Register surprises no one by Its desire to
thus let itself loose over a victory scored
IL an organization labelled Democratic,
but repudiated by thousands OF respecta-
BILE Democrats in New York City, mas
much as II has been some time since our
neighbor has had an opportunity to
TO crow over anything political, it will
strike a great many people that the re-
joicIng is a triie inconsistent with It's at
titude in other respects.
The Register seems proud to boast
that It is a believer In William ]. Bryan
and the Righteousness OF his cause, and
It is so enthusiastic a free silverlte that
It believes all Democrats who do not be-
lieve in this heresy are traitors to Dem
ocracy. II the victory of rammany Is to
be construed as a Popocratio victory
from a national point OF view, the cir
cumstances certainly do not warrant 1T
In the first place, the Tammany ma
chine controlled the regular city Demo-
cratic convention, and atits dictation the
convention refused to endorse the Chica-
go platform, The free silver, or Bryan
wing Of the Democracy then r~epudiated
the ticket, and Joined the "J~effersonian"
Democratic movement headed by Henry
George, their convention reafirming the
Chicago platform and swearing allegl-
ance to Bryan and Organism,
Bryan himself rebuked Tammany for
Its refusal to endorse the Chicago plat
form. and declined to utter one word
that could be construed to be anything
In aid of Van Wyck. On the contrary,
he was in sympathy with the free silver
ties who bolted the Tammany ticket, and
flocked to the standard of Henry George.
Although George himself had not been a
siiyerite, he had accepted a nomination
on that platform. Had his death not &C.
CURED on almost the v Of the election.
the triumph of Tammany would not
have been so pronounced.
Nov, II u ~neighbor Is sincere in Its
espousal of Bryan and free silver. 1t
looks as II It's j~ubllation over the victory
OF a ticket which Bryan himself practice
ally r~epudiated, so far as 1t affected ma
tional issues, indicates an inconsistent
frame of mind that Is more amusing
than surprising.

This certainly does not show that the
population is as nearly equal as posi-
BILE, as required by the constitution OF
the state, nor does II show that the Reg
ister's remark, above quoted, Is based
upon even a small amount of truth.
When some districts contain as much rs
double the population OF others, where
Is the justification for the Registers
Iclaim?
In another article in the same issue
the Register says that since the county
was redlstrlcted twenty years ago.
"there has been a great increase in pop
u~lation. but 1t has been very evenly dis
tributed." The figures above quoted do
not bear out this statement. They show
a difference, for instance, OF 700 votes be-
tween Washington and Madison dis
tricts; a difference between Clay and
Webster of 600; a difference between
Webster and Centre OF more than 1000.
Will the Register continue to claim that
the population has been very evenly
distributed"
Nor is II true, as our ~neighbor asserts,
that the districts are practically the
same In proportion nov as they were
twenty years ago. The In%telllgencer
quoted figures from the election returns
of 1875 to show the untruthfulnees Of this
statement when the Register advanced
1t some weeks ago. Every old citizen OF
Wheeling knows that there has been n
shifting OF the population OF the city. as
well as a big increase, in the past twenty
years. These changes are constantly 60
ing on, and II Is proper and right that in
equalldes thus created should be cor
rected.
in opposing the redistribution of the
county the Register produces no figures
whatever to bear out It's claim that In
equalities do not exist, but confines Its
arguments" to partisan harangues
against the board OF county commits
Nsioners, and a plea that an arrangement
of the districts TO comply with the law
will perhaps give the Republicans some
political advantages at coming elections.
OF course, In the Registers mind, this
would be a great evil, and II the county
happened to be In Democratic hands,
and the board would conceive II to be
proper to arrange the districts in com
pliance with the law, the Register
would counsel It's party not to do so, as It
might result In keeping the county In
Democratic control! We a all imagine
the Register d%cnouncing it's " party
for doing such a thing. even II the law
did obllgato It to do sol Away with
such Hypocrisy

HARRITY DECLARED OUT.
An Exciting Session of the Pennsyl-
vnnia Democratic Con-
ventiOn.

Reading, Pa, Aug. 30.-By vote Of
SO to 26 the state democratic commit
tee tonight adopted a resolution de-
claring vacant the seat Of William j.
Harrity of Philadelphia, in the nation
al democratic committee. The proceed
ings were exciting from start to finish,
and State Chairman Garman presid-
ed, except for a short time, when he
surrendered the chair to w. H. Brain
ton Of Lancaster, to speak upon the res
olution.
Immediately after the meeting was
called to order John B. Keene of West
moreland, offered a resolution that
vacancy has been created and now ex-
lists in the membership of the national
committee by reason of the voluntary
withdrawal from politics and from par
ticipation in the deliberations OF the
committee Of the late incumbent, Will
liam F. Harrity, and that Harrity not
being in accord with the principles of
the democratic party, James M. Guffey
Of Pittsburg, who so loyalty support
ed William ]. Bryan, be and is hereby
selected to fill the vacancy
MAGISTRATE Charles P. Donnelly of
Philadelphia denied the right Of the
state committee to create vacancy
in the national committee A warm de-
bate followed, and then Chairman Gar
man, at the request of Donnelly, read
the correspondence between himself
and Harrity, printed this morning.
Garman followed with long argu-
ment in favor of the resolution.
More heated argument followed, one
member suggesting the reference of the
question to William ]. Bryan. The vote
then followed with the result stated.

RROOkS NOT GUILTY OF ARSON.
Chief Charged With Hasty Action in
Causing His Arrest.

