The Democratic State Convention
has been in session since Monday. A
telegram from P. NJ. Davis sent Tues
day announces that the nominations
made up till that time were: For Gov
ernor, Ben Wilson; for Lieutenant
Governor, Sam Taylor; for Member Of
Congress, Alex. Mayhem. The Spo-
kane papers report that P. NJ. Davis
had been made secretary Of the con-
vention, and J. w. Reid had made q
red hot speech.
Private communication from Moscow
reports that Mrs. w. G. Piper suffered
on Tuesday last rather severe acci-
dent. While engaged in sewing she
run a needle into her right hand break
ing of about one half of it in the
palm. The surgeons probed for the
needle for more than two hours but
without success. Mrs. Piper stood the
painful operation with great endurance
and it is hoped now that the broken
needle can be drawn out by strong
poultices.

Down tho Lewiston Hill.

From the Spokesman.
As you approach Lewiston you sud-
denly come upon hill five miles long.
It is steep, and not nice place to ride
down.
A young Englishman sat on the box
with the stage-driver q few days ago.
"I've heard 80 much about staging,
don't you know" he said to the driver,
"that would like to see some Of it."
1--WE are coming to bad place now,"
the driver replied; "you had better get
inside" -.
"I'm afraid Of nothing you can show
me-" the passenger boasted.
That instant the stage struck the
down grade, which is like toboggar
slide. The young Englishman's hold
was slender, and he was In q pitiabl'
state. He begged and prayed for th'
driver to stop and let him get down
but onward the stage rolled.
"Oh, this is nothing" said the drive
now and again in corousing way
"Wait till we get where the hill 4
steep"
For the young Bntisher to chang
his hold was to be pitched headlong o1
the stage. All he could do was {
hang on.
II hope you like staging" was th
drivers Anal shot, as his nearly dea
passenger was lifted OF the box I

With Lewiston at the Bat and
Spokane Hunting Leather.

AZ was predicted, the advent Of the
visit Of the Printers ball club drew .
large crowd to witness the game last
Sunday. Representatives were present
from all the neighboring towns. The
grand stand was full to overaowing
and the contingent in carriages, hacks
and buggies swelled the crowd to ono
thousand. The day was lovely. Lew
iston put out her best display Of
weather to welcome the Spokaneites.
1t was not with any degree Of boast
full assurance that the boys faced the
famous Printers In the opening inning.
The Printers represent the best anna
teur talent to be found in the "City Of
the Falls" and is the strongest sggre-
cation Of players that our boys have
had to meet this season.
The game opened with O'Toole In
the box. Th. boys soon found the
twist in that twirler's curves and
batted him freely. Safe hits were
lined into the field in every direction,
and when the first inning closed Lew
iston had five runs to her credit.
O'Toole was little wild in the OPEN
ing innings, and the in-iield played
with several costly errors that appar-
emily disheartened the visitors. The
splendid pitching Of Emmerke is shown
by the score. Not man In the visit
ing club made safe hit of of his de-
livery. The scores made by the visiting
club in the fifth inning were scored On
errors In the in-field playing. The
Lewistons all batted well. Adderly

It made but little change In the record,
The boys were PLAYING for scores and
could pick out two and three baggesl
with ease.
The Printers are fine, gentlemenly

Death Notices.

Kate M, wife of J. o. Barbour, died
in this city, Aug. 81, 1890, aged 20
years. The deceased is the daughter of
P. B. Whitman, an old pioneer of this
place, and her life has been spent at or
near her native place. Her death was
sudden and unexpected and rude
shock to all. Young and hopeful, q
wife and mother for whom the world
held much of promise and life was
sweet, Death seems cruel and un-
welcome guest. Sorrowing friends pre-
pared the burial and loving hands laid
the body to rest. The services were
conducted by Rev. T. NJ. Boyd, Of
Pendleton.
Florence, daughter Of Leslie and
Laura Knaggs, aged 2 years months
and 27 days, died suddenly on Satur
day morning last. To hearts already
heavy and full ofsympathy this secont
visit of the destroying angel brought
added grief. The child was specia
favorite to all who knew her and he
many winning ways won for her
place in every heart. Loved and lost
yet in her brief space of life she left I
ray of sunshine whose memory will
gladden. loving hearts while life shal
last.

