! At the Pendleton high school
building Wednesday afternoon at
1:30 O'Clock what came near being
a serious accident occurred. The
children of the third grade in Misc
Elsie FOlsom's room were busy at
their work when a piece of plas-
tering suddenly fell from the CELL
ing In one corner of the room. The
teacher and her pupils were
startled but became quiet again.
Then another piece fell and Miss
Folsom becoming alarmed called
in the janitor. He made a hur-
ried examination while other small
pieces were falling. Quickly the
children were told to leave the
room but the last one had hardly
made his exit when the entire coil
ing fell with mighty crash on the
desks and floor of the school room.
The plaster WAS firm and did not
break to pieces and its weight
would have crushed many of the
children to the floor. In places it
would probably have broken
through on their heads but it
would have been a miracle for all
to escape. The little people would
have been greatly frightened ard
in their excitement some Of them
might have been suffocated. There
were 65 in the room.-Pendleton

The Umstills County stock in-

his report on the sheep industry
for 1901. In Umatilla county the
number Of sheep January /, 1902,
was 24l,700. The increase over

Der 5000 are being fed for mutton.
No disease has been discovered

SEVERAL KINDS e

Whatcom Reveille: There are sew
eral varieties of rufiians to be found
in the United States senate. Tillman
and McLaurin fought with fists and
Money charged or an adversary with
a knife. Carmack distinguished him
self by advocating in language fit
only for the mouth of the clustering,
staggering brawler the hanging of
little Funston. The generals crime
was that he obeyed a call to duty, as
a soldier should. He did his duty
honorably and we'll. He listened to
the slurs of creatures like Carmack
and answered them as their kind de-
served. He may have been indiscreet
in having done so, probably had no
right to do so, but that fact will not
wipe out the shame certain rufianly
acts and ruffianly speeches have
brought upon what by tradition is the
most dignified legislative body in the
world. Time will bring traditions
that to recall will compel a blush.

MUST HAVE AN "Issoo."

Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Never
since apprehension was in it's prime,
did it cost a man so heavily in selfre-
spect to keep in line with the demo
cratic party. The debates in the sen
ate for the last few weeks, the pro-
ceedings before the investigating COM
mittees, have placed the chiefs and
leaders of that party about on a level
with, say the Maccabebes. Only that
these latter have been loyal to the
United States government, which the
former are not. This vile outpouring
of abuse on men of honor and Of serv-
ice, this b~eslavering with praise of
any traitor or murderer so only that
he may chance to have been in rebel
loin against our country, are fairly ap-
palling in their revelation of the
depths to which mere partisanship
can sink manhood; of the destruction
that they can work among ideals of
truth or honor or decency.

KEEP CLOSE TO SHORE.

United States Investor: On the
whole, our advice to the public in the
matter of speculation would be not to
get too far from shore. The next few
months may furnish a good market for
turns" if one has sense enough to
know how to use the turns" We
certainly should not buy up stocks for
a long pull until we had a clearer
knowledge than is likely to be obtain
ed for many weeks of what the next
harvest is going to be like. If the next
harvest should urn out to be bad, we
should rather be short of stocks than
long, because, under such circum-
stances it would hardly be likely that
even all Mr.. J. P. Morgan's skill would
avail to keep the financial situation
intact.

las silver advances so does wheat
advance and as silver decreases in
price, so does wheat decrease in
price" wheat seems to have suddenly
broken the bonds which in the past
were said to bind it to the white metal
and maintains a degree of value out
of all proportion to. that of its fellow
commodity. On the very day that
London quoted silver at 81 cents, May
wheat was selling at Chicago for 75A
cents a bushel. The fact may have
escaped the attention of Mr.. Bryan

elections, therefore, do not warrant
the apprehension expressed by some
republicans that the admission
OF these territories to statehood would
mean six democratic senators and five
democratic representatives in con-
gress. On the contrary it would ap-
pear that republicans have something
like a sure thing in New Mexico and
Oklahoma and a good fighting chance
to carry Arizona. An any rate politics
should not be the determining consid-
GRAFTON. If the territories are deem
ed to be fitted for statehood they
should be admitted. The republican
party in it's last national platform de-
clared in favor of their admission and
it should not stultify itself by refusing
to admit them.

