Ii Was Quiet and Painless.


Something was wrong in oregon
Thursday, or. as others might look ut
that state. The dispatches announced
yesterday that the Silver Republican
convention that was scheduled to meet
in Portland did not materialize. Only
few delegates were present. and the ma
neuverlng for fusion was left to Demo-
Gratis and Populists. A Silver Repub-
lican convention seems to have been
called, and 1t was supposed there were
enough people confessing allegiance to
that party to guarantee some sort of
meeting. but events proved that there
was a mistake in the calculations If
there were any Silver Republicans in
existence, they seem to have been W.T.
ing to be classed as absent or not vot-
ing. Evidently they did not have any
thing to say or anything to do: and, as
was eminently proper under the circum-
stances, they declared the convention
off.
This is not very inspiring for the fifth
wheel contingent which believes 1t
ought to remain on earth, even IL ii
cannot advance weighty reasons In sup
port of the granting Of that privilege.
1t is to be supposed that those who
believe that Silver Republcanism Is not
moribund would have had enough en-
ergy to go through the forms of party
meeting just for the looks OF the thing.
A party nurtured on principle as eter-
nal az the one which brought the Silver
Republicans into life should not have
permitted itself 10 become a mere mem-
cry without taking last gasp suffl-
cently interesting to draw a crowd. To
lie down and quit without a parting
word Is distressingly featureiess for an
organization that took up so much of
the road four years ago. To go down
to defeat with colors flying is not nee
essarily discredftable; but to collapse, to
uiSiutcsidt', W tNdl'oihec anu NdUlSn
utterly as the Silver Republicans did
In Oregon is awful. Bubbles have been
pricked heretofore. but never with quite
so complete ruin as this.
And yet 1t may have been just rs
we'll to let the final summons take the
form 1t did. What better shape could
have been given to the exit? There Is
nothing to the Silver Republican party,
and why should there have been any
thing TO its farewell convention? The
Is to issue, like Julius Caesar, Is dead:
and how would II profit the Republican
seceders who supported that issue TO In
sst that their party liveth when they
know that II doesn't except in imasi-
nation7 Knowing that as an indepep
dent organization 1t had no raison
d'etre, and that its existence was as
purposeless as its hopes were vain. what
could be more fitting than that Il should
quietly lie down and die without dis
turbing the passer-by? II had outlIved
its usefulness. Its work was done.
what course was there more proper
than to welcome the sine die dissolution
and allow the former zealots TO hustle
for new environments?

Prosperity

The one supreme test of prosperity is
the money in the bank. This is self
evident truth. If a mans family is well
clothed and fed and in a comfortable
home, and besides this he put money
in the bank, it must be admitted that he
is prosperous.
In the following unparalleled showing
of the increase in the number of deposits
from the dark days of the Democratic
Wilson bill regime in 1894 to the glorious
days of Mckinley prosperity, the most
marvellous of all is the increase in the
number of depositors and in the amount
of deposits in the savings banks of the
country. These banks particularly
the ones where the wage earners of the
country put their savings.

porous So say all his Gala nifty follow

newly betrothed lover commissioned
him to paint secluded nook in the
rocks on the shore, because there he
had declared his passion. The picture
was painted, but before 1t was done

"Of course, shall pay for that pic
ture as agreed. but my engagement Is
off, and, of course. it would be pain
fully suggestive to me. If you can sell
1t to somebody else will take another
picture, and be extremely obliged be-
