COMiKESSMAX IB0 THE 1IBST DISTRICT. The Oregonian has a correspon dence touching the congressional sit uation In this district, which that paper characterized as a thoughtful contribution to the anti-Herman movement, ami which has some In terest to the readers of the IxoKrF.N i.est who are urging Mr. Tongue for nomination, wherefore it Is repro duced here : To the Editor: I have Just 1 had called to my attention a communica tion signed "Commercial Traveler," In The Oregonian of the Hth lust. 1 do not care to take any issue with the writer about Mr. Hermann's rec ord in congress. It Is true, It Is Ih fore the people. Mr. Hermann life's now been in congress twelve years. That he has len in the main faithful to the IsMt of his ability, I am not disMsed to deny. Whether he has been as earnest in looking after the interests of the ieople in some other locality, might be seriously a mes tion. I notice one of his supporters claims that, through his Instrumen tallty, appropriations amounting to over $120,000 have been procured for Coos bay, where it is currently re ported Mr. Hermann's principal real estate Interests are located; that dur ing the same time only $ao,000 has been procured for the Willamette river. People who live in the Wil lamette valley are very much dis posed to question whether the com mercial Importance of Coos bay is so immeusely superior to the.eommer cial importance of the WilUtniette valley. However, without entering Into any discussion with 'Commer cial Traveler" upon that poini, I tie sire more particularly to refe to the argument that Mr. Hermann ought to Im kept in congress, because he has already beeu there so long, anil the insinuations that the other candi dates are "without experience or qualiUeation." He usks: "Do bankers turn down cashiers because of too long service?" "Do merchants discharge etlicient clerks to give place to others without experience or qualification?" "Then, why not run politics as competent, honorable busi ness men run their own businese?" "Political reform will never le wrought unless on this line." If this argument proves anything, it would prove that Mr. Hermann should be elected to congress during the re mainder of his life. If this argument had beeu in force, he never would have been there. If it is to be now in force, he will remain there as long as ho lives. It Is an argument that will grow and increase with years. It will be stronger two years from now and still stronger four years from now, providing Mr. Hermaun should remain iu congress. This ar gument has been used (or some time in Mr. Hermann's case, and seems to be the principal one used now. It Is true, Mr. Hermann last winter did not endorse the argument himself. He was willing to displace Mr. Dolph in the senate. The whole argument based on the comparison of "Com mercial Traveler" is erroneous. In the first place, bankers and merchants are not interested in the training nt bank clerks and clerks in mercantile business affairs. They have no inter est in improving the qualifications of llione outside of their employ. Whether other ieople have gtssl clerks, or whether there are other goixj clerks, is a matter of indifference to them, liut this is not true with the government and its citizens. The republic is interested in training all its citizens for public duties, in In ducing bright, artive and intelligent men, in fact all of its citizens, to take part iu political affairs, to discuss po litical principles, to rUtend political gatherings, to lake purt in the nomi nation of men for political offices, to take part iu elections, aud to thor oughly acquaint themselves with public affairs, with public principles, the differences ami distinction be tween parties, and to have a thor ough understanding of the principles which underlie our government, and to equip themselves for public duties. This can 1 done only by opening to competition places of public honor and public trust. This is the principal argument in favor of a republican form of govern ment. Iet it be understood, that, as soon as a man gets into a public of fice, if he deuxans himself fairly well, he must be kept there for life; that all the efforts of his jsiliticnl party wi'l lie to secure his constant re election, and a great deal of the in terest in public questions and public affairs would die out. Certainly, the public has more interest in train ing all of its citizens than a baitk or a merchant has for training other peo ple to become clerks. Again, the assumption of "Com- mercis! Traveler" that the other ap plicants for Mr. Hermann's place are "without cxjs'rlence or qualification" Is equally wrong. It is not absolute ly necessary that a man should have served two terms in congress to have "experience or qualification." A man may not have held office, and yet have been as thoroughly con versant with public affairs, with prin ciples of political parties, with the means of securing good government, with the legislation needed for the welfare of the country, as if he had been in congress. No man talked of for this position but what has given as much attention to public matters and questions that are now occupy ing the public mind as Mr. Hermann has. Most of them have had legisla tive experiences, which are valuable only to one who is thoroughly ac quainted with public questions in giving a knowledge of legislative machinery. Tongue and Miller have each served four years, and Brownell two years in the Oregon senate. Oeer, Ford and Trultt have already served more or less In the hcuse. All of these men are thoroughly conversant with the public questions that have been pressing for solution before the people of the United States for sev eral years last past. All have taken active part in the campaigns, they have had to discuss these questions before the people, have had to treat them thoroughly and in an intelli gent manner, so as not to expose themselves