Official Paper Of the City OF Aberdeen
A GREAT VICTORY.

When the sun went down on the state
of Washington last Tuesday the ballot
box contained the record of great VIC
tory which the people OF this state had
representatives at Ellensburg sealed the
compact had wavered. All the jeers and
glbes and lies which had been heaped up
Oh these forces by the Republican press
and speakers had failed to saerve them
from their path of duty.
The regime OF the party which has seen
fit TO commit its keeping to such as John
III. McGraw and Charles Potter Sullivan
has been ended with utter rout, and in its
place has come one by men Of more
rugged character who are absolutely free
from all domination by any power what
soevcr, and who are answeruble only to
that large majority OF the citizens Of this
state who sent them to their posts to gov
crn it honestly, justly, frugally and with
iavortism to none.
At the head they have placed John Il.
Rogers, who will do his duty as he sees
it, though the Heavens fall. Over the
valuable tide, timber and school lands
they have placed Robert Bridges, that
stalwart man, who will sacredly guard
the heritage of the state which is contain
ed i'm these lands. To congress they have
sent that peerless orator, that champion
Of the people, James Hamilton Lewis,
and that earnest advocate OF free silver,
and able lawyer William G. Jones; and
legislature has been elected which will
SO far as possible undo the miscl,ievous
legislation which cumbers our statute
books; will enact more just and equitable
laws, and send to the United States SELL
ate a man from the people who fears no
foc--not even England.

Chinese Treatment Of Children,

However little liked the Chinaman
.riay be by his white neighbors, have
at all times found that the Chinese had
at least one good and praiseworthy quail
ity-the kindness shown by all Of them
toward their children. The poorest
parents always seem able to save enough
money to array their little ones in gay
garments ON New Years day or other
holidays. The children in turn seem to
be remarkably we'll behaved and respect
full toward their elders, and rarely if
ever receive corporal punishment. They
seem very happy, and apparently enjoy
their childhood more than most Ameri-
can children. On almost any sunny day
the fond and proud father may be seen
at every turn in Chinatown carrying his
brightly attired youngster in his arms.
Other little tots. hardly old enough to
feel quite steady on their legs, toddle
about with infants strapped on their
backs. They do not appear to mind this,
and it does not seem to interfere with
their childish pastimes. About the time
Of the Chinese New Year Chinese chill
dren are particularly favored. and the
fond fathers deny them nothing. The
little ones always appear to be well pro-
vided with pocket money to buy toys
and candies. Wores in st.

ARIzONA'S MOUNTAIN PUZZLE.
10 It Hole Through an inaccessible Peak
OF Only q Natural Mirror?

10 It Hole Through AN inaccessible Peah
or Only Natural Mirror?
For the last half century the Ameri-
can residents Of Tucson, A. T., have
been trying to solve mystery in the
shape of what appears to be hole
through mountain peak i'll plain sight
from the town. In the rarefied air it
looks to be only Il short distance away,
when in reality it is at least 40 miles.
The earliest residents noticed the phe-
nomenon, and the only difficulty that lay
in the way Of finding out just what it was
was the fact that it was inaccessible,
and when they came anywhere near tho
spot the hole disappeared from sight
In fact, it can only be seen from within
u few miles Of Tucson, and this has led
many people to believe that it is not u
hole at all
By the aid of good marine telescope
the mountain can be brought to within
q few miles, but not near enough to tell
the exact nature Of the rock formation.
An astronomical telescope cannot be TO-
cuscd Oh it, as the mountain is too near.
A first peep through the glass would
lead one to believe that there was no
mystery about it, The hole appears as
plain as possible, but several days study
of the spot will develop tho fact that
the hole does not always look the
same. Many days when the sky is dark
behind the mountain the hole will ap-
pear brilliant white, like snowdrift,
and on days when the sky is blue it will
often look SO dark as to be almost in
visible. These facts have led many to
think that it is an immense piece Of
mica lying with its polished surface to-
ward the sky and rejecting the cloud
formations Of another part Of the hori-
zon instead Of being tho light seen
through hole. Viewed with the naked
eye the hole simply appears as white
spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees
and other details, although very indis.
tinctly.
The range Of mountains in which the
strange peak can be seen is known as
the Catalinas, and numerous parties
have made the attempt to climb it, but
all have failed on account Of the steep
and rugged precipices in the vicinity.
The peak is high one and can be seen
from any point III the journey toward
it, but when ten miles out Of Tucson the
hole can no longer be seen, even with
the aid of a glass. This can be explain
cd on the mica theory, as surface OF
that material would not reflect ray Of
light toward Il PERSONS eye after they
got out Of its angle Of projection. San

MONEY WINS.

