missed the whole of his staff and en-

malls as to their high moral character
and who all swore to have nothing tn

after few days it was found that the

the cafe several times in the busiest

Frozen Clothes.

The drying of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes, in the case Of del
icate fabrics, attended with tearing, be-
cause of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air. A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls OF
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact. weak brine.
Articles so rinsed will not suffer from

WASHINGTON'S SNUFF BOX

Sir Walter Besant, in a recent mum.
Der of the Queen, has the following par
agraph: I'm the year 1892 the gold
smiths of Edinburg presented the earl
of Buchan a silyer-mounted snuff box
made of the oak which sheltered Sir
William Wallace after his defeat at

Wise and Patriotic Action.

The opponents of the gold stand
ard and monopoly rule have just
taken wise and patriotic action in
Oregon. The Populists, silver Re-
publicans, and silver Democrats
have put up cooperative ticket,
representing the three elements and
on broad and patriotic platform,
upon which all can stand. 1t
means the election Of a Populist
Governor, the election of two sill
yer Congressman Zone a siver
Democrat and the other a sill
yer Republican, and the election
of Populist United States Sena-
tor.
There were three elements at
work trying to prevent this coop
GRAFTON. The goldbug Republi-
cans were of course doing every
thing in their power, by the use
of money and by attempting to
stir up bad feeling and prejudice
among the anti-monopolists, to pre-
vent this cooperation, which means
their certain defeat. They had
help in this effort. The Cleveland
gold Democrats helped them, and
certain so-called Populists who
style themselves mid-roaders help
ed them. In short, there was a
fusion" of these three peculiar
elements to try to prevent the

three elements that are tiohtinc

We clip the following from As
soclated Press dispatch report Of
the proceedings of the co.opera-
ting forces:
The platform demands the free
and unrestricted coinage of silver
and gold at the ratio of 16 to /.
without waiting for the consent Of
foreign nations; opposes govern
ment by injnnctions; attacks the
Supreme Court Of the United
States, and demands the initiative
and referendum.

the Popnlist convention twenty

Thus it will be seen that when
the above platform, every plank
Of which is Il strong and impor-
tapt principle Of the Peoples Par
ty, was adopted, that twenty So
called mid readers bolted the con-
ventlon and left the hall. Thus we
see that the mid-roaders arc play
ING the same game of the CIeve-
land gold Democrats. Of course
these twenty mid-roadcrs will do
like they have in other States.
They will 60 off and organize q

called mid-roaders; but we have
no patience with nor respect for
the real instigators of such course.
There are thousands upon thou
sands of honest middle -of-tho road
ers who will repudiate such action
and who will refuse to follow such
leadership.
The outlook is that the co-opera-
tive movement of the people will
win a triumphant victory in Ore
