MISTAKES OF M'KINLEY.
the Daily Republican.

From the Daily Republlcan.
Ex.President Cleveland can we'll COM
pare the state of trade and the condition
OF the workingmen now, with when he
sat in the Presidential chair. When
workshops, the anvil and the forge stood
silent, when the spinning machines
men walked the streets half clothed and
fed, looking in vain for work, with free
soup houses in all sections Of the CITY.
The present administration may have
made some mistakes, but happiness and
we'll filled purses have gone with the
mistakes. Cleveland and his party made
such mistakes that hundreds nearly
starved to death. We are inclined to
think the working people would rather
have four years OF prosperity under Nc
Kinley's mistakes than four years OF
misery under Cleveland or Bryan.

A COLD PLACE FOR BOLTERS
From the Evening Journal.

ENelIilS JuuIlhl
The convention must have been a dis
appointment to Mr. Addicks and his
lieutenants. The feeling of coldness and
discomfort must have weighed upon
them. They did not endorse President
much rather would have endorsed
Bryan. But they had to do it, because
they would have been abandoned by
their followers at once had they done
otherwise. In addition to this compul.
sion within the organization there was
the added selfish motive to make use OF
snch endorsement with President Nc
Kinley's friends in Philadelphia when
the National Convention assemblies there
on June 10. These things are understood,
and it is useless for Mr.. Addicks and his
bosom friends and immediate hangers-on
to attempt to practice such deception.

PRETTY BUT NOT TRUE,

From Every Evening
1t is truly and forcefully said by Mr..
Cleveland that "the Democratic party is
only formidable in it's own strength"
and that "its power to win victories has
always been found to depend upon a
sturdy and consistent adherence to it's
time-honored principles, which have
proved sufficient to meet every emer-
gency OF our national lfe." These
potent truths were amply demonstrated
in the campaign of 1876, of 1884 and of
1892. The result of departure from
these principles was most painfully ex-
empitied in the disastrous national cam
paign of four years ago.

DIGGING FOR GOLD COINS.
Large Excavation Made at Belmont
Grove by Dreamers of Wealth.

Smyrna, Del, April 19.-On Thursday
night last large hole, six or seven feet
deep and about as broad, was dug near
the creek in the far part of the grove in
the rear of Belmont Hall. 1t is not
known what this digging was for or by
whom, but the presumption is that it
was for money. Some one evidently
had revelation in dream that coin
was buried there. This makes three
times at least that money has been dug
for in this woods.
About twenty years ago an effort was
made, not far from the digging above
referred 10, and about three years ago
another attempt was made in the upper
part Of the grove. The diggers doubt
less learned in each case how tickle are
dreams.

OBITUARY.
W. w. LATHAM.

Mr. W. W. Latham, whose death oc-
CURED July 31st, at his late residence, 227
Cumberland street, was born at Gray,
Me, in 1889. and thus had reached the
allotted span of life when called home.
la this pleasant country town hs spent
the early years of his life until in 1850,
urged no doubt by the glowing accounts
of success awaiting him there, he emil
grated to the then far distant land Of
California Here he was eminently sue
cessful both in mining and in the groce-
ry business, but in 1867, owing to the i'll
ness Of his wife, returned East.
A year later he came to Portland,
where he soon after engaged in the
wholesale flour ana grocery business with
Mr.. Willard H. Woodbury., under the
firm name of Woodbury. & Latham. This
firm had a long and successful career, es-
tablishing for iUself splendid reputa-
ton for honesty and fair dealing. On
the death OF Mr., Woodbury. in Nov. 1888,
the firm was dissolved, and it's affairs
closed up.
In 1890 the firm of w. W. Latham &
Son was formed, and was continued for
several years when, the son having gone,
like his father before him, to California,
Mr. Latham connected himself with New
ems & Co. with whom he was associated
until his death, the immediate cause of
which was complication Of troubles
largely if not entirely due to serious in
juries received a few years since in
an accident on the Grand Trunk road.
Upright and honorable, he always had
the esteem and confidence of his business
associates. His actions were not governed
by the principle that Honesty is the
best policy but by a firm conviction of
right. The business career of but few
men will stand closer inspection than
his. In politics he was always a stanch
Republican, strongly advocating and
supporting the principles and policy OF
that party. He was not an aspirant for
office, but in 1877-78 was a member OF the
City Council during which time he
served the city with honor to himself
and to the satisfaction of the people
The church home of Mr.. Latham and
family was at the Second Parish, where
he was regular attendant, and OF which
he was liberal supporter.
BY his friends and neighbors he was
loved and respected, -those who knew
him best holding him in highest esteem.
He was of sunny and happy dispose
ton, and always had word of cheer and
encouragement for every one. But it is
in ones own home that ones character
istics are most prominent, and it was
here that the beauties of his characts 81
were most apparent. His home was his
chiefest joy and pleasure, and anything
he could do to a6d to the happiness of
his family was never left eundone. Here
he was most loved and Will be most
missed
Mr.. Latham was married Sept ember
nth, 1862, to Miss Sarah Evelyn Lawton,
who survives him. He also leaves three
children, John l., and Edwin NJ, OF
Los Angeles, Cal and Mary E., now
Mrs. W. o. Thompson, OF this city
The funeral services Will be held at his
late residence, Friday morning at eleven
0 clock. Interment in the family lot al

A POSTMASTER ARRESTED

Tuesday night Deputy United States
Marshal Hasty went to Jefferson and ar
rested Postmaster James III. Bond on a
warrant charging the embezzlenent of
1858. The deficit was discovered by a
postal inspector some time ago when
Bond confessed his guilt and made resti.
tuition of the shortage. He was brought
to Portland this morning and arraigned
before United States Commissioner
Bradley, waived examination and gave
81, 600 bail for his appearance before the
grand jury at the Bath district term in
September.
