How 1t Is Regarded.

They vino know Senator SuIlire have
expected that he would meet the emcr-
gtncv OF his distinct rejection by the Re
publcans of Washington with some new

office. and he g"c~ to Bryan from the
same motive He is small loss TO the

/ tor Squire has no qualities OF brain or
character to make him valuable either
as a party leader or us legislator. He
entered public life through the gate of a
rich marriage, aided by the entire will
llngucsS Of his new relatives that the
continent should separate them. From
Governor OF the Territory he became and
remained Senator by a cynical freedom
from either moral or intellectual scruple
The commercial spirit is so well devel
Oped IN HIM that he has never hestated
To trade either for convictions or for
votes. No one has done so much to de-
bauch politics in Washington. As a
Senator, he is INDECENT and incapable of
effective service. His only conception
OF Senatorial duty is to intrigue for re-
election, The career which is about to
close has been neither honorable to him
nor useful to his State-Ponltnd Ore
gonidn.
Such is the character and abuse
heaped upon the head of Senator
Squire by the Republican press of
Washington and Oregon. These peo-
pie seem to forget that it was not
Squire that debauched their party in
the Senatorial fight. 1t was John Nc
Graw and his heelers and thugs who
organized and carried out the Metcalf
infamy, and now these same papers
that are heaping contumely upon the
head OF Senator Squire because he

In declaring for free silver are tearing
their clothes, following themselves
hoarse for John McGraw for Senator.
Obeylng the law of natural selection,
they want to put this INSCRIPTIONS,
cold-blooded, selfish politician into the
position now filled by Senator Squire,
who is infinitely better fitted by train
Ing, education and experience than
this man McGraw. They seem to
think that the qualities of corruption
and infamy so successfully employed
and carried out by McGraw endow him
with peculiar fitness for Senatorial
duties. They seem to think that mas.
much as the role of infamy was so sue.
cessful in the case of Squire it will be
equally so in his own behalf.

A COMMISSION Of seven men now
in this State, having been sent out
from Washington, will proceed at
once into the Olympics to study the
forestry of that section with q view to
the establishment of a government
park or reserve for the better protec-
ton OF timber. The commission was
created at the instance of Hoke
Smith, Secretary OF the Interior, and
among the number appears the name
OF Alexander Agassiz, son of the late
eminent naturalist.

Results OF the Hot Wave.

The fearful record now shows that
one thousand deaths have occurred in

Similar conditions have prevailed

WITHOUT HONOR, EVEN AMID
FRIENDs.-The Chehalis Nugget, the
most blatant goldbug newspaper in
the State that has attempted to sail
under Democratic colors, is unsparing
in its announcement of Hugh Wallace.
1t charges that he sold the gold dele
cation of Pierce county to free silver
to secure his own election as delegate
to Chicago and made further corrupt
bargain with some of his silver COL
leagues for retention on the National
Committee, both of which acts were
in conflict with his protested priuci-
Piles and deserving OF censure. 1t calls
upon him to resign, Chat paper being

disgusted with his treason that he
hung himself.

A TERRIBLE RECORD.-lt now turns
out that the 1000 lives lost in
Japan by the tidal wave disaster con.
siberably exceeds the total death roll
OF the late war between Japan and
China. Besides those killed by
drowning and other means, thousands
are left badly wounded, many Of
whom are destitute of means to pru.
vide for proper medical and surgical
attendance. By such occurrences az
these we are enabled to get some idea
OF the power OF natural agencies az
contrasted with the weakness of hu.
man effort. Official reports say the
destruction of property is incalculable
and that it will take years for the
country to recuperate its industrial
and financial affairs. Nothing in the
annals of recorded history furnishes
anything like precedent to this visi.
tation.

The TRY-KETTLE-The Examiner
publishes list Of the fat pocket-books
that will have to contribute fat to the
Republican corruption fund, beginning
with Rockefeller with his 1925 100000
and ending with Wash. E. Conner
with his little 100000. The num-
Der is 46 and their aggregate wealth
$556,OOO,OOO. Twenty-four simple
millionaires are also named and six
teen worth from quarter to half a
million each, who are thrown into the
kettle not so much for the grease
they contain as to show impartiality
and recognize the identity OF men
who may not be worth even q solid
million. The corruption fund so far
amounts to $10,000,OOO and it is pro-
posed to double it. II these schemers
should be successful in their plan to
overcome numbers by deliberate pur-
chase of the birthright of citizenship,
they themselves would be the greatest
sufferers, for they would let loose the
spirit OF demon that RACES in every
human breast after the limit of endur-
ance is reached.

Ice Cream Made by a New Process,

have an Ice Iream Freezer that
will freeze cream instantly. The
cream is put into the freezer and
comes out instantly, smooth and per-
fectly frozen. This astonishes people
and a crowd will gather to see the
freezer in operation and a crowd will
all want to try the cream. You can
sell cream as fast as it can be made
and sell freezers to many OF them who
would not buy an old style freezer.
1t is really curiosity and you can sell
from 70 to IS worth of cream and six
to twelve freezers every day. Thi.

