THREE days after President Har-
rison was elected to the Chief Magis-
tracy of this nation he rendered
James G. Blaine his present position
as keeper OF the portfolio of State.
Do the democracy imagine that
they can create discussions between
men who are 80 closely united in sem
timent, in politics, in policy, and in
ingram Americanism as are these
men? 1t Is idle to think SO. The
very effort to create a division, COM
ing from such source, will necessa-
rily serve to draw closer the bonds OF
political union between them. This
divisional policy is most shortsight.
ed.
WHAT will the democrats do with
Blaine? They are endorsing him all
over the country. The republican
party has lost none of its admiration
for the man whose eagle eye guards
the sealing grounds of the far north
AID whose strong hand opens the
gates of South American trade t.
Uncle Sans merchants, artisans ant
farmers. Can it be that the democ
racy are preparing to join with the re
publicans to nominate Mr.. Blaine by
reclamation in 1892. 1t certainl,
looks that way. Verify the demo
cracy are at sea.

His Well Runs Gold and Silver

His Well Runs Gold and Silver.
From the Pixies Peak Herald.
There is q wonderful we'll down
near Del Norte. 1t is an artesian
well with an abundant flow of pure
water, sufficient to irrigate a consid-
cradle amount of land. That would
be enough for any one but am a San
Luis man. But this Is mineral water.
1t is effervescent, very palatable, and
extremely healthful. Nor is this all;
the force of the water brings up from
the depths an occasional lump of ma
tive silver or a gold nugget. The
frugal farmer has placed sack OF
wire netting over the mouth of the
we'll to catch the metal and pre-
vent it from choking the cows. Local
scientists claim that at a great depth
and under enormous pressure, the
water is washing away q ledge OF
rock, whose softer parts go into solu-
ton, and give the water its mineral
qualities, but whose gold and silver,
not being dissolved, are brought tC
the surface in q metallic state.

JEALOUSY THE CAUSE.
A Husband Shoots His Wife
and Then Himself.
THE SCENE IN A BAWDY HOUSE
A Barkeeper the Cause of the
Double Killing-The Woman
Was infatuated.

PORTLAND, Or, Sept. 16.-At o'clock
this morning an awful tragedy occurred
in bawdy house kept by Agnes West,
on Third and Salmon streets. Charles
Whallcy, a cable car conductor, whose
wife. Annie Whalley, aged 2S, was an
inmate of the house, shot his wife with
a revolver, and then sent ball through
his own brain, dying instantly. The
woman was removed to the Good
Samaritan hospital In the afternoon,
where she died at $3.50 o'clock this
evening jealousy was the cause of the
bloody tragedy.
Whalley and his wife came here last
July from Spokane Falls and registered
at the International hotel. Being una.
BILE to obtain work, they agreed that she
should follow fast lie to earn living,
which she did by entering on the first Of
the month the house where the shooting
occurred. When she married Whalley
in New York four years ago she was at
the time leading career of infamy. He
took her from low as associates, and, being
wealthy, provided for her so sumptuously
that all of the money was soon gone.
While In the house the woman became
desperately infatuated with o BARTENDER
named Al Sears.
Whalley visited the house at o'clock
this morning, and going to his wife's
room, remained there several hours,
talking pleasantly, in company with
several of the inmates OF the place.
About 3 o'clock Sears called TO see Mrs.
Whalley, who left the room. This ag-
gravated Whalley, and he searched
fhrnnyh ha D. T,,r has k,,t hla
to find her. lie then returned to tho
room, where he remained two hours and
then left. Early this morning he ap-
peared at the cable company's Off and
resigned his position. Then, going TO his
lodging house. he changed his clothes,
and, getting a revolver, proceeded to
Agnes Vests house. The Chinese cook
admitted him, and be went directly to
his wltes room. A few minutes later
the occupants were startled by the re-
port of five pistol shots, and entering
the room, discovered Whalley lying
dead OH the floor with bullet hole in
the head.
The woman was In bed bleeding pro-.
fusely from four wounds, one in the
right side penetrating the lung, another
in the back, another in the left shoulder
and fourth in the head, just in front of
the right ear. The shots were fired so
close that every wound was powder
burnt
The police patrol wagon was called
and the body of Whalley taken to the
morguc, and physicians summoned, who
did everything to save the woman's life,
but the wounds, as could be seen from
the first were fItal
An inquest was held on Whalley's
body this evening" hut nothing new was
elected. The inquest on the woman
will be held tomorrow.
Sears, the barkeeper. who was the
cause of the terrible tragedy, is well
known in this city, having worked in
the Banquet and other high toned sa-
looms, He was formerly barber.
Annie Whalley was not backward in
stating, even before her husband, her
preference for sears, and declared that
she would never live with anyone else.
She intimated to her companions that
she believed her husband would kill her
sooner or later.

