PB0QBES8 AND WEALTH.
Orators of the Populist and Demo
cratic parties never tire of telling the
people of the accumulation of wealth
.' by the few in this era of the republic,
and in their sophistical manner tbej
lay the blame to the Republican party
and the policy it has pursued. Then,
," appealing to the prejudices of the peo-
pie, they picture in - golden colors the
happy days of our grandfathers when
money was more equally distributed,
and he who possessed a few hundred
dollars was considered rich. Such
speeches feed the jealousies of the toil
ing masses, create a spirit of unrest,
and plant the seeds of anarchy in the
mind a ot the unfortunate classes. Thry
give license to Herr Most and his fol
lowers to preach the gospel of hate,
which finds expression in murder and
arson. 'While the leaders of two
prominent political organizations, in
their speeches, tacitly endorse com
munism and nihilism, it is not strange
that such disgraceful riots as those at
Homestead and in the Cceur d'AIene
mountains occur in the freest govern
ment upon which the sun eyer shone.
With the refuse of Europe thrown
upon our shores, and an ignorant,
. vicious' native element in our cities,
we cannot place too strict a guard
. upon everything that may arouse them
into action. Politicians, however much
'; they may seek office, should have suffi
cient respect for themselves and the
- permanency of free institutions, not to
pander to the lowest element to get
into power. .
; But these inflammatory harangues
are wrong, because they are untrue,
and the object to be attained is very
despicable. It is much easier to con
trol a man through his prejudice and
jealousy than by means of his judg-
; ment, because this requires an exercise
.' of ' the intellectual faculties, and the
former appeals to the brutal icstiocte
: in every man, which are naturally act
ive and alert. These speakers know
that they can move the masses quicker
by inflaming ' their hatred than by
stating facts, and therefore choose the
easier and more available method. .
When the republic was in its in
fancy, there was little wealth, and
fewer poor men and fewer rich men
than there are now. Even after the
late civil war this war was a fact,
, . because the heavy strain- of a four
years' war had crippled the industries
, of. the nation, and there ' were few
. avenues through which men could ao
. quire riches. It is the same in any
new country before the natural re
, sources are developed, and before there
are opportunity for the acquisition of
capital. , This is substantiated by
' the history . of the ancient and
the modern world, of Europe and
": America. But, as a country be
comes prosperous, wealth is attracted
to certain centers, and, generally
speaking, is controlled by particular
individuals. London represents the
wealth of Great Britain, New York
of the eastern and middle states, Chi
cago of the northern Mississippi val
ley, San Francisco of the southern Pa
' cifio coast and Portland of the north
west. The greater accumulations by
the individual, the greater deposits at
the centers of trade, and the greater
the deposits at the trade centers the
. larger the sums of money under the
control and for the benefit of the few.
By such means the banks of London,
through the ramifications of business,
hold the purse strings of the empire.
The same is true of New York, Chi-
oago. San Francisco and Portland. If
the farmer receives a higher price for
his produce, the merchant for his
goods or the laborer for his work, the
, greater the influx into the receiving
reservoirs of money and the larger the
capital subject to the manipulation of
the few. These statements are as true
as that rills feed creeks, creeks rivers,
and rivers flow to the ocean; and to
contradict them is either to display our
ignorance or falsity. There was less
money at the time of the revolution
and after the recent rebellion, because
there was less productiveness in the
country; there was less banks because
there was less money, and because
there was less money and less banks
there was less accumulation of wealth
in the hands of individuals.
But, notwithstanding the fact that
there are wealthier persons now than
formerly, we prefer the present be
cause wages have appreciated and the
purchasing power of the poor man's
dollar is much greater.'
would be discovered on the right side
of the vital issue of this campaign.
A pertinent illustration of this spirit
that is now animating our school and
college boys is at hand in a letter from
a student in one of New England's
largest and oldest schools to a relative
in Chicago. The boy is the president
of the school's Republican club. Here
is a breezy and amusing extract from
bis letter, savs the Chicago Inter
Ocean:
I am campaigning (or Harrison on a largo
scale, and the school takes great interest in
the campaign. - Our processions are a great
ancceas. and tha elnh his been invited to a
good many towns. We have accepted
three, bnt will not be able to go to more
than that. Oar, uniforms look well, the
fellows march and drill well, and the drum
cores is lame and well trained. There was
a lares rallr here the other nicht, and 1
at on the platform .with numerons state
celebrities, bnt they neglected to ask me to
address the crowd. There were 3,000 peo.
pie assembled, and I would more than have
spoken if I'd been asked. The Vice Presi
dent and 1 rms behind tha drum corps in a
hack, and keep an eye open for eggs, eto
from the Democratic students who can't
get enough support to start a club. The
town bas expended nearly $500 on our clob
and it discounts the other organizations that
march in the processions.
If the above looks as if Cleveland
were any great shakes with our school
boys then prophets had better go out
of business.
BEWARE.
The campaign is nearing the end,
and, in their desperate attempt to pro
mote the success of their candidate
for president, Democrats may try a
scheme similar to the Morley letter
fraud on the eve of the Garfield elec
tion. For this reason the people
should be on the alert'for "startling
announcements" from the Bourbon
Dress, and which will be dictated at
' m
headquarters in New York city. Tam
many never possessed a conscience,
and its only idea of right and wrong
is that which will and which will not
ensure the election of Mr. Cleveland,
The history of the corrupt ring is well
known to every American citizen, and
everything there is in politics to day
that is unfair and corrupt has eman
ated from Tammany. Caucus rule
and bossism are plants that have been
nursed into life in its bosom, and it
has warmed into existauce other de
testable political methods. The order
sent to the chairman of the Oregon
Democratic committee to withdraw
the electors, and order the rank and
file to vote the Weaver ticket, is in
disputable evidence that it considers
the election of Cleveland impossible by
fair means. This has not been suc
cessful, and resort will be had to other
methods to accomplish the end. Re
publicans should be on guard, for at
the last moment that hotbed of cor
ruption and dishonesty in politics in
New York city may hatch oat some
fraud to deceive the 1 people. With
the members of that ring, drilled in
the most . unscrupulous methods, the
end justifies the means, and the great
object to be attained is to allure the
unwary into voting their ticket. Those
who desire to cast an honest, intelli
gent ballot cannot be too careful in
their investigation of matters. It is a
sovereign privilege of free-men, and
should only be exercised in the man
ner that will subserve the best inter
ests of republican institutions.
There is conclusive evidence of des
pair in the . Democratic national
committee desiring the withdrawal of
the Cleveland electors on the eve of
