DEMOCRAT VS.. HERALD.-The Dem
ocrat of this city goes after the Herald,
of Portland, because of its reputation
atterances, and pronounces Its heavy
leaders on the subject as 'sarrant non-
sense, discreditable to the writer and
damaging to the party" and intimates
that If the Herald continues its advo-
cacy of the repudiation heresy, it will
not receive the vote of the Democracy.
This rebuke has caused the Herald to
incontinently ssdry up;" and it will not
dare to say sfrepudiationo once during
the balance Of the canvass.

Judge HumasOn and other prominent
members of the Democratic Convention
lately held in this city, declared publicly
and privately that they understood
equitable adjustment to mean the re-
pudiation of about half the bonded debt,
and if the bondholders were not satisfied
with this, they were for repudiating the
whole of it. Indeed, they intimated that
the adoption of the idea of equitable
adjustment" would eventually lead to
the repudiation of the whole debt. All
the leading men of the Democratic party
in this. State, as well as the leading
journals, with one exception, have
adopted this idea. Equitable adjust
ment," then, means "repudiation," and
no other construction can truthfully be
put upon it.

SHALL WE MARRY Z?

Occasionally young men Of good
character indulge in gloomy doubts
concerning the average American
woman, but such doubts can usually
be traced to disappointed affection,
or perhaps it may be produced by
the horrors of a cheap boarding
house where the smell of mackerel
and onions ascendeth up forever and
ever.
Marriage is sanctioned by God and
common sense. 1t is the only means
whereby young man in this age
and country can hope to lead re,
spectacle and clearly life. But there
are two classes Of persons who ere
exempt from its joys and sorrows.
lfyou, young man, are deaf, dumb,
lame, blind and idiotic, and if all
your ancestors have been such, or if
you are so abominably and detesta-
bly, mean that your life is that of a
friendless snarling cur, and you feel
that you could not be anything else
than a dog, even to your wife, you
can stand aside.
If you, young man, have conceiv-
ed that peculiar accursed ambition
so common nowadays, of being a
"fast man y if you have made up
your mind to keep a fast horse and
a concubine; if your idea of happi-
ness is to have your hands full of
cards and your stomach full of oys-
ters if you, in short, have made
your arrangements to go straight to
perdition, without change of cars,
and four hours ahead of anybody
else, you'd better not marry.
You will spend the money that
the honorable man lavishes on q
home and its eight and life," on
painted creatures who drag your
polluted name through every sink in
the land l; who display the jewelry
and gifts you have bestowed on
them, and curse you with a glib,
round oath, for a spooney and a fool.
You, too economical to marry, will
have plenty to spend on long-haired
cut-throats and black legs, VII will
leave you at last il may be, ~ die
wifeless and childless, amid the dust

The Coming Woman.

We learn from contemporary that
the coming woman has arrived, and
settled in Montana. 1t seems emil
nently fitting, by the way, that the
womans right movement should fin d
its first practical development in
the new States and territories of the
West.
The lady referred to, whose name
is Miss Given Evans, and who is of
Welsh nativity, about a month ago
entered the United States District
Court in Monday, and asked to have
a naturalization certificate made out
for her.
The puzzled functionary settled
his spectacles on his nose, examined
the applicant with surprise and then
plunged into United States statutes,
in which he found no legal reason
why a woman should not be duly
naturalized, and so Evans received
her papers, with which ;she. boldly
went TO the land Office Of the terrific
ry. There she asked clerk to
make out her declaratory statement
to pre-empt one hundred and sixty
acres Of public land.
The gentleman like the other, was
somewhat astonished at her request,
but, examining authorities, he found
no reason to repel the applicant, and
her certificate was duly filed as No.
1000.
Miss Evans then went to work on
her newly acquired land, and built
house, and set about to improve her
farm, fencing it, and otherwise show
ing that, having it, she intended to
keep it.
She has COW, yoke of oxen, and
all the usual farming tools used by
pioneers. Her land is in Deer Lodge
Valley, and some day the Northern
Pacific Railroad will run close to it,
making it quite valuable.-Nation.

The Big Horn Expedition.
OMAHA. Nebraska. Aug.

