LUNATIc GOES TO HEADQUARTERS
FOR REDREss.-The War Department
at Washington was entered by an in
sane discharged soldier, one day last
week, who notwithstanding the high
reputation of that branch OF the ser.
vice in fighting, attempted to capture
the whole "shooting-box." He drew .
pistol and fred at one OF the messen-
gers and . lady clerk, wounding the
former seriously and tho latter slight.
ly. He was finally subdued by the
strength Of half dozen men supple
mented by that of Chief OF Staff Chat
fee. He claimed that there Was some
defect in his discharge papers. and
gave the name Of O'Brien, which he
subsequently, changed to Duffy, and
that was one Of the things that seems
to have been regarded a. conclusive
evidence Of alteration OF intellect.

only on condition that he name both
the Chairman and the Secretary OF
the National Committee. This was

it presages anything but good feeling

opportunity to retaliate is presented.

DIV Cannon Of Big Newspapers.

The Orfgoajai. touches with AinGcriy
fingers comment upon Mr.. fiearst's
proclivity for establishing city news
papers. II is evident that it would
rather mollify than aggravate that
spirit of expansion. 1t first broadly
atiirms the right of a wealthy man to
deploy his wealth in any form of en-.
teIprise that may suit his ambition,
provided that it i. not done in the
Esprit Of bravado or wanton malice"
and even then the consolatory refiec-
ton is added that Perhaps in no
other business is experience and capac-
ity SO well equipped to cope with mere
money!" and attention is called to the
alleged fact that the Hearst papers
nave promoted rather than ieopardized
the interests of rival papers. The
Oregonian thinks that Mr.. Hearst has,
by showing that he is engaged in a
legitimate endeavor to supply the
news-fieid, learned a justification he
would forfeit if he had merely gone
about endowing alleged newspapers for
fun or speculation"
1t is confessed that we have found
no little curiosity in imagining just
how the big daily papers would have
regarded the Hearst candidacy had he
not been backed by millions OF capital
and half dozen metropolitan papers
established and owned by him. The
pen of the Oregonian, especially, has
so long been dipped in oil Of vitriol,
that we have to glance at the heading
OF the paper for assurance that the oil
of bergamot is exhaled from the same
stub.

TUTELAR PARTY SA1Nrs.-There is
some reason for the Democrats claim
ing prestige in the character OF Lin.
coin. for very many of that party
donned the blue and fought for the
principles involved in the struggle for
perpetuation of the Union. He was
an honest and sincere man, for the
time representing stability of govern
ment, and unquestionably pursued the
exact policy that ensured perpetuity Of
the Union. So these who fought the
wars for principle have right to ap-
plaud the factors which made it sue
cessfu:. How different it is, when
unthinking Republicans claim prestige
from the personality and acts of a JET.
ferson. or a Jackson, whose policy was
just the opposite of the regal Federal
policy, which has ever leavened the
Republican party of to-day!

WANING Power OF THE Bosses
That Ballinger wss elected Mayor of
Seattle by majority of less than one
thousand, and that three Democrats
were elected to the Council, in a total
aggregate of about 10000 votes, places
the political fortunes OF that city in
the doubtful list. 1t is said that the
Preston Mcbride forces knitted the
ticket numerically, and it is scarcely
to be expected that the saloon vote
has, or will, line up for party as it
did in 1900 on the promise of protec-
ton and then allow the gambling act
to pass, while showing by railroad
legislation that they were able to care
for their confederates if they choose to
do so. There are many uncertain
quantities in the political situation
just now, owing to acts of omission
and commission, and it is not claim
ing too much to predict Democratic
sweep of State and nation.

Ir is q spectacle to make men aud
ANGELS weep to see George Stevenson, a
Democrat, dictate the policies of the
Republican party of this State. To such
ends has railroad domination led the
party of Abraham Lincoln, '-Colt0n
Meas Letter.
Indeed! How easy it is to assert a
proposition and attribute motives.
George Stevenson may have the power
attributed to him, but il he does, the
leading men OF the party he is said to
control, are fools, or knaves, or both,
as occasion warrants. But if that is
the cause OF its mendacity now, what
led il in 1869 to elect Selucius Gar
fielde, an admitted Copperhead, to Con-
gress when pitted against Marshall F.
Moore, a Union General, carrying
rebel lead in his body? Was it Grail

any railroad, or had they that bogy-

not the angels wept so long that
it might be reasonable to expect the
bright smile of peace would again
illumine their seraphic countenances?
The fact is, the old party is led by
INSCRIPTIONS place-hunters, and they
care little for principle if by dissemb-
ling they can succeed in keeping their

ROOSEVELT AN UNSAFE MAN.-Rep.
resentative Fitzgerald, OF New York,
lately expressed sentiments regarding
President Roosevelt which find an
echo in the hearts OF many thoughtful
people, when he said, "There is a
growing feeling of unrest throughout
the country. There is almost an uni
versal belief, even among Roosevelt's
friends, that the public service is dom.
mated by an unsafe man. All over
the country, the conviction is firm
that the present occupant OF the White
House is liable at any time to involve
us in war with some other nation"
This trait of character is recognized
even by foreigners, when Baron Won
Sternberg at banquet in Grand Rap
ids, on Lincoln's birthday, attempted
to pay the highest compliment possible
to Roosevelt by likening him in tenn.
permanent to the violent and irascible
Emperor William. To maintain such
a man at the head OF our government
neceesitates war establishment that
has kept Germany, Russia and France
groaning under lavish expenditures for
military equipment, and was probably
the main incentive for the Cars at.
tempt to establish an international
peace policy several years ago. The
proposition, be it remembered, was
favored by all as highly commendable
for every other nation but itself, jus,
as Artemus Ward was willing to ex'
emplify his patriotism during the civil
war, by sacrifice OF all his relatives
on the battlefield.
