TIIE OREGONIAX'S WAIL.
The Oregonin Bees the hand
writing on the wall. It realizes
that Oregon will give Bryan a
majority. It is already manu
facturing excuses for that event.
It must find some cause, real or
fuucied, since this paper has been
promising the state to McKinley.
The promise was made in good
faith and with the firm belief that
it would be fulfilled. The Ore
gonian can't be blamed for the
promise being broken, as the con
ditions upon which the promise
was made have been materially
changed, without its consent.
When made, the election machin
ery of Portland was in the
hands of the disgraceful Portland
ling of tricksters, and the returns
could be doctored to meet the
Bryan majority from the rural
districts. Now this machinery
has practically been taken out of
their hands and Pennoyer is mayor
of Portland and will see that a fair
count is made. So McEinley's
vote in Portland will be the actual
number cast without the usual and
necessary inflation to meet and
overcome the outside vote. So
the Oregonian hegius its wail of
defeat and its demand for an hon
est count Harvey Scott will have
an honest count but he will
alwavs wish he hadn't.
Mr. Bryan gives the political
preachers a severe rebuke in the
following: "My friends, when cer
tain ministers of the gospel de
nounce the great mass of the
people who stand behind free coin
age, when these ministers who hive
denounced these advocates of free
coinage and have taken their
places upon this side of the great
aggregations of wealth, I remind
ed them that when the Savior was
here, it was the common people
who heard him gladly the very
people whom these ministers today
call anarchists - and socialists.
My friends, when I find these men
casting their lot upon that side,
and exhausting abusive language
iu their description of the great
masses of the people of this conn
try, I feel like earing to them that
if they will take their chances
with Dives, I will risk my chances
with Lazarns."
Eanna and Piatt were the rul
ing spirits in the St. Louis con
vention. Hanna is the recognized
champion of corporations and the
sirangler of trade unions. Piatt is
the political ruler of Xew York.
If McKinley is elected, he will
one his success in the main to
theBe two gentlemen. Where will
the common people be when Presi
dent McKinley pays his political
obligations to these two gentlemen
and the corporations whose spokes
men they are? Will they be
crushed as easily as Hanna is
said to crush his employes?
The Argus says: The Oregonian
proudly published a notice a few
days ago, stating that a certain
place in Portland was money
posted to bet two to one that Mc
Kinley would carry Oregon. A
Hillsboro man telephoned down to
have the bet taken, but was told
that "the man who wanted to bet
had left town." And so the world
wags on, and the Hillsboro man
will not win the money.
It is a truth and no body de
nies, that corporations have oppress
ed, and will continue to oppress the
people. It is likewise true that
oil the corporations are backing
the election of McKinley. Is it
probable that these corporations
would so earnestly strive for Mc
Einley's election, unlese they
knew him to be their friend? Can
the corporation's friend be the
people's friend.
JL C. Watson, Esq., and Repre
sentative Smith made rousing
speeches at CrawfordsvilU, and
that precinct will give a good ma-
The United States with its
beautiful flag, belongs to the
people. No man or class of mon
can claim the exclusive right to
use the flag. It belongs to alt
alike every native-born and
naturalized citizen. We may dif
fer about politics, but the flag
waves for each of us, and for none
more than the rest. So man in
America has more reverence for the
flag and its people than has Bryan.
Hence his supporters have a
perfect right to use it freely and
they will continue to float it to the
breeze, and defend it as gallantly
as did Washington. Jackson and
Lincoln. There is no North, no
South, no Enst, no West, and he
who tries to Btir up sectional
strife in the nation is the traitor.
They who would try to restrict
its folds to one party, are them
selves the most dangerous an
archists of the nation. There will
always be two parties, but never
but one flag. Let the people
divide as to parties, but be always
as one man for the flag.
Is it good business sense for the
government to borrow gold to pay
its obligations when it has plenty
of silver money on hand? Would
it be good business sense for you
to do so? This is just what the
republican platform pledges Mc
Kinley to do. Do you believe that
is right? Do you believe a coun
try can borrow itself into prosperi
ty? Could you do o? Ex.
The Oregonian claims Oregon for
McKinley and asserts that the
vote will stand even outside of
Multnomah county. The fact is
that the McKinleyites will not
carry six counties in the state, and
the majority for Bryan in Linn!
and Jackson counties will he
large enough to offset Multnomah.
Portland Dispatch.
The erring democrats, w bo have
intended to vote for Palmer, have
become so disgusted at being a tail
to Hanna's kite, that tbey are now
outspoken for Bryan. The cry f
"anarchist" is bringing democratic
voters back to Bryan, and is a
boomerang on McKinley.
Did you ever hear of a republi
can statesman who spoke against
the remonetization of silver until
this campaign opened? So, youi
never did. Then how c-.n you he- j
lieve tbem honest when they go j
back on their professions of years? j
-Ex.
Senator Tollman is an anarchist,
according to the Oregonian, but it j
seems that his influence in the!
state for Bryan was powerful
enough to make Hanna -'run his
biggest campaigner into the
state.
