.-'. Bird Coler'a Position. From llie Wu.nl. Bird S, Color, democratio candidate for Governor, in li ie speech at tlm Tilden Club formally accepting the nomination lata night made thia declaration of Ins at titnde toward the plank in the platlorm demanding Government ownership o the coal minea: "la reepect to the suggestion in the democratic platform that Federal owner ship ol the anthracite coal mines may be found necessarvto the public Interest, f must bs eulirely Irank. My view of all tuch questions ie that before the Govern ment ia called upn to assume the respon sibilities of ownership the power oi reg ulation should first of all be honestly and thoroughly tested. I furthermore be lieve that Slate regulation and control of corporations of Its own creation should. ' whenever possible, be preferied to the concentration of ouch power in the bands of the Federal government. "There has been no aucb test thug far in the matter of the anthracite coal mines. The laws on the statute books haye not been enforced; the power of Congress to protect the people against monopoly has no, by any meaus been exhausted, and, on the other hand, the taxing powers of the National Govern ment have been grossly abueod through the Republican protective tariff in favor ol the Goal Trust. "One ol the Orel remedies at band, in my judgment, is the reviBion ol the tar IB which would put coal of all kinds on the free list. If this were done we would be no longer at toe complete mercy of the anthracite monopoly. Competition, the safeguard of tbo people against the extortions of monopuly, would be in sured, "To tariff reform there should be added not only vigorous enforcement of the laws at present on the statute books, but the employment of every powor latent in both the national and state legislatures. If, however, when these stops are taken it should appear that the evil still sur vives, thore should be no hesitation in adopting Government ownership as a means of preventing a recurrence of the present deplorab.o situation in Pennsyl vania. Tlio proposition practically ad vanced by eomo critics of the coal plank in the democratic platform that the peo ple of tho country aro belpleeB to preyent the widespread Buttering attendant upon a deprivation ol their wintor fuol is ab horrent to common sens' and repugnant to the fundamental theory that the Gov ernment exists for the benOt ol the peo ple." Public Debt of United States. O. P. Austin in North American Review. It is worth whilo, beforo entering upon a diBcuBQion of this debt nud its biBtnry, to compuro briefly present conditions With those of former periods, and also with those of o'.hor countries. On Aug nst31, 18(35, when the national debt made its 'high water mark,' tho total intorest-boar lug debt stood at $2,331, 530,201, the annual interest charges at 150,077,097, tho debtlese cash in the Treasury at $2,750,131,571, the per capita at $78. 25, and tho per capita interest charge at $1.20. Thus the debt lesj cash In the Treasury is now about two-flltliB what it wob at the olose of tho Civil Wo i, the annual Intoroet cbargoleai than one fifth, the per capita debt, about one sixth, and the per capita interest about ono-twelltb of that of 1805. Comparing our debt with that of other Countries, it may be said in general (arms that the Interen-bearlng debt o' the United Stales is loss than that of Austria-Hungary, Australia, India or 8naiu : about half that ot Italy ; one- third that ol Russia or the United King dom, and one-Ull h that ol France ; while the per capita Interest charge againBt the United Staled notional dob' is below that ol any of tho principal countries of the world except Germany, China and India, being but one-third that of Rus sia, one-sixth that of the United King dom, one-ninth one' aixteoiith that ol France. No other coun try floats a 2 por cent bond, while prac tically one-ball ol the Interest-bearing dobt of the United StnteB now elands at 2 por cent, and tbcBe (counties are tell ing in the open market at a premium o; 8 por cent. Securities ol the principal European nations are, in most cases, la med at from 3 to 10 per cent below par, whilo those ot the Uuited States are in- varlblv issued at or above par. Another feature In whioh the debt of the United StateB differs from that of certain other nations ie, that all the obligations (ex cept the "greenbacks") are redeemable at a fixed date, and that the policy of the Qovornmont it to oanael all Us obli gations as rapidly as practicable. With eertaln other governments a considerable part ol the national obliga tions are classed as "permanent debt" without date for redemption, the avowed policy being to merelr meet the Interest for payment ol the principal, which ia considered a permanent indebtedness."