TAKING THE BACK TRACK.

The REcoRD-UNIoN some weeks aoo
said that this Congress would begin the
tinkering business with the Mckinley
mistake. About dozen bills to amend
the gorgeous 5lunder have already been
introduced. One of the latest is by Con.
gresham Taylor of Illinois, one of the fe
Mckinley men who did not fall in the
slaughter of the November election. Mr..
Taylor proposes to restore the old rate on
tin plate-that is, to reduce the duty from
% cents per pound, which can be
charged after July LIST next, to one cent.
Also, to repeal the provision making tin
dutiable at four cents pound after July
], 1898. This last tax was clapped on to
benefit some alleged tin mine owners out
in the Black Hills.
MIR. lay or says that Major Mckinley
told him at the time of the passage of the
bill that he saw no reason for advancing
the duty upon tin plate Then why in
the name of the prophet did he he not
save his reputation by entering his pro-
test? Or was it the old, old story of man.
ufacturing ring interest pressing hard and
putting on the screws in other quarters to
make the bill respond in the advanced
rate on tin plate? We suspect that the
question locates the milk in the cocoanut.
II there was any one thing during the
campaign that was whooped up more than
another it was the alleged bene6eence of the
high duty on tin plate. Doubtless the mass of
the promoters of the idea were sincere,
but here we have one of the saved" Con-
gressmen who voted for the advance now
: proposing to take the back track and re-
peal the new duty in favor Of the old.
Mr.. Taylor will really need to go about
with artillery strapped upon him-some
of the people who threatened to put up
that 100000 tin plate mandatory
may be disposed to waylay him.

COTTON Is FREE.
The Santa Barbara Murderer Pardoned
by the Governor.

The Santa Barbara Murderer Pardoned
by the Governor.
The pardon mill ran at lively gait yes
terday, and the penitentiary doors were
opened to five more of its inmates, includ-
ing James A. Cotton, the man who MUIR
dered another in Santa Barbara county sew
eral years ago and was sentenced for life.
The crime was shown to have been of an
atrocious character. Cotton was the para
mour of Mrs. Norton, and the couple
conspired to murder the woman's hus
band. They lived at an isolated spot near
Point Rincon, and the crime was carried
out in the most cowardly manner. While
Norton was sitting at the table Cotton stole
on him from behind and beat his brains
out with an ak. The two murdeTers buried
the body in the sand, and next day Mrs.
Norton took her two little children and
had them play about over their fathers
grave in order TO obiiterate all traces of the
crime.
In granting a pardon to this man, the
Governor saws it was asked for By the
Mexican Veterans, and that Cotton has been
q good prisoner. in view of his excellent
conduct and declining years." and the Pc
tition of the Mexican Veterans, he is set
free.
THE OTHER PARDoNs
Among the four other pardons granted
was one to Otto Curdts, who was sentenced
from Santa Clara county two years ago for
murder, to serve thirty years. Curdts had
very numerously- signed petition, en-
bracing the names of leading citiz rs of
Santa Clara, and members of the State
Board of Prison Directors. Prior to the
commission of the act he had been
peaceable young man, while his victim
was quarrelsome. These and other miti-
eating circumstances influenced the Gov
ernor in pardonipg him.
Margaret Kerrigan, a woman who should
probably have been sent TO an asylum, in
stead of the penitentiary, is another of the
fortunate ones. While ''out OF her head"
and in fit of jealous rage, caused by her
husbands conduct, she cut another woman
with a razor. She was afterward an in
mate of an insane hospital, but after being
discharged was convicted Of assault to
murder and sentenced TO eight years.
Fred. Meraten and John Donovan, who
were sent to the House of Correction q
little over year ago for forgery, were both
ordered released.

SOME may be deceived by the fancy
that boasting in ones own alley is adver-
Using oneself abroad. But sensible people
know precisely what value to place upon
trumpeting in cellar. No town was ever
yet built up and fostered by mere local
shouting. What the press can best do for
its town is to make it understood abroad,
and to worthily represent it in other parts.
Locally, newspaper can do very much to
stimulate home activity, to promote self
reliance, to correct error and uneconomic
policies, and to encourage enterprise and
investment. But none of these ends are
attained by boom methods, by vainglorious
casting or by extrayagant, ridiculous and
bombastic claims.

