SHARP ADvANcE IN ENGLAND.
Scenes In the Exchanges Renstnd One OF
War Times.

LIVERPOOL, ENG, Oct. 19.-Wheat to-
day opened at sgd dearer, and after an
exciting trade continued firm at 5Ld ad-
vance. Later the market gave way some
what on realizing, and closed nervous at
an advance of sd over Saturdays closing
figures. The sales to-day amounted to
205, 900 quarters.
LONDON, Eng, Oct 19.-The Times,
commenting tomorrow upon the state of
the London market will say that the rise
in the price of wheat in America caused
excitement, and when the American
opening cables were received there was a
scene such as is not usually seen except
in time of war.
The paper adds that the advance ap-
pears to be CHIEFLY due to the sale OF
American wheat for India. which fright
ened the spectators good deal. Cautious
observers think that rise of 5 shillings
per quarter in week fully discounts the
effect of the abnormal Indian demand.

the question of maintaining a sound
currency and the reinactment of a
protective policy will be determined.
In Illinois the people will be called
upon to choose between good gov
ernment and anarchism. The re-
nomination of Altgeld was nothing
more nor less than an Endorsement
of his action in turning the red

in such manner that the good name

Aside from the silver boilers thel e
will be no sulking in Republican
ranks. The nomination of McKin-
ley meets with genuine enthusiasm,
and his name will he talisman for
speakers to conjure with during the
campaign. The American people will
be called upon to decide whether the
next four years shall be prosperous
or not; whether the markets of this
country shall be presented to the
countries of the world with no rec
ompense in return, and whether the
currency shall be brought to level
of debasement and consequent dis
honesty. The November election is
a crisis in the welfare OF the nation.

A Bank
Failure.
AN INVESTIGATION
DErIANDED.

A general banking business is done by
the human system, because the blood de-
posits in its vaults whatever wealth we NAV
gain from day to day. This wealth is laid
up against a rainy day" as reserve fund
we're in a condition of healthy prosperity
if we have laid away sufficient capital to
draw upon in the hour of our greatest need
There is danger in getting thin, because it's
sign of letting down in health. To gain
in blood is nearly always to gain in zOEoLe-
some flesh. The odds are in favor of the
germs of consumption, grip, or pneumonia,
If our liver be inactive and our blood i'm.
pure, or If our flesh be reduced 6eLozv q

increase IN our germ fighting strength. DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery enriches
the blood and makes it wholesome, stops
builds up the strength. A medicine which
will rid the blood its poisons, cleanse and
1nv1gorate the great organs of the body
v1talize the system, thrill the whole being
with new energy and make permanent work
of 1t, is surely remedy of great value. But
when we make a positive statement that QS
per cent. of all cases of consumption can, if
taken in the early stages of the disease, be

