ANYTHING TO BEAT D0LPH

There is determined effort on the
part of the Democratic party in this
state to defeat Senator Dolph's re-
election, and nearly every paper in
harmony with Democracy has some
thing to say about Mr.. Dolph's attitude
on the momentary question. A few
days ago We published an editorial
paragraph from the Baker City Dem
ocrat stating that Eastern Oregon was
in favor of unlimited coinage, and the
members of the legislature from this
portion of the state should not support
Mr.. Dolph, with his pronounced views
in favor of the single standard, The
following from the Eugene Guard, an
other Democratic exchange, is of the
same import:
"a large majority of the people of
Oregon are in favor of free coinage of
SILVER, and therefore it does not sur
prise anyone that there is open revolt
in the Republican party against the
re election of j. N. Dolph to the SEN
ate. Dolph is an ultra single standard
gold man, and does not represent his
constituents on the great financial
question, 1t is to be hoped he will be
defeated and his place supplied by
some one who will favor the restora-
ton of silver to its former and proper
place in our monetary system"
Republicans should not be misled
by these Democratic tactics. The
Democrats of Oregon would rather
zee sny other man in the United
States senate than Mr. Dolph, and for
well known reasons. He has proved
himself an able advocate of Rspubli-
can principles, and if new man were
TO take his place the west would lose
one of its most sturdy champions of
protection and Democracy one of it's
worst enemies. Before the election
last June there was considerable news. ]

CONNECTICUT.
Nov 2 John M. Simms Camp, 49, of SIAM
ford, had a very interesting meeting. 1t was
arranged compliment TO Commander Valen-
tine, of the Division, and Commander Blake
man, of the Department Brother Burke, of
Danbury, was present, and a pressing in itation
was sent to Mallory Camp, II, of Bridgeport.
But only few OF the Bridgeport brothers
were present. After the meeting proper they
adjourned to another room, where a bountiful
supper was prepared. and it is needless to say
That all did proper justice TO it. During the
evening speeches were in order. and they began
with one from Commander Valentine Ho
made splendid address, speaking principally
of the work they have DONE and what they
have TO accomplish In his address he said
that historians, in writing accounts of the late
rebellion, always left it to the inference of the
persons studying the same as to viii CHI side was
in the right For his part he thought they
should come right out plain and say the South
was in the wrong, as it was, and the North was
right. He also said that to belong to the Sons
Of Veterans is to belong to one of the noblest
organizations earth. The Church and the
GAR were, in hissopinon the only ones
higher. The Savior died that all mankind
might be free. The men who enlisted in the
late war gave their lives that race might be
free. Therefore, the g. A. K. stood next to the
Church. and to be called a Son of d Veteran was
one of the highest honors person could have.
Snort add dresses were made by others, and al
together it was most enjoyable time.
The smoke has just cleared away from a
great political battle here. and all Sons Of Vet
Grams have reason to rejoice over the result.
All Sons OF Veterans should make it their bust

derstood to be favorable to the old soldier.

who is holding an influential Government

the other day he showed his favoritsm by dis.
charging two employees, who were both Sons Of
Veterans, and without any valid reason for
same. We have altogether too many of such
people among US at this time. If any favor is
to be shown why not show it to those who made

seed, the Indian hermit caused the pot to rise
gradually from the boys head, and as it rose
the mango seed sprouted and grew rs the other
had done, except that the mango did not at
tain rs great size.
Again filling the same pot with water, and
placing 1t upon the boys head, the fakir drew
from 1t a small fish. This he placed in larger
jar, and in . few minutes drew out a fish Of
much greater sizs This fish he again put back.
and In q moment took from the jar some In
dian cakes, in which were sandwiched cold
slices of cooked fish. The small pot was then
offered to Mr.. Stevens, and it contained ice
cold sherbet.
Coming back to the bamboo sticks. the old
man grasped one of them, as he had done in
the snake trick, and, while he held it out it
budded and grew at the further end. The foil
age disappeared as it had come, slowly and
then the old man laid the rod down, and, NOV.
ing away some distance exerted his powers,
and it began slowly to rise in the air. When
it had risen to hight of few feet bird sud-
denly appeared sitting upon the rod.
The hermit took round basket and filed it
with branches from the surrounding shrubbery.
This he placed upon the ground. and in few
moments it too rose, and remained suspended
in the air, while Mr.. Stevens made picture of
it. Then came the most interesting of all the
feats.
The old man tucked the smaller of the Indian
boys into the round basket, and hoisted basket
and all to the top of the three bamboo poles.
Leaving it there moment while Mr.. Stevens
took picture of it, the old man next withdrew
one pole. Mr.. Stevens took another picture.
Then the old man took away a second pole,
leaving only one under the basket. and that at
one side. Again Mr.. Stevens took picture,
and then third pole was removed. MIR. Stew
ems then photographed the basket and boy
standing upon nothing.
The National tribune., 1894-11-15

There is much that passed between the two
which Mr. Stevens is not ready to tell, nor does
he pretend to give record of the feats In the
order in which they were performed. They
occupied nearly the whole of day, and in the
course Of that day Mr.. Stevens says he learned
from the old devotee the secret Of the power by
which the laws of nature seemed to be set aside
While he does not pretend that he is able to
perform these seeming miracles himself, he says
that with the knowledge which he will impart
will be men ia this part Of the world who will
be able to reproduce them.
Mr.. Stevens wishes 10 particularly understood
that when his final disclosures are made these
will but emphasize the genuineness and impor-
lance of the Bible miracles.
The following was the simplest of the mar
wells he saw: The hermit took two bamboo
poles each about six feet long and stood them
up in the ground few feet apart. Standing
away from them, he put himself in Of his
favorite attitudes for cxerting his power. stand
ing with his HANDS pressed together aud his
arms extended. Presently the pole nearest TO
him began to move, and slowly it bent toward
him. Passing now to the other side OF the
poles, and holding his arms out to the other
pole, that one also began moving toward him.
Now strengthening the sticks, Mr. Stevens
placed upon the top of each one of his own
handkerchief. The hermit dropped to his
other attitude of power, sitting upon his
launches and with his hands still extended
Presently the handkerchief nearest to him be-
gan TO futter toward him as If blown by strong
wind. while the other remained drosping and

tomb at Riverside Park. has been commissioned
to design statue of the General TO be placed
in one of San Francisco's principal parks, and
has gone to New York to copy that bust at
Riverside Park.
The fund for this monument was started
soon after the death of Gen. Grant, but interest
died out, and for long time the plan was
abandoned. Three of the members of the

ton To build the statue. and are now soliciting

The three sticks were made again into tri.
pod, and one of the boys was suspended from
it in muslin bag which Mr.. Stevens had
brought. Under the old hermit's influence the
bag began to shrink until it hung fiat aud
limp. The boy had vanished. Then the bag
began to fill out again, the boys face appeared
in the opening, and in a moment he sprang out
and salaamed to Mr.. Stevens.
The old man seized one of the boys by the
small cotton shirt lie wore. and pulled this over
the boys head. Then with the other hand he
grasped one of the bamboo rods and began polk.
ing it down apparently into the boys head.
Slowly but surely the rod disappeared. 1t was
six feet or more long. while the boy was not
more than half as tall, and his shirt was very
much shorter than the boy.
Mr.. Stevens tells of many other things which
he saw that day, and shows pictures of many of
them. There was one of the tricks of the In
dian fakirs, which is perhaps as famous as any
of the others, but of which Mr.. Stevens says he
could take no pictures. This was the rope
trick. The fakir threw rope up into the air,
and it remained suspended. Then one of the
boys climbed up it, and as he assembled tiger
