OLD METHODS. SuPERsEDED.-The
old and presumably well-established
publishing house of the Harper Broth.
ers, New York, has gone into the hands
oil receiver, with liabilities amount
ing to over five millions of dollars, and
1t is claimed with unconvertible assets
worth more than enough to pay all
claims. The cause of the failure is at.
tributed to the conservative methods
OF this ancient firm. Many new rival
flooded the markets. and
sold for one-third, or less, than the
price OF the Harper publications, and
this slowly but surely reduced the rev.
enue of the old-time firm, without de.
creasing their expenses. The result
was inevitable. Modern methods have
supplanted the old and one of the old
est and at one time strongest publisb.
Ing house in the world, has been
driven to the wall.

The Prediction Verified.

hen Russell Sage, the New York
millionaire banker and broker. admits
that the late offer of the United States
treasury to purchase $2J,000,000 of
fond, was to relieve stringeney in
tn" money market and that it has
saved the country from a distressing
panic, he has only verified the forecast
made 10y bimetallists three years ago,
who predicted the crippled results OF Il
one-legged currency, the inevitable
consequence of contracted volume of
redemption money. When Mr. Gage
anticipated the payment Of October
interest and afterwards paid the bond
interest to the close of the year, he
only adopted an expedient to save the
finances of the country from tate
that was foretold by the advocates of a
reasonably wide and flexible volume
OF currency, that would adapt itself to
the varying conditions OF demand and
supply. 1t must be admitted by all
who possess n normal brain-power that
there is something radically wrong in
a moneyed system which demands 50
much parental solicitudc from the au-
thor OF its vitality and the medium OF
its strength. 1t is an object-lesson
which the sophistry of the moneyed
kings cannot overcome, and Il lesson
in finance which he who runs NAV
read.
Our country with her wonderful re.
sources should be absolutely free from
money panics, eliminating at times in
financial commissions. She should
have something more to depend upon
for prosperity than short crops in
Russia and starvation in India. She
should have a currency that cannot be
cornered by money sharks, or manipu.
lated by stock gamblers so as to alb
sorb the earnings OF labor and literally
reduce to the condition of serfs the
poor man and his family.
How the man who is dependent
upon his own labor for livelihood
can play into the hands of party that
has so plainly sold itself, body and
soul, to the cormorants of finance, the
greedy, mercenary crew who use him
as a tool and sneer at his servility
while they flatter his vanity by smooth
words and patronizing demeanor, is
beyond human comprehension to un-
derstand. He should be as much Oh.
posed to their Vaccinations as the
salary drawer is to make them more
sure and more firmly engrafted upon
our governmental system. There is a
wall of adamant between the two
classes, which is, each succeeding year
becoming higher and broader. Unless
the issue is fairly and squarely met,
those within will soon be able to pro-
scribe those without, and from their
vantage ground defy, as they now
evade, the will of the majority.

Royalty in Distress.

"Prince" Alvani, smooth /" Jeremy
Diddler," after working Seattle, came
to this city few days ago, and imme-
diately began his exploits in pastures
new. He claims to be q Hindoo
prince; awaiting a remittance" you
know; and in the meantime is short
of funds, and will you kindly loan
him few dollars till it comes, etc.
In Seattle he found, from all accounts,
pastures green, and the jewellers sold
him even diamonds on credit He
obtained ticket across the continent
and ocean worth several hundred dol
lars, on spurious check, and although
it came back endorsed "Do not know
such person." no arrest was made. He
"got into" Seattle people. right and
left, but admiration for the hauteur of
the "noble BORN" or for some other
cause, he was allowed to depart in
peace. The fame-or rather infamy
of the prince preceded him, and he
was unable, so far as has been ascer.
tanned, to bunco any of our people.
1t is said that he visited all the minis
tiers and many of the teachers of this
city, and from each asked loan, un.

proposition which from its indefinite.
ness could hardly come under the
charge of obtaining money under
false pretenses had his requests been
acceded to and granted. Like old
father Adam, he lays all his misfor-
tunes to woman. "The ladies, they
have deception me-" is the subject of
his plant whenever an explanation OF
his misfortunes is made. 1t is seldom
that real Don Juan boasts of his

of humanity, and he is in this doubt.

