The Oregonian, in commenting
upon find of nine Harrison medals
in the grave of an Indian whose re-
mains have reposed on Bradford's Is
land 10 these many years, seems to re-
gard it as favorable political omen,
but just where it hangs its hops un-
less it be upon revival of the dead
issues Of bygone age, it is impossible
to discover. There may be some sig
nihcance in there being nine medals
when we consider the mystical proper
ties OF that number, but we submit
that seven would have been much
more calculated to arouse the enthu-
siasm of the superstition, as it would
have typified the seven-horned beast,
the seven candlesticks on the altar.
the seven Democrats on the Electoral
Commission, and many other things
that might serve to amuse the puerile
fancy of those who herald the discoy
cry OF few trinkets in an Indians
grave as an incident worthy OF special
mention and of extraordinary signifi-
canoe.

The following account OF the mar
rage of Miss Miner, a niece of Cover
nor Semple, will be of interest to the
people of Olympia, who met the father
and mother of the bride at the Cover
nor's reception in the Percival man
sion last winter. The Daily Examiner
OF July 23d had the following:
st. Pauls Protestant Episcopal church.

Wedding March," which was played by
Mr.. Abbott of Chicago, an intimate friend
of the groom.
to the ceremony. and agreeabiy filled in
the time until the sounds of the wedding
march announced that the nuptial party
had arrived. The invitations to the cere-
mony were necessarily limited to the rel
atives and immediate friends of the FAM
upon the reception at the house after the
ceremony. The chancel of the church
had been very finely decorated with rare
palms and tropical plants, while the alter
was graced with choice roses. One of the
principal floral pieces was an arch over
the gate at the chancel rail, under which
the happy couple were united.
On the conclusion Of the ceremony the
bride and groom were driven to the resi-.
dence OF the briu"'s parents, where q re-
ception was held from to o'clock, and
Mr.. and Mrs. Chase received the congrat
ulatiOns of their numerous friends.
When the bridal party arrived at the
house they took positions in the parlor
and received the congratulations of their
friends as they arrived. Every prepare.
ton had been made for the pleasure OF
the guests. The mansion presented a
trimmed with Smilax and ferns. Floral
designs of every description were placed
about the rooms. The guests. after paw
ing their congratulations to the newly
welded pair, wandered around the lovely
grounds and listened to the beautiful Sc
chestra. An elaborate wedding break fast
was served during the afternoon. The
cake was cut by the bride, Miss ioad get
ting the ring and Miss Wallace the thin
bic. The bridesmaids were presented
with gold rings, as souvenirs, each con-
tanning seven pearls with the inscription
on the inside, July 18th. n. c.. 1885,"
The ushers received gold key rings with
the same inscription. The bride and
groom left at O'Clock for Napa, their tu-
ture home, shOwered by rice and followed
~ good wishes. They leave on Wednes-
day next for Chicago to visit the family
of the groom.
The wedding gifts were especially
handsome, costly and numerous, and in.
ciuded any quantity Of rare porcelain
and bric-a-brac. ROYAL Worcester, Crown
Derby, Dresden, Minton, Sevres and
other costly porcelains were represented,
and there were several dinner services
and tea services, one in particular calling
for the lions share ofadiniration. Jewels,
fans. and other articles of personal adorn-
ment we're also among the gifts to the
bride from her more intimate friends and
relatives.

WHAT constitutes a good Democrat
in Minneapolis? Is it the blatant bowler
and wire puller who is one thing to-day
and another tomorrow and who never
read the first syllable of the principles
of Democracy as taught by jefferson
and Jackson or is it that man who does
bis duty wherever you place him, who
never voted else but the Democratic
ticket from the fact that the principles
of Democracy-reada and re-read often
by Aim-were something almost sacred
and not to be tempered with. 1t is this
latter man who always donates quietly
and generously to campaign fund for
party success; it is the former, always
treacherous, who is continually reading

WILFRID BLUNT has written letter
to the London Times recounting in de-
tail the date and hour and the words
that passed between himself and Mr..
Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland,
when the latter said that the Home
Rule movement was supported by half
a dozen men whom he named, and
would collapse If, as he expected, they
through fear of prison fed the country.
II they were imprisoned he said, they
would get such severe hard labor that
those without strong health would be
unable to stand it. Mr.. Bslfour said
he was sorry for Mr.. Dillon as there
was some good about him. But he
would get six months hard labor, and
as he was in bad health the punish
ment would kill him. Mr.. Blunt says
he understood the Chief Secretary's
words to be intended to be somewhat
of a warning to himself, and through
him to the Parnellites. He again chal.
lenges Mr.. Balfour to say whether his
statement is correct, and declares that
il he denies the langua se attributed to
him he will bring testimony to corrob0-.

