A very able critical journal has this
about McKinley's ministers to foreign
countries:
The best that can be said for Mr..

Porter that he is a graceful speaker

and almost hysterical 1T times-the
last man in the world tO deal with

might indicate. General Woodford
IS frayed politician who look the

kicked from pillar TO post. Mr..
Draper is almost unknown, and will
be less than cipher at the Roman
court when IL becomes understood
that the secretary of the legation is
an ambassador on his own account.
accredited by his grace the Arch
bishop OF st. Paul to the papal court.

the Germans and Russians In China
should lead to complications with
Japan, we would be delightfully."-
represented in the storm center by
man whose knowledge Of diplomacy
ends when he has voted forty negroes
in National Convention. AS for
Mr.. Bryan, the new minister to China
he is an amiable young man, and
nothing further can he said in his
favor. He was a representative In
the Illinois legislature, and is friend
OF Congressman Hopkins, in whose
district he lives. He will hardly
shine in comparison with his prede-
cessor, Mr.. DENLY, OF with the Brit
ish envoy Sir Claude NJ. Macdonald
who, although not yet forty-hYe, has
earned distinction both as soldier
and diplomat. He left the army In
1857, and was appointed consul al

At the capitals of Europe it is be

The leading article of the December
number of Demorest's tells the story
OF "Christmas Chimes all over the
World" from the standpoint of hu-
man inteaest, and is illustrated with
eleven fine pictures.
The opinions of five well-known
New York clergymen on the ,authent-
icity and value Of the Newly Dis
coyered Sayings of Jesus" form
symposium of far-reaching interests
to the Christian world. Photographs
Of these clergymen are also given in
November Demorest's.
The material of the body of the
magazine is of varied and widespread
interest. Artists will be charmed
with the beautifully illustrated ac-
count of Millet's "Barbizor," admir-
ers of dramatic art will read with in
Cerest history of the success of Mr..

thusiastic wheelwoman will do well
to store her mind with the practical

"Care of the Wheel" etc, while the

The clerks report, made September
30, 1897, showed a warrant debt of
S31 1903 II ia Washington county.
Since that date warrants have been
issued in the sum of s9352 S5, round
numbers, making total sum of $40,-
$50 OF, says the IIillsboro Argus. Up
20 December warrants had been can
celled to the extent OF 1866 80, De-
ducting this amount from the S40,-

There was the usual complaint at
the way the primaries were conducted
In Salem, Saturday. The charge was
made that they were set up as usual
and that the states prevailed. There
eau be no improvement on direct
nomination by the people.
Next month there will be held Ia
New YORK meeting OF men inter
ested in presenting plan for the
government control OF the primaries.
IL has been objected that the primary
is itself discredIted aud ought TO be
abolished, aud that all nominations
ought 10 be made, as Mr.. Lows was,
by petition. IL would save publicity
and expense, and greatly simplify
matters. But the primary, or some
thing like IL, Is certain 10 be a feature
OF American politics for many years
TO come, In other words, candidates
will represent political parties, and
will be either chosen by tbs Iaajorlty
OF the voters OF the party or will be
handled by a boss. IL Is true that
good men and independent met do not
now attend primaries. but that j. be-
cause the boss dominates, aud opposl-
lion is useless. The end Ia accomplish
Is the enfranchisement OF the party,

