A True Disciple Of jefferson.

Those who heard Gov. Chamberlain
OF Oregon, at the tbeater, Wednesday
night, have now no lingering doubt as
to how and why that gentleman was
elected executive of a strongly Re-
publican State for, aside from his
charming personality, and recognized
ability, he is born diplomat in those
amenities which constitute the charm
OF social life. Nor do we, in using the
word diplomat, intend to convey the
impression that the gentleman's grace
OF manner is by any means studied or
formal; it seems to come direct from
the heart, and sways the feelings of
all with whom he is brought into
contact.
1t would indeed be difficult to decide
whether Democrats or Republicans
were best pleased with his review of
the salient traits OF Jefferson's charac
ter and their application to present
conditions, although the latter must
admit that his rapier lost none of
keenness OF edge from having dia.
mond studded shield.
The address was mastery presen-
tatlon OF the issues to which our Re-
publican friends close their eye, and
complaisantly declare do not exist, but
which bob up so persistently as the
logic OF events pass up to conclusions.
No brief synopsis would do justice to
the gentleman's remarks, so nothing
but general conclusions will now be
attempted. The speaker showed the
Inconsistency of the claim for a pro-
tective tariff, and presented it in a
clear, comprehensive light that carried
conviction; he endorsed all that was
good in Roosevelt's administration
which gave force to condemnation of
the webbing acts of the politician, in
fiuenced by ambition for reelection
he met the Republican charge that
the Democrats had abandoned some
OF their objects of contention, by show
ing that Republican precedent had
justified, in innumerable instances, an
entire subversion OF policy on matters
of great public Importance. He
claimed that natural law, and changed
environment, justified what changes
have been made, and that a great
party should keep step to the require
ments of modified conditions, founded
on reason.
The Governor spoke in appreciative
terms of the hospitality of our people
irrespective of class or condition, and
referred with evident pride to the cor.
diality OF the greeting of Mr.. Watson,
the private secretary OF the State Elk.
ecutive, who in Gov. McBride's alb
sence and there being no Lieutenant
Governor, filled the function of enter
tainer, as we'll as OF the cordial well
come extended by Mrs. Mcbride to his
wife, who accompanied him on his visit.
During the afternoon, a delegation of
Elks gave the Governor an outing on
the bay (Which the visitor persists in
calling river), and later quite number
OF Eagles and Lions called on him at
the hotel, he being an honored mem.
Der OF all these orders.
The introduction of the distinguished
guest at the theater, by Thomas Z.
Vance, was brief, concise and to the
point, as all that versatile gentleman
says always is. He is equally at home
in a campaign address, an af,er-dinner
speech, or II funeral sermon. We have
heard him in all three, and we really
think he would appear in oratorio to
equal advantage.

Satire Has Its Uses.

The instinct Of mankind against satir,
is really very sound instinct. Satire
is always the expression of hatred for 4
thing hopelessly coveted. Who satir.
ICES humanity? None but he who. not
having the common human advantages,
is possessed with admiration of them.
Who satirizes plutocracy? The pauper
who L. warmed by the notion of wealth
Who satlrlzes aristocracy? The man
who wishes he had been born an arts
tocrat. Thackerav wished that, and the
Marquis Of Farintosh was one of the
natural outcOmes of his wish .HaI
Beerholm IN SATURDAY Rerte,c.
What form OF composition is the
above, Make, but satire: and untru,h-
full satire, at that? Satire cannot be
brought into even tolerable disrepute,
by such an assault 1t has its uses, as
well as other forms OF invection, graded
to milder reprooi, to fit the occasion.
Why, and by what authority, do you
assert that satire is always dishonest"
Had you said, inspired by malevolence,
as you doubtless meant, even then it
would have been questionable. Satire
has its legitim ate uses. 1t is a power.
full bow to wing the shaft at Folly as
she flies. 1t is = potent influence in
restraining exhibitions of egotlsm
that would make humanity blush for
its kind.
1t is palpable error to assume that
covetousness is such a prominent fac
tor in human character. There are
many men whose nobility OF character
is grand enough to save them from
becoming "plutocratic." under any
possible combination of circumstances
afforded by wealth or position.
II satire is to be reprobated in such
unmeasured terms, it may be we'll to
revise our dictionaries and give a diff.
ferent definition of the word. Web.
ster says, "Satire is a composition,
generally poetical, holding up vice or
folly to reprobation; keen or severe
exposure of what, in public or private
morals, deserves rebuke; keenness and
severity of remark; denunciation and
exposure to reprobation; trenchant
wit; sarcasm; ridicule." The Stand
ard Dictionary says. "Satire is the
employment of sarcasm, irony, or
keenness of wit in ridiculing vices,
abuses or evils OF any kind, usually
with humorous exaggeration. A spec
les of composition, in modern litera.
ture, in which vice, folly, incompe.
tency, or corruption, is held up to
ridicule."
Now. Make, do you belong to either
OF these classesi The vigor of your
satire indicates a powerful incentive,
and it may be that your bile has been
stirred by ruction from the heart.

