POT ATOES AND FREIGHT
POOLS.

Farmers. and. indeed, the humber pro-
ducers generally. says the New York
.JoninH should find Il lesson in the story
of a shipment of sweet potatoes from VIZ
ginia The good people of Mappsburg,
when they conceived the idea of otferin z
their contribution to the Journals Bryan
campaign fund, probably did not contem-
plate the addition of Il powerful argument
in favor of the candidate to whom they
pledged their support. But facts are the
strongest of all arguments, and by the sim
pie process of proceeding in their accus-
toned channels the facts in this case COM
bned themselves into Il picturesque and
highly instructive object lesson.
The farmers of Mappsburg did not have
money to give, but they did have crops
and out of the abundance of these they
gave literally. They sent l0a barrels OF
sweet potatoes, the staple product of their
region, to be sold in this city tor the bcne-
fit of the Journals campaign fund. Now
these 102 barrels were sold by commits
sion merchant, who, approaching the OBJ
ject of the sale, made no charge for com
mission, for the sum of $3.50.
At this point the power of the monopo-
list stepped in, and the railway freight
charges, including $50, the price of the
barrels. furnished Dy the ROAD, were more
than $50 The Journal, of course, paid
that tax. in order that the Mappsburg
farmers might have the satisfaction OF
achieving their purpose. But suppose
those farmers had been trying to find :;
market in New York for their produce fol
business purposes They would have re-
ceived some So for their potatoes. or y
cents a barrel.
1t must be source of great qualification
for farmers all over the country to realize
that BY the grace of railway corporations
they may get one-third of the price fol
Which they sell their products. 1t must
he a still more fruitful source of joy t.
them to reflect that in case of Mr.. Mckin-
iey's election railway monopo!ies, corpo-
rate powers and trusts of all kinds, lnclu
ding freight pools, will continue thcil
present delightful methods without hind
rance. They are all working for the ciec
ton of Mr. Mckinley, in the confident eN
pectation that when he is President he
will take care of them and keep the Anti
Trust and Interstate Commerce laws III

which the farming of lands has come
and it promises relief. The republican
party plumes itself upon its past his
tory and points to the prosperity that
we enjoyed decade ago, just as If that
would help us out Of the present diff
cuties. There is but one thing prom
ised 10y the Republican party, and that
is a high tariff in other words. they
tell our people that to make them bet
ter of they must he taxed higher.
Such Il promise cannot fool those otour
people who have to struggle for a liv-
inc, and who have no other means OF
gaining their daily bread tor themselves
and families save and except by the re-
suit of their toll This is the only
promise that is held out by the Repub-
lican party for relief \ high tariff
has been tried, the people know how it
failed to help the masses, but do know
how it assisted to build up and increase
fortunes in the hands ofsyndicates and
trusts and lordly manufacturers. Then
as now, when the people demanded a
lower tariff. every interest of wealth.
all the money OF the land, were arrayed
against them Such is now the clse.
But they won the fight. and they can
vet do 50 if they be true to themselves.
To the voters Of this county this cleo
ton is one of transcendent Importance.
1t is the opportunity for the Democrat
cy to regain the county. Every rea-
son points to the necessity Of such 4
result. Look at the conditions of our
affairs under republican rule. When
was it that any one of the Democratic
officials was found to be inefficient, or
who. when elected was found not to
possess the qualifications required.
We answer never, because the nomi-
necS of u Democratic convention are
always men up to the standard for eff
ticency and official fitness. The Dem
ocrats should bend every nerve to re-
gain the county. 1t is right and proper
that it should he done, and it must be
done. if the best interests OF the people
Of the county are to he respected
Then let the Democratic vote be solid
" cast for BRYAN and Moss.

EDITORIAL
CORRESPONDENCE.
PORTLAND. Oregon

PORTLAND, Oregon.
DEAR ESQUIRER:-My visit to the city
of Portland has enabled me to become ac-
quainted with some of the peculiar Gus
toms of the Chinese who dwell here in
large numbers. Although "China Town"
here is not so notable as the China Town
in San Francisco, nearly every phase of
Monaghan life it represented. The Chi
naman, as rule. is timid, inotfehsive
creature, ar d often suffers great in iigni-
ties at the hands of his white brethren.
A portion of this city, large part of one
of the most prominent business streets, is
now entirely given up to this class of the
population. There they have stores, the
aires, joss houses, (places of Worship and
dwellings Some of them manifest con-
siderable business tact and have accumu-
lated fortunes. Quite number here have
been converted to Christianity, and there
are several mission churches where the
work is carried on. The converted Chi
naman discards his pigtail and native cos
tune, and when intelligent and educated
makes quite respectable appearance in
the dress of an American citizen.
Since have been here they have been en-
gagged in celebrating one of theiy annual
festivals. A part of the ceremony CON
Sists in worshipping the Chinese devil and
then burning him. They first try to APP
pease the evil spirit and then destroy it.
At o'clock on the morning of October
18th, the burning took place, after which
his maieStys ashes were carefully picked
up, carted away and thrown into the river.
[ was told that they raised $4,000 to in
vest in images of paper and tinsel Fires
were kindled in the streets and swarms OF
Celestials heaped on the fuel. Pans filled
with crackers and apples, and tins filled
with sand and stuck full of candles, were
thrown upon the fires to soften the wrath
which the devil might naturally be expect
ed to possess. That parsonage himself
was supposed to occupy huge Papler
mache etfigy made in his likeness and it
would be hard to imagine him more evil
looking than he was thus represented.
While the band was pouring forth most
unearthly sounds, some one seized the eff
tigy, carried it twice down the line be-
tween the fires and then heaved him on a
pyre prepared for the purpose. These
ceremonies were conducted by the
priests clad in gorgeous robes
Two tubs of water were placed In
the line Of the procession and according t.
the heather superstition the one who coulC
ret possession OF the water after it was
blessed would have good luck for the resi-
of the year OF course there was gen
eral scramble for the tubs, but the priests
wishing to get them for themselves haI
put policemen in charge who tried to keel
back the eager crowd. 1t was said that il
the excitement one tub was left unblesseC
and the other was upset and the watel
wasted, SO no one got any benefit there
from might add that did not witnes:
this remarkable ceremony, but am writ
ing from hearsay. r. ;.

