A R0USING MAJORITY
Olympia Will Probably Get
the Capital.
SPLIT IN WALLA WALLA COUNTY
The Complexion of the Next Leg
islature-All but Twelve
Republicans.

PORTLAND, Or. Oct 25.-Ths Oregon
ion tomorrow will contain the follow
ing special from Spokane Falls written
by its correspondent who was detailed
to write up the political affairs oil the
state:
Visits to the four principal cities OF
tho state and access to authentic reports
bearing upon the political situation In
every county makes two things ap-
parent, viz;
First--John l.. Wilson will be re-
elected to congress by from 1000 to
$1,000 majority, according to the full
ness oil the republican vote
Second-Olympia will be chosen the
permanent capital of the state with q
majority of from 5000 to Is, coo.
John H. Wilson is by long odds the
most popular man in Washington to-
day. Last year ho was n party man
this year man Of the people. Last
year he carried every county except
Franklin, and it went only twenty -four
against him. This year 1t looks as if he
would carry every county in the state.
lie is immensely popular in the eastern
part Of the state because of the grea,
he entered congress. lie brought about
the survey and opening to settlement oi
large tracts OF land; the restoration to
the public domain of large portion oi
the Colville country; the appropriation
oi $1,000 for surveys, and the promise oil
$4,000 more, IL needed. Besides, his vote
on the tariff bill and on the compound
lard bill, his land Office fee bill,
his vote on tho meat inspection
bill and his efforts TO shorten the oues-
tions at the land offices have gained
favor for him. His Endorsement by the
Farmers Alliance of Whitman county
shows what the farmers think OF the
tariff law. Congressman Wilson, during
his first year in congress, accomplished
more for Washington than all its ter
rtorial delegates combined ever did.
This is due partly to the fact that Wash.
ington is "A state, and its delegation is
now ina position to demand things
which Ii dared not ask before. From
all parts of the state has come demand
ior the re-election of John l.. Wilson,
and the response will be heard OH cleo
tion day.
THE ESTIMATE or MS FRIENDS.
Congressman Wilson = friends here are
confident that his majority will be from
1900 to Is 600 II the republicans get out
and vote. However, they are making
allowance for the apathy, borne OF over
confidence, which prevails in the party
everywhere, and are very conservative
in the estimates. Those who are closest
10 the congressman ana who have his
knowledge ol the run of things make the
majority little more than II was last
year. by counties IL is as follows.

GLADsToNE's TOUR.
Lawful, Combination of Workings me.
Advised.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-In a speech at West
Calder to-day, Gladstone referred to the
result of the Eccles election as forecast
of the triumph of the liberals in the com
ing general elections. He advocated the
principle of one man, ono vote and
shorter parliaments. Commenting upon
the enormous power the workingmen
now possess, he said II would prove BEN
efcial,a ,as the judgment Of great questions
by the masses were moro enlightened
than by the educated classes. He would
not venture a decided opinion on the
eight-hour bill until he saw definite
measure. lie was inclined to think
eight hours enough for miners.
Speaking of the struggle between labor
and capital, he said that among the
means that workingmen ought to select
in order to strengthen their position
Lawful combination was the most valua-
BILE. The bulk of what men have gained
In the contest with capitalists has been
through judicious com mbination.

Congrcssman Wilson'S friends think that II

small vote.
Here in Spokane county nearly every.
body swears by Congressman Wilson.
Secretary Leghorn. of the county COM
mittee, estimates that his majority will
be between 100 and 800. The inside
figure is a conservative estimate. I'm.
der favorable circumstances the ma
jJrity will be from 1000 to 1, 200. His
vote Tor the increased duty on lead
which means the deyelo pment of the
great mines tributary to Spokane Falls,
will gain $50 or 800 votes. Men on the
inside say the city will give him 700
majority, which means LOO in the
county. The party is well organized
here and there il less apathy than in
any other county. The Turner faction
has not fully recovered from its
soreness, but the detection is
scarcely noticeable. 1t is less than
might be expected after such
bitterly contested primaries. The demo-
Gratis have been making great deal of
capital out of the fact that Turner came
near defeating Wilson in the primaries.
1t must bo remembered that the ma
ioriiy of the votes polled for Turner
men were democrats, All the demo-
cratic healers in the city worked with
might and main for him. Their war-cry
was, Defeat Wilson," no matter how II
vas done.

