Death of Frank T.. Robinson.

Word was received here Tuesday
morning by j. ii. Robin on
that his son Frank had committed
suicide on the morning of the 18th,
while temporarily insane. The par
ticulars, as near as can be learned
at present, are as follows: He was
working on the farm of A.W Loom
is about twelve miles from Spokane.
For some time he had not been
we'll, and being of a nervous tenn
permanent, his reason became i'm
paired and during moment of ir-
responsibility he took his own life
by shooting himself through the
head with a 32-caliber revolver.
The remains were inferred at Spo-
kane, and will be removed to this
place in the future. The family
have the heartfelt sympathy of the
entire community in their sad af-
Fiction, which came like a thunder
clap from out a clear sky.

THE SENATE HAS ACTED.

At last-and after exhausting the
patience Of the most patient and long
suffering people on earth-the American
people-the Senate Of the United States
has passed the act repeating that clause
in the Sherman law which directed the
purchase Of silver bullion.
This action Will produce a profound
sense of relief throughout the land. All
those men who understood the critical
condition OF this country will now breathe
more freely, and all good Democrats, who
feel that the life Of the party depends
upon the soundness Of its principles, and
not upon conciliating a section Of peo-
pie who happen to be under a strong
delusion-a temporary insanity-wlll rise
up and return deep and heartfelt thanks
to that man Of clear head and iron will,
Grover Cleveland, and to all who aided
him in holding out for unconditional
repeal"
Whatever may have been the vagaries
and follies Of some Of its senators, the
Democratic party, as a whole, have
through its administration, "toed the
mark of sound, honest money, and should
receive the praise such stand deserves.
We fear this season is lost for both
mercantile and manufacturing business.
but the first and most important step
has been taken for a great impulse TO
business in the near future. and as soon
as the tariff bill is settled, and the
quicker and lower the better, we will
see such activity in this country as has
not been seen for twenty years.

President Harrison. II has made the
many friends Of that statesman in this
city very angry, and If there was breach
in this city before between the Foraker
and what used 10 be called Administra-
ton men, there is now a gulf. The whole
thing came about, too, at a time when
an especial effort was being made to
promote peace and unity. The Foraker
men here are in complete charge Of the
campaign, and, in arranging Saturday
nights meeting, they saw that about all
the vice-presidents Of the evening about
a hundred, were Sherman, or anti-Fora-
ker. men. This courtesy was intended as
an olive branch, and il would probably
have been accepted as such had Mr.. Fo-
raker not upset all the calculations. He
was telling how he and others had gone
through the country warning the people
what would happen If Harrison was not
elected.
Il was not very much stuck on Harri-
son then, as you all know, and / am not
bit more stuck on him now. for that
matter" he said and then went on with
his speech This was followed a few
minutes later with the declaration that
he would do everything in his power To
give Mckinley $1,000 majority this fan.
and then elect him President in 1895.

,DMIRAL srANroN,s EXPLANATION

Admiral Stanton's explanation OF why
he saluted the insurgent Brazilian. MelIo.
may save him from conviction by a court
martial, but it is Of no sort Of value as
showing that the President should not
have relieved him Immediately from COM
mand in Brazilian waters. The explana-
ton is IN substance that he found a war
ship In the Port Of Rio flying the Brazil
ian flag. and that international law and
the courtesies prevailing between nations
required him either 20 respect II as the
representative OF the Brazilian govern
ment or TO attempt to seize the vessel
carrying 1t as a pirate. That would be
a perfectly good reason for his course II
ne had just arrived there from some dis
tant port and had heard nothing OF what
has been going on In Brazil for the past
few months. But before ne sailed from
the United States he was perfectly APP
prised that an instruction against the
established government was in progress
ane that Mello was the leader Of the In
surrection. He knew. therefore. that Mello
was flying the Brazilian flag in defiance
OF the laws OF his country, and II was his