HILL THREATENS TO KETIRE.-Pres.
ident Hill shows side of nature not
often seen ty the public, in the contest
with Hartman, for the transcontinen-
tai trade. Hitherto the white feather
has never been in evidence in any Of
his gigantic undertakings, but he is
now reported as saying that if the suit
began by the Hartman interests is
successful, he will retire, and if the
Northern Pacific goes into the posses.
sion OF hostile interests, he has fought
his last battle for the Northwest. The
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
have cheapened transportation and
given splendid facilities to communi.
ties needing them, yet the attempt is
made to have them declared in re-
straint of trade. Mr.. Hill contends
that if the Union Pacific rates were
applied to the Great Northern, it would
increase its earnings 100000 and
cost the people that amount each year
who are fighting the northern roads.

It Dies Hard.

A great legal battle has been in
sugerated in the U. 8. District Court
at st. Paul, before Judges Sanborn,
Vandeventer, Hook and Thayer, on q
motion of Hartman ct al, to file an
intervening petition showing why the
Northern Securities Co. should not
carry out a plan for distribution of as.
sets of the lately declared illegal com.
pany in manner alleged to be mimi.
cal to the interests OF the Hartman
Interest. Attorney General Knox,
backed by a formidable array of legal
talent, objected to any intervention
with the decision. and the plaintiff
is presenting an equal array of promi
nent corporation lawyers backing that
action.
Attorney General Knox holds that
tho decree Of the court on April 8
1903, was entered, enjoining the de.
PENDANTS. and upon their appeal to
the U. 8. Supreme Court, the decree
was affirmed in every particular, the
effect of which was to end and close
the case. The United States stands
on the decree as affirmed, and submits
that the court is only concerned to Gee
that it is faithfully observed by the
defendants according to its terms.
Among the lawyers taking part, was
James Hamilton Lewis, OF Chicago
late of this State, who re presented the
Continental Trust Co. OF New Jersey
and asked to be heard as an objecto,
to the petition, the court allowed hin,
fifteen minutes. He said he repre-.
sented 5000 shares and objected to the
petition being granted on the ground
that the court has no Jurisdiction.

THE depreciation of nutrative quail
ties OF the wheat lands of Eastern
Washington from a succession of crops
has been so slight, that the belief was
very general that it was practically
impossible to exhaust it's fertility. But
this 10 found to be . mistake. While
Washington fields do not wear out to
the extent of the soil of most other
States, it must be admitted that q long
maintained draft upon the same ele-
ments weakens the result and q rota.
ton OF crops become necessary, or fal.
low. blowing to enable it to recruit its
wasted strength. Deputy State Grain
Inspector King recommends the SOW
ing OF red clover and other nutrative
crops to revive vitality of the soil.

A QUEER PLACE TO COxuIr {

A QUEER PLACE TO COMMIT CRIME.
Two convicts in the Auburn prison,
New York, have been caught making
counterfeit money, right under the
guards eyes in the prison shop. Their
benches were near each other, and one
was engaged in employment that me-
cessitated the use of molten metal.
One of them had the molds, and the
other would pass over at intervals with
ladle of metal and make the cast.
The guards supposed they were at
their regular work. The counterfeits
were good and some we're smuggled
out OF prison and placed in circulation
before the work was discovered.

WREcK.-Last week q wreck took
place from collision, during q dense
fog. on the Chicago and Northwestern
railway, near Haywood. Ill.,, in which
q carload of Indians, from the reser-
walton near Rushville, Neb.. was de.
rallied and smashed, killing three of
the red.men, wounding fatally three
Others, and less seriously dozen more
OF the savages. The object OF this
trip was primarily for exhibition pur-
poses in New York, and incidentally a
visit to President Roosevelt. There
were 63 braves in the band, some of
them women and children. After the
bodies OF the dead and dying, among
the latter being Big Chief White
Horse, had been removed from the
wreckage and placed in row on the
prairie beside the track, an unprece.
dented thing in railroad disaster took
place; the uninjured chanted the
