THE DEMOCRATIC 0PP0RTUN1TT. The elections are democratic. In geniously as Uie repu ui leans ir w minimize the force ot the exhibit and talk about offsets in isolated cases, the fact stands out that the country is a good deal more democratic and less republican than it was live months ago. The testimony is unmistakable and the causes are not far to seek. The notable democratic victories in Chicago and St. Louis were achieved in face of the opposition of Bryan and his leading lieutenants. The Com moner was urgent in its opposition to the regular democratic candidate for mavofof St. Louis, and Altgeld even left Chicago to go to St. Louis and take the stump for the same purpose. Yet in spite of this opposition, and that to Harrison in Chicago, democratic mavors are elected in each city. In Ohio. Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo not only elected democratic mayors, but shovved democratic gains. Michigan goes republican by 40,000, whereas in 1900 it went republican by 104,0iJ. I'emocratic mayors are elected also in F:ast St. Louis," Kansas City, Kan., Topeka, Racine and La Crosee, in Wisconsin. What is the meaning ol this reac tion? Well, it simnlv means that the motives that have held men to the re publican party are failing. One by one thev have served ttieir time ana go ou the" shelf. Bloody shirt, high tariff, jo! d standard, expansion are all in this procession to the political garret some in advance of others, but all on the march. There has never been a day since when the republican party could -rrv the country on its war record There has never been a day since 188$ when it could carrv the country on the issue of so-called protection to Ameri i can industry. The money question was decisive!? settled in 196, partially re ; opened in liMJ.but all the efforts of the .im.rts to fan its embers witn ' shrieks for silver, and all the plana of the republicans to heap on fuel by post ! poning real currency reform so as to i twn th issue open for servic are futile. Bosses can't make new issues, and thev can't keep the old ones from going. Lyents make issues, and events are brineinz on new questions every time a trust is formed and every time a band of wealthy corporation priates bear down on the treasury with de mands for subsidies. Oregonian. THE GAMBLING EVIL. Some of the citizens of Portland seem to entertain the notion that an attempt or thought to put a stop to or a check upon gambling befits only a country town or provincial city. They talk as if gambling were a thing to be expected in every place of considerable impor tance, and even an important auxiliary to the life and activity of every city worth the name. But in fact no city is big enough to permit this vice to run riot. In the two greatest cities of the United Statee, New York and Chicago, strenuous effort is put forth and constantly maintained to minimize this vice. It is known, indeed, that the vice cannot be wholly suppressed; but the crusade against it never stops. It is at all times a lead ing factor in local politics and admin istration. The effort to suppress this vice, then, is not characteristic of the coun try vJUage. Nor is it a fruit of narrow arid Illiberal ideas, as some seem to suppose. Gambling is a pernicious vice, which all communitiess that have a moral basis endeavor to hold under restraint. No doubt certain kinds of business, certain small industries that are legiti mate, are favored, to an extent, by open gambling, for it makes money move freely in certain directions; but in the long run it can do a community no good, but oniv evil. Nothing else is no fruitful of 'general immorality; but to sav nothing of this, it is an economic waste, destructive and fright ful, in proportion to its extent. -Ore-gonian. PR AYEB-BOOK P0ETRT.

President Paul Kruger has made a statement in which, in discussing the South African war, he paid: "The Mouth African war has been on the part of the Flt.glish a perpetual defiance of the Geneva convention.

' general rising. ' "We know perfectly well that this will be impossible, because of the lack of ammunitions and arms as well as j the difficulty of the combined action i over such "enormous ditlances. Rut j the invasion demonstrated that the j Afrikanders were everywhere favorable t,- nnr eariaA and rHA.lv to afford hel p i within their power. "President Steyn and General Pewet had however a different object in view and thev attained it. They were able to obtain plentiful supplies of food and horws. Moreover these brave allies 0erated a diversion which allowed General Botha to escape from a tight position in the east of the Transvaal. They compelled the English to spread their forces over the enormous distances and to recognise the fact that the Boers were masters of the field. The results are surely not to he des- nised. The F'.nghsh cannot be masters of the two republics; they are not even undisturbed at the tape ami in Natal." Mr. Kruger next dealt with the ques tion of mines, where work is now said to have been resumed. He declared that so long as he was master in Pretoria the mines were safeguarded and vrork was continued. It is only since the British occupation that property has deteriorated and that an work has ceased. Everybody should know that as long as we could we re mained faithful guardians of this in ternational trust, carrying our scruples so far even as to respect the mines which are the cause of all our mis fortunes." In conclusion, Mr. Kruger declared that far from being exhausted, the Boer commandoes were able to go on fighting indefinitely. We have com batants, arms and amumnition in sufficient quantities. It is useless to hope to reduce ns by lassitude or ex termination." He ended by expressing thanks to Providence for the manifold complications with which the British Empire is now beset at other points of the globe which one day will compel them to release their prey. AN AGE OF SECRETS. This is an age of secrets. To be in possession of something in shape of knowledge which your neighbor does not know is a great distinction. To be able to whisper to a friend come "oa-ppt nothine" which causes the outside world to wonder, is a social virtue to be highly prized. Our wives are covered with buttons and badges innumerable. Every month hails the birth of some new "order," the secrets and mysteries of which have Been handpd'down for well, perhaps two months, from one woman to another, Everv night is "lodge night."

We are continually in their shadows. We look with amazement upon the brow of our beloved help meet and wonder how it can contain its hnrdfin so completely. We would gladly share their load, but the consti tntion bars us out and so we go on m i ennraneft and darkness. Of all the fads the "order" fad is the most ex pensive. The money paid to these institutions is sent out of ttie state, ana tne new "orders" enrich a dozen "grand nfficprs" and pass away as ouiekly as them came. Good secrets are ornaments to any mind.

