-
Mr. Depev, President of the ~ <.
Central, was formidable candida
Tor the Republican nominations fcr
President and the N. Y. Mail and Er-
press was his organ. While the
Chicago convention was in session
the Maa and Express had the fol-
lowing:
aBeing railroad man is another
element of strength, the talk Of the
friends Of the other candidates to
the contrary Notwithstanding. 1t
will help him immensely, and I'll
tell you Why. Surprising the total
voting population of the country this
year is 10000, 000-it was 10000
900 in 1884 and the natural increase
will make it about twelve now.
Now, suppose again that the parties
are pretty evenly balanced. That
will make 100000 majority.
Now, of that number 20 per cent, or
!, 200, 900, are railroad D,en. and it
is absurd to say that man who be
gins with 20 per cent. Of the neces-
sary number as an element devoted
to him is weak. He'll poll just as
many Of other classes as any other
Republican candidate in addition to
this, and it would be foolish to
claim that he would he weak be-
cause he would be supported by the
most important institution in the
country, important to traffic in the
East and West, the one institution
that gives cheap food to the masses
in the cities and has enabled the
farmers of the West to get nearly
the whole price in the West for
which their crop sells at the sea-
board market. 1t is therefore just
as foolish to say he is weak as to
say the same in relation to 4 con-
testant for the prize in foot race
the muscles of whose legs you have
felt and found splendidly developed !;
it would be just as sensible to say
of him. This man can't run, be-
cause he has got sound legs with
muscles well developed ! Most of
mankind, if they were inclined to
bet, would wager their money on
that man.

Emperor william Takes Part In u brilliant
Ceremonial To-Day.

BERLIN, June 25.-The Reichstag was
'pened to-day with pompt and brilliancv.
After divine service in the court chapel
the Emperor was escorted with great
ceremony to the White Hall of the old
castle, where he declared the session
open. Throughout his speech the En-
peror dwelt upon Germanys pacific dis
position. He says her policy aims solely to
ward of attack, not To acquire military
glory. The Empire, he declares, desires
peace with all nations The Emperor says
further: Germany will adhere TO her alli-
ance with Austria, which public opinion
supports as the basis of European equil-
ibrium and an inheritance of German
history. The same relations and national
needs unite Germany and Italy These
relations will permit the careful cultiva-
lion Of the EmperOr's personal friend
ship with the Gar, and the maintenance
of the pacific relations with Russia,
which have existed for century, in con-
sonance with the Emperor's feelings
and Germahy's interests"
ST. PETERSBURG, June 25--It is stated
In well informed circles that Emperor
William Of Germany will meet the Car

An Explanation.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which 80 many seem now to be af-
flicted? If you will remember few
years ago the word Malaria was COM
paratively unknown,-to-day it is as
common as any word in the English
language, yet this word covers only
the meaning of another word used by
our forefathers in times past. So it
is with nervous diseases, as they and
Malaria are intended to cover what
our grandfathers called Billiousness,
and all are caused by troubles that
arise from diseased condition of the
Liver which in performing its func.
tions finding it cannot dispose of the
BILE through the ordinary channel is
compelled to pass it off through the
system, causing nervous troubles,
Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc. You
who are suffering can well appreciate

gust Flower Its cures are mar

Our Light Houses.

The large iron shutter intended to
protect the lantern at Tillamook light
from damage during the heavy win
ter gales which occasionally throw
surf clean over it, is about completed
at the Willamette Iron works. It is
mounted on brass castors, and a cir
cular iron track is provided, on which
the shutter can be easily and quickly
rolled around to the shore side of the
lantern in fine weather. The shutter
was to have been completed to-day to
be shipped on the Mafazanita; but as
that steamers throttle is in the shop
for repairs, she is not likely to sail
for day or two.
On the wharf at the iron works are
large number OF heavy castings for
the light house at cape Meares. The
castings are sections of the octagonal
tower of the light. There are three
series of them which will reach from
the masonry to the base of the Ian.
tern. There will have to be a good
road made from Tillamook spit to the
summit of Cape Meares in order thai
these heavy castings may be got ur
there.-Orego1aiafl 81.

Almost a COnflagration.

The short but sharp alarm of fire
which rung out last evening about
nine o'clock, was occasioned by the
discovery of bright flame blazing in
nearly the center of G. Fl. Cooper's
dry goods and clothing store, widely
and favorably known as the l. x. L.
store. County assessor Joseph Sin.
mott happening by, observed the fame
and smoke and instantly gave the
alarm, which was quickly responded
to by both the fire engine and hook
and ladder companies. No one, ap-
parently, being inside the store, the
door was forced open and, very for
tunately, the fire was smothered, thus
avoiding the necessity of playing a
stream of water upon it, which from
the nature OF the goods in the store
would have greatly increased the
damages.
The fire evidently originated from
the sparks of burnt carbon falling
from the electric light, directly under
which is located the cloak depart.
ment. Over the cloaks, most OF
which were hanging at full length on
a frame, was spread a large muslin
covering to keep off the dust. The
carbon sparks had set fire to the
muslin, which in turn set fire to the
cloaks. Some twenty-five or thirty OF
which costing all the way from $40
to $40 each, are badly damaged. II
was a narrow escape of the loss of @
very large and valuable stock OF
goods. We understand that Mr.
Cooper, who is now on a business
trip to San Francisco, keeps his
stock fully insured.
