The Oregonan still clings to the falacy that dem
ocrats have no ''right' to vote at republican pri
maries What man Of common sense will undertake
to say that democrats have not the same right to
vote for republican candidates for nomination as for
republican candidates for office? If anything, they
have less right to vote for candidates for Office TN
democrat who is anxious to interfere at a republican
primary will register as republican and interfere
under the primary law with more success than under
the old method of procedure In this respect, per-
haps, the law is more gigantically frost than
in any other.

In recent history of Marion County
written by the Honorable w. w. Sell
ers, Esq, he has this to say of w. Boyd
Evans grandfather, Nathan Evans,
and his father, William Baker Evans:
Nathan Evans was one of Natures
noblemen; had great. good sense, was
energetic and upright in every respect;
always lent his ear to tale of suffer
ing; had kind and sympathetic heart,
and would help his neighbor in dis
tress, If it was in his power, often to his
own injury; he injured himself and
family by becoming surety for others.
he managed to keep till his death: he
aspired to tho honors of Office but once,
and then not Of his own motion, but be-
ing urged by his numerous friends he
became a candidate for Representative
in the State Legislature in 1858, and
though the contest wal heated, he was
trirmphantly elected at the head of the
ticket, and served term in the House.
Faithful to his trust, he retired from
public life in the full confidence of his
people-he loved his bone and family
too well; pursuits of home life were
more congenial to his nature.
William Baker Evans, w. Boyd
IT,
true and valiant soldier. In one of
the battles of Virginia Gold Harbor) he
was badly wounded, shot through one
lung-which at the time was thought
to be mortal, but to every ones surprise
he recovered. After recovery he re-
turned to his command and continued
there to the surrender of Johnson's
army, Goth April, 1865. Captain Evans
is very worthy citizen, man of good
morals, and good man in. his family
in short, he is a hightone& gentleman;

w. Boyd Evans is son of this gal
TALLY self-made man, for his father
lacking the means to bear the expenses
Of his college education, he met those
expenses himself, unaided, by dint of
hard work and uptiring perseverance,.
While still at College Mr.. Evans was
elected against sharp competition, to fill
the position of Secretary of the Judic-
iary Committee of the Constitutional
Convention of 1895, and in that position
exhibited such marked ability as to at
tract the attention of William H. Eller-
be. who afterwards becoming Governor
OF the State, appointed him as his pri-
vate secretary.
Mr.. Evans held this responsible posi-
chief, and during the last desperate i'll
ness Of Governor Ellefbe, covering the
greater part of yeai. the duties and
responsibilities Of that high office de-
yolved almost entirely upon his shoul-
ders, and he acquitted himself with
ability and dignity.
During the performance of these ar
duous duties, however, he found time
to enter upon and complete the study

The Missouri Disaster Finding.

It is doubtless gratifying to the whoie
country that the court of inquiry upon the
Missouri gun explosion failed to find evil
dence pointing to the culpable negligence
or inefficiency of any officer or man on
board the battleship. The opinion rendered
by the court leaves the cause or the dls-
asterin some doubt, even though the theory
is advanced that 1t was due to the PACK
blast from the previous discharge Inc
practical elimination of all of the ship S
company who were in a position TO kno"
the facts left the court no sound basis
from which to judge the case and the eX-
PLANTATION yentured must be accepted as
the best obtainable.
The explosion, at heavy cost, teaches a
lesson which may perhaps be useiul
to the navy in the future. The rivalry be-
tween the warships for records In RAPID
and accurate firing has led to the taxing
of desperate chances, wholly unnecessary
in time of peace. But this calamity mas
at the same time taught that the navy Is
composed of heroic material The men of
the Missouri proved their quality when
the disaster came, by their efforts to rescue
heir comrades and to minimize the loss.
Il was far from desirable that such a DEM
onstrati ton should be afforded, but it is none
the less palliative of the pain OF the ca
lamity.

them in Mr.. 7Cleveland's letter denouncing
those who had revised the Wilson tarin
bill. Now when Mr.. German Is himself a
candidate for the st. Louis nomination, and
Edward Murphy, jr.. is supporting Judge
Parker Mr.. Smith joins Leader Murphy OF
Tammany Hall in statement that Mr.
Cleveland Is the only democrat who can
hope for election. No wonder the poll
ticians are puzzled.
And then why this investigation of the
situation in the west? The Cleveland men,
as rule. have not been expecting anything
from that quarter. Their hopes are CEN
tered in the south and in the east. If they
can manage to deadlock the convention,
they will labor with the south, and remind
her of what Mr.. Cleveland as President has
twice bestowed upon her in the way of pat
ronage, and promise her something very
handsome for her support this time. Then.
with the Olney support. the Smith support
and the GuIfey support in the east. the
Cleveland people should be quite strong.
Still, 1t must be conceded that Mr.. Cleve-
land has been. in the days of his unpop
ularity. as violently assailed In the south
in any part of the west. and IL the south IL
expected to kiss and make up why not
the west? Mr. Smiths report on the sentf
ment he finds west of the Mississippi would
make good reading.