Although Mars is now some time nast onnoeition and more than eighty million miles distant, he is still the most interesting object in onr evening skies; and this not so much for what m know about him. as what we imitffinR. The belief in his habitability rather strengthened thar. diminishe- hv th discoveries of recent years, but as yet incapable of proof or disproof finds iu most appealing presentation tn the niiblic mind in the idea of possi Lie signaling between men and the in habitants ol ti.e planet. Let us for the present assume that such intelligent inhabitants exist, and that the Martian canals are their work. We may then go on to consider what aiirnaline to them involves, an whether it would be mechanically nossible. At the outset we are limited to two ways of signaling by means of light, and by the electric waves of the same nature but enormously longer period used in wireless telegraphy, eince these alone, of all earthly means of communication, can pass through in terplanetary space. Of these two, light ia by far the most promising, as the unaided eye can detect a far smaller mount of energy in that form than the moit delicate instruments can in the form of electric waves. When Man is nearest ns, the earth is lmot directly between him and the hud. In conawane ice we can only we Mars at night, and his sunlit side is turned toward us. From Mars, on the contrary, only the dark side of the I urth cd U en, and that in the Therefore ina's I Martian daytime. i :,.,,,...,, i, , t-r mnA i.Ve THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR duvlight.

It seems possible, however, that beings who could con struct the Martian canals cnul 1 also make such a mirror, but once made its mounting would present still greater trouble. It would have to he set up so that its plane was equally inclined to the directions of the earth and sun, and moved by some sort of gigantic loekwork, to counteract the planet s rotation just as telescopes nave 10 ue moved on earth. To make dashes bv covering up the whole enormous structure, or by tilt ing it, seems hardly possible; but this nd could be attained b a mirror on! posed of parallel strips, like the slats of a window blind, winch could all lie turned out of their plane at once, and later uri-ugni "acK to tuace by relatively simple imt-nanism ; tne whole to be mounted in a great irame moved by the clockwork spoken ot above. No firm on earth would take the contract for such an apparatus; .nit it does not seem impossible that the human engineering of a few cen turies hence might be equal io tne task. So we reach the interesting con clusion that it is not inconceivable that men residing ou M&rs might be able to heliograph messages to us ; and we cannot denv the same anility to the Martians, 'however unlike us they may be. How hopeless the task of signaling to them would bo we can now see. What gigantic conflagration, what com bination of all the searchlights of the world, could produce a ray equal in intensity to a solid beam of sunlight a thousand yards across? How could we point them all correctly.' And how interrupt their light at will? Ke membering that these are the condi tions for sending a message from Mars and that it is much more difficult to signal in the reverse direction, we mav give up once for all the idea of any" regular commnnication between the two planets. Henry Norris Rus sell, in Scientific American. GENERAL HARRISON AT HONE. Among my library treasures are several personal letters and one charac teristic telegram signed "Benjamin Harrison." Upon the Sunday follow ing the assassination of Mayor Harri son of Chicago in 1893, I first met Gen eral Harrison at home in that tall brick house on Delaware street, In dianapolis. It was in October, and the autumn leaves and gray sky out side made the reception room seem dark and gloornv. On an easel lietween the folding doors was a picture of the first Mrs. Harrison, who had died dur ing the vear, and the portrait was draped w"ith a tiny bit of an American flag. A peacock with gorgeous leathers stood on a pedestal nearby, as if a sentinel on doty. A short, stout man entered, and when he took mv hand there was a warmth and cordiality which, judging from newspaper reports, I had not expected. He was a lonesome man, and his great, grav eves seemed to hunger for sym pathy. " As he sat down his large head and whiskers made him seem taller than when standing. His peculiar voice, but well-phrasi. i sentences were impressive. He appeared never to utter a word that was not surcharged with thought. As a thinker, his keen, analytical powers never failed him. 1 had scarcely concluded stating my mission as bn'e.'lv as possible, before he had grasped the entire situation, and gave me an affirmative answer with a deliberate nod of his head. The floor of the room was covered with furs, and ari-:ng he reflectively dug his heels in th- rugs, and tapped his toes againft the corner, as conversa tionists usually do for a last talk on the street corner. Simple, direct and yet keen, the depth of General Harri son's real nature was little understood, but his memory as an example of clean-cut, upright manhood and rugged intellectuality, is an inspiration to American youtn, and will have a high place in our nation's history.

In tho case of the United States vs. John T. 1-lnglish and the Guleondu Gold Mining company, an important decision has been rendered by Judge Bellinger, of the federal court in Port laud. The decision is adverse to the mining company, which is denied the privilege of taking timber from ground field as placer mines. The company was sued for the tim ber which was estimated on tho penal basis, making a total of ItjlMO. Only M was allowed by Judge Bellinger in his decision, wliicn was ior tne actual value of ti.e timber in the tree. This was because there had been ' no malicious or criminal purixise on the part of the defendants, as tliey believed they had a good and sufficient title to the land from which they took the timber. The two points made in fighting the case was the right ot the deletulant company to acquire such land as placer claims, and also the right to cut timber from the public domain. Judge Bellinger held that tho placer claim title was merely a subterfuge, which of course is true in regard to hundreds of F.iiHtern Oregon claims, ami that no rights to the timber accrued because of the pretense of taking the land for mineral imii in support oi inn second contention that the citirens of 'Oregon had a right to cut timber for j mining purposes, by authority of the , a( t of 1H'7S, 'which gives citizens of i Colorado, Nevada and other territories ,t10 privilege of removing timber from j pUbijc ,),,main for mining purposes, I it wl4, Hrgiud that Oregon was in- eluded, tint Judge the contrary.
