NEW YORK AND OREGON.

The expected happened in the
greater New York election.
Tamany won easily against a
divided opposition. VanWyck's
victory is due as much to Platt
as@to Crocker, but Platt has per-
haps over-reached himself. He
has delivered New York City to
Tammany, but Tammany may
not, when the times comes, turn
the legislature over to Platt.
Platt regards party simply as a
means to his personal ends.
Country to him, is only field
for spoils. Platt is a boss.
Oregon has its Platt. The re-
publican party in this state has
been betrayed on more than one
occasion by a machine boss.
Once as chairman of the repub-
1ican state central committee he
fraudently distributed election
ticket, headed REPUBLICAN tick
ct" with the name of the demo
cratic candidate for supreme
Judge substituted for the repub-
lican nominee. The democrat
was elected.
Twice this boss knitted the re-
publican candidate for governor,
electing Pennoyer both times.
In the last Portland city election
he caused the election of Pen
noyer for mayor. His candidate,
though claiming to be the regu-
lar republican nominee, as Tracy
claimed to be in New York, had
no show of wizning. Col. Beebe,
the candidate of decent republi-
canism in Portland, had as many
more votes, relatively, over
Cohen, as Low had over Tracy.
Simon elected Pennoyer, as Platt
has now elected VanWyck.
But Simon has over-reached
himself. The Oregonian smirks
or shrieks as he dictates, but he
has lost his hold even in Port
land. A traitor is bound to be
despised. Outside of the me-
tropolis the opposition to Simon
is practically unanimous. The
Oregonian may term this oppos-
ition 'Mitchellism," "Hirch-
ism," "Tongucisn," !" Mcbride
ism," "Ellisism,'' "Herman-
ism," "Fultonism, 81" Denny
ism," or what it will. The plain
everyday name for it is repuli-
canism.

REPUBLICAN losses in the eastern
elections are due to the party di-
visions that naturally follow a
party victory. Advocates of free
silver can draw little conf fort from
the democratic gains, made, in
most instances, by ignoring the
money question. The republican
party and the American people
demand the maintainence of the
gold standard.

squatting at his tent door and greasing

this juncture, appealing to his superior.
Close hesitated and made no immediate
reply. It was the sergeant who took
the responsibility:
It'll, tend to it, if you please, sir. The
wagons going up in ten minutes to
haul some grain. Be lively now, Fin
ney. Drop them shoes and start" And
Finney, conscious, possibly, of some
change in the military atmosphere,
gathered himself together and van
ished.
Meantime, in his anxiety about the
government property thus placed in
jeopardy, the captain seemed lost to all
thought of the newcomers comfort. It
was Sergt. Burns who came forward
with camp stoo! and prefer of further
hospitality.
IF the lieutenant can put up with
such rations, I'll send something from

though he thought it high time for that
official to suggest something better.
Lambert said he should be most CRATE
full if that could be done-and if there
were no objections; and he, too, looked
expectantly at the senior officer
II guess that's about the best we can
do" said Close, slowly. ''Tain't what
you've been accustomed to. but it's what
l always eat. Send us up something,
sergeant-enough for two; I'll take an

And in less than five minutes Lambert
and his new comrade were seated by a
little fire on which tin coffeepot was
Kissing, and with broad pine shelf

broad tin plates, were discussing a
smoking repast of pork and beans. to
the accompaniment of bread and strip
and creamless coffee. "Tt's the way

Lambert was too hungry not to rel

lncased In scarlet hose:
"A 1air OF little stubby boots,
With rather doubtful toes:
a little kilt. little coat
Cut as mother can
And 10! before us stands in state
The futures coming man."
HIS eyes. perchance. will read the stars,
And search their unknown ways;
ferchance the human heart and soul
Will open to their gaze:
.Perchance their keen and flashing glance
Will be q nations light
Those eyes that now are wistful bent
On some big fellows kite.
Those hands-those little. busy hands
So sticky. small and brown:
Those hands whose only mission seems
To pull all order down:
Who knows what hidden strength may be
Hidden in their clasp,
Though now tits but taffy stick
In sturdy hold they grasp?
~Ah, blessings on those little hands.
Whose work is yet undone,
And blessings on those little feet,
Whose race is yet unrun!
And blessings on the little brain
That has not learned to plan!
whate'er the future holds in store,
God bless the coming man.

