LODGE OF SORROW
GRAYS HARBOR LODGE B.P. o.
MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Benevolent Protective Order Of EIks THROUGH.
out the United States Yesterday Gathered
Together in Memory Of Their Departed
Brothers. Impressive Ceremonies In the
Acme Opera House.

The lodge OF sorrow of the Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks was held yester-
day throughout the United States wher-
ever there is lodge of the order, the
services being held in memory of the
Elks who have gone to the Great Meadows
OF the Hereafter during the past year,
and, in compliance with this custom,
Grays Harbor Lodge No. 593 met in the
Acme opera house at O'Clock in the
afternoon.
The public was invited, and the opera
house was comfortably filled with men,
bers OF the order and friends. The house
was appropriately decorated for the occa.
sion the stage being draped in Elks'
colors, purple and white, and ornamented
with several mounted elk heads from
the lodge room.
The program, as published in Thurs.
days HERALD, was most excellently
rendered, and the general verdict was
that It was the most impressive cere.
mony, ever witnessed in Aberdeen.
The musical part Of the prog am was
particularly fine. The solos by Mrs. S.
M. Anderson, Mrs. G. B. Weatherwax
and Mrs. N. d. Coons; the duet by Mes.
danes S. M. and II. N. Anderson, and
the quartet by Messrs j. w. Scamell,
Emil Pfund, VIM. Murphy and w. r
Macfarlane were exceedingly we'll re-
ceived, and nothing but the solemnity of
the occasion prevented rounds of ap-
plause after each. The orchestra, under
dlrec ion of Bro. A. Gylfe, discoursed
some fine musical selections, and its
really excellent playing added NOT a
little to the interesting ceremonies.
The address by Bro. w. O. Chapman,
Judge of the superior court, Tacoma, was
splendid effort. With no attempt at
oratorical display, Judge Chapman dwelt
feelingly upon the meaning of the occa-
sion a,.d the principles upon which. the
order is OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES, justice
and charity-and pictured beautiful
condition OF affairs when those principles
become general. HIS address was re-
plete with excellent advice, for the O: der
and audience alike.

POSTMASTER IN TROUBLE.
Clyde Cleveland. Of Ocosta, Indicted bv
Grand Jury.

Clyde Cleveland, former postmaster at
Ocosta, is charged with embezzling gov.
eminent funds, and the federal grand
jury last week returned an indictment
against him on that charge.
The plan which Cleveland is said to
have used to secure more than his share
of government funds is not new. nor in
genious, but it proved effective. Cleve-
land is charged with having made a
practice of issuing money orders on East
ern offices, fixing the amount correctly
in his blanks sent to other offices, but
filling out his stubs and Office records
with a smaller amount. In one instance
a 500 remittance is said to have appeared
on his books as ST., though the amount
was correctly stated in the order sent
East.
Complaints were made ea'ly this year
Of the failure OF the Ocosta Offices re-
ports to agree, and postoflice inspector
investigated the matter. Cleveland was
removed and successor named.
The irregularities in the Ocosta office
were reported to the United States at
torneys, and they investigated. The
federal grand jury looked into the case
and returned an indictment. Cleveland
is indicted on fifteen counts, and is SAID
to be short about $500.
Cleveland was arrested Saturday by J.
Il. Birdwell, marshal of Ocosta, on in
structions from Seattle, and a U. S.
marshal went down yesterday and took
him to Seattle, today, to await trial.

LEADERSHIP
DISCUSSED BY WILLIAM j BRYAN
IN THE COMMONER.
The Party is Long on Leaders and Short on
Voters. Rsorsanizers Who Aided in the
Defeat Of the Party In 100000 Need
Not Apply. Progressive Thinkers. Not
Political Bosses Wanted.

