WISE FOOLS.

The questions 10 be settled by the
approaching election are of the high
est Importance to every individual,
and no voter should go to the polls
uncertain as to how he should vote.
The ablest speakers of all parties are
in the field, and every community is
given an opportunity of hearing the
issues discussed. No man can afford
to remain away from these discus
slOns; every man owes it to himself
and to his country to hear what is to
be said in opposition, as well as in
support, of his own views. Voters
are prone to avoid every meeting
held under the auspices of the orpos-
ing party, lest his presence might ap-
pear to lend encouragement to the
opponents cause. This is but the
policy of wise fool. If our views
of the issues will deter US from hear
ing both sides fairly and candidly,
there is something wrong with them,
and every man owes it to himself
and to his country to hear all that
can be said for or against the views
we have already formed; if these
views will not bear the test of free
discussion, they are unsafe.
The people of Wasco county will
soon have an opportunity of hearing
men of national reputation. Lei
every voter who can possibly reach

vote on the wrong side VIII be de
plored for four years. Therefore
before voting make sure you art
voting as wisdom, not as ignorauc,
or prejudice, dictates.

the policy of protection should be
abandoned or why the policy of free
silver should be adopted. Every
one has talked about the money
changers and the plutocrats, but none
have presented fact or an argu-
ment supporting the prejudices to
which they appealed. Denunciation
is pleasing to many men, but in the
settlement of great national policy
is contemplate and nothing more.
Yet hundreds of men will go to hear
a speech consisting simply of vitu-
peration and invective, and never go
near a speaker who presents to his
audience history, reason, experience
and indisputable facts.

Our Democratic friends are IN
sisting that the Republicans have
claimed that the price of wheat has
gone up because Mckinley is likely
to be elected. We have never made
such claim, and no sane man will
do so. We insist that the shortage
in the crop in Russia and over our
own coutry IS forcing the price up;
this and nothing more. Neither
silver legislation nor tariff laws will
affect the price of wheat, because
Liverpool fixes the price, or. more
correctly, the competition among the
sellers and buyers in the Liverpool
market fixes the price of wheat.

Some weeks ago THE CHRONICLE
declared that no party can afford to
win at this election by means of de-
ception or misrepresentation. Thus
far we have been called upon almost
daily to refute misstatements of the
Popocratic press and speakers; but
there seems to be no cessation of this
kind of campaigning. The appeals
to prejudice are just as Objectionable
and dishonest as any other kind of
deception. If Bryan wins in Oregon
it will not be by honest or fair
means.

Electrtc Bttters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gem
orally needed, when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liver
is torpid and sluggish and the need of a
tonic and alternative is felt. A prompt
use of this medicine has often averted
long and perhaps fatal bilious fevers.
No medicine will act more surely in
counteracting and freeing the system
from the malarial poison. Headache,
Indigestion, Constipation, Dizziness
yield to Electric Bitters. SOC and 81 per

ELECTRICITY.
Has Gained Complete Victory Owe

Has Gained Complete Victory Over
other Motive Powers.
The fact that French engineers have
been testing compressed air for car
traction purposes for the last fifteen
years has been recently adduced as an
argument in favor of this system, says
the Cincinnati Enquirer. NJ. b. ABB
dank, leading authority on the past
and present conditions Of street prac-
tice in France, states that every con-
ceivable means Of street-car propulsion,
including ordinary methods, super
heated steam and compressed air, have
been tried, each, with one exception
electricity-has been or will be shortly
abandoned. The super-heated system
he considers dead, although it is con-
tinued in many places because OF the
great cost that would be involved in
making a change. Although the COM
pressed air system is in larger use, he
pronounces the same verdict upon it.
No better confirmation of this opinion
could be made than that shown by the
present status of the several systems
in use in France. Although the troll
ley system was introduced but three
years ago in that country it runs al
ready over 500 miles, while there are
at present but forty-one miles of COM
pressed air roads, although that sys-
tenn was established in 1881. There
has not been added a single compress
ed air line since the trolley asserted
its superiority. The mileage OF super
heated steam roads is even smaller
than that of compressed air roads.
The downfall of compressed air trac-
ton M. Abdank attributes to the great
er cheapness and simplicity of the
trolley, the repair cost alone on air
motors used in France being enormous.
NJ. Abdank regards the cable system as
Anticipated and doomed soon to become
obsolete. American manufacturers OF
electrical railway apparatus are urged
to study the conditions now existing
throughout France, and especially in
Paris, where the general introduction
of both underground and overhead
trolley systems is likely to take place
before the opening of the International
Exhibition in 1900.

The dandelion is not an old-world

A Good Fruit and Farming Region
Now Being Settled.
This tract of land lies in the Eastern part
of Colorado County and Northern part of
Wharton County, Texas about fifty miles
west of Houston, the great commercial CEN
ter of the state. The soil is rich, produc.
tive sandy loan. This district in TexaS
has plenty of rainfall for crops, and one II
tho necessities in order to secure a gott
farm is to have land that lays smooth y
and has high enough altitude for perfect
drainage, which can DO secured in this
tract, as it is smooth rolling prairie, lying
on the divide between the San Bernardo
and Colorado Rivers.
This district has q mild, delightful
climate, enabling you to produce somt-
thing almost each month in the year. Az
other great advantage is that through this
tract there are two lines of railroads, and
within the lin its of this tract, which is
twelve miles North and South, and eight
miles East aud West, there are two towns
located, one on each road, which gives spe-
cial advantages to any farmer locating
there.
We anticipate that you desire to invest
in lands for farm and home, whore the
prices are low, the terms easy, and where
you can purchase and pay for the land in
three or four years, as cheaply as you are
now paying rent.
We run excursions to the lands over the
c., r. l. & p. to Fl. Worth, and from there
over the Santa Fe to W allis, Texas. We
secure you the lowest rates and will ac-
