Why Mckinley Cannot Win.

That Major Mckinley viii be defeated is
a foregone conclusion. With every favor

managers. with Hanna at the helm, have
with charming incapacity virtually made
the election OF Mr.. Bryan absolutely GER
tain.
First-In their enthusiasm, with the idea
that defeat was impossible no matter what
the platform. they demanded a continued
gold basis for our currency. This sent
chill through the party veins. They rec
oguized that they had the unpopular side,
and attempted TO dodge it by the subter-
fuce protection" Ii was their right and
duty 20 be the aggressors in this campaign.
but instead they have been on the de-
fersive from beginning to finish.
Even Handicapped by rnpopuiarity there
was chance 20 win. Mark Hanna's mas
ter move would have been to prevent fu-
sion. With shrewd men and q big fund
to draw from. this was possible at one
time. This fight could have been carried
on I'm the country and the States among
the malcontents before the st. Louis con-
vention occurred. But this was over
looked. Mark Hanna and his protege.

HARRISON UPHELD SILVER.

In n Message lie Once Told Congress That
Higher Prices Were Not Due to the
Tariff.
Chairman Faulkner has been search
ing diligently through the messages OF
President Harrison and the reports Of
his Cabinet officers and finds a general
support Of the theory Of free coinage
there sustained. The following opinion
Of President Harrison on the causes Of
higher prices in his annual message to
Congress. December 1, 1890, is as good
an argument for the platform Of the
Democratic party as could have been
written by Mr. Bryan himself. 1t is
particularly valuable. because it is based
ON facts brought under Mr.. Harrison 5
observation. The extract from tAe
message is as follows:
The general tariff act has only. par-
TALLY zone into operation, some OF us
important provisions being limited 10
take effect at dates yet nm the luture-
Th. general provisions of the law have
been lr force less than sixty days It's
permanent effect upon trade ana prices
stll largely stands I'm conjecture. IL
is curious 10 note that the advance IN
rh. prices ~ articles wholly undueCted
by tla t1rIu act was by many hastily
ar'r.nct to that act. Notice was not
taken of the fact that the general ten
dency of the markets was upward from
influences wholly apart from the recent
tariff legislation.

REIGN OF THE BLIZZARD
Fearful Suffering in the
Northwestern States.
MANY LIVES REPORTED LOST

Cattle Buried In Snow T.ifts. Train
Delayed and Wires Frustrated on
the Prairles Worst Storm for Years.
st. Paul, Dec. Human beings
have been frozen to death, cattle have
been stampeded, bruised and smothered
in snow drifts; trains are delayed,
wires are down. and the storm record
is broken by the blizzard that holds the
Northwest locked in its chilly grasp.
How many lives have been sacrificed
cannot be told until the snow drifts
clear away. months hence. Men are
missing everywhere in the heart of the
storm. Some are known to be dead,
and many are missing, with the chances
very much against them being alive.
From the cattle country in the west.
ern part of North Dakota come reports
OF intense suffering of the livestock on
the ranges, but nj definite information
can be had, as the wires are down.
Watson Ball, a cattlemap, says the
losses will be extremely heavy.
South Dakota is suffering, too. At
Pierre over eight inches of snow fell
during Thursday and Friday, and the
wind maintained a velocity of twenty
eight miles an hour. Wires were down
most of the time. and trains and street
cars were tied up. The first train to
move west went out about noon today
with a snowplow.
Snow on the prairie drifted badly,
and cattle losses are being reported. 1t
was the worst storm for wears.

SHE STRUCK A o c
The Steamer Dalles City Sank Near

The steamer Dalles City Sank Near
Sprague.
The Dalles, Or, Dec. 1.-The steam.
er Dalles City, belonging to The Dalles,
Portland d Astoria Navigation Com.
pany, struck a rock near Sprague land.
ing yesterday and sank in six feet of
water. The weather was extremely
clustering, with a downstream wind
blowing hard when the Dalles CITY left
the Cascades. At G p. M. she was on.
poslte Sprauge, feeling her way eau.
tiously through the darkness. The
boat was heavily loaded, there being
nifty cattle, as many hogs and a large
consignment of wool on board. Sud.
denly a violent jar was felt, and i'm.
mediately the steamers bow was turned
toward a sand bar lying in the middle
OF the river, and in less than three min.
utes she was beached. The hole in her
hull was a large one, and in a few
minutes she had settled till her stern
rested nearly seven feet under water.
The cause of the accident was the
freeze at the Cascade locks, as this pre.
vented the Dalles City from going
through to Portland, and delaye ed her
long after her usual time of leaving the
locks. The passengers, although suf.
fering somewhat from fright, were
made comfortable by the officers and
crew, and are loud in their praise of
Captain Johnston and the other officers.
Judge Smith. of Goldendale, SAYS hat
good management and GOODNESS prevent.

THE RlTZvlLLE CHARIvARI.
John Thie1, 1t Is Said. Fired tho Shot
at the Achzeiger-Rolof Wedding.

John Thiel, It Is Said, Fired tho Shot
at the Achzeiger-Tsolof Wedding.
Ritzville, Wash, Dec. 1.-Thursday
evening, at the wedding of George
Achzeiger and Matilda Rolof, a shot
was fired through the side of the house.
from a shotgun loaded with buckshot,
lodging in tho head of Mary Bauer.
Inquiry develops the fact that consider
able rivalry existed among the young
men of Adams county for the affections
of the bride. John Thiel was q per-
sistent sutton for her hand, and long
laid seige to the heart of the oomely
German maiden, but to no avail. She
rejected him, and accepted her present
husband, who is a prosperous rancher.
The race for the hand of the girl was
made more exciting by the fact that she
nm into possession Of considerable
money when she is 81 years old. On
the night of the wedding, q married
mar named Klannakamick, q laborer.
who resides in the town, carried a
double.barreled shotgun to the house
where the wedding took place. When
the guests departed, this man, with
others, went into the yard. He after
wards returned for wraps which he had
forgotten, and says that before doing
SO he was asked by John Thiel, the re-.
jeoted %suitor. for the shotgun. He
handed the weapon to Thiel, and q few
minutes later the shot was fred through
the side of the house, passing through
the shawl OF the bride and hitting Miss
Bauer. Miss Bauer may recover, as
the boards in the house broke the force
Of the shot.