CARLISLE AND COtRAN .

The Cincinnatia Enquirer speaks editor
tally of the disorder at Covington, Ken,
last Thursday light, as follows:
The Enquirer deprecateS to the fullest
extent violence or disorder at the meetln rs
OF either political party. 1t is plain,
simple truth that has no need to be enforc-
ed bv argument. that those people OF Men
tucNv VINO want to hear Hon, John Il.
Carlisle, either from motives of sympathy
or curiosity, or IL desire for Instructions,
should have the fullest opportunity. Ihose
who do anything that may be construed
as an act of violence, even though slight,
should be promptly arrested and punished.
Those who do not wish to hear have the
privilege rs Mr.. Carlisle himself SAID when
trying u queil the disorder at his meeting
i'm Covinrton Thursday night, to retire.
While demanding for Mr.. Carlisle
though, the most respectful hearing from
those who attend his meetings, the
Enquirer will not he led int" conmlsera-
ton for him because he has not been well
received at his oli home. The real Demo-
cracv of Kentucky have been much dlsap-
pointed in him. He has depar ed fro II
the principles he us ID To teach, and he
has torsaken the traditions and assocla-
tinns of the Dem ocratic party. Heis now
trying to help the campaign of Republl-
can candidate for President. When one
word from him would have decided Il
close contest between IA tried, lifelong
Democrat on the one part and ii most
offensive clique of Republicans on the
other he was mute, save to give encourage
ment to the enemy This is not the
Carlisle of old. but the Carlisle of Grover
Cleveland. No inspiration that he ever
received from Kentucky led him into such
IN error. 1t was the insidious. vicious
result of polite d partnership tn the
gold gampicr> and uond grabbcrs. 1t Is
cnincntly proper t.iat Mr. Carlisle should
know, wncn he comes to Kentucky. that
there is Il great deal of hurrahing for
BRYAN. He should not be allowed to go
back to Wa >hnyton deceived as to the
real situation. If shouts for Bryan are
not agreeable or tolerahIe to him he will
find this section of the country politically
cold toward him.
Mr. Bourke Cochran showed some
temper at his rccent meeting i'll Covlngton
because there were many eXclanallon>
for the true Democratic candidates. Mr..
Cochran has even less right tnan Mr.
Carlisle to expect To be coddled. He is Il
turncoat without cause, unless he views
politics strictly as IA matter of business.
lie is held in contempt by the honest
Democrats and honest Republicans of
of this city and he may AS well known it
at once He has no right to complain.
He has been a peddlcr of falsehoods
about Mr.. Bryan and the Democratic
party ever since he entered into the cam
paign He has ranted in his denunciation
of better people than he is rs anarchists
and repudiationiStS. He has been so
incorporate and insulting that he is lucky
| to have hearing at all in any elf-reSpcc-

BY all means, let us have order at all

maudlin or lachrymoSe over the woes of
turncoats. renegadcs and traitors.

THE LAST DAYS OFTHEC CAM
PAIGN.

Before another issue of THE En-
QUIRER the great question that has
agitated the public mind in the present
campaign will have been determined
by the popular vote. Never before
has such question been submitted to
the suffrage of the people for settle
ment 1t is question that is far more
reaching than the tariff, or in fact any
one of the issues that usually divide
political parties. 1t is question that
concerns the daily life of every citizen
of this vast republic, and one upon
which the prosperity and advancement
of the country depends. Then there is
no surprise that it should have created
such a widespread interest, and that in
the last hours and days of the cam
paion there should he a suspense and
anxiety, as to the result, that almost
makes one nervous. Little now re-
mains to he said in the way OF direct
ing public thought to this question.
The argument has been made upon
both sides and there is not one word to
add The advocates of the free and
unlimited COINAGE of silver believe that
they represent the interests OF the
masses. and it is truth that impels
them to this belief. because the pres
ence of money. whether owned by indi-
viduals or corporations, is solidly OPP
posed to silver The money power
not only of this country but Of the Ell
tire world. is against the idea of free
silver. and it is a remarkable fight that
we are now engaged in. But what will
be the result? This is the absorbing
question. The outlook is good for
democratic success. The campaign
has been made with a wonderful degree
of pluck and endurance and sclt-sacri
fee by the candidate almost single
handed. He has shown more zeal and
more endurance than it was possible to
expect from any man. His cam
nairn has been a marvel and the work
he has performed and the interest he
has manifested exhibit the degree of
feeling he has in the contest. 1t Is not
personal fight that Mr. Bryan has
made. Great as is the honor of being
President of such country, and over
such a people as this. the labor. the i'll
tense strain and the physical inconven-
fence of such a campaign rs he has
made would scarcely repay him or any
other man. But it is not ambition to
fill such an exalted position rs Prcsi-
dent that actuatcs Mr.. Bryan. He is
swaved by far higher impulse. He
believes in the right Of the views that
he has adopted, he has undertaken the
fight for the people and it is now for
them to come to his assistance and fol
low where he is leading Ifthcrc ever
was a cause in which the people should
he deeply concerned such is now before
us. There must be- a change or condi-
tons will grow worse. Now there are
two parties before the country upon
different platforms. The Democratic
party recognizes the depressed state Of