REPRESENTATIVE Cushman, of this
State, threatens to desert the Presi-
dental policy and leave Mark and his
man Friday to paddle their own ca
noe, unless his efforts met with better
recognition in the future than they
have in the past. As most of his ex.
ertion has been directed towards MAX
ing political capital for himself, it
matters very little to the people wheth-
er he is successful or not, and that is
probably the view taken by the Ad-
ministration, for we have not heard of
any radical change in the far-away ex-
preston of the Presidential eye when
it rests on the "Abe Lincoln of Wash.
ington."

The WalIa Walla Statesman says
that another Republican paper is to
be started in that city, to enable a
rival faction of the party a full and
free expression of its views, not so
much in arraignment of the opposi-
ton as to show up the shortcomings
OF friends. The party leaders in
Walla Walla are literally at swords
points with each other and there prom
ises to be a slaughter and drag out be-
fore another campaign is over.

SILVER REPUBLICANS FIRM.-At a
meeting OF the Silver Republican Ex-
ecutive committee, held in Chicago,
Tuesday, it was resolved to favor the
holding of the National Convention of
1900 simultaneously with that of the
Democrats and the endorsement by
the silver Republicans of the nominee
OF that convention, provided the silver
plank of 1896 is reaffirmed. The
nomination of Bryan was generally
favored. Chairman Towne saws the
issues favored will be practically the
same as in 1896.

DECADENCE OF A ONCE THRIVING
CITY.-It is said that The Dalles, at
one time far in the lead of Oregon
cities, has by the change of transpor-
tation routes been reduced to the con.
dition of a hamlet, and the end is not
yet attained in her decadence. Time
was when the trade of the vast terri.
tory now comprised in Idaho, Mon
tana and Eastern Washington, was
controlled by the business men of The
Dalles, and it was no uncommon
thing to meet on the streets of that
growing city merchants from many
interior towns, purchasing their sup
plies. The palmy days of The Dalles
were during the Salmon river gold ex-
element, when the army of prospec-
tors and adventures at times domi-
ciled at The Dalles, numbered 5000 or
10000. Her merchants ranked among
the wealthlest and most enterprising
business men of the coast. It was
here that Schwabacher & Co., Bloch,
Miller d Co., and other firms, con.
trolled annual trade amounting to
millions OF dollars with interior deal
ers, many OF which were branch estab-
llshments OF their own business. The
Dalles was likewise an important fac
tor in the political life of Oregon, and
oftentimes her position gave her the
balance OF power in determining re-
suits. But her glory has departed
never to return, except it be by one
OF these incomprehensible trends
which sometimes at rare intervals
disturbs natural sequence.

A TERRIBLE VoYAGE.-The trans
port Manauense, with three companies
OF the 3lst Infantry, under Lieut.. Col.
Webb, arrived at Manila Monday, in a
sinking condition. The officers and
soldiers were compelled for twelve
days to bail water with buckets, to
keep the vessel from sinking. They
claim that the craft was unseaworthy,
undermined and short of provisions.
Her engines broke down, and for
three days she rolled about unman-
ageable in typhoon. The same day
the leak was discovered, the machin-
cry collapsed and the electric lighting
plant and the distilling apparatus
failed to work, and the ship was in
darkness and ON a short allowance of
water. During the last week of the
voyage the ship was in utter darkness
at night, still the work of bailing and
management Of the vessel, so far as
was possible, had to so on incessantly.
Her captain declared that had the SOL
diers known the imminent danger, the
vessel would have surely been lost, for
skilled seamen would have taken to
the boats or RATS. The Manauense is
chartered British ship, and had passed
a favorable inspection at San Francisco
before the voyage began. She sailed
from that port Oct. 2Sth.

A HALT CALLED.-In double
loaded editorial the Ore9onian pro-
tests against the side-tracking of
Walla Walla by the o. r. N. Co., in
order to accommodate its owf, bust.
ness, without single thought Of the
welfare of its Western feeders. The
schedule, as now arranged solely to
accommodate Eastern connections,
makes trains arrive at and depart
from Walla Walla at midnight. That
influential journal demands-and the
demand is backed by the business
men of Portland-that proper connec.
tion be given Portland with her tribu-
tary trade. A meeting of the citizens
of Walla Walla has been held to voice
the sentiment of her people, and it
seems probable that the corporation
has ran up against snag which will
punch the business life out of it un.
less attention is paid to the demand.
In union there is strength, and in
this instance there is a prospect of its
being effective.

