Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK. Elitor - and Proprietor SENATOR TELLER'S VIEWS. Senator Teller in an interview at Denver since the election said: "I do not think the republican party will do anything for silver the com ing four years. The declaration of the St. Louis platform amounts to nothing with a limitation put upon it. Besides that, the men who dic tated the St. Louis platform are opposed to bimetallism, interna tional or otherwise. McKinley, it S9emst3 me, has shown by his speeches, that be would be the ad vocate and supporter of the gold standard on the ground that it is a better standard than bimetallism. During the four years to come I expect to see the republican, part y abandon all pretense to a desire to secure international bimetallism, and the contest will be between the gold standard supporters and the organized hosts of bimetallism. I think that four years from now the people will be sufficiently edu cated to understand the danger of a gold standard, and the party that stands for bimetallism in 1900 by the United States alone, will be successful There is no reason why weehould noUfeel encouraged. Our candidate was all we could desire, and performed his part. We must not look backward, but forward." The Oregonian has a spite against California and lets no chance slip to give ber people a dig. It even suggests that the people are wrong in their heroic Btruggle against the Southern Pacific aud Huntington. It de means the good people of Cali fornia on nil occasions, suggesting that there is a strain of low, cor rupt and even criminal blood flowing through the veins of her people. It thinks that San Fran cisco is a 1-ig den of infamy. If this estimate is correct, then Mr. ScotFought forthwith to move the Oregonian to the Chinese quarter of that city, as his surrounding? would then be congenial. His abusive insults to the silver ele ment of that Btate stamps his paper as a blackguard sheet. The timely arrival of thousands of tons of California wheat at Cal cutta has bad the effect of reducing the price of brea.lstufTs in India and has stayed the .march of fam ine. To deal with destitution arising from a lack of food in a country with a population more than three times as great as that of the United States is a hemileun undertaking which tasks not only the resources, but the administra tive ability of the Indian govern ment to the utmost. The Calcutta dispatches say that 53,800 persons have been employed upon public works set on foot purposely for the Alleviation of suffering laborers. The Oregonian generally has much to bo v on the election of senator. Why is it so strikingly silent now? A senator will be elected in a few months. Was Senator Mitchell's support of Mc Kinley the price of Mr. Scott's silence now? The great paper dearly wished for McKinley to carry Oregon. He could not carry it without Mitchell's help. Mitchell would not help unless the senator ship was assured to him. There fore the Oregonian had to swallow Mitchell again and will let hie election go by default. There is a republican club in this city which is just dying for a registry law. If this club will ap ply to Mr. Simon its members may be informed why we have not had uch a law years ago. Had there been a registry law the republican majority in Multnomah county would have been two thousand less and in the counties of Clatop, Clackamas, Marion and Washing ton another two thousand. A registry law is one of the things for which the republican managers have no use. Portland Dispatch Dwight L. Moody, the famous evangelist, has made a contract with the Ladies' iiome Journal, by which he will conduct in that Magatine a series of popular Bible sti'dies in the form of a great National Bible Class. It will lie made into a regular and perman ent department of the Journal, and is to be known as "Mr. Moody's Bible Class." The evangelist will personally lead bis unique ' Bible Class" each month in the exposition of some o1' the vital Bible truths, and will naturally appeal to a large circle ot readers. Lord Salisbury, in a receut speech in London, said the Vene zuelian controversy was now at an end, it having been settled in a satisfactory manner to all countries concerned. The fact that an arbi tration board, headed by King Oscar of Sweden, and others named by each country interested, has been agreed upon by treaty be tween the United States and Great Britian, takes the matter out of the hands of these two countries and places it entirely in the bands of the board. The mills and manufactories are starting up by scores throughout the country, but it is to be not ced that the trusts are also actively preparing to get in their work of plundering their consumers. And it is presumed that Mr. McKinley will do nothing to interfere with them. Hie tariff policy is a breeder of trusts, and it wa the trust-men who insisted on his nomination. Welcome. The decision of the supreme court in the famous branch asylum case must be accepted as good law, but it is an unfortunate one never theless. For many good reasons a new asylum in Eastern Oregon would have been desireable. Per haps it will be in order now to try- to remove the agricultural college, soldiers' home, etc., to Salem. Welcome. Mrs. Julia Bradley, an aged lady of Peoria, 111., has beBtowed the whole of her fortune, estimated at $2,000,000, for the building of a school in the town where she has lived for 80 years. The donor has been planning the erection of the school for the last 14 years, which is to be named the "Bra.lley Poly technic Institute," and is to be affiliated with the University of Chicago. A vigorous campaign in the in terest of free silver has already begun. Mr. Bryan is billed for several speeches. The campaign of 1900 hss already commenced. A vast deal of education can and will be done in four years. Mr. Bryan will be the leader of his party and be will be elected in 1900. Russia bps a submarine boat, driven by electricty, that can make 10 knots an hour. It is 19 feet long, weighs a ton, and the ma chinery is so simple (hat one man can manage it without spejitl training. It does not sink more than seven feet, and can stay two hours under water. The Oregonian heads a dispatch, "Hanna announces McKinley's policy." It would be in better taste to have Mr. McKinley an nounce his own policy. But the people recognize the fact that the latter is only proxy for the former. Ex. In the United States the per capita cost of living is given at 170 per annum, while in Canada it is 1120, and in the United King dom about tlUO. New Siuth Wales is the highest in the world, being 200. According the telegraphic nev s in the Oregonian, Mark Hanna is aspiring to the U. S. senate.