The War News and Rumors.

The report from Chefoo that the jap
anese have captured the town of Niu-
chwaEg. a the head of the Laio Tuhg
peninsula, lacks confirmation. For some
time the strategists watching the war from
a distance have believed that Niuchwang
would eventually become an objective point
for the Japanese land forces: 1t is on
ka6ranch railroad connecting with the line
from Hardin to Port Arthur. Its seaport.
distant some thirty miles, has a superior
harbor. and 1t is a particularly desirable
base of operations from the western side
of the Laio Tung peninsula. a large Jap
anese force there established cooperating
with the army now firmly located on the
west side of the Yalu. across the neck of
the peninsula, would soon control that en-
tire area stretching to the south and COM
pletely isolate Port Arthur by land as it is
now isolated by sea.
The elimination of the Laio Tung PENN
sula from the war equation. it is believed
would be of heavy moral advantage to the
japanese. giving them besides an absolutely
uEimpeded opportunity to lard reinforce
ments for the campaign in chief in Man
churia proper. At the same time it would
enable the Russians, by withdrawal. TO con-
.centrate with 4 diminished drain upon their
supplies.
The repulse of Admiral Togo's latest at
tempt to choke the outlet of the Port Ar
thur harbor is regarded in st. Petersburg
as fairly multiplying the unfortunate effect
of the defeat of General Zassaltch on the
,Yalu.
{ That General Zassalitch blundered In too
stCutly defending his position in the face
of great odds is now the Russian cry. That
he did good work after his error of
judgment is apparently conceded. That
General Kuropatkin must make a stand
against the advancing japanese army
seems to he regarded at St Petersburg as
Inevitable. And meanwhile the Japanese
show no signs of weakening In their re-
markedly persistent effort to bottle up tie
Russian warships at Port Arthur pending
the development of the land campaign in

Joseph G. Cannon.

We may all follow Mr. Cannon with full
sympathy and belief up to a certain point.
"a He undoubtedly prefers the office he
now holds to the vice presidency The
speakership suits his tastes and exercises
his powers. 1t is an important Office, and
he has grown up to 1t. He states the case
with great frankness. and even with feel
ing. The House has become his home He
knows every nook and corner, and how to
set and keep 1t in order Is as plain as A,
3. c to him. Presiding over it must give
him the most perfect satisfaction. His re-
election to the speakership depends only on
the control of the next House by his party
republican majority means a second term
for him without contest. So far In his
first term he has achieved unusual popu-
larty In the place and second term could
but add to his laurels.
(2) Mr.. Cannon does not believe that the
situation in Illinois demands any particular
nomination. for the vice presidency. There
are other prominent republicans who agree
with him. The republican factions are bit
ter toward each other, but neither faction
is bitter, or even cold, toward Mr. Roose-
welt. 1t is argued by some that putting
Illinois in the doubtful column puts other
middle states there, Indiana among the
number. That opens up such state of
things as calls for a recast of the whole
republican proposition and calculation On
this point. then. Mr.. Cannon's position is:
Il am not necessary to party success"
90 Mr. Cannon knows that the vice
presidency would not afford opportunity
for the accomplishment of what some Of
his thorghtless admirers would expect of
him. He could but administer the Office
according to the rules of the Senate. 1t
would not be in his power to ignore or
change those rules. When reform in its
procedure comes-and reform in certain
directions has long been necessary-the
Senate itself will have ordered 1t. Until
that time arrives no presiding officer or
that body will be free from the obligations
imposed upon him by the rules that now
exist. The Vice President is the servant
OF the Senate, not it's master.
We may accept then. for these good rea-
sons. the statement that Mr.. Cannon Is
satisfied where he now is But If the Chit
cago convention. disregarding his personal
preference, and paying tribute to his whole
some personality, dominates him for vice
President, 1t is as certain as death and
taxes that he will accept, and make rat
Ting campaign for election.

A Cure for Leprosy?
rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.

rom the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The announcement of a cure for leprosy
is one that appeals strongly to the ordinary
imagination. 1t is not so much because
we fear the disease in this part Of the
world, but because it is one of the most
dreadful, has always been considered in
durable, and is known to the public largely
from the prominence given to it in the Holy
Scriptures. AS far back as there are any hui
man records 1t seems that this disea Sc has
been considered one of the scourges of the
race. 1t is detestable, not only because of
the Slow progress it makes upon the VIC
tim but because it has largely compelled
isolation, and in its later stages has rem
dered the sufferer one of the most Ioath-
some of human beings. 1t is only recently
that the nature of the malady has been
understood. 1t belongs to the class known
as germ diseases and arises from the
fact that microscopic organism attacks
the flesh and slowly makes its way against
all hitherto known effort to suppress it.
Many years pass before the whitening proc
esses reach vital part, and during these
the fate of the sufferer is terrible. Death
at almost any time would seem relief.