to the attack of political enemies. In this particular they have had more experience than has Mr. Hermann. The present finan cial and tariff questions were but lit tle discussed before Mr. Hermann was elected to congress. He has con tributed but little, if anything, to wards the discussions of those ques tions iu any campaign. No public speech of his has been either copied or quoted, or facts taken from it, by either newspapers or stump speakers. In his own election, men like the above-named have had to right the battles and win the victories, the fruits of which he has enjoyed for the past twelve years. In doing this, they were naturally led to make a close study of public questions, not merely a sufficient study to iuform themselves how they ought to vote, but in order to explain aud convince other peoplu and win votes and the support of the principles they espoused. The principal questions liefore the American people- to-dny are finance and tariff. Isn't each one of these gentlemen as thoroughly acquainted with these questions as Mr. Her man n? Have they not given as much thought to them? Are not they to-day as well prepared to acl upon them as Mr. Hermann? It seems to me no well-informed person will deny this, and no one but a blind partisan will chargo that these gentlemen are "without experience or qualification." Washington county herself has a candidate for Mr. Hermann's place. The republicans of this county wot .d repel the insinuation that he is "without experience or qualification." They will resent the imputation that in ability to perform what nn pub lic duties might require he is not the leer of Mr. Hermann, or any other public man within the state of Ore gon. .And their opinion on this sub ject will lie sincerely indorsed by many thousand citizens of this state who have listened to his discussions of public questions. He has contrib uted as much as any one man in the state of Oregon towards securing the elections of Mr. lit rmsnn to congress, and to tli.' swelling of his majorities. It is not a kimliy remark for any friend of Mr. Herniaun's to make, that he, with other candidates, is w ithout "experience or qualification." The republicans all over this state will rcM-til this insinuation. Kerping More Wiudo Free From Krot. In large stores a great deal of trou ble Is sometimes caused by frost forming on the plate-glass windows. In Chicago the electric fan has been put into service to avoid this condens ation of moisture. The fans are kept going continuously and the current of air seems to carry off the moisture before it can cond nse and freeze on the glass. It Is a new version of the old ventilation cure for the same trouble. (ion. Gomez, the Cuban insurgent chief, seized a telephone wire a few days ago, rang up the nearest village, and gave it an hour to surrender. Bt-fore the time expired his demand was complied with.

It ia not generally known, even in California, that millions of dollars are annually taken from rude heaps of base-looking quartz by the flowing of water over huge piles of broken rocks that contain the precious metal. The process of robbing the earth of Its gold has now been reduced to such a fine point that the gentle flow ot water over the ore gleaus it of its golden treasures, and this works well In rases where the old chloride and other methods are not so useful. The water used by the miners In bringing gold from piles of mineral bearing quartz is charged with a simple chemical, which has the po tency to dissolve gold and hold it In solution. The sparkling liquid, w hich flows over hundreds of tons of quartz, trickles through the mines and seeks its level, laden with gold, is charged with a deadly poison, cya nide of potassium, a drug which fer rets out the minutest particles of the yellowish metal, and dissolves them and brings the precious burden to the vats lor conversion Into refined gold again. The cyanide process is as noiseless and unerring as the laws of gravita tion. The method is based on the fact that even a very weak solution of cyanide of potassium dissolves gold and silver, forming, respective ly, auro-potasslc cyanide and argen-to-potasslc cyanide. The solution is separated 'from the solid mineral, and the gold and silver are precipi tated in metallic form. During the last Ave years the process has been introduced into almost every gold field in California and elsewhere, and more than 920,000,000 has lieen re covered by the gentle flow of the waters charged with the magical chemical. Precipitation is effected by the use of fine pieces of zinc, so arranged that when the rich waters flow over them the fine gold clusters in rich deposits over the zinc, for which it has an affinity. The gold deposits itself in the form of fine dust on the plates of zinc. 1 BAKE BIT OF MISTEU (HOLD. Unless you are a numismatist of unusual knowledge you would prob ably not pay much attention to the pale gold coin which Postmaster General Wilson frequently wears ss a pin on the scarf which covers most of his shirt front. But if you are an expert and enthusiast on the subject of rare and antique coins your eyes will sparkle with pleasure at the sight of that scarf pin and possibly your fingers will tingle with vague kleptomaniac impulse to grab it and run. For the expert will recognize in the pale gold disk an example of one of the most perfect and most beautiful wins ever struck. And if you are allowed the privi lege of a close Inflection you will discover that this particular specimen has had preserved in every detail the exquisite beauty nf design and finish imparted to it by classic nrtists and artificers, whose brains and hands crumbled to dust so long ago that it makes one feel in a dream just to think of it. For that coin or the del icate yellow of the cactus bloom, per fect as when it was tossed from the stamper's hand, was minted while the matchless eloquence of Demos thenes still ravished