OMAHA, Nebraska, Aug. "a.
The first returned Big Horn ad-
venturer has arrived at Cheyenne
and gives the following statement:
"The last that has been heard from
the party was from the troops sent
to bring them in, when they were at
Grey Bull -river. The miners pros
pected there about seven days with
out success. 1t was then resolved to
divide into three parties and return
to Camp Brown, South Pass, and
thence to Bryan, on the Union Pa
cific railaoad. Another party Of
about the same number abandoned
their wagons, taking back the ami
mails, and set out for Montana across
the.country. Another .party of fif-
ty or sixty, with six wagons, took a
northerly route for the same desti-
nation, expecting to strike the old
Basemen road within 100 miles from
their camp. Every privation has
been endured by these men. No In
dians were seen by them after leav-
ing Camp Brown. The only death
in the party was that of Henry Nc
Henry, who had gone hunting, lost
his way and died from starvation
Nine days from the time McHenry
was lost his dog came into camp in
famished condition. A few days
later the mans remains were found,
with a gun and ammunition by his
side. The expedition has been a
failure in every respect, as at no
place were paying prospects found
after the party left the Sweetwa-
ter"

A MAN WITHOUT AN IDENTITY.
From the oswogo Advertiser. ]

A remarkable individual came to
notice in the city yesterday in a
man who was inquiring about the
streets for employment, and repre-
sented that he had eaten nothing for
several days except garbage that he
had picked up. His conversation
seemed to indicate he was foreign
err, but on being questioned by a
gentleman who casually took an in
terest in his case, he claimed to be q
native of this country, and related
the following singular circumstance
of his history:
He was apparently about forty
years of age, and, until year since,
had belonged to tribe of Indians in
the Rocky Mountain region, and be-
lieved that he was an Indian by ma
ture but having at various times
been told that he belonged to the
race of pale-faces, the desire grew
upon him to abandon his tribe and
visit the domains of his reputed kim
dred. He succeeding in escaping Mt
the time indicated, and fell in with
workmen engaged on the Pacific
railroad.
Since that time be had been travel
ing eastward, working when able to
obtain employment for short spells,
and acquainting himself with the
strange world that opened before his
advance into the limits of civilization,
of whic h he had not the faintest con-
ception before. His tribe had been
almost continually at war with the
whites, and he himself had partici-
pated in many conflicts. He exhib-
tied numerous scars upon his body,
and large circular cut on the back
part of his head was conclusive proof
of his statement of having been
scalped on one occasion by hostile
Indians.
The strange man rema rked that
he had no name and could not tell
who he was. His features and gen.
eral appearance left no room to ques-
ton his claim ofbelonging to the white
race, and the presumption is that he
was stolen from his parents when a
child, at some Of the frontier settle
ments many years ago.
What romance there must be
wrapped up in the impenetrable
mystery of his life, and how sad to
think that noble intellect may lie
smouldering in the untutored brain,
subverted from the higher aspira-
tons of man to the groveling in
stincts Of savage life. Such was the
substance of his story, told in child
ish simplicity of detail. Mr.. J. G.
Cooley, with characteristic gener-
osity, provided for the immediate
wants Of the poor fellow. He is still
wandering among the pale faces in
quest of work.

Cost of War.

The frightful cost of war can
scarcely be appreciated by a mere
recital of figures. Every country in
the world at intervals pays the toll
of multitudes of lives to the horrid
Moloch, and France, of all modern
nations, has paid the largest tribute.
According to facts furnished by Emil
do Gerarden, the French army of
1913 was recruited with 100000
conscripts between the ages of Is
and "a, of whom but 100000 re-
manned alive in 1914. From 1871 to
1912, covering the period of the rev.
olution, 4, 100000 Frenchmen perish
ed by violence, the most of them on
the field of battle; and for all this
France received absolutely nothing,
not so much as square inch of soil
added to its territory. In the present
idiotic war, waged against Prussia, if
France escapes with the loss of half
a million men, she will do better than
now expected, and it is not impossi-
BILE that part of her territory will
go with them. The nation has been,
for q century past, crazy for blood
shed, and has scarcely engaged in q
war on decent pretense. Expert
ence seems to be pretty much lost on
such q people, and if the Prussians
give them hearty and deserved
drubbing, the example is likely to
prove wholesome.

MR.. WEBSTER AS A LITERARY
MAN.

