THE MAIN QUESTION.

1t is true, as Speaker Reed says,
that two months ago it was gener-
ally believed that Republican sue
cess was a foregone conclusion.
This belief was founded upon GER
tain well-known facts and justified by
confidence in the good sense of the
American people. "What has hap.
pened since then p he asks. ''Have
the last four years of history been
blotted out? Not one scrap of them.
Is our condition better? Rather
worse" This presents the case in a
clear light, and emphasizes the main
question of the campaign. The facts
that led everybody to concede the
election of the Republican ticket two
months ago still exist and still mean
what they then meant. They are to
the effect that the Democratic party
has proved itself to be incapable of
managing the affairs of the govern
ment and unworthy of public trust
and respect. This is certainly a
sufficient reason for saying that it
should not be given another lease of
power, and for believing that such a
result will not ensue. Why, then,
should we be told that the popular
judgment of two months ago as to
the outcome of the pending contest
should now be modified by doubt
and fear in that relation? The Sit
nation has not been changed in any
way that lessons the measure of
Democratic incompetency and of
Democratic responsibility for the
hard times. What is there, then, to
justify the idea that the Republican
ticket may be defeated after all +?
To be sure, says the Globe Demo.
crat, In the last two months, the free
silver fallacy has been fastened upon
the Democratic party as its leading
doctrine and its principal purpose
but in what respect does this warrant
the inference that the people may
possibly shut their eyes to the facts
The Dalles daily chronicle. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1890-1948, 1896-08-08

of the last four years and continue
the unquestionable evils of Demo-
cratic rule for another term? Even
granting that the free silver theory
is right and would do everything for
the country that its advocates assert,
the same general and decisive Oh
jections to the Democratic party
would remain, and intelligence would
suggest that such a party could not
be depended upon to carry out any
advantageous policy. The money
question involves the larger one of
choosing between the two great par
ties on the basis of their respective
records in the matter of conducting
the public business and dealing with
the interests of the country. 1t is
not to be forgotten that the Demo-
cratic party is proposing to repair
damages that it has itself wrought
and what reason is there to suppose
that it would do any better on fur
ther trial? ''Human experience in
every walk of life," as Speaker Reed
puts it, ''teaches that those who have
blundered will blunder again" The
extent to which the Democrats have
blundered in the last four years is
unprecedented in our political his
tory; and it is safe 10 say, therefore,
that they will not he permitted to

A Cons derate Dog.

which he says will be verified by Archi-
tect G.. 4. Staehlin. ono breezy morning
about ten days ago they were riding down
Market street upon the rear OF trolley

light. soft hat. which had blown between
the tracks The hat was not injured. but

had passed and dropped il fairly upon

was coming and ahead Of It a big mongrel

The dog glanced az the hat. looked back

in his teeth. ran over 10 tho curb and
deposited IL upon tho sidewalk near a
group OF PAYERS who wero working along
side Of tho Courthouse. After putting
the hat IN a safe place the dog loped
after the big car and took HIS place I'm

HOW TO WIN A CASE
Rev. MIR. Harmon Gives a Pointer About
How to Reach a Jury.

now 10 heacn a Jury.
Rev. Mr. Harmon gave a reporter for
the Eagle pointer yesterday as 10 how
he could easily get out of trouble if ne
ever became involved n the tolls of the
law. IF you are ever arrested" said
Mr.. Harmon, land you ought to be
about three times day, just dilly daily
with your case so as to have the jury
out over Sunday. Then you can get me
to preach a Sabbath sermon to the jur-
ors and 1 will guarantee you a hung
jury, if not an acquittal." The reporter
informed him that he thought he would
need him pretty soon and asked him 10
have a good eloquent sermon prepared
dwelling strongly on the prosecution of
mild, angelic innocence and how jurors
should protect it.
The suggestion came up over an event
that occurred in this county some years
ago. A jury was out for several days
and had a bad case of hang Or their
hands. When Sunday came Judge Bal
derston came around 70 Mr.. Harmon's
house and asked him to preach 10 che
jurors. He consented. Tony Bruhn
was jury bailiff al the time Mr.. Har-
mon was not preaching very long when
tears came to Tony's eyes and he knew
he had reached the heart of one man.
He then put on little more steam and
the next time he surveyed the faces of
the jurors three of them Were crying.
He put on an extra touch and this time
he opened the flood gatss of the hearts
Of eight more. There was one of them
he could not reach for a long time but
he got him at last and got him good.
Bright and early the next morning the
jury agreed upon a verdict and the
whole city said ii was just one. This
was positive proof to the sinners at the
bar that the Lord had, after all, some
knowledge OF the hearts of a jury.

terday afternoon from Mr. Mcmahon.
as well as from Mr.. Frank Smith, both
conservative men, indicating that rhe
entire proceedings were largely exag-
gerated. Mr.. Mcmahon said that the
reports sent out from St. John were
very much overdrawn and were sent
out through the influence of another
circus who are on the same route TO
damage them This is quite Reasonable
and was expected by Mr.. McMahan be-
fore the circus left here. Saturday
night last a gang Of fellows came 10
Wichita from Dallas, Tex. and declar-
ed that they were following Bond
Brothers show. Mr.. McMshan said
then that the men were strangers 10
him and his people and he suspected
something wrong. These men were
drinking pretty hard in Wichita and
were making statements indicating that
they were going 10 cause trouble 10
somebody. Some Of them started in 70
be gay here but both the police and
circus people acted in concert to make
them hide out. Mr.. McMahan's friends
in Wichita now think that these fell
lows were the tools of rival circus 10

that an effort was made with knives TO
cut the circus tent at ST. John. but by
whom he does not state He does not
indicate whether they were local people
or the crowd OF hangers-on who came
from Dallas. At any rate, his brief
message indicates that the circus peO-
pie caught a dozen or more fellows
slashing at the tents with knives and
that mis- people defended the property
and beat off the other fellows. At any
rate the circus people left St. John in
good shape and were ready TO show al
Dodge City last night. Some other
private kilograms were received yester-
day from parties who did not belong 10
the circus saying that the legitamate
circus people were all right and did the
best to prevent trouble, but that the
racket was caused entirely by people
not having anything 10 do with the cir
Gus. They also indicated that the
sheriff acted hastily in calling for the
militia, but that he was misinformed
about the character and extent of the
trouble.

tails will be aScertained more fully

How does your edition of Britannica
