HIGH WATER. The Columbia river at
this point now lacks lo inches of the high
water mark of 1876, the highest on record.
At this writing the water is still coming up
slowly, and many persons think the highest
point will be reached to-day, as the Snake
river is reported falling, though the upper
Columbia is still rising. But there is SO
much snow in the mountains that a few days
of warm weather sends the waters up in
such fearful way it lets the bottom out
of all prophecies. The damage done on the
bottom lands is great, all crops being de-
stroyed, and all the people moved out. In
Portland the business streets are flooded as
usual, and the wholesale business suspended.
The damage in Vancouver will be thrilling,
and business suffers no interruption.

An Indiscreet Ohio Man.

Ohio Democrats are a good deal an
noyed at an observation made by Con-
gresham Hill, of that State. Mr.. Hill is a
Democrat OF pronounced type. and speaks his
serenading the Cincinnati delegation in honor
of her selection as the seat of the Democratic
Convention, Mr.. Hill made speech and said
among other things, "that we intend to inau-
gurate our candidate for President whether we
elect him or not" This sentiment has carried
diemay into the hearts of the Democrats, be-
cause they believe it will be used with great
effect against them on the stump. Senator
Pendleton, Representative LIE Fevre, j. G.
Thompson and others are smoothing it over as
best they can, and affirm that Hill did not
mean what he said; that he was merely using
picturesque figure of speech. But the Re-
publicans say that this is not the first threat of
The kind and it will not be allowed to pass
without notice.
The above speaks for itself. Within year
an editorial an editorial appeared in the Rocky
Mountain News, the organ of the Democratic
party in Colorado that told the Republicans to
get their rifles ready, for if there was any
chance the Democrats would count in their
President. The Republican party have this
threat menacing them, and in the coming
struggle should be prepared. The history of
the Democratic party surely iustifes this fear.

years of war, the bloodiest ever witnessed,
before his authority was acknowledged in the
whole country. Every man who voluntarily
fought for the South was a Democrat. will
pass over the tragic death of Lincoln and its
cause, To-day we see Congress laying their
plans to thwart the will of the people, the army
being where it was under Buchanan, mere
shell, and no navy. This is part of the plan.
Again the Democrats are determined to get ali
the census takers at the South as well as at the
North Their plan will be to make the South's
population appear as large as possible,
and the North's as small. 1t is a
death fight for power; the North will
gain some 46 members of Congress
if the census is taken honestly and that will
end the solid South Once let the government
pass into the hands of the Democratic party
and nothing less than civil war could put them
out of power.
But the people will rule in spite OF the Dem
ocratic party. We shall elect our President
and inaugurate him and that will be the end of
bull doing, shot gun, ostracism aud the
solid South. The Democratic party deprived
of the right to stuff ballotboxes will soon cease
to exist, result that will be of great benefit to
this country. REPUBLICAN.

Worse than the Gem Puzzle.


Several men were gathered at the door of
blacksmith's shop on Cass avenue the other
morning when school boy not over nine yeaxs
of age came along with tears In his eyes, and
one of the group asked,
whats the matter, boy-fall DOWN."
'N-no, but I've got hard 'rithmetc lesson,
and L expect to get licked" was the answer.
"Let me see; used to be king bee on
fractions"
The man took the book, turned to the page
and read
RULE Find the least common multiple of the
denonnators of the fractions for the least common
denominator. Divide this least common denomina-
tor by each denominator, and multiply both terms
of the fraction by the quotient obtained by each de-
nominator.
He read the rule aloud. and asked il any one
could understand it. All shook their heads,
and then he continued:
"Wel), now, / think should go to work and
discover the least uncommon agitator. j would
then envole parallel according to the intrin-
sic deviator, and punctuate the thermometer" :"
$50 would I!'' answered every man in cho-
rus, and one of them added, "I've worked 'em
out that way thousands of times"
Not one of the men all of whom were in
business and had made money, could even un-
derstand the working of the rule, much LEST
work examples by it, and yet it was expected
that nine-year-old boy should 90 to the black
board and do every sum off-hand."

Fraud and FORGERY.

1t is pity that the forged and mutilated
returns now before the investigating COM
mittse at Augusta cannot be exhibited to
every voter in the State. The changes made
in them are apparent to the most casual OBJ
servation. No honest Fusionist, however
strong his partisan convictions or however
stubborn his prejudices, can, after glance
at these manipulated papers, refuse-unless
he chooses to disbelieve the evidence of his
own eyes-to acknowledge that fraud has
been practiced by some one who had access
to the returns after they went out of the
possession of the officers of towns and came
under the control of Garcelon and his Coun-
Gil. The evidences of fraud are patent and
cannot be sworn away. Whoever doubts the
correctness of this statement has but to
make trip to the State Capital to assure
himself of its exact truth. The alterations
instances the marks of erasure being per-
fectly plain, in some the interpolated letters
being written in distinct shade of ink from
that used in making out the original return,
and in others the handwriting being obvi-
ously other than that of the officials by
whom the papers purport to be filled up,
that one wonders at the reckless audacty of
their authors, or would wonder if he knew
nothing of the men and their immense
capacity for doing a wrong thing in the most
stupid way possible.
1t would be doing service to the people
of Maine to photograph the returns that
have been tampered with and to send copies
all over the State. Even photography can
not fully picture the frauds in all their ex-
tent, but it can convey an accurate idea of
many of the alterations that werenecessary to
the counting-in of Fusion majority in the
Legislature. The people would then realize
the nature of the conspiracy and the wicked
and utterly indefensible methods of the men
who undertook to defy the popular will and
boldly set aside the verdict returned at the
ballot box. Language is not sufficient to
the purpose. The returns themselves must
be seen. Each days testimony brings out
new and more damaging evidence. When
the proof is all in and the guilty ones ex-
posed the people will discover that the broad
est and strongest charges made against the
Fusion conspirators fall short of the truth
rather than exceed it.
