In answer to the hackneyed question "Is marriage a failure":" Col. Pat Donan, fbitor of the Utahnian, &ays: 'No, a thousand times no." No sane and decent tor woman can ask r the question seriously, "God Almighty establisned it, and decreed that it should endure and be blessed until the end of time. It can aot be a failure unless God and nature fail. There will be, must be, oc- -" casional failures in everything earthly and human. There are failures in the plan . of salvation, but these excep- ' tional cases only prove the truth of the great rule of.succcess. "Without marriage the human race would disappear from the earth. . It American politicians, and cane-suck- ing dudes of the Four Hundred breed are fair specimens of the race, its dis- ' appearance would be no great loss", Butj heaven be blessed, they are . sot worthy samples. There are editors, girls, whose perpetuation is to be da sired, and marriage is the only legiti mate perpetuator. ; : , , ' "More than; this, without marriage, there would be, and could be, no such things ashome and family. All . the - tender memories that cluster around the home and fireside would vanish forever. " All the sweet and sacred ties and associations of husband and wife, father and mother, son and daughter brother arid slater would be wiped out. Society would lapse Into barbarism and savagery. Civilization would end, "For six thousand years, all toe noblest and holiest and tenderest re lations of the . family, the home, the church and the nation have been based upon, or have sprung from, God-instituted and love-consecrated marriage. Jehovah himself, in the amaranthine bowers of a sinless Eden, performed the first marriage ; ceremony, and etitobed of paradisian foliage tbe first wedding-robe. He blessed- it then, as the most solemn and sacred of all earthly rites and: anions, .wnatheln itituted, and blessed, and pronounced perpetual as time and humanity, can never fall. 7 ARTHUR SEWELL. The nominee of the democratic party for rice president, is a native of Maine, harm boon born In Bath, sixty years ago and following in the foot-steps of bis ancestors, be has devoted most of his energies to perpetuating a firm which for many years-has been, and is now, owner of some of the largest sea going vessels that sail under the American flag, though he is largely In terested in a number of railroad and banking Institutions. Although he has been a life-long democrat and has been an active worker in the interests of the party in his state, he has never held but one official position, that of alderman in his home town. - He has for a number of years been a member of the democratic national committee, and though Maine has always been re publican by a large majority, largely through his efforts the democrats have kept their organization together, and in several campaigns have made ex ceptionally good showings. On the money question Mr. Sewell takes the opposite view to the major ity of New England business men, being an ardent advocate of the free coinage of silver, stating that he be lieves that the recognition of the white metal as a money would be to the bene fit of the masjes. He has traveled ex tensively throughout the United States, having visited almost every section of the nation, and has made several trips to the Pacific coast.' Mr. Sewell is a thoroughly progressive business manf and- his nomination is generally con sidered a strong one.. Bryan will carry the,state by a hand some majority. THIS SEX 'TIME NT IS GROWING 'Whether ihe restoration of silver, through,unlimited coinage, 'would make the burdens to the masses less irksome, the belief th tt it would be is gaining ground among the farming communities especially, and the signs of the times are rtat there will be a stampede to the banner of the white metal this fall. Throughout the West and South the sentiment for free coin age has gained ground so rapidly, that there is scarcely a state where a majority favor the gold standard: and the silver sentiment is making rapid strides in the far East as well. ' Even in New York, where it has been con sidered that the gold standard advo cates had the firmest foothold, the goldites are waveing, at d silver gaining favor with tbe farmers, re gardless of party throughout the Em pire state. In a. recent issue, the New York Herald, a firm advocate of the gold standard, printed a long article on the growth of the silver sentiment in New York. The article was deemed so sensational that it was telegraphed in its entirety to a number of Western papers, and has been reprinted broad cast. Below we give a few extracts: "Portentious and menacing political specter has risen in tbe rural counties of the state, threatening to overshadow parties and conditions and obliterate partisan lines from the Pennsylvania boundary ' to the St. Lawrence and from Lake Erie to the Hudson. Tbe farmers are worshiping tbe silver calf. In many nf the coun ties there is no actual organization of tbe friends of free silver. An organ! zatlon and an active free silver cam' paign would make many of the strong' est republican counties in the state doubtful In November." Continuing the Herald says that even without an organization the free silver farmers knocked the sound money men off their feet in many places in the state in the recent demo cratic primaries and proceeds to en umerate localities where this has been done, prominent among them being such counties as Lew- and Genessee. Tbe latter is the home' of "Bob" Max' well, leader of the Cleveland democ racy in Western New York. From- St. Lawrence county the Herald correspondent telegraphs that that rock-ribbed Gibraltar of repub licanism is one enormous debating