'Chips. ' "' Tbe republican bosses find it both tire Borne and troublesome to get Ubed to Mr Roosevelt's carefully eultiiutcd habit of doing the unexpected, but thuy are no1, reariy for a row vot. Why Mr. Roosevelt wanted to Bhoot more ducke when Washington is full ol political lame ducks tbat be ia expected to look out for is too much for us. " General "Pull" IB still ia command at Washington, notwithstanding tbe official announcement some time ago trial he would be retired and be succeeded by General "Merit." Ex-Queen Lil ie making her way to Washington by easy stages, She didn't get invited to eat Thanksgiving day din oer at the White House, but Christinas is coming. British merchants claim that there is O secret BUgar trust In Germauy that is deliberately ruining the sugar trade everywhere. Well are not trusts orga nized to ruin every body's busineBj but their own? The rich American snobs an.l toadies are overlooking a bet. Now that King Edward haB'made it impossible for them to buy tickets forjl.ia coronation, why un not a bunch of them toss a few millions into London and get Tip a rival show that will mako the "coronation look like pewter dime? Republican governors of the slates in terested have not boerj',falling over each - other in their eagerness t accept tbe in vitation of the Governor of Minnesota to bolp hiin fit; h 1. 1 ho big railroad trust. 1h anybody afraid? The republican boasts by stifling re publican'aontiment lor.tariff revision are making;flret-clas8 democratic amniuni tion. One good term may deserve another, but it won't get'it in Georgia, il the pro position to limit the governors of the State to one termhe adopted. The officlaljcount in Maryland gives the democratic majority ol fifteen on joint ballot In the legislature. Good morning Senator Gorman. Maryland hsB never given the country u candidate for Paesident, but two of its eonc Schlcyfand Wo'inar. are in line Presidential possibilities As scrappy as Mr. Roosevelt is reputed to be, he was compellej to run ay from the horde at office-seekers in Wash ington the otker day. Mr. Roosevelt has promised to aid in securing the reonactment ol the anii ebineaelan, but the Bleainahip com. prudes, are stillflghting reenaclment '.n every way they know how, and thev know alotolwnya to "persuade" l.'oi gr 8 men, Iiulian Commissioner JoneBhas stirred up the boneilciaries of the Indian ring by strongly attacking the present policy of tbe government toward the Indians, and showing tbnt the enormous expendi tures have been productive of little good to the Indians. True, Mr. Jones, but think of themillioiiaires that have brn made by "pickings" from those exrendi lures. Miiyor-elect Solh Low, it findli.g out that "reformers" are as persUteit in their demands for political spoil as the professional bcoIIb tnanconld poaib!r be Let tlie republicans in Conres dodge tbe tariff revision question by the ap pointment of a tariff commission it thoy dare, Nothing would mako more ei rain the election ol a democratic majority of the House next year. There is still Biioh a thing as friend Bhip. Hon. Isidor Rajner, who was sohley'e chief counsel, doclineJ to ao oept a lee for his Bervuei, raying that 1c bad been a wok of love with bin.. The Biugeat of All. Mr. Morgan's transportation Titan Hit Northern Securities Compnny is in taut lamer by fM.OOO.OOO than his billion dollar Bteel colossus. It carries $1,082, 000,000 ol bondB and Blocks, as against the steel coloesus's load of $1,018,000,000. Therefore the giant which Minnesota auu Bureral neighbor States are planning to deprive of its legal life ib the laigest corporate "person" in the world. ThiB is not the flrBt time that several States have united to give battle to a corporate giant who threatened to prove too much lor anv one of thorn jiogly. This Titan jwae preceded by a little gian' constructed cy J. J. Hill out ol several Notbwestern railways. Minnesota, Nortb Dakota, Montana and Washing ton joined lorces and attacked and de. stroyed it. If the Titan son Is apparent ly stronger and craftier than its father, so aleo are tbe combining States appar ently more aroused and more resolute. But the general interest at present lies In the fact that these Northwestern States have pointed the way to a regula tion of interstate monopolies without re signing control of their in'ernal com merce and without centering at Wash ington the trust problem, and so perhaps creating a corruption more menacing than any which now exists. If tbe peo ple of several States have identical in terests iu certain matters, why should t1 ey not compel their Legislatures to pass identical laws as carefully drawn as the subtle charters of interstate corpora tions? World. John Erbey, of New Brunswick, N. J., advertised some time ago lor a wife. Hia requirements were so hard blB friends doubted ii be would te succceBsfnl in gelling any woman to answer. He wanted a wife who is young, pretty, of good education, strong and healthy, and who hesiplO.OOO incaab. Themoneywac to be invested alter marriage in a farm, Bl:e to he satisfied with the purchase be fore parting with her money. Erbey was married Sunday. The bride's name was Florence Roebr and her home is at Bath, Pa. Erbey when eeeu last eveoing said tbat bin bride an swered all the requirements of bis ad vertisement and more, tco. The couple are living at New Brunswick for the present. Erbey. refused to allow his wife to be interviewed, They will set about' purchasing the farm lu a few days. Tho fools are not all dead yet. Forty I young unmarried mo- of Geneva, N Y., ! nirt and oiuan r,ed the Hi"k Bern Oiub. I Tlie object ot the oluD is in.ttrimonv.