THE DROWNING OF HAMILTON.
MIR. Green Confirms ths Truth OF the
Report,

LOUISVILLE, KY, Sept le-J. o.
Green arrived in this city last night. He
confirms the truth of the finding of
Robert Ray Hamilton's body in Snake
river.
Mr.. Green says that there is no doubt
that the body found was that OF Robert
Hamilton, in spite of the doubts ex.
pressed in New York. The body had
been in tho water many days. Hamil-
ton probably attempted to ford the
river at night. He was agood swimmer,
and probably cast himself loose from
the horse and attempted to swim ashore.
His spurs were clogged with water weeds,
and may be they cost him his life. There
were no marks of violence on the body.

FARMERS SHOULD ORGANIZE.
An Address by Chsuncey Nj. Depew
at Syracuse.

SYRACUSE, Sept. 16.-Ghauncey NJ.
Depew addressed large audience at the
state fair to-day. Irthe course of his
speech, referring to the recent agricult-
ural depression, besides the largely in
creased production, he found further
cause for it in the attempts of specula-
tors to corner the markets. In view of
the depression brought about by these
causes, he said:
ut becomes the highest duty of the
American statesman and the American
farmer to look about for the remedies.
The first act of the farmer should be to
intelligently organize. In the present
condition of the world organization is a
necessity OF existence. Capital organizes
in corporations; labor organizes in
trades unions manufacturers organize
for protection; the farmers alone have
failed to unite in any efficient and prac-
tical way"
In conclusion Mr. Depew said, that in
his Judgment we are near the bottom of
the grave of agricultural depression, and
will soon begin to climb up on the other
side

SPIRIT OF THE HOME PRESS
WANT UNJUST LAWS REPEALED.


Pasco Headlights A determined effort
will be made at the coming Oregon
legislature to secure the repeal of the
usury and mortgage tax laws which
have resulted in serious injury to the
industries of Oregon and stunted the
growth of the state and secure n revised
system oftaxation, calculated to free the
channels of trade ana attract the invest
ment OF outside capital. 1t is well
known that the mortgage tax and usury
laws have driven millions of Oregon
capital into Washington to the real
benefit of the state, and the large capt
talists in Oregon have used every effort
to keep outside capital from coming
there. The enactment and maintenance
of obnoxious laws has always been
charged to the farming element, but the
impression Is now becoming general
that the wealthy bankers have influenced
the country members of the legislature
to keep these laws on the statute books.
The chamber of commerce has taken
hold OF the matter aud will use every
effort to secure better laws.

FRIDA Y.
The senate Stiil Consid ering the For
feiture Bill.

WAsHINGToN, Sept 12.--The day
In the senate was taken up en-
tirely by speeches on the forfeiture BILL.
Senator Morgan, OF Alabama, spoke yes
terday four hours in opposition to the
bill, and to-day he took three hours to-
conclude his remarks. The burden of
his speech was that the bill was bad
one EXTREMITY inquitous, wholly in the
interests of monoplies and corporations
and so bad in fact, that it was a disgrace
to congress, yet If the bill had excepted
from the forfeiture forty miles of land in
Alabama, whore the company to which 1t
was granted built six miles of
road twcnty-six years ago and
has not built any since,
lie would be willing to support it. Sem
ator Sanders, OF Montana, occupied the
balance of the day in an argument in
favor of tho bill. He showed the fallacy
OF n recent decision by Judge Sawyer,
which said that the title even to mining
lands had passed to the railroad COM
panies by the grants. Mr.. Sanders said
that MIR. Sawyer's decision would except
from the grant only such mining lands
as was known to contain mineral at the
tlme the grant was made, while he
claimed that mineral land was forever
exempted, no matter when the minerals
are discovered. The Northwestern
senators. especially those along the line
of the Northern Pacific road, took CON
siderable interest in the speech, although
they were prepared to vote long ago. 1t
is only question of time when the con-
ference report will be agreed to, as the
senate, which passed the bill. will agree
to tho conference report. Tho Oregon
and Washington people are anxious to
have the bill disposed of and out Of the
way, rs the people of these states have
been urging its passage.

MONDAY
RIGHTS OF SETTLERS.
They Are Protected In the Forfeiture
Bill.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10. Senator Plumb
to-day reported the indefinite postpone
ment of a bill introduced some time ago
by Senator Mitchell, designed to protect
settlers on triangular section of land in
Washington state, embracing 270 600
acres, now valued for agricultural pIr-
poses. The question as to the validity
to the titles arises from the fact that the
terminal line of the Northern Pacific
grant was changed from its first loca-
tion. The settlers purchased from the
company, supposipg that the land was q
part of the grant. Afterward the agent
of the company was recognized by the
government. The secretary OF the in
terror believes the rights of the settlers
were amply protected by the existing
legislation. To avoid any possible in
justice to the settlers provision allow
ing them to perfect title was added to
the land grant forfeiture bill, so the bill
reported to-day, was unnecessary.
