which is farther than many care to go:
but, although the road after il turns
from the river is the ordinary sandy
Maryland turnpike, one is more than
repaid for the tug up the continuous
hills by the grandeur of the falls. And.
strange as it may seem, many Wash
ingtonians have never seen the majestic
view at Great falls, although il lies in
all its beauty so near the city, but they
have journeyed thousands of miles and
raved over the falls of Schaffhausen on
the Rhine, never dreaming of the more
glorious gift of nature at their very
doors at home.
The Cuban fete champetre at Belmont
recently was most unique affair. The
grounds were magnificently Illuminated
and decorated with flags of all nations
among which the new banner of Cuba
was given the place of honor beside Old
Glory. Among the old trees on the
sloping lawn were pitched innumerable
booths, and picturesque Japanese UNI
brellas and swinging lanterns, with the
multitude Of electric lights, made a
scene of rare beauty. Hidden behind a
bank of flowers the Columbia theater
orchestra rendered choice selections.

The Oregon senatorial complication Is
still tangled, but there are grounds for
the belief that it will be in some way
unravelle3 Senator Mitchell has recent
iy told his followers, in effect, that II
they can see their way clear TO choose a
Republican Senator other than himself,
that they must not for moment permit
the fact of his nomination or candidacy
to stand in the way. This has the right
ring. In Oregon, the Legislature can
draw pay for only forty days and this
period has already expired. 1t can sit
longer, but only at the individual ex-
pense of the mem bers. In the House
consisting of sixty members, twenty
seven have been decided recalcitrant,
and one corner in the senatorial middle
has been turned by declaring their seats
vacant. This still leaves quorum or
the total membership of the Legislature
and it is hoped ia way will soon be pre-
pared for the election of Senator Mitchell
or somebody else.

In view of the rapid development Of the

THE MAYoRALTx CANDIDATES.

Portland lis normally "a Republican
city BY number Of hundred majority
Hence II there bs any expectation among
his friends of Mr.. Winsolw's election it
| must be based upon the expectation that
he will receive Republican votes Is
there any reason why Republicans should
vote..f him in preference to the regular
Republican candidate Mr.. Randall?
| They are both business men, and each
has successfully carried on his particu-
| lar. kind of business. Both have long
been residents of Portland and the inter-
ests of both are closely identified with
the interests of the city. Both are Imen
of good character. Both have had ex-
per Renee in the city government. In these
respects let it be assumed that they
stand on an equal footing that they are
both equally honest, equally capable ami
equally experienced, though in the mat
ter of experience it would be easy TO
show that Mr. Randall has the sadvant-
age. Certainly there Is no reason why a
Republican should desert his candidate
for one no more capable and no more
honest and who will bring no greater, If
SO great, knowledge of public affairs,
to the Office to which he aspires. Where
in then does the reason consist for Re-
publican's voting for Mr.. Winslow, for
we assume that Republicans in SO i'm
portant a matter as that of the selection
of q or ief magistrate, are to be controlled
by reason and not by mere caprice DO the
Republicans desire to show their appre-
citation of Mr.. Winslow's political con-
duct last fall in refusing to stand as the
candidate of the Democracy for governor
bv voting for him for Mayor Is
it his firm allegiance to principle at that
time that makes some of them anxious
to com pliment him with their snffragesf
A few days ago there appeared to be some
littls excuse for voting for him on these
grounds, but that disappeared completely
wheE tbs Portland silver organ diyulged
the fact that his allegiance to principle
was not firm enough to keep him from
supporting all the regular candidates Of
the Democracy. 1t can hardly be posi-
BILE that any Republican will deem it q
good reason for voting for Mr.. Winslow
that while Incorporating as gold man
hs voted the silver ticket.
What reason then can any Republican
give for DESERVING his own candidate and
voting for Mr. Winslow?
But while it is apparently impossible
to discover any good reason why a Re-
publican should prefer Mr.. Winslow. to
Mr.. Randall, reasons why he should not
are sabundant. Mr.. Winslow shonld not
be voted for by Republicans because
he is the candidate of the Democratic
party, and will be controlled by the
Democratic party II elected. Republicans
st ouId not vote for him because he is
part and parcel Of party which has
shown itself to be under the contr.l of
the worst elements, whioh is unprogros-
sive. which has always made mess of
municipal affairs when 1t has had the
power in its hands and which the peo-
ole have always been anxious to get rid
of after one years experience.
