Met Infant Death.

Mrs. Elizabeth Fitzsimmons,
an old resident of Harrison Co.,
was instantly killed this morn
ing about 6:30, at her farm near
Bebeetown. Near the residence
a cave had been built in the hill
side, heavy rafters being used
in forming the roof, about four
feet of clay covering the tim
bers. In preparing breakfast,
Mrs. Fitsimmons made several
trips into the cave. Without a
moments warning the long pole
which supported the roof gave
way just as Mrs. Fitzsimmons
was taking a quantity Of meat
from a barrell. The entire
weight of the roof fell on her,
the heavy pole breaking her
back, death resulting instant
ly. Funeral will probably occur
from st. Patrick's Church in
this city, Wednesday forenoon.
Deceased was the mother of

A WRONG sUsprcroN.

Some newspaper men are painfully sus- picious. Here's The Ozark Star. for ex- ample. referring to what The Advert,ser said about German and adding:
 Evidently. however. there is hen pn around The Advertiser office somewhere and grandma is watching the nest with q to know what the s'1 old lady wan wants ' te ehristen the little chick when 1t Is matched
 Wherein has The Advertiser given req sen for believing that 1t has a candidate hidden out somewhere? We have openly and earnestly advocated MT. Cleveland, and have given our reasons for 1t. We have as openly declared our opposition to some other possible candidates. and given reasons for that opposition. As a second choice to MT. Cleveland there are num- Der of Democratic statesmen, some of whom have been spoken of while others have not. The Advertiser could name several Democrats. any one of whom 1t would cheerfully support, but what's the use7 The convention is almost a year off Before 1t meets conditions may make the nomination of Mir. Cleveland imperative and popular. or may elimi- nate him entirely from consideration as possibility. However that may he, The Advertiser has no hen on and hasn't even a setting of political eggs ready. It will be certain to say whom it favors, when there is a necessity for saying 1t.

MIR. GoRMAN AS A CANDIDATE.
The Talk of Him Shows the Demo-
 cracy's Helplessness.

Portland Oregonian.
 If MT. German has any sincere desire 10 serve himself or his party. he should keep his mouth shut, for the only end subserved by an expression on politics from him is to uncover all the unIovely things that lie at the basis of the Demo- cratic party of today, They are things the country would fain forget as it would gladly banish some hideOus nightmare from memory; but they are recalled at every mention of Germans name and they form chasm broad and deep be- tween the Democratic party and any reasonable hope of success in National elections for years.
 It is hard thing to say of any man, but it is simple truth that Senator Cor man Is the personliication of the bad side or American politics He is the evil genius of our pubic life. Cold and cal culatngi denied at once the generous inn pulses of honest enthusiasm and the deep- rooted convictions of more intellectual natures, he typiies that school of politics in which principles are mere conveniences to get votes, and public office is nothing more than an instrument of personal profit and aggrandizement. And, as if to cloak this satanic view and aim of public life in the livery of heaven. MT. German covers all his malignance and depravity with the ordinary blackleg of politics, like Croker or Clarkson, a man like German is nearest like the scribes and Pharisees. hypocrites, denounced by Jesus as whited sepulchers in terms as whitening as lam guage affords.
 German had no voice to denounce the mischievous and dangerous fallacIes of Bryanism. He was keen enough to un- derstand their error and their hopeless ness, but 1t was more to him to maintain his party regularity than to help to save his country's honor, and in his betrayal or the cause of tariff reform in 1894 he not only stabbed his party in the back, but richly deserved the stigma cast upon him by President Cleveland in his 'pertidy and dishonor' letter to Wilson and the somewhat horid further declara- ton made in the letter to Catchngs that the deadly blight of treason has blasted the eounsels of the brave in their hour

sEL1UM, THE NEWEST METAL,
It Has Strength and Rigidity Greater Than Aluminium, is Lighter
 and Costs Far Less.

anu SO0lD EdE ASSS.
 Brooklyn Eagle.
 The announcement comes from Ger many that a Frenchman, Edward Mol lard. has reported to the State Denart- ment the discovery of another metal This new metal is called selium and is both lighter and stronger than alumi- mum. Its hardness is not quite canal to iron, but is greater than zinc. and its power of resistance ranks between iron and steel The greatest advantage of the new metal Is its cost of production which Is only about One-Iwentieth thai of aluminium. Selium does not corrode and is capable of a very high polish. The former quality is an important re- quisite in ship building. while the latter makes the new metal exceptionally suit ed for cooking utensils.
 Numerous eXperimentors have tried to obtain mattel as light as aluminium, but one which would possess greater rigid ity. .St first maglanium. which is a combination of aluminium and magne- sium. seemed to fulfill these conditions. but few trials proved that it possessed a very short grain. which destroyed all elasticity In other words. the metal was capable of sustaining a strong pres sure, but breaks easily.
 Such metal. therefore, as selium, DOS sessing the good qualities of aluminium. together with strength, rigidity and the quality of receiving a high polish, can scarcely help becoming strong commer- cial factor especially when the low cost of production Is considered. It is to be hoped that selium possesses all the ad- vantages claimed for 1t.

of night" There is no cause dear to the Democratic party which German would not sell out for temporary per- sonal advantage: and 1t is small wonder our Oregon Democrats feel free to de- nounce him in unequivocal terms.
 The Republican party has its Hanna, Platt, Quay and others of that stamp, just as the Democratic party has it's Hiii, German and Stone; but 1t is to the eternal glory of the Nation that no man
 of that stamp has ever been elected
 President. Providence has so ordered
 it. or the chance has happily fallen. that
 our Presidents have been men of charac-
 ter and honorable purpose. Much as
 there is to say against Bryan, no one who
 has followed his career with attention
 considers him capable of deliberately be-
 traying a cause in which he sincerely be-
 iieves; no one thinks he would, with eyes
 open to the consequences of his act, de-
 liberately sacrifice the trust reposed in
 him to base ends of personal profit or
 power. In him, indeed, as in German,
 such an act would be worse than in the
 avowed servants of protected trusts in
 the Republican party. It Is bad enough
 to find Republicans talking in cold blood
 about caring for the trusts and monopo- Hes; but infinitely lower in the moral scale
 would be the Democrat who should serve the same masters, all the while pretend ing loyalty to the common people and death to the trusts.
 It is the heavy cross of the Democratic party that the country knows German and Hill, and knows their power in its councils. One can almost read as much between the lines of the Democratic pro- tests against Germans candidacy. One can almost read there the searching in- quiry whether, after all, right-minded men everywhere would find in their hearts any warmer welcome for the Gorman-Hill element of the party than they had for the crazy but honest leadership of Bryan. There Is depth of political misery, un- fortunately, below the level of Bryanism, and that depth is Gormanism. We might even take the abysmal plunge to the siI- yer basis. with all it's misery and dis honor, and yet continue to feel that virtue lived in us still, because the reins and insignia of power has not been for mally delivered over to the abnegation of all principle and honor. But with men like Hill and German in absolute power, there would be no such consolation. Per- haps this is why Democrats view so hope lessly their party's prospects. Perhaps they see that 1t is rushing from the fry ing pan to the fire. Some of them seem campaign, and are praying that it may be as decisive as possible. To this end nothing can so powerfully contribute as the ascendency of German and his type. The situation is almost tragic in its patho5. When one considers the fine quality of men who stood high in Demo- cratic counsels In the old days, and the great volume of honest purpose that in- forms Its rank and file, 1t is pitiable that there is not force enough in its honesty and sagacity to keep 1t from yielding either to the lunacy of Populism or the satanic clutches of unprincipled wreckers