valuable service to the cause Of Irish
nationality. He did not agree always
with MIR. ParnelI. but he was conscien-
tious in everything he did. An instance
of this was when the emo Rent mani
festo was PROMULGATED. Although Mr..
Gray was at that time a member of the
IRISH Parliamentary Party he opposed
the movement thrc ugn the columns of
his paper in the following peculiar
language:
1--WE foresee dire confusion and ruin
to individuals, and possible strife and
bloodsEed. However opinions may diff.
fer as to the propriety and legality of
the advice rendered to the people by
the imprisoned leaders of the League,
there can be no difference as to the elo-
quence and ability IN which the case Of
the League is stated. We do not be-
lieve that tenants will follow the coun-
sci not to pay rents. We believe that g.
better and wiser spirit is springing up.
There is shown in many districts an
xtreme desire to terminate the fruit
less controversy. We have 40 proof
yet that the Land act will not be car
ried otherwise than in the most honest
way"
But III this Mr.. Gray was not alone.
Archbishop Croke, whose patriotism
could never be questioned, made q
strong protest against the manifesto
and the doctrine which it enunciated in
letter to the Dublin Freeman.
The late Edmund Uwyer Gray was a
trained journalist, and welded a
trenchant pen. Although vigorous
and emphatic he was never yitupera-
tive Or ungentlemanly in criticzing his
opponents, and WAS held in high es-
TEEN by his political enemies. On this
side Of the Atlantic his sudden death
will be deeply regretted by the many
friends he made during his visit to
America last year.

that year collected $500 900 for the re-

THE Answer TO BALPOUR,.

Balfour has caused the National
League meetings proposed to be held al
l4oughrea and other places in the
county Of Clare, next Sunday, to be
proclaimed, and this action it is said
has created more excitement in Ireland
than is usually aroused by such official
acts. The Natlonalists will answer
Balfourye empka5ically. Mr.. O'Briels
will speak at Lougfrea, MI. Davitt at
Ennis, and several Irish members of the
British House Of Commons will hold
forth elsewhere in the proclaimed dis
tlict, notwithstanding the fact that the
meetings have been proclaimed and
that the Government is making more
than ordinary preparations to enforce
the executive decree. It will be re-
nenbered that Balfour made a state
menr some time ago that the League
was practically dead in Glare county,
and this is the reason why Mr. O'Brien
and MIR. Davir5 are determined upon
holding the meetings, although it seems
scarcely necessary to do SO, for nobody
places any reliance in any statement
derogatory to the League made by
Salisbury. Not only in Glare county,
but throughout the whole Of ireland
the Coercionists have time and time
again been telling the people that The
National League was about to die
through sheer hamilton, but with a per-
yersity which disgusts all the friends of
the Castle and of the landlords tbs pop.
ular organization thrives and hourishes
like a green bay tree.
Another favorite statement of the
Tories is that assistance from America
is about to subside, and in similar
strain Of prophesy they assert that che
Irish themselves are heartily sick of the
organization and would refu SO to sup
port it any longer. AT the last regular
meeting of the League $4,000 WAS ac-
Anowledged from America, and $500
from Irish branches.
The meeting next Sunday will fully
answer the assertion Of BaIfour and his
Clique that 1.-THE Irish are sick of the or
ganjzation. But the Tories cannot
see, apparently that the only heed which
the Irish people take of their taunts and
forecasts is to give practical proof Of
their falsehood.

SAYS the Boston Evening Transcript
with a clearness Of vision and wisdom
of word that covers multitude Of less
kindly sayings: Are not some Ameri-
cans disgracing themselves by their
sneers at the attachment Of Irish.
Americans to the land of their fatherst
1t is, indeed, written of marriage
'For this cause a man Shall leave
father aud mother and cleave unto
his wife" But surely the man who
ceases to love and honor his father and
mother in order to please his wife is no
fit husband, and the woman who tries
to ALLEVIATE her husbands affections
from his father and mother is no fit
wife. Even 50 American citizenship is
alike disgraced by those citizens Of
foreign birth or parentage who are
made ashamed of the land of their
fathers, and Of those ''native Ameri-
cans'' who esteem such citizens the less
because their love and honor will not
be thus alienated.