Late returns this evening are that the
chairman OF the National Democratic
committee comedies the election Of Mr..
Mckinley. The increased Democratic
gains in the rural districts o. the great
middle west not being sufficient to over
come the Republican gains in the large
cities where money could be used in the
purchase of votes, and where the trades
men could be scared by the the threats OF
the money power to produce panic.
They beat Jackson in 1924 as they have
beaten Bryan in 1896; but rs the people
overthrow them in 1928 and elected
Jackson, SO will they again overthrow
them in 1850 and elect Bryan. The fight
will 90 on; the campaign OF education
will be continued, and in four years, if
not before, the righteous cause Of free cor-
age OF both gold and silver will be victo-
riOuS.

THE FIGHT TO GO ON.

Let no man delude himself with the
idea that because Mr.. Bryan has been de-
feated in this election that the cause of
the free coinage OF silver has been forever
beaten. Its cause is just and right, and
just so sure as just and right always pre-
vail in the end, so sure will silver be
given her rights along With gold.
Vice Chairman l. N, Stevens OF the
Democratic national committee expresses
the proper sentiment in the following
at was not free silver that was beaten.
1t was the extreme and impolitic planks
of the Chicago platform that were showed
under. That platform arrayed millions
of conservative business men against us
who are really in favor of free silver.
Another powerful factor was that the
Democratic party went into power four
years ago with president and both
houses OF congress and the policy Of the
president and the legislation OF the major
ity Of the party in congress had uniformly
been against the people in favor OF trusts.
The American people wanted change,
and they evidently distrusted another
Democratic administration, however
strong its professions in the interests of
the people, The silver question will not
down until justly settled by the restora-
ton of free coinage. 1t is to be hoped
the next time it is submitted to the ,pec-
pie it will not be handicapped by the in
lection OF other questions about which
the advocates OF free coinage differ radi-
cally in opinion"

Here is little anecdote told, not by
q malicious uitlander, but by Boer.
In the early days, before the Transvaal
was republic, there was famine in
the land, and q party was organized to
hunt the bartbeest. For days the party
secured the veldt in vain; there was no
sign Of game Of any description. Then
one Of the Beers declared his intention
of retiring into the bush to pray for sue.
cor, as did the patriarchs Of old. He ac-
cordingly left the party i'll company with
native and disappeared into the bush.
Some hours afterward the Bocr re-
turned and informed the party solcmnly
that he had prayed, and i'll three days
time very large troop Of hartbeest
would pass that way. The party re-
manned at the camp, and, sure enough,
two days after the promised game APP
pcarcd in sight, and the Dutchmen, with
thankful heart, made great haul.
From that moment "thc man of pray
err became the popular hero until he
was elected president of the South Afri-
can republic. That man was Paul Kru-
ger.
And now listen to the cdifying sequel :
1t was some time afterward that tho
native who accompanied Kruger into the
bush gave his version of the affair. Tho
native stated that when Kruger entered
the bush he did not pray, but struck out
for Il neighboring Kailir kraal. Calling

that the white people were starving and
could find no game. There was large
number Of armed Beers on tho other side
Of the bush, who had sent him to tell
them that unless they Uhe natives) dis
covered game in less than three days
they would all be shot. Knowing Boer
methods only too well, the frightened
natives set out forthwith, discovered the
game and drove it toward the Boer

u. r. Garrison told story to Gen.

illustrates to certain extent the kind
heartedness Of General Grant. Grant
was great lover Of horses, and while
he was president he came on visit to
st. Louis, and Mr. Garrison, at that
time president OF the old Pacific road,
took him out to his farm. They started
off in buggy for drive, and after 60

and said: "Hello, Uncle Ben! How arc
you and the old woman getting along?"
The old man was Uncle Ben Sapping-
ton. He welcomed the president and
said that he was getting along very
we'll. He remarked that they were hap
py as long as they had enough to eat
and pipe and a little tobacco.
"Uncle Ben, wouldn't you like to be
postmaster Of Meramee township" ask
ed the president.
Uncle Ben said he would not object,
and Grant shook him by tho hand and
said: "God bless you and your wife,
Uncle Ben. think Of you often"
When Grant got back in the buggy,
the tears were streaming from his eyes,
and he said to Mr.. Garrison: "Poor old
Uncle Ben. He has big heart. re-
member" he said, "when I and my
wife, living in that house over there,
did not have any more to eat than need
