The housekeepcr of the Inner Tenn

SENT TO THE ASYLUM.
An Old MAN From A1sea Goes Insane-Fonr
Small Children.

Andrew Hansen, resident OF the
Alsea country, 64 years of age and whose
bent and unnourished frame suggests
Markham's "Man With the Hoe was
examined for insanity before Judge
Woodward Monday afternoon and com
mitted to the asylum. DIR, Altman was
the examining physician.
Hansen was aware that his mental
soundness was being tested and he
answered all of the doctors questions
shrewdly, and, apparently nationally.
He had threatened the life of his 16-year-
old son, but at the examination he pro-
tested that his relations with his son
were most amicable.. Deputy Dist. Atty
Bryson then by confiding suggestions
outwitted the old man and Hansen was
soon declaring his desire to see his son
in the peniteutiary and signed eagerly
petition addressed to Judge Hamilton to
have his son hanged. He complained of
buzzing nrises in his head the rapidity
with whith which he was forced to
think. His insanity was unmistakable.
Beside the son Hansen had four girls
where ages range from to IA years.
The eldest is employed at Philomath and
she cares for the youngest child. The
other two accompanied the father and
clung piteously to him. Mrs. Wood
ward cared for the little ones until yes
terday when Deputy Sheriff Higgins, of
Lane county, took the children to
Eugene, Hansen being a resident of
Lane county. They will probably be
sent to the children's home at Portland.
Hansen was taken to the asylum by
Deputy Sheriff Henderson and Constable
Fullerton of Alsea.

passing from us one by one, aud they

occasion was taken from the words of the

THE DEAD SHALL HbSE AGA1R.
The king is dead-long live the king.
The king is immortal, so is the Demo-
cratic party. For a century it has been
the subject of obituary notices, but al
ways came up smiling before the grave
was covered. Like Aaron Burr, in Mark
Twain's account of his funeral, the
Democratic party always manages to
crawl out of the hearse and take a seat
beside the driver. Wonderful are the
recuperative powers Of these political
parties. For those who fought the battle
of the last three months on principle
there is no discouragemen What was
desired was legislation along certain
lines. If this be accomplished in the
future by the majority, it is Well. The
minority will have the pleasure of see
ing the majority reverse itself, adopt
the hated theories of the late campaign,
or go to the wall Already are the Re
publican politicians and the Republican
newspapers making preparations to deal
summarily with the trusts, the very ex-
istence of which they denied before cleo
ton

small and what is great; slow of faith,
how weak an arm can move the iron

Years are required to develop an issue
and years more are required for parties
to change their views.
AS young as we are, there is still much
conservatism in the United States. While
not guided by precedent and custom to
any great extent, the American has
learned from experience that a change
| of administration makes but little diff
ference in the sum total of the years.
He is becoming more and more satisfied
with the reigning order of things. But
two years may develop many things
now unlocked for. The world is making
history as it has never been made be-
fore. The great game of world diplo-
macy is on, and the United States is in
the game to stay. Grave mistakes no
doubt will be made by the Republican
MISUNDERSTANDING gentlemen IN charge
Of affairs are human-then will this
cadaverous corpse "a of Democracy, over
which the Republican high priests are
now so fond of chanting requiems,
arise, with the glow OF health upon its
cheek and the fire of achievement in it's
eyes, to fill once more. it's pristine place
as the guide of American destinies.
This ebb and flow of political prefer
ment will never change. 1t has it's origin
in human nature. III the hour Of victory,
prepare for defeat. Let the Republican
managers in this, their hour of triumph,
lock we'll to their laurels, the task they
have in hand is the greatest placed upon
human shoulders since the days of Lin
coin.
