In 4 private letter to A populist

In a private letter to a popullst
friend in Umatilla county, Gov
,ernor Pennover says; "Of course
\ am populist; and as nine-tenths
\ Of the people Of Oregon favor the
game doctrines, they are populists,
and it is therefore quite reasonable
TO expect sweeping populist VIC
tory in Oregon, If we only keep in
the middle Of the road" It very
nnsiderate Of the governor to con-
cede that one-tenth ofthe people ot
Oregon are republicans and demo-
Gratis. But then that tenth is SUI
\ ficient to rally round. Statesman

CITY ELECTION.

Once again the City Election is
near at hand. On the 4th Of De-
cember next the voters of the city
will be called upon to choose their
officers for the next year.
Neither the tariff nor the silver,
The Chinese nor the Hawaiian ques-
ton, willintuencethe voters. They
will undoubtedly conduct this cleo
ton, as all elections should be CON
Quoted, on strict business principles,
giving their preference to the best
men. At present the town seems
to be peculiarly free from factions
political and otherwise. This is
as It should be. Past experience
has convinced us Of the folly Of
bringing into elections questions of
liquor and anti-liquor, church and
anti,church. The people, of this
place at least, have more than once
demonstrated the fact that they
will not be dominated by petty
factions. Let men run on their
merits for the offices, and not upon
their supposed preference for this
or that faction. Let saints" and
sinners vote for the best men
whether the best man happens to
be a saint" or sinner, as the
voters have more than once been
christened.
The woods are full Of candidates,
hut the candidates have not yet
sufficiently declared themselves for
publication. The list will be given
later.

Pat Spoiled the Duel.

Although it is familiar saying that
an Irishman is. always spelling for a
fight, still there is one kind of fighting
to which even the brave sons of Erin are
sometimes averse-that is, dueling. A
story well illustrating this fact has re-
Gently come to US.
A certain Irishman, having been chal-
lenged to fight duel, accepted the con-
ditions after much persuasion on the
part Of his friends, who felt confident
of his success. His antagonist, lame
man, walked on crutches.
When the place for the shooting had
been reached, the lame mans seconds
asked that he be allowed to lean against
q milestone which happened to be there
The privilege was allowed, and the lame
man took his stand.
The Irishman and his seconds drew of
to the distance agreed upon-10 feet.
Here Pats courage suddenly failed him,
and he shouted to the lame man:
1--WE small favor to ask Of ye, sor."
"What is it," asked the cripple.
Pat answered.:
'sI told We thot We might lean ag'in the
milepost, and now would like the priv
ilege of leaning ag'in the next one"
The laughter which followed spoiled
everybody's desire for fight, and the
whole party went home without shot
having been fred.-Boston Home Jour-

a sisI,op ON Sermons.

One does not look to a prelate for frank
fun, but the bishop of Wakefield, I'M
asked, has rouchsafed some genuine hu-
NOR on the subject of preaching. He
has clearly made g study of the art, and
he divides the modern sermon in seven
species. Thus we have:
"The sesquipedalian-big words hid
ing little thoughts.
"The wishywashy-no explanation re-
quired.
1.-The pyrotechnic-blazing with bril-
liant metaphors and illustrations and
finishing with faint odor of gunpowder.
.'The notwithstanding with stories
some of them good enough once, but
gone bad by keeping.
"The fowery-in which rhyme Is Of
more importance than reason.
"The mellihuous-withc calm, unbrok-
en- flow.
'.The paregoric-against which the
powers of wakefulness fail; like roll of
ribbon, so much alike at all points that
a yard can be cut off anywhere.
Who does not know each and all of
these? This is form Of pastoral which
congregations as rule will not disap-
prove.
In connection with this severe episco-
pal utterance there isa story on the other
side going the ecclesiastical round. A
clergyman prepared to preach two Sun
days since and gave out as his text, "The
devil, like a roaring lion, goeth about
seeking whom he may devour." In the
same breath, before beginning his dis
course, he continued, "Aly friends, you
will probably have heard that the bishop
of Manchester has announced his inten-
ton of visiting every church in his do
cese, and consequently we may very
shortly expect to see him among 50
Black and White.

Perhaps to Do Solved by tho Timely Defeat
OF King Lobcngm!a.
The following communication, bearing
a Washington date, appeared IN recent
issue of the New York Sun: It is Gu
rious that the newspapers of today which
announce the destruction of silver should
also announce the collapse of the Mata-
belle king of country larger than the
Dakotas. In each instance the British
auri sacra flames will be held responsible
by the critical or perhaps hypercritical
chronicler of events.
have always yentured to profess
faith in the infallibility of the Anglo
Saxon races. In this country believe
that the nation is swinging with We
locity perhaps dangerous toward the
freedom of silver, and that seems to be
the view of the triumphant repealers
here today, where the losers are more
elated than the winners.
But in Africa, England is today an
ticipating such production of gold as
will bring back the traditions of Cali
fornia and Ballarat, and the victory of
mere joint stock company over the
forces of Lobengula may now be fol-
lowed by results not less remarkable
than those which in 1S49 followed poor
Marshall's discovery of gold nugget in
the dam at Suffers mill in California.
Until g month ago the only laborers
in Mashonaland, the various Mashona
tribes, were harried by the Matabeles
whenever this fighting horde required q
further supply of wives. The male Ma
shonas were killed. or carried off from
the very old dumps of the gold mines Of
Hartly hill, of Marco or Fort Victoria.
Now Lobengula and his routed "impis"
are in retreat to northward Of the Fam
best. He will be there in the same posi-
ton that was occupied by Sitting Bull
and the Sioux after your catastrophe on
the Little Horn in 1915, when that
mightier Lobengula had retired into the
British northwest.
Today the gold developments in Africa
are of extraordinary interest. The Randi
gold camp at johannesburg, which dates
back only to 1887 and produced but a
monthly average of 10000 ounces in
1883, shows the following Developments:
Monthly Average.
Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1893-11-25

The production of August, if merely
sustained, puts this single camp in adj
vance of the gold production of the en-
tire United States. The estimated prob
abilities of gold mines must be taken
with considerable limitations, but those
who know King Lobengula's territories
and who have visited the various gold
camps in Mashonaland during the past
70 months believe that three or more Of
these camps may prove not less produc-
tive than Johannesberg, and this in eli
mate that is admirably suited to the
white race. The geological conditions,
quartz on the contact of granite and
slate, are very favorable to continued
production. And now that the black
tyrant has disappeared, Your skilled
miners, who have been deprived byyour
legislation of a field for their energies,
may do worse, perhaps, than seek anoth-
er citizenship in the far south under the
protection of the Union Jack.