society, and the only subject-debated is free silver; the tariff, has been for' gotten. The writer portrays the de plorable condition of the farmers of that section of tbe state, and says that tremendous fall in the prices of farm produce has made the scarcity of money in the rural districts almost grotesque. From Watertown comes the word that tbe spread of free silver senti ment is astonishing, and bids fair to crystalize unless something is done to counteract it. ' The editor of the Watertown Times, W. D. McEestry, formerly one of the civil service com missioners, went over the county and afterwird stated that what he bad learned about free silver in that part of tbe state astounded him. If the Bilverinen only organized he thought the result would be doubtful for tbe republicans. The Herald's corres pondent further ' said that he dis covered the farmers' were no longer thinking of the tariff but of tbe benefit to be drived from free silver; . one re publican candidate for sheriff and two for treasurer were making a can vass ' on the out-and-out free silver platform; the cashier of tbe leading financial institution of Watertown was for free silver and republicans farmers were pouring into Water town's book stores for free silver literature; that the one great topic of conversation, in fact the only topic is tbe free coinage of silver and the beneficial effects it was declared to be sure to have on prices. . . j As the correspondent writing from -Oswego puts it, that county bas-"gone daft" on the question of free silver to gether with the other northern coun ties of that state. The movement does not appear to be confined strictly to either, party. A free silver league of 100 members has been organized and is spreading free silver literature and pledging farmers to support no candi date for the presidency , unless he pledges himself to free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. . . - The correspondent concludes with the significant statement. : "The thing one most notices in talking to tbe farmers in this country is a growing antipathy to Wall street. It is simply sign, but it is a portent of sectional prejudices that bids fair to run wild soon. One hears iarmers say on every hand that what Wall street wants they are opposed to. . This feeling has trav eled rapidly east from the wheat fields of the West." From Tiowville, another section of the state, the Herald gets the word that party lines are badly broken by the free silyer sentiment. From Syracuse, N. Y., the Herald prints the following dispatch: "I am told by reliable persons who have spent' much time, lately among tbe farmers of Onondaga, Madison and Oneida counties that the free silver sentiment among the republican farm ers has developed wonderfully since tbe St. Louis convention. The sec tion ir. being flooded with John R. Mc Lean's Cincinnati newspapers. The republican leaders are immersed In the quarrel between T. C. Piatt and War ner Miller, and are not taking up the issue In time to prevent its spread." COMING TO ITS SENSES. When Grover Cleveland was elected president in 1892, the Oregonian pre dicted dire destruction to all American industries, because the people of the country had. accord inc to its way of thinking at that time, declared for a 'free trade policy." tThen when the Wilson tariff bill was introduced in congress, and after numerous amend roents, finally became a law, the - Oregonian again set up a howl about "democratic free trade." For two long years the present tariff law ha?, to the Oregonian, been an absolute free trade law, but all of a sudden it has come" to its senses and discovered that the '94 tariff law is a highly protective measure, which, with the exception of a few schedules, should satisfy the de mands of the most radical protection ist. ' . . "After all, says the Oregonian, "the difference between the parties on the tariff question is but a difference as to th6 degree of protection that is to be enacted or allowed. The present tariff, made by the democratic party, not only does not discard protection, but, on the contrary, has many strong protective features. 'Probably it will be forever . in-possible to eliminate protection from our-system. The dis pute then, is as to the objects of pro tection and the degree of protection. What products and industries are to receive this favor, and to what extent? The complaint in many of our states is that the present tariff does not give fair treatment.:" We think . our Pacific states have not-received it. Our pro ducts have been too liberally on the free list, while the products and in dustries of other states receive pro tection" It has indeed taken the great metro politan daily a long time to find out j tnal ic ha9 misrepresented the present tariff law as a free-trae measure, and that it has '"many strong protective features." It has too been- equally slow to learn tbe fallacy of its numer ous statements during past years, that tbe republican party alone stood fur protection, the democratic - party hav ing abandoned it altogether; but it has also learned that it has been falsely making such statements, and makes this confession: "It cannot be said that the issue now is whether we shall return to the protective system or not; for we never have abandoned it. It has, however, been made unequal. As to the principle or doctrine of protection, there is no dispute, for the democratic party has framed the present tariff with a studious puroose to protect many things. It remains, therefore, that the only question between the parties, as . to protective tariff, is merely a question of details." Now let us begin to sum np. For four years the Oregonian has emphati