W, 0, Brown of Dallas, boido time ago Slated that if bops reached 25 .cents, be would scatter $100 in nickles in Polk county for the children of the county to scramble after, and next Saturday he will keep his word, In view ol the fact that the 23 cent mark haa been reached . It will be a great day for the klde of Polk but it will not be surprising if there ''are not several exhibitions of foot ball in the contests that will follow. Bere is a Btartling application ol the "water cure" treatment. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad Company with a capital Btock of 875,000,000, baa baen reorganized thus : Tho $75,000,000 of stock have been displaced by $-402,500,- 000 of stock and bonde, and cash invest' ment of more than $75,000,000 tan been superseded by an investment "f only $20,' 251,000. This stock jugglery has been accomplished bv means of a now com pany, which was used as a dummy. Ex, The Democrat has heretofore referied to a new novel, Hazel 1'ierco, the oeene of which ia laid mostly in Oregon. It 1b somewhat of a freas: nature, but not onough so like the book of Mary Mao Lane to give the author a reputation. Tiie Democrat doesn't appreciate the scheme. A libertine and bad man gen erally is suddenly transformed into some what ol a saint and a fine young man of very Bteady habits, ie without any warn ing transformed into the worst kind of n raacal and ingrato. There may be oc casionally some of that in life, but it ia doubtful if it is found in such a striking way. It Is decidedly interesting to observe the manner In which Portland people have come to the front In favor of an ex tra session of tho legislature now that it ie aecbrlained that it would be the most effective way in which to seenre a big appropriation for the Lewie and Clark exposition, legardlees ol the enormous tux that would be loieted upon the peo ple of the state.

Eighty millions of people, most of thorn optimists, bound to see the light- eat and brightest side of whatever hsp psns, are entirely happy because the great coal strike ol 1902 Ibe greatest strike that ever happened is over. The squealing ot the speculators in Welsh anthracite and Western bltumln. oue coal, caught with large consignments of these substitute fuels on a falling market, is scarcely beard above the popular Bhout ef satisfaction. That the strike is over and that hard coal at 7 a ton ie promised within a fortnight are all that the average citiaen cares to know, And yet and yet The fundamental conditions that made this etrlke possible and brought th country so perilously near to a disaster are not changed in the loast. What ie Congress going to do to make another such crisis impossible? What will Preeident Roosevelt recommend and urge It to do. World.

Washington, Oct. 20, 1902. 1 he settlement of the coal strike, which means so much to such a large number of Americans, baa been accompliehed and Ihe people must thank Mr- Roose velt for the result. While the indica tions are that eooner or later the opera tors would bave bad to beck down from their unwarranted position, tbeir having done so now ia due to the earnest and in telllgent efforts of the Preiident. A President Mitchell remarks in bia lette accepting the arbitration commission ap pointed by the President, if the operators bad been willing to submit the matter of arbitration at the outset, and as they have cone now, there need bave been ao strike, and it i' to be hoped that the lesson of anthracite strike of 1902 will burn deep and will result in the calling in of fair and disinterested arbitrators in ail future labor difficulties. In the November bulletin of the Bureau of Labor appear speeches made to the President by the operators at tbeir first White House conference,along with a number of statistics concerning the induetry. Among other things, the statement is made over the signature of President Baer that, to the 20,270 miners employed by the Reading mines waged were paid which average $206.20 per year. From this amount muet be deducted rent and the cost of powder and oil, the assessment for company doctor etc. leaving a net balance for the miner and bis family of $148, a little over 92,76 per week. On the surface, the mlhera appear to receive good wages by me nay, one me number ol days em ployed reduces the weekly income to the figure given. If there were plenty ot miners who were willing to return to work at those wages, provided they were given adequate military protection, it is interesting to know what becomes of that abuudant prosperity which is the republican slogan and on which Mr. Hanna urges the people "stand pat." While the utmost satisfaction is ex pressed with the personnel of the arbi tration committee the president has ap pointed, it is generally conceded that the work before the commission is of a her-. culean character. Among the conten- tentions of the miners are that tbey shall bave a representative at the weigh ing dumps who shall be appointed by their union and shall be paid by the op erators. They also demand 20 per cent increase of wages and an eight hour day for the laborers, tbo present eyatem of docking, but in view of the figures it Ib not surprising that the miners believe there iB. For instance, from one colliery ol tho Delaware and HudBon, there were mined 231,328 tone of coal and the miners were paid for but 188,320. In another colliery of the Borne company the clal minnd amounted to 4'.i7,238 and the miners were paid for 414,491 tons. in an Ontario and Hudson colliery the coal mined amounted to 239,956 and the miners were paid for 239,269 tons. These figures are taken from the report of the state mine inepector. Senator Morgan of Alabama was in Washington recently and did not heel tato to state his position in regard to the situation. He said "Senator Hill ia wrong and Attornoy General Knox Ib right." Tho coal trust and every other truBt can be controlled by the common law and enactments perfectly within the power of Congress, It remains to be seen, however, if any republican major ity will dare to enact a law which will uiyo such proper power to the President or his attorney generally. Low Dressea Discussed. From the London Telegraph. - wither an amusing discussion on the subject of low dresses bas lately been carried on in the columns of a Parisian contemporary. "She knows how much it is best to show," sang the poet, but th.s does not altogether settle the ques' lion oi "aecoilelage.' One writer asks how it comes about that a woman who would deeply reaent an impertinent glance when she is taking a morning waiic can complacently make ber appear ance with bare neck and arms in thi evening. This is a contradiction for which, as must be confessed, it Is not eaey to Bod a plauaibe explanation lirv i .t ... ucuuaiage, anotner maintains, is a simple matter of climate and custom Yet the jest whioh was made over very diminutive bate might be applied to the corsage: "The makers still at this rate be soon sending only the bill," the arti cle being invisible. Another authority tells us that the first decollete gown of which mention la made In the histoiy of costume was that worn by Queen lea beau of Bavicre. The fashion was at it height at the time ot the Yalois kings and flourished again coueidsrably during tos reigns ol Louis IV and his success ors.

