Editorial Comment.
Mr. Hearst has lost none of
lis antipathy to trusts, particular
ly the kind which raises the price
of votes to $9333 each and limits
the output to 150. West Virginia
JCailroad and Mining trusts are
n the ticket-of-leave list till
after November.

It won't do to take too much
"stoek in the alleged "athletic feats
f our nexi Democratic vice pres
ident to be (?). The story that
le run a half mile in 2:10 and
t&sn turned a hand spring, looks
a little bit fishy to us. But it
aiay be thaf we are prejudiced.
The prominent Democratic
papers of the East are putting
out the plea, as one of the basic
articles of their creed, that "even
ri Parker ar.d a Democratic house
should be'electcd ia 1904, neither
Parker nor his party could harm
the currency because a Republi
ean senate will be sure to be in
power for the next four years at
least." This looks like an ad
mission that they are ready and
willing to iuin the country if
they could get the chance. ' It
also brings into prominence the
great all-important lact that the
snly way to make the gold
standard secure is to keep the
Republican party in power until
t'he Democratic party is whipped
into dropping the silver folly
...altogether. And this is just
what is going to happen.
The New York Times is one
t'he londest of the Parker shout
rs in that city. In its issue giv
ing the account of Parker's trip
from Esopus to New York on
April 15, 1904, it states that the
Judge met Belmont and Sheehan,
Sxed up the platform, declared
that "it was desired that the trip
ito-tbe city on the eve of holding
ths- state convention be kept a
-3cretr" and added: "The plat
form which has been approved
and which will be presented to
the convention on Monday, is
understood to be drawn on ultra -
conservative lines, and to avoid
-all reference to the rocks on
which the party split in. the two
4ast national campaigns." ' This
? show that Parker approved this
platform before the convention
saw it The wise heads of the
party: knew that the straddle in
the platform would give -Rocse
v elt a walk-over in the cam-'
paignv So- the sender of the
gold telsgram took especial care
not to send it until after he had
the nomination - securelv in his
hand- This convicts Parker Of
being. a trickster. No man of
that sort has ever been elected
president by the American peo
fle and none ever will be.
'Great Crowds At. Newport..
Excursions to Newport are of
almost daily occurence now. The
travel ;bayward has been grad
ually increasing until, it is diffi
cult to distinguish which are re
..gnlrr passenger trains and which
-jtrejexcursion. Saturday and Sun
day two trains loaded with pleas
nre-seekers wound their way sea
- ward.
There are probably 1200 steady
"dwellers there at the present time,
many come and go away but on
.- .special occasions there are several
thousand there at a time
The highest temperature in the
; past twelve years was 95 degrees,
- ojfcne 7, 1903, and the lowest
- temperature was 12 degrees on
1 Fe6a, 1899. Th average num
' berot tvs each year "with the
temperature above 90" degrees is
only one and the average num
t ber ot days each year with the
-temperature below freezing is
only 32. The first killing frosts
vcome about Christinas and the
last ones occur about March.
which gives a growing period of
. 281 days each without the danger
f harmful frosts The mean
annual precipitation is 72 inches,
, being the heaviest in November,
and the least in July. The num
ber or rainy days is 186. Snow

short .time. The prevailing winds
-axe northwesterly except during

most striking characteristic, next
to the mildness of the winters is
the coolness of the summers,
especially the night temperature
which during the hottest months
average as low as 51 degrees." -

Railroad at Newport.
A novel attraction at New
port beach is a miniature rail
road. It is the invention and
property of Luhrman Bros., of
Salem, who worked it success
fully atSalem duringthe carnival.
The road is now being construct
ed ; it will be three-fourths of a
mile long and will run from New
port to Nye Creek beach. It is
a narrow gauge, rails 3x3 scant
ling strapped with iron, dummy
engine and cars. It is the design
to transport passengers to and fro
between Newport and Nye Creek
and also for i pleasure riding.
Only eight people can be hauled
at a trip. The cars are, green
and red. Luhrman Bros. think
the proposition will pay at New
port as it paid well at Salem. A
restaurant and dancing hall will
be run in connection.