the ears of the Athenians and fired their pulses, and bears the efllgy of him against whom the Attic orator burled his fiercest Invective Philip of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great. The coin is a gold stater of Philip, noted among numismatists as one of the most perfect and beautiful ex amples of the coiners' art the world has known in the twenty-two cen turies that have elapsed since it was struck by command of the founder of the Macedonian empire. No coinage has exceeded or even equalled in fineness of design and execution that ol Philip, strange as this may seem to those who regard. the modern world as so vastly superior In almost every way to the ancient. The gold which Philip and most of the Greek states used in their coinage was known as elect ruin, consisting ol about one-fifth part of silver, which imparted to it that exquisite shade of vellow which is one of its chief charms to the eye. The profile head of Philip on the gold stater, crowned with its delicate laurel wreath, is as clear in outline as if cut in cameo, while the chariot and steeds on the reverse are charming examples of classic art in design and workman ship. The intrinsic value of the gold in the coin is about f, but the value of a piece of such vast antiquity, so per fectly preserved, to the antiquarian and coin collector it would he diffi cult to estimate. Another point about the Macedonian coin Which greatly increases Its value in th eyes of the antiquarian is .the fact that Philip was the first king wHo ha4 the arrogance to pat his own tffigy on money. Previously, so far known, tha coins of the Gnatla aJ the Orientals bad borne tha tJRflei of their gods or my thobsjktjl , or rather religious deVMSjaoi bob. But Philip In Greece, as Caesar in liome, thrust the gods aside and stamped hi own proud ami conquer ing head upLii his coins. But while the temporary enemies of both Philip and Caesar Included this among their counts In the Indictment for bound less ambition and impiety brought against them, the Greek aud lloroau population made It all right by con veniently discovering that the two conquerors were really not men at all, but gods in their own right. It is probable that another colu similar to that which Postmaster. General Wilson wears as a scart pin does not exist In this country outside of a museum. It was presented to him by a friend, who picked it up at a sale In Paris. Of its genuineness there was no doubt, for when Mr. Wllsou was in London last year he took it to the experts at the British Museum, who pronounced it authen tic and tried hard to buy It, but nothing could induce Mr. Wilson to part with it, not alone because it was presented to him by a very dear friend, but because, like most classic al scholars, he has a deep love for the "glory that was Greece," anil this rare bit of minted gold carries him back to the most luminous era of th beautiful and wonderful Greek civili zation which still glows for the stud ent like au unfading dawn behind the mints and glooms of overlapping centuries. Pittsburg Post. ASECUOTKS OF M.UKKADY. Henry Howe, the old actor with the Irving eorujtany, and the oldest In point of service on the stage, was a classmate of John Bright. They were both Quakers. Mr. Howe was not quite so sedate a young Friend as his classmate, who went to parlia ment and became a great figure iu English politics. Howe was a protege of Macready. He tells many a good story of the great tragedian. "The story Is told of Macready," be said, "that once, at a rehearsal of the banquet scene in Mai;beth, the "First Murderer," in spite of Ma cready's adjurations, persisted in walking down to the center of the stage and thereby entirely hiding "Macbeth" from the audience. The tragedian impatiently called, for a carpenter, a brass-beaded nail and a hammer. The carpenter came. Do you see that plank there? Drive a nail into that spot.' It was done. 'Now, you, sir,' (this to the "Mur derer",) 'look at that nail. Come down to that 8Kt, not an inch further, and wait there till I come.' Mr. Utility did as he was desired, and Macready' mind was easy. Night came, and with it the banquet scene. The "First Murderer" enters, walks down the stage, stops sudden ly, then turnaround and round, ap prrently looking for something he had dropped. The audience ticgan to titter. Macready stalks to the man's side. 'In heaven's name, what are you aliout?' '.Sure, ex claims the "Murderer," ain't I look ing for that blessed nail of yours?' "Harley used to tell one on Ma- cready's trip to America. According to Harley, once when Macready was playing 'Hamlet,' the 'Guildenstern' would insist oncoming too close up. to him and hiding the star's face from a part of the audience. To keep him off Macready asked, 'What, sir, you would not shake hands with Hamlet would you?' "Ouildenstern" replied, 'I don't know. I have shook hends with our president.' " Atlanta Constitution. Haw the Sew Photography was IMsrevered. Roentgen's first experiment con sisted, in placing near a Crookes tulie, which was enveloped in black pasr or pasteboard, a screen whose surface was charged with a fluorescent sub stance. On exciting the Crookes tube, the surf ice of the experimental screen became luminous. A book of a thousand pages placed between the tube and the screen, but the luminos ity persisted. Wood and aluminum were also tried with like result, and It was found that If the hand were interposed the image or shadow of its osseous skeleton was obtained on the fluorescing and luminous surface. To try the effect of the newly discovered rays upon a photographic plate was but natural. It was tried, a photo graph through an opaque screen re sulted and the discovery was com plete. This account dispones of the story of the discovery having lieen made accidentally. His lasor. Husband (shaving) Confound the razor! Wife What's the matter now? Vou'fe dreadfully cross temja-red.
