CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000 -THE POWER OF THE " s, PEOPLE.; (Speech by Abraham Lincoln' at' Lawreneeburg, Ind., Feb. 12,. white en route to Wash ington.)

An exchange says some people are evincing an anxiety to know what is sues., the Democratic party will take tsD in" the eominz"; campaiini." Of course some people are. . All people are. Ko doubt "it is a matter, of as much concern to the Democrats themselves as tofanybWye'lse.-:Oneiot tbe-diflK cult phases of each recurring campaign, to our brothers, the opposition, .is to know just what particular . shortcoming of the Republicans to select as the chief object with which to view with alarm. One year fit appears to be the gold 'standard that promises to furnish the greatest amount of grief to the masses, .. unless ehWked. and exposed by the al leged political heirs of Jefferson, but "within four years the tendency toward ' empire ' has thrown the Accursed gold standard into the background and the' dangers of territorial ' acquisition are utilized as a spook to rally around , -rand, behind. ' " At another1 stage of uncontrollable fright for the "perpetuity of our in stitutions' the Democracy sees a cloud rising on the political horizon which ' threatens to materialize into the hor rible form of . a military depotism, Caesarian in form aSid tyrannical in in tention. If not checked, it beJomes militarism" in it most awfnl guue, and serves to amalgamate, for one cam paign, the diverging elements of Dem ocracy into-one complete ami hartnon- : ioUS Whole.

