The Chicago convention has
nominated a very good ticket.
This convention was a combiuution
of all shades of opinions on the
money question. There were man;
very intelligent men, tout the con
vention had its share of fools. IC
was decidedly a free silver conven
tion. There was alarge attendance
of populists and free silver repub
licans as visitors. Many cham
pions of Teller were on hand to
urge his nomination. Teller is
fine man, but he is still a republi
can and had no right to expect
nomination at the hands of a dem
ocratic national convention.
Such a course would have beer
but a confession of weakness aud
would have insured defeat The
nomination of Bryan will give the
free silver element a good chance
of victory. He is an able eloquent
and conscientious advocate of silver.
i He has a clean record. His name
will instil great enthusiasm 'in the
masses. He will give McKinley
lard fight. What looked like sure
victory for McKinley a few week?
ago, is now full of harrassing
doubts to the republicans. The
populistic element has always
loudly proclaimed its willingness
to rote for a Btraight free silver
man, if the democrats would only
give them the chance by making
such a nomination. This will test
the sincerity of our populist breth
ren. The "middle of the road"
populists, who are mostly republi
cans, may refuse to support Bryan
Their action in the election will
test the sincerity of their assertions.
By nominating another ticket, they
insure ilclunley g election on
gold platform. By supporting
Bryan, who is as good a silver man
as any of them, they will have a fair
chance of insuring the success of
silver and of bringing to the coun
try that prosperity which, we are
told by the populists, would surely
come. Now is the test If they
have meant what they said, they
will vote for Bryan. If they are
better republicans than they are
free silver men, then they will put
out a third ticket and insure the
election of McKinley on a gold
platform. The result rests largely
with the populists and will proie
their sincerity or insincerity. We
will see how many of our great free
silver populists have been "talking
through their hate."
- Tec Dalles Mountaineer relates
an incident where a small boat in
crossing the Columbia was caught
in a calm and drifted under the
bow of a wood scow that was beisg
towed tip the river. There were
several persons in the small boat
who were rescued before the little
boat was socked under the scow,
except one, a very fleshy woman
weighing over 200 pounds. She
parsed under the scow its full length
and when she came out a pkiff was
lowered to take bet aboard, but ber
great weight prevented the men
from taking her in the skiff, so they
had to tow her to the shore, - and
saved her from drowning in that
way. ,
A Texas paper tars: Cyclone
Davis, who has -been stumping in
Oregon and Missouri, writes to a
friend in Sulphur Springs a letter
in which he says: "Many times
from score to a hundred demo
crats and republicans would come
to the triage at the close of my
speeches and with tears in their
eyes give me their hands and
pledged themselves to vote the
populist ticket from this on." We
think Cyclone Davis must have
drawn heavily on his imagination
when he wrote the ahnve ne ml !
a much, better impression else
where than he did in Lebanon.
While bis speech here was fine, it
did riot bring any tears that we
could discern.
According to fire statistics in
this country gasoline has caused in
the last eighteen months the de
struction of no lest than 4,445
tciiiicjii tu.i4 t u,mm
The records of the Cincinnati fire
department eliow thut 10 per rent
of the fires there are due to tunc
line or coal'ml. '-"-'A few years ago
fourteen girls were burned to death
in a Cincinnati factory by a sudden
gasoline -conflagration. Thus the
two worst fire calamities in that
city were the result of the leakage
of gasoline vapor.
No man's property is safe, and
no man's welfare is assured, where
justice is denied to the poor, or
where crime goes unpunished; no
state can prosper, however rich the
land or varied the resources, where
human rights are not respected.
If states cannot "or do nut govern
themselves justly, and accord an
equal chance to all their citizeno,
their influence in the councils of
the nation must be small indeed.

Counting in clerk hi.-e, mileage
incidentals, a member of congress
now receives a 'total of about $ 12,
650 for his two years' service, Bays
the St Louis Globe Democrat.
Daniel Wedster used to get for the
same period $3,328. The expan
sion in the pay has tit least kept
up with that in the statesmanship.
Vacation is fully upon us now.
The boys and girls of the commun
ity have it to speed in some form.
The prevailing opinion seems to be
that it is to throw awav. That is
poor notion. Better spend it
judiciously. Don't fritter it away.
Many a boy has laid the founda
tion of his future life during vaca
tion. Ex.
Thbee cay uses were sold on the
streets of Weston recently, one for
five cents, another for twenty five
cents, and another for thirty-five
centB, at poondmaster's sale.. The
Indian who used to reckon his
horses on a hundred hills as evi
dences of wealth, and grunt with
content, is no longer rich. For
lorn is the fate of the red man.
Weston Leader.
These is one thing in the Chi
cago convention that brings hope
to the country. The socialistic and
nihilistic Tillman, from South
Carolina, received but little encour
agement. He is a dangerous man
for the country. The people of the
United States are too honest, intel
ligent and law-abiding to follow
the lead of so rank a nihilist.
A ki'mbeb of populist leaders at
Chicago issued an address Monday
declaring their party would endorse
no democratic nominee for presi
dent except Senator Teller. Among
the signers are H. F. Taubeneck, of
Illinois. J. B. Weaver, of Iowa and
Martin Qninn, of Oregon.
The national flag now has 45
stars. The T3ld ones are legal, how
ever, as tbe government has a
whole lot of the old sort on band
and don't want to be "Mowed" for
a little state like Utuh, while there
is a flattering prospect for two or
three more of tbe same kind com
ing in with these hard times.
The leg'slature of Massachusetts
baa appropriated $60,000 to be used
for the betterment of the public
roads of that state. It has been
proven beyond a donbt that there
is money gained in going ahead
with theimpovement of the roads.
The Oregonian and a few of the
leading gold men of the republican
party seem determined to kick
Jonathan Bourne out of the secre
taryship of the state central com
mittee and also out of tbe party,
because be believes in the free sil
ver idea. Ex.
Jult and August are two very
i discouraging months in business
circles, and it will be more so than
lever this summer, owing to the
light crops of the country. But
we must take the bitter witb the
sweet. It will come our way bye
andbve.
The Salem Journal, republican,
is out flat-footed for W. J. Bryan
for president. Mr. flofer believes
silver to be the great question of
the day and he will thus show his
consistency by supporting Mr.
