The Official Paper Of San Juan County
THURSDAY, JUNE 18th, 1896.

To persons who have watched the
course of politics in the state of Oregon
for the past few years the result OF the
recent election is not surprising. 1t is
probable that Ellis, silver Republican,
has been reelected in the second dis
trict, but the election of Nanderburg,
Populist. in the first district, is cOnced-
ed, and Ex-Governor PennOyer, Popu-
list, has been elected mayor of Portland
by large plurality-so large that it is
very evident that he must have receiv-
ed the support of great many good
citizens who are Populists in no sense
except that they prefer the administra-
ton of an honest Populist, even if he is
an arrant demagogue, to that of a no.
torious political trickster like Simon,
who ought not to have been nominat-
ed and whose defeat was doubtless well
deserved. The Republican leaders of
the state ought to realize now the folly
of juggling with the free silver senti-
ment by placing plank in their plat
form which is nothing more nor less
than a weak subterfuge. The Oregon
ian very pertinently says that "the
Republican party will now learn that
it cannot beat the Populist party in
the advocacy of its own principles.
This is the lesson of the election. Ore
gon after all, is goid-standard, not a
silver standard state, and this fact will
be established when we get straight
issue on the question.

THE Oregon legislative returns indl-
cate pretty conclusively that the Re
publicans really have a considerable
majority i'm the state and that they
might have been successful in both
congressional districts if they had had
sufficient common sense to present a
solid front on the money question.
The situation reminds one of the fable
of the monkey, cats and cheese, the re-
publican gold and silver factions repre-
senting the cats, the official plums the
cheese and the Populists the monkey
that ate it as the most effectual method
of settling the dispute.

CONGRESS has passed the river and
harbor bill over the presidents veto
ana most every locality in the country
applauds, for the reason that most
every locality has finger in the bic
PIE. The reasons stated by the presi-
dent for his action will appeal to most
citizens who read them as being good
ones. The bill is big raid upon the
treasury and contains a great MANY
items calling for the expenditure of
large sums that might better be left in
tne treasury, especially as congress
JAILED to enact any legislation looking

visions of the bill.

IN reporting the heroic action of a
locomotive engineer on the Lake Shore
road few days ago, by which it is
probable that number of lives were
saved. the acknowledgement referred
10 the brave engineer as belonging to
the humble walks of life," and elabor-
ated considerably upon that idea. 1t
did not indicate, however, in what re-
spect it considers the vocation of a loco
motive engineer more .humhie" than
that of newspaper reporter, clerk,
book-keeper, teacher, tradesman, etc.
etc. 1t might be interesting to know
just what avenues of employment the
Post-Intelligeneer considers the "hum-
BILE walks of life.n

AT the Spokane convention two
years ago Doolittle and Hyde required
that the congressional nominations
should be brought to them upon sill
yer salver, so to speak. This year it is
hardly probable that they will be so
particular. In fact the chances are
that they have been learned from some
of the other congressional crobats how
to "do a turn" in the political arena,
and that if an opportunity is afforded
them they will demonstrate their abil-
ity and readiness to dance upon a good
broad gold platform with ease and
grace.

THERE is some balm in the Oregon
GiIead after all, it appearing from the
complete returns that Tongue, Repub-
lican has been elected to Congress in
the first district, instead of Wander
burg, Populist, as first reported, and
that Congressman Ellis, silver Repub-
lican, has been reelected in the second
district by over six hundred plurality
over Quinn, Populist.

and it proceeds TO quote the report OF
the state board of equalization in sup
port of its statement. AS our cohteh-
porary is partly right and partly wrong
we are perfectly willing to split the dit
ference and call it a draw. Island
county has the larger assessed valuation
and the larger area of improved land,
but the actual superficial area of San
Juan county is considerably greater
than that of Island, and the population
of San Juan county is greater than that
of Island by several hundred.

mediately Its attention was arrested by
the shouts OF some children at play In
the adjoining yard. Toddling to the far
end of the balcony the child, grasping

against the railing and peered down at
the noisy group. 60 feet below. 1t evi-

moments later the people watching II
saw the child grasp the top of the rail-

The chorus of warning shouts that
followed were unheeded by the child,
who drew itself up until the upper part
OF its body hung over the top of the
rail. The next moment IL lost its bal
ance and plunged head foremost down
toward the stone-paved yard below.
The child's shrieks, as II fell, brought
several persons to the window In time
to see IL disappear.
The shouts that followed the child's
fall reused the entire neighborhood and
many rushed for the yard expecting to
find the little ones crushed and bleed

On falling. the child's body struck a
clothes line at the fourth floor then II
dropped to another one at the second
floor. from which IL bounded to the roof
of an clubhouse, and then rolled off into