They reeognize that " the ark. of the covenant .has at all times been in the hands of the Nebraska mao and, conse quently have no use for those who have strayel front ."the house of the faithful." Just what , our fneuds at home are to believe this year will be decided upon, "probably, at the "Jack son Day Y feast on the 0th. At present, there seems nothing more promising to view with alarm during tre coming campaign than the probable digging -f the Panama canal under Eoosevelt's ad ministration. . i From the Democratic standpoint, at present,' it seems more likely that the liberties of the masses will be subverted through that means than any other, unless, in the mean time. Col. j iiryan " has found a greater tefrorf in iiussia or Germany, 'or per haps, in Lombard street. From this point of view it is unfortunate that tne Portland affair is to come off before the Peerless Leader's speech t the Lincoln banqset, ! I" v - I- THE TJagPQTJA EIVEB. :.f,n.. ' .'',. ; I t And miyeomes the disappointing -in--tenigene that Government assistance is not to Iei expected in ;aid of flie harbor at the mouth of the Umpqua river. It is true that the estimates of the engineers is large for j that place, something like $900100, but this will be found, probably, to be an exagger ated estimate. In the early days of the settlement of Oregon, much of the supplies for 'the settlers and miners of Southern Oregon was brought from California by the way of the Umpqua river., f J The little l White City"; of Gardner is situated at the mouth of -the Uinpo.ua' And it i one of the most beautiful and prosperous communities in. the state. During tke hist few years, his life, aq4 up: to- the, day. of, his death, the late A. ;W. Hee-l was the principal bus iness nutn 4f that., thriving: city and it owed much to his sagacity "and enter prise. 'Indeed, on the day before n met with his! death by drowning in the Umpqua river, In April, 1S99, he de scribed' to the writer his effort in the early Utjs to bring a small steamboat as far 1 up thttt - river - as) the city of Roseburg, and it will, no doubt, sur prise many, people to know that he suc ceed ed .in the undertaking,' or, at, least, in reaching k point but a few miles be low that poijnt. It required many days, however, to complete the journey, and it was altogether so unsatisfactory, that the effort to navigate the Umpqua above the obstructions at Seottsburg Ijave never since been renewed. In the- 'S'Jj's Seottsburg, situated per haps fifteen miles inland from the mouth of the Umpqna river, was the most -promising town of Southern" Ore gonas it was the .point where pack trains made connection with., tho steam boats from the outer world." 'The ilate Governor fjhadwick, who," as well as many other! men who afterward be cameromirient in .the public life of the state, first seittledin that early commer cial met rojtAJia,, never at that time' had heard of l'Ojrtland-oh-the-WillaTiette. i.s a possible rival. But the Umpqua river will yet be a help toward the fuller de velopment pf Southern Oregon's re sources. . " ; f ' V 1 -.' f DANGER OP FIRE IN BUILDING'S. PUBLIC , An 1 unexpected result ! of the terrible loss of lifef in-the fire at the lroquis Theatre, ia ("hicago fs the announce ment (that probably. many of the thea tres in that city will never open again, though this will baldly prove true. The lessons learned jn a catactrbphe of tllat I character ; are rarely lasting. Strictly speaking, however, the exper ience of the Chicago fire is not a lesson. It was simply an incident of every day life that could not have been foreseen and was a fcarfu.1 termination of a risk tliat 'people take every day and will eontinme to do while time lasts. , Every traveller, who occupies room at a hotel takes his life in his hand and never knows but that he will be cre mated before morning. Not one travel ler out of a thousand, when he goes to bed in his hotel ever thinks to ascertain the ; location of thejfire escape before retiring, or of inquiring if there is a fire escape. And even with such as is provided in-the average rhodern hotel, if he is in a fourth or fifth stjry, unless a graduted athlete, his chances of safely climbing down a slender Iron ladder" are a hundred to one against him.1 Even with a reward offered for nic- reaftfullj doing it, 'there is great iloubt if o'efroman in a hundred could climb safely down from the fourth stpry ; of the average hotel by the fire : escape jsimpix as a test, evf 11 in the. absence. of 'any fire. To be sure, these provisions in case of a fire, jwouM be the means of : J saving some liveiv tot ;.. it does hot change the fact that people are. always, taking chance? when they enter large buildings in great numbers, whether in theatres or hotels '. i :Ti . The only fire escapes that are in a measure really effective are those simi lar in arrangement to the 'ones in use at the State Asylum in this city. More nearly than anything else, one of these escapes resembles a huge augur, sir feet in diameter,' stood on end against the building and reaching to the top. It is encased its entire length and the spiral ineline is. of such declivity that those entering it win not slide 'to the bottom with enough speed to do - them - stop . anywhere . during: Jthe descent. Openings through the : encasement - are provided at every story. In case of a fire at the Asylum, 'even considering the condition of most of. the patients, the danger of loss of life would be re duced to the minimum. ;";.. -:AUw UUIl'llUg-li VVUOtI UV IOU -AIM UTJ particnlar purposes of a theatre could hot always be provide?! with escapes of But buildings constructed for the ways be provideI with escapes this character. When a thousand peo ple are collected in one room as thickly as they can be seated it will always be impossible for everybody to escape in case of a sudden and rapid fire. The only safety lies in constructing build ings entirely of absolutely fire-proof materials. This, in time, will be real ized. ; ; Meanwhile, people will continue to taEe risks. They are built that way. But, after all; considering that hun dre.ds of thousands of people attend the'theafres in the Uniteil States every' evening, the percentage of loss of life lyr being cremated in the play houses isno larger than that of farmers who lose their li'ves every . year, by their1 teams running awajv Thefnext day after the disastrous Lake Labish acci dent a few years ago, the-(?ular train had even more passengenf5-ihan usual. 1 When quite a youn" man, Mark Twain roved by Ktatytics that more men died in' bed thart anywhere else,' therefore, if figures are worth anv thing, he argued, one bed is the most t dangerous place for oneto go. There wno w:UK or lire that- Js. free from risks, but the exercise ofSution will; of ,ours!e, reduce them to a minimum. WBIX,- THE EEPUBLICAJiS CAN . STAND IT.

' ...U ' 1 THE "CEOWD" IN WASHINGTON. An "esteemed 'contemporary, which professes to believe that a national appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair "is what all Oregon is pulling, for now,? also says that "if Jeff Myers ami the balance ofTthe crowd in. Wash ington tell the, Congressional, committee a:ll'tBey don't know about Oregon jand the Iei9and Clark Fair, a large ap propriation will be assured."

