SATURDAY. APRIL IL. 1896.
OREGON GONE WRONG.

The Oregon republicans have a right
TO turn their backs on silver IL they
want to, but that does not imply that
IL was necessary for them to make
mules of themselves-which they did.
The undertaking at Portland was to
follow the lines" OF the money plank
in the platform adopted at Minneapolis
in 1892 That plank was utterly dis
owned long ago by the men who die
tate the policy of the republican party.
II has been denounced by the leaders
of the republican party in the federal
senate. 1t Is a total wreck, according
to republican testimony. 1t never
meant anything. and it was intended
to be meaningless, so say the republi-
can politicians. IT proved to be a
cheap piece of claptrap-it is a speci-
men of bowling hypocrisy; and the
Oregon republicans make 1t the echo Of
their sentiment.
A minority report submitted yester-
day to the republicans of Portland de-
nounced the cry for the free coinage of
silver. That is more like 1t; IL the con-
at least, have shown some manliness-
evidently the delegates were afraid to
do II. But to go back to the subterfuge
of 1892. which their own party has re-
pudiated. is evidence that these Ore
gon bosses have neither courage nor
convictions
Mckinley gets the oregon delegation:
IL is we'll that straddlers should stand
by a straddler. Evidently. fat is as ef-
fective on the Columbia as il is on the
Mississippi. Meanwhile. this piling up
of pledged delegations for an enemy of
silver leaves us TO wonder more and
more what Moptanas delegation is GO
ing to do when IL gets to ST. Louis.
The Oregon democrats are for free
coinage, and no mistake about 1t. Per-
haps the members of the Montana re-
publican delegation will conclude to
join the Oregon democrats. go to Chi
cago instead of st. Louis, and make
themselves at home among silver's
friends.

nomination at Chicago. will try for IT,
and the framing of the currency plank
will not fret him.
II is all well enough to say that the
watchword ought to be measures. not
men. National conventions are not
run on that theory. The aim of such
a candidate who will be presentable to
this country's millions of voters. Plat
forms are not of so much account. but
worthy men for the dignifed Office of
president are everything. And so 1t
happens that Mr.. Carlisle couldn't be
elected to the Office of president were
he planted on the most popular plat
form ever framed.

THE EIGHTH VICTIM.

Every man with a heart i'm him can
understand why the sturdy men who
linger about the charred entrance to
the shaft of the Hope mine should feel
impelled to risk all for the sake OF
reaching their seven entombed com
rades. There is that in human sympa-
thy which often takes too little accoun;
Of prudence. Its manifestation does in
finite credit TO mankind. it's operation
often puts TO the test the noblest i'm
pulses OF which human beings are ca
pable.
Still, nothing is right in human con-

NOTES OF THE DAY,

In the early days of Sir Isaac Pit
mans shorthand crusade the system
was assailed on religious grounds.
America has far more attraction for
a German emigrant that the colonies
of Germany in Africa. Thus far only
700 Germans, including $50 officials
have taken up their residence in Cam
Groom and German East Africa. Even
English emigrants, by large majority
prefer the United States to the English
colonies.
Prof woodrow Wilson, who has been
delivering a series of lectures at the
Johns Hopkins university, contends
that American city governments are
inefficient because they copy too closely
the structure of the federal government
with its two chambers and executive.
The system of checks and balances and
division of power is not suited to NUM-
cipal needs.

THEIR CLOSING DAY.

Resolutions. elections. speeches. rou-
tine work and the banquet filled up the
hours of yesterday at the G. A r. en-
campment in Bozeman. Evidently
this years reunion Of the veterans was
a gratifying success; we observe that,
as one man, the boys In blue moved
forward in their valorous assault on
the feast that was served with unstint-
ed hospitality last night in Bozeman's
delightful hotel
The citizens of Anaconda will learn
with pleasure that the members of the
encampment voted, yesterday, to meet
in this city next year. Anaconda will
give them a hearty welcome; the COM
pliment is one which this city will not
fail to appreciate. 1t may even be that,
before this city gets through with
them next year. those of the comrades
who hoped to make Bozeman the per-
manent place of meeting will want to
take IL all back.

A correspondent of the New York Her
aid calls attention to the fact that the
grave of President Tyler is stoneless and
nameless. He thinks that some appro-
pirate monument should mark the final
resting place of one who has occupied
the position of president of the United
States, and he gives practical proof OF his
patriotism by subscribing 500 toward the
erection of a suitable memorial

The London Saturday Review says that
Lord Rosebery is probably far happier
in reality now that he is out of office
than when he was prime minister. He
has high rank, some of the Rothschild
wealth and no decision. Such a man is
born for opposition, particularly If he
has a knack of making after-dinner
speeches. Lord Rosebery's chaff is ex-
cellent, but his wheat is very poor stuff"
In private life Prince Krapotkin is the
most mild and amiable of men. To see
him at his home in Kent, in the humblest
of laborer's cottages. is to see the ideal
man Of learning as he often appears in
fiction, but is said to have no real ex-

bearded face, a figure bent with the lite
airy stoop," thin, nervous hands, and a
courtesy such as belongs to the best
classes of Russian society only, that is

he examines every subject-more par

to a couple Of contradictory statements

not reasonable that the survivors there

to be issued at Basin; 1t should have
gone forth before this fatally late hour.

New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-01-08
A Remarkable Tree.

There is wayward white oak tree
near Laporte, Ind, that may we'll puz-
zle naturalists with the vagaries Of it's
growth. The tree is feet in circumfer-
enoe at the base, and there are no
branches of any size below IL feet from
the ground. There the great bole d.
vides into q number Of limbs. Two,
leaving the trunk about 20 inches apart,
grow west, their lines diverging for some
6 feet, and then each rending toward
the other. Twelve feet from the body Of
the tree they unite again, making per
feet oval, and out Of this grow two
smaller branches. As If not satisfied
with that expressed disregard for the
laws Of nature, this old tree has per-
formed another feat. Six feet from it's
base grows another white oak, less than
half it's size, and no sooner does the
smaller tree arrive at the charmed cir
cles Of those branching limbs than one
of them grows right into it, and is alb
sorbed. The second tree is very much
larger 20 feet from the ground than at
its base. z..5 an.
