The Advocate editor is still chewing
the rag" over the results of the election
and trying to explain how it was done.
The fact that he realizes he contributed
so materially to his own party's defeat
OH the county ticket makes him think
so little of himself that he seems de-
sirous OF degrading his competitors. So
he continues to argue with himself
that the editor of the REPUBLICAN is
hypOcritical anyway. Of course if he
could get that well established it would
atone in his disturbed mind for the
crushing defeat which his party sus.
tanned OH the county ticket and which
seems personal to himself. We should
think that the sooner he quit drawing
public attention to his particular woes
that the better he would feel. Concern
ing his reiterated charges against us
that we published news telegram
election day that was untrue and only
for political effect we have only to re
peat that he or any one is welcome to
examine the telegram which is in our
office. He could easily satisfy himself
of its truthfulness if he desired to do
so, but he seems to prefer not to inform
himself in the matter. 1t perhaps
hasn't occurred to him that if we had
been going to publish fake telegram
for political effect that we would not
have waited till almost time to close
the polls on election day.

Some of our democratic exchanges
are greatly exercised lest republicans
will not be consistent in their treat
ment of the Philippines and own past
protection history. Democrats need
not worry over republican consistency
OF lack Of it. The party is working for
certain results, and that it is able to
secure most of them is greater recon-
mendation than if it met favor in the
eyes of its opponents.

An exchange says that alcohol will
remove grass stains from summer
clothes. The exchange is right. 1t will
also remove the summer clothes, also
the spring, autumn and winter clothes
not only from the one who drinks it
but from his wife and family. 1t will
remove the household furniture from
the house, the eatables from the pantry
and the smiles from the face of his
wife and the happiness from the home.
AS a remover of things alcohol has
no equal.

What the SchoOlmaster Saw.

Let me take the children who read
the REPUBLICAN on journey westward.
Get your maps and away we go. Cross
the Missouri at Omaha and, as you re-
cline in the easy chairs of the U. Z.
cars, move rapidly on till you reach
Marshall, the summit Of the Rockies, as
crossed by this railway. Here, at an ell
ovation of $3.50 feet, a monument is erec-
ted to Oliver Cakes Ames. A blizzard
is raging, and the rocks look cold and
comfortless. Passing down the wertern
slope, the snow disappears and you are
viewing southern Wyoming. Sage
brush begins to appear. At Granger we
will journey on the Oregon Short Line.
Now we are in south eastern Idaho.
Here we see a scene of desolation
hard to describe. Alkali dust, sage
brush, brown and dead, covers the
country, low places, where water has
sometime stood,-now dry. Mountain
ranges are in sight around you, but
where you are the plain is partly cover
ed with rocks of all forms and shapes,
yet all present the appearance of volcan-
ic origin, in fact, the country seems to
be vast, burned-out volcanic crater.
We must not stay here. Look now as
you approach Boise City. See that line
of houses stretched along for miles
There are fields, orchards, meadows, do
nestle animals of all kinds, in fact, we
are in civilization again, though sur
rounded by sage brush. Here we saw
some as fine fruit as we ever saw or tast-
ed. What causes this change? you ask.
See that ditch, like canal? That is an
irrigation ditch, and the magic touch OF
water causes the "desert to blossom as
the rose" This water comes from
mountain stream, and whenever water is
to be had the land becomes productive.
On looking at our watches, we find that
we are too fast. At Granger we should
have moved our watches back one hour.
Having made our time all right now and
gaining one hour, on we sped.
Take a good look at Snake or Shes
hone river, as we shall soon leave it. 1t
is much larger and more crooked than
you thought. Here you are near Hunt
ington, Oregon. Great towering noun
tains on each side, the river compressed
into narrow limits, on rushing in its
mad career. You are lost in amazement
and startled by the ever-changing seem
cry. Here we leave the Snake in all its
writhing and twisting glory, and follow
the Powder river past Baker City, one
of the richest mining camps in Oregon.
Those electric lights at the mouths OF
the mines show you work is going on
day and night. On we go. At Pendle-
ton we must put our watches back an
hour again. We soon reach the Column
bia, which will tell about at some flu
ture time. Come, we will now place our
selves on the peninsula between the Co
lumbia and the willamette, just north OF
Portland. Stand near the Methodist
University and look around you. Stop
now, and examine your maps, especial
ly those grand mountain peaks, as you
will see grander sights than ever viewed
before, OF which will tell you in my next,
il you read this. Also study Portland.

