It goes without saying that the
Associated Press is controlled by
the Bold element of tiie country.
It is, therefore, not a bit strange
that the "sound" money demo
crats, in convention at Indianapolis,
figured so conspicuously in the
dispatches this week. ;
It is seldom we find anything
more beautiful than the solicitude
of the republican press for the wel
fare of the eoldbue democrats.
The convention at Indianapolis
this week was more fully reported
than that of St. Louis or Chicago.
The gold dem. is surely a loving
brother of the yellow colored Rep.
Th Oregonian was indignant
because Mrs. Bryan evinced
lively and intelligent interest in
her husband's canvass. It thinks
in this particular csBe that woman
work is not in politics, and, yet it
is urging the republican women of
the country to organise in order to
elect McKinley, and is praising
them for the great interest tney
take in sound money, high tariff,
etc. The Oreeonian's opinions are
only photographs of its changing
purposes, and it is consistent only
in its inconsistency.
' Tai several railroads of the
country have generously made a
one-fifth rate to all parties number
ing over forty, who will visit Hon,
Win. McKinley at his home in
Canton, Ohio. Huch solicitude is
on a parity with that expressed by
the beads of the banking institu
tions. Wells. Fargo 4 Co. and other
gigantic corporations that have the
welfare of the laborer at heart, by
sending him a larger bundle of
congwsional records goldbug
neachea. It is unnecessary to
state that the laborers almost with
out exception, smell a mice.
A bio battle is likely to occur in
the Kentucky courts over the time
honored democratic rooater, as the
sold standard men -have served
v notice that they will insist on hav
ing the rooster for their device
printed on the official ballot used
in the November election. They
assert that Bryan, being the
nominee of the populist, cannot
legally have his sam put on the
democratic rooster, 'lbe silver
democrats say that 4he gold men
are bolters, and that they will fight
' them to the bitter end in the courts.
The gold men declare that Bryan's
name ought to be placed under the
populists emblem, the plow
Li Hung Chaho, the great
Chinese statesman, now in this
country, is' of humble origin and
owes none nf his distinguished
t,nnnm tn' th aiuiilflnt nf birth,
His father was a poor woodchopper
of the interior of the empire and
his mother before her marriage
was a maid-servant Not even the
merciless caste distinctions of the
Orient could Prevent his rise to
greatness. It if said that Li's
quick, cold, black eye, ready smile,
and imperious frown give frequent
reason to doubt whetuat, as in the
case of President Krugert of the
Transvaal, . his ignorance of the
English language is not a diplom
atic deception. Ex.
Mb. Paoue says disappointment
is felt in the yield of grain. As a
rule the groin crop (wheat and
oats) failed to reach the average.
Many are of the opinion that the
crop amounted to about two-thirds
of an average. Indications point
to a large grain crop next year.
For some lime summer fallowing
has been going on. Many farmers
are prepared to seed their next
year's crop. In Marion, Washing
ton and Yamhill counties there
seems to be more summer-fallow
than at this season last year. This
season has been unusually good
for the corn; there have been more
warm nights than is common for
Western Oregon. Potatoes, garden
truck and pastures have improved.
Potatoes are frae fiomblight except
icjoffiiioctiousofih foit coun

Tus republican gold press all
claim that MoKinley's election is a
sure thins, and -ridioule the post-
bllity of Bryan getting even a re
spectable vote. Yet, m every issue,
these papers tell of the scarcity of
money, the closing down of
factories and the great depression
in all lines of business. They at
tribute all of these evils to the fear
of Bryan's ' election. Such incon
sistency was never excelled by
even this unscoupulous press.
They try to instill enthusiasm in
their wavering forces by proclaim
ing the certain eleotion of Mo-
Kinlev: and in the same issue.
they tell their readers that the
country is going to the dogs De
cause the country thinks that
Brvan will be the next president.
Either they don't believe McKinley
will be elected, or they don't have
much faith in all the articles they
publish about depressed business
Thk Indianapolis convention
has placed in the field Palmer, of
Illinois, and Buckner, of Kentucky,
as candidates for president and
vice-president. The convention
was composed of gold standard
democrats, who oppose Bryan and
Sewell. They claim to represent
the true democracy. They are
really the republican wing of the
old democratic party. They do
not hope to elect their ticket, but
hope to draw enough votes Irom
Brvan to elect McKinley. lbe
men on the ticket are personally
very good citiiens. They are back
numbers in politics and too old for
regular service. They may enjoy
without being enued, the little
honor in this position. It is doubt
iful whether this new ticket will
help or injure McKinley. It will
not get over fifty votes in Linn
county. .Politically, the ticket is
unworthy a single democratic vote,
and no true democrat will do any
thing to help it.
Maj. McKinley's letter of ao
ceptance is a worthy document and
reflects credit upon the writer. He
deals with the questions of the day
in an open and fair manner. He
baa softened his yiews on high
tariff, to suit the growing senti
ment of the country. This manly
letter is in marked contrast to the
schemes of his manager, Hanna
and his Wall street supporters.
McKinley is by far too good man
to fall into the company ofanch
heartless robbers, and to Of By
them dictated to. If such a mis
fortune should befall the country
as McKinley's election, it is to be
earnestly hoped that he will cut
loose from the clutches of Hanna
and his combines, and give to the
country an administration in ac
...v
cord with McKinley's own ideas
'..j ...A ;), thnu nf th
mob that is openly raising thous-
and of dollars and as openly using
it to influence voters. This is an
instance where a very good man
has fallen among very shrewd
manipulators.
' Frisky Lightning.
Junes Carlton's house, three miles
eaat of Weston, was struck by
lightning last Monday morning at 2
o'clock. Mr. Carlson waa Sleeping in
a Unt near his house, and was
