Rsnaid Mcdonald, the Oldest Pioneer
OF the Pacific North west.
Ranald Mcdonald, who died on the Col
vile reservation August 25. undoubtedly
outran ked the late Thomas Stensgar, who
was said to have been the oldest pioneer
OF Washington. Stensgar came TO the
Northwest in 1896, while Mcdonald was
born at Astoria. Or. in 1919. being the
son OF Archibald Mcdonald. q Hudson
Bay trader, and old Chief Comcomly's
daughter Every one who has read lrv-
ing's Astoria" remembers Comcomly.
As soon as young Ranald reached school
age be was sent overland to Winnipeg.
where he entered the school maintained
there by the Hudson Bay Company and
remained there until he arrived At his ma
iority. As soon as he was out of school he
returned 10 the Coast and embarked as
sailor on a merchant ship. BY some cir
cumstance he became stranded on the
coast OF Japan, where be was taken in
custody by the officers of the government
and placed in PRISON for the offense of
treading on the sacred ground of the mi
kado. He says that his youthful appear
anoe doubtless saved him from serving q
life sentence. The chief magistrate OF the
city where he was captured sent him un-
der an armed escort to the court
of the king. who made him SER
want in the palace AS soon
rs IL was certain that his presence in
Japan would not work the absolute over
throw OF the government this youthful
stranger was placed in charge of q teacher.
aud in turn impaired knowledge of the
English language TO his preceptor and also
made known TO the island empire some of
the ways and customs of the American
people. BY some means Mr.. Mcdonald
got word 20 his own government and was
rescued by an American cruiser after
spending about four years on the islands.
lie clai med that this incident of adventure
was the opening wedge TO the negotiations
for a commercial treaty between the United
States and Japan.
At the time when Cleveland unfolded
his Hawaiian policy of infamy, proposing
20 restore the discarded queen. some of
Ranald McDonaId's friends put in a word
for him, asking that. in case the attempt
TO restore Queen Lii succeeded, Mcdonald,
the grandson and heir OF Chief Comcomly,
be restored to the ancient Chinook king
dom at the mouth OF the Columbia Ii is
said Mcdonald left valuable memoirs,
which are TO be published.

Congress is diminished the populists will
take the lion s share of the gain to the oppo-
sltion. The republican hypothesis that be-
cause the people have not got all the tariff
reform they voted for in 1892. and some of
their leaders have proven themselves con-
temptable. they will turn McKinleyites in
1884 and insist on throwing away the small
lnstallment OF progress they have secured
and all prospect of getting another, lacks
probability. 1t is theory, but not a con-
ditioE. The populists may score transient
gain by the help of disappointed, despond-
ent and angry voters. The republicans are
simply dreaming things that cannot come
true. McKinleyism is fading mirage 1t
will have disappeared entirely from the po-
litical skies of 1896, and Gormanism along
with it.

Long trains of canvas-covered wagons pass
tally through Plattmouth, Neb., eastward.
they belong to the army of settlers who have
been forced from their homes in western Ne
braska and Colorado by the unprecedented
brought. Many have no particular destina-
Aon in view. Their sole object is to reach
sDme locality east of the Mississippi, where
dley can exc out an eXistance until another
season has rolled around and escape the
lnardships Of a winter on the prairie. Since
the exodus began it has been estimated that
10000 have left the State. At Plattsmouth
ole day last week 800 wagons were waiting to
cross the bridge. One man, who had driven
firm Holyoke, Colorado, said that along enc
stretch of road he drove 80 miles, passing a
farm every half section, and it was only at
long intervals he found one occupied.
