Cleeton, for Chadwell, where there will be a Re publican rally, torch light procession and an address by Mr. Cleeton. After the address a club will be organized in that precinct. An invitation Is extend ed to the general public to attend the excursion. Writing from San Francisco to his brother, Chas. Finch, of this city. Mr. Victor Finch, who is la the postofflce In the Bay City where he comes In con tact with thousands of people dally, says that everything Is politics now. Everyone wears a button and that where one Bryan button Is seen there are fifty McKInley buttons worn. His brother, who is traveling In Southern California, says that the same state of affairs exists there. Complaint was recently made to city authorities in regard to the re-shing-- llng of several wooden buildings within the fire limits. It was then proposed that the roofing be done wth a mixture of asphalt and sand and to determine whether such covering would be secur ity against fire, Messrs. Jensen & Han sen, of the Astoria Roofing Co., yester day made a teat in the presence of City Attorney Curtis, Chief Enineer Green and others which thoroughly demon strated such roofing to be fire proof, and resulted In the letting of several contracts for such work. The Rev. M. Driver in his address In McKinley Hall on Wednesday night, said: "To begin with, there Is some thing radically wrong with the nation. What la It?" The ladles of the W. C. T. U. are fully prepared to answer this question through Mrs. Lucia Addlton, The above phrase is certainly mors expressive than elegant, but Is employed because its force Is sufficient to over come its lack of elegance. It has not the prestige of a well worn saying, that has come down from generation to gen eratlon and has been accepted and ap proved by the wise of all ages, yet there is no doubt but that the originator of this proverb might safely expect that ten centuries hence it will have the Inv print of age upon It though still young and useful. It is supposed to have been originated by a Monmouth graduate though un doubtedly we might trace it back to Shakespeare, Plato, or Solomon seeing that there is nothing new under the sun. Hut however that may be. it Is sufficient that the writer has never yet seen the phrase in print and desires to pass It along to the general public that they may utilize it as they see (It, dis carding It If It proves unworthy of its calling. 'Kid glooves and no socks;" and so (he world goes. We see It In high life, we see it In low life; and It Is al all sadly conspicuous among those of the middle classes where the cardinal vir tues are supposed to flourish. We se it everyday. In our homes, on the street, in the ball room and the church. The desire to appear different, supposedly bet(er. (han we really are. springs eter nal In the American breast and as a consequence we have come to condemn1 humanity as a sham beyond hope of reform. In matlers of dress, education, horn? life, morals and religion, nvn and women array themselves In o.stly kid gloves while their lender feet are chafed and galled for the want of a sock Inside (lie unpaid-for shoe. Like (he foolish wren we (ry (o improve our appearance (o a degree beyond our cir cumstances and like her we are found out and made a source of amusement for our companions. Like our old friend Titmouse In "Ten Thnusani a Tear," we endeavor to hide the crudities of our nature and educa tion, securing as our reward the flat tery of a few, the criticism of many, and the contempt of all. In our homes we hang rich curtains at our windows, lay costly carpets on our floors, and adorn our wails with elegant paintings, while our larders are empty and our mat(resses hard. We hold ourselves out to the world as angels who have taken upon themselves for a time the Inconveniences of human form while In reality our outward life Is but a cloak for the demon who lurks within. In the house of God we reverently bow our heads and while our pastor Is offer ing up prayers for the sins of his peo ple, we rejoice over the sins we have already committed and glory In the sins 'we Intend to commit. "Kid gloves and no socks!" But the gloves will wear out, we will suffer men tal agony because of our forced aban donment of appearances, and the world will see us as we are. More than that, our own knowledge of our folly, our vision of substantial enjoyment that might have been, our contemplation of the unprepared for conditions of the fu ture, all combine to Inflict their punish ments of regret and self contempt M. f Columbia Harbor Land Co.

(See Laughlln's "lllmctalllsm page US, or Congressional Record for (he years Indicated ) 4. That legislation can keep up the price of silver. During the operation of the Illand- Alllson act (1H7S), when the government was buying 12,01)0,000 monthly, and dur ing the operation of the Hherman act (IK'.iO), when the government was buy ing 54,000,000 ounce annually, silver de clined per ounce from II. 1 to 73 rents. (Mint reports.) 5. That because silver cannot be kept at par with gold, In a "poor" country like Mexico, It must not be presumed the United States cannot keep the metals at par. This is supprealnn of the fact that alt the countries now on the gold stan dard tried to keep the metals at par and failed, one group consisting of the Combination of France, Kaly, Belgium and Switzerland. Can the United States hope to succeed alone where alt the greatest countries In the world, singly or In combination, failed? (. That gold and silver with free coinage at 16 to 1 Is the "money of the constitution." Read the constitution. 7. That free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 of gold Is the money of Jefferson, Hamilton and Jackson, Read their writings. Each knew that unless the coinage ratio approximated closely to the market ratio the un dervalued metal would not circulate and advised accordingly. S.

So long as wages do not fall, decline In prices Is an Indication of prosperity. From 1878 to l&M the savings bank de posits Increased from J802,4li0,2S8 to !1,041,07,500. This stands for surplus after wages have supported the earn ers. It Is not hereditary wealth. That seeks other banks. A non-partisan committee of the United States senate reported In 1S!)4 that In twenty-one In dustries wages were 40 per cent higher in HisO than 1800 and 60 per cent higher In 1S91 than In 1S60. The fall in farm products was due to over-production, other countries competing with the United States. j Ship Chandelery, j Hardware, j Iron vfc SttI, Groceries it Provision, ; Flour Mill Fed, Puints, Oils, ViirnUlieH.