Tee Legal Status of the Situation Clearly

Tee Legal Status of the Situation Clearly
Pointed Out.
following from the Washington
Post OF NoY. 20, is probably Mr.. Cor
belts view OF his own case and bis
prospects:
Uon. II. w. Corbett, Of Oregon, is
one Of the most prominent and in
fluential men on the Pacific coast, who
has been appointed TO the Senate to
ill vacancy caused by the expiration
of the term OF Hon. John NJ. Mitch
ell, returned tO Washington last night
after an absence OF several months,
and has taker quarters for the winter
at the Arlington. With him are Mrs.
Corbett aud young lady from Port
land, who has been Mrs. Corbett's
travelling companion during the sum
mer. Mr., Corbett has returned to
Washington to renew his campaign
fora seat in the Senate, and, to CON
clude from his conversation, he is very
confident of being seated.
he was appointed ir accordance
with the language of the constitution
which empowers the state executive
TO fill vacancy In the senate caused
by "death, resignation or otherwise" "
The legislature of Oregon failed to or
gInize, no communications we're re-
ceived from or sent TO the chief execu-
tive, no revenue bills passed; in
fact nothing was accomplished. After
a do nothing session Of several weeks
the legislature adjourned in dead
lock, and the governor, exercising his
prerogative, appointed Mr.. Corbett,
whom he deemed to be the most emf
nent citizen in the state.
Mr., Corbett was in Washington last
session pressinging his claim, but as
the tariff was pending it was thought
best that the case should go over un-
til the regular session, In the mean
time Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts,
a member Of the Committee on Priv.
ileges and Elections, was designated
as a subcommittee Of one to examine
into the merits of the case. This he
cid, and his reported to the full COM
mittee in favor of seating Mr.. Cor
bett. This committee, which will
hold a meeting the first week of con-
gress, will report the Corbett case
favorably to the senate, where the
right Of Mr.. Corbett to seat will be
determined. Party lines will net be
sharply drawn in this case, as at least |
two Republican senator's, and perhaps
three, will not vote for Mr.. Corbett.
1t is not because they have any
thing against him, but because they
voted against Hon. Lee Mantle who
was applying for a seat in the Senate
in '93, under conditions somewhat
similar. If they should now vote for
Mr. Corbett their attitude would
seem inconsistent with their former
policy, and it is this fact which will
keep them from Mr.. Corbett's support. |
However, the latter expects to more
than make up for the Republican de-
fection from Democratic ranks. Sev-
eral Democratic senators, who are
promptec solely by the law in the case
have announced their intention of
voting for the Oregon nan.

A novel attracting large and de-
served share OF attention is "The
story of au Untold Love-" published
by Houghtor, Mifllln & Co, Boston.
The facts Of the tale are about as fol.
lows: Maitland, with his father,
mother, and Maizie, leaves the United
States rather suddenly to live in Eu
rope. Both father and son are able
and studiOus men. After the elder
Maltland's death his widow re-mar-
ries almost Immediately, and Maizie
having returne to New York, Don
aid is left alone. He devotes all his
energies TO study aud research, and
appends to.his writings a name which
Il ID already, in his fathers lifetime,
been signed to mluy contributions TO
learned periodicals-Dr. Rudolph
Hartzman. Puny as a boy, Donald
develops into strong, biz man, who
trayels much in Africa, becoming as
brJnzed as All Egyptiat. He hears
nothing OF mother or sweetheart un-
I'll he Ietur.s to New YUIk, and ac-
:epts situation aS secretary 70 a
rich man named Whitley, who is am
oitious 10 run newspaper, and in
need of an editor. DR.. Hartmann
writes editorials aud articles, for
whicn his patron takes the credit.
Eventually learned book is pub
l.shed in the same manner, and at
tracts much favorable comment. Its
supposed author is nightly proud OF
the sensation his book is making, anG
applies for membership in the Phil
omathean Club, of which DR.. Hartz-
man is member. For some time
Whitley has been paying attention to
Maizie, whose heart is so won by the
sentiments expressed in the new book
that she consents to become his tiancee,
the catastrophe of her marriage TO
the impostor being, of course, averted.
At excellent character is Mr.. Blodg
EFT, New York ban ker, who be-
friends DR.. Hartman, and, though
ne permits himself to be bossed ig.
ANONYMOUSLY by his wife and daughter,
can assert himself very forciDly on
the right occasion. Whitley is a
type of the man who thinks that
money will buy anything, even a

One strong improbability occurs
In the story viz: that Mrs. Maitland
and Maizie never suspect the identity
of Donold Maitland aud DR.. Rudolph
Hartmann though one is his mother
and the other his sweetheart, and
they meet on many occasions. The
whole story hinges on this concealed
identity. The story is SO strong and
carries one along with it so rapidly,
that the pleasure of perusal is 10 no
way marred. Mr.. Ford has written
a tale that contains two or three
powerfully drawn characters, and that
enchains the readers attention from
its,first page to its last, and what
more can a story teller hope to do?.