three O'Clock came forth from his tent

three O'Clock came forth from his tent
buttoned to the throat in his handsome
~ fitting uniform, his forage-cap
cooked jauntily over his right eye, and
y pair of white gloves in his hand. A
soldier slouching across the open space
in front shifted to the opposite hand
the bucket he was carrying and saluted.
Close surveyed his trim subaltern with
out changing muscle of his face.
What do they charge you extra for
them buttons?" he finally inquired.
Lambert said he didn't know. They
were on the coat when it came from the
tailor's. Would the captain kindly di-
rect him to Mr.. Parmelee's and permit
him to go thither? The captain gravely
said he need not ask permission just to
leave camp-even the men didn't do
that-and gave him the needed instruc-
tions, winding up by saying: Got your
pistol?" Lambert answered that he
never carried one.
"You'll have to, here" said Close, cor
be out OF fashion entirely. I amt got
one to lend, but if you've a mind to pay
less than cost I've got one that will just
suit you, strap and holster complete"
In five minutes the trade was made, and
Lambert had only eleven dollars left
when he started to hunt up Mr.. Par
melee.
Close watched the erect figure of
the young fellow as he stepped briskly
away. So did the first sergeant. Mid
way across the open space between the
tents half a dozen of the men were
sGuatting, in the bright sunshine, pipes
III full blast, engaged in game of cards
that looked suspiciously like draw
poker, gray blanket being outspread
and little piles of white field beans
decorating its outer edge at different
points. Surrounding the players were
perhaps a dozen spectators, in various
costumes more or less soldie1ly. At
sight of Mr.. Lambert in his trim frock
coat some of the number faced half
towards him; some, as though en-
barrassed, began to edge away. The
gamblers calmly continued their game.
II the young officer had looked as
though he did not notice them, the
chances are that, though he passed
within ten feet of the group, no one
CT the party would, in proper and SOL
dierly style, have noticed him, but;Lam-
bert had seen enough "slouching" for
enc day, and his youthful soul was up
in arms.

the senior, warily, land whether you
care to throw away your money.
What'd you want to get? They will
skin the last cent out of you there at
Cohen's."
Il merely wanted some cheap truck
for camp, and some washstand fixings,'
Lambert answered, falling into the YER
nacular of his comrade with the ease OF
one just out of the national school,
where every known American dialect
can be things I can throw
away when we leave"
Close was silent q moment. II can let

They're just as good as anything you
can buy, and won't cost you near so
much" Then, after little hesitation:
''They amt mine to give. or I'd let you
have them for nothing"
Lambert had precious little money
left, even after drawing his November
pay in New Orleans; but he had big
mileage account to collect, for in those
days nothing was paid to the young
graduate in advance, even though he
had to find his way by the Isthmus to
the mouth of the Columbia. He thanked
his comrade, and by evening was put in
possession of an odd lot of camp furni-
ture, some items of which were in good
repair and others valuable only as relics
Of the war. A camp mattress and
some chairs bore the name of Tighe,
and the soldier who carried them in re-
marked to his chum: 'They didn't burn
everything after the lieutenant died,
after all, did they?" From which Lam
bert drew Inference that the property
in question had formerly belonged to
an officer of that name who succumbed
tn the epidemic of the previous year.
But the principal question remaining
unsolved was that of subsistence. War
ing and Pierce had told him that in all
probability he would find that Close
was living on soldier fare and had NO
''mcss arrangements" whatever. This,
as we have seen, proved to be the case
and Lambert inquired if there were no
possibility Of finding board. $