Rossland, B. c., Aug. 30.-There not
being sufficient evidence to CONVICT
Fred d. Brooks, charged with arson,
was today dismissed by Magistrate Jor-
dan. No new evidence was introduced
bv the prosecution, and the defense dld
not deem it necessary to submit any
evidence. Mr. Mcleod showed by the
prosecutions witnesses that Brooks
was in the habit of using the passage
way: that others had been seen crop
ing around the fire; and that the tact
Of Brooks going to his room was the
best evidence in the world that he dld
not commit the crime. Mr. Mcleod ad-
yanced the theory that the fire was OF
accidental origin. He defied any one to
stand where Barney Truckey slept ana
tell when a certain door opened or
shut. as there were dozen doors sur
rounding the place where he slept. He
further showed that the fire might have
been smouldering for hours before be-
ing discovered by Truckey. He showed
by witnesses that the employees had
been in the habit of throwing matches,
cigars and cigarette stumps on the floor
and believed carelessneSs on the part OF
some one caused the fire. He laughed
at the match theory, and thought the
chief hasty in arresting on such slight
information.

Captain of the Portland Laughs at
His Reported Treasure.

Port Angeles, Wash, Aug. 30.-Cap'
tain Kidston, in command of the steam
er Portland reports pleasant voyage
and explained the delay of three days
in reaching Port Angeles by stating that
a serious storm at st. Miciaels delayed
the discharge of his cargo He laughed
when told of the reports that the Port
land was carrying over 100000 gold.
As a matter of fact, he said, there was
only about $S25.000 in gold dust and
nuggets on board of his vessel. Up to
the time he left st. Michaels he had
heard of no newly discovered gold fields.
Among the Portland's passengers
from St. NIichaels is Timothy Bell, who
has with him $4,000 in gold, which he
dug from claim which cost $l25.
William Ogilvie, dominion surveyor
saws the 600 claims now staked out will
Weld $6O,OOO,0OO. From number of the
Portlands crew it was learned that
CAPTAIN Kidston had expected the
Weare, one of the companys boats, to
come down the Yukon with about a
million dollars worth of nuggets and
gold dust, but as she did not arrive III
time, he decided to bring down the
treasure next trip. The United States
cutter Bear, it is said. will 60 with the
Portland on her next trip from st. Mi
chaels to Seattle. As most of the MN
ers will make their cleanup by that
time, it is expected that the Portland S
cargo will be a valuable one.

HURRICANE SWEPT THE COAST.
Lives Were Lost and Fears Are En-
tertained for Shipping.

Denver, Aug. 3o.-A special to the
News from Nogales, Ariz., says:
''Advices from Guaymas state that
Il severe hurricane visited the gulf of
California and the lower Mexico coast
on the 23d instant, and that informa-
ton of damage done is beginning to ar
rive at that port. Three lives are re
ported lost and great damage done to
crops.
"The steamer Carmen Is supposed to
have left Agrabampo for the south just
as the hurricane was coming and fears
for her safety are entertained. The
storm has prostrated the wires all
along the coast and no particulars can
be gathered. The schooners Salvatlerra,
Rambler and Penelope, which sailed
from Guavmas on the 18th, were
caught in hurricane, and on the Goth
the Salvatierra and Penelope returned to
Guavmas in distress. Nothing has been
seen OF heard of the Rambler, and it is
feared she is lost"

LOANS ON IDAHO REAL ESTATE.
Parties Using Interest Coupons
Charged With Usury.

Moscow, Idaho, Aug. 3l.-The filing
of the suit of Latah County VS.. Thomas
Ewes ct al. by District Attorney Nc
Nance has created CONSERVATION
among the loan companies doing busi-
ness in this state, as upon the result
of this case will hinge the fate of every
mortgage company doing business in
Latah county with the single exception
Of the Northwestern and Pacific Hypo-
theek bank, which does not use interest
coupons. The case just filed is in real
ity against the well known wheat, in
surance and loan firm of Balfour, Guth-
rie & Co. Of Portland
This firm loaned Thomas Ewes and
wife $4,000, taking as security mort
gage on land in Latah county. The mort
gage bore interest payable semi-annual-
ly, and, in addition to the note for the
principal, Ewes and wife signed 10 cou
pom notes, each for the interest for a
period of six months. These coupons
bore no interest if paid when due, but
if not so paid bore II per cent per an
mum from maturity, making compound
interest, which the supreme court de
cded, in the case Of the Vermont Loan
and Trust Company VS.. Hoffman, is
usury. Under the law of 1897 the pen
atty for usury provides that the mort
gagee shall forfeit to the school fund OF
the state 10 per cent per annum OF the
principal for each year carried by these
interest coupons. In this case the mort
gage ran for five years, which makes the
amount to be foreited so per cent of
the original loan, Or $3.50, the amount
sued for by District Attorney McNa-
mee Upon failure Of Ewes 70 pay these
interest coupons, Balfour, Guthrie q
Co. brought suit for foreclosure, Sc
cured judgment, had the land sold and
bid it in, subsequently getting sher-
ifs deed They have farmed the land
and harvested the crops from it.

BROUGHT DOWN GOLD
OVERDUE STEAMER PORTLAND
TOUCHES AT PORT ANGELES.
Down $500 900 in Gold Mug
gets and Dust From klondike
No Pirates.

Seattle, Wash. Aug. 30.-Manager
Charles H. Hamilton of the North
American Transportation and Trading
Company, which has the steamer Port
land under charter, reported Saturday
night that his company has at least
s75OO0O on board in gold dust and mug
gets that have been gathered in the com
panys store at Dawson City, st. Mich
aels and other points on the river.
The information was withheld until the
report of the steamship passing Iatoosh
island light had been confirmed, owing
to the scare head stories that have been
circulated relative to the attempt that
would be made by pirates to loot the
treasure ship. The Post-lntelligencer
Alaskan news syndicate's tug is expected
to arrive in Seattle today, and the report
comes from Port Angeles that the Port
land brought miners and gold.
