PoRTLANDs population, under the
late reliable census Enumeration has
almost doubled within the past ten
years, forging ahead from 1896 in
1890, to 9O.426 in 1900. That is not
surprising, however, when we consider
that The city proper has absorbed con-
siderable suburban population by ex-
tension of limits, since the former
count, and this enables it, like the wit
who simply doubled up bank-note to
show that by that means his " wealth"
increases, to make very satisfactory
showing in the census reports.

The P.-L says that William Jen-
nings Bryan is "rattle-braincd" and
that he is mentally dishonest" in
the face OF the fact that eight millions
of voters and forty millions of people
have weighed him in the balance and
found him not wanting in mental
power and sterling integrity. This
habit the hyphenated paper has of
shooting arrows at the sun may serve
to crafty its partisan spleen, but all
intelligent people are compelled TO re-
gard it as very foolish proceeding,
and one which betrays a poverty of re-
source against an invincible champion.

A REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN. - The
old assertion that the Republicans
would vote for the proverbial yellow
dog, if he should by some chance be
endorsed by Republican nominating
convention, is, to some degree verified
by the action of the Fourth district
convention, the other day, in the State
OF Maine, which, with the full knowl-
edge that Chas. A. Boutelle was a raw.
ing maniac, in the Mclean asylum
for the insane, at Waverly, Mass, re-
nominated him for Congress, and as
the Fourth district has Republican
majority of about 10000, will undoubt-
eddy re-elect him. For the first time
in American politics, an officially rec
ognized insane man has been nomi-
mated for Congress by convention
having full knowledge of that fact.
If he is elected, the novel proposition
will probably be presented in the
House, which is admittedly the Judge
OF the qualification of its own men,
bers, whether an officially adjudged
mailman is qualified to sit as a peer of
its sane members. One thing seems
in a fair way of being established, how
ever, in Republican party usage, by
this matter, and that is: 1t is not
necessary for candidate to have a
sound brain or any brains at all, to
qualify him for party purposes, &C
cording to modern approved, ring
rules.

GALVESTON had, at the time of the
disaster $4,000 people. About one
third of the city was destroyed by the
late flood. 1t was not the first disas-
ter from that cause, however. In
1872, six blocks were swept away by a
tidal wave accompanied by storm of
unprecedented severity on the gulf,
which lasted for three days. A new
location, Mt the mouth of the Brazos
river, has been suggested as an altern-
alive for building on the present site.

Schurz Scores Secretary Gage.

Carl Schurz, the great publicst, has
given out an open letter to Lyman ].
Gage, Secretary of the Treasury, in
which he calls upon the latter to 1c-
tract his interview OF Aug. oG. Mr..
Gage, in his statement, seeks to alarm
business interests by suggesting that
William Jennings Bryan, if elected,
could direct his Secretary OF the Treas
ury to pay off in silver all government
obligations payable in "coin." Mr..
Schurz charges Secretary Gage with
having given ont his interview for a
political purpose, under cloak of pro-
tccting creditors of the government
Mr.. Schurz points out it was the
avowed intention OF the last Congress
to adopt currency measure which
would put tie country upon an inn
pregnable gold basis, and that if Il
loophole were left in the adopted bill
which empowered the executive to re.
deem with silver government obliga-
tons made payable in coin, it doubt
less was for the purpose of furnishing
the Republican party an opportunity
to play on silver with an idea of OBJ
securing other issues. Mr.. Schurz
scores Secretary Gage for spreading
false alarms of this kind. Finally Mr..
Schurz informs the Secretary that il
the danger the latter indicates really
exists it still is in the power of the
present Congress, which is overwhelm-
ingly Republican, to amend the cur.
rency laws so as to make it impossible
for the executive to discriminate be-
tween the two metals in the redemp-
ton of government obligations. Mr..
Schurz throws down tie gauntlet to
his open correspondence and courts
defense of Secretary Cages position.

raised sack to cover it, but about

Richard Olney for BRYAN.

Richard Olney's conversion" to
the Bryan cause is, in some respects,
the most notable event of the cam.
paign to date. Mr.. Olney was Grover
Cleveland's Secretary of State, and by
all odds the ablest man in the cabinet.
He is Boston man, identified with
many interests, commonly supposed
to be antagonized by the Kansas City
platform. But he is Democrat.
He was the author of the Venezuela
message wherein he made Grover
Cleveland defy the British govern
ment to the point of war, to try to ex-
tend its territories in South America.
Such man was not likely to give
his support to an administration that
would voluntarily haul down the Amer
lean flag over American territory in
Alaska.
1t is the final test. No American
deserving the name can do more or
less than Mr.. Olney has done. The
brains and heart of the American peo.
pie 60 with this staunch New England
American-away from Mckinley to
