Unless the democratic party adopt
as its chief planks the complete social
izing Of the money of the nation, the
public ownership of all public utili-
ties and reform in methods of taxa
tion it cannot secure the cooperation
of the reform element in the country,
and will be divided and again defeat
ed. But if it take this advanced stand
it is bound to attract the support of
all progressive people and stands a
good show of winning. The people
are heartily tired of republican mis-
rule and if the democratic party offers
what they want they will elevate it
to power. If not, they will try to
build up third party that will give
them good government.

The republican press all over the

F. B. Lawrence, the silver republican
chairman, had deserted the party OF
reform, and had gone back to the re-
publican party. DR.. Lawrence comes
back at them in red hot letter in
this weeks Advocate, and claims
still to advocate "a government of
the people etc" The Advocate sug-
geSts that populistS who are taking
republican papers for their news,
should read DR.. Lawrence's letter,
and then go and subscribe for another
fake sheet.

Judge W. II. Prattseems to be con-
sidered by all the people of the seven
teenth. judicial district as the best
fitted and most competent man in the
republican party for the. judgship.
Yet some how or other, nearly all the
papers appear to think some other
fellow will land the appointment.
just why this is we do not know, I'M
less they think Governor Stanley will
refuse to appoint the best man, and
name one he thinks he can use to help
him out in his senatorial race.

About Wheat.

AS careful an analysis as can well be
name of the conflicting reports about
the wheat yield forces the conclusion
that this will be a good season to go
rather slow in marketing that grain.
There is a great difference in the
character of reports from professional
'estimatorS'' and farmers, and as
threshing returns come in they seem
to indicate that the farmers have the
best of it as gueSsers. But if the
most Sanguine estimates prove true,
and this country has the largest crop
of its history, there is still sound rea-
son for believing that the worlds
crop is not above normal, not more
than last year, even, when the price
averaged not far from 10 cents a
buShel higher than it is now. The
European crop is short, and the latest
reports Indicate that it will be small
er than was predicted few weeks
earlier. In portions of Russia failures
were so disastrous that famine re-
suited, and in all Europe, save Italy,
there are comparatively light yields
of both wheat and rye. In addition
to this, the short crop of corn in the
United States, estimated not less than
500, 100000 bushels short, must have
an important influence on the price
of wheat, an influence that will not
be felt, however, until later. From
the view point of the writer of this
no loss will come from marketing
wheat slowly, while possible, even
probable gain may result.

This is how Editor ]. NJ. McNay
formerly of the Dispatch of this city
puts it: admiral Schley is now ac-
cused of being under the influence OF
liquor when he sunk and destroyed
Cervera's fleet. Possibly that is the
reason he didn't run out of the way
that morning when the Spanish feet
came out of the harbor. 1t might OF
been to the credit of Admiral Samp-
son if he had taken a snort out OF
Schley's canteen that morning."

Missouri has been burdened with an
enormous state debt ever since the
days of republican carpetbag rule.
Now it is announced that this debt
will be completely wiped out by the
end of the present fiscal year. In view
of this fact it is hardly probable the
people of that state will want to create
a new debt by returning the republi-
cans to power.

Charles W. Ingersoll, formerly a
conductor on the Rock Island rail-
road, was arrested yesterday on a
charge of vagrancy, it being alleged
that he has been sleeping in a barn
near the Rock Island depot and sup
plying himself with food by robbing
the dinner buckets Of men employed
in the yards. Ingersoll was arrested
June 8. on complaint of his wife, who
charged him with attempting to
throw acid in her face. After lying
in Jail several days he was discharged
on his promise to leave the city and
not modest his wife.-Omaha Bee.
The above refers to man who was
well known here few years ago, as
he ran in here for several years as a
brakeman and for about two years as
conductor.

HE TRoueLE IN CHINA.

A dispatch from Shanghai says that
Sir Edward Ii. Seymour, British COM
mander-in.chief on the China station,
was the principal guest OF the China
association at its annual banquet. In
the course Of speech protesting against
the policy of trade exclusion, the ad.
miral SAID Great Britain had three
powerful rivals-the United States,
Russia and Germany, OF the three the
United States was the greatest of the
trade rivals, but the rivalry was not in
conflict with Great Brtalu's policy of
the open door, Germany was Il keen
competitor both as regards trade and
sea power. Great Britain, some day,
would have to reckon with the latter.
Russia was not extending her territory,
but was represslug trade, Admiral
Seymour insisted ON the Importance of
holding and defending China, in order
to preserve the prestige Of the foreign
nations.

Grave Creek Placers.

The cam Beer, Columbia ani Lewis
hydraulic mines completed their annual
cleanup Friday. zach OF these proper.
ties lie in the Grave Creek district and
are the best paying and the finest
equipped placer mines in Northern
Josephine County.
To Telegram correspondent who Wis.
tied the mines yesterday the operators
stated that the run had been shorter
than usual, owing 70 the lack Of snow on
the mountains, cutting the water supply
in the fumes al an early season. While
the run has been brief, it has been prof.
table as we'll AS the jars Of nuggets aud
dust removed from the sluices testify.
The Steam Beer, Lewis and Columbia
mines lie one above the other along
crave Creek. The water supply is con.
trolled by Lewis * Hampton, the own
ers Of the Lewis and Columbia. The
eight miles OF ground lying between and
comprising these three mines is every
foot paying dirt, and belongs to the
same DRIFT The source OF the gold sup
ply Ia these mines is the rich ledges of
the Gieenback and Lucky Queen quartz
districts.
The ground is easily worked by the
big gisnts, it being loose dirt and gray
gravel over thi bedr ,ck. By the present
system OF working, which all told repre-
sents he 'abor OF y giants and 70 men,
1t will take l0J years to work the ground
oyer thi. one drift alone. Considerin.
the fact thai from $4,000 to 100000 is
removed from the bedrock each year by
these three mines, one can get an idea
Of the vast wealth that lies hidden along
The banks OF Grave Greek. Each OF
these mines is most excellently equipped
with all the modern conveniences of
hydraulic mine work. Aside from this
the mess houses and quarters for the
men are marvels Of nestness, a decided
contrast to the general rule followed by
mines in this regard.
The placer diggings of Grave Creek
are the most extensive in Southern Ore,
and have long ago proved by the many
hundred pounds OF nuggets and gold
dust they have yielded to be second to
the rich grounds Of California. .--Tele

present.
The street committee reported un.

bridge across Gilbert creek on Mama

dents OF that portion Of the citv, asking
that the bridge be put in, was presented
The report Of the committee was ac-
cepted and the petition was referred 10
the street committee to investigate the
cost OF building the bridge. The street
committee reported that $57 % per
month had been subscribed for street
sprinkling. It was moved that the
street committee be authorized to enter
into a contract with responsible parties
to sprinkle the streets at cost to the
city OF not to exceed $40 per month.
The motion was put in this form to
relieve the city from the necessity i
collecting the subscriptions.
The FIRE and water committee sub