cally declared that the democratic party was an out and out free trade party; now it discovers that it differs from the republican party only as to the degree of protection. For two years is has denounced the present tariff law as a free trade measure; now it learns that It is highly protective. All the time it has asserted that when Cleve land was elected the principles of pro tection were abandoned; now it learns that they are still in force. How then after the Oregonian has acknowledged it has been false in every statement iW made with reference to the relative positions of the two parties on the tariff issue during tbe past four years, are we to receive as true "tbe state ments it makes concerning the money question? . There is an old rule in common lw, governing evidence, for determining the credibility of wit nesses, which assumes if the witness is false in ' one thing he is false in all, If this rule is to be applied to tbe Oregonian, we oan 'only conclude that its picture of tbe ills to come from change in our financial policy is over- drawd; that its vision is obscured by prejudice; that the result will not be so disastrous as it would make it ap pear. AN UNCLEAN THING. The Utahnian sprung into existence at Salt Lake City fonr weeks ago, with Col. Pat Donan as editor, nnder aus picious circumstances, and to all ap pearances bid fair to be a clean, racy paper, wedded to its pet theory, the advocacy of the cauBe of silver, but tbe fourth edition of the so-called journal brands itself as an unclean thing and its editor as a dirty blackguard. It publishes an article nnder the heading of "Beauty and the Beast," in which it endeavors to paint President Cleve land as a beer guzzler, a criminal ward politician, and wife-beater of tbe blackest type. Such sallies as this up on Cleveland can detract nothing from his character or reputation, for the reading public only considers the source from which it comes. W bile we endorse more that Cleveland has not done than we do of what he has done, till we recognize in bim a statesman. a patriot and a typical American, one who has filled the presidential chair during one of the most trying periods of the nation's history, and who in later years will be ranked among the fwremost men of bis time. Pat Donan and his dirty sheet may detract from his reputation now, but when the his tory of the period from 1893, to 1897 is written, there will be no name more prominent than that of Grover Cleve land. AFTER ST. LOUIS, WHATt- The populists and silver league will hold their national conventions at St, Louis next Wednesday, to determine if a third presidential tloket shall be nominated, or whether. they wlll'en- dorse the nominees of tbe democratic party, and allow the question, as to whether gold or silver shall predom inate, to come squarely before the peo ple of the United States as a direct is sue, naturally the gaze oi the nation is turned toward St. Louis, for the re sult of the November election depends largely upon what is done there on the 22d. If Bryan and Sewall are en dorsed by those conventions, then tbe question of what standard of . values the country shall have may be decided neitrNovember. and there is little doubt as to 'what the decision of the people will be, for there is no denying the faot that a majority of the -voters in this oountry favor the free coinage of silver, and if tbe contest is allowed to come between two candidates only, tbe one favoring silver will in all probability b& elected. ' , The men who will , assemble in St. Louis next Wednesday have an oppor tunity to proye to the world whether they are demagogues, or whether they are sincere in their demands for the remonetizatlon of "silver. Especially is this true in regard to tbe populists. Since the formation of that party, their main demand has been for the restoration -of silver.. This baa been the paramount issue for which tbey have clamored. It bat been the cor ner stone on which their party prin ciples rest. If they thick more of principles than they do of party or ganization, they will be forced to fall in line with the party that has already promised to restore silver as a money metal. They have presented to them an opportunity to elect a president who is In sympathy with them on the money question; or they have tbe op portunity uO defeat his election by nominating a third candidate. J. H Turner, secretary of the populist national committee, fully expressed the "situation when be said: "I feel that I would be one of the worst enemies of tbe people's party and its principles should I not take the step now that I believe that will culminate in tbe complete triumph of every demand made in the party. We have advocated a union of the South and West in order that we might bring about the necessary financial re forms. Now we haye a chance of bringing all our hopes and desires to a grand consummation: The truth of it is that the only point we now have to decide is whether or not the people will take Mr. Bryan, whom every gold- bug in the country has dinounced as a populist, for our next president of the United State9, or whether they will take McKinley, who represents every thing the populists have denounced, and just the opposite of everything they have advocated since they have been a party. Looking at it from this standpoint, I feel that in the nomina tion of Bryan populism has triumphed,' and when I say populism. I mean the great common people of the United States. The masses have triumphed against the classes, and, should Mc Kinley be ' elected, the classes y will have triumphed " QliEAT MINUS DIFFER. There is more diversity of opinion among the leading minds of the coun try upon the