THEKK A HE.
Beautiful words never spoken,
Whispers of cheer that might save
Hearts drifting, weary and broken,
Down to the night of the grave.
Hllence more deadly than passion,
Glances that Blander can send,
Framed in the world's devilish fashion,
To murder the heart oi a friend.
Looks, spotless virtue Impeaching,
Souls lying crushed on the plain.
With tear frozen eyelids beseeching
The touch of love's sunlight again.
Burdens to bear for the weaker,
Jewels to dig from God's mine,
And gemB, fairer still, to the seeker
In the angels' liara that shine.
Within us the soul's silent treasure
Waiting the kiss of the light;
Sweet scented blossoms of pleasure
Our fingers may cull from the night.
Fruit shining ripe on toil's mountains,
Pearls that sleep under life's sea,
Music in God's laughing fountains
Undreamed of by yon or by me.
Lark's singing down lu love's meadow,
Throstles that pipe by the hill;
Out of time's darkness and shadow,
Whispers that comfort aud thrill.
Voices within ever singing,
Melody softened by tears,
The phoenix of hope at last springing
Serene from the ashes of years.

NKWSPAPEll OPINION.
One man has been discovered east of
the mountains who is opposed to an open
river. He is the editor of a Fomeroy pa
per. He assigns as a reason that the
railroads would be robbed of one-fourth
of their freights, and would have to iu
crease rates or go into bankruptcy. That
fellow ought to get into the legislature
as a railroad lobbyist.
Montesuno Vidette: The postmaster
in Tacoma has dismissed his lady clerks,
and proclaims that hereafter bis employ
es must be men. Just why ladies fill
similar positions in other and larger cit
ies, but cannot satisfy the pastmaster at
Tacoma, is not apparent. Whenever a
woman can do the Bame work as a man
she should be placed on an equal tooting
with him and be given the same oppor
tunities.
The vast expanse of oountry lying east
of the Casoade mountains iu southern
and southeastern Oregon, comprising
millions of acres, is the largest and rich
est undeveloped region on the Pacific

great tides of immigration to the West'
Its past isolation has been due princi

It is said on good authority that the
wheat acreage within fifteen miles of
Waterville promises a yield of over 1,000,-
000 bushels. It will be harvested within
twenty miles of the Columbia and will
naturally find shipment out of the coun
try over the Great Northern to the
Sound. That wheat aud all the other
products of that oountry would be

Spokane Review: It the Oregon dem
ocracy had not turned its baok upon the
political Moses who has twioe led it to
victory, it might have made itself trou
blesome for the republicans this year.
Pennoyer was the only man capable of
wooing the vote of the "people's party,"
an element that developed unexpected
strength at the polls, but the democratic
party beoame possessed of a miutaken
notion that it eleoted Penuoyer, whereas
PeDnoyer really led it into place and
power, and in reward for bis services
kicked liim out of its oouncils. With
Pennoyer directing its generalship and
courting the farmer movement as no oth
er living Oregonian can court it, the
democrats would have come dangerously
close to electing the legislature.

The days when stump speakers hunted

Well, it was offered me by the Nevada
delegation, who would have placed nie

would aooept it, knowing that my name
would stiffen up the tioket in the West

over I did not see how Harrison could

Young was never even thought of for tht

was laughed at for his presumption. Hit
esoape was a narrow one.

EFFECT OF KKCIPROCrrV.
The acting secretary of the state has
sent to the senate a lengthy reply to the
resolutions passed some weeks ago in
quiring as to the practioal ell'eots of the
reciprocity negotiations.
He says "praotical effect" cannot be
measured by the oommeree of a month
or a year, for it must depend upon the
degree to whioh the concessions obtained
are utilized by private oommeroial enter
prise. .Before the full results oau be ob
tained, he says, we must provide the
means for transacting our own business
independent of the ships, banks aud cap
ital of our commercial rivals; that the
advantages are recognized and appre
oioted is already apparent by the interest
awakened among the aammeroial and
industrial communities of this oountry.
It is gratifying to note there has already
been a considerable increase iu our ex
ports, and there is good reason to expect
it will be permanent. It is equally no
ticeable, too, that the exports from Great
Britain to the Latin-Amerioan oountries
are falling off with even greater rapidity,
so much so as to excite the appreheusiun
of her commercial organizations and im
pel them to seek protection from the gov
ment. Iu conclusion, the sating secre
tary says the act has not onlv brought
about the result of securing the repeal
of the prohibition of Amorioau pork,
which for ten years has practically ex
cluded that product from most of the
continental oountries of Europe, but has
enabled the executive to negotiate a re
ciprocity arrangement of a highly satis
factory character with Germany and
Austria. No satisfactory results have
been obtained in the negotiations with
Mexico.
FOOD ADUIiTKUATlONH.
Fifteen Per Cent, of All Eaten iu the I'uited
State Is Impure.
The subject of the adulteration of our
food supplies has been kept so constant
ly before the publio for 15 years that it
has become an old story, and those peo
ple who look out only for sensational
novelties turn from any discussion of it
as tbey do from an oft-told tale. And
yet the subject has been exhausted by
no means, and will not be uutil public
opinion shall express itself in laws, and
demand that these laws be enforced as
rigidly and vigorously against this crime
as against other felonies. The adulter
ation of food is now practiced to so great
an extent that 15 per ceut. of all that is
consumed in the United States is aug
mented by treatment for the purpose of
making it cost less to the producer aud
purveyor, or rendered impure and some
thing else than that which the consumers
think they are buying. It has become
so oommon a practioe that many mer
chants indulge in these adulterations as
a matter of course, and with no thought
that it is dishonest in itself and made
oriminal by the laws of many of the
states. Alany of these adulterations are
not particularly unwholesome, hut they
are dishonest iu the same Bense as sell
ing oalico for silk would be. It is swin
dling in the same sense that the passing
of counterfeit money is so. In the ag
gregate this ftaud upon the American
consumers amounts annually to 870.),-
000,000. This is an immense sum of
money, but the estimate of Mr. II. W.
Wiley, the ohief chemist of the depart
ment of agriculture, appears to be wall
within the mark.