general exceeded his power in deny
ing second class mailing privileges
to certain publications, is sustained,
all that burdensome mass of. matter
will probably have to be restored to
the second class and carried at the old
rates. During the time that it has
been obliged to pay postage some
what nearer the cost of carrying it,
the mails have paid a profit where
formerly there was always a deficit.
If the %postofice department has no
power to correct this abuse of the

BETTER THAN WORDS,

Representative Underwood Of Ala
BAN may be sincere in his opinion
that in time of such overwhelming
disaster as has befallen the island ot
Martinique the proper thing for a ma.
ton to do is to send messages of con.
dolence, but to the credit of the peo-
pie of the United States it is to be
said that he finds only a very few
who share in that opinion. The ma
terial sympathy, expressed in dollars
and cents, that helps the suffering,
buries the dead, gives food to the
hungry and clothes the naked is more
acceptable and calculated to accom-
plish more than all the well rounded
sentences of pity and commiseration.
The receipt of the 5000, 900, voted by
congress will be the best possible evil
we are touched by the misfortune un-
der which they are staggering and the
people of the island will so accept it
and the French government will so
understand it. President Loubet would
have acknowledged any such mes
sage as MI. Underwood thought O
er to send and in doing so would I'M
doubtedly have done it in his most
polite manner, but all the time he
would probably have considered re-
ceipt of it as a mere act of courtesy
nm rho mort 0f q fri1r11u ro&;0r on
observance of the conventionalities,
as it were, but when he learned that
as a nation we were willing to ex-
press our sorrow in a manner calcu-
lated to be of permanent benefit he
then understood the full depth of our
pity and the people of the island had
something more than well meaning
sentences to aid and comfort them.
A message of coincidence, a la I'm
derwood, would have brought forth
no such expressions as the following
newspapers of the French capital:
"Of all friendly manifestations, the
most brilliant and the most touching
are certainly those of the United
States. The great people beyond the
ocean have again proved that feelings
of humanity and generosity are among
the noble qualities upon which they
pride themselves.
"This fine example of human
solidarity touches us profoundly and
we are happy to note it in this unfor-
gettable maze.

During the past few days the har-
mony existing between the editorial
and news pages of some of our demo
cratic contemporaries has been of
about the same degree Of intensity as
exists in the ranks of the party they
represent. While the first have con
tanned open and direct charges
against the president and his attorney
general of being in collision and
sympathy with the trusts, the others
have given lengthy accounts of the
doings in the courts of Chicago in
which the United States of America
figured conspicuously as plaintiff and
some of the trust managers as de-
PENDANTS, while the name of Philander
c. Knox as attorney for the prosecu-
ton was also more or less prominent
ly mentioned. just for the sake of
appearance, the news editors should
respectfully petition the editorial
writer's to read their own papers oc-
casionally, as it might result in max
ing those publications seem less ridic-
ulOus at times.

THE STATEHOOD BILL.

Omaha Bee: The omnibus bill for
the admission to statehood of the ter
ritories of Arizona, New Mexico and
Oklahoma having passed the house
of representatives, the question arises
as to its chances in the senate. Op-
position in the house was chiefly from
political considerations and whether
Or not these will have any weight
with the senate remains to be seen.
1t has been stated that a number of
republican senators were unfavorable
to the measure, for political reasons,
and if such is the case the bill may
fail in the senate.
Admitting that the territories are
fitted by population and resources for
statehood, what of their political rec
ord? In the silver campaigns of 1892
and 1896 New Mexico went demo-
cratic, but in 1898 and 1900 it was car
ried by the republicans. The 'repub-
llcan candidate for territorial delegate
to congress in 1900 received 21,567
votes to 1887 polled for the demo-
cratic candidate. In the same year
Oklahoma gave the republican candi-
date for delegate 1928 votes against
1883 for the fusion candidate. Ari-
iona elected a democratic delegate to
congress in 1900, but by a majority
OF only 1000. The results Of these

inference to be drawn from what he
is pleased to designate as his cause
of grievance. .
Several changes have of late been
made in the official roster of the mint
there, involving the dismissal of the
superintendent. His place was filled
by the promotion of the chief coiner
and it was sought to fill the acancy
caused by the promotion by showing
the chief clerk ahead a notch. But
the chief clerk has his own peculiar
notions about such things and de
clines to accept the promotion, say
ing he does not care to assume the
increased responsibility which it in

his old position. The result is a tie
