ADLAI E. STEVENSON.

The newiy-chosen Democratic nomi-
nee for the presidency was born
in Christian county, Kentucky, October
%, 1895. and educated at Wesleyan
University and Centre College. Ken
lucky In 1852 he moved to Blooming
ton. ILL.,. and began the practice Of law
at Metamora, in the same state, eight
years later. He soon became prominent
in politics. serving as chancery mas
ter Of Woodford county from 1861 to
1866, as states attorney from 1865 to
1863, and was chosen as a presiden-
tial elector on the Democratic ticket
in 1854 He returned to Bloomington
in 1859 and was thence elected to the
Forty-fourth and Forty-slxth congress-
es. In 1877 he was member of the board
Of visitors to West Point. During
Cleveland's first term as president he
was the first assistant postmaster-gen-
eral. In 1892 he was elected vice-pres-
ident on the ticket with Cleveland, and
now finds himself linked with Bryan
as a candidate for the same position.
Being elected this time, however, is a
different proposition.

ASTORIA AGAIN DIsGRAcED.

Something is evidently wrong with
the discipline in our navy. Since We
have been fooling with the Oriental
and Philippine questions we have lost
two valuable warships. vessels that are
worth more in dollars and cents than
the whole Philippine group. and the in
dications are that the loss in at least
one case was the result of negligence
or drunkenness. Vessels Of all ma
tons are plying those waters,
and it certainly appears strange
that American ships should be
the only ones TO meet with disasters.
When the Charleston was wrecked 1t
is known through the testimony Of
members Of the crew. though the mat
ter was quickly hushed up. that nearly
all the officers were intoxicated and un-
fit for duty. and we may expect some
interesting reports regarding the Ore
gon as soon as the crew is discharged
and the men at liberty to speak.
Building expensive vessels simply to
decorate the rocks in Asiatis waters is
becoming very tiresome to the Amer
ican people. and they will soon demand
an accounting from the navy depart
ment-Astoria Budget, July 2.
The attention Of The Astorian has
just been called to the above slander-
Gus attack on the American navy,
marked copies of the paper containing
which are said to have been gratu-
itously sent aboard the Philadelphia
during her sojourn here and distributed
promiscuously among the officers and
sailors. 1t is to be regretted that the
committee Of arrangements. at whose
instance the navy department was kind
enough to honor Astoria with the visit
Of this noble ship and her veteran
crew Of officers and men. failed to de-
tect and repudiate an act so vile and
discourteous as this. The appearance
OF such an article in any American
newspaper would be bad enough at any
time. but the timing of its publication
with the arrival of the Philadelphia TO
take part in a general patriotic observ-
ance of the Fourth Of July amounts to
an otfense whose infamy and inhos-
pitality viii react upon Astoria and
do lasting harm and discredit perhaps
to the whole state. The insult was
deeply resented by Captain Mead and
other officers of the Philadelphia, and
it is to be feared the report which they
may give to the navy department of
their visit here viii put a stop to fur
ther friendly visits of American war
vessels to this port.
OF course the article is inspired by

SEEDS THAT SURELY GROW.

The cost of seeds compared with
thu value of the crop is so small that
I few cents saved by buying second
rate seeds will amount tt many dol
lars lost when the haryestis gathered.
Farmers have found out by many
costly failures what u risky thing it
is to buy Sc -ds without being pretty
sure that they are reliable and true
to name. The latest catalogue of the
seed house Of D. M. Ferry & Co., of
Detroit, Mich, is "a reminder that
thousands of farmers in the United
States and Canada have pinned their
faith to the reputation of this great
firm. During Il business career APP
preaching half a century in time
Ferry's seeds have won an annual
increase in popularity, which is per-
haps the best evidence that they
grow and give satisfaction. Ferry's
Seed Annual for 1901 is a useful

present time, and by the close of the

for the daily delivery of mails at the
scattered homes of about three and
a half millions of rural population.
This service ameliorates the isola-
ton OF farm life, conduces goodroads,
and quickens and extends the dis
semination of general information.
Experience thus far has tended TO
allay the apprehension that it would
be so expensive as to forbid it's gen
eral adoption or make it a serious
burden. It's actual application has
shown that it increases postal re-
ceipts, and can be accompanied by
reductions in other branches of the
service, so that the augmented reve-
nues and the accomplished savings
together materially reduce the net.
cost The evidences which point to.
these conclusions are presented in.
detail in the annual Report of the
Postmaster General, which with its
recommendations is commended to
the consideration of the Congress.
The full development of this special
service, however, requires such d
large outlay of money that it should
be undertaken only after a careful
and thorough understanding of all
that it involves"
ECONOMY URGED.
The President pays ii high cOmpli-
ment to the efficiency of both the
land and sea service, praises the ad-
ministration in Porto Rico, says the
new census bureau has accomplished
gratifying results and concludes his
message with the following timely
warning against extravaganza:
I'm u great prosperity we must
guard against the danger it invites
of extravaganza in government ex-
penditures and appropriations and
the chosen representatives of the
people will, 1 doubt not, furnish an
example in their legislation of that
wise economy which in d season of
plenty husbands for the future. In
this era of great business activity
and opportunity caution is not I'M
timely. It will not abate, but
strengthen, confidence. 1t will not
retard, but promote, legitimate in.
dustrial and commercial expansion.
Our growing power brings with it
temptations and perils requiring o
slant vigilance to avoid. 1t must
not be used to invite conflicts, not
for oppression, but for the more
effective maintenance of those prin-
ciples of equality and justice upon
which ourinstitutions and happiness
depend. Let US keep always in mind