REFERENCE was unintentionally
omitted in our last number to the
tragic death OF L. H. Plattor, the WELL
known attorney and prominent DEM
ocratic politician, of Colfax. He was
shot and instantly killed by Henry
Seiffert, a"sporting" man, who was
an applicant for the position of Ad.
ministrator OF the estate of Rudolph
Gorkow, rich brewer, who died here
this week. Gorkow had married va.
rtety actress about year ago, and the
marriage was an unhappy one. He
brought suit for divorce shortly before
his death, and in his will cut his wife
off with dollar. She is contesting
the will, and there is struggle over
the administration of the estate. Plat.
tor represented some OF the beneficiar.
les of the will, opposing Seiffert.

A Contrast.

1t may be justly questioned whether
the people OF Western Washington
and especially OF the Sound country
ever adequately realize the blessings
OF its equable and salubrious climate
as compared with the fearful heat now
prevailing in all the ultra Rocky
mountain districts.
In many of the Atlantic and inland
cities the indicated temperature has
been for days together from ninety
up into the hundreds snd with no re-
lief at night. Many people have died
from sunstroke and hundreds of horses
are reported rs having fallen upon the
streets, suddenly and fatally over
come by the broiling rays of noon
day sun. In contrast with this DIES.
perate state of aff.irs our own people
are quietly enjoying \ temperature of
from 20 in the morning and to Is and
~ in the warmest part of the day.
Indeed, after never so hot a day the
night is so cool that sleepers feel the
comfort OF liberal supply of bed GOV.
ers. In the middle ages it used to be
said that the isles of the Blest" Law
far to the westward. Is it possible
that we are unwittingly smiling the
breezes OF those happy realms?

THAT prince of journalism, w. r.
Hearst, who founded the S. F. Erans-
iner and the N. Y. Journal, two mod
els of advanced city newspaper enter
prise, is now making arrangements for
the establishment Of true Democratic
paper in Chicago. All this mighty in.
fiuence is to be thrown for remoneti-
cation of silver. It is gratifying to
note this rare exception to the spirit
OF aggrandizement which generally &C.
companies the possession of great
wealth. While the city dailies of the
large trade centers are dominated
by monopolistic and corporate power,
luckily for the people there is one man
who has higher ambition than to
add to his millions, who is willing to
sacrifice portion of his wealth for the
public good. 1t is a costly venture to
60 into fields occupied by sordid greed
and fight the battle single.handed,
but we believe it will result in victory
and ultimately make Mr.. Hearst the
Napoleon of his chosen profession.

The Southern California Coast run

that of the steamer st. Paul which
went upon the rocks near Monterey

was bound for San Francisco with
forty passengers, about 200 head OF
cattle and 5000 sacks of grain and

ABOUT the latest report OF much
Importance from Ellensburg is that
bearing date of 2:3O this morning.
1t stated that the conference commit
, tee was still closeted and hard at work
perfecting the distribution OF offices
among the three conventions. This
committee was made up of one men,
Der from each county for each con-
vention. So far as yet agreed upon
the Democrats are to have one Con.
gresham, the Supreme Judge and
State Printer. The Silverites get the
Attorney General and State Superin-
tendent Of Public Instruction. The
Silverites and Populists are wrangling
over the question as to which should
have the other Congressman. The
Populists are striving to get all the
rest OF the offices. OF course, it is too
early to formulate any definite idea re-
garding the final outcome OF affairs.
Such TwADDLE.-Under the head of
" The Peoples Horse Sense" the
P.-L. OF the 18th inst, tries to inaugu-
rate a scare as follows: "There is
reason to fear apprehension OF trouble
in the country if Bryan shonld be
elected and free silver coinage should
be adopted. That condition will come
about through entirely natural causes,
the natural tendency to self-protection
in money matters. For this reason
it is the duty of every Republican,
and indeed of every citizen, who has
not been led away by the delusion, to
bind every effort to the election of the
Republican candidates." In thus APP
pealing TO the horse sense" of the
people, the Post-Intelligeneer is big
ger fool than Thompson's colt, if it
cannot see the sophistry of its own
reasoning.

Romance of a Drop of Water.

Water that is now in the ocean and
in the river has been many times IN
the sky. The history of single drop
taken out of glass of water is really
a romantic one. No traveller has ever
accomplished such distances in life.
That particle may have reflected the
palm trees of coral islands and have
caught the sun ray in the arch that
spans a cloud clearing away from the
valleys of Cumberland or California.
1t may have been carried by the
gulf stream from the shore of Florida
or of Cuba, to be turned into crystal
of ice beside the preclpices of SPltz-
bergen. 1t may have lowered over
the streets of London and have formed
a part of the musky fog and have
glistened on the young grass blade OF
April Irish fields. 1t has been lifted
up to heaven and sailed in great wool
pack clouds across the sky, forming
part of cloud mountain echoing with
thunder. 1t has hung in heecy veil
many miles above the earth at the close
of long seasons of still weather. 1t
has descended many times over in
showers to refresh the earth, and has
sparkled and dubbed in messy foun-
tains in every country in Europe.
And it has returned to its native
skies, having accomplished its purpose,
to be stored once again with electricity
to give it new life producing qualities
and equip it as heavens messenger to
earth once more.
