THANKS TO JONES.

New York Tribune.
Presumably Messrs. Jones, OF Arkan-
sas, and the other conspicuous popo-
Gratis are not intending 10 help the re-
publican cause But they are doing II
all the same, and in the most effective
manner possible. Their stalwart asser-
tions that Bryan will carry every state
west OF the Mississippi, and some
Eastern states" and Ohio and Mlchi-
gan and Indiana and Illinois. are having
an admirable influence. The one dan
ger was that republicans throughout
the country would think the thing set
forget to register, or yield to business
or other allurements and neglect to
vote or stop the good work Of convert
ing their neighbors and informing the
ignorant, or decline to provide means
for the expensive closing weeks of the
great contest. Also there was danger
that too many democrats who intend to
beat Bryan at any cost, II they imag
ined Mckinley elected already, might
fancy that a vote for Palmer would
taste deliciously as a sort OF dessert
for the feast.
The windy boastlng Of Bryan and his
managers helps amazingly to prevent
laziness and Indifference. 1t has al
ready caused perceptible nervousness
in financial circles, where the tremen-
dous Importance Of the result and its
possibly effects in business and specu-
lation are keenly realized. It has set
thousands OF men to asking whether
there is anything left that they can do
to make the defeat OF repudiatiun and
anarchy more certain. Mr.. Jones has
not a superhuity Of money in his treas
ury 1t is said, and therefore It is all
the more kind in him to put some lib
eral contributions into the republican
fund. II his declarations OF certainty
that Bryan will carry everything have
only that one effect, he should be
thanked for them, and may feel that,
albeit without the slightest patriotic in
tent, he has really done the country
some useful service.
The good effects are also seen in the
eminently sensible protests which many
National democrats are making, when
some scatterbraln on that side takes a
notion to fire off his little gun at Nc
Kinley. The men who have sense know
that II Bryan Is to be beaten at all
It must be by votes for Mckinley and
not for anybody else under the sun,
and that fellows fitness for a share
in self-government Is not conspicuous
ly shown by trying to influence some
body against the candidates he wants
elected. No harm has been done or
will be, it is probable, for the leading
National democrats are too much in

FROM AN OLD SOLDIER.
He Asks a Question Which the Astorian
Can't Answer.

To the Editor
VIII some one tell us the difference
between the secession doctrines OF 1860
and the Bryan-Altgeld combination OF
1896?
Each Of them assert state rights,
and denies the chief executive OF the
United States the right to interfere in
any state, although a mob may in
terfere with interstate commence and
the United States mail.
Surely no old soldier can swallow
such a dose. Take the democratic plat
form and sit down in the calm Of your
home and read it carefully Then read
Altgeld's speech at New York, where in
most undisguised terms he declares the
purpose Of the combination. can con-
ceive how some old copperhead Of war
times and unreconstructed secesslonist
can vote such a ticket but how any
man who spells nation with a big IN"
can go to the polls on the third Of No
vember and vote to bring about the
very thing we fought to defeat In 1860
and 1865 surpasses the understanding

VIOLENTLY INSANE.
Man Found Digging In the Sand at Sea-
side by Engineer Stoner.

The attention OF the county court
yesterday was occupied In the afternoon
with two insanity cases. The hrst one
was that OF wenEell SchultS, who has
been living for some time past near
omey, and he became to wild that the
neighborS entertained fears that he
might irflict some damage upon HIM
self or others, Investigation revealed
the fact that in April last the man had
been released from the Napa, Cal. asy-
lum and came here in June, He is Ia
boring under the delusion that every
one he meets wants To poison him, II
is claimed that while in California ne
tried TO shoot man. and this is given
as one OF the reasons for his present
condition OF mind
The other case was that OF man
who gave his name as Il. j. Mcllwain.
He was picked up yesterday afternoon
while digging IN the sands at Seaside
by Engineer Stohef ana brought by him
to the city. where Sheriff Hare and Dep
uty Prael took charge OF him The
man was violent in his actions and
speech, was we'll dressed, and probably
only so or So years OF age. Evidently
his attack was a sudden one. He was
seen In the city Monday evening short
ly before the Seaside train iet with the
excursion His general health appear
ed to be good. and the court and ex-
aminlng physician are at loss TO ac-
count for his condition. He was so
violent that the sheriff had TO put him
in straight jacket and mutfs. No def
mite idea could be obtained from him
as to who he was. where he came from,
or what he was doing. DR.. Jay Tuttle
made the examination in the presence
OF a numberof witnesses.
In reply 10 questions put TO him by
the doctor the man said that he came
from Belfast. Ireland, that his name
was Robert J. McIlwain. and he did
not know how old he was. He said
he was looking for home. or farm;
that he had been in Arizona, and came
down here because he wanted to see
what was going on. and what the coun-
try looked like. He said he left the
other place very rapidly-came out Of
it in a hurry. Then ne stated that he
was working on the telegraph line. but
did not know the name Of his boss. on
his person were found several scraps
of paper. one Of them being a portion
of a bond for deed from c. II. Good
man. Another was a letter addressed
to W. A. Furlong, signed by W. a.
Grondohl. resident engineer OF the
Southern Pacific Railroad, directing the
recipient to go TO a certain gang of
men working on the Oregon and Cali
fornia Railroad
Both men were adjudged insane. and
Sheriff Hare and Deputy Prael took
them to Salem last night.

LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.


The Republican party Is not opposed
to the use OF silver money and has
done all It could for It consistent with
safety.
Bimetalllsm cannot be secured by In
dependent action on our part. nor by
opening our mints to free silver. until
international agreement Is had Il is the
duty of the United States to maintain
the gold standard.
The owner of the silver bullion would
get the silver dollar; the people would
get II only by their labor
We now have more silver than gold.
The mere declaration that the Demo-
Gratis propose TO inaugurate the free
and unlimited coinage OF silver is u
menace to our financial and Industrial
Institutions,
In addition to free silver we are asked
to enter on an era OF lrredeemable paper
currency. We are not II nation OF
classes, and appeals to prejudice should
be rebuked.
We must not be mlsled by phrases
nor deluded by false theories. Free sill
yer would not mean that silver dollars
we're to be freely had without cost or
labor.
We have more silver In use than any
country in the world except China or
India
What would keep the new silver dol
lars at par with gold? There would be
no obligation on the government to do
1t; the simple truth is, we would be driv-
en- TO silver basis-to silver mono
metalllsm.
