Col. w. w. Chapman, who died in
Portland Tuesday afternoon at the
age of 81 years, was one of the oldest
pioneers of the state. He was a man
OF marked ability, of integrity of char
acter and of a public spirit. As the
protector of The Dalles and Sail. Lake
railroad he was the first to initiate the
movement of connecting the northwest
and the east by rail, and lived long
enough to see several transcontinental
lines terminating at his home in Port
land. The state and people will honor
and respect his memory through all
time.

Great Britain is paying more atten-
tion to the presidential campaign in
the United States in 1892 than she
has to any event in the history of the
country since 1865. In the latter
year she was anxiously waiting to see
the great republic go up in smoke and
rebellion, and this fall she expects to
witness the collapse of free institutions
in free trade and bankruptcy. The
patriotism of the people preserved
the union of the states quarter of a
century ago, and the wisdom of the
American voter will maintain the
supremacy of American industries and
American wage-earners in the present
emergency. The sta sbility of our gov
ernment has no surer foundation than
the loyalty of our people, and the per-
manency of protection than the intelli-
gence Of those who have reaped the
benefits

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Democracy and defeat is alliterative
and will be a fact also after Novem-
ber Sth.
The political campaign is very quiet;
but the still hunt sometimes captures
the game
Trains blockaded in Wyoming in
October. That is good state-to i'm
migrate from.
The Dalles, in ten years, will be the
commercial and manufacturing center
of the Inland Empire. This is proph-
ecy.
Hon. James G. Blaine has spoken,
and his voice has the same metallic ring
and the tones are still in unison with
Republican doctrines.
Judge Gresham positively denies
that he has said he will vote for Cleve-
land in November. and this will effect
ually spike the Democratic gun that
was pointed towards Indiana.
If the Democrats cannot break down
the TemescaI tin mine in California
they will lose several thousand votes
in that state; but this can't be done,
and the eldorado of the New World
will be solid for Harrison in Novem-
Der.
Democrats are attempting to secure
the presidency by fusion with the
Populists in some of the western
states. The object of Democracy is
not the benefit of the country, but the
offices, and it has had this end in view
for 10! these many days
The deposits in the savings banks of
free-trade Great Britain amount to
$lS0,000,000. The deposits in the
savings banks of protected United
States amount to $l,623,07 100.
This is very short and PLAIN demon
stration in favor of protection.
The best campaign capital the Dem
ocrats have are the growls of Wayne
MacVeagh against the Republicans,
and he was particeps crinaiais. Such
testimony is rarely admitted in evil
dence; and, if it is, it leaves the wit
ness with an unenviable reputation.
A Democratic exchange says Gov.
Pennoyer is suffering under the more
''serious stage of oppressive disap-
pointment." We never knew "disap-
pointment" to be otherwise, and we
believe this will be a truthful dag
nosis OF Mr.. Cleveland's condition
after November.
Democrats may prate all they please
about the selfshness of protection, the
fact is there is no patriotism that is not
selfish, and he who does not care for
his own country more than any other
mnst be classed in the same list with
some who do not occupy very enviable
position on the pages of history.
Mr.. MacVeagh, who was attorney
general under President Garfield, is
telling what he knows about Republi-
can administrations; but, it is some
what strange, if what lie says is true,
be could affiliate with those for long
years whom he now SO bitterly con-
demns. Undoubtedly the gentleman
thinks his race is run with the Repub-
ican party, and he wants to begin |
anew with the opposition.
The Popullsts oppose the national
system. when it has furnished
he best currency the country has ever
enjoyed. They favor the government
,wning and controlling the railroads
md telegraphs in the country, and if
his plan were adopted it would soon
meet with their opposition to make an
ssue in a presidential campaign or
urnish something at which calamity
lowlers could make complaints.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. IS.-It is re,

