SENATORS GET Classy.
Teller and Hopkins Use Sharp Words
in u. s. Senate.

washington. April PA sharp COL
loquy occurred in the senate today
between Senators Teller and Hopkins,
growing out OF the reading by Teller
Of letter written by the late General
H. H. Thomas of Chicago, attacking
the civil service administration OF the
treasury department. SIR. Hopkins took
exception to quoting the letter and de-
clared that the Colorado senator would
be willing to accept authority from
the sIums," whereupon Mr.. Teller de-
clined to yield further, declaring Mr..
reference to slums to be in
sulting. The incident occurred in con-
nection with the discussion of the
postoffice appropriation bill. That
was under discussion during
the first half session, all amendments
offered by democrats being voted down.
A bill providing the form of govern
nent for the Panama canal zone was
aiken up, but the debate on 1t had not
begun when the senate adjourned.

POWDER RIVER RISES.
People In Valley Fear Repetition OF
Former Terrible Flood.

Sumpter, Or, April 1.-THE Sumpter

country Is In the throes OF raging
flood. For the last 10 days the sun
has been shining brightly. and the
warm rays are fast melting the deep
snow that covers the highlands
Powder river is repeating It's action OF
seven years ago, only the damage
promises to be greater than at that
time. Sunday that stream, as well as
the Burnt river began to rise rapidly.
and the volume Of water now pouring
down upon the lowlands is the great
est that has been known for years in
that section.
While no damage has yet been done
here, a considerable portion of the
Sumpter Valley railway is under water
between here and Baker City. Mon
day mornings train did not reach here
on time, and the announcement was
made that 1t was doubtful II train con-
nections between here and that city
could be kept up until the floods sub
sided. About so men are at work along |
the railway fighting the encroachment
Of the waters, but 1t is not thought
they or any force Of men could effect
any good II the present warm weather
keeps up.
Should 1t be impossible to run trains
a line of stages will be put on con-
Meeting Baker and this city, thus keep

traffic. Sumpter valley is pretty much
covered with water, but no damage is
looked for outside of considerable in

KILLED ON OUTING.
chehalis Man Struck by Train and
Dies Instantly.


Chehalis, Wash, April 12.-At 5
o'clock yesterday Afternoon A. w. Stin-
eel the weIl-known merchant tailor of
Chehalis, was struck by the Northern
Pacific freight train No. So, en- route
from Portland to Tacoma, and killed
instantly. Just how the accident hap
pened is hard to determine, but 1t is
thought that stincel and his wife, who
were walking on the track, did not hear
the train in time to get off trestle
over Dillenbaugh creek, where they
were caught.
Mrs. Stincel was knocked from the
trestle and fell a distance Of about 10
feet. She was badly hurt but may re-
cover. 1t is thought she is internally
injured. Stincel, who was killed in
stantly, had lived at Chehalis 10 years
and was respected by all. He was a
member Of several beneficiary and fra
ternal societies His body was brought
to Chahalls and is at Sticklin's under
taking parlors. No blame attaches to
the trainmen, as the track is clear for
half mile each way and is thought
the accident might easily have been
avoided by the victims.

THE ISSUE DEFINED
SPEECHES OF PRESIDENT RoosE-
WELT AND SPEAKER CANNON.
Alike In the Address of Notification
and in the Response Thereto, the
Predominance Of the Tariff Cues
ton is Distinctly Recognized.

The two speeches delivered at Oys-
ter Bay on the 9th OF July. 1904. first
by Speaker Cannon as chairman of
the committee appointed by the Re-
publican national convention TO notify
Theodore Roosevelt of his nomination
for President of the United States;
and, second, the speech of President
Roosevelt. giving notice of his accept
ance of that nomination-haye set
tied the question as to what is the
dominant issue in this years cam
paign. II any doubt remained con-
corning the chief issue. almost the
only issue, which divides the two
great parties in the civic battle OF
1904. such doubt has been completely
removed. The tariff is the issue. 1t
has been made the issue by the plain
words alike of the authorized spokes-
man of the Republican party and OF
the candidate chosen by the unani-
nous action OF the Republican party.
In his address of notification Speak
err Cannon devoted his attention to
the tariff more largely than to all
other subjects combined. After dwell
ing briefly upon the splendid history
of the Republican party in its rela-
ton to the shaping of events and pol
:cies, Mr.. Cannon said:
Under the lead of the Republican
party for over forty years the United
States. from being a third-class pow
err among the nations has become in
every respect first. The people rule.
The people ruling, 1t is necessary that
they should be competent to rule.
Competency requires not only patriot
ism, but material well-being, educa-
ton and statecraft.
THE people. under the lead of the
Republican party, wrote upon the stat
ute books revenue laws, levying taxes
upon the products of foreign countries
seeking our markets. which replen-
ished our treasury. but were SO adj
justed as to encourage our people in
developing. diversifying and maintain
ing our industries, at the same time
protecting our citizens laboring in pro-
duction against the competition of for
eign labor. Under this policy our man
ufactured product to-day is one-third
of the product of the civilized world.
The Elbert County tribune., 1904-09-01