a bold assertion. All DR.. Pierce asks is that

QUESTION TO BE DETERMINED


The American people are inclined
TO politics naturally. Election day
is time of exhileration to the aver
age citizen. and he casts his vote and
assists his nelghbors in casting theirs
with feelings of pleasure mixed with
pride. The returns are studied with
an avidity that betokens deep inter-
est and are collated and compared,
and the result predicted with skill
that shows careful training.
The campaigns which every four
years occupy the attention of the
nation are distinctive features of
American civic life. The harangues
OF the spellbinders, the air resonant
with music, the gay flags and bunt-
ing, the tireless enthusiasm of the
listening populace, all make up a
scene that has changed but little
since the early history of the coun-
try.
The arts of the politician are no.
where greater developed than here.
The American politician is species
by himself. To be successful in
such line of work requires certain
elements of character which not
lofty in themselves, yet are above
the common. A native shrewdness,
combined with indomnitable deter
minat;on and a seeming inability to
realize defeat, make up the politi-
clan of today.
It is being seriously considered if
the politics of the country are not
being developed at the expense of
Its commercial interests. Many
business men are crying out that
there is a surfeit of campaigning ;
that the equilibrium of business
affairs is being too often disturbed
by the frequency Of elections; that
vital questions are settled after bitter
struggles only to be re-opened be-
fore there has been time to realize
effects.
That there is merit in the query is
unquestioned. The PEOPLE of Ore
gon have just finished one exciting
political season and are already be-
ginning upon another. During the
months between the nominating con-
Ventions and the election the atten-
ton of thousands of our citizens
has been concentrated on other
objects than their business. Bitter
ness and strife have been created,
thousands of dollars have been spent
in unlawful manner, and distrust
and dissatisfaction engendered where
before they did not exist.
On the other hand, to change the
time of elections to dates wider
apart would be to go against the
policy which, enacted by the founders
of the government, has been kept in
view ever since. The sovereignty
of the people demands that frequent
opportunity be given for expression
of opinion, and to lessen the number
of elections would be deprivation
of popular rights. Whether this
view obtain or not, no denial can be
made that the nation is suffering now
from an allopathic dose of needless
agitation. Were politics made of
less account and more time given to
sober thought than now is spent in
vapid mouthings, the country would
be spared the advent of men like
Altgcld, Waite and Tillman, all of
whom are disorganizers in the most
virulent sense of the word.

Mr.. Cragin estimates the number of

from this city at 500. In the last few
days there has been large increase.
The committee is not receiving any
applications because the laws forbid
such enlistments, but,it is well known
that there is almost q daily exodus OF
men in small bodies, so that no atten-

Ielections from Records Of Armenian
outrages.
One grows sick of reading of the
Rbominable outrages Of Turk and Kurd
in Armenia, and yet il is history and
current history, too. the pity of it.
III. H. Van Meter, son OF ReT. W.
G. Van Meter, for long time mis-
sionary in Armenia, has prepared 4
brief review of the records of Armenia

carefully prepared by Mr.. Van Meter.
and are full of interest.
Mr.. Van Meter gives an account of
the diplomatic relations between Tur-
key and the other powers, and the eff
forts of the Russians to protect the Ar
menian Christians. Continuing. he
says:

MICROBES NOT ADMITTED.
a Doctor Has Built a House from Which
Bacteria Are Excluded.

A Doctor Has Built House from Which
Bacteria Are Excluded.
DR.. w. Van der Hayden, a Dutch
bacteriologist who lives in Japan, has
built himself a house in Yokohama
from which microbes are absolutely ex-
cluded. This is very pleasant place
for man who is terribly familiar with
the prevalence and powers of the mi
crobe.
The doctors house is a dust-proof,
air-proof, microbe-proof building of
glass. 1t stands on the open, unshaded
grounds of the general hospital of Yo-
l<ohama. The house is Al feet high, %
aeet wide and II feet high. Large panes
of glass, half an inch thick and about
four inches apart, are set in iron frames
so as to form the sides of q cellular
building block. OF these blocks the
walls are constructed. There are no
window sashes, the air escape being
through several openings around the
upper part of the seeond story, but
through which no air from the outside
is admitted.
The air supply is obtained from a
considerable distance, forced through a
pipe and carefully filtered through cot
ton wool to cleanse it of bacteria. To
insure further sterilization the air is
driven against glycerin-coated plate
of glass, which captures all the mi
crobes the wool spares. The few mi
crobes brought into the house in the
clothes of visitors soon die in the warm
sunlight with which the house is
flooded.
The space between the glasses of the
building blocks is filed with a solution
of salts, which absorbs the heat of the
sun, so that the rooms of this house are
much cooler than those protected by
the thickest shades. In the evening
the evening the interior is heated by
The salts radiating the heat which they
have absorbed during the day. So eff
fectiye is the system of regulating the
temperature that a few hours of sun
light, even in freezing weather, will
render the house habitable. It is only
when several cloudy days follow in sue
cession that artificial heat is needed
Then it is supplied by pumping in hot
air. DIR. Van der Hayden thinks he has
solved the problem of complete germi.