He Loves Merry England Too Much.
Joseph Fernas, a gentleman of Bel
gian extraction, is a standing protest
against those unpatriotic Englishmen
who continually decry British art and
the British climate and spend their
money in inspecting statues and pictures
in distant countries instead of searching
for the beauties of their own He comes
from the land of Quentin Matsys and
Peter Paul Rubens, but think you that
his artistic soul is satisfied with the pro-
ductions of these foreigners? Not bit
of it.
His ideal of really high art is to be
found among the statues of London.
For half day he would stand before
Charles Fox, sitting in Russell square,
clothed in as much of a Roman toga as
can be seen through a sturdy accumu-
lation of remnants of fogs. "AhI'' he
used to cry; ''that's something like art. :,
And when he got tired of this view he
patiently trudged to Charing Cross to
gaze upon the magnificent statue of
Charles l, covered from top to toe with
the splashings of omnibuses and ham
SONS. Why should a man with such
high tastes and appreciation of British
art find himself in the North London
police court2
The fact is Fernas is in receipt Of
pension of forty pounds year, which is
payable in his native city of Ghent. The
moment he receives his annual allow.
ance he comes over TO London to spend
it in gazing upon the statues aforesaid
and visiting our museums. When at
the end of the year it is all gone the con-
sui has to pay his passage back to Ghent,
where he draws fresh sum and repeats
the experiment. A policeman found him
wandering on Stamford hill without
any means of subsistence and unable to
speak word of English. He was wait
ing to be sent home by the consul, but |
as he had one or two coppers left, this |
compensation was for the moment unat-
tainable. The magistrate discharged |
him, and in day or two when real i'm
pecuniosity has set in, no doubt the Bel
gian authorities will see him properly
off. So many aliens come to our shores
without penny in their pockets that a
person like Joseph Fernas stands out as
an agreeable relief.-London Telegraph.

A DREAM.

EDITOR VOICE: Here is how a man
dreamed his way out of the old party
as it was given to US: My friend, he
said, / dreamed that |, with a large
company of men, was travelling in a
sOuthweSterly direction, when we
came to a sharp decline. A railroad
was there whose direction was from
east to west. The railroad, by short
curve, changed its direction south
ward and passed over a piece of swamp
land on high treStle. Our friend
and his company started over this
treStle. As they passed over they
saw on the marsh below holes sunk so
deep there was no bottom to them
and it seemed dangerous to 90 fur
ther. He begged of his friends to re-
turn with him to the solid earth from
whence they had departed, but as
they would not be persuaded he told
them he should return alone, and
stared for the solid ground once more,
but the party kept straight ahead.
When he was safe on land once more
he sat on a heap of stones, from forty
to fifty in number, which afterward
changed to so many states. As he
sat there he watched the company of
men going farther and farther out on
that dangerous treStle over all Of
those bOttomlesS pits, for each pit
seemed to have water in it. He
watched this company of men con-
tinue-he heard them talking as they
went, but finally they passed into a
mist of darkness and vanished from
his sight. But still he heard them
talking, until at last he heard the
treStle break with crash and it went
down with the company of men. As
it fell he could hear the men cry,
help! help! we are lost, help. But no
help could be extended to them.
Soon their voices died away and he
saw a passenger train coming at the
rate of forty miles an hour, until it
reached the curve, when the engineer
whiStled down brakes and the train
checked her whole length on the
trestle. He watched that crowded
train and the engineer stepped down
from his seat in the cab with a lantern
in his right hand and with an iron
rod in his left hand he controlled the
engine that pulled the train load of
human souls. As he walked the
train moved on until it was within
few feet of where the bridge gave
way. The light from the train and
the lantern revealed the fact that a
long span of the bridge had given
way and the men had gone into the
abyss below, which was bOttOmleSS,
and when the engineer had the train
stopped, he cried with a loud voice,
"Thank God for reform" A lady on
the train echoed the same-"thank
God for reform" Away across the
abyss he heard a great multitude
raise their voices in praise to God for
sending national reform and after
wards he was permitted to see the
dangerous pits turn to dangerous leg
islatiOn.
We have given his dream as hegave
it to us. We will only add this: that
if you were with him one hour and be
failed to say something for the re-
form cause, we should say he was
backslididing. Yours,

Martin of Topeka. His speech was a

In referring to Hon. Jerry Slmpson
he said he had never met the gentle