PENSION ATTORNEYS VERSATILE
ITY

Even so valiant a soldier as was
Gen. Herschel V. Boynton cannot
escape the obloquy poured out on ev-
cry one who dares to question the wis
dom or justice Of our pension system.
and we doubt not that the old soldier
of the Blue Earth City Post is firmly
convinced that Boynton was always
nothing but a copperhead in disguise
The general however, continues his
exposures that show the need of purg-
ing the rolls, regardless Of the clamor
imbued with the absurd notion that
the lists should be a roll of honor
marking the recipient of the nations
bounty as the iron cross Of France at
tests valorous service, and imagining
he is defending soldierly honor in so
doing. Queer how these old fogy ideas
survive in the commercialism of the
day that regards public treasures as
contraband of war to be promptly con-
fiscated by any one lucky enough to
get the chance.
Recently Washington advices told
how the old soldiers were getting on
their ear" over the suggestion that
there was anything questionable in
either the system or the methods by
which pensions were obtained They
were going to gather the figures to show
how much others were getting out of
the public fisc; the other jobs that
transferred money from the treasury
to private pockets. A great showing
they might make, to be sure, and we
cordially hope they will make it. But
they will not; that is, the old soldiers
will not. The threat is not theirs, but
their proxies, the pension attorneys
whom the commissioner Of pensions
has recently denounced as the seducers
of the old soldiers, the organizers of
raids upon congress and the treasury.
who have waxed SO fat and con-
fident that they now announce that
they will fight the commissioner and
compel the president to remove him.
Boynton evidently agrees with the
commissioner. In one of his letters to
the Sun he. gives an illustration of
their pertinacity and intimate acquain-
lance with all the ills that flesh is heir
to and their ability to convince the ap-
plicant that he has them ALL

SODINI AND EDELSTEIN.
Olympic PrOprietors Are Indicted by
the Grand Jury.

The grand jury returned two indictments
yesterday against ]. c. Sodini, the proprietor
of the Olympic theater. One charges him
with keeping a dtsorderly house, and the
other accuses him Of selling intoxicating
liquors. Mr. Sodini is indicted jointly with
Bernard Edelstein, in whose name the liquor
license was issued, 80
Mr.. Sodini and Mr.. Edelstein did not wait
for the sheriff's deputies to formally arrest
them. Hearing that there were two "sec-
ret' indictments returned, they guessed at
the truth and voluntarily appeared in Judge
Willis court at p. m.
On motion Of p, J.. Darragh, the arraign-
ment Of Messrs Sodini, and Edelstein was de-
ferred until Friday. The court fixed the bail
in each case at $500. Anton Miesen and
Charles Kartak were accepted az sureties.
The indictment charging Sodini and Edei-
stein with selling liquor without a license al
leges that Jan. Is, 1893, Sodni and Edel-
stein sold a quart of beer to Frank Peterson
without having a license to retail intoxicat-
ing liquors.
1t is understood that the prosecution will
contend that Edelstein can sell liquors only
in the saloon proper, whereas the defendants
will claim that the license includes the entire
ground floor back of the saloon, which takes
in the auditorium of the theater.
The grand jury also returned indictments
against Fred Stephans for alleged theft of a
bicycle from A. Kivovich, and H. l.. Spence
who is charged with forgery in the second
degree. tl .u
No bills were returned against Thomas
Peck Charles Connors and Al Slaytor who

Curious Story of How He Won the

for their shipment at the railway station he
was introduced to the young lady who after
ward became his wife, and iocuIarly invited
her to become his cook; 5She replied that she
would be very glad to do so. The next winter
Mrs. Kearon sold Mr.. Kenna ticket in an
other fair given by the same church. This
time the prize was plain gold ring, and
again he was successful. He put the ring
carefully away until it was needed at his
wedding few months later. and it so hap
pened that his bride was the first person to
use the cook stove. Mrs. Kenna is now post
