The prettiest race of the day was the five-eighths running race, in which the entries were Tom Tongue, Picnic, Black Prince, Blue Jay and Tom La Mar. The horses got away from the score in a bunch, and for the first half mile it was anybody's race, but from there on Picnic and Prince "began showing a weakness, and the other three fought nobly for the first posi tion. When they come under the wire Tom Tongue was a neck ahead, while Blue Jay and La Mar were about, a tie, La Mar slightly in the lead. The time announced from the judge's stand was l:0."l.

U'R-.-n, of Oregon City, addressed a fair sized audience in the Bald .via opira house. Mr. U'Rn is a farmer, and is one who presents facts and figures in sueh a plain, convincing manner that hi utterances "h ive weight with his hear ers. He is an ardent advocate of di rect legislation and devoted the firt portion of his address to the theory of initiative and ref.'-rend'.iiu, then took up the main issues of the present cam paign, th" tariff and money question". He has been a life long republican, hence is a rudieul ) I'tectioni.-t, hut holds that the tariff, as heretofore seheduled. has not afforded protection to the ma-s s. but has rather worked in the interest of tho classes. As the best methods to be adopted for the pro tection of American industries and American labor, the speaker showed beyond contradiction that an Amer ican system of finances would be more effectual than the highest tariff that could possibly beenaete.d. The speaker illustrated the absurdity of interna tional agreement to establish a bi metalio monetary system in order to maintain anything like a parity be tween gold and silver, unless tho United States wer.- able to m;intain the same independently. This government, le showed required 814,000.000 daily to pay its wages, while tho countries witn wbicli international agreement was sought r-q'i!rl bit $ll,03;).0.)0, therefore wo were tha more powerful fince we required more money to pay our wage-earners, and were therefore a'lo to sustain an independent mon etary system. The speaker submitted a number of r puhlieun authorities, including Mr. McKinley and Harper's Weekly, to show that the free coinage of silver would increase tho price ot farm pro ducts and the wages of labor, then followed up with an und:sptitablo line of reasoning provi ig that this would be beneficial to all classes. Mr. U'Rn made a forcible demonstration of how the free coinage of silver would effect tho wage-earner beneficially. At pres ent, under the operations of the gold standard, labor is not, employed and there are numerous applicants for every position . By free coinage agri cultural, mining and lumbering indus tries would be pnrourayed, hence labor would be employed in these industries, reducing the number of Applicants for planes on railroads, in stores and fac tories, thus making the ones now em ployed in such vocations more certain of holding thpir places at present sal aries, than if there were greater com petition. In conclusion Mr. U'Ken paid a handsome tribute to Bryan and urged all - liberty -lovine true. Americans to rally to his support. Throughout his speech was replete with uncontrover tible argument, and was one of the ablest and most convincing addresses that has been delivered in The Dalles during the present campaign.

THE NATION KOT IN DANGER The Demand for Free Coinage Is Hot Secession. A writer in the Lancaster. Wiscon sin, Teller makes the following good hits to refute the statement that it is traitorous to advocate the free coinage of silver and that the nation's honor ia today in great peril. Ha says: "I ask In whitman ncr this campaign carries us back to 'CI? grevely ask i what parallel or comparison does this come under? The Union is not in 'danger, and no one, so far as I have h-ard an opinion " expressed, enter tains for a moment such an idea if sincere. The point at issue in this i campaign, whether we shall have sil- . yer coi pe d as freely and circulated as freejy as gold, is not a question of i plotting dismemberment of the Union of these states. "So far as the great crime- of '61 is concerned, that of firing on and com pelling the surrender of a fort of the United States government, the guilty parties were punished, and there is no I further need of wearing the 'bloody shirt.' for these are times of peace in which the people demand their rights as free men, and they propose to get those rights at the polls on the 3d of November. But they do not threaten to assail any branch of the govern ment; they are not rebels or secession ists, unless it is rebellion to offer to secede from tbe sway of the gold bugs ot Lombard and Wall e tree's.

TUB DAI.I.ES WILL I tLttlRATE Preliminary Steps fur a Bis Blo.v Out liken the loek aro Finished. At a meeting of The Dalles Com mercial club helil Friday evening, pre liminary steps were taken for appro priately celebrating the opening of the Cascade Locks. It was delermiuoo that The Dalles should make this event cne of the grandest in the his tory of the city, and President Sch neck was authorized to appoint four com mittees, one each on invitation and program, finance, transportation and reception and entertainment, to take charge of the celebration ITo definite plan for the celebration was adopted, other than it was to be one in which the people of Oregon generally could participate The matter of the opening of the locks at Cascades is one in which East ern Oregon is especially interested, and The Dalles may be depended upon to do justice to the celebration, though at present it is lmoossibie to either fix the date on which the celebration will occur, or the nature of the enter tainment that will bo arranged. The O. K. & N. All Right. While other railroad companies throughout tbe country have the repu tation of coercing their employes to wear McKinley buttons and shout for tho gold standard nominee from early morn to dewy eve, the O. R. & N. management is above such dirty busi ness, and the Democrat believes that this company is entitled to tho credit due. As an example: Yesterday Gen eral Passenger Agent Hurlburi was on board the train from La Grande. He gave orders to Conductor Seeley to al low Senator Tillman 15 minutes to ad dress tbe people of Baker City from the car platform, when ordinarily only a nve minutes' stop is made. Such fair treatment of the people is to be appreciated, and the people of Baker , City will remember tho courtesy ex j tended. Baker City Democrat. ! Two Lives Saved.

TlES-MOUNTAINEKB- It is being reported that I recently went to one of the banks in The Dalles and wanted to draw 3150, that the hanker offered to pay me in silver and that I refused it. This report is abso lutely false in every particular. 1 have never refused to take silver on any ac count, and I now make this offer to any cold bug: I will sell my farm or any thing else I have, and take the entire payment in silver. bETH A" ORGAN.

These were the sad dest words ever uttered by the lips of fate "that the race outstrips tho indi vidual and that we must seo what we an never hope to attain."

The nearest approach to anything of tho kind is oui-Taine tnd - hautauquan circles, the member !iip of both, probably not exceeding thirty-fo'ir. Then what are the resi Uuing? What a blessing it woul4 be it someone would evince enough energy and enthusiasm to organize a literar.t club, either fortnightly or weekly, and also here we grow cautious, are afraid to speak but something whose power we are unable to resist, urges us on, we grow bold and exclaim "a Shakes peare club I" Has anybody fainted ? We were afraid of it, but when you recoyer will you please consider our proposition ? - The death of George DuMaurier, tbe author of "Trilby," has been received with mingled feelings. Admirers of his celebrated work feel that literary America has sustained a great loss, while those who are prone to criticise ""are of the opinion that DuMaurier could never have achieved greatness in the tree sense of the word. "Trilby" was simply a book for a day, and dis appointed tbe author's hopes when it failed to enter the ranks of the classics. The book undoubtedly contained the author's best efforts, and while there is a chance, that if he could have lived ten years longer he may have written something better, public opinion for the most part is that he bad achieved the highest mark for which he was capable.
