The funniest episode at the st. Louis
ratification meeting was the presentation by
the Hon. Thomas VI. Patterson, of Colorado,
of silver gavel, on behalf of his state, to
the presiding officer, with speech eulogz.
ing President Cleveland, the bitterest enemy
the silver-producing states have ever had.
Mr.. Patterson must have gritted his teeth
when he was making that speech and thought
of Cleveland's ante-inaugurat!on letter
against silver; of his messages in which he
recommended the discrimination of silver
coinage, and of the manner In which he
prevented the adoption of the Beck silver
amendment to the bond-purchaslng bill.
His words of eulogy would have choked an
ordinary man, but Mr.. Patterson bowed to
the ineXorable decree of Grover ], opened
his gullet wide, and belched them out.

John c. Calhoun, appeared at the Royalty
Theater, In London, Monday evening as Hes
Ter Prynne in an adaptation of Hlwthorncs

how she had been engaged to marry young
Hearst, the editor of the San Francisco Er.
OD,iDCy. and how the match had been broken
up by the opposition of young lIcarst's mother.
Miss Calhoun was objected TO on the ground
that she had been on the stage. At that time
she had played single engagement in Lon

three years ago, and have lived with friends

THE Democrats made most extraordinary
efforts to capture Oregon. 1t was import.
ant for many reasons. 4 senator was to be
elected to succeed Senator Dolph, and a
Democratic legislature would of course
send Democratic senator But the great
reason for this effort was to secure an in
dorsement, from the first state voting, for
the free trade message of the President and
the Mills bill. The effort has failed, as IL
was bound to do, for on the very day the
vote was taken the Democrats were endeav-
oring to destroy one Of the greatest indus
tries of Oregon by removing the duty on
lumber, Oregon, withits immense forests
of valuable timber, is not in favor of free
lumber, and II therefore went Republican by
an increased majority. All the other states,
when free vote is had, will follow suit.

Taking the Back Track,

Mr.. Barbour represents that element In
his party that sees the danger Of such wild