and our people receive almost double
the pay for their labor that similar
labor receives elsewhere in the world,
thereby enabling us to bear the bur-
den of citizenship.
Liberal compensation for labor
makes liberal customers for our prod
ucts. Under this policy OF protection
our home markets afford all our peo-
Pile better market than has any
other people on earth, and this, too.
even If we did not sell any OF our
products broad. In addition to this.
we have come to be the greatest ex-
porting nation in the world. For the
year ending the Both of June. 1904,
our exports to foreign countries were
valued at 400.000.0oo, of which
$3.50. 100000 were products of the fac
tory. The world fell in our debt last
year S470.000.000 an increase of $751;
100000 over the preceding year.
This policy of protection has al
ways been opposed by the opponents
of the Republican party, and is OPP
posed by them to-day. In their last
national platform, adopted at st.
Louis. they denounce protection as
robbery. They never have been given
power. but they proceeded by word
and act to destroy the policy of pro-
lection. Their platform is as silent as
the grave touching the gold standard
and our currency system. Their chos-
en- leader, after his nomination, hav-
ing been as silent as the sphinx to
that time. sent his telegram sayingin
substance that. the gold standard is
established, and that he will govern
himself accordingly II he should be
elected"
Later on in his speech Mr.. Cannon
returned to the subject uppermost in
his mind, as follows:
Correct revenue laws, protection
or free trade. the gold standard and
our currency system. all depend upon
the sentiment of the majority of our
people as voiced at the ballot box.
A majority may change our revenue
laws. majority may change our cur
rency Tvs; a majority may de-
stroy the gold standard and establish
the silver standard, or. in lieu of ell
Their or both. make the treasury note,

able. the sole standard of value.

dug out by the dog.
A Phillips canine followed his mis-
tress, who was on drive through the
back towns of Phillips the other day,
and after driving of all the hens
from the farms along the road he
came upon a woodchuck near the road.
He barked with Joy at the sight of
that strange animal. and with one
leap he landed in front of the wood
chuck.
Then he stopped-there was some
thing in the woodchuck's eye that in
dictated that there might be serious
trouble. The dog discovered it and
backed away to safety, and. strange to
state, the woodchuck followed him;
followed him until the poetry was all
out of the experience and the fun
was all gone. Finally the dog ac-
knowledged his defeat by dropping
his tail and starting for Phillips at q
very fast pace.-Bangor News.

That evening Arthur Morris called
on Jessie. or her favorable answer
to his suit he had not the slightest
doubt. He had carefully rehearsed
his avowal After critically reviewing
his campaign since quitting Paris he
decided that he had made no mis-
takes.
He made his declaration confidently.
but with more of feeling than Jessie
thought him capable. "Mr. Norris"
she said with an earnestness which
almost tricked herself. Il owe duty
to my father which I cannot forego.
He Ia alone and in trouble. and !
cannot leave him. You know little of
dne that the daughter OF General Mar
shall Garden will give her hand In
marriage so long as the shadow OF
bankruptcy hangs over his name"
Morris again assured Jessie of his
absolute confidence In General Car
den's financial future. and attempted
to secure some conditional promise
from her.
~ am willing 10 wait. don't you
know" he said. I'm sure General
Garden will come out all right. Go
abroad If you like. but promise to
marry me when you return" He
gazed longingly at her.
NO I will promise not to marry
within the next two years. VIII that
satisfy you?"
Morris left Jessie's presence Wild
with delight over his fancied success.
A few days later General Garden ar
rived from Boston, and held several
conferences with Arthur Morris. One
night he greeted Jessie with unusual
tenderness. The old proud light was
in his eyes. His shoulders were
thrown back and his step was elastic.
81 am no longer bankrupt. Jessie.
my darling" he said, when they were
alone. II have SO disposed of my Sc
cufities to Mr.. Morris that am able