England's two-thirds majority, backed by
the wealth and influence of the kingdom,
precipitates tho fight thcro. Every Indi
cation, as viewed from afar through
newspaper sentiment, points to a return
of the liberals to power. Should such
prove the case, Gladstone, now an ooto-
geuuriau, will doubtless be placed at the
head of affairs and outline the policy for
the most populous nation of the earth.
An observing woman writer thinks- that
different styles of dress are responsible
for different moods iu the wearer, For
instance, a woman wearing a stiff collar
aud a duilish shirt bosom, becomes mau
isb and hauteur. In a soft, gauzy gown
she is poetia and L'raoeful. In a tennis
suit she becomes pert and flirtatious.
Hero, then is a new theory of dress. Any
sort of mood may be induced it men and
women have suits enough to woo the de
sired induction. For instance, a life con
vict may assume the free aud hilarious
mood of the base ball player by donning
pautaletts, tight cap and gloves. The
dypRomaniao may receive all the bene
fits of the Koeley cure by assuming
skirts aud W. C. T. U. badges. Think,
for instanoe, of the change of heart that
would oome over David B. iiill should
be put on the oast oil' clothing of (jrover
Cleveland, or the boueet look that would
settle on the brow of Matt Quay uuder
the shallow of Grandpa's hat.

The East Oregoniau, iu commenting
on the results of the election says: "il
lis carried the second congressional dis
trict by only 3114 votes. He was eleoted
because the democracy had no compe
tent young man who would make an
active cauvass for the office, and the peo
ple saw little difference whether Slater
or Ellis went to congress, mechanically
voting for Ellis. There was little princi
ple at stake in the late state election.
The state democratic ticket had uo bene
fit of organization."
Democracy in the seoond congressional
district of Oregon should now paraphrase
a oouplet of Whittier's to the following
effeot:
"Of all SHd words of tongue or pen,
The saddest are these, 'we had no young men'."
What a frank acknowledgement have
we here of the waning prestige of a onoe
powerful party. Truly, democracy is
falling into the sear and yellow leaf.
Nothing could possibly speak in more
clarion tones of the antiquated condition
of a party, than this trenchant criticism
from a loader of its own rank and tile.
"No oompetout young man who would
make nn active canvas for the office" of
congressman. Shades of Andrew Jack
son! With what anguish of spirit must
our honest contemporary have forced this
sorrowful ooufession from his reluctaut
pen. It sounds like the fatal band wri
ting on tbe wall of the Nehuohaduezzars.
It proves that tbe political party of which
the East Oregonian is such a faithful
apostle has lost the patronage and respeot
of the rising generation. Lost it, be
cause of its fealty to obsolete ideas.
Lost it, because of its nuBavory record
throughout a quarter of a century of tri
al iu ollioe. Lost it, beouuse, during the
last quarter of a century of the world's
most rapid progress in every art, soience
and theory of government, the democrat
ic party has oluug to tbe husks of an
tiquity from which tbe republicans have
pluoked the kernels tbat have grown and
yielded the fullsome harvests of the pres
ent. When a political parly that has had au
existence for half a oeutury, bo fur loses
its touch with tbe pregnant issues of the
day as to force from the leading exponent
of its uselcssuess in a great congression
al district, the calamitous confession
that it is so far m arrearof the vanguard,
as to have been deserted by its young
men, how cau it hope other results than
to be numbered among the" vimqnielibd.
The palliating, self-sufficing excuse,
that Mr. Ellis' majority was won by the
dotnoorats "median ically voti u g for hi m ,"
is but another overt confirmatory admis
sion that the great majority of democrats
have reoeded from tbe thinking, to the
mechanical habit of canting thoir ballots.
This automatic feature ia another evi
dence of decrepitude.
And then, us if unwilling to leave tbe
confessional without mukiug a cleun
breast of it, we are treated to the secret
that "tbe state democratic ticket bad no
benefit of organization." We had antic
ipatud as much,' The beginning of the
above quoted testimony contained the
end. "No young men for office," "Me
obanicul voting." What else could be
looked for than disorganization? Such
delinquencies as these forebodo u long
reprieve front power, for they suggeat
that the party niunt prove itself worthy
tbe cupport of the present generatiou of
young men; it must educate itself out of
its "meclniuioal" habit of voting, and
should the parly live long enough to ac
complish nil this, it may then add the
essential of "organization." The demo
cratic party may prepare itself to sub
serve a useful purpose in the twentieth
century. The vital issues of the preseut
require the statesmanship of younger
men.
Tux death of Emmons Blaine, son of
tbe ex-scorutary, was as sudden uh that
of bis elder brother, Walker, a year or
more ago. young Blaine had just re
turned from Ibe exoiting scenes of the
Minneapolis convention, where he was a
prominent figure iu his father's canvas,
His death was from blood poisoning, re
sulting from inflammation of the bowels.
Tbe Illume family have been singularly
trmd the past year. The great ex-secretary
may well coct, under the circum
stances, the seclusion of private life.
Nkithkt party can taunt the other this
year for prolonging tho term of ita candi
date. Hut the people do not object to
a second tcim where tbe incumbent has
administered well the duties of bis office.
Whenever au amendment is put to tbe
states, changing tbe prcbMoutitil term
from four to sixyeurs, tho ueeessary two
thirds majority will readily be secured.
Uutil then popular executives may serve
two terms but tbe American people will
never tolerate a third reinstatement.