The eastern papers-especially those
which helped to electa republican presi-
dent-are just now much concerned
about lea Ter for the democratic party
They are SEARCHING high and low for a
Moses to conduct the party in the prom.
ised Ian |. They with one accord de.
clare that the elections hav.> killed the
money question again and that no one
can be considered leader who stands
npon the Kansas City platform they
are also agreed that Tom Johnson is out
of the question because his state went
republican. If some state controlled by
the reorganizers had only gone democra-
tic they would have smooth sailing, but
they cannot find any one who can
promise success-and with them success
is the only thing to be considered. The
trouble is that the metropolitan papers
have been corrupted by the commercial
spirit which dominates the republican
party and which dominated the demo-
cratic party under Mr.. Clevelan as admin
istration. Instead of regarding politics as
the science of government they look upon
it as a game in which offices are awarded
as prizes to the most skilful players
Instead of discus sing as leaders those
who study public questions and seek to
discover the best solution Of each new
problem, they measure men by their
shrewdness in political management or
by their success in state campaign,
overlooking the fact that circumstances
over which the leader has no control
may determine the result.
TIE democratic party does not need
leaders so much as it needs votesrs.
The masses do not need any one to think
for them; they think for themselves and
they will have no difficulty in selecting
fit persons to act for them when the
time for action arrives. They do not
need the services OF a selfappointed CON-
mittee on nominations and they will not
award the position OF standard-bearer to
the highest bidder. They are glad to
hear all that can be said for and against
presidential possibilities, but they are not
apt to be influenced by advisors VINO
think more of candidates availability
during a campaign than they do OF his
reliability in office.
The democrats who know why they
are democrats, will see to it, first, that
the democratic party stands for democra-
tic principles and applies them to every
question before the people, and, second,
that the candidates are sound on those
principles and will stand on them both
before and after the election.
The democratic party recognizes no
boss and is seeking no leader in the sense
in which the metropolitan papers use
the term, but the party is at all times
open to suggestions from those who
believe in democratic doctrines and earn.
estly desire to see those doctrine crysta-
lized into law. The party's commenda-
ton should be reserved fo- those who
think best and act with an eye single to
the peoples good

HE HAS:THE PRICE.
NJ Honor to Walla WaIla to Have the Highest
Bidder


The Ankeny organ effects hot indigna-
ton because the Tacoma dailies charge
that Ankenv's main reliance for election
to the United States senate is the lavish
use of money. Yeteverybody knows that
our Levi would never have been thought
of as a candidate were it not for the
fact that he is millionaire and is will
ing to pay good price for the honor that
he has so persistentlv sought for the last
ten years. 1t is common knowledge that
the Walla Walla candidate has long been
in the habit of paying the campaign ex-
penses of candidates for the legislature
favorable in his ambition, and there has
been good reason to believe that in some
cases much more than their legitimate
expenses has been paid. Mr.. Ankeny has
Slso made practice Of providing trans
portation to delegates from Eastern
Washington to state conventions, and in
the recent election he furnished special
train and free meals to scores OF home
stssders. residing in this CITY. but claim
ing the right to vote in Franklin county.
Moreover, few years ago Mr.. Ankeny
invested probably fifty thousand doll IRIS
in the stock OF Seattle daily paper in
order to control its opinions, and for sew.
eral years he has maintained a daily
paper here at a heavy loss in order to
promote his candidacy among his home
people.
1t has only been through such methods
and practices that Mr.. Ankeny has been
able to keep lis candidacy alive. No man
OF moderate means could compete with
our millionaire candidate in such cam.
paign tactics. If the state had an. o " its
public men such statesmen as Henry
Clay, Daniel Webster or Abraham Lin
coin, they would be relegated to the rear
If the choice OF senator were to be deter
mined by the ability to expend money
for political purposes ard the readiness
to make alliances with corrupt Hobbies
and other pernfcious agencies in order
to get the votes of weak or venal legisla-
tors.
Twas by such methods thatMillionarie
Clark secured his election to the United
States senate from Montana, even buying
up about half OF the opposition members
Of the legislature to consummate his pur-
p);e.
1t would be no honor to Wa,la Walla
to have home man elected senator be.
cause of his ability to outbid all other
aspirants. 1t would be an honor to this
community to have one Of it's members
elected because Of his CONSPICUOUS ability
AMI his power to serve the people OF the
state with honor and distinction. We
have men here who posses such ability,
but they are thrown in the shade by the
Ankney millions.
The election to the United State sem
ate of Ankeny in Washington and Adj
dicks in Delaware will make another
long step downward in the decadence of
what was once justly regarded as the
highest lawmaking body in the wo Id -

r. C. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of

Lower temperatures and holiday de-

Much postponed business is being made
up and shipping departments crowded

AT first glance the sudden rise in fur
mace stocks of pig iron to "a. 1875 tons, as
compared with 71,S5S on November I, might
suggest that consumption was below pro-
duction, but obviously any accumulation

evidenced by the imports of eastern steel
works. The pressure is still greatest for
railway supplies, with structural material
next as to urgency of demand.
Small supplementary orders for spring
shoes are received by New England shops,

from activity in union sole, the leather

the other hand, foreign dry hides are firm