The Bryan vjters in the state
can rejoice to know that the Port- j
land ring will not be permitted to .
so doctor Multnomah's vote as tot
overcome the rural majority for !
Bryan. j
"Two to one on Oregon ror Mc- j
Kinley" is a story of the past, and j
eien money is now timidly let
that Hanna can run Oregon in-j
to line for his candidate. ;
I
Hanna is running his most pow
erful speakers into Oregon. He
thinks our own productions are
too small potatoes to coax the
wily voter into his net.
Can anyone doubt that employes
are being bullied into wearing Mc
Kinley buttons, after listening to
Governor Pennoyer and Mr.
ChamberUiu?
John C. Bheehan thinks Xew
York City will give Bryan 30,000;
to 40,000 mt jority, and that the '
state may go for him. j
It looks as if Indiana would go ;
for Bryan.

COLD STORAGE FOR HUSBANDS.
Bolton's Mt HchMM to Inn to Ibe
lum IMnUa Fobs at MlBd.
The resources of modern civilization
are capable of meeting nearly all the
demands of the woman who wanta to
fro into the country for the summer
with a free mind, absolutely devoid of
care for the home she leavea behind
her. There arc, says the Rochester
Democrat and ChmnUde, storage ware-,
houses where she may safely bestow all
her house's fiiniUiunr-s, safe deposit
vaults for her valuables, places where
her dcfr, h"v cat, her parrot or her
canary can oil the comforts of a
home.
Hut in one most Important and es
sential point ui'tdcrn civilization fails
this woman. Kor it not the most valued,
certainly the tuwt i mportant and frail
est object in lu-i' orlr.-.a entourage, the
source of moro uti.tL-ty and care than
all the other &??Klcnis of her environ
ments combined, no place of safe be
stowal is provided. To her question:
"What shall I do with my husband?"
modern civilisation returns no answer.
Hh cannot take M:j uloiir. In the
3r.it place, he won't fro: in the second
place, she doesn't want him. But there
is no safe phi.? to put hiiu. She must
leave him kao-rhhiir about, entirely out
of view of his lawful irmsri'iau nnircl. the
sport of fate and buoavlor acquaint
ances, subject to all the risks a?Hiu.st
which her presence bv hui sine ordi
narily insures him. The result is that
many a woman who really needs and
deserves a long summer rest abandons
her cherished project, and the pro
prietor of some summer resort loses her
patronage.
We are pleased to learn that in Bos
ton, whence all good thuips come, this
want has been recognized, and an ef
fort that promises to be successful has
been made to supply it. A cold storage
warehouse for husbands has been es
tablished by a "refined widow lady.
who offers to contract with wivesabout
to depart for the sea shore or the moun
tains, to store then- husbands during
their absence and return them in as
good condition as vrhen received, at the
end of the season. Her establishment
has some slight restiiblauee, itmust be
confessed, to the crdinary boarding
loose of corani?r--e. out the resent
ence is only snrgcioL The great
mature of her plan is constant auper--ision
o? her elia.-pj s. Every care will
oe taken to i.-tcrij: and amuse them,
but the stricter di apline will be main
tained. No latchkeys will be allowed,
:n cuSaient eor-s of utrjwnrt assistants
i- keepers will be maintained, and, in
ae terse and significant language, of
Ue prospectors, "no funny business"
.--ill be allowed, -If
the relined widow lady" is of sum
ient age and hideousness to invite femi
iine confidence, if she has the record she
iaims as a stern and uncompromising
iionager of husbands, the notel keepers
:it the resorts frequented by Bostonese
:.;ay anticipate an unusually profitable
-nmmcr. There may be some little dif
iculty in luring a husband into this
jsylum, but once she has pot him there,
ids wife may depart for her "villi gm
tura" with a mind free from anxiety as
to bis safety.
MONOCLES IN EUROPE..
Believed tn Ban Originated tn the British
Army favorrd by Contlnente! OGleen.
In every capital of Europe the mono
cle is common enough, s-i.tr tit j; Xe'.v
Yo: '.r Wrid. It attract:; uo nutation
on the s:ret- In a row of men at a
tsieater a considerable proportion ere
snre to have it. Perhaps half the oIHt
ecrs in the tior man army wear mono,
cles. They are seen in abundance at
any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies in France arc
r'it ashamed to go among their con
stituents wearing them. A session of
the English house of commons glitters
?-ith solitary eyeglasses. The single
c-yeglass IB said to have originated
among the officers of the British army.
About the beginning of the century an
order was issued that army officers
h'uould not wear eyeglasses or spec
tacles. It was supposed that they gave
the wearers an nnmilitarj- appearance.
The order caused severe inconvenience
to many shortsighted officers, and one
of them belonging to a crack regiment
invented the single eyeglass: its use
was no contravention of the order
which prohibited spectacles and eyu,
glasses. It soon became very popular
in the armyand was afterward adopted.
On account probably of this origin the
single eyeglass is very generally worn
in Europe by army officers. It is by
some thought to give an aspect of de
termination and ferocity to the wearer,
whereas eyeglasses lend an air of
feebleness.