icntatives from the Fourth district, which

Against him that heis not n man OF

Hanson. He is u man of means, a good,
honest fellow and will receive the full
Swedish vote. j. NJ. Buckley, formerly
superinten of the Northern Pacific
at Tacoma, and John Pigott are tho
prominent democratic candidates in the
district. The democrats are confident OF
electing both, but as the district is the
republican stronghold in the county, the
majority being $50 they will have to dc
some very tall rustling to win. The
republicans say Reinhart and Hanson
can not he defeated.
CALKiNs BEsTED IN SPOKANE.
In Spokane county Judge Calkins had
to lock horns with his old foe, Samuel
I. Hyde, who was candidate for the
United States senatorship last Novem-
Der, and was subsequently supported
by Senator Squire for the United States
Judgeship. 1t is said that Judge Calkins

WHERE will the great land slide stop ?
1t started in New Hampshire, swept the
old Bay State, took in Little Rhody on
it's march, held Connecticut down,
swept the Empire State, did not forget
the Jerseys, overwhelmed the Keystone
State, overlapped on to Maryland, Del
aware and the Virginias, embraced the
states to the gulf, spread over Ohio and
all the valleys of the great lakes and
Mississippi, crossed the plains of Ne
braska, and even climbed the rock
ribbed mountain heights of Colorado.
Republican rottenness lies everywhere,
from the Atlantic to the Rocky noun
tains, buried beneath the indignation of
the people. Only that irredeemably
rotten borough, Nevada, and coin-cor-
rupted California escaped. But their
turn too will come. The intelligence
and honesty of the people will
do to bank on. All good men
will soon forget their party ties and
unite for the common good, the good of
their country, and rebuke the money
power in politics in California too. Then
Doodle will no longer be king, despite the
slavish disposition OF the Barbary coast
and Tar fat.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-11-06
A POLITICAL HARL0T,

In the case of our own state 1T must be
said that Doodle is king. There has not
been time in the history Of California
when sack of large dimensions and
plethor;c distension would not flop her
like fapiack in the hands OF first
class cook. Her political complexion is
as changeable as that of chameleon, and
above all she never fails to respond to the
color of double eagles, or the silver sheen
OF daddy dollars. We say this with no
lack of appreciation of the sterling
worth of the mass of the people. But
the proletariat of the slums of the
breezy Bay city is SO numerous and fol-
lows the scent of coin in an election
with so much of the same eagerness as a
buzzard does the scent of carrion on the
plains under an August sun, that the
whole state may be swung from side to
side like shuttlecock. 1t is disgrace
of no ordinary nature that this should
be so. But there it is, and there is why
California goes Republican in this year
of grace. That is the alpha and omega
of Tuesdays election.

the country, manners and customs, and
a hundred things that will be needful.
II. If by integrity, industry and well
earned success you deserve well of your
fellow citizens, they may, in years to
come, ask you to accept honors. Do not
seek them, do not receive them while
you are young-wait, but when you are
established you may make your fathers
name known with honor in halls OF leg
islation. Lastly, do not forget your
fathers and your mothers God. Be-
cause you will be largely deprived of
church privileges, you need all the
nerve to keep your heart before God.
But do not despise small churches and
humble preachers. ''Mind not high
things, but condescend to men OF low
estate"
Read often the Proverbs, the precepts
and duties enjoined in the New Testa-
ment. May your fathers God go with
you and protect you.

The Bones of NIirabeau.

