PROBABLY SAFE.

Senator Mitchell and his friends
can dismiss any doubts they may
have entertained as to his re. election.
The matter is now made as certain
as any purely mundane matter can
be, if the future can be judged by
the past. The Oregonian has com.
menced the fight against him in a
mild way, by permitting the small
political fry to nibble at his heels in
trashy correspondence. The Orego-
nian will grow weary of the puerile
and futile attacks of the itching
scribbler before long, and will edito-
rally attempt to assist in the job
with its heavier metal and longer
range.
Some people cannot let a sleeping
lion alone, and get hurt when the
awakening takes place. We have
the profoundest admiration for the
ability of the Oregonian editor, for
his learning and his vigorous and
crystal English; but when it comes
to political intelligence, his bump is
represented By q cavity. Mitchell
is on pretty safe ground.

ANOTHER MORTAL BLOW.

Weyler is back in Havana, and
preparing to "deliver mortal blow"
to the insurgents. He seems to be
able to practice on the effects of the
blow better in the city than in the
field, and it works better on paper.
Weyler's mortal blows are made,
most of them, by telegraph, he be-
ing only good long distance fighter.

minds one of Q. @. Philander Does.

colored gentleman. Doesticks had
practiced boxing with a big stove for
an opponent, and after he got expert
enough to guard against the stoves
EtcOunters," he hired the African
gentleman to come in and let him
biff him with the gloves. The
African, out of res pect for his en-
ployer, took the pair of gloves the
latter had used in boxing with the
stove. AS the battle progressed
Philander made the discovery that
he was getting IN almost one lick to
his opponents five, and was in con-
sequence highly elated at his pros
poets of soon delivering a mortal
blow. Just as he was going to give
it, however, something happened to
him. The colored man thought he
had given the worth of his hire, and
went in for a little fun on his own
account. When Doesticks regained
sensibility his colored opponent was
gone, likewise the boxing gloves.

dozen or more cortusions on Does

heightened by coating of stove
polish we'll worked in.

that he is too much of ''mortal

WEATHER PROPHETS.

Foster and Hicks, Americas two
famous weather prophets, both agree
in forecasting long and severe win

the worst of it is, each of them say,
"Look out for a hard. cold and
stormy December We must con-
fess TO having little faith in weather
representations made months in
advance and based on the changes of
the moon, the conjunction of planets,
the color of the goose bone, the hogs

fact is indisputable that Hicks has
gone right along for several years
naming the weather conditions to
prevail months in advance, and NAM

clined to attribute his phenomenal
forecasts as due more to his luck at

DIR. j. c. Lannerberg, Eye Specialist,

People having weak eyesight should
not miss this opportunity to have their
eyes properly examined and fitted. The
doctor has instruments with which he
can examine every part of the interior
OF the eyes, and tell in an instant
whether he can benefit you or not.
Many children complain of pain in the
eyes and feel unable to keep up with
their classmates in school. They un-
doubtedly have trouble with their vision,
which if corrected will benefit them for
life. Cross eyes can be Strengthened
with proper glasses.

Dear Sir:-I wish it to be understood
that do not want the nomination un-
less it is the judgment of the free silver
delegates that would be the strongest
candidate. If it should at any time ap-
pear that my candidacy is an o0struc-
ton to the nomination of any Candidate
who is acceptable to the free coinage

more acceptable to majority OF those
delegates than myself, wish my name

sideration. | am willing to waive
State instructions for me and lei The
free silver delegates decide the matter.
Put the cause above me.
Yours truly,

The note having been finished, he
spoke of how he had come to this city
to conduct the campo gn for the COM
moner but now bowed TO the will of

"I lower the standard under which we
have fought throughout this conven-
ton, and in its place / lift that Of the
gifted and glorious son of Nebraska.
Gentlemen, we have chosen i splen-
did leader" he said. and went on TO
pay tribute to the Nebraskan as
great orator, a great scholar, but above
all, bearing in his breast a heart that
throhs in sympathy with the great
masses.
The great majority is the Democratic
party who would not only nominate
Bryan, but would elect him, the Gov
ernor continued, and for his perora-
ton said: 81 cast the "a votes of Mis-