MISFITS Mr. Brouee, aged 79 and Mrs. John son, aed 811, were recently married at Independence. May they have a long and happy life together. Two Brooklyn telephone girls have just been married to young men ho wire charmed by their voicai over the wire. Telephone girls everywhere reaJ ing this wiil begin worn with new cour age. Ex, It is said that liquor ia sold to minors continually in some of the saloons of the city. There is Utile doubt tbat the Ward boy got the liquor which caused him to (1 j the recent stabbing, in one ol the saloons. Of ail things this should be stopped if possible It is against the law to even allow a minor in a saloon. Albany's push club ie all right.' It io polled ALCO, and it means, Albany Lino County, Oregon. We are pushing for Albany, for Linn ounty and for Oregon. There is nothing small about our push club. Albany Democrat. If the Aleo Club ia "pushing for Linn county," it cat find a good field in which to spend some of its energy in the completion of the Linn county wagon road to the Blue River and Oalnpooia mines. This iB one object wherein the. Aleo Club can assist to the great and lasting benefit of tbe whole of Lina county. Browneville Times . RAITS. You can't most always sometimes tell how a man will vote after hearimr him talk. There is no duty on the wool tbe candidate pulls over the eye of the voter. Fish as a brain food need to have a pre tv gotd brain to start on. Groat mi iJb Jo not run in the Bame channel on emotion day. A man has to put up with a good deal in this world on elect ion day. Women who pose an fashion plates on Bmall incomes generally break their huBbands. Some people high up in the social scale are too light to bring ttie aculo down. The small boy cannot vote but he is on hand when tbe elec tion returns point toward tbe nearest confectionary store. GRAFTS. The. woman who has to run after a man to catch him is generally sorry for her bargain. The funny comments on the trip up Sail River are worth all the trouble of running for office. Oongratulatiug a newly married couple is Berious business. Sometimes sympathy is the proper thing. Tbe failure to keep election promises generally face a man at some time in bis after life. Igncrance is the curse of the world. There wouldn't be much dancing if it wasn't for the hugging. The merchant who would give twenty cents worr.li of goods for a dollar re ceived would Boon loose hia business, but that is what the Dewey gambling machine does. TELEGRAPHIC. Sudden Death The Herald Bays the Democrat with held Mr Carothers letter until alte election. This is not true. The letter was brought in jiiBt as the paper was going to press o i election day too late lor that day. Toe man who will sign h B name to his communication and not hide under the unial anonymous signa ture can say almisf novthing he pleases iu the columns of the Dkm iciiat. From Ihe World. For a backwoods Thanksgiving "tur key Bhoot" a big bird is tied .by one leg aud rival maraeruen fire at it from a dis tance. As they "get the range" the blood-dabbled turkey, crazed with pain and madly trying to fly, Bucceeds only in prolonging its own mieory and the "'us'' ol itB tormentors until some rifleman I winB his dinner by a fatal shot. I On Friday a party of New Yoraers who I ought to know and do better will set a I pernicious example by participating in a i "live pigeon Bhoot." Hundreds of birde after being cooped up for days will bs re leased for living targets. Those will be fortunate that fall at the first shot or are bagged by "pot-hunters" out of boundr. There will be many to drag themselves away with broken legs or wings, to die after days ol agony. Tbe "turkey-Bhoot" Is ernelty retail; the "pigeon-shoot" is cruelty wholesale, without the excuse of ignorance and primitive conditions. Ecoe.ne, Or,, Dec, 4, 1901.