Gordon Death, I was kept lor eiffht months is chains by the mahdi. The chains were of the thickness of my wrist, one round my Deck and two a tout my arms and legs. In addition to this, I was tied to a pole like a dog or a boar. This treatment did not begin Immediately upon my capture. The mahdists never, of course, treated me very cordially, but considering their fanatioism toward all unbelievers, 1 had really not very much to complain of before I u out into thains. To the mahdists, all non mahdute are infidels, whether Moham medan, Christian, Jews, or anything else, and all infidels are deemed worthy only to be slain. I was taken in the mahdi's Buite to Khartum, and when we arrived at the walla the mahdi asked me to write letter to Gen. Gor don calling upon him to surrender. Accordingly I wrote a letter in Ger man, which no one in the mahdi's camp could control in any way, and it was dttly dispatched. No answer, however, waa returned, and from that, as well as from other indications, the mahdi onclnded that 1 had not carried out bis wishes. Therefore he cast me into chains. For the next eight months I was very badly treated. The chains were so heavy that I could scarcely rise up at all. When we moved from place to place I waa put on to a donkey, and two men walked by my aid to prop me np. The object of this was to prevent my escaping into Khartum, which they suspected I intended to do. When Khartum fell, the mahdists found certain documents which they considered incriminating, so they in creased my irons and their severity toward me. Within an hour of Gor don's death his head was brought to me in my prison wrapped up in a cloth, which they unfolded before me. I had no difficulty in recognizing it at once. For some reason or other they had taken it into their heads that I was Gordon's nephew, and no amount of arguing could disabuse them of that notion. They thought they recognized a likeness, and they kept repeating that we both had fair hair and blue eye, as if that were conclusive. After all, one European seems very like another to them, just as one negro seems like another to us. I heard full details of Gordon's death afterward. Gordon defended Khartum as well as it was possible for him 10 do under the circumstances. I think Gordon might have escaped from Khartum, had he wished to do so, at the last moment. He was killed on the top of the steps of the palace during the first rash of the invaders. One of the foremost men plunged a spear into his bodv; he was aragrfttti uown tne steps in a wild tumult, and pierced through and through by countless spears. For three months my diet consisted only of various kinds of corn, chiefly donrra, not ground, but in its hard, in digestible slate Afterward I was given beans and a kind of polenta. They would no doubt have killed me, but that they considered me too valua ble a prisoner. I had been governor general of the province of Darfur. and it added to their prestige to take me about with them to make use of the influence I possessed in the district I suffered a good deal in health during my confinement, being attacked by fever and dysentery. Ko one made any attempt at nursing me, or pro vided me with any remedies. I had to lie on the bare ground with a stone for my pillow, and was afforded no comfort or relaxation of any kind. I was released a couple of months or so before the mahdidied, but the strictest watch was kept over ma. On the death of the mad hi I was made one of tbc khalifa's bodyguard, -rhieh Tnant th I -(.t"' t. ..u.vs uuuer ms eye. I usea generally to be stationed outside his door, and was liable to be called in to do his bidding at any moment Of the two. I preferred the madhi to the khalifa. Until he threw me into ehains, the mahdi waa comparatively amiable to me, lie waa a man of same education, knew how to read and write, and possessed an intimate ac quaintance with the Mohammedan re ligion. The khalifa has not the reli gious prestige of bis pedecessor, and is alienating many of his supporters by an attempt to found a dynasty. This he has no earthly right to do, either by law or tradition. Before his son could succeed him, other khalifas, ap pointed by the late mahdi wunid have a prior claim. Very strict rules are in force against cither drinking spir ituous liquors or smokiDg tobacco. 5or do the mahdists use npiinn or hashish for one reason, because they are not procurable. Anyone caught smoking tobacco is liable to a punish ment of one hundred lashes, and the confiscation of all his property. In spite of that, there arc still a good many persons who venture to do it secretly. AH these regulations are simply a cloak for the nuwt monstrous, immorality. The khalifa has a harem of four hundred or five huiuirci women, and devotes a large part ol his time to its amenities. The khalifa maintains his influence by tyranny and d.f iothm, and the in habitants other th;;n his own triiji.' look forward, anxiously, to the thi; when U-rypl will once arrem claim I: lost provinces. Hut that is not a project to be undertaken too li-'i .!.-, and when we do set about it a u .t be sure that we arc abie to c-ry it ! out toa successful issue.
