WHERE THE PANIC
LOST IT'S FORCE

IN the old settled farming states

famous for their condition of prosper
ny. there has been no panic, Such

West and upon investigation you can
readily learn that It's effects were very
meagre. II really made no difference
on business or values and such states
are as prosperous as ever The
farmers had money and had IL all
through. They did not withdraw from
the banks to any appreciable extent
and the only reason that the banks
there had to use scrip for a time was
that they had loaned considerable ci
their funds In the East and like the
rest OF this country could not with
draw their loans and reserves and get
the cash for the time being Now the
condition throughout the Middle West
IA so far that It's interests are concern

lively as ever and the panic is talked
Of "a a thing Of the past. IL Is also
spoken of In somewhat the same
terms as n cyclone that passed over
distant states and Is little known ex-
cept as a distant horror read about in
the newspapers.
Thereby 70 q good sign. II the Mid

Mr.. SHERMAN

Representative Sherman Of New
York was nominated for the vice
presidency because the delegates be-
lieved IL was necessary to have a man
form his state on the ticket. Ii the
New York delegation had agreed on
any other man, that man would have
been nominated. 1t was not a ques-
ton OF ablliay or of popularity, but OF
geography, pure and simple. Mr..
sherman is neither a big man MOI an
able man. BY reason of his long SER
vice in the house he has been advanc-
ed TO a position on the committee on
rules. which governs that body. The
best that his fellow Republicans can
say of him is that he stays put In
a Republican organ we find this de
scription:
James, you know. is trusty Jim. All
the boys in the house of representa-
tives are for him because he is for
all the boys. James is what You
might call a safe ana sane. easy-driv-
ing, thoroughly householder states
man. He is not much on the initia-
tive, but If you initiate for Inn, give
him his orders. he will carry them out
or break a trace. Jim is not a captain
of a ship. He Is the navigator. Tell
him where TO go a d he will go there.
ne will ask no questions; he will
brook no interference. Orders are
orders to him. He viii never antici-
pate: he will never suggest. But if
you give him the chart. he will sail to
the point indicated by the o in red
ink or go down in the attempt"
Now we submit that Mr.. Sherman
is not Of the calibre of which presi-
dents are made. and no man who is
not fit to be president is fit to be vice
president. AS we pointed out a day
or two ago, the vice-president may AZ
any time be called upon TO assume the
duties of the chief magistracy. Ha

BENTLEY FAMILY REUNION.
All Together for First Time I'm 81
Years.

Years.
Four brothers and their one sister
the average age being rs years, met
yesterday in Pendleton, being together
for the first time in 81 years. They
were members of the Bentley family,
among the pioneers of Umatilla coun-
ty.
The occasion of the reunion was
the visit of ]. d. Bentley, the oldest
OF the family to Umatilla county Mr..
Bentley has been here a couple of
weeks. but it was not until yesterday
that all the surviving members of the
family got together, and never was a
jollier, nor more pleasant reunion.
During the day photograph of the
family was secured. 1t includes ].
d. Bentley, aged SO, of Modesto. Cal,
G. w. Bentley, of Adams, aged rs, r.
H. Bentley of Pendleton, aged 75,
Mrs. Mary McCormmach, Pendleton.
aged 73. and the baby, Colonel John
NJ. Bentley of Pendleton, who is 81
yyears Of age,
John ID. Bentley, the eldest of the
family, is a survivor of the Mexican
war, in which he served with honor.
Ir 1859 he left the old family home
IL Missouri for California, to which
state the other surviving members of
the family followed two years later.
In coming to oregon the order was
reversed, and j. NJ. Bentley, the
youngest lead the family into this
state, coming to Pendleton in Octo-
Der, 1871. His sister, Mrs. McCorm-
mach. came here from Eugene in
1877, and the brother, G. W., in "7S.

OF what is best In America, as thu
other four We should keep steadily
before our minds the fact that AM
eicanism is question of principle
of purpose, of idealism of character;
that II Is not matter of birthplace
or creed, or line of descent. Here in
this country the representatives OF
many old-world races are being fused
together into new type, a type the
main features of which are already
determined, and were determined at
the time of the Revolutionary war:
for the crucible in which all the new
| types are melted into one was shaped
from 1776 to 1889, and our national
ity was definitely fixed in all its es-
sentials by the men of Washington's
day. The strains will not continue to
exist separately in this country as in
the old world. They will be combin-
ed in one; and of this new type those
men will best represent what is loft

est in her hope for the future, who
stand each solely on his worth as a
man; who scorn to do evil to others,
and who refuse to submit to wrong
doing themselves; who have in them
no taint of weakness; who never fear
to fight when fighting is demanded
by a sound and high morality. but
who hope by their lives to bring ever
nearer the day when justice and
peace shall prevail within our own
borders and in our relations with all
foreign powers.
Usefulness of His Career.
Much of the usefulness of any ca

teaches to, the generations that come
after. We of this generation have
our own problems to solve, and the
condition of our solving them is that
we shall all work together as Ameri-
can citizens without regard to diff
ferences of section or creed or birth
place, copying, not the divisions which |
so lamentably sundered our fathers
one from another, but the spirit of |
burning devotion to duty which drove
them forward, each TO do the right
as it was, given him to see the right
in the great wars when Grant, Farra-
gut, Sherman, Thomas and Sheridan.
when Lee and Jackson, and the
Johnstons, the valiant men of the
north and the valiant men of the
south, fought to a finish the great
civil war. They did not themselves

success, by any means. The first plant
ing of corn failed to terminate entirely,
making the second crop very late. Some
varieties of radishes grew entirely on
top falling to produce edible roots and
the seed onions made but little growth
because of disease. The cucumber vines
were trained up on a trellis extending
three feet above the top Of the wire

diminished somewhat by pulling the
fruits when about the size of the little