election, so that the vote of Oregon
may be given to Weaver. If they had
the least hope of succeeding next
Tuesday they would not be guilty of
such an act, which will be a lasting
disgrace to the party. It is very evi
dent that they have carefully exam
ined the chances of Mr. Cleveland's
electipn, and have come to the conclu
sion that this can oniy be accomplished
by throwing the contest in the housa
At the eleventh hour they have ascer
tained this fact, and have telegraphed
to the state central committee to re
quest the withdrawal of the Demo
cratic electors. This will not be done,
and the only effect of the maneuver
will be to show the weakness of the
Democrrtio cause and to instill cour
age into the hearts of Republicans.
Tammany has managed affairs not very
successfully, ' and the prospects have
never been as bright as now for the
election of President Harrison and for
Oregou to send her usual greetings to
the Republicans of the Atlantic sea
board with 10,000 majority for Har
rison, progress and protection.
BANKING ON PREJUDICE.
There bas never been a country or
community in which there have not
been discontented classes, who imagine
a change would be beneficial to them,
and if this craving were satis6ed forms
of government and policies of admin'
istration would not have the least sta
bility. This same feeling of unrest
pervades every phase of human so
ciety, and prevails in churches as well
as in politics. That these disciples of
unrest do not constitute e, majority of
any people is an evidence that the
world is not going backward but pro
gressing forward, and that they exist
in the United States is no evidence
that free institutions are a failure. In
a place where shiftless men will gravi
tate to the gutter, and thrifty, indus
trious people better their condition,
there will be discontent, and these dis
Unctions will always exist, for gravi
tation is a natural result of shiftless-
ness and elevation of industry and
economy. The world has existed for
nearly four thousand years and these
conditions have remained the same,
and it is reasonable to suppose they
always will continue.
During the past four years the
greatest prosperity known to any coun
try has been enjoyed by our people;
but still the spirit of unrest is abroad
in the land, and the fact is made ap
parent by Democrat and Populist at
tempting to make political capital of
the prejudice of this class. They do
not attempt to produce any argument
to prove that the country is retrograd
ing; but at every opportunity they
take up the senseless howl of the dis
contents, and preach plutocracy and
combination of capitalists. And they
do this in the very face of facts and
figures, which are the results of care
ful investigations of men who have ex
amined the amount of wages paid and
the condition of laborers generally.
These figures prove that the price of
commodities are less than they were,
and wages higher. But the Demo
crats have no affiliation with such cold,
impassioned truths as are based upon
mathematical calculation. It is enough
for them to know that there are citi
zens of this country poorer than oth
ers, and if they can arouse their jeal
ousy by exaggerating their condition
they may secure their votes. This is
the alpha and omega of the campaign,
according to their, view, and they will
not miss an opportunity to accomplish
this object. It ie the same plan that
the ' anarchist and communist follow,
and he only difference between these
and those who adopted the Chicago
platform is that the dynamiters and
bomb-throwers are honest and believe
in a practical solution, while Demo
crats are dishonest and aim to work
these prejudices for partisan ends. If
Mr. Cleveland js elected they know
there will be no change in the status
of labor and capital, and the anar
chist believes if he can kill a few plu
tocrats he will work a general reform
ation.
After November 8th, whoever is
elected president, we shall hear no
more from Democratic orators of the
burdens suffered by the people until
1896, when it will again become prom
inent in their speeches. This has been
the plan adopted by Democrats in
every campaign for the past thirty
years. When they are out of power
they feel the popular pulse, and follow
the indications. They pull down
where they cannot build up, and ad
vocate the unsafe theories of wild fa
natics to pave their way to the public
purse. ' '
tion is now whether Mr. Harrison
shall be elected by the people or Mr.
Cleveland by the house.
The RepulIictn meeting in Portland
last night was the largest gatheriug
ever witnessed in that city. There
were fully 8,000 in .the procession,
and the many transparencies displayed
were illustrative of the principles of
the party of progress and protection.
It is very encouraging that, as the
campaign nears its end, Republicans
are more confident of success than at
the beginning.
It now lies with three men in Ore
gon to determine whether there shall
be a Democratic ticket in this state in
1892 or not. This ruaj appear all
right to young Democrats, who have
only cast a few 'votes; but to those
who voted with the party when the
"left wing of Price's army" dominated
the politics of Oregon, it will he the
"desolation of desolations spoken of by
the prophets:"
Governor Pennoyer was simply an
ticipating future emergencies when he
made his Populist speech early in the
campaign, and he is no in harmony
with the party managers at Tammany
headquarters. This prescience on his
part is undoubtedly the mark of great
genius, and Democrats, instead of
roundly abusing him, should elevate
him to the highest pinnacle and con
sider him the oracle of the party in
the northwest.
It must be noted by all those who
have paid the least attention to poli
tics during this campaign that asper
sions on the character cf either candi
date have been very wisely ignored,
and this is in marked contrast to the
canvass of four years ago. This has
truly beena campaign devoted to edu
cating the people in the diverse poli
cies of government advocated by the
different parties, and the ballot cast
next Tuesday should be the result of
intellectual discrimination.
If no other argument had b(een pro
duced than the order to withdraw the
Democratic electors in this state to
give the Populist candidate four votes,
it would be conclusive evidence that
the party guilty of such duplicity is
devoid of principle. - The patriotism
of the people is sufficiently strong not
to support an organization that has no
other object to be attained than the
spoils of office, and on the 8th of Nov
ember President Harrison will receive
the largest majority of any president
elected for years.
With all the bowls made by Demo
cratic speakers about the despotic (?)
force bill, they have never, in a single
instance, read any of its provisions to
substantiate their charges. The reason
is that there is not a single sentence in
the entire measure that would not be
endorsed by every honest, patriotic
American. Its only aim is to insure
a free and fair ballot in every state of
the union, and the Democratic party
does not desire this. If it was a law
the solid south would - be broken, and
this would be disastrous to Democracy.
Republicans should have no hesi
tancy in supporting their national
ticket this year, as the country de
mands legislation in many important
matters, and which will not be enacted
if either the Democrats or Populists
are given the control of national affairs.
The industries of the nation , will be
crippled if free trade is inaugurated,
and Democrats are pledged to this in
their platform, and the safe financial
system is in jeopardy from the Popu
lists. Already our friends, the enemy,
are disintegrating, and every Republi
can should do his full duty next Tuesday.