Yesterday and today passed uneventfully at Colon and Pana ma. Both Liberals and Conservatives are gradually resuming their customary intercourse and fraternizing with each other. There iB no undue boasting on the part of the victo's, nor ill-concealed hatred on thj part of those who eympa hizi with the vanquished. Conseqent ly there have been no .disturbances or unseemly behavior. Burned Alive Altoona, Pa , Dec . 2.

In the former court, through Chief Justice Ful ler, held that the diamond rings brought in from the Philippines and over which the case arose, should have been exempt from duty under the Paris treaty of peace, as that treaty made ihe Philip pines American tarrltory.

The duties on ini porta ging in ojt bePhilippineB under the Spooner amendment will remain Ihe same as fixed by the Philippine Commis sion and approved by tbe Secretary of War which went into effect about six weeks ago. It is probable that an effort wiil be made to confirm that tariff, as it meets the approval ol tithe Administra tion, when any Philippine legislation the pre ent Philippine tariff will be en forced. Good Riddance. New York, Dec. 3. In an interview with Richard Croker, the Evening PoBt today quotes the Tammany lead, r aa saying: "You won't see much more leading on my part in the luture.

The Chroni cle says a big combination of the red wood lumbermen of the Pacirlo Coast ie in course of formation.

Crime's Waterloo. ( '''ie followinu by Lillian M. Heath is handed the Democrat by an old sub scriber for public t ion.) The heart or a imuhty nation stood still in sore dituj&y, At tbe deed of tbe assassin, that fair September day; And the sound ol muflled drum beats tb6 tol-mn echoes woke. Through ihe awe-struck silence fallen o'er town and country folk. As tbe form of the murdered ruler was lendrrly laid to rest, Old wrangles were forgotten love's man tle, aye, is beBt And foe met foe as comrade, once more ' in tbe hour ol grief, Wben a nation bowed in Borrow too deep for tears' relief. But hark 1 Through tbe sacred silence a barsh, discordant jeer I What voices are thus heedless? What sounds and lights are here ? 'Tis tbe open, mocking bar-room tbe traffic that caowe no reBt, Where anarchy, brazen-featured, flaunts . Bhameless, self-confeeBed, Yes, merrily clinked tbe glasses, despite tbe nation's woe, 'Twas the fruit of a lawful system ; the people would have it so. But tbe busiest marts deserted in rever ence silence stood, Save anarchy's boasted refuge the menace to all thingB good, O, sons of America, rally ! Resolve,. with a clearer view, That the tyrant, so long triumphant,. shall find hie Waterloo! Let the nation stricken with sorrow be the nation, purified, Till merci nl, righteous atatutea in all' the laud, abide. First rouse to the sternest action, then welcome the dawn of peace, First coDs,ua? the mocking traitor, then rest, lor the strife shall cease. Like a mighty, thundering torrent it echoes tbe cry of doom, America's voice commanding, to aaarchy and the saloon : "Dowatdownl to oblivions darkness! Ie-nothingness where you belong! Ko part have you in the mourning no part in the new lile songl And up with tbe Law's white banner, of government high and pure. Crime's carnival ends in downfall, Truth's victory shall endure." 'Tis dawning! Tbe day when the empire ol the monster wrong shall ceaBe, Wben tbe lips of patriots, joyous, shall tell of the wondrous peaoe That came when people's edict changed mid aiglit into noon, And crushed, at once and forever, the anarchy-breeding saloon.

Chinese Affairs. rEKiN, jjbc. a. uninefle omcials say tuut bun uppuiuvuieai, oi a new neir ap parent to the throne will be delayed no til the Emperor can discuss the question with leading men. The imperial edxt deposing Pu Chun, sonof Prince Tuan, the author of the Boxer troubles, is gen erally considered as the strongest proof yet given of the sincerity ol tbe Empress" haning toward reform. When a wbale is washed ashore in the wild parts of Australia the natives rush upon tbe oareass and proceed to have a Thanksgiving dinner. They eat until they drop unconscious. As soon as they come to they tall upon the carcass again, and so on until when the hovering vul turoo venture to descend tbey roost gloomy Bud empty upon tbe skeleton ol tbs whale and reflect witb sad satire up on tbe grosB habits of the lords and la dies of creation stretched about ia a snoring stupor.
