A STRANGE STORY.
Suicide OF Sentimental In,pos or
Upon discovery OF His Deception.

Suicide OF a Sentimental Inpos or,
Upon Discovery OF His Deception.
With the Identification of the body
of an unknown youth who committed
suicide under mysterious circumstances
at Martinez, CAL, on Sunday, Septem-
ber 18th, the story Of the eventfui bat
brief career of an alleged German
baron at Belmont. in San Mateo coun-
ty, Cal. has just come to light.
About year ago tramp was picked
up on the highway between Redwood
City and Belmont by q phiIanthropist
OF the latter place, who took him home
and gave him employment. After
working for almost ninG months, the
youth, who was known as Harry Moer-
ing, confided to the ladies of his en-
ployer's house that he was an impos-
ter. Instead of being an ordinary
tramp he was Baron E. Won Zedwich,
the eldest son of a German nobleman.
Among other incidents OF his life he
related that he had been an officer ia
the German navy. but had deserted his
ship for some imaginary grievance,
when in South Africa, and had worked
his way to this country. Since his ar
rival in California he lad teen CORES
ponding with his father, and the lat
ter, who was q personal and intimate
friend of the German emperor, ha
exercised hi political influences. and
he had not only been forgiven for de-
serting his ship, but had been honored
by an appointment as first licuten-
ant. He had also incidentally men-
toned that his dear mother had died
in Germany and on her death bed had
forgiven him and bequeathed him a
sum equal to about $50, 900 in Ameri-
can money.
Recent letters, he also stated, had
been received by him announcing that
an allowance would soon be forwarded
TO him by his father, who was anxious
for him to return to his fatherland.
As he produced letters to snbstantiate
his story, his roLsance was credited by
one member of the family at least
the youngest daughter Of his employ
er, who astonished her relatives by on
nouncing shortly afterwards that she
had plighted her troth to the baron.
Pending inquiry the distinguished for
eignrr ceased to work and lived as the
honored guest of his benefactor, but
Just before letter arrived from Ger
many denouncing him as an imposter,
he Disappeared.

Our Questions Answered.

Some OF the country newspapers are
worrying about the consistency" OF
the Oregonian, because IL refuses 10
/, support Ellis, through 1t censured
those who refused to support Dolph.
| The Oreg0nian stated distinctly that
II supported Dolph, not because he
was the caucus nominee, but because
he was right on main questions. For
itself, the Oregonian does not insist
on party regularity, But it has a
right TO remind those who do insist
on itof their own principles of action
They claim TO be party men, acting
upon party methods. They invoke
and employ party methods when it
suits them to do so, but often repudi-
ate them when IL does not. The Ore
gonian processes no party methods.
IL is an independent critic, bound by
no rules OF party; and IL opposes Ellis
because he Is wrong on main aues-
tions, just as IL supported Dolph be-
cause he was right on main questions.
Them an who appeals to party
methods and seeks his end through
party methods should stick TO and
abide by party methods. The Ore
gonian dosen't belong In this cate
CORY. II wants nothing OF party, asks
no favors Of party, doesn't care for
what politicians call consistency. 4"
Yet 1t has Il right to remind politi-
clans that they should be bound by
their own rule, which, nevertheless.
In no degree binds IL, because il never
seeks to use party for its own pur-
poses or advantage as they do. The
Oregonian is professional "bolter. -
They are professional party men, not
entitled TO the privilege OF lndepend-
ence; for they ought TO be bound 10
the same party usages TO which, when
the game Is running their way, they
always try TO hold Others. Oregonlan.
Ihe foregoing is the answer 10 the
questions we prOpounded last week 10

down to solid meat, the answer is lust
this' That the Oregonian is NOT

and that IL is not Republican paper

THE SOUND MONEY BOLT.

Two years ago Harvey Scott re
ported the financial platform in tn
Oregon Republican convention tina
was reported and adopted this year.
1t was sound money platform then
when the Oregonian wanted Dolpl
elected. This year IL is free sive
platform when Harvey Scott want,
John II. Mitchell beaten.
The evidences are multiplying that
there is to be "sound money" bolt
OF the above character, on the Marion
county legislative ticket. The arti-
Gle by a''iinancial seer" appearing yes.
terday in the Oregonian and States
man points that way. The men on
the Republican ticket who at heart
believe in genuine bimetallism are to
be secretly knitted by the goldlte ele-
ment in Salem. 1t is said DR.. Cusick
is the Financial SEER" A number of
strong blmetallic organizations are
being formed in this county, the In
huences Of which are yet an unknown
element.
1t is certain there is ''goldbug"
and "sound money" fight on nearly
all Of the Republican legislative
ticket. The only effect will. be to
chrystalize the bimetallists solidly
against the Republican candidate for
congress in this district. and perhaps
endanger part Of the Republican
county ticket.
The Statesman gives unusual prom
inence to "sound money" NOrthrup's |
candidacy for congress in the second |
and 50 far Tom Tongue has
made more speeches IN Portland than
he has in his own district.
The "sound money" bolt, on the
same financial platform that we had
two years ago, and which Dolph
wanted to get in upon, but privately
spat upon, may defeat some of the
legislative ticket. 1t may defeat Mr..
Mitchell. But If IL is pressed too far
Il will defeat Mr.. Tongue also, and
nay throw the state into the hands
If the Populists. The "sound money"
BOLT is very Inconsistent and indefen-
iible in Oregon.