Attempted Harder and Robbery.
Astoria, Or., Nov. I. A dastardly at
tempt at murder and robbery was made in
this city at I o'clock this morning. The sub
ject of the outrage was Mr. K. Larson, pro
prietor of Foster's Exchange saloon, which is
situated near the Union Pacific wharf. At
the hour named Mr. Larson was engaged in
counting the money in the cash drawer, be
hind the bar, when two masked men entered
through the front door, and, approaching the
counter, both drew revolvers, while one de
manded Mr. Larson to deliver the contents of
the till, threatening at the same time to kill
him should he refuse. lie refused, and one
of the men went behind the counter, the other
one and a third confederate, who had come
in, covering him with their revolvers. The
man behind the counter endeavored to reach
the safe and a scuffle ensued, in which Lar
son was horribly cut on the face and neck
and then knocked senseless by a blow from a
revolver. The robbers then secured $30 in
cash and fled. Lai son recovered conscious
ness soon and reported the affair to the police,
but no trace of the men could be found. The
flooi back oQhe bar was flooded with blood
from LarsonT wounds, and presented a sick
ening appearance. Larson's condition is
critical to-night, but the attending physician
thinks there is a chance for recovery. A
young man named Harry Root is now under
arrest on suspicion of having been one of the
perpetrators of the crime. He bears a bad
reputation. He has not been recognized by
Larson as yet, and no reporters are allowed
near him. Other suspects are being closely
watched.