At least, it is a safe assumption that they' have learn ed as much about Oregon in fifffy years as some people would during a residence hero of only one-third that time.- The "crowd" at Washington, is all right. If securing that appropriation is ' what I all Oregon Is pulling-for now," then : let us all pul Ifor it nl-in the same direction withjoth hande. THE ARK OFJTHE COVENANT. 1 : 1, - y ' - The supporters and admirers of W. J. Bryan, in his home town, are mak ing arrangements to give him" a mag- Meet. jreception junf banquet npon i fits ritIrn from Europe. The banquet by 'Mr. T. D. Worrall, chairman of the banquet committee, in which it is de clared that " it , is fit and proper that - Ythi8 splendid American citizen and great' Democrat should te thus honored ''T his fellow citizens," after which, the latest definition of what constitutes !.a rtrddern Democrat entitled to be ; Ueemea in good standing in his party is given in these unambiguous words: "It. ra .to be .a Democratic bananet in faet jas well as in name, given by Iemoc5ts : V,-f-1! itpuiuuse jor remaining True 10 ine principles' of the- Democracy as enun ciated in the Chicago and Kansas City, platforms, but deny with emphasis that they oWe an apology, to Democrats who deserted the party during those cam r.a i ens and lent their aid and comfort to the jother party. While standing ready at all times to welcome the wan dering and erring ones baek to the Democratic fold, npon sufficient evi dence that in future theyj purpose sup porting! the Democratic national ticket, the Democrats who are arranging for this banquet to Democracy's gallant leader decline to step aside to make room ai the family table for those who bet ray e 1 the household of the faith- fnl.'"' This,! then, is to be no prodigal son affair. The unfaithful (are to be wel- conned back to the home table, provided there rhay be room ? fop them after those who have remained at home have been provided for, but those who are to Democ- arranging this banquet racy 'a gallant leader" decline U step aside to make room for those who have betrayed : the faithful of the house hold." It requires not1 particular gift of prophecy to foresee the degree f harmony that will prevail at this ban quet to Democracy's gallant leader." The gold Democratr". Whose defection aided largely ia the "defeat of Bryan in 1896 -and again in 1900 are thus noti fied that there will be no "stepping aside" for them at' the family table, since they are jdainlyj characterized ' as traitors A "the household of the faith ful." .;' '-y :: : y: This brotherly invitation, to those whose help is wanted! and neeledr. if there is to -e .any hope for, success, will not tend to an overwhelming rush of ihe "unfaitusi'j to the family loarJ.

A ad? of " e'ou'rse, har mony is wanted. - TheJ unfaithful will oe. weIeoe. if-thev will come in on ben If l . roes end with bowed heads, trayers of the housholL" This is an invitation whose coraiality will nurely bring in recruits ia overwhelming num bers. - . v v,V;-v But the reason for it is contained in the concluding! paragraph of the "in vitatura,'f (f) as follows: i "While it is: true that the departing ten tribes) of Israel marched Jorth with the gaudiest , banners and the loudest sounds of j timbrel and lyre, it is equally true that the kr- of the covenant "re mained with tjie tribe ef Judah. . The ark of the Democratic covenant re mains in- the hoasehol.l of the faithful, and they are eordially invited to'gather on .the "evening of January J8 to again re'nejW- their fiith lit Democratic prin ciples and, gain strength for the forth coming struggle for control of this re public 's a ffajr 8." " ; : Translated j into plain, every-day English,! this means that when Cleve land, Hill, Olney, Carlisle, Palmer and several, hundred thousand other Demo crats refused jto accept the pew de parture of those who controlled the Democratic Jparty in '96, they marched forth with the gaudiest ban ners and loudest trumpets," but that the liemocratie ark'of the covenant re- mained with $ryan and ais followers. , BuC "here is jtbe beginning of the mis take. The fact that Bryan was en-? tirely acceptable to the populist party and' advocated the wildest of their de mands, only goes to show that -the ark he was hugging to his bosom was really the ark of Jerry. Simpson and Peffer. It was the ark of cheap -money anda debaso.1 currency. It: was a covenant with all the Elements tat would jiroru IseJ to urite, j no mailer what ' thev favYrced or oiMsel, in one grand com bination, to put Mr. Bryan ip the Presi decv. ' The ; eross'-'uf fiMd ' wh'rih hud been the! standard by which Jeffir- from here-iftc-r was to be absor!ed by a copious a jplicatiin of ' shin plasters and any lI (kind of- wild-eat currency. This was notthe Democratic ark. The ark of Ithe covenant, in which Moses place4 the two tables of stone containing the-ten commandments, rent ly contaiue.I jwhat it purjMjrted to. The ark with which Bryan and his follow ers made awjajr contained nothing that Jefferson contended for nor that stim ulated Jackson in his long and strenu ous public caree.r.- It was an instance when tbef particular 1 -historical fact "re ferred to' did not 'repesf 'itself. In the very exnlernce of his enthusiasm Mr. ! Brvan niistitk himself to be the head of the tribo of JudaJt, vh en," in fact, for eight "years he 'lit; been- aimlessly leading' the lost --tribes of the house of Israel, in a Hopelessjy entangled wibler ness. !:"!-'.-- - If the "ark of the covenant" which contains the real, old-fish.ioneli.Deno cratic c;reel shall ever- again be found, its resting place will lie found further east than Lincoln, Nebraska.
