Il SHAM CAESAR.

The Gear who was crowned Tuesday
endeavored to make his coronation the
most splendid pageant of the century,
and in doing so forced the attention of
the civilized world to the unreality Of
his pretentions to absolute power as
the political vicar Of God.
| The oil with which he was annointed
neither gaue- him right nor confirmed
him in power. The whole gorgeeusly
barbaric ceremony was an anachr0nism
even in Russia, FOR even in Russia i'm
perial government by divine right is
deaj.
The claim that he is Caesar, hold
ing by succession from Constantine,
the modern world laughs at. BE is
crowned not as a ruler representing
the will of Heaven, but as the head of
an oligarchv from whom he holds his
title, whom he will uot venture to op-
pose, who would either control him or
depose him were any radical issue
forced between them.
The Russia of Ivan the Terrible and
of Peter the Great has passed away.
Since the time of Catharine the Rus
sian nobility have been the real gov
ernment. They are most oppressive
oligarchy, but they represent progress
away from depotism towards dem
ocracy. When similar conditions ex-
listed in France in the fifteenth and
sixteenth centuries the people were
upllfted because the king finally made
common cause with them against the
real government-the land-holders,
war lords and money lords of his king
dom. Exactly the same thing hap
pened in Germany in the eighteenth
century, and there was significant |
hint of it in Russia when the serfs wers |
manumitted.
1t is only through alliance with the
people that the Gar can ever become
the real ruler of Russia. AS their re-
he would be the most
powerful sovereign in the world. But
his anachronistic claim that he is the
of Heaven on the
throne of the Eastern Caesars makes
him sham despot controlled by the
lew hundred naughty and half-barbaric
mobiles who are the real czars of
Russia.

In commenting upon the defeat of
Judge Bennett for congress, the Port
land Dispatch very truly says: HE
made an able and honest contest, and
had the members of the party and its
professed leaders done their duty, he
would have been elected. He had to
make the fight alone, without even
the cooperation of the party managers,
with treason and treachery in the
ranks of his professed friends. While
Judge Bennett stands higher In the
affections of every true democrat than
ever, those who failed in their duty to
support him haveho reason to expect
a ,ything but condemnation. Judge
Bennett is a man whose personal
character. abilities and devotion to his
party and friends commend him to
every honorable man, and his election
TO congress would have reflected
credid on our state. He can better af-
ford defeat than the state be deprived
Of his services"

STEVENSON IN TRAINING.
Report That the Ni-e-President Favors
Free Coinage.

Report That the Ni-e-President Favors
Free Coinage.
WASHINGTON, June 2.-It is under.
stood here that Vice-President Stever .
son will soon announce himself in
favor of free coinage of silver. II e
statement is made that he has already
written letter in which he defines
his position and that it will soon be
published. The effect of this letter, it
is believed, will be to make the vice
president a prominent candidate for
the presidential nomination at
Chicago. There is talk here that
Kentucky and North Carolina will
pledge Mr.. Stevenson their support in
the event that the national convention
is controlled by the friends of silver.
The friends of the vice president be-
lieve he will be nominated at Chicago,
but democrats who are favorable
TO other candidates say he has too long
delayed an announcement of his
position and that his belated declara-
tion looks like an attempt to wait un-
til the battle is won and then to come
to bear Off the fruits of victory.

Run over by a Fiatcar and Killed.

CORNELIUS, Or, June al est ~
True, the 6-year-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Lrusy True, was run over by fiat
car this afternoon and almos Instantly
killed. The car was stanoing on a
sidetrack, which has slight incline,
and in some way it was started on the
down grade, it is said by the little fell
lows use of a pinch-bir, which he had
picked up. He ran in front of the car
tb stop 1t, when he vas knocked down,
and the heavy car passed. over his
az ms and body, killing him almost in
stantly. 1t does not seem possible that
the boy could have hy his own efforts
arted the car moving, but as there
was an incline it woul have taken
but little to have Sc it moving.

NEW IMMIGRATION BILL

In the new immigration bill barring

Germans will withdraw the 30 oGicers
now in the Chinese army, and insist
upon the payment of the whole amounl

Tung, with terrible slaughter, and u e

here as the result of the cloudburst,
and immediate aid is imperative. At
first all were engaged in recovering
lost bodies, but attention is now being
given to clearing the wreckage and
establishing homes. This task be-
comes formidable and is retarded by
the demolition of many houses. Scores
OF residents have lost all their effects,
aud in other cases furniture not de-
stroyed is damaged by water and mud
so as to be unfit for use, but people are
TOO poor to replace it.
An appeal has been made for assist
ahre and says 100000 is needed TO re-
pair the damage.

Great Britain has made demand on
the Hawaiian government on behalf of
Volney V. Ashford, exiled for com
plicity in the rebellion 15 months ago
The demand. in plain language, says
that Ashford, who has repe ttedly
asked permission to land, must be al
lowed to do so. His demands were re-
fused and he appealed to the British
government. President Dole has re-
piled to the demand, refusing to allow
A shford to come here. In close off
cial circles it is believed British man
of-war will come here and that Ash
ford will be landed without respect to
the wishes of the Hawaiian govern
ment. Dole will be firm in the matter.
and will probably appeal to the United
States for aid. Ashford is a native of
Ontario, Canada, and is now sick in
San Francisco hospital.