Mob Law In Madrid.
Madrid, Nov, 1. A crowd of several
thousand persons were assembled on the trade
promenade to-night in expectation of hearing
an open-air concert which had been adver
tised to begin early in the evening. Eleven
o'clock arrived and still no signs of the con
cert. The people, already irritated at the
shortcomings of the municipal Columbian
festivities, became exasperated and began des
troying the platform, seats and other struct
ures, which they soon reduced to splinters.
They then proceeded in a riotous manner
along the Calle Alcala and the Puerto del Sol,
destroying everything they could lay their
hands on, and finally directed their attention
to the more central part of the city, smashing
all the lamps in their way, and shattering the
windows in -the public buildings, shouting all
the while, "Down with the Canovan!" "Down
with the mayor!" etc. The mob then made a
noisy demonstration in front of the mayor's
house and dispersed.
The Nation's Sympathy.
Washington, Nov. 2 The president
to day requested the publication of the
following:
"Tbu expressions of sympathy with me
and my family in oar great sorrow irom

conventions, from public meetings, from
political clubs and committees of all

A. Vancouver Sensation.
Vancouver, Wash., Nov. 8 The fun
eral of Mrs. E. F. White, of this city,
took place this afternoon at 2 P. u.
There is considerable extiu-inent about
her sudden death. Mrs. White died
about noon yesterday, under circum
stances which rendered tbt holding of ao
inquest a necessity. Rumors had been
started which caused Dr. J. R. Smith,
the coroner, to ca'l at the house imme
diately after Mrs. White's death. He ex
amined the body aud found indications
which he considered pointed to a criminal
operation. He at once consulted George
W. Stapleton, who acts as proaecuting
attorney, as to the advisability of holding
an autopsy, and it was concluded to sum
mon a coroner's jury. Drs Hixon and
H. Wall were called to his assistance.
The inquest was held late last night and
testimony was takea bearing upon the
Case, the witnesses being mostly relatives
of the deceased, her husband, and Mrs.
Dr. Steiner. After the testimony of these
witnesses was all in, the physicians pres
ent made a careful examination of the
body and reported to the jury that they
found indications of an instrument hav
ing been used, and gave it as their opin
ion that an operation bad been committed
and death caused thereby. The jury re
turned a verdict accordingly. The cor
oner immediately filed the verdict with a
justice of the peace, and swore out a
complaint against Dr. John Steiner, the
deceased's attending pbysiciun, charging
bim with feticide under the statue. Dur
ing the afternoon Dr. Steiner had been
requested to be present at the inquest,
and bad promised to do so, instead of
wbicb be departed for Portland. A war
rant having been sworn out against him
immediately atter the inquest, the sheriff
went over to Portland by the late train,
but failed to find bis man. Mrs. Steiner
left here this morning. ,
- The Strike at New Orleans.
New ORLEANS, Nov. I. The greatest
strike that has ever taken place in New Or
leans will begin to-morrow morning. The
teamsters, leaders and warehousemen who
struck on Monday of last week to enfore a
demand that the merchants sign the tariff
which they presented to them, and that they
recognize the union, have failed to accomplish
their object. The merchants and the boss
draymen have been willing to sign the tariff
01 wages ana working hours from the first,
but have steadily refused to recognize the
union, and there seems to be no prospect that
they will yield the point. All the local labor
organizations are members of the Amalgama
ted Council of Workingmen and of the Amer
ican Federation oi Labor, and the general
strike is ordered by the council.
Seven Indiana Cremated. '
Spokane, Nov. 2. Wild Goose Bill,
who has just arrived in the city from the
Okanogan country, brings news ot the
burning ot seven Indians near Alma,
Monday night. They bad come across
from the reservation and got drunk and
the marshal drove them back. They
went to an abandoned cabin and held
orgies until 2 o'clock in the morning.
About that Hour settlers observed a
bright light, and an investigation showed
the cabin bad caught fire and burned.
The Indians, who were in a drunken
stupor, were all burned to death, only
their charted bodies remaining.
The Tomasehie Trouble.
City of Mexico, Nov. 3 President
Diaz says the trouble at Tomasehie was
not of taxes. The Indians a year ago
refused to recognize any authority except
that of the so called Su Colera. General
Rancel two months ago was sent with a
small force to compel obedience, but the
fanatical Indians, relying on the aid of
their saint, fought desperately and de
feated Rancel. Then the government
sent 600 soldiers against tbeTomascbians,
who had fewer than 100 fighting men.
In the fight that ensued the Indians lost
47 men, and the government lost more
than 100 men killed and wounded. The
affair was merely local and purely relig
ious, and is now comp'etely ended. The
Indians had modern arms from the
United States.

