The situation in the Occur d.
Alenes is natural reaction from
the conditions that prevailed
under the stress of martial law.
The lawless element in the Occur
d'Alenes is attempting to make
good the threat that certain of the
men prominent in inforcing mar
tial law should be punished. Those
best informed on the stu ,tion
predicted that the abolition or mar
tial law would result in murier or
an attempt to murder for some 81
the officers whose line of duty led
them into places Of prominence.
It is also predicted that prompt &C.
ton will be taken and those guilty
be summarily dealt with. The
state authorities are now brought
face to face with the gravity of the
situation and the solution of the
problem fixes the future Of the
Occur d 'Alenes.

He Is On the Level Now.

The Baltimore News, and indie
pendant journal with an inclination
toward the democratic patty, has
an article on the gradual obscura.
ton and eclipse of Mr.. Bryan,
which it entities "The Waning OF
q Leader" Another journal treats
the same topic under THE Re.
mains of a Parsonage" 1t has not
escaped any attentive observer that
Mr.. Bryan's political prestige shows
signs of a serious decline. What
is the cause of it?
No doubt in part Of the utter
failure Of all his gloomy predictions
as to the disasters to be expected
from a gold standard and from
rejection Of the monetary and eco.
nomic theories 70. which he stood
chief sponsor in his party. But, as
il seems to us, his Commoner is the
chief agent Of his diminution as a
political figure. 1t is very ordi-
nary and commonplace thing. In
thought it is meagre, in expression
trifling and dull. In Oregon we
have had for years a number of
populist weeklies, any one Of them
which has more brightness and
ability and greater range than Mr..
Bryan's. This paper is revelation
Of the shallowness and exiguity OF
the mans thinking powers. It is
letting him down; indeed, has let
him down far already.
And yet his paper has. had .
great deal of aid from the journal
ism Of the country. There has
been no conspiracy Of silence
against it. On the contrary, its
utterances have been literally tele.
graphed or clipped, and reprinted.
But those persons who have been
looking to the Commoner for politi-
cal wisdom and "keynotes" have
been disappointed. There may be
deception in oratory, but it is not
easy toimpose on anybody through
printed matter. Cold type is a hard
test Of jejuneness and super6ci-
ality. The simple fact is, Bryan
has written himself out of his COM
manding position in his party. He
has subjected himself to a test of
criticism which man Of his quality
10 not able to- meet or withstand.
He is on . level now with the edi-
tors Of the populist weeklies Of the
villages Of Missouri, Nebraska and
Oregon. Oregonian.

Liquors Were Publicly Destroyed

E. j. Eicholtz, one of Hiawatha's
druggists, made public his deterni-
nation to destroy all the liquor in his
store, and from this time on will sell
no liquors whatever. The liquors were
publicly destroyed in the presence of
the evangelists and great crowd of
people were invited to witness the
event. Mr.. Eicholtz has concluded
since hearing the revival evangelists
that to sell liquor for any purpose is
wrong.
