The Union cannot say that Bond
Brothers circus was the best that ever
showed in this city, but it can say con-
sistently that the performance was clean
and creditable. The price of admission
was not as high as the usual circus
charge, but the entertainment was IN ad-
vance of many of the aggregations that
have for Cheir price of admission twice
that charged by Bond Bros. All of the
ring work and aerial performances were
up to the usual standard and the dam
gerOus and difficult feats of the LaRolle
brothers was something that is rarely, if
ever, excelled under circus tent. Prof.
McLaughlin's group of trained horses is
a study for the ablest critic, and the fact
that number of these animals were at
one time part of the great Barnum
shows is enough to give credence to a
claim that they are superior to other
acts of a similar character. LaWande
exhibits similar work to that of his emf
nent father, who has worldwide repu-
tation as a horseback rider, and Mr..
James Burchard's movement as a con-
tortloniet deserves special mention.
The show is under the supervision of
gentlemanly managers, which is alwavs
a pleasure to visitors.

per cent. are cured by DR.. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, even after the disease
has progressed so far as to induce repeated
bleedings from the lungs, severe lingering
cough with copious expectoration (includ-
ing tubercular r1atter), great loss of flesh
and extreme ernaciation and weakness
Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases
reported to US as cured by t' Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
instance, been SO pronounced by the best
ana most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever in mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
trial of Golden Medical Discovery
but who have been forced to confess that
1t surpasses, in curative power over this
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
ht, or had only seemed to benefit little for
q short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypopt1os-
phltes had also been faithfully tried in vain.

REALIzED TOO LATE.

The election for congress in the
Second district wavers between Ellis
and Quinn, with chances slightly in
favor of the latter. 1t is amusing to
hear the statements made by those
deluded Republicans who cast their
votes primarily for Northup and in
cidently for Quinn.
The Portland Telegram-the even
ing edition of the Oregonian-
comes to US this morning with a
piece highly eulogistic of Populist
Quinn and goes on to say Martin
Quinn, driver for a steam laundry of
Portland, through split in the Re-
publican party, which could not but
mean ruin and defeat, leaps from
the obscuity of an 81 week job
to the proud eminence of represent
ing the state of Oregon at the ma
tlonal capital, and be it known that
Mr.. Quinn, despite his humble occu-
patton, will IN no wise bring dis
credit upon the state so far as intel
ligcnce and ability to express him
self is concerned"
So the Telegram, to soothe the
pangs of disappointment which every
true Republican will feel if Quinn's
election results, eulogizes that gentle
man to remarkable extent. At
the same time the Portland paper
states the truth that we have all been
saying when it maintains that Quinn
was elected through a split in the
Republican party which could not
but mean ruin and defeat. And who
is to blame for this split in the Re-
publican party? The answer is too
plain to need any emphasis. The
course of the Oregonian and Tele
gram in supporting a man who
never at any time had a show of
election, has been the cause of the
defeat which hangs imminent over
the Republican Larty.
Better half loaf than no bread
at all. The course of Mr.. Ellis in
congress may not have been all that
his constituents desired, but how
much better would Oregon be rep !
resented by him than by the Popu-
list, Mr.. Quinn.
The Republican party is disorgan-
lied, disrupted and beaten as regards
the state election. Let the Orego-
nian say what it Will, the people have
placed the blame where 1T rightfully
belongs = with the candidacy Of
Judge Northup.