NOT A CLEVELAND TEAR.
This is not a Cleveland year in the
. schools and colleges. Cleveland may
seem the savior of his country to a few
gentle doctrinaires who are getting
their political econamy out of text
books, and fondly imagine their corn
' mon-sense pupils will vote their teach
inqs in daily life; but the mass of the
boys have , taken in the McKinley
ozone, and no amount of Democratic
national committee circulars, signed by
misguided professors, will turn tbe
youngsters' heads from the gospel of
the day that protection is the winning
issue. So Yale has a tremendous Re
publican marching club a thousand
strong; Harvard and Princeton are
lining np in good shape; Yassar girls
have organized a club; a Williams
census shows Garfield's alma mater
has forgotten the free-trade entreaties
of Professor Perry; while as for Am
herst, its 275 Republican students
have assured its 67 Democratic stu
dents, and more especially its 18
Cleveland professors, that Amherst
shall not be misrepresented before the
world and that the old college is Re
publican, to the core, and that they are
the men to keep her so. So it's a safe
Republican prediction that if tbe col
leges were to vote election day they
The letter of acceptance of Adlai
E. Stevonson appears in the dispatches
to-day, and is replete with the anar
chistic cry of "drawing tribute from
the many for the benefit of the few,'
and a tirade against the so-called force
bill. Herr Most uses stronger lan
guage than Mr. Stevenson in regard
to the unequal distribution of wealth;
but tbe plaint of both is the same. ' It
was expected that he would oppose
any method by which a free and
fair election could be had in the
south, and to do this he paints this
measure for the free exercise of the
elective franchise by every citizen in
Democratic colors with a Democratic
brush. Stevenson is a Democrat, and
1 .!. m . .
uas oeen one tor tnircy years, xnat is
all his speech signifies.
Since the war the inauguration of
manufacturing industries in the south
has tended largely to develop the
natural resources of that region, and
in consequence the people are not such
pronounced free-traders aa when cot
ton was the principal product. This
nas somewnat endangered tbe su
premacy of the Democratic party, and
to keep the southern people still in
the ranks northern dough-faced Dem
ocracy bas injected into its campaign
a senseless tirade against tbe so-called
force bill, which is only calculated to
arouse the prejudices of the citizens.
The unvarnished fact is, the measure
was intended to insure fair elections
in all portions of the country, and
would not have interfered with the
constitutional rights of any citizens.
Furthermore, for fear it would be con
strued an a menace to the personal
liberty of some electors, it was de
feated by the votes of weak-kneed
Republicans in the senate, and, there
fore can in no wise be considered an
issue before the public. But it is nec
essary to "pervert the intent of this