A TRIAL OF the Holland submarine
torpedo boat in New York harbor, by
a naval board appointed to investigate
its merits, ON the 9th ult., resulted in
vindication OF all the claims of its
inventor and builder. Chief Engineer
John Lowe, U. S. n, who was spec
tally ordered to observe and report the
official trial, says: report my BELIEF,
after full examination, that the 'Hol-
land is successful and veritable SUBJ
marine torpedo boat, capable OF max
ing successful attack upon the
enemy unseen and without detection !;
that, therefore, she is an engine of
warfare of terrible potency, which the
government must necessarily adopt in
its service" He recommends further
that the government at once secure
all rights of the inventor and estab-
lish submarine torpedo-boat station.
The capabilities of the Holland might
have been demonstrated by practical
service, had the proffer been accepted
of entering Santiago harbor and de-
stroying the Spanish warships under
Cervera; but, then, the conserva-
tism," il the war Office stood in the
way of efficient service that was not
filtered through means OF official sug-
gestion.

Loss of Army Horses.

The u. :. transport Victoria sailed
from Seattle about midnight on
Thursday of last week, with 404
horses and mules for army service in
the Philippines. After passing Cape
Flattcry Thursday noon, the vessel
encountered a storm Of unparalleled
severity, which continued till Sunday
morning, when it was determined to
return to Puget Sound from a point
$50 miles out. During the violent
rolling OF the vessel, many of the ami
mails were manned and others killed.
The animals that were not wounded
suffered terribly from exposure. The
Victoria arrived at the entrance of the
Sound Monday at p. NJ. The ami
mails that were alive were disembarked
ut Seattle Tuesday. Over 100 ami
mails were lost and not a sound one
was returned. Many fell PROSTATE on
reaching the dock. The Victoria was
at times at the mercy OF the sea, it be-
ing impossible to guide or direct her
and the heavy breakers washed her
fore and aft. The loss of a cargo OF
animals, by the transport Siam which
sailed from San Francisco on August
18th, is likewise reported with all its
narrowing details. OF the 400 horses
shipped by that vessel less than fifty
arrived in good condition at, Manila.
During terrific typhoon that pre-
vailed the latter part OF September,
while the steamer was between the
Ladrones and the Philippines, the
horses broke from their stalls and
dashed about in frenzy. Sea after sea
burst over the steamer, throwing the
horses about, killing some, manning
Others, and the big timbers from the
stables broke loose and were thrown
with terrific force against the suffer-
ing animals. Dead horses were piled
in heaps, and against them their liv-
ing companions were thrown and in
jured. This experience demonstrates
the danger by either route to the
Philippines when the elements are
turned loose.

Is it not one of the saddest things in
human experience, when human love

In many a ffe parents fail to know
children and children know parents,
not because Of lack of love on either

The Christlike life is to have your

God help us all to see this character

and womanhood do what We can to
share his loneliness, for be it lonely
when we fail to see His sacrifice for US

That though we be encircled by a host

To every one of us there m a time
of loneliness,
Our dearest friend is stranger to our

And cannot understand our bitterness.
There is no one who understands,
In every heart he wishes to be first
The man of sorrows understands it

You cannot come to often or too near,
For those who walk with Christ from

AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.

Rev. H. Warren Nice Of Baptist
church took as the subject for his
Christmas sermon, "The Loneliness Of
Christ" and began by saying this
seems like a very inappropriate SUBJ
ject for Christmas eve, when every
body thinks Of the ringing Of bells and
Joy on tomorrow, but my thoughts have
compelled me to preach upon this
subject because of several incidents the
past two weeks.
So many people in Laramie are
thinking of Christmas Joys, planning
for home gatherings and all the other
accompanying festivities, but eve a
thought for the Christ, who lived and
died that we might enjoy the blessings
of Christmas day. If l were to select
any special text 1T would be Matthew
14:23, but many other texts in the Cos
pels refer to the same in Christ's life:
when evening was come he was there
alone"
The very suggestiveness Of the word
alone will convey to our mind some
faint idea Of the Savior's life, but still
we need to look deeper into his mis-
sion to understand the solitary life he
led upon earth for us.
Many a person tomorrow will under
stand somewhat Of Jesus loneliness
when they think of their own life, for
| Christmas ~actuates sorrow when the
heart is sorrowful. II there is an empty
chair 1t seems much emptier then than
before. II we have been carrying a
burden 1t seems heavier IN Christmas
day than ever before. Tears seem to
rush to the eyes and ome SO easily on
that day of all days in the year. The
anguish which nils some hearts on
Christmas morning is known to God
alone.
Human nature has a dread Of soil
tude and always seeks companionship.