money question than any ether that has ever come before tbe people. It is urged by many advocates of the gold standard, that should the United States open her mints to tbe unlimited coinage of sliver, the direst results would occur, business of every class would be prostrated and a gen eral financial panic would ensue. On the Other hand, equally intelligent and honest men, who favor- tbe free coin age of the white metal, hold tho.t tbe Kpnly remedy for the present financial ills is to throw our mints open to silyer, restore that metal to the posi tion it held prior to 1873, and receive the dollar of 412 grains of silver as the unit on which the value of money shall be. based. Not only does the difference of opinion on this problem exist in America, but throughout the commercial world. In London, for instance, the money center of ' tbe world, some of the leading journals take, exactly opposite views of tbe financial question. The Chronicle, which is the acknowledged oracle of the banking interests of England, de clares that should America go to a silver basis, "it would be brought face to face with financial panic and com mercial ruin." And tbe London Fi nancial News, which s equally as able a journal, but more directly repre sents the mercantile and manufactur ing interests of Great Britain, makes the following editorial statement with reference to the money question in America: "There is a plain moral in the re mark that if the United States would venture to cut herself adrift from Europe and take. outright to silver she would have all America and Asia at her back and the command of the markets of ..both 'countries.' The bar rier of gold would be more fatal than any barrier ofa custom bouse. Tbe bond of silver would be stronger than any bond of free trade. There can be no doubt" about ft that if the United States were to adopt a silver basis to morrow British trade would be ruined before the year was out. Every Amer ican would be protected, not only at borne, but in t,very other market. Of course the United States would suffer to a certain extent through having to pay' ber obligations abroad in gold but tbe loss of exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket as compared to the profit to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe. The marvel is that the United Mates have not long ago seized the opportunity. It has been a piece of luck that it has never occurred to the Americana to scoop us out of the world's markets by foing on a silver basis, and it might serve us right if, irritated by tbe contemptible apathy of our government toward tbe silver problem, the Americans retaliatad by freezing out gold. It could be ' easily done." - - EDITORIAL NOTES. Old time democracy went " to the Atlantio coast for a president and oc casionally came out to the middle west for a vice, but this year the system has been reversed. Bryan from the middle west and Sewell from Maine makes a combina tion which is divided as evenly as re gards to section as McKinley from Ohio and Hobert-from New Jersey. ! '. All eyes will be turned toward Sr. Liouls, until after July 22. If the pop ulists and silver con venMons that meet there on that date endorse Bryan and Sewell, It will be good-bye to McKin ley and Hobart. Dr. F. V. B. Embree, chairman of the Polk county; -populist committee, favors the St. Louis convention nomi nating of Bryan for president, provid ed be will accept the declarations of the populist national platform. - The London Chronicle takes ' a gloomy view of conditions that will exist in America in case Bryan shall be elected president. It predicts finan cial panic, commercial ruin and a second civil war. The Chronicle is the mouthpiece of the English bankers. Governor Lord proposes to enforce the laws for punishing paries for set-, ting out fires that may result in .the ; destruction or public .or private prop erty, especially timber in the moun tains, and has accordingly issued a pro clamation warning all persons against violating the law. " Mayor Pennoyer and tbe common COUncilof Portland, do not view, all matters through tbe same spectacles' The council recently passed to ordi nances, appropriating public funds for. repairing streets and bridges, which the mayor vetoed, but- phe council by an unanimous vote passed both over his veto. x. .' " . . ... : . Some papers are taking a most lud icrous position with reference to tbe money question. One of our exchanges makes the psofoun.d statement that tbe government cannot by legislation '.de cree the price of silver. - Prey, then what is it doing now? It is by legisla tion making something near five hun dred millions of silver dollars, whose bullion value is little more than $250, 000,000 go at twice its actual commer cial value. That is, it is forcing every silver dollar, which as bullion is worth only a little more than 50 cents, pass as a full dollar in gold. The death of ex-Governor William E. .Russell, of Massachusetts, is a loss to the entire nation. There were few brighter minds or more patriotic citi zens in the United States than Gov. RusselL An exchange remarks that after the November election Bryan's name 'will be Dennis O'Bryan." That may be true, but there are a whole lot of voters who are sanguine In the belief that-be will have the word "president" prefixed to his name, while Major Mc Kinley may per chance be dubbed "Michael." It is peculiar taste that Is exhibited by some people who bolted the regular nominee of the republican convention and supported Judge Northup for con gress, to now -come out and request Jonathan Bourn to resign from the position of secretary of the republican state committee, because they antici pate that he