The Gazette. Thursday, Sept. 28, 1899. ANOTHER DEPARTURE. The past week's goading beta been sufficient to justify the Ga zette laying aside its "quaker garb" and adorning its fighting rig. It has taken one year's time to decide that while the noble (?) red men have been banished to the hidden recesses of the mountains their tactics have been retained to a considerable extent in this com munity by the "would-be powers." The liberal patronage of the busi ness men bestowed upon the Ga zette in their consideration of our management has enabled us to meet our bills when presented, for which they have our sincere gratitude, bo we have no grievance on that score. What troubles us most is the fellow, known as an evil doer, who takes delight in dis couraging not only the social cou ditions, but the business wellfare of the community. Sticking in the "craw" of many of our friends is the scurrilous article appearing in the Times previous 1o that editor's unfortunate affliction. Providence commanded our respect at that time. Now, in defense, we wil open up our past record to the public, inviting an inquiiy of al tne leaaiug business men, and church denominations with which we have come in contact through out Oregon, Washington and Call fornia during the forty years o our existence, two-thirds of which time has been spent in the statu of Oregon in close association with the leading business meD, whose respect and confidence we have re tained. We have yet to be accused of shirking a juBt debt, or suspect ed of a crime against law or society have never played the hypocrite or meddled with affairs of others, While we make no pretense to brilliancy we carry public record of having done well in our under takings, and have standing invita Hons to return to the fields we have left behind. The iueiuua tions of the article appearing in the Times were mischievous and carried convictions only with those who depend upon the agency from which they came. Evil insinua tions like evil suspicions bode no good for thoB with whom they originate. Threats, insinuations and disagreeable personalities are not in our make up. When we can show up the truth we Bimply turn on the lights. Brief War News, Tele graphic News Notes, Etc.. Etc. Kvkh since the official announce- tnent that President McKiuley would visit St. Faul and Minne apolis, as well as Chicago, when he goeswrat next month, the presi dent has been overwhelmed with iuvitations by mail, by wire mid verbally to visit other western cities. While this proof of his personal popularity is naturally grutifying to President MoKiuly, it is also einbarrasing to him be cause of his inability to accept all the invitations and his unwilling iirbb to appear to discriminate. lie may decide to visit other places, but the chances are that he will not. His promise to visit Chicago during its autum festival whs ohtaiued many months auo, and it was through his desire to assist in welcoming the Minnesota volunteers home from the Philip, pines that caused him to decide to go to Minneapolis and St. Paul; his interest in and kindly feeling toward the volunteers are known to all who havo come in contact with him. RlHlESENTATIYE EDPY, of Min. nesota, who is an expert in feeling the public pulse, is in Washington. bince oongross adjourned he has been almost continuously on the move, and has been from Massa cbusetts to the state of Washing ton, making it a point to find out the condition of public Hontiment. As a result of his investigation he says that the foreign policy of the administration will be the princi pal issue in the presidential cam paign. Of that ismiehe said: "The eeutimeut of the couutry is, in my opiuiou, overwhelmingly in favor of maintaining American suprem acy over every foot of territory which came to us as a result of the war with Spain. The anti-expansionists of tho Kaat have really done President McKioIey a good turn by their calumniations. For they have aroused the sentiment of the people and made an issue that will be settled in the presidential elec tion next year, and settled right, as every question involving Ameri can dignity and honor has always been settled when submitted to the voters." Chicago, Sept. U Robert J. Thomp son, secretary of the Layfeyetta Memor ial committee, ear a be thicks the peo ple of tbe United States are making a rash movement in condemiog theFrenoh nation for the Dreyfus verdict. "Tbe people of tbe United States one deep debt of gratitude to France," be said in an interview. "And we should show moderation and sympathy at this time instead of violeuce. Tbe people of America must no forget as a nation independent of tbe European influence and diotation, we owe all practioally to France. Tbe treat mnt of France by Ibe United States has under tbe circum stances that have existed been, to say tbe least, tbe most nogratefnl and shameful. Do onr people know that be sides giving us Layfayette.Franoe has al so given ns Roobambeau, with thousands of the best trained soldiers in Enrope? She gave as De Qrasse and Count d'Es tange with fleets of splendid warships, and she expended in her oo-operation with Geneial Washington in tbe war for independence, $280.000 ,000. 8he loaned and gave as outright as gifts of friend ship many millions of dollars and she did these things at a time when Dot to have done them would have meant the absence of tbe repnblio of the United States on the western oontinent, in my opinion, forever. "It seems inoredible, but history nevertheless records thefaot," oontinaed Secretary Tuorapsoo, "that but a few years after our establishment of inde pendence as an independent government through the aid of France we negotiated a seoret treaty of friendly alliance with Great Britain against France resulting in this outraged friend turning her guns on our infant merchant marine, produc ing a loss of $20,000 000 wbiob France later agreed to pay if we wonld reim burse ber for the expenses she had gone to in establishing us as an independent nation, We qniokly acknowledge the expenditure on the part of France of the $280,000,000 in our behalf, played Ibe pov erty act and begged tbem to withdraw their bill. To this day, 100 years after, tbe French spoilatlon claims are unpaid. "The United States ns a government and the people individually owe to France more than cau ever ba paid. Therefore, moderation just now wonld be tbe part of friendship rather than a wild and useless attempt to interfere in ber most sacred internal nil lira. Beattlk, Hept, 20. The steamship Topeka arrived from Lynn oaual this evening with news of a terrible earth quake, which began September 3 and oontinued until September 10. Tbe steamer Dora onrried the news to Ju neau. The earthquake exended from Litueya bay, 150 miles below Takutat, 500 miles northwest into tbe Cooks inlet country, It was the greatest phenomen witnessed in Alaska since a similar oc curence iu the Russian days, Three die tiuot shooka were felt al Juneau.

Huge fissures opened in tbe earth. Dora pasfengers say tbat in two minutes the ocean rose 20 feet and almost as quickly subsided. Indians at Yakntat have deserted their homes and sre living in tents on Ibe beaoh. Many have gone to Junean. CliK Ado, Hppt. 'Jl Harrelt, Karnum A Co. , the board of trade firm, failed today. Tbe bouse, it is understood, was heavily short on wheat. Tbe shortage of the firm was estimated at four to five n il lions of bushel.

Tbe weather was all that oould be de sired on Thursday on last week, when tbe special three eights daub was ran, instead of the half mile and repeat raoe, which failed for lack of entries. Tbe entries were: Bleok Bess, by Fred Haul; Tip, by T. J. Soroggins; Charooal, by W. C. Gibbs; Cyrus King, by M. 8. Keeney. But little sooring was done, and when they were sent away every one could see that the race lay between Fred Hunt's beautiful black mare and the thoroughbred stallion Cyrns King, bat neither oould gain any advantage over the other and tbey oame under tbe wire neck and neck. Tbe judges decided it a dead beat, and ordered the jookeys to get their hois-js ready for another trial of speed. Tip was third. Charcoal also ran. Time, :30. Iu 20 miuutes the con testants were at the scare again, and when tbe flag fell tbe mare took tbe lead and held it to tbe finish, winning by a length. On Friday tbe three eights of a mi'e sweepstake race, was run for a purse of $75, paid by tbe owners of the follow ing named horses: Tiger, Lark and Char ooal. Tiger won, with Lark a close second. But one entry was made for the five eights mile dash on the programme for Friday and tbe direotors substituted special one-fourth mile dash, and barred all fast horses on Ibe grounds. Tbe entries were: Miss Maud, by J H. Hamilton ; Bally, by T. E. Hinlou; Comet, by W. G Keeney; Barlow, by M. 8 Keenoj ; Claude, oy Otto Ward. Bat little time was wasted in getting them off and they oame under tbe wire in tbe following order: Barlow first, Olaade seooud, Maud third, with Comet and Bally a length behind Maud. The one-fourth mile dash for Satur- dao filled with the following entries; Daisy, by Henry Hawk; Buffalo, by Slavens & Hardv;Tip, by T.J Sorog gins; Barlow, by M. 8, Keenej ; Claude by J. H. C"sndy.
