will he no ,mpre likllhood that lie will be elected than that he will take a trip to tlie moon upon the hack of a wild cayuso. As the situation stands, Mr. Cham herlain is a strong candidate. Coupl cd with Joe Simon by the act of the Multnomah county democrats, he will be lu no hope of success. Joe blmon is at this juncture a goou man to have upon the other Bide. He is one with whom no one can afford to bo associated politically. It would be an interesting study for tho savant who understands the laws of humen mentalities, if he were to take the political convention as a subject for his investigations. He would see a gathering of rational men going wild over the struggle for places on electoral tickets. He would see men, otherwise conservative and staid, yell themselves hoarse over the fortunes of men whom they never saw, and in whom personally they have no Interest. He would sec emotions aroused such as would be intense enough for tragedies of most marvelous Import. For the moment this mental analyst would observe all that is excitable stirred in the na ture of every person in the cenven tlon hall, and then lie Would have as his task to assign a reason for all these tilings. His task would be of sufficient magnitude to keep him busily at work until the end of time, when political conventions no more will be held.nnd there will he no more contentions between republicans and democrats. TWO REFORMS. The initiative and referendum, or direct legislation, has already secured a firm footing in several parts of the country. In Chicago, for instance, it was utilized to submit to the people questions as to public ownership of public utilities, and elsewhere Issues have been sent to the voters to be decided directly, without the Inter vention of legislatures or common councils. In many states, notably Oregon, the primary, election reform has been introduced, and wherever It has been given a fair trial, the citi zens demand its retention. These two reforms will do much to correct cer tain defects that have been apparent to all observing persons in connec tion with the development of repre sentative government in this country. One defect is the difficulty of com pelling enactment of desirable laws by legislatures, and the prevention of me passage or oojecuonaule meas ures. The other defect is that It is sometimes impossible to secure accu rate registration of the neonles' wishes as to candidates. That direct legislation corrects the former dofect and rational primary laws tho latter, is coming to be the belief of the best thought of the nation. COMMENT OF THE DAY. LAND LEASING DEAD. Every political convention that has met tills year has resolved against the measure proposing to lease the public range lands. And every one yet to be held will do the same. There Is about as much chance for the land leasing bill to secure support In Oregon as there Is for the Devil to secure admission to heaven. Land leasing is doomed, so far as concerns' the people of this part of the world. The impression is general that the proposed law Is in tho Interest of such concerns as the Carr Livestock Company, over the affairs of which in So far as the investigation in the alleged bribery cases in the purchase of the Danist West India Islands has progressed, it appears to be one of those periodical bubbles which come to surface in public life,, only to burst without injury to anyone. No one de nies the fact that a Job might have been put up. Such tilings are always possible. But it does not vnr nnnnni- mat sucu was the case. Captain Von Christmas has grasped at some imag- u ury airaw. ne has had a mental iiiKiumare, nerhans. wlilfh is ntm.. gling to blossom Into a reality. We know that this Is a money.Kettlne age. That men in public positions have vast temptations thrust imnii them. We know that the American congressmen are human of the earth earthy, and smell strong of worldly mould but wo decline to ac cuse i'liem wholesalo on the evidence of one foreign captain of doubtful oc- We decline to point the accusing desire for useful information. The vast mlnlnsr. stockraislng. agricui tural and manufacturing Interests of these growing Btates. are before the public in cold type, bearing an oiu clal stamp. If a company of men de sire to engage In some Industry In one of these ndjacont states they linvo .i rnmnrphenslve renort Of a commissioner, full of useful facts in regard to their business. Of the re sources for such business are at hand these reports give their extent and location, number of persons engaged In it, wages paid, cost of operation, transportation facilities and charges, market value of product and all the vital facts covering the ground. Is not this beneficial to a state? Is it not in keeping with the material pro gress we are making? The expanding industries of Ore gon lay us under obligation to record their growth, to classify them, keep them before the public In a truthful light and to so arrange facts and fig' ures uertainlng to them, that a glance will enlighten the homeseeker, Railroads, mines, farms, mills, fac tories all employ capital and labor and are the .arteries through which the life blood of the state surges. Who knows anything of their true condition ' in Oregon. How many farmers in Oregon know how many farms there are in Oregon, what prevail upon those farms, the num ber of persons employed thereon, the prices of product in different sec tions, of the amount of farm mort gages, number of live stock, or any other useful information pertaining to the business. All these facts are in the merciful keeping of the real estate agents. Thirty-one states in the Union have a Bureau of Statistics. Massachus etts was the first to create such a bureau, in 1809, and Louisiana the last, in 1030. Every state west of the Rocky mountains, except Oregon, has such a bureau. We are not second in any other manner, shall we stand sec ond in this? Recurring cases of bubonic plague on American soil remind us that we may have it as an epidemic at any time. It is an eccentric pestilence. While confined to the far east in a general sense, its most savage at tack upon mankind was made in the city of London in 16C3. In less than one year, 100,000 peonle fell before its ravages. It spread through all of Europe, more especially to the thick ly populated cities of Russia, France and England. As late as the vpnr iuv, it Killed one-half the population of Marseilles. Since that fatofnl visit it has confined itself to the far east. China has never been iYpp lom it. It has been In Egypt as lone as tne Mile has been there. The Ma lay archipelago has fought , it durinc uii no iiicorueti nisiory. Japan is a nursery for it. India, Burmah and on the other side of the globe. Greece and Syria have contended with it for centuries. It is impossible to sav how many victims it has had In th Chinese empire. The crowded cities of that country encourage it and nurse It. The Chinaman lives in Its presence. It is a shadow upon the threshold constantly, it follows him to other climes. Where no other people show symptoms of It, in Hono lulu, the Chinese coolie is felled by it. Where every nationality mingles together in San Francisco, the China man comes down with the plague. And this state of affairs will spread with the presence of the Chinamanfi. Its introduction into Europe was due to the commerce carried on between China a i. J India am! t!-e Em-open countries.

Ploasant Park, Clinton, la., writes: " have found that Peruna Is a wonderful medicine to use in dhmaaes peculiar to women. It quickly and permanently restores health and vigor I and acta as a natural tonic to a worn-out system. I have so far never obwarre4 a case which was not greatly aided by Its use."-REV. DR. tl. R.