may bolt McKinley. In the heat of the presidential cam paign wis should not lose sight of the fact .that there will be a session of the Oregon 'legislature held next January, and the much needed legislation is needed; for instance, the enactment of a strict registration law, the abolish ing of all needless commissions, and the re-enactment of the mortgage tax law and exemption of indebtedness from taxation. , John P. .Irish,, one of California's stauncbest democrats, believes that state is lost to democracy by the adopt ion of a free silver platform, while the Sacramento Bee, one of the most in fluential republican papers of tbe Goldeu Gate state, says the adoption of the gold standard plank at St. Louis will cause California to be lost to McKinley by $40,000' votes. Which is to be believed? The Oregon struck the nail on the head when it said: It is evident, since the national treasury has long been running behind, that there is not revenue enough to meet tbe demand. The same is true in our local affairs. But it is a mistake to call for an increase of revenue as the only remedy. Expenditure should be diminlsbei. ' Government costs too much. - The appropriations are too large. In private affairs all men re trench. In public affairs, why keep up the extravagance and cry out. More revenue'?" The democrats have nominated a free silver man on a free silver, plat form, and the republicans have nom inated a hitherto free-silver man on a gold platform. In keeping with the course it pursued in the last congres sional eh ction, it would now be in order for the Oregonian to insist upon the nomination of an independent gold candidate on a solid gold platform. If the Oregonian proposes to be thor oughly roqsis'tent it can no more .sup port McKinley than it could have sup ported Ellis. - McKinley has a record of having voted for free. coinage when he was in congress. The Telegram announces that Bryan is a weak man in his own state, and that he cannot even carry Nebraska this fall. As to the consistency of this statement we have but to refer to the vote of Nebraska two years ago. By an arrangement of tbe laws f that slate tbe people have the privil -ge of expressing their choice for U. S. sena tor, and in the election of 1834 Bryan received 80,371 -votes, more than all the other Candidates, but the legisla ture was republican, and John M Thurston, who received only 1,866 was elected to the senate.. If th people of Nebraska have not changed their mindi in the past two years . It is ratbor tiresome to read some of the editorials lauding McKinley. He is held up as a great statesman, on wbo learned all about tbe intricate business affairs of this great nation by a few years service in congress, and as a culmination of his services to the na tion as a legislator created the tariff law of 1890. This was indeed a grand stroke of statesmanship and marked example of financiering for it reduce the revenues from customs duties from 8229,668,585 in 1890 to $177,462,964 1892. Then he is held up to gaze in as the great ruler of the state of Ohio for four years, during which time the debt of that state, was increased - more than 8100,000. - ' t rnose wno have had tbe manage ment of loaning the state school funds in Grant county evidently have been most negligent in some instances at least. One piece of property on which 82,500 were loaned baa just been sold under execution for 8700. Besides the principle, there was due on the loan interest amounting to $1,053 33. - In addition to the interest due, the taxes unpaid and costs of collection amounted to 3380.93, making the total indebted ness 83.934.26. .so the state school fund loses 83234:26 on the loan. there are many more loans of the fund no better secured than this seems to bave been, the $2,500,000 school fund will soon disappear.' - Who wins In the race ?

Feliz Faure, presi dent of the French republic, was to day fired at from a distance ot only a few feet by an unknown man, but tbe bullet fortunately went wide of its mark, and the president escaped un harmed. President Faure bad gone to tbe Champs to review tbe troops. He had no sooner entered tbe field when a man in the crowd stepped forward and L fired at him. The shot did not take effect. Tbe would-be assassin was arretted. He declared that he only fired a blank cartridge. When it became known in the crowd that the president had not been hurt by the pistol shot, cheer after cheer was sent up. Tbe people could scarcely be restrained by the guards from crowding about the place where tbe president and his suite were standing. News of tbe attempt upon tbe life of tbe president spread with great rapid ity among the crowds celebrating the national fete day. The president was everywhere received with cheers, the populace taking that means of ex pressing its gratification at his escape from a violent death. " Faure was seated in an open carriage, accompanied by M. Melrne, the pre mier, and M. M. Boisdefe and Tourney, when a well-dressed man, apparently about 40 yrs of age, who bad been leaning agairNst a tree, took deliberate aim and fired twice In quick succession with a revolver at the president. He bad not time to fire again before tbe crowd closed in upon him and seized him, and but for tbe prevention of the police he would probably have been lypched. The name of the miscreant Is given as Francois. It appears that sometime ago. in order to draw atten tion to a supposed grievance he fired a revolver in the ball of the chamber of deputies. Francois declares he bad no desire to harm the president, and the sole purpose of his act was to secure a bearing by the president of bis griev ance. Storm lit Ohio. Youngstown, O., July 14.
