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.

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.

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

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.

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.'