Thousands of Men are Out.
. New Yobe, Nov.' 1. The gigantic
strike threatened for the past week of all
the building trades in sympathy with
the striking electriowira men assumed
shape this morning, and before tbe sun
goes down to day thousands of working
men will be idle. Tbe proffered aid of
tbe walking delegates of tbe building
trades united bas been accepted by tbe
Electric-Wire Men's Union and a general
sympathy strike was ordered this morn
ing. . John xates, secretary or tbe execu
tive committee of tbe Electric Wire
Men's Union, said be believed that by 8
o'clock this afternoon fully 7000 . men
would be out in consequence of this last
move. At noon it is impossible to esti
mate tbe number of men on a strike in
tbe building trades, and nothing can be
learned definitely until tbe walking dele
crates report this afternoon at the strikers'
headquarters.' It is believed that by to
morrow work in tbe various departments
ot the building trades in this city will be
at a standstill. : ; .
A Hanlu Murderer.
LONDON, JNov I. A homble tragedy is
reported as having occurred at Balhnadrum,
in County Heath, Ireland.' A constable
named Pitkington, seized with homicidal
frenzy, went dashing about killing every per
son he could reach. He murdered Sergeant
Kogan, then slew Kogan's wife and two chil
dren in a most brutal manner. Pitkington
also tried to kill several other children, but
only succeeded in hurting them. The mad
man then turned with deadly violence against
nimsell and committed suicide.
. Nnvaja CprlalnK-
ALBUQUERQ0E, N. Nov. 1. A- re
port reached the city to-night, from an
authority considered reliable, that a very
serious outbreak is threatened among the
Navajos. Black Horse, tbe well-known
chief, who controls a large number of the
young bucks in tbe tribe and bas always
sought an opportunity to create disturb
ance, is said to bare put himself at tbe
bead of his faction. They are occupying
tbe Carrezmo mountains, and tbey have
sworn war and extermination upon any
persons attempting to enter the moun
tains. If tbe trouble is precipitated it
will bring the peaceful and warlike ele
ments ot tbe Navajo tribe into a bloody
conflict No details can be ascertained
at this late hour, but it is certain that all
tbe cavalry stationed at Fort Wingate
left at an early hour this morning on a
forced march tor Camp Defiance.
Trouble of a serious nature is manifestly
anticipated.
Kevlew t la Hleeoarl, Trades
Jepfebbon City, Mo., Nov. 3 8tate
Labor Commissioner Hall authorizes the
following quotation from bis forthcoming
report:
"Increase in wages since 1890 bas been
very general, with one exceptional de
crease, no change having occurred in the
past, two years, except in the case of tbe
caoinet-makers, who obtained a reduction
in hours without change of wages. Var
ious building trades secured similar re
ductions some two years ago and other
trades have, by means of strong labor
unions, secured an advance in wages dur
ing tha last 12 years amounting from 8
to 20 per cent. The cooper trade sbows
a greater loss, not so much in rates paid
as in loss of time through tbe introduc
tion of machinery, and tbe horse collar
makers follow in tbe same manner, and
in some cases voluntarily reduced to pre
vent, tbe inroads of machinery. De
creased earnings in their trade amounted
to 124 per cent during the decade. Tbe
sharpest advance was made in tbe wages
of 1 unskilled or ordinary labor. The
wages of workingmen, especially In the
lines ot protected industries, have not
been advanced in tbe past three years."

discovered to-day tbat a serious error bad
been made in printing tbe Democratic
electoral tickets in Ibis state, which will
result in their being thrown out unlets
corrected. The tickets have been in tbe

from are a sixteenth of an inch too long.
Some are too small and some too large.
Tbe law says tbey most be 5ii inches.

Attorney-General Miller has an
nounced his adherence to the custom
of the past that is, federal supervis
ion of elections and this is according
to the decision of tbe supreme court,
as rendered by Judge Bradley. The
chairman of the Ne Tork state
Democratic committee has ordered
otherwise, and ekes a decision of Judge
Brewer of the supreme court. If the
Democrats, on November 8th, adhere
to instructions there will undoubtedly
be a clash, and there can be no doubt
in the minds of the people which will
be supreme, the government or the
state. Democracy has not forgot
ten its old ante-bellum doctrine of
state's rights; but the nation is pow
erful enough to enforce its aathority. 1

informed of tbe tragic end of W. E. Giles
and family, who perished off tbe coast at

. A Possible Clash.
New Yobk, Nov. 2 Within the 24
hours last passed birth has been given to
elements which may come together in
this ctty election day with a sharp clash.
One of tbe elements is tbe announced
adherence by Attorney-General Miller to
the custom of the past, under Judge
Bradley's decision, in accordance with
which federal supervisors of election are
passed anywhere tbey deem wise within
election enclosures. . Tbe other and op
posing element lies in tbe fact tbat Lieutenant-Governor
. Sheeban, chairman of
the New York state Democratic cam
paign committee bas irsued an address
to tbe Democrats of tbe state, in wbich
be cites Judge Brewer's decision, and
calls on Democrats to see to it tbat fed
eral supervisors do not enter tbe booths.
Judge Brewer-, of the United States su
preme court, bas ruled tbe supervisors
had no right to enter the booths or go
behind tbe enclosure where the ballot
boxe3 are.