for protection. II stands for the gold
standard and our currency system.
All these dwell in legislation enacted
under the lead of the Republican par
ty and against the most determined
opposition of the Democratic party,
including its leader and candidate.
These being our policies. and having
been most useful to the country. we
have confidence in and love them. II
1t be necessary from time to time that
they should be strengthened here and
controlled there, the Republican party
stands ready. with loving. competent
hands, to apply the proper remedy.
! say remedy Being our policies. we
will not willingly subject them to
their enemies for slow starvation on
the one hand or to sudden destruction
on the other.
Since the Republican party was
restored to power, in 1897, under the
lead of Mckinley, our country has
prospered in production and in com
merce as 1t has never prospered be-
fore. In wealth we stand first among
all the nations"
Not less plain and positive on the
subject of vital Importance OF the
protective tariff as an issue was Pres
ident Roosevelt in reply. He did not
hesitate to declare himself in har-
mony with the proposition that pro-
lection is and must continue to be the
settled, permanent policy OF the Re
publican party when he said:
I'VE have enacted tariff law un-
der which, during the past few years,
the country has attained a height of
material well being never before
reached. Wages are higher than ever
before. That whenever the need arises
there should be readjustment of the
tariff schedules is undoubted; but
such changes can with safety be made
only by those whose devotion to the
principle of a protective tariff is be-
yond question; for otherwise the
changes would amount not to read
justment. but to repeal. The read
justment when made must maintain
and not destroy the protective prin-
ciple. To the farmer. the merchant,
the manufacturer, this Is vital; but
perhaps no other man is so much In
terested as the wage worker in the
maintenance of our present economic
system. both as regards the finances
and the tariff. The standard of living
of our wage workers is higher than
that of any other country, and 1t can
not SO remain unless we have pro-
tective tariff which shall always keep
as a minimum a rate OF duty sufh-
cient to cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad. Those

The old man made no reply and an
interval of silence followed. She felt
that his eyes we're upon her, not UNI
kindly. but searching, friendly and
magnetic. Almost unconsciously she
addressed him:
Have you received any word or
heard anything from John, Mr.. Burt?"
He paused for moment as II to

and her voice and the confident look
in her eyes added emphasis to her
declaration.
Peter Burt abruptly changed the
subject. nor did he return to IT. For
nearly three hours they talked on
various topics, and never once did
Peter Burt lead the conversation in a
direction not entertaining to his fair
young visitor. Not until the great rock
to the west of the house threw its
long shadow over them did Jessie look
at her watch. With al exclamation of
surprise sho arose to go.

very happy one for me, my child" he
said. as he lifted her to the saddle.
He bowed his gray head ana raised
his powerful arms.

station.

Jessie remained behind. Back
through the swiftl7-6ying years her
fancy wandered to the summer day
when. under the tuition OF sturdy
farmer lad. she fsned for crabs over
the side OF the bridge.
Did John Burt yet live? Did sne
yet hold the place in his heart she oc-
cupied on that night. when. under the
old naples, she rested against his
breast and babe him sad fareweilg
Would he return? When? The little
brook, flowing towards the ocean on
the outgoing tide, seemed the sole
connecting link between the past and
the future.
The clatter of hoofs aroused jessie
from her reverie. She looked up TO
see Edith coming towards her.
What attraction has that muddy
old creek?" demanded Edith. Come
on, Jessie; uncle Tom has sounded
the horn for dinner"
On the morrow Edith and Mrs.
Bishop went to Boston on a shopping
expedition, but they could not per-
suade JESSIE to accompany them. In
saddled, and. declining an escort, soon
disappeared in a turn OF the road.
Half an hour later she stopped In
front of Peter Burt's farmhouse.
She had not dismounted when the
great oaken door swung back and
Peter Burt came towards her. There
was a kindly CLEAN in his eye, as,
with a courtly air. he bowed and
greeted her.