Of all the public men of America,
Mr.. Webster was perhaps the most
striking illustration of purely liter
airy power displayed on the theatre
of politics. 1t has been said of him,
by so judicious and knowing a critic
as Horatio Seymour, of New York,
that he would have achieved great
name in literature had he not chosen
the career of politician. His
strength, and that by which he dis
tanced such competitors as Calhoun,
was peculiarly one of literary effects;
and it was displayed in the most
striking and triumphant manner in
these memorable debates on the
Tariff and Modification, which con-
stituted, perhaps, the most brilliant
passage in our political literature, as
well as an era In our public national
history. The question has been
vexed between the partisans of Web
ster and Calhoun who had the bet
ter of the arguments in these debates.
But the real question of the matter
goes farther than its dialectics; and
whatever may have been the logical
accuracy and power Of Mr.. Calhoun
on the legal and constitutional issue,
it is certain that great Massachusetts
orator completely overthrow him by
the superior force and more finished
literature Of his discourse. The COM
parison Of the two debates on this
high and famous occasion furnishes
very precise and happy illustration
of the power contributed from pure
ly literary sources, in discussion of
even the abstruse question. The
issue between Union and DisunIon
was not decided by arguments; and,
indeed, it may be doubted whether
any public question is ever entirely
so determined. Standardization, as
our statesman are constantly discov
ering, will do more to govern the
opinion of the people than any
amount of logic and all that Mr..
Calhoun could make of syllogisms
and lawyers pleas could, and in one
point of fact did, have no weight by
Webster's grand appeal to the pas
sions of the multitude, and his splen-
did perorations to the GLORIOUS
Union" Those perorations are re-
membered by the mass es. are reci-
ted by the schoolboys, and have been
the stock in trade Of all lesser politi-
clans Oh every occasion of arousing
the patriotic emotions of the people,
long after the barren arguments of
the South Carolinian have been for
gotten, or survive only in q record
consulted and annotated by lawyers
and polemists.-From old and Ne,C,

the age. 1t is difficult to give the
precise number Of colored persons
present during the celebration, but
we think there were over four
thousand.
An effort is now being made in
this Congressional district, by the
Democratic leaders, to curry favor
with the blacks, in order to secure
their votes at the approaching cleo
ton, but the great mass will stand
identified with the party giving them
the ballot.
On the whole, this class of our peo-
pie are rapidly rising, both in intel
ligence and wealth, and are bound to
be blessing, rather than curse, to
the great American people. All
hail the day Glorious.

by the coat collar and giving him
thorough shaking. As soon as the
boy recovered from this process, he

THE NEW LEADER OF EUROPE.


Tho natural results of the brilliant
campaign ofa 1866 were to sweep
away all the petty barriers Of gov
eminent and ceremonial which had
so long separated German communi-
ties, and to make Germany, from the
Baltic to the Maine, one nation, and
the rival of France in European
leadership. The campaign of 1870
will do more. 1t YIELDS Germany in
to one compact mass from the North
Sea to the Bavarian Alps, and places
this vast community at the head of
European civilization. No such
grand and momentous event has
happened since the overthrow OF
France in 1914. A Teutonic, in
stead OF Latin race leads Europe,
and nationalism in place of C@sarism,
parliamentary institutions instead of
personal government, peaceful de-
velopment under constitutional
forms, rather than military glory
and imperial rule, will now be the
model presented to the world. leu
tonic seriousness, Teutonic love of
liberty in Church and State, and the
Teuton's disposition for peace (unless
he feels his rights trampled on),
will be the qualities Of the railing
race. The Latin races have done
their part--and not always an in
glorious one-in the worlds history
Now more earnest and moral and
free races must guide the helm of
progress. Professionalism and parlia-
mentary government must lead
European advancement. By a
marked coincidence, the Pope ceases
from his temporal power with the
fall of Cesarism. A new European
era opens, with a vast Germanic
State--controlled by Parliaments
and without standing armies
marching at the head Of civilization
and progress.

Searching for the Site of King SolomOn's
Temple.

The Hon. Richard Vaux, Past II.
w. Grand Master of the Grand Lodge
of Pennsylvania, A. Y. NJ, in his val
edictory address, stated that "during
the past few years scientific asso-
citation in London has voluntarily
undertaken to institute discoveries
on the site Of King Solomon's Temple,
for the purpose of ascertaining what
yet remains of the foundation and
superstructure of that wonderful ed
ifce. 1t is beyond doubt that
enough has been done to satisfy the
Freemason that the sacred and pro-
fame history of this temple is corrob-
grated. When we hear from an eye
witness that the stones of the foun-
dation, which have been brought to
light, are each designated by a sig
niticant mark, cut into each stone,
which has deified the learning of phi
lologists, and psychologists, we are
animated with joy in which only
the Masons can participate. Every
effort should be made TO continue
these explorations. Freemasons
have a most direct interest in the re-
suit. |, therefore, invite my breth-
rem, the Grand Masters of the Grand
Lodges of the United States, to take
such action as will supply with ma
terial cid these explorers, since the
craft will be rewarded by evidences
thus grasped from the destroying
power of time, oonfrmatory of many
Of our esoteric teachings. Might it
not be well for those Past Grand
Masters who take an interest in this
subject, to unite in securing means
TO effect this most desirable object.
The symbology of Masonry is most
interesting study. The truths which
are hidden under these symbols may
yet receive renewed life in resur-
rection which would confirm the
faith of the fraternity. | would
earnestly invite for this subject the
early and practical consideration of
the distinguished brethren to whom
now appeal for effort to this end