Satuidayh'lsjh Thoughts The absorbing top'o the past week has been tbe aet'lement of tbe big strike id Pennsylvania. It lias beeo a very im portant affair In the history of tbe coun try. But tbe trntn is, though apparent ly settled, tbe conditions which caused the strike hate not been settled, aud eves low there ar signs of a renewal of 'be disturbance. It will take eomtbl ng more than the intervention of tbe Presi dent. The situation calls for legislation of an emphatic character, and it remains to be Been whether congress will be equal to the occasion, going to the root of the trouble and digging out tbe weeds. . In Oregon a great deal bas been said abont an extra'eession of the state legis lature to secure what is alleged 'o be in tbe minds. of Borne, needed legislation. There are two factions at work for tbe session, onewbicb took the initiative, which wante law passed providing for flat salaries for all state officials, in the interest of economy and numerous other things, and the other in the interest of a big appropriation for tbe Lewis and Clark exposition. Tbe Democrat is in favor of tbejflat salary proposition bot it la very doubtful if Ian extra session of the state legislature would settle it, and the people of the state would be at a large expense; on an experiment. The general experience has been very decid edly against extraJseBsions oi either state or national. bodies. The truth is we have too muchtlegislation as it iB at tbe regu lar BeeBions, and it sometimes seems as if It would be better for the country if legislatures and congress did not meet as often bb tber do. . A study of the changes In a city in ten years is a very interesting one. it indi cates what a reBtleSB world this is in which we reside. The probability iB that if the'matter were figured out it would be ascertained that at leant half ol the people in Albany in 1892 are not here now. The same result would un doubtedly be found in all cities. It might be argued that if all remained we would aoon have a big city, but if tbe same condition'applied to all places it is easy to observe there would be no one to make the increase, as it is the average citizen is very changeable and not easily eatlsfled. For a great many people there '8 nothing in this world good enough for them, and if there is in any other it is doubtful if they erer bave the pleasure of the experience. Few people ever get what they think they are entitled to in tbie world. It ie a fact that while we are all born equal in a business, way we are not, and no where near it, nor can we be made equal by legislation or any other way. It is aDBOlutely impossible. Tbe man with the greatest executive ability or the greatest genius is tbe one who will make it. And this is only natural, not only natural bnt right. Individuality is what makes the world, and any law whieb shall seek to take away from i person his God-given rights will be an constitutional. And yet every man is bis brother's keeper and it is a duty every one owes to cast off selfishness and recognize the golden rule in every-day life. Common Sense Needed. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. I once asked a physician what oure he could suggest for tbe worrying habit. "I would prescribe common sense," -'and if a man or woman hasn't got a stock on band and cannot cultivate one the medi cal man is powerless." This worrying nonsense growB. The beBt rreaus to cure it lies in tbe hands of the woman herself. If she will just call a little horse sen Be to her aid, resolve not to borrow trouble, to be cheerful and think upon the right side ol things, Bbe will live longer and be able to retain ber beauty. Every woman has the strongest desire to keep her good looks. Why then does she take the oouree which is sure to make her yellow skinned, dul' eved and thcroughly nn lovely? The English woman is greatly admired for ber utter refusal to worry or to be worried. Consequently she looks yonng at fifty. nili taking no more tnan she can comfortably carry out, and firmly believing in the coming of another (lay she doea not procrastinate, bnt simply will ;not let tbe domestlo machinery grind her down to ill health and au early old age. She ie a frequent bather and regards health as the prime factor of life, to bs looked alter before everything else. 8h sleeps nine hours and also takes a nap during tbe dav, arranging her work in the most systematic manner Her little memorandum slip alwaya shows two vacant hours tbey are (or rest.