Harrison is elected. Official life is un

London, Nov. i. Sir William Meroon
Harcourt, chancellor of the exchequer, is op

The matter bas been debated by the cabinet
in view of the intervention of the Washington
government in behalf of,. Irish-American
prisoners. A majority ot members of the
cabinet support Harcourt. It is pretty cer
tain, however, an appeal from Washington
will cause a relaxation in the discipline to
which the prisoners are subjected.

ner last night at tbe home of ber grand

in a room alone reading, wben in some
manner ber clothes caught fire from an
open . grate, and in an instant sbe was
enveloped in flames Tbe flames entered
ber lungs and stifled ber cries, and sbe
soon died. Her body was burned to a

Washington, Nov. 8. A reply to tbe
English counter case in the Bebring sea
negotiations is approaching completion
at tbe state department, and will socn be
ready for tbe United States counsel to
lay before tbe arbitrators. Tbe work of
preparing tbe reply bas been going on
for some weeks at tbe state department
nnJer the direct charge of Secretary John
W. Fottei. Tbe lawyers and clerks who
are engaged in the work have been shut
np in a large room, and no one from tbe
outer world bas been allowed to enter the
room. Ex Minister Pbelpe and Justice
Harlan have not personally been at the
state department during tbe preparation
ot tbe case in wbicb tbey are counsel.
but tbey have been in correspondence
with tbeir younger representatives, and
eyery point made bas been carefully gone
over by Secretary Foster. Tbe purpose
ol the officials is to weigh carefully every
point made on behalf of tbe United
States, so as to put it in tbe clearest lan
guage, and study its relations with every
other point, in order to avoid a conflict
or compromising admissions. The case
of tbe United States will be as exactly
logical and as forcible as tbe combined
skill ot several able lawyers can make it.
Representatives of the United States be
fore tbe mgb court of arbitration will
leave this country in a few weeks for
Paris, where the court will sit. Tbe
original case of the United State and tbe
British counter case are already in print,
and have been submitted to counsel on
both sides. It is not intended, however,
to make any of the arguments public un
til tbe award is made and accepted by
tbe two countries. The entire case wil)
then probably 4e sent to congress by tha
president, and printed in tbe English
blue books.
The Limit to What. -
Were the denizens of Tbe Dalles being
summoned into the ark to prepare for a
second deluge, or bad angel Gabriel de
cided to blow his last trump, aud was be
magnanimously giving the good people a
days' warning to prepare their white robes?
At any rate the dates were sufficiently
definite, and we were all solemnly impressed
with tbe premonition that if we bad anv
thought at all of being considered "in it
we must make a move'before Nov. 30tb.
Inquiry, however, cave assurance that all
forebodings ot ill wera out of place, for the
nooa tbat waa coming was not one to be
avoided, but was one to be sought. Tbe
Oregonian Edcyclopedia Britannica force
had struck tbe towu and took this method
of informing tbe people that for 27 days
only would orders be taken for free Ency
clopedias, '
We understand tbat the great demand
for these books tbrouebout the state has
compelled tbe -publishers to fix this limit
for tbe receipt of subscriptions in order to
serve all portions of tbe state witbont par
tialty. While there will undoubtedly be
many who, because of tbeir absence from
home at this time, or their remoteness from
the city will be nnable to have their orders
registered in time, vet u there must be a
limit, tbe one chosen is the fairest that
could be made, for even those living farthest
rom tbe city will probably have occasion to
come to town at least once b.fore Nov, 30 or
if not, they can with little inconvenience to
themselves manage to come, in view of the
present opportunity.
We congratulate tbe people of this sec
tion npon tbeir present opportunity to pro
vide their homes with the best of libraries
free of cost, and commend the liberality
ana enterprise ot tbe merebaots ot onr city
who nave mane possible this generous offer.