A couple of years ago there was great
quest for the bones of Mozart. Now it
is for the bones of Mirabeau. The play
ground of boys school near the Boule-
ward Saint Marcel has been torn up, and
an amazing number of bones and skele-
tons have certainly been discovered, but
no one can say which of them are the re-
mains of the great hero of the Revolu-
ton. The skeleton, wherever it is, has
had strange experiences. Mirabeau died
in 1871, and on the 4th of April his body
was conveyed with extraordinary pomp
to the Pantheon. His was the first in
terment in the great temple that was to
hold the ashes of the noblest Frenchmen.
A couple of years afterward papers
were discovered that proved the peoples
idol had received considerable sums of
money from Louis XVI. So it was de-
cided to cancel the public burial, and, in
fact, to remove the bones. This was in
effect done, but they should be buried
somewhere. The leaden coffin was car
ried off to the cemetery of Saint Marcel,
a grave yard used for the interment of
criminals. And now when the bones
are wanted they cannot be identified
No leaden coffin can be discovered, and
the authorities are uncertain whether to
select skeleton and do it vicarial hon.
age or let matters revert to their old
condition.-Pall Mall Gazette.

ADVICE TO A YOUNG MAN.
Henry Ward Beecher's Instructions to
His Son.

His Son.
The following letter from Henry Ward
Beecher to his son is declared on good
authority never to have been published.
1t is reminiscent of the worldly good
sense of the advice given to Laertes by
Polonius, but it is also permeated by the
leaven of christian experience. The
precepts IN it are those which, if fol-
lowed, would produce a good man as
we'll as gentleman.
BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. 18, 1S7S.-My
Dear Herbert: You are now for the first
time really launched into life for your
self. You go from your fathers house
and from all family connection, to make
your own way in the world. 1t is good
time to make new start, to cast out
faults of whose evil you have had an ex-
perience, and to take on habits the want
of which you have found so damaging.
l. You must not 60 into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil. Make it a
fundamental rule: No debt-cash or
nothing.
2. Make few promises. Religiously
observe even the smallest promise. A
man who means to keep his promises
can not afford to make many.
3. Be scrupulously careful in all state
ments. Accuracy and perfect frank.
ness, no guesswork. Either nothing or
accurate truth.
4. When working for others sink
yourself out of sight, seek their inter-
est. Make yourself necessary to those
who employ you, by industry, fidelity
and scrupulous integrity. Selfshness
is fatal.
5. Hold yourself responsible to high
er standard than anybody else expects
of you. Demand more of yourself than
anybody else expects of you. Keep
your personal standard high. Never
excuse yourself to yourself. Be a hard
master to yourself, but lenient to every
body else.
6. Concentrate your force on your own
proper business; do not turn off. Be
constant, steadfast, peTsevering.
Z. The art of making ones fortune is
to spend nothing; in this country anv
intelligent and industrious young man
may become rich if he stops ali leaks
and is not in a hurry. Do not make
haste; be patient.
8. Do not speculate or gamble. You
60 to land where everybody is excited
largely and without working forit. They
blow soap bubbles. Steady, patient in
dustry is both the surest and the safest
way. Greediness and haste are two
devils that destroy thousands every year.
0. In regard to Mr.. B, he is a
southern gentleman; he is receiving you
as favor to me; do not let him regret
it.
10. beseech you to correct one fault
severe speech OF others; never speak evil
OF any man, no matter what the facts
may be. Hasty fault-finding and severe
speech of absent people is snot honorable,
is apt To be unjust and cruel, makes ene-
mics to yourself and is wicked.
II. You must remember that you go to
Mr.. B. not to learn to manage farm
like his. One or two hundred acres, not
10000, is to be your future homestead !;
but you can learn the care of cattle,
sheep, the culture of wheat, the climate,

Officials in the prisons frequently have
considerable difficulty in securing a
faithful photograph CT criminals whose
pictures are needed for the rogues' gal
lery, as the subject has occasionally a
trick of distorting his features just at
the moment of exposure. 1t has been
suggested that by fastening the sitter in
a chair in connection with a powerful
electric current the difficulty will be
overcome. 1t is thought that any tenn
