BRYAN THE MAN

William J. Bryan is booked for
patriotic and not political speech at
Los Angeles on the 5th of next month.
And that's all right. But, really, it is
not so much the speech as the man
the people of Southern California are
interested in just at this time. They
want to see him. look at him, size
him up.-San Pedro American.
The people of Southern California will
be disappointed in neither the speech nor
the man. Mr.. Bryan has, by force OF
circumstances, and not because he has
forced himself into that position, been
constantly before the public ever since
July, year ago, and he has withstood
the test. He came out of the fiery furnace
of defeat unscathed, and greater man
than he was before the election. His
public utterances have been patriotic
judicious and logical; his record in both
public and private life is unclouded.
Sneering political opponents accuse
Mr.. Bryan of an overfoundness for air
ing his views. Did it never occur to
these carping critics that Mr. Bryan
talks because the people demand to
hear him? There is no other man be-
fore the public today whose utterances
have such weight whose presence is in
so great demand.

"THE WIDOW OF WINDSOR

London today will witness such
pageant as has probably never been sur
passed in the history of the world. Some
statistician has yet to figure out how
many million square miles John Bull Is
master Of, but from every corner of the
British dominions there will be repre-
sentatives today to do honor to the
estimable woman who has for three
score years nominally presided over
their destinies. If, however it were
John Bull whom the citizens of the
world were asked to regard with inter-
est today it would be a very different
matter from paying our respects to Vic
toria
Even the most loyal and prejudiced
Englishman, provided he is possessed
of modicum of common sense, does not
pretend that the modern monarchy OF
Great Britain is serious institution as
far as the policies of the empire are
concerned. 1t is only the irreproacha-
BILE virtue and manifest good sense, the
bravery with which the Widow of
Windsor has battled with more than
her share of SORROWS, that every
thoughtful person must and does ad-
mire. The influence that the queen has
exercised in the foreign policy of her
government has probably been infinites-
sinai, but the influence for good which
in an exalted position she has command
ed by the purity and nobility of her char
acter has been infinite. Were there a
less satisfactory figurehead-with all
due Difference to the personality of Vic
toria-it is doubtful if the progressive
spirit of Great Britain and her colonies
would have so long been content to pay
heavy taxes for the support of the ex
pensive institution and it's still more
extravagant concomitants.
For sixty years as maid and mother,
wife and widow, Victoria has won the
respect of the world, and it is for this
reason that every citizen of the world
today will think Of 1.-The widow of
Windsor" with reverence and affection.

census as the basis Of computation. fol
the years 1896 and 1897 is as follows:

The average annual rate of increase
from 1890 to 1896 was 16.0S5, while the in
crease for the past year has been at the
rate Of 16,426-a slight increase over
former years.
The increase in Los Angeles county has
been greater than hitherto and the in
crease in other counties has been less.
The total increase in population in
Southern California since 1S90-seven
years-has been 115,747. OF this increase
72,617 has been in Los Angeles county
and 43,130 in other counties.
The rate of increase in Southern Cal
ifornia is about 51s per cent per annum.
while the rate Of increase in Los Angeles
county is over 8 per cent per annum.
This is owing to the fact that Los An
geles city. where the rapid growth is
found, is rapidly becoming great busi-
ness center-the rate of increase of pop
ulation being over II per cent per annum.

COTTON AND SUGAR
The prevailing market quotations show

The prevailing market quotations show
these prices:
American sugar (stock), $1231a.
Cotton, .0S.
In 1873, when silver was at par, cotton
was worth about 19 cents pound.
Thus it may be said that while cotton
is IS per cent below par, sugar stock Is
231a per cent above par.
1t might be asserted that sugar is also
much cheaper than it was in 1878. Very
true; but while a protected trust is
now making millions of dollars every
year out Of sugar, the cotton grower is

The presence and operationsof Poker
Davis are giving Los Angeles great
deal Of unenviable notoriety, II one may
Judge from the comments of the state
press. If they were forced to leave the
city permanently and at once. the city
would rise considerably in the public
estimation and our visiting friends
would be much safer. A Minneapolis
paper says OF Omaha: Omaha justice
is doing great deal to redeem the repu-
tation of that city for lawlessness." The
operations of Davis are giving Los An
geles a reputation for lawlessness that
Los Angeles justice should quickly re-
pair. These things are noticed on the

In two instances it was charged that
the protestants had offered to refrain

To prove that the American has not

NAMES OF CHILDREN.
Custom Of Baptismal Christening and Odd
Results OF Mistakes.

hcSuAta ot mAsthkebs
Down to the early rt of the present
century it was usual to name a child
after the saint on whose day he hap
pened to be born. A writer TO Notes
and Queries in 1853 states that he had
recently baptized child by the name
of Benjamin Simon Jude. On his ex-
pressing some surprise at this some
what singular conjunction of names,
he was informed that the birth had
taken place on the festival Of IS.
Simon and Jude, and that II was al
ways considered very unluclxy to take
the day from a child.
The custom of naming children after
any particular saint has fallen into
general disuse, except in those coun-
tries where the population is composed
almost entirely of Roman Catholics
The giving of a name in baptism is
really no essential part OF the rite, but
is merely a custom derived apparently
from the Jews, and which through
long practice has become an important
element in the ceremony.
Many instances might be furnished
of children who have inadvertently re-
ceived wrong names. The registers in
Warminster church contain the follow-.
ing entries:
1880. January II, Charles, daughter
of John and Betty Haines. This child
ought to have been chriStened Char
lotte, but owing to a mistake of the
sponsors, it was wrong named
''1791, July 81, William, daughter Of
William and Sarah Weiddiclx. N. b.
1t was intended that this child, being
girl, should have been christened
Maria, but through mistake Of the
godfather it was named William"

Boys and Girls Aid Society.

Supt. Gardner, of the Boys & Girls
Aid Society, of Portland, is in town,
having brought up a little girl for Mrs.
Thorburn, of Kingsley, and will return
with six children. two girls and one
boy. the children of I. v. Rowland,
who went to the penitentiary recently
for selling land that was mortgaged.
Also three boys named Adkins, who
are voluntarily surrendered by their
mother to the society.
They have about II children placed
in homes, in this county, not counting
those adopted. The children are
placed with the following persons:
John Brookhouse, of Dufur; A. s.
Blowers, Hood River; Frank Carlton,
Hood River; h. Chittiden, The Dalles;
n. E. Driver, Wamic; W. W. Free

Kelly, Hood River; Jas. Kelly, Kings
ley; j. Stein, Tygh; Mrs. Thorborn,
Kingsley.
The Boys & Girls Aid Society has
taken large number of destitute and
abused children from this county at
different tines, and this saved the
county considerable expense, as well
as the public considerable annoyance.
And since the legislature failed to ap-
propriate anything for charitable in
stitutions, this society is the only one
that will accept children outside of
Multnomah county, but with them
there is no red tape, whateyer, they
only require to know that they are in
need, and they are looked after.
They have fine building, we'll ar.
ranged for the comfort of the chill
dren, until they can be placed in
homes, where they have ON hand from
25 to 40 little ones. 1t seems that, at
this time, they have a hard time to
exist. This county pays their SO per
month, and the uperintendent is
looking for voluntary subscriptions of
any amount. Mr.. Gardner makes his
headquarters at Blakely & Hous hton's
drug store, where he can be seen on
business either today or tomorrow.
