A convention Cnfnstrophc.

A famous old chestnut In physics has
been answered. The Irresistible force has
come into collision with the immovable
body. II occurred at the Chicago conven-
ton. The result? A dull thud of the Hon.
Babe" Bailey falling outside OF the
breastworks. and a consequent seismic
wave agitating the solid earth from Ne
braska to Texas. No casualties.
The manner in which II came about is
interesting. The Hon. Babe" was a
Texas delegate at Chicago. He is the stan
dard by which all democrats are measur-
ed; that is, by Babe" himself. Free sill
yer counts four points in a possible ten
with the Hon. Babe" and personal
beauty six. Before the national commit
tee had made up its list for the
temporary organization, there was talk
of putting Bryan up as temporary chair
man. The Texas delegation held a con-
sultation. in which Bailey objected TO
Bryan. 1t is suspected that he had learn
ed through Gov. Stone of Missouri that
Bryan was beautiful as Apollo, and in
telleetual beyond comparison" That
clearly outclassed him, and he would
brook no such rivalry. Therefore he OBJ
posed Bryan acceptance in a democratic
convention. lie denounced the Nebras-
ka man as a populists. Bryan is no
democrat" he said. he is unsound in
democratic principles" He also went
on to call attention to the fact that when
in congress the hayward Nebraskan had
voted against the repeal of the 10 per
cent tax on state banks when the dem
ocratic platform had advocated it.
Babe" is the ablest free silver demo-
orat in Texas Also the most beautiful.
He is a heavy weight, in avoirdupois and
oratory He has time and again announc-
ed, declared and affirmed himself immov-
able in his politics. His counsel was not
without influence. The Texas delegation
followed his head, but as 1t turned out the
national committee did not even give Bry-
ans delegation a place in the convention.
Babes denunciation of him, however.

Under the new policies enunciated in
the Chicago platform still lies the great
democratic charter inherited from Mr.
Jefferson, and upon that every true demo-

may be the mistakes of the platform as
regards policies, the cornerstone of true
democratic faith remains intact beneath
them, and in loyalty to that faith lies
the hope of perpetuation of republican

A Kettle of Fish.

There was never such a kettle of fish;
never so much dissatisfaction in the dem
ocratic ranks. never so strong a disposl-
ton to stick to the party and never so
little encouragement in a democrats
platform for democrats to abide by its
declarations. If Mr.. Bryan had been nom
mated by a populist convention on the
platform adopted at Chicago-the plat
form is more populist than democratic
we would all say that democrats should
not vote for him. The only reason for
urging democrats to vote for him now is
that he has the democratic name. We
could not advise anyone to vote for Me-

party which he representative can

proposition before the meeting. The
vote sohwed a decided majority against
the amendment, and when the motion
vote was practically unanimous IN its
favor. This settled the matter of the
tax.
The other subject that came up was
the necessity for more room. Director
Doane stated that the board saw the ne
cessity of providing additional accommo-
dations for the district, and definite
action must soon be taken. A plan
which has recommended itself to the
board was for the district to build an
eight-room building. either of brick or
wood, upon the vacant ground west of
the academy. This building might have
four school rooms down stairs and up
stairs have a large assembly room which
could be divided by folding doors. Two
recitation rooms could flank the assem-
bly, room. Such a building, if built of
brick, would cost, it is estimated, 81 1000
and the furnishings about So, 600. The
indebtedness of the district is now Sc 800
and the new building, at the cost esti-
mated, would increase the debt to $l6,-
600. The directors stated that there
were parties who were willing to lend
the district this amount of money upon
long time at six per cent interest, provided
they would be the sole creditors. This
plan was carefully listened to by the
taxpayers, but no action was taken, and
If was moved that the matter be post
poned until the regular meeting in
March. During the intervention it is
hoped the matter will be fully discussed.

ers. Themeeting was called to order by
Director o. D. Doane, who presided
over its deliberations, Director Kiner-
Isly being present, but Mr.. Adams, the
other director, being confined to his
home by illness. The objects for which
the meeting was called were stated by
the chairman, after which the county
clerks statement of taxable property
was read by School Clerk Jacobsen. An
informal report from the directors was
made, stating the amount of expenses
for the ensuing year and the estimated
revenue under six-mill tax. This es-
innate is as follows:

Due from tuition (est} ......... 600 90

The expenses are roughly estimated at
$11 900, though it is probable they may
exceed these figures somewhat.
AACSl tho IePorC lIon Iho OOaIu' MI
G. L. Phillips, in order to get the mat
ter before the meeting, moved that a
six-mill tax be levied. Mr.. Barnett
moved to amend by making it five mills.
The motion and amendment were both
seconded. Quite an extended discus
sion followed, during which the sugges-
ton was made of reducing the teachers
salaries. Some thought that the sala-
ries as now paid were too high; others
were of the opinion that some teachers
were being paid too much and some
were not. No definite action was taken,
however, and cries of question on the
amendment! brought the fve-mill

short talk, thanking his many friends
for the kindness shown him and his.
While he appreciated the good will of
the people, he felt that he was unworthy
of so much demonstration. y
Eight deeds came in bunch to the,
county clerks Office today. The grantee
in each of them was the Hood River
Lumber Company and the grantors
Davis Divers, Van Johnson, Charles A.
Ross, T. R. Coon and Della NJ. Coon, J.
N. Reynolds, James English and Oliver
English, Peter Nesson, Louisa F. Reed.
These deeds were given by owners OF
property along the banks of Hood river
to enable the lum ber company to make
the improvements contemplated when
the recent lease was entered into with
the county court and that body declared
the stream public highway. The i'm
proYement of Hood river and the build
ing of the dam, it would seem, should
result in much benefit, both to the Sec
ton of county through which the stream
passes and the growing town at its
mouth. What Hood River, as other
towns similarly situated, needs is the
investment of outside capital, and we
are informed that this is the case in the
project which the lumber company is