CITY ADVERTISING.
The Awarding of the Contract Deferred
Another Week.

4-~S
Another Week.
There was another wrangle among the
City Trustees yesterday over the matter of
awarding contract to do the city's adver-
Using for the coming year. The subject
was brought up by the Mayor, who said
the committee had decided that the Bees
bid was the lowest. The new paper. the
NewS. had put in bid since the others had
been opened, but the Board could hardly
consider it. He thought it would be to
the advantage of the city to wait awhile
and see if they could not engage a certain
space the year round.
Trustee Mclaughlin said he believed q
rate ought to be fixed by the Board for ad-
vertising.
VS. McClatchy, of the Bee, claimed that
it would be unfair to do anything other
than to award the contract to his paper.
Bids had been advertised for, they had
been submitted and opened, and the Bees
had been found to be the lowest. Why
not, then, award it the contract?
The Mayor insisted that the matter be
laid over for one week, and was about to
return the Neius' bid, when Trustee Nc
Laughlin (who had stated that he did not
attempt to delay the matter last week be-
cause uc tAPcCtcu piu " Uc
handed in) objected, and demanded that
tie bid be opened. He made motion to
that effect.
The Mayor declared the motion was out
of order and improper, and he did not pro-
pose to pay any attention to it.
IF you don't open it, I'll leave the
Board |" said Trustee Mclaughlin You
turning to the Mayor are not going TO
run this Board, and I'll see that you
won't ~
"Tm Chairman of this Board" replied
the Mayor, land don't propose to be bull
dozed by you or any other member"
Yes, that's so, you are" answered Nc
Laughlin. "but you had better consider my
motion, or you'll not do another bit of bus
mess in this Board. I'll leave my seat"
We'll, Pll take backwater," said the
Mayor, in confusion. We'll see what the
sense of the Board is on this motion"
II move to throw out all the bidsl"
shouled Mr.. Wolf, and advertise for new
ones"
Mr.. McClatchy objected, claiming that
the motion was unfair to the two papers
that had submitted bids, and especially to
the one which had made the lowest pro-
posal to do the advertising.
After rather heated wrangle between
the members of the Board, Mr.. Wolf with
drew his motion.
Mr.. Mclaughlin forgot about his former
motion, and moved that the Board set
price on the advertising-the same as fixed
by the county.
Mr.. Wolf and the Mayor wanted time to
consider the matter, and it was ordered
postponed until next Monday.

THE Cleveland Leader and Herald, a
strong Republican paper, which believes
in the party thoroughly has the courage
to tell the organization in that neck of
the woods, that it is rotten to the core
that is, the municipal government of Cleve-
land under the domination of the party
has become weak, inefficient, corrupt, and
in need of thorough and immediate re-
form. Partisan journalism rises immensely
when it has the courage to face the party
and tell it of its evils.

A SOBER CAPITOL.

A correspondent of the RECORD UNION,
who keeps a bar with corner grocery at
tachment, enters protest well in advance.
He objects to the State going into compe-
tition with him in the liquor traffic. We
sustain the objection. At the same time
we entertain the high hope that it may
not be necessary to file the protest; that
there will not be opened up in the rooms
of Sergeants-at-Arms at the Capitol, this
winter, or in any other rooms in that
building, rum mills and wine Bullets; we
believe that the incoming custodians of
the Capitol will enforce the law forbidding
the dispensing Of liquors within the build
ing. The people want no more, forever,
such scenes as disgraced the halls of State
two years ago, when drunken harlots
sailed Keeling through the corridors with
wine bottles in hand and petticoats up
chock-a-block while they howled in maud
lin chorus, "White Wings, they never
grow weary" We never again wish too
see the retiring rooms OF legislative
chamber converted into bar-rooms, with
blue-nosed servitors dealing out gin for
com. No, we entertain the belief that
even the "welp will have its jurisdiction
limited to the festive oyster and the placid
cracker; that the State Capitol will remain
sober this winter, and that our friend OF
the bar with the corner grocery attach
ment will not suffer unequal and illegal
competition